This morning when I woke up to look at the time on my myTouch Slide I had a pop up saying there was a software update available so of course I downloaded it. After the download and install the phone rebooted and I received another pop up that said "Install complete. Thank you for choosing T-Mobile" does anyone know what the software update was for? I haven't noticed anything different.
Did you have the beta firmware or do you have the production firmware?
slide update
The update was the full release that will be on the phones for sale. Officially it was to improve performance and just the final build. Because it was the official final build you should now see more apps available in the market that are made for 2.1 and above.
FULL FLASH in your browser! That was a nice surprise that nobody mentioned...
nothing else major comes to mind. They may have added some htc sense widgets but Im not sure if I just missed them the first few days I had the phone..
mine didnt work

Wait a minute...you've got the MyTouch Slide ahead of release? And it has Flash?! Way to go TMo. I know a bunch of people are underwhelmed by this phone because it's not a Snapdragon, but TMo is targeting this phone for the mainstream. If it runs smooth, I may just snap it up. But I'm curious about "Project Emerald."
who needs a snapdragon
My coworker has a Nexus and we run a lot of comparisons between my slide and his (n1). (we both work for Tmo)
-faster downloads according to speedtest.net app on MyTouch Slide
-better screen touch sensitivity on MyTouch Slide
-led camera flashligh apps for MyTouch Slide (only on Nexus if you root)
I personally feel the keyboard is pointless because swype and the android keyboard work so well... I would rather have a thinner phone.. but its still work buying. After a week or so I love the phone.
Camera quality is great! Not every photo will be the best because it is still a phone... but I have taken some really great quality photos.
I do not even see the point in rooting this phone with all the available features.. Froyo (android 2.2) will be available for this phone sometime this year which will add wireless tethering and hot spots..

A rooted phone is always faster than its stock counter-part, a stock G1 is much faster than a stock one...Even if both are on diff firmware.For ex donut roms for it pretty much superior in every way. A rooted MTS will be even faster, esp when various optimizations are applied to the stock ROM. A iPhone is fast but a jailbroken one is just better. Plus a rooted phone will allow you to really make your phone yours.

I understand and have seen this hands on.. however.. how about all of the benchmark results with froyo and the new jit component.... they are blowing the doors off of previous roms, stock and modded i assume.. I havent read into this heavily so I hate to be missing something... but this was my point about why bother rooting when froyo should be achieving these peak speeds that were previously only achievable through rooting..
If a dev can beat froyos speeds, while providing full functionality and then some.. then sure I am game.. but perhaps android is finally reaching its full potential and maximizing its hardware.. and all of these developers can start spending their time on making better widgets! (one can dream)

Come on t-mo will block tethering... we didnt alow it before why would we now because of froyo, come on use your head... I could be wrong but think of it like this...
webconnects 24.99-49.99/monthly
or
tethering FREE
-What do you think a provider will allow?
So root is very necessary every time when you buy a phone from a carrier... its their phone and.... root = your phone!

Blackberry and win mo phones ( HD 2) tether with t mobile and are not blocked... A very very low percentage of customers even understand what tethering is... So yes tmo would rather sell web connect... But no they do not currently block the phones they currently sell with tethering... Of course tech support will definitely not help you with it.

I was told by two employees (one was a manager) that the MyTouch Slide would be the first phone that allowed tethering. The phone I looked at had easytether installed on it so that is why I asked.
They may just be saying that because easytether was on the market. Most of the rep's I have talked to have been a little loose on details with me (LIKE THE PRICE!!!).
That won't get froyo 2.2 for a long time. May be even a year

The whole Mytouch line getting Froyo Pretty soon T-mobile legit news.

Check out the link even has a pamphlet.
http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/06/10/android-2-2-coming-to-the-full-mytouch-3g-range/
Bunch of **** teases thats all they are
"A modified version of the Faves Gallery"......oh joy, now everyone can 'enjoy' that stellar feature!
well, I have heard that it would have Froyo before launch date, that didn't happen. I heard it would be this week (with one day left is possible but not probable). I just saw in another post it would be next week (don't hold your breath). Some reports say by the end of the year. I am inclined to believe it will happen but we will not know when until we get it all of a sudden. Just my thoughts.

T-Mobile training was today in store for managers... froyo for mt3g and slide will start rolling out next week.... just fyi
hopefully with an updated sms app, So the normal mytouch is going to get all the sense crap too?

"No phone left behind no matter how long we make the Cliq guys wait! Oh... and let's just brush the Behold under the carpet and hope nobody notices that one."
This is likely what the big June 19th event was all about.
They say that is a Father's Day special on tmonews.com. Free phone with a family plan or something. I hope its really a froyo update. Either way if we get root soon... we can update now. well, when its ported. and with sense ui, that will be no easy task. Of course, they could port the desire rom.
I wonder how they could roll out FroYo for us next week when the Nexus doesn't even have it's OTA yet?
Unless Google is purposely waiting to do the OTA on the Nexus at the same time as the MyTouch line? Trying to even the playing field a bit?

Google has to mod the 2.2 AOSP code just like everyone else does for their devices. All the OHA members are privy to the latest code equally.
The reason the nexus got an update so far ahead last time appears to be that other other companies didn't appear to care about updating the phones. Now that they have google pushing updates so quickly to their own phone, they are making other phones look lame by having to wait so long for updates.

Interesting theory. I guess there could be several theories behind it as well. I'll play devil's advocate here and say that maybe now, Google has decided not to update the Nexus as quickly either to allow the other devices to catch up, or because they simply don't care anymore (since they aren't selling it directly anymore).
Thoughts?
why would t-mobile open at 8am for an android update?.........
All I have to say is, froyo is going to rock on this slide.
as long as the bloatware they put in the slide will be gone... hate all the crap... >.< want root so i can get rid of the stupid programs that are useless!
Yeah apps2sd and tether will be nice for an unrooted phone. I think it is a little odd that the tmo stuff cannot be removed seeing as this phone is supposed to be "100% you" ...

Hahahha! Exactly what I was thinking... yeah, It should have been removable. I got about 20MB by using factory data reset. All it did was erase some wallpapers and other minor, useless crap. I cant wait until the devs root this baby. Ive got like 20mb left on internal storage. sucks...
I would bet we dont see froyo unitl late summer or fall. HTC has to update sense ui for froyo, plus then the wait on tmobile. I would guess that the MT3G will get a froyo ota before we do.
Oh God... I just had a SCARY thought! What if tmobile doesnt include A2SD on their version of 2.2?! They sure did screw us on the live wallpapers for 2.1 on the MTS. Maybe that was just because of the sense ui. I mean it does animate the weather as a live wallpaper, sort of...

9/16/2010
Update Method:
Available OTA + Retail + OEM Tool
Version History:
* Includes Media Hub application from Samsung, various EAS related issues, and other performance enhancements.
I know it's not incredibly specific but I thought I'd share it either way.
All this info is from another site from a guy

I really don't care about performance. The epic already screams. What I want is for them to fix the gps/3g/battery/tws megabug.
Also, I dont want mediahub, I want the samsung apps from the other galaxy s phones, like the media player and clock.

Well the site is up. But the Download Center for the Epic is down.
I just got the update as automatic OTA.
The only things I noticed were:
My speeds picked up:
3g: went from .8mbs to 1.4mbs. upload still 155kbs.
4g: went from 1.2mbs to 1.8mbs. .47 upload (don't get good reception where I'm at).
Media Hub is online.
Back button was not fixed. FYI: salesman said the update would take care of it. I pretty much told him I'd be in to swap out after the update if (when) the update didn't fix the button.

Um. I just check and I don't have anything available. :S
I *might* have suggested it to my phone
I don't know if this caused my phone to check but I followed Sprints instructions to go to Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> System Update -> Update Android. It said the system is up to date. I also tried "Update Firmware" and got the same message. About 2 minutes later, the OTA message popped up on its own.

I got it already, it wouldn't work with the andromeda kernel installed. I ended up flashing back to stock because I broke the phone trying to flash the stock kernel. I can't say if the root had anything to do with it or not, but the kernel definately did. It's installed now and all is good.

The back button issue is a hardware issue. The capacitive buttons work by detecting a change in charge on the screen. I believe the sensors in the corners might be defective in these phones.
Return it and get another one..
The first phone I went to purchase had this problem.. It sucked. Second phone I bought from Best Buy works flawlessly..
Get a new phone and your problems will go away.
No brainer for me really, unless something truly revolutionary comes out of MWC (and you never know, HTC hasn't announced anything Tegra based yet and I am sure they will) then this is the phone that will finally make me ditch my Hero.
Anyone else as impressed as I was (and more importantly still impressed now the dust has settled?)
EDIT: Obviously I will be plumping for the 3G GSM version as our useless networks can't even do 3G coverage properly, let alone 4G
If it is released on vodafone UK then yeah if not no all the other networks suck. I'll just stick with my galaxy s.
I really like the look of it, butI am dubiuos to how good the webtop will be. What would be interesting if, we managed to pehaps mod it to be more of a full version of linux, pehaps ubuntu with a terminal
Think im still going to wait and see what samsung has up its sleeve with the next galaxy s, but i doubt its going to be released as quickly as the atrix so i might just jump ship to moto. Im sick of the stuttering/lag on my captivate.

You can put a check by my name, im getting one xD.
One question i have one of the old 5gb data plans, if i use an upgrade to get this phone will they force me to change my data plan?
I'd love to get one, but I'm on Sprint. To be honest, I think this is the best Android phone out there right now
If the price is reasonable and HTC doesn't come up with something similarly amazing in the mean time i'm certain to get one.
There's several things that give me pause about buying this phone.
1) AT&T. The probability of getting Android system updates seems low.
2) Motoblur. Hate it.
3) Locked bootloader.

T-Mobile support confirmed that there have been alot of complaints regarding sluggish phones after updating to OS 2.2.1. They said that they are offering to exchange myTouch 3G phones with the LG Optimus-T phone due to the problems caused by the update. I checked the specs on each phone and they are quite similar; the LG's processor is a bit faster. Has anyone tried the LG Optimus-T? I'm gonna go to the T-Mobile store to test it out, but I figured I'd check out all your opinions before I make a decision.
Thanks,

optimus is way faster. it feels better in the hand too. and it can run lwp smoothly without lags

I tried out the Optimus-T at the T-Mobile store; the extra 80Mhz of processor really makes a drastic difference! I'm definitely gonna swap the myTouch for an Optimus-T. The one thing that I wasn't able to test out at the store was the built-in microphone. I'm a musician and I use the mic alot to record guitar riffs if I think I'm going to forget them. I tried out a couple different smart phones before I went with the myTouch and the mics on some of the other phones were terrible. Anyone have any comments on the quality of the Optimus-T's mic? When it comes down to it, I really don't have any option but to swap phones; 2.2 drools on the myTouch.

Easy day. Download this file and rename it sappimg.zip (not sappimg.zip.zip)(To make sure go to Start->Control Panel->Folder Options->View Tab-> Uncheck "Hide known file extensions"). Then download this file and rename it to update.zip. Next, put them both on the root of your SD card. Boot into hboot (volume down+power) and the phone will pickup the SAPPIMG on it's own and do a file check. When prompted, hit the trackball to continue, it'll run the updates, then hit the trackball again to reboot. When you get to the activation screen, turn the phone off. Power on holding (home+power) which will get you to a screen showing a triangle with an exclamation point and a phone. Hit (home+power) again to bring up the recovery menu. Select the "wipe data/factory reset" option, then select "apply update.zip from SD card". Let it do it's thing and sit until your back at the activation screen. I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

What does this do to the phone? Will it void the warranty?
No, everything is stock. Your basically downgrading back to Android 1.6 and then reapplying the update, but doing it properly. The update should have included a script that would clean up the phones cache, but it apparently doesn't which is the root of the sluggish phone. I had the same issue until doing what I told you to do. Of course, I've been rooting/ROMing/theming my phone for 6 months, so I kind of figured that was the problem. Also to note, doing a factory reset after applying the update just doesn't seem to be cutting it. With my method, you'll come to the update as clean as possible.

[Q] Mytouch 1.2 trade in?
So I've been hearing that tmobile is offering a phone trade in for devices bricked by the ota update. It seems that the replacement for the mytouch 1.2 is the optimus t. The fender edition receives a vibrant.Is this the same as the optimus GT540? And is it worth manually bricking my phone to get it? And since the fender is switched for a much better phone, would it be possible to get that instead of the optimus? Please let me know.
Edit: Yes I did read the other thread about this, but that one moved off topic.

The Optimus T is also the Optimus One P500. You won't be able to get the Vibrant, even if you offer to pay the difference, I tried. Maybe if your persistant enough and get a nice CS Rep you may be able to weasle one out. Either way, your getting a better phone.

So you're saying I could pretend it was a fender to get the vibrant? Because I know the ship you the phone first, before requiring you to send it back. And will they let me trade in for lagginess, or do I manually have to flash the wrong update?

Vibrant is out unless you find a CS that's just really nice or you annoy them to the point they'll do anything to shut you up. Their going to base the swap out off of what device your account has on it. So if your account says you have a regular 1.2 then your getting the Optimus. Unless, like I said, pigs start flying and cows start pooping fossil fuel. From what I've read they're doing it for lag as well but only after you go through the facade of them having you do a factory reset from recovery and waiting a day or so.

Note that I can manipulate these people well. I bricked two mytouches trying to get root(before androot existed), and ive gotten mine replaced every time. I'll try and keep you posted.

The exact same thing happened to me but in my case, i bricked three phones and this is my forth one that i am using now. Pissed off one of the reps, he said i cleaned out their stock. Hhaha

Does this apply to the original my touch 3g? If so I would like something different than this phone. I am happy with it if not but if I can get a new phone because of the OTA update I am all for it.
