All Discussions regarding the OTA update (Sprint re-released the update - 6/29)

I noticed this right away. I also thought my battery was getting killed, and it may be, but my test will be tonight. I will leave gtalk running in the background (but signed out and all that, if I kill it entirely, gmail won't push) and see what I lose in battery overnight. Last night, with wifi, gps and everything on, I lost 1% in 6 hours while I was sleeping. That was my best to date, usually it's 3-5%. Anything much more than that and I'll know this is screwing with my battery.

I can't speak for when it's on yet. I think this update has everyone all flustered and thus constantly checking their phones, thereby draining the battery faster than usual.

well i have been checking my phone for hrs now, and its not coming on. but i do have the stupid amazon mp3 start up

Just saw that Gtalk is indeed running but killing it resulted in my email not being pushed through automatically.. I have signed out and it's set to not sign in automatically, hopefully this lets me have decent battery life while also giving me my email.

Be patient, mine rebooted 4 times and just sat on the update screen with no indicator twice after the 1st couple of times then rebooted itself and worked without me touching it.

Took at least 10 minutes.

I know, i thought my Evo got jacked up when i saw it do all this stuff, rebooting like 5 or 10 times. (specially when it took forever to pass the 4G logo on the first boot after the update)..lol

Also not to mention the 4G logo screen will stay there for a while. Plan to take up to 25 minutes people. Don't reboot unless you're told to or you go upwards of 25 minutes.

Yeah, I thought mine was bricked it wouldn't do anything and just sat there, it rebooted once and did the update, then once with a second indicator bar... then twice doing nothing and just sat there unresponsive.

This is the first phone I haven't wanted to up and swap roms, reload stuff on etc its been perfect since day one I didn't want it to ruin it!

So I downloaded the update and my phone has just been sitting here for 6 minutes. Is it working, or do I need to kick it off?

The whole process is about 15 minutes. You'll see 4 screens. Two rom loading screens, one with a progress bar one without, the HTC bootup screen, and the 4G bootup screen.

i know someone that bricked theirs because it prompted hm to update twice. first went well, second bricked his phone - won't even let it charge. saw someone else on here that had the same problem. weird that they would even let you update twice. luckily, mine went smooth like butter!
