Got it in Mexico!
I was among the first group to get 2.5, but my partner's Kindle (ordered back in October along with mine) never updated until last night. Now she has 2.5.2. I was hoping my 2.5 might update to 2.5.2 but nada. No problem. BTW--Cristina's Kindle had only the 2.3.3 version before updating automatically to 2.5.2 last night. (We have K2i's)

Totally bummed in San Francisco, have had WN on since 2.5 was announced, just did a full reset, still no update... I really want my custom screensavers too. The dead authors look like skeletons to me when the screen changes back to whichever book I am reading, especially the women.

For those who've never waited for a major update before - it can take days (and days) for it to roll out to everyone. Just before the K2 came out, there was an update for the K1 to add the sync feature & a couple of other things. Even then it took at least a couple of weeks, if not more, for the update to go out over wireless. And there were a lot fewer Kindles out there then than there are now. Eventually (maybe once the majority of Kindle updates have gone out wirelessly) they'll post the update online for downloading. Until then it's a waiting, waiting, waiting game.
And nope, we don't have 2.5 yet in our house.

I don't understand why they don't just put the final update up for manual download.

I never even got the 2.3.3 update for some reason so, my hope for getting 2.5 or 2.5.2 anytime soon aren't great.

Neither did I, nor do I remember reading about doing the update to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 manually. I'll be watching this thread to see if it is necessary to do the update beyond 2.3 manually before 2.5.2 will download and be installable. |

My partner's K2i updated automatically from 2.3 to 2.5.2. All she did was leave the Whispernet on overnight last night.

I'm convinced it won't matter what version (2.3 vs. 2.3.x) one is sitting at. But I wonder if it has anything to do with how old your Kindle is? If not, I'm guessing it's completely random who/when. :: still patient ::  |

I can't discern a pattern to the upgrade distribution. I bought two Kindles (K2i) in October, the day the International version was announced. They arrived together. I registered mine immediately, and registered the second one to my partner a few days later. However, I was among the lucky ones to receive the 2.5 update as soon as it came out, but Cristina didn't get the update (2.5.2) until last night. (We both removed the screensaver hacks at the same time back when the update to 2.5 was announced.) BTW--we're in central Mexico. I wonder if mine will update to 2.5.2??? It seems Amazon works in mysterious ways.

Thank you for this information! I also have 2.3 and was worried I'd be left out because of it. Nice to know that's not the case. |

Schrodinger's Kindle Has it updated? I don't know. . .I haven't checked. . .maybe it has! But maybe it hasn't  I can believe it has until I check. . . . . .and then I might find out it hasn't . . . . . .but I might find out it has! Yep, it's just sitting there having updated . . . . .and. . NOT . . . Schrodinger's Kindle. Actually, mine is at both 2.3.3 and 2.5.2 unless and until I check it and collapse the probablility wave; so as long as I don't check its version, I have the best of both worlds.  |

Possible dumb question here. If I leave the wireless on, will the phantom upgrade still occur if the Kindle is asleep or does it have to be awake (i.e. not on the screensaver) in order to download?
The last update I did manually by downloading it from the Amazon site and I'm guessing that I will do it that way if they ever make it available online, but I was just wondering how the wireless download of it works.

Not quite sure what this is - but I checked to see today if I had gotten the 2.5 upgrade and I saw that my current version was 2.3.3 + ufh 0.3 . I don't remember seeing this before and have no idea what it means - the UFH 0.3 part I mean? Anyone have any thoughts?

It means you have the font hack on your Kindle. If you want the update, you'll have to remove the hack. |
