I found this out last week when checking for the TOA updates. I clicked the update and when it started i cancled it. so when i clicked it again it gave me the you have to wait 24hrs blah blah blah.
Well i didnt want to wait 24 hours and found oout that if you change the date in your phone under settings to the next day it will let you do the update.
ex its the 27th. and it tells you you have to wait 24hrs. change the date to the 28th and it will let you check for updates again. once your done. change the date back.
NOTE: once you change the date back if you click on check for updates again it will say you have to wait 48hrs.
Old news. Wish people would read the threads first.
i skimmed threw some of the OTA updates posts that poped up wqhen i put the title. didnt see anythign so put it up here.

Just wondering if it is rolling out in stages as it does for major updates?
My girlfriend and I both have a Captivate, both bought on release date at same place.
I checked for updates on both phones, and hers found one, mine did not. I'm no to worried about it honestly, just wondering.
Yes, that is correct. About 15k per day for the next few weeks.
Or if you don't want to wait, you could always move the date on your phone ahead and try again. That's how I got mine, had to go two days ahead.
Good luck.
Yes, the update will be done in batches based on your IMEI number's.. It will be a push message to the phone.. so you don't necessarily have to go to the settings->>software update menu - I keep getting the "communication failed" error - regardless how many days I set ahead

Were you rooted when you updated?

Sure was, and was after the update. Sideloading still works as well. Dunno if this will be the case if/when we get a Froyo update.
Reading through all the troubles that people were having I did remove the clockwork update zip before trying. Don't know if that had any bearing, I'm just paranoid. Worked like a charm.
I'm downloading a new software update . I had already installed the last update.
edit
When I say last update I meant the one with the GPS fix.
What else could this be besides froyo ?
edit
Something funny happen, the update didnt install and now I cant check for another one.
edit
I changed the date on my phone so now I'm trying the update again.
edit
It keeps failing, so I dont know what this is .
wrong.........
i tried 4 times, wasted many of my limited data, never get updated. Att sucks.

AT&T doesn't charge you for anything that comes from the update server. You sir, suck. ;-)

It sure does show up under data used, so I assume that it will be counted against you data plan.
Is your phone rooted? Showing symptoms associated with.
AGAIN
Yeah I have no idea what this update is ? This is like the 5th time it failed on me, so forget it.
I am rooted.
When I got the update, I had just gotten the phone. The update went through just fine, the day after I rooted my phone. So maybe rooting had something to do with it. I don't see how that could effect it but maybe.
I think it's time you detach the umbilical cord to the OTA update Update using Clockwork. (Just a suggestion).
just seen it in my bar but just started so ill guess ill wait and see what happens
My store demo got the update around midnight while we were doing our refresh. I have no clue what it fixes/updates. Please share. Mine hasn't gotten the update yet.
I saw your post and looked at my phone. Have the same thing.
2.2.1 update dont know the fixes either
JUst want to throw out there that I got the update for the HTC Arrive just now. Currently updating as I type this. Hoping my power doesn't go out because I'm in Texas and the weather is insane right now...

That backup just seemed to take too long. Unfortunately, nothing HTC specific. Still have that 160 SMS character mess...ugh.
Ugh, Im hoping this didn't break MMS...there's only one way to fix that -.-
Didn't realize this update was going to take this long, since when I updated my Focus to NoDo it took like 10 minutes.
Oh well, next time I won't start an update right before bed. But even though the update won't actually change anything that I will notice, I still have to do it ASAP, because I just do!

lol, I did the same thing. Ended up having to stay up until 12:30 am so I could have my phone back. I use the alarm on it to wake me up at 6 am
Driver loaded?
So, I got the update a couple of days ago, daughter yesterday, wife this morning. I've got two more Arrives to go.
One thing I noticed was that when the phone was put into update mode, my Win7 gave the "found new hardware" dialog and I have a HTC 9#### (I don't remember the number but it was something like 96300 or so -- and a quick google the other day revealed it to be the right model number) driver show up when I clicked on the details. When I plug it in now, it just goes to Zune software again and I can't see the number.....but a driver got loaded.
Did MS push a driver or did whatever flashing mode cause Win7 to recognize it? This might go along with the tethering work being carried out......
EDIT: 93100. Looked through history.
Just thought I would run the LG software update wizard on my PC, with the phone plugged in. My G2X is INSTALLING IT RIGHT NOW!!!
OH PLZ PLZ PLZ let this rock... Has anyone else seen, done this yet?
I just took a screenshot and added it! I'm backing up my phone now... Will post, but it's lookin like Gingerbread is OFFICIALLY HERE.
WOOT!!!!
DAMMIT... it changed it mind, and says my phone is up to date... Sorry guys. What a damned beating.
Let is know if you do actually get the update.
But, I'm a little wary that there is actually one. I've had this same update screen come up on me twice within the last couple of weeks, and it ultimately came back and told me that I had the latest version. I just checked again and it says that my phone has the latest version.
The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
Please update the moment you're finished.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Mine says I have latest version, don't need update. Are you pulling our legs?
I'm SO sick of this crap... Yeah.. as you can see from the screenshot, it said it was an OS update. I just backed everything up, I hit continue, and BAMMM. Your phone is up to date.

I'm prolly grasping @ straws now... But I have rooted my phone. Is anyone out there 100% stock? If so, try this update.

I'm 100% stock, never rooted. And, like I mentioned, I have gotten that screen before (twice), but then it comes back and says that there's no update. I didn't get it today, though.
DAMMIT! Wasn't LG supposed to give us some details on this "In a few days" well over a week ago?!
