G2x to receive gingerbread update early next week.

Yes! I hope the reporting is accurate. I'm getting fed up with annoying bugs.

i just hope it fully fixes the freeze issue i fixed mine anyway with the cm7 nightly and that kernel cm7 0.1.3 the one with the new battery driver i think so far phone is going strong no reboots in like 3 days and thats coming from a 3+ reboots a day i believe the kernel was the problem

Can we receive our updates if I'm rooted? I don't want any delays for my update

Wish in one hand, **** in the other.
Yeah right.

good to hear! I was just thinking to root my phone. New to Android and never done this. Think I will hold off for a tad to see if this update comes out. Or is a root still the way to go? I mean will o interfere with the update?
I'm intrigued with the titanium backup. that and the terrible battery life are pushing me to consider rooting.

Yes you can still receive the update,but if u update u will loose the root.So just wait for a rooted version of the upcoming release n b good to go.

Pssh, I'll believe it when I see it. So far I had random reboots and now a jumpy screen that registers random touches by itself (on every ROM I've flashed). I've had random reboots, my device froze in lock, GPS is buggy........Getting good 4G speeds though.
Add this new date to the list of dates when this update will finally roll out: June, Summer, July, near-August, December 21, 2012. But if it gets here that soon, there's no way in hell you'll see me complaining! xD

that would be decent, hopefully new baseband, performance improvements, and etc. lets see what this brings

+1! Sad that my G1 had 5x better reception than this phone.

I'm very excited. From all the tmobile reps I've talked to, the ones who have gotten to sample say it makes the phone wayy smoother and performs much much faster. With this phone already so fast, this should be ultra cool. Hopefully it will cease the complaining.

No big deal - one click root is just that - do it again.
However, I have read a number of times that rooting (and deleted system apps) may block the update. But then you will just have to wait for a downloadable zip on this website - should be pretty quick I would think.

@gaww yea bro u know they'll have one up that day rooted lol

They better get on it before the sensation launches june 15.
the update has gotten delayed quite a bit, maybe its the duals that are making it hard for them to get it stable.

Don't start rooting/flashing or you'll be hooked. It turns into an addiction fairly quickly.

FWIW I have heard that the additional delay was because of 2.3.4 and not 2.3.3. Take it with a very large grain of salt.

What else would you expect them to say?

Netflix

It's not showing in the marking but if you look in the g2x forums theres a few apks and I can confirm that one of them works perfectly. It's the updated app and I just tested it watching John Q. Netflix and HBO go FTW on the qHD screen!!!
Here's the link that is still working after netflix updates

Same. Uninstalled it too.
On the HTC Magic, it's SLOW SLOW SLOW!
Even on the Sensation, the new market is slow.
There is no way to turn off the unwanted Download Books / Rent Movies options in the market. It just clutters things up with features that some people will never use.
Also, looking at the list of installed apps no longer sorts by "Install Date". It only sorts by "Alphabetical" order... which makes it difficult to locate and uninstall a recently downloaded application, after you find out that the app doesn't do what it says it should - and you've forgotten the app's name.
EDIT: And REVIEWS are out of order. Reviews on the top could be from 2009 or 2010.

Have you guys tried a reboot after the install to see if that helps with speed? I have the market on all 3 of my phones and it's running smooth.

Still haven't got it yet. No big deal though.

It seems other devices with 2.3.3 are affected by this. So it cannot be a hardware problem its just a simple fault with gingerbread. So we just need to wait for an update
BTW, which deal did you buy your DS from? The _£25 a month for
12months?

It's happening to me too, and a few searches on Google found some threads on some of the ICS ROMs that quote up to 45 minutes for it to come back. I'm wondering how many messages those people had, though. The last I checked I think I had over 15K (I'm a pack rat - that's every message since my first Android phone activated the night before they launched the G1). I know that it took a couple of hours to restore those messages when I first got my Sensation using MyBackupPro, so I'm hoping that will be the approximate amount of time this "upgrade" will take.
I'm also hoping that the messaging app will be faster. I had almost this many messages on my G2 last month before I upgraded to the Sensation via a warranty exchange. The first time I loaded the messaging app on my Sensation it took 5-10 seconds to show me the list (G2 was < 1 second). Hopefully the HTC ICS Sense messaging app will be as fast as the app on my G2 or I may have to revoke my pack rat status.
[Update, it seemed to take around an hour when all was said and done. It seems to load and update the screen much faster now as well, but I'll know for sure when I get some new messages...]

Ok after reading all of you guys opinions on the ota is ready making me think twice about installing it lol
Sent from My $40 Sensation

I just updated my post above to include the results. It looks like the messaging app might be faster for huge numbers of messages now.
But you may have to wait up to an hour per 15K-ish messages to do its initial bookkeeping on the first start after the OTA.

My sensation won't update. It starts the update process then freeze. WTF!

Sent from My $40 Sensation

I'm happy with it, but I have noticed one issue. Twice now the screen brightness has gone way down and not come back up. I have to turn automatic brightness off and back on for it to come back.
I don't care about the blue battery icon, I use ChargeBar and Battery Status to keep an eye on charge levels anyway.

I too have the same problem, I received the android 4.0 update notic and have already download it but unable to update after the download. when ever I hit the install now all I see is an android icon and the ! mark on my phone scerrn. When that happen I will have to remove the battery out of the phone before I can get it back on. I am using the sensation 4G but running the sensation XE firmware from XDA website.
