Do you have some source suggesting anyone should be seeing it soon?
*Edit* I see posts of people saying that other people are saying they are getting the OTA, but nobody who actually says they got it themselves haha
Yeah that is what i read too . That is why i started this thread so that we can see who has it and to actually show us an actually screen shot of it on their phone.

I haven't seen anyone saying they've gotten the OTA update. EP1W seems stable enough to release, though. I think the current issues a few people are having are isolated to their location (constant tower switching draining battery) or the TW4 implementation in the debloated leak.

You can check for, and potentially even download an OTA update when on a custom ROM, however, you won't be able to actually apply it. It checks literally every file to make sure it hasn't been modified, and if any file is missing or changed, it will fail to update.
As of right now,09/06/11 1:46PM Eastern in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with a last name starting in "S," I have NOT gotten the update. I know sometimes it rolls by area, sometimes it rolls by last name (like Sprint) - if it is coming today, it hasn't come to me yet. Obviously you guys will be first to know if/when it does.
I'm 100% stock, not even rooted. Just FYI.
I don't think any OTA will be rolling out until the end of the month at the earliest.
I think Verizon typically updates their device support page before rolling out OTA updates:
http://support.vzw.com/system_update/charge.html
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/droid_charge_instructions.pdf
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/droid_charge.pdf
Nothing new there so I'm guessing they haven't started rolling out GB anywhere.
Guess the people who say they've gotten it are lying. Not believing its released yet until I see screenshots. And yeah, even though the rom itself is done, they still have to finalize it and make sure it's ready for OTA, not just flashing through PST, train their staff, etc etc. But WE have it

THIS!
The leak was labeled as "official" so maybe that is where people are saying they have he official one.
I think we will see the OTA's before the end of the month unless p3droid has another leak in their hands (this last one was a month old)
Nothing here in good old NH yet
So what real proof do we have that this EP1W is even the final release?

My thought is that this is not the release that Verizon will be rolling out. The "official" designation is something that the dev guys put on it, saying its their official release.
There are some strange things in the UI that make me think this isn't an RC. Also, the timing of it is odd, since the devs have had it in their possession for so long.

Let me correct you both,
I do not label things, if it is labled as official and OTA by samsung, then I will state it is official. If that changes over time I will state that as well. You assumption that I just randomly give titles to this is very incorrect.
As to your second point, we always have things in our possesion long before releasing to the general public. That is not an indicator of squat.

Either way I hope you're right. I can't wait for some GB action.

I can say that it does come from verizon and its not your everyday cs rep or a store employee. I have known the person since I'm 5 (41 Now) and they have been with verizon 15 years and has worked his way up from tech to a nice position.
I can also add that they were looking into making the maintenance update part of the GB upgrade but were having issues with it so as of now they are two seperate ota's.
Im sure some of the devs here can check and see if this has any validity. I cant get him to confirm a GB date but he said nothing will be set for GB until current issues are dealt with..

Relax, brah. It's coming. Although Sammy and Big Red are both slow at pushing the update process, you're still going to be happier with a highly polished final product and that's exactly what we're going to get.
The leaks are flowing and I've heard we've made major leaps beyond what was even offered in the latest EP1W leak. This is awesome news.
Don't worry, the GB OTA is coming. It's a 99.999% certainty.
I'm personally more concerned with how long Sammy will take to publish source code for the ROM and kernel, than I am about the timeline for the OTA. At least I know the OTA is going to start pushing soon...

Samsung is not slow with updates, Verizon is the one holding it up as they reject nearly everything Samsung, and lately HTC too, send them.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-v...rickle-out-dialer-trick-appears-help-it-along
i don't know about you guys but my phone is BEAST! Rooted, oc'd, and themed... no update will make ics run like the rom I'm running now.
If you have a non-rooted ns and you're waiting for an update, maybe you should consider another phone BC stock will always be crap compared to a customized rom and kernel combo. If I was going to stay stock, I'd get something with touchwiz, sense, or even weaksauce apple.
If you are rooted, what the hell are you complaining about? Have you looked in the development section? Do you not see all the freaking options we have? There's only one other phone in America thats running stable ics... and guess what... its a nexus.
As far as I'm concerned, Google showed love by allowing me to run ics for the past 4 months while phones that have hit the market since then haven't even gotten a whiff of real ice cream. So just chill out and take comfort in knowing that the best is yet to come
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...
The only reason I am waiting for the damn OTA is for a new preferred radio and a damn fix on my 3G connection going down after being in a bad area for a long period of time. This is why I went back to GB because I need to use my phone reliably.

I think android authority jumped the gun on this one. Usually in the past we have seen the real OTA come out about 10 days from the start of the soak test. And they usually give the soak 7 days to go though.
Especially since they have listed for the OTA is :

No a soak, is just a way to get it in the hands of several users to make sure it does not explode peoples phones, or turn wifi off or turn the radio to hell or anything really odd like that. Usually a soak is very similar as it is in IT, to where you turn it on, and let it run for a few days to make sure nothing catches fire, or dies right off.
If nothing like that happens, then it will be released as an ota in about 10 or so days, bugs and all.... and then the bug fixes will come in a month or so after.... sort of like our 2.3.6 was a huge bug fix to our 2.3.5.

haha - thats a decent way of explaining...
From what the devs/mods on the moto forums said, it'll only be a few days before the OTA is released. Somewhere around 3 days from SOAK start.
Matt/Mark (whichever one is there) said that this is basically a test to make sure the update will install.
I'd say it will probably be official soon. All in all, we know ICS runs pretty decent on our phone, no major bugs, and can install on a clean system. What's left?
