****Official FroYo Rollout Thread-Version2!****

[lovethesinner]

Yeah, I don't think I like my upgrade. I didn't get flash player either. I went to the prerelease website and it just redirects me, syas it's coming soon. Different variation of the same thing I've been seeing for the past year. GRRRRR… Does flash player come already installed on X? Froyo seems so much slower to me, I don't like that I can't kill apps. I found out yesterday that its bad for you phone, but I had comfort in knowing things weren't running when I didn't need them to be. Eh, I'm sure ill get used to it, just really wish I could get Flash.

Everything you talk about has been covered many times in this forum. No, the update does not come with Flash. You shouldn't use a task killer in the first place. If you want flash search the forum it's all over the place. Or just do a google.

Hey Hook, calm down buddy. I know these things have been talked about but I'm not gonna read 108 pages of forums to get answers I need, and guess what, there are gonna be plenty of other people asking the same things I do. I already know you shouldn't run task killer, if you read my post you would have seen that. But Froyo wasn't stopping apps. I tried to download one app yesterday and I got a notification that I was low on memory. Because everything was running! So I re-downloaded TK, it won't close everything but it closes some things and saves me some memory space. I searched the forum and the sites I found for Flash didn't work for my phone IT RE-DIRECTED me. I found another one but I don't know how to remove ".zip" from astro. I'm a novice, which is why I come to this forum. Please don't ruin it for me.

Sniff, I've asked several times: I am in an VZW extended area. Will I get the OTA or do I have to wait until I'm in a 3G area? It is connected to wifi. Thanks

From VZW support page:

System Update while You Are Roaming

1. If you are roaming, you will not receive a system update notice. You will need to enable Wi-Fi and wait for the update notice to appear or as mentioned above you can manually update by selecting "Home" > "Menu" > "Settings" > "About phone" > "System updates".
2. To enable Wi-Fi, go to "Settings" > "Wireless & networks". Press "Wi-Fi" to enable.

Thanks Snoking! WiFi is always enabled and it says I am current but at 2.1. Your answer tells me that I just haven't gotten the push yet so chill out. Thanks again.

OK, I just download Flash from post #9 of this thread to my computer:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/70993-flash-player-10-1-download-droid.html

I installed Astro on my phone.

I copied the downloaded file to my download directory via usb mount.

I openned Astro and openned the Flash file. It said I need to go enable non market apps. I did.

It installed Flash. I installed Adobe Showcase and watched a video on CNET TV. Phone is acting slow now. Will test more.

ON edit: Slowdown issue went away.

AND I AM A NEWBIE to all of this.

Chris

Yesterday I manually update to 2.2 NON-root.

After searching some...I see all kinds of cool Roms and themes that have what 2.2 has and seems faster

I am just learning this stuff..so need some help.

If I have a droid currently running 2.2
...do I have to return to 2.1 or 2.0.1 to root?
...or can I root straight from 2.2?

Can you guys post a link of what I'm asking for?
Thanks

Your tone with hookbill was kinda harsh. He's a cool guy who works hard to help people here. Repeated answers to your questions are all over this thread. Youd only have to read a few pages probably. But glad someone was able to help.

Installing the update right now in Connecticut.

Just got my OTA this morning in SoCal. I feel part of the in crowd now!

 

[JMody]

Just got the OTA pushed to me. Massachusetts.

I posted this question about four days ago and still have not received my update. Do you think my concern in the question is more valid now?

"I have a question about the OTA update. I downloaded the update and manually installed it around Aug 5th. It worked great for about 4 days and then my phone bricked, not sure if the update had anything to do with it, but that not the point. I have since received a replacement droid from verizon running 2.1. Is there a chance that verizon pinged my phone when I had the manual 2.2 loaded, and now my replacement phone won't be pinged for the update? Thanks for any information. "

OTA Rollout continues. Received mine this morning. My wife hasn't gotten hers yet. That's contrary to the 2.1 update.

Just got my update this morning. Nice way to wake up... everything is running smoothly so far

Didn't get the OTA update this morning, so did manual

Worked just fine (although I had the battery drain issue until I did a batter pull). Thanks to the mods and contributors for the easy to follow directions. Now to get my Flash on....
