Kellen

It’s not often that you get to merge personal passions into a professional life, but that’s what Kellen did when he launched Droid Life in 2009. After working years of unsatisfying jobs in the medical and property management fields, he took a risk to try and create an online community while playing with the coolest gadgets on the planet each day, a risk that has turned out to be incredibly rewarding. Outside of Droid Life, Kellen is your typical Portlander who drinks way too much good beer, complains often about the Trail Blazers, and can be found out on the streets for a run, rain or shine.

  • I just got this email today and have never taken the update, I'm still running CyanogenMod 5.0.5.4.

  • I got the same confirmation meal . I did manual update when it came out first but never got OTA update notification

  • Got the official notification for 2.1 and downloaded it. When I tried to use Gallery I got the message “application not installed on your machine.” Did this happen to anyone else?

  • I did the manual upgrade and received my email about twenty minutes ago

    • You need to ping on Adobe, not google or Verizon etc. Adobe has a history of marching to their own drummer and really do not care how much you would like to have it now. Whatever 'it” you are wanting from them.

  • I just got the email thanking me for updating to 2.1. Im still rooted and running cyanogen 5.0.5.7. do they just check your phone for 2.1?

    • That was what I was pointing out, they are sending the “Thanks for Upgrading” e-mail to everyone hey pushed the update to. The update apparently does not return a success or fail flag to Verizon. Verizon does not know if you are updated to 2.1 or not or are rooted or not.

  • Got my email today! BTW, this is the most interesting and exciting forum on the Droid out there! Love it!!! Thanks.

  • Just received the e-mail from Verizon regarding the 2.1 update, whee! Of course I am still running DroidMod 1.0 and just clicked “Install Now” and then rebooted the phone when I received the OTA upgrade notification. This answers the question as to whether the 2.1 update returned a success or fail flag back to Verizon.

  • My 100th comment!!! Do I get a special prize?

    I did the manual install of 2.1, hated it, reverted back to stock 2.0.1 and during the whole process of rooting I kept getting the 2.1 update notice and just clicked on “install later”. now that I have ultimate droid installed those notices have gone away…I'm assuming I won't be getting the email since I never accepted the update.

    TGIF

  • Got my notification this morning from Verizon. I just ordered a new Droid for my wife yesterday (yay!) and I thought it was regarding that, so I didn't even read it. Turns out, it was for my phone…

  • Strange… I got the email even though I'm rooted, running 2.1 (ultimate droid) and never got the ota notification. Either they're assuming or they “looked” at my phone without me knowing.

    • same here, running CM 5057 from 5053 installed the same day Kellex's vid came out (a month ago?!?). no ota notification, just a thank you email… so they got their feedback aight!

  • I got that this morning – kinda of surprised since I did the update manually

  • No, but I did receive a text about downloading Skype. I'm assuming everyone else did…

    • I've tried a number of them, and if forced to use one it would be the Body Glove case. It's very bulky, but to me it “feels” the best. After posting a similar question couple of months ago, (and hearing the responses) I decided to go “naked.” I've actually found that the best case is the one Motorola puts on at the factory. 🙂

      • did the same thing..tried several cases and decided that “naked” was the best way to go. I encourage everyone to go naked.

        • I have been naked since day one… a nasty little fall from the arm of the couch to tile flooring put a nice crack across my screen. Landed face flat on the screen, no marks on the case. Crack goes across the middle of the screen from edge to edge. I will have protection when I get my replacement! Not looking forward to rooting with the .sfb files thought. But oh well, the things we do for the one's we love! 😉

        • I went naked. Then I forgot to properly lock my Droid down in the mount on the handlebars of my bike. It decided to jump out and land face-first in the middle of a busy road. Now I have lovely gouges – deep ones – in the aluminum edge all around the screen.

          Seido Innocase it is then, being the thinnest, lightest one. Otherwise I stare at the gouges and obsess over them.

          *sigh* I miss my naked Droid. 🙂

    • I recently got the SEIDO Hard Case for the Droid…I hate cases because they are so bulky and never fit right, but when I dropped my first one and put a nice dent in the corner I realized it was time for a case. I did get a replacement one because I had “WIFI Problems” wink wink. I picked the case up on Amazon for about $22 and it ships free.

  • Can we infer from this that there are about 1.6 million Droids in action? (200K/day for 8 days)
