Has anyone received the FRG830 (2.2.1) update yet?

[therock]

I was one of the early testers and am under the impression the testing is over and the OTA is in progress and we were told to go ahead and post on the public forums. They reported feedback was overwhelmingly positive, particularly around improved responsiveness on the Droid.

Some of the guys are complaining about lag but most are liking it. Not a night and day difference but a bit more perky for me. For instance touch screen is more responsive and the original dial pad was dreadfully a pain for me but it is now faster to respond to the touch.

Lots of difficulties arose in the first hours but we found most of the time to uninstall the app in question and reinstall it fixed it, such as the voice search.

We seem to have more praise for battery life than complaints. Mine is good. There are changes they are not telling us for sure and you may or may not have to clear cache or reinstall apps to smooth it out.

A lot of users reported not seeing a change at all. But most had something to report. Don't be afraid.

With this update like the last update it made my Blueant bluetooth ear bud malfunction. But doing a battery pull and resetting the ear buds fixed them up.

So plan on having to do things like that rather than call Verizon or Motorola.

@greyghost04,

If it doesn't say FRG83D at the bottom of that screen, you don't have it.

What exactly is different about the News and Weather widget? The press release said that it's new, but the screenshot of the new widget someone posted looks exactly the same as the old one.

All I know is the more I restart and such the better just like all the other updates. I did have to jump through hoops to work kinks out of my BT ear buds.

You will have to reinstall Swipe.

I keep getting nagged to do an OTA update but I am rooted and am enjoying the Bugless Beast. Should I try the update? Do I need to unroot first?

Save the update.zip, please, and post it for people who want it. Your custom recovery image will block the install.

And, yet again, Bugless Beast doesn't kill the nag screen. Good information to have.

How do I save it? I got the notification and would gladly post it.

Okay, just sit on that for a bit. I'm going to try to dig something up or at least point someone who might know how here to tell you.

A, that's "old" and B, that's for rooted users only.

Okay....opcorn:

That was for netnathan. But yes, hold on. No point in using old code just to have to update later.

Well I had an update.zip already and after the OTA I had two but one had a bunch of numbers in front of it. So when one comes in does it rename the previous one?

One is 76.9 MB and the other is 1.63MB.

I got it this morning. To be frank, I haven't noticed a difference. I read that there was supposed to be updates to Twitter and the news and weather widget, but everything seems to be the same. So if you don't have it yet, don't sweat it, you're not missing out on anything.

The apps are just the latest versions in the marketplace.

However, please do not say things such as "you're not missing out on anything."

For corporate users who connect to an Exchange 2007 or 2010 server, this update is critically important. It makes the built in mail client work correctly with Exchange. FRG22D renders it pretty much useless. So for these users, without this update, they are missing out on alot.
