Can you post the address you were sent to in order to D/L it?
The update is sent ota (over the air). You dont manually install it, its all automatic.
what if your running on the AT&T network and not T-Mobile....will it still update OTA?
can you check the device info (use anycut->activities->device info) and tell us all the info displayed?
Build Description

Build Date

RIL Impl version

Understand it's OTA but from what I have heard, you receive an SMS and click YES is you want to install. Therefore, presume that "yes" is a link?
OTA doesn't always mean it's pushed over a dedicated channel... just means it is downloaded to the phone rather than a computer
I have mine connected via AT&T and this is what it says

No, you don't receive an sms.
so when will a update program be available for non T-mobile users?
Would tmobile release an update for someone not using their service?
It's hard to say, get a prepaid sim. Don't use it, just stick it in there one night a week from now after the update is out for everyone.

OK cool...so has anyone been awake when this update came through? Does it just suddenly power off and restart?
What update are ya talking about, I didn't hear about an update?
Havent gotten the update yet. I know some of the news said it was supposed to happen between the 23rd and the 26. Phone Still shows RC19, wonder when i will get my update.
If you look at Device Info it shows you if it is downloading an update. This will be the key factor. And I believe that is what prompts you to update.
After reading what the update does....not concerned about getting it any longer. Nothing that will be truly noticeable to most.
Update?
Greetings all..
What does this update do exactly, my specs match those posted....

I hope you find out if non tmobile users can get it. In uk you will be able to buy unlocked. I was hoping the update was via google rather than tmobile and they had just always said tmobile due to the branding of the handset

Your phone will receive a notification of FOTA update when it is made available. Simply press OK to accept the update via a data connection such as Wi-Fi or GPRS/3G. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Build number (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Software Information> Software number). The new Build number after the update will be 2.36.405.5. Update: Android 2.3 upgrade. Note：Please back up your data first before upgrading your phone. We recommend using a free Wi-Fi hotspot or an unlimited data plan to apply this update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. For any questions, please contact us at http://www.htc.com/www/CA_Hotline.aspx

I tried but with no luck (
Any ideeas??
so what exactly is your question and what does it have to do with the apps and games thread?
I tried too! But nothing. No updates...
its UK only...
I am in uk and seems like there is no update yet for us...
I have received this upgrade and have had nothing but trouble since installing it. I was wondering if there was a way I can put my phone back to the way it was?
Basically, since the update, the only difference in my phone that I notice is an app called "Dock" which is basically a new screen for when you are driving. I have had nothing but trouble receiving calls or texts and at worst, I have received texts 26 hours after they were sent. My work depends on my company being able to contact me at any given time which, since the update, they have had a great difficulty doing.
Is there any way I can roll back the phone to the previous software as HTC and my network company are shockingly bad at making any attempt to solve the problem?
Thanks

YOUR DROID 2 GLOBAL BY MOTOROLA
JUST GOT EVEN BETTER.
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update, Version.4.5.600.A956.Verizon.en.US,
for your Droid 2 Global by Motorola. This update provides several improvements for your device, as
well as upgrading to the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Operating System (OS).
Droid 2 Global by Motorola
SOFTWARE UPDATE
****Lastest update 10/12/11:
Everything must be squared away now, as the new build of 4.5.608 has been approved and should be made available shortly. Normally when these support documents arrive, the update shows up within a week or so.
Letter from Motorola:
10/12/11:
Hi.
"I want to thank you for providing feedback on the Droid 2 Global Gingerbread upgrade. The feedback from Motorola Feedback Network members helped us identify a serious issue and stop the general distribution of the software before a larger number of owners were impacted. I want to personally thank you for your contribution -- it is just this kind of thing that demonstrates the value of this group.
Now we've put in the needed changes to eliminate this single serious issue and we're ready to resume the rollout. Because you provided feedback before, we will include you in the initial push and ask again for your feedback.
We will not do a private community as we think we understand the strengths and gaps of this software based on our first soak. I will be sending a survey -- maybe two -- to make sure that you are able to update, and to see that the encryption issue that caused us to delay has truly been addressed.
Expect the push of a new load tomorrow. You should see no change in how the device operates overall -- unless you encountered the encryption issue. That should disappear.
I will send out a survey tomorrow -- in the event that you have any update problems, use that to let me know.
Again, many thanks for participating in the Motorola Feedback Network. You are really making a difference.
Regards,
- Matt

VERY interested in the improvements to system stability and GSM radio .. just last week I lent my (currently idle) D2G to a friend, and now the update that sounded forever away, suddenly appears.. by the time I get around to getting the handset back, this will probably be old news
If somebody could update this thread when it's actually released, I'd really appreciate it. Would love to make a backup of my current Fusion install, SBF, and then give it a shot.
Ok here the news straight from Verizon Tech suport the update is scheduled to roll 615am cen time ...
Off network install
Will there be a way to install this update if I am not connected to the VZW network? I am currently living in Saudi Arabia (i am from Kansas(insert joke here)) and I am using the STC network with their sim card. I can not get connected wifi due to the proxy problem either.
I am able to install .apk files with android manager, but I first need the downloadable file.
Thanks,
george
i dont think so, but no worries, im sure by the time youll get a chance to install, there will be a downloadable file, if your phone has 5g you can probably download it directly to your phone.
You don't need to be on the Verizon Wireless network for the update to be able to be installed.
Any data connection, be it GSM/UMTS 2G/2.5G/3G, or WiFi, will suffice. The update process is performed over the TCP/IP stack. In case you want to get it over cellular data, you need to remember that the update is about 105MB in size.
About proxies: there are a few applications available on the market that allow you to set Android's proxy configuration, though I am not sure if these settings affect anything besides the web browser.

I'm in the Florida Keys at the moment. Nothing available here yet. I think I'll go for a swim before checking again
The update was released @ 06:15 CET and is going out in groups; grouping is probably done by device MEIDs.
You can go to a Verizon store and ask them to push the update to your handset, though.

Has anyone posted that they have actually gotten the update? It's still not available for me.
Nothing here (yet) in Vancouver Canada
Hmm going to have to SBF my phone when i get home.
I see 'configuration update' show frequently, I never saw this on a previous phone/android version.
It's a Verizon phone, on Verizon. Verizon tech support wasn't very specific about what it is and a search wasn't successful for the answer.
I'm hoping they push an update that fixes the Bluetooth. Very annoying..
Hey guys, I've been nearly driving myself insane trying to find a fix for what seems to be a pretty serious, near-system breaking bug in the most recent Android 11 system update for the Blu View 3 (B140DL)
I had working antenna signal and strength working perfectly fine, after marrying my new SIM card's iccid to my carriers account. After marrying, I was told to reset my network settings, apply system updates (if any) and reboot the device. There was an update, so I proceeded with it, and when my phone was done rebooting, there was an empty antenna signal triangle with an x in it. I've heard about and seen ota updates have bugs in the firmware that cause issues but it's always been with top tier flagship type devices and there's a fix rolled out almost instantly. This being a budget unlocked device, I have had no luck with any kind of information about possible fixes or any being released; hell, I can't seem to find if anybody else has experienced this problem with the specific update on this build or not anywhere on the internet, and this update is from January of this year. I am going to post the build and specific software update that caused the radio firmware to not work, so hopefully that helps. I'm hoping that maybe there's a fix for this that doesn't involve reflashing the official firmware (can't seem to find the stock firmware for this device at all) and I'm humbly asking for any help or advice that anyone is willing to share with me. I'm having to resort to using text now & voice over WiFi with no access to my carriers services. Thank you in advance!
P.S. I also put a screenshot with the current kernel and baseband as well, because I'm not sure if either of those got updated during the last system update.
There is now firmware available. I'd try flashing stock
Dial *#*#info#*#* which will open up a menu to change radio from 3g to LTE only, and others, try them.
Also is your apn set?
