Ok so I called tmobile today and demanded an exchange because I can't stand the low speed on my phones mb/s download speed, so the rep told me my phone needed a software upgrade because it is running the 1.19.... Build Version, thats in settings> about phone scroll down until u find build version, so yes she todd me the latest was the 1.6 build version and that I could download it from tmo website but can't find the damn thing, can any one please help, what was she talking about, I also asked her why my phone was running last years version if it is a 2010 phone and she said some just come with it, what version is your phone running?
O ih forgot to mention she told me that could be the reason for low download speeds, but I'm confuse as hell!!!
She may have mistaken it for a G1?

No way, she knew it was the G2 I said G2, and when they look at your account they know the phone you have, and I got an exchange if they can't send me a G1 lol, imagine they actually do lmao, but yea I'm gonna figure out what was she talking about she sounded like she knew what she was talking about, she said that may be the problem with low download speeds on hspa+, gucould it be oh well ill figure out when my exchange comes in, damn tmo is the most confusing phone company I ever been with
My interest has been peaked. Does anyone have anything other than 1.19?

If I get my new replacement phone with a 1.19 I'm calling tmo to let me know where was the software update on their website like the rep told me for the G2, ill let yu guys know when I get news on this, I think this may b the reason for the unstable data speeds could be we never know, and if it is true ill give yu guys the link to "update" the G2 that the tmo rep told me, like I said I'm still doubting this tho but we'll see
I've got 1.19 also. Does anyone have a G1 available to check?

The 2 G1's I check don't have a build number. I'm pretty sure that's because they are rooted. Sorry i couldn't help out.
Guessing that 1.6 in this scenario is Donut. The build number for T-mobile in that instance was DRC83 I think.
the G1 build number for 1.6 is DMD64
I spoke, more like argued with a rep yesterday regarding my reboot issue...and since it's a known issues with the phone, they are no longer doing exchanges on the phone.
I said fine so what are you doing about it she told me wait!!!!!!! That they (htc) was addressing the issue, and that as soon it was resolved they would update, but there is no timeline on this update, the first update. According to Rachel the rep, it coukd weeks or months before we get any fixes. In the mean time we are stuck with deffective phones and rreally crappy cust serv.
I called them up to exercise my buyers remorse period...I got the phone on Oct 15, and I called yesterday the 29th...14 days from the day I received it....this nut job had the balls to tell me that BR period had ended on the 28th bcs they count the delivery day as the first.....I'm calling bs on this one

Htc and tmo really making me mad now on this device!, the 1.6 donut was not the case here bcuz 1. donut wasn't last year it was two years ago 2. She told me to tell her the build version, nothing to do with android version, which is 2.2 in the case. But I think she knew what she was talking about so ima just wait for the replacement and ill let yu guys know on this
i got build 1.19 and my speeds are blazing...

it isnt fixing the issue from what I read. AT&T also never mentions a GPS fix.
The more and more time that goes by, the more and more I want a G2 when it comes out honestly. Sumsung really dropped the ball here and its going to leave a bad taste in a lot of people's minds for a long time...

You know what, I think Samsung is 50 percent to Blame. The other 50 percent is T-Mobile. T-MOBILE...simply does not support their phones.
Buying the G2 will be the same damn story. Sure it will come with 2.2, but as soon as 3.0 comes along, every other carrier will have it months before T-Mobile releases it on the G2, and you will cry and complain "the more and more I want Verizon."
I honestly think the problem is T-Mobile, and not so much the handset manufacturers.
tmobile is throwing Samsung under the bus, I got this back from a message I sent to Tmobiles facebook a bit ago..
Robert,
We understand your interest on updates Samsung is working on one and as soon as we have any more information on this we will communicate it.
.. notice they say that Samsung is working on one, I did ask about 2.2 though and not the gps fix.

Honestly, my biggest regret was leaving at&t. I left because I wasn't interested in an iphone, I noticed no good new WM apps were coming along, and I wanted a 3.5 mm headphone jack on my phone. The nexus filled all those needs so when it was released I jumped ship to t-mobile. I found out the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
I still have no idea why people say T-Mobiles customer support is better than AT&T; from everything I've seen it isn't even close.
Someone else posted on here before about T-Mobiles BB getting upgraded to V.5 not too long ago.. they have 6 out or it's close to release. T-Mobile does lack in this "Software/Firmware" Update department. They have some decent phones but don't support them enough.
It's amazing, when the G1 came out, yes it was the first Android phone but updates rolled out pretty quick. I know it was stock "Vanilla" Android but updates were addressed in a timely manor. But now they have the My Touch, My Touch Slide and Cliq series and now the Galaxy S phone.
Wow everyone is a bunch of goddamn vultures here. Waaah I've had my phone a month and a half Samsung and T-Mobile suck I want my updates waaah. People need to realize that updates need to go through a lot of steps. If you don't like your phone return it and get a different one.

So what its perfectly ok for other Galaxy S phones that haven't been out as long as the Vibrant to be getting their updates, but not us? Honestly, I really think it has to do a lot with TMO and not Sammy. Luckily, I've rooted and running a custom ROM and Voodoo fix. I also know that doing that is not for everyone though.
The Captivate came out what like 3 days after the Vibrant? Maybe tmo and Samsung are waiting to see how the update goes on the Captivate. It wont matter anyways we could get it tomorrow and people will still complain that it's not 2.2 or their phone is still not fast enough or some other bullcrap.

Your joking right? First almost 2 1/2 months. Second the others all got a update as mentioned.
All other phones with 1ghz are running froyo, even a hd2 without android has it.lom
I vote we get /b/ to start ****. Maybe then we might get some movement from T-Mo and Samsung... just me? >.>
not that it will do anything to Tmobile but I've decided that whoever gets 2.2 on the Galaxy S device first is who I will be switching to. If its Tmobile then I won't be going anywhere, but if another carrier can get it out before Tmobile see ya.
Tmobile launched this device First int he US there is no reason they should not be the first to release the OS update even if it takes them till November
I do agree that they need to support their phones better. But at least TMO isn't forcing bing down our throats either.
I come from the Blackberry side of the fence and I remember when 5.0 devices were new last year it took forever for TMO to release an update for the 9700, and that original release was filled with bugs. I finally gave up on waiting for them and simply downloaded another carrier's release. Easy to do on that platform.
I like the Vibrant for the most part. Yes it has bugs; yes it's quality needs to be improved. Yes the GPS kind of sucks. But what other high-end phone out there doesn't have issues these days? I'm sure the G2 will have them as well.
Call tmobile, tel them you sammy your update, give them your iemi number, and within 48 hours volla, you got your 2.2 people, now I just hope that we don't get screwed with 2.3....

If your imei gets pushed ahead, and that means you will receive froyo in 48 hours, that would mean froyo is starting today or tomorrow. That's the part I don't believe. Samsung is leaving us with a phone with broken gps, if they won't even make our phones work why would they bother with software? Samsung obviously couldn't care less.
I know samsung sold a donkey load of SGS phones, but I want to know how many of those purchasers have sold it or are otherwise dissatisfied to the point of never buying another samsung phone again. 2 of the 3 SGS owners I know have sold theirs, and the 3rd wants to
For grins & giggles I called our dealer support line and asked about this. Actually spoke with a customer service rep and a supervisor. Neither of them have heard of adding the IMEI to any list to push the FROYO update. The only push they'd heard about was the previous system update.
Of course, like others have said. You can always get someone who just doesn't know what they're talking about, but I'm gonna go with them on this. Now if you get the update and prove me wrong then that's good news for all.
Keep trying though, someday you might get your FROYO without root...
I'll stick with my rooted Vibrant.
Man just root your phone. Its not hard and its not hard to remove if you decide you don't like it.
The Pro's easily out weigh the Con's.

think.
A OTA sometimes bugs and people don't get the update.
So they call t mobile and tell them to push it to your phone. I had to do that before for 2.1.1
But I just them my phone number and they confirmed I had a galaxy s phone so they sent it within 24 hours and I got it.
They actually do this.
I also think there's a reason walmart and samsung websites say 2.2 but its going to be for everyone not just the ones who call
Just try it and say your sorry after, their starting to roll out the update, but just call and have them push it through,i have 30 hours left to receive it, they do have it because I was confirmed by samsung, then I called tmobile to tell them what I was told, so just try it and thats it

hey guys. at&t user here. instead of waiting around for the official OTA update to 2.2 that we've been waiting to see come down the pipes for months with nothing to show for it, i decided to take matters into my own hands. I called up dell and told them my streak was stuck at the boot screen. The nice tech support lady told me run the factory recovery, (i didn't, just keep playing hot pursuit) and i told her there was no change. she immediately set me up for an exchange. So in 3 days (1 day processing, 2 day shipping UPS at no cost to me) i will receive a new streak and hopefully it will come pre-installed with the 2.2 update.
i will let you guys know if my plan works. and if not i'll get a new streak just the same.
and ya i could get 2.2 on there through flashing of 3 different roms but i really don't feel like going through that trouble when they can mail me one with it pre-installed.
cheers
couldnt just do the 2.2 update yourself?
Yeah no ****. Takes all of an hour to flash and reinstall apps. Brilliant

lol... Your not even sure it will be preloaded with 2.2. You'll just be back to square one with waisted time. Why even bother?? Also if it comes with the ATT 2.2, you know you will have all this extra bloatwear hogging up your memory you'll just end up tweakin your streak anyways at the end.

You also may be faced with the issue of it not being "broken". And they might decide to bill you...
Another thing to consider is the fact that you originally ordered an AT&T locked model. They will likely just send another AT&T locked model which I can tell you will still have 1.6 as I just received mine today and it as laden with 1.6.
This tactic is full of assumptions and totally without any precedence that it will work.
Full of Fail.
first of all they send me anew one before i send back my old one. second i don't really feel like wasting time going through the headache of updating a phone's rom 3 times just to get a buggy unofficial version of the rom. i can root the official and get rid of bloatware in a matter of 1 minute. second i get a brand new phone no matter what. no scratches or dings.
i'm not 15 anymore. i have a life and i cant be bothered with doing all these little mods and tweaks and ****. i have a life outside of technology.
umad?
LOL I am not 15, I work 60 hours a week, and play soccer 2 twice a week.
I guess but ur standard I have a lot of time in my hand.
I got the phone 2 weeks ago and run a quadrant test, and wasn't satisfied with it performance. Took me exactly 20 mins to upgrade to did Steve's version. Phone has actually not crashed once yet and its running better than the official 2.2.

Yup. According to the dell website it ships with 2.2 already installed in it. I'll confirm that wednesday when it comes in the mail.
i believe only unlocked devices come with 2.2, all locked devices are still stuck on 1.6 since carriers have yet to release an update for the streak
Last time I was on dells site, just last week, you could order with 2.2 or 1.6 and it is stated that they get 2.2 with ota. There was a slight price difference

Exactly my thoughts which is why I did it myself and will keep doing it when new firmware comes out cos I am sure att will find a way to mess it up. Just waiting for gingerbread
just wondering if there are different versions of hardware out there. Go to settings > about phone > hardware version is at the bottom. I have 2 epics both are D700.0.5 one was bought at launch one was bought a week ago. The 5 friends I have with epics all also have the same. All have also gotten the OTA EB13 and all have issues. My 2 are being replaced by sprint the others wanted to go back to DI18 / viperrom / nebula / supernova.
Also interested in anyone who knows what they are talking about ( i.e. devs or those that understand the code) opinion on why they cant get it right. Is it sammy's fault for not releasing the proprietary source? Is it sprint's fault for crap QA? Has this been answered and I just missed it? Do they really want to sell the SGS2 that bad? Is it a conspricy with the mother brain on epsilon eridani 8 to steal all our shoe laces?
I personally blame the hippies........
Maybe if everyone with a screwed up epic takes it to sprint and has them replace it a bunch of times they will get the message. I know if there is ANY ISSUE TINY OR NOT with my replacements sprint will be replacing them again. and again and again......
On a side note I tried out an evo for a day and it was like going from a blackberry to an old school nokia in comparison with the epic.......
Same version here. Got mine in August 2010.
