I am sure this has been asked a million times but is there any difference between the 2 file sizes on the updates? Is one better than the other?

Yes, it has, and here's probably the best answer anyone can really give at the moment.

Finally gave in and manually updated with the smaller file. Still trying to figure out everything that changed.

I really don't know much about what that quadrant app does but my phone went from 300 something to 820 after the update. It's not rooted or anything. Still don't know what that means but I assume its faster.

so can I assume I will be receiving the OTA tonight or was the 18th never a solid date in the first place.

Much. Changing apps will be much quicker for you now, as will most things that require intensive CPU work.

It was solid, but it's changed. There's no guarantee you'll get the OTA as some people will have to go into the store to get it done manually anyway.

Where did that info come from, that some will never get the ota?? Must have missed it.

No, it won't mess up your warranty.

Take a look at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ircus-continues-frg01b-official-get-here.html especially towards the end. Nice information there.

I bit the bullet and did the manual update about 2 hours ago. From moving the update to my sd card to complete bootup took about 6 minutes.

 

[c1im8er]

Big file?

Sure. The preferred file for manual updating is this one --

And the instructions are included here --

Is this the big (complete) non-upgrade fresh-install rom that turns my phone into a flying car and a steam powered tricycle with phone capabilities?

Some phones will be left out. It's the law of averages; there's always some margin of error, however small. The majority of phones left out of an update will be amongst people who don't know/care that there's an update, so they go unnoticed. However, out of 100,000 members, the odd are that at least one will be left out.

No, sorry. It just gives you a rocket pack, small nuclear reactor, and free cookies. Maybe next time, but I'm told that's the free ray gun and holographic keyboard.

Hi. Got my update yesterday, I'm in CT. Things look diff, but OK except my gmail calendor is gray. It no longer shows my events unless I go to the 7week view. Can't find a fix or thread discussing it!

 

[gspmmafan]

The small update file I did manually today seems a little laggy. Will redoing the update with the large file speed this up? Can I re do it with the large file? And where can I find the large file?

 

[furbearingmammal]

Don't say you weren't warned.

Yes, it should speed things up, but you need to let your phone sync up for about an hour before it really settles in. Yes, you can do it with the larger file.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ircus-continues-frg01b-official-get-here.html You can get the file in the OP.

Good luck and let us know if you have any issues or questions. The install method is the same as before.

I'm still waiting :icon_evil:

I could try to install manually....but why should I HAVE to? Big Red needs to get better organized!

Besides, I'm scared I might brick my phone (although I had a custom ROM on my WM phone-but I was comfortable working with Windows both mobile and PC).

I'm not usually a hater, but seeing everyone else getting it.....I feel like the kid who is picked last on the school yard.

 

[JePiNaY]

I've a question. I remember reading about Swype on the 2.2. I want to check that out, but how do I begin to use it?

You don't have to. You also don't have to wait if you don't choose to.

It's virtually impossible to brick your phone installing these files. The failsafes involved are incredible, but a messed up install could happen. This does not mean you bricked it -- and it doesn't mean it won't happen when VZW pushes the update to your phone. In either case, either fix it or get it replaced. You will have support from many people here, willing to help talk you through the install if you need help. You will also have many people backing you up if you choose not to install it.

Either way, good luck.
