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 way it seems to work for me is that WHEN the kindle puts itself to sleep (not if I've put it to sleep) it updates. So I would leave it on and let it put itself to sleep. |

Here in VA...and no update yet. I had to manually update to 2.3.3 as it never was downloaded wirelessly. Keep thinking that I will need to do that again to get 2.5.2! My WN has been on most of the time since the announcement of this update. My K2 was bought 10/09 (just before they went all K2i). Oh, well........

Just got the 2.5.2 update today (sorry guys!), and am busily organizing my books into collections, but I have a question...I'm trying to put my magazine/blog subscriptions into one collection, but I can't seem to do it. Anyone know if this is possible?

It'll come. I kinda like seeing which regions are getting it. Tracking it passes the time.  Mike |

Dang, I'm in Texas but don't have it yet.  In answer to docmama, I don't know for sure -- since I don't have it yet -- but I thought I remembered reading from the original 2.5 version that subscriptions and documents couldn't be put into Collections. Won't swear to it, though, and I'm a little surprised they wouldn't have included that in a tweak to 2.5.2. |

I'm in Texas and nothing yet. Of course, I had to manually update to 2.3 and I haven't ever gotten the 2.3.3 update, so I don't have much hope.  |

Maybe. Maybe not. We won't know for sure until someone who does not have the 2.3.3 update verifies that the 2.5 update succeeded or failed. If you want to upgrade manually to 2.3.3, You need to download the correct file for your Kindle (should take just a few seconds to download if you have a fast connection): Thanks to Verena, I just was able to update both my k2 and my dx to 2.3.3 or something like that. Now I will wait for 2.5.2. But I am a happy camper to have successfully manually updated my kindles. Makes me feel like a techie. PAULA ny Kindle (U.S. Wireless)Kindle (Global Wireless)Kindle DX (U.S. Wireless)Kindle DX (Global Wireless)When you have the file, plug your Kindle into your PC/Mac via the USB cable. Drag and drop the file you downloaded onto the Kindle (Drop it right onto the Kindle, do not put in any of the subfolders). Then eject your Kindle from your PC/Mac. Do the following on your Kindle: Click Home Click Menu Choose Settings Click Menu Choose Update Your Kindle It'll take a minute or so to update. I will merge this thread with another one about the update. |

I have the hacks on, so it's been captured. Let me get it uploaded.
This is NOT a recovered file.

Hey, I'm new here. I have a k2i 2.3.3 (manually updated) and still nothing yet. I'm in Arkansas and just got my Kindle a few weeks ago. Um, I have a .bin file for the k2i. I have 2.3.4
I have the hacks on, so it's been captured. Let me get it uploaded.
This is NOT a recovered file.
This would be great! I'm sure everyone is really excited right now. |

I got the 2.5.2 upgrade today. I have to say it's not as big a deal as I thought it would be. The password feature is nice. But the categories not worth all the hype (and I have 300+ books).
But the wait isn't over yet...when are screensavers coming?!?!? :-)

Hook Kindle up to computer., Drag update file into the root directiry of Kindle (you DON'T want to put it in any folders) unplug Kindle go to home>menu>setting>update your Kinde (shouldn't be greyed out) then click yes an you should be good to go. |
