Will the OTA process be smooth to upgrade, or potentially glitchy like loading the leaks? Do you have to plug into DM to complete an OTA?
I'm wondering for several friends with storms who waited for the Official release. I assume with 3rd party apps etc, that things can still go wrong right?
I would think you have to backup as part of an OTA, just for safety. Maybe someone that knows the process can explain how it all works, so I can pass it on to my "clients" lol.
if you're installing ota just leave it plugged into a power source and dont be driving or something where you might wind up with no service.
if doing it via computer, the risks are the same as if you were installing a leak. just follow the instructions and manually back everything up for safe measure.
So how does the OTA work? It downloads to the phone, then executes right away, or waits for you to launch?
As I understand it, it is like the DM update, except that it uses the non-volatile memory on the phone to store the temporary backup and whatever other working info it needs to use for the update, whereas the DM update uses files on your PC for this purpose. OTA updates seem real tricky to me, since you are installing a new OS, but there still has to be something on the phone that is executing to do the update.

That would make sense.

It is my understanding that another way it differs is this: the DM update is the entire OS package; the OTA only updates changed code modules. That's why the OTA is so much smaller than the full desktop install.

So is a DM update "better" than an OTA update since its the whole OS package?

I updated my phone to .75 OTA. The first problem I ran into was an "Insufficient memory" error. Can't remember what all I did, but in the end, rebooted the phone and installed OTA. It took a long time as I remember.
Then I updated my wife's phone to .75. For hers I updated through DM, and it went much faster, and no "memory" errors.
