Froyo probably isn't in the near future because the sense ui is customized for this phone only which probably has it on the back burner
Damn it,i always get screwded with phones first Behold 2 now Slide,thinking bout getting Vibrant since it probably will have good support but than again its Samsung so you never know.

Yes it does because whenever it's released we're going to have to incorporate it into new ROMS. I meant it as a heads up. Also as notice to keep your ears to the ground for when we can get a leak.

No, it doesn't. This is not a post about android development. This is a post about an update to the stock software.
This isn't the "Things kinda sorta related to android development forum".
As a separate note, even if this was the correct forum, it's already been posted:

The real question here is... Will this update get rid of our root?
well if your running a custom rom you wont get the update so you wont lose root. other than that i dunno
hah! to be able to OTA you'd have to have a non rooted phone anyway... once you root, you lose the ability to accept OTAs but if you found a dl and flashed it, you would definitely lose your root... i'd suggest waiting for the devs to release an equivalent rom with the changes (which they will once its received) and flash that instead
My phone is rooted and I recived the update but I haven't installed it

This basically confirms there won't be a T-Mobile Froyo update for the slide. It would make no sense for T-Mobile to release this update, roll it out over a two week period till August 19th, then come out a week later releasing another update. The bug fixes in this release are just minor, nothing that couldn't have waited. And from the leaked T-Mobile road maps, this is the only planned Slide update for the rest of the year. It makes a lot more sense for T-Mobile to be upgrading the newer phones like the Vibrant, and get some of us Slide owners to upgrade as well.
This makes the work of all the devs here on Froyo roms even more important. Don't give up guys! I'm waiting patiently for a stable CM6 release...
You do realize this phone is only, what, two months old? It'll get a 2.2 update, it just won't happen for a while.

Not for the slide
There is no threat to the hd by giving the original mytouch froyo, so that's why the slide users are still waiting

Interesting thought ... I wonder how much Espresso Sense has to do with the delay in development for the Slide. Also, I wonder how much (if any) Sense the original mytouch will get with the update. Additionally, how could a Slide with 2.2 be a threat to the mytouch HD? Features like a front facing camera, no keyboard, second gen 1Ghz chip and larger screen would probably be enough for the HD to hold its own against the Slide with 2.2. That said ... you may be on to something with your theory.

Idk about you, but with the speed of the slide i could do without the 1ghz processor. Slightly larger screen? Not enough to make too big a difference. No keyboard? No thx. Now it comes down the the ffc and 2.2 with sence. That is about the only real thing that could compell me.
Lets just hypothetically say the average slide user thought like me, theres just not enough to push us to drop a few hundred dollars on a new phone after just buying one 6 months ago (if that). If my slide had 2.2 with sence right now, i would be prefectly content to wait till the next mytouch that could really blow the slide out of the water and would laugh at the thought of buying the hd right now.
I honestly see myself holding onto the mytouch for at least another year, especially when 2.2 with sence arrives.

I always thought that having a physical keyboard would be a necessity for me, but since I started using SwiftKey, it's just not a draw any more. I can type much faster with SwiftKey than the real keyboard.
Honestly, I wish I could convince someone to trade their Vibrant for my Slide.

The keyboard really is slower than swype, but i like switching back and forth. Not sure why, just like hard keys sometimes.
That wouldn't mind trading for a vibrant either though lol

No one knows the release date other than google, htc and t-mobile. Everyone is only predicting. I think that we're gonna get the update after the myTouch 4g is released, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah but with the 2.2 update push for the slide starting in 5 days (25th) so the rumor and t-mobile are saying, it would be pointless to port it. By the time anyone did, froyo would be out.

I had read it in a few different threads and some various sites - like I said though, it's a rumor and sadly like all froyo rumors (so far) for the slide this one turned out to be false too
I just got out of a T-Mobile representative that Android 2.2 Froyo is supposed to be pushed to all MyTouch Slides by December 15th of 2010. I always ask this kind of question every time I call T-Mobile, and this time they searched very deep.

No offense to you, but we've heard so many dates, 10 million times about the update and still no froyo. Although, December 15th does sound about right for the update. Especially since the myTouch 4g and G2 are already released. We just have to wait till we get the text messaging stating that our update will be pushed to officially know.

Well, previously, T-Mobile rep's were saying "By years end", and today he did a bit of digging and said for sure by dec. 15. So by how fast they moved the orig. mytouch, froyo should be being released by nov. 15. Seem logical?

interseting, for those of us sticking with the slide because of financial issues (lack of 500$ to buy g2 or mt4g) this is great to hear.
It does sound logical and a better date for it to come. Will be waiting for this to come. I'm sure it will come with all the bloatware just like the original 2.1 espresso but not a biggie we'll have it ported and customized soon after release.

The slide is one of the hardest phones to gain root access. If I had a windows computer it would be much easier. You should search youtube I'm sure there is some step by step videos for rooting the slide on a windows computer.

The mytouch already has froyo. 2.2.1 to be exact. You mean the fender edition & the slide? I forget where I was reading it but the 3.5mm one the slide and the fender are all getting froyo around the same time period. So most likely it'll start with the fender then the 3.5mm then the slide. I could be wrong though

It's quite simple if you guys read the instructions. Took me less than a minute my first time.
First of all let me say I work for Tmo and 2.2 has no date set yet for ANYTHING in the mytouch lineup except the original Mytouch3G as stated previously. (except the mt4g obviously as it comes with it) The MT3G update was moved back to dec 15th for some reason, and NOTHING was announced for any other MT devices yet, period. I don't care what some CC rep told you, it's simply not true.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Highly doubtful.
Epic just upgraded to 2.2, and Vibrant was scheduled last week but got postponed a week. If we were going to see 2.3 instead, then we'd have to wait months...first Samsung would release to International Galaxy S, then give it to all the carriers who then make modifications.
At this point all the carriers have been working on 2.2 so I doubt they would drop doing their work on this to skip over froyo.
i wouldnt be surpised if we skip all updates straight into 3.0 after all not the first time samsung ****ed us(all galaxy s will get 2.2 SHORTY after release).
At this point, I don't have too much hope for 2.2. I've seen in the past with other devices and OS that VZW skip a release or two because it failed their internal testing or something. I wouldn't be surprise if 2.2 was like that

Seems this is becoming a common sentiment. Go figure, right?
It seems as if Verizon is putting all of its eggs in the Motorola basket. They get updates/fixes galore.
I will be furious if the Fascinate goes the way of the Droid Eris (what I JUST upgraded from). Fortunatley, instead of burning an upgrae, I bought off of Craigslist.
maybe we will at least see a 2.3 leak one day!
We're going to get 2.3 eventually.
You guys can't blame Verizon for us not having froyo. If t mobile is so great why don't the vibrant have it? And sprints testing is poopoo, if you read about their new froyo, I don't think anyone is impressed
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah I absolutely love the irony of everyone jumping ship from Verizon when the other devices haven't got Froyo either. When T-Mobile gets Froyo onto the Vibrant we shall see. The Epic is different hardware (different enough that Samsung probably shipped different drivers/RIL). This entire attitude of "verizon sucks" is just laughable at this point.

T-Mo sucks and has the spottiest data coverage of any carrier I have ever used. I can remember driving down the highway, using my Nexus One in the car cradle, and having to wait for Google Maps to load up my current location because the buffered map areas couldn't keep up since the data connection kept going up and down. I could get across the city so quick on the highway that the network could not seemlessly handle me moving across the network so fast. Verizon has been a breath of fresh air compared to T-Mo, and the only thing I miss is the control I had with my Nexus One. That said, the screen on this phone is nice and is really the top of the class. We will get 2.2 soon enough, and with the proper foundation, I would think creating 2.3 ROMs will be an easy prospect.
