Coming G2 OTA brings Wi-Fi calling/tethering

David over at TMoNews has proof of the timing of an expected pending update for HTC’s QWERTY slider, the G2. The screenshot, of Magenta’s internal system, indicates that an over-the-air update will be rolling out to the HSPA+ gadget from November 3rd through November 8th. Included are Wi-Fi calling and tethering support, though reps are discouraged from actively discussing this feature with customers for the time being.

Looks like the flag is about to rise on Magenta’s 4G keyboard slingin’ flagship.

I got the update on my g2 this morning. Wifi calling is working, and even mobile hotspot is working!

I just got my first Android phone about three weeks ago. Now will the update just come to my G2 automatically or do I need to initiate the process myself?

You will ge a notification automatically

OTA = Over ther AIR , automatically. Just sit back enjoy the ride and wait for an update.

hopefully that fixes the random reboots? i returned my g2 and still on the fence whether i want to get another one. Kind of iffy on doing so due to all the problems such as random reboots, paint discoloration, home search keys craping out. I owned it for a week longterm durability seems like it might be an issue. Wondering whether i want to jump ship and go towards bb 9780 untill the right android phone comes along?

Hope this same update comes to Vibrant owners.. oh wait - No 2.2 = no tethering.
