Its 11pm where I live and I connected my HTC Arrive to my laptop check for update and said there currently isn't one.
I updated mine to 7720.68 earlier today. Central California here

6:17AM and still no update for me...
BTW I'm still o 7392.
If you can't wait, you can try this: http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
It took me a few tries to get it working, but it finally worked and I'm now nunning mango in my HTC 7 Pro
how do I update if I already installed the RTM on my sprint Arrive.
I same happens to me yesterday, Zune says no update but there is a way to trick it which is what I've done and I now have full mango on my phone.
You have to click search for updates in Zune but as soon as you've done that disconnect ur pc from the internet, Zune will then for some strange reason say its found the mango update and voila you can update your phone to a legit version of mango

the trick absolutely worked on both my arrives.
I'm very happy with Mango, but multitasking isn't QUITE what I'd prefer--but it's not a dealbreaker or anything.
But note to ALL OS makers/carriers/manufacturers: Making a smartphone without visual voicemail is like making a car without blinkers.
Some people might have to wait until the end of October, at the latest. They're still doing the roll out in batches.
Updated my wife's Arrive last night using the force method. Took two tries and we were off and running.
Yeah: once officially (right when it rolled out form the beginning) and once having to force it via disconnect trick today.
I forced the update and it worked flawlessly. Still no Internet Connection Sharing...
I think it's pretty lame that they've got that whole wifi chip excuse thing. For one I believe the Arrive has the correct chip. More importantly how about just giving us USB tethering for now? My phone is my backup for when my ISP goes down- except it isn't because Sprint/MS/HTC are dragging their feet on the tethering deal.
The force method worked for me on the 27th. All going well. Don't wait for the roll out, get on it now

Mine got it without being forced, I had to force my wife's Arrive. Another friend of mine also forced hers, they all work great.

So for you when you connected it and Zune appear it told you an update was available? I'm in NY and so far it still says no new update found

All of a sudden for some reason my wifi seemed slow. so i went to i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html to do a speed test, its the only one i know of that shows ping times. Up until today they have always been between 30ms-40ms. Today its consistently in the 1000ms range. Now 2 days ago I did the Chevronwp7.updater to get NoDo. Thats the only change I've done, and even after I did it, my wifi was still fine. Now I tested my HTC Inspire, iPhone 4, and a Droid 2 on the same site, and all of their ping times are within range.
I know its not due to the nodo update seeing that it was over 48 hours ago, and was fine up until earlier today. I'm just worried about sending it in to ATT and them noticing the different os version on the phone.
Do a restore if you cant find a solution

that won't get rid of the os version would it, i thought the chevronwp7.update couldn't be rolled back.
i did a restore, and still have the same problem. i'm probably gonna have to wait till att pushes the nodo update before i can send it in, which at this pace will probably be sometime next year.
well i tried 5 different wifi connections and still have the same problem, browsing on 3g is faster than wifi. I need some advice, if you were in my shoes would you call att to get the phone swapped out? Remember that I flashed the nodo update via the chevronwp7.updater. I don't think its from the update cause wifi was fine after that for a day or two.
can anyone do me a favor and go this page.
http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html
on wifi, can you run a speed test and tell me what kind of ping times you get.
thank you.
I've had this problem with my Omnia 7 from day one. Just run the speedtest on that site and I'm getting pings of between 982ms and 1047ms.
I've finally installed the 7392 (+7390) update via Zune, it included a firmware update from Samsung that updated the radio software but performance is still worse than useless.

I ran the test that website on my Lg Optimus 7 and I got a lot of latency readings, it starts up on 1617ms and ends on 175ms. The speed says 3866kbps which seems accurate according to another test site.
When the phone first came out, the Software Update Check (Settings>Software update>Software update check) returned an error. Now it says "Current version is the latest version." Hopefully that's in preparation for an OTA push of the Gingerbread update. It can't get here soon enough.
Few hours ago i checked it now it was giving me authorization errors and time outs.
now i see it says latest update which means they are closing up on the gingerbread update i hope "Ice Cream" is available soon after that. - Side note: it was noted that Honey Comb was like Windows Vista (bug wise etc, which means "Ice Cream" is the Windows 7 of Android!
I don't know if it's possible, but it would behoove T-Mo/LG to get a bug fixing update out in the wild before most early adopters 14 remorse windows are up. I know some of you bought on launch day, but some of us waited. I myself have until a week from today.
Incidentally, I'm pretty sure what we really want on our G2xs is Android 2.3.4, still called Gingerbread. Honeycomb is for tablets.
I'm willing to bet its a problem for the minority of owners of this phone. The bugs that is

Are you out of your mind? Look at the percentage of threads on the first page. 3/4 are devoted to problems. Here's a quick recap:
1) Screen bleeding
2) Wi-Fi either not connecting, dropping connections, or disabling profiles
3) Bluetooth not retaining profiles, not reconnecting, or not holding a connection
4) Reboots which LG acknowledged as a s/w problem after months of O2X complaints
5) "System checking..." forcing a hard reset at boot up
6) T-Mobile apps opening a 4G connection when Wi-Fi's enabled
We're all on the same ROM and radio and the majority of this stuff isn't hardware. So the "minority" to me are people who haven't really tried to use the functions above heavily and don't know they have problems.
I'm not having any issues with my phone. Battery life could be better but I use it a lot.

FYI LG is in charge of the software update not Tmobile. I recieved an email from an LG service rep and it said "As far as I know, our technicians are under review for the 2.3 Android version." This was said on a support email I had sent to LG. My G2x seems struggle to keep a good connection, especially in my home. I keep losing the signal and it disconnects. Tmobile said they were going to check my area to see if there are issues. If nothing gets better by the 9th of this month I'm returning mine before my 14 days are gone.
im getting force closes when trying to open the software update menu now. guess ill be flashing it whenever it comes instead of getting it ota -_-
You sir are right. I just checked and it now says current version is latest. Progress.

I was just on the market and I saw that there is an update for the t Mobile My Account app. Has anybody installed this yet? I'm wondering if this fixes the WiFi issue I had with the 5.6 update freezing DNS which is the reason why I rooted my G2X. I'm also hesitant because I currently have the my account frozen.

I typically try to avoid T-Mobile software like the plague... no convenience is worth having their programming gum up my phone.
I'll remain hopeful though that T-mobile will start getting their act together starting with updating their apps and fixing them proper. Despite my angst against the topic I'm still curious regardless.
My wife's s4g got it last night but not on my g2x
I downloaded it last night. It is still a buggy mess. It takes forever to sync with Tmo and half the features do not work. Billing and Plan still do not sync. It just gives a message to call to get the info after about five minutes of doing nothing.
Activity/data used does work which is nice for those stuck on the 2g plan.
Still a horrible app...Delete.

It is even buggier than before, I might try restoring the old version
Well I'm glad I didn't update
Based upon the results so far I'm glad I left that update alone.
Uninstalled. That thing sucks. How hard is it for a company the size of TMo to build a half decent app?
I had to uninstall updates then reinstall and reboot. After all that mine syncs all fields just fine and I find it to be a great resource to monitor my usage since no matter what 3g watchdog says, T-Mobile will be throtling me for what they see pass-through for data. Its also super easy to pay my bill with.

I didn't even have to do that; I just updated it in the market and it all just works fine for me. (I don't use it very often and didn't immediately open it after the update, so it's probable that I did have a reboot in there somewhere between the update and the first time I used it.)
dunno why u guys are having so much trouble with it. works fine for me even before the update
I started the software updater earlier and sure enough it reported an update was available. I was going out so thought I'd do it tonight when I had more time and clicked cancel. I ran the updater again tonight (several times) but now all I get is the "current version is the latest version" message. wtf?

This happens all the time.
try take out your sim then restart phone, if not, try turn off your phone for 10min, then turn on and try again, if still nothing, try change time/date for your phone and wait about 15mins. if not, then try contact LG?
This update can be only done via wifi so your gonna want to switch on your wifi..
What i did to get it was switch wifi off then on..

not sure if it's actually true, first time when on my ex-Incredible S receiving OTA update, I was on mobile internet (3G) :/
Yes the wifi is on (I turned it off and on again too) and I'm on June 16th firmware and in the UK
It definitely gave me an update option this afternoon, but not now?
Maybe they found a problem with the July update and pulled it?

no, it won't, otherwise we all would be recommended to force back-up ours.
just try my methods, if not working, try update via PC with LG Support Tool, if it's unsuccesful, it should give you another go for update via OTA after couple hours.
Just tried again and the update was there again, I've downloaded it and its updating now. Maybe the servers were overloaded?
Pete
Edit.......now up and running again with the 8th July 2011 firmware update
Hows the stability, I am having some frustration with this update.
Some process went awol overnight, had 85% power when I went to bed, woke me up with the "phone turning off" sound as the battery had drained.
Tried using a third party camera app which worked on the June firmware, no picture on the July firmware. Tried a few times, got a picture once. Then tried to go back on the official camera app and the phone locked up with a black screen.
So generally I find the new firmware is awesome for 1080p video now, but a lot more unstable. I'm hoping we will get another update next month addressing these issues and hopefully improving still photo quality.
I just hope the Android 2.3 update does not cause any regression of problems once its out, although I suspect these improvements are somewhat a gradual upgrade to what 2.3 will have (none base OS components) to ready the phone for 2.3.
It already looks like it has the 2.3 kernel based on what I read the kernel versions were supposed to be for each Android release.
Just tried to update the wife's phone, same result, no update! This is a pita, I'll try again later. Not had chance to test the update yet, I'll see how it behaves today.

My focus takes a while to boot up now after the mango update. After I shut it off then power the phone on it stays on "samsung" for a good minute before it loads up so I can use it. Anyone else?????
2nd.... The marketplace hasn't notified me of any updates yet.... I just updated earlier today...

It will take a little bit for marketplace to let you know about updates but when it does, it'll be large (I had 18 updates come through). Sometimes plugging into Zune makes the app update notification move faster.

Agree with you,my mozart has stopped fetching the updates from marketplace for months...everytime i have do it manually,go into the apps i bought and press share and press back,then the updates will appear. Last time, connecting my device to Zune still works,but now it looks like it is not.
few weeks ago,i connected my device to zune,it also showing 13 updates to me.
this situation is so frustrating,hope microsoft can solve this out....god...as the apps installed on my device is increasing,the manual update thingy,not gonna work soon. Its so damn tired...
Ok! Thanks for the replies! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone on this...
Anyway! Mango rocks!!! Still missing features but overall they did a good job!
just got mango update via notification.
no update notes for me yet either and if i look i cant see any... just share...
only one that had the option was samsung now and that is broken and wont update.

Ahh goodo. I'll just leave it for a day or so before doing anything drastic like re-installing them then!
How long did the process of gettin app update notifications take for everyone?
I updated mine around 15 hours ago now and i've still had no notifications. I've been able to go in and "force" an update to check that it will actually work (had to go into the app, press back then re-open it).
Checking the versions of apps i have installed there are a number that are in need of updating.
Everything else is working fine, live tiles, push email, facebook chat etc.. all working well.
Just worried i'm not getting any... people seem to say wait a bit but surely not over 24 hours?
Thanks!
I've had this problem for ages (running HTC Mango RUU) but thought it was just me. I've posted in different forums but no-one seemed to have the same problem.
Two days after installing Mango I had 5 updates for the HTC apps already installed on my phone.
A week after that I got one for Accuweather and then last week I got one for TuneIn radio.
During this time I've manually updated apps such as Flickr and HTC Hub.
It's a bit crap really as the update notifications used to be really quick but now it takes ages.

Same thing here then... I used to get pretty snappy app updates. I don't really want to have to trawl through my installed apps periodicly to see if an update is available :|
Hopefuly it's just something to do with marketplace being busy due to the updates...
Ok - Maybe my impateince?
They've just come through, got 13 updates pending! :s
I guess the network is just busy at the moment!
