Hi everyone, first time posting!
I just received a notification that T-Mobile has an update for my Vibrant. Did anyone else get this? Could this be the GPS fix everyone's been talking about? I'm installing it right now!
I tried to manually update it but I got the same old message "no firmware! "
It didn't end up going so great... It hanged on the Vibrant screen after the update. Doing a nandroid restore right now.
Lol. Really?
My first post so here it goes.
I just finished downloading the update and its not 2.2. I have noticed a few slight changes though. First being that websites seem to open faster and scroll smoother, it could just be me though. The menu that is brought up when you are using the browser is different and has a brightness control on it.
There is a new HD camcorder application and a task manager application. I have only had it running for a couple minutes. In not sure if there is a gps fix cause I'm in my basement so it its rare for me to get any signal down here.
I also just found out youtube videos have a HQ button on them now.
Just checked with mine and I get the "no firmware" as well.
looks like JI6 then?
So how do theses OTA updates work? Does everyone get it at the same time or does it update few people at a time? Anyone know?
Will I get any update if my phone is rooted and has lag fix installed?

Usually a message pops up at the top in your notification bar that an update is available

Yes the build number says ECLAIR.UVJI6
http://twitter.com/TMobile/status/26614716117 I think this is evidence enough....
it kinda makes sense that t mobile would begin pushing updates today. They were supposed to announce this week (which would mean today or tomorrow) when they were gonna be releasing updates.

This seems legit. People on both Android Forums and T-Mobile Forums are reporting the update. Can't be a troll
I'm already on JI6 so it's all good!
GPS has been OK with this version, over WiFi it's really not going to work well for some reason. Jumps around all over the place.
Tracking has been reliable overall. Using it with the Root Wireless app to track my network coverage it was very quick to lock in.
Samsung posted this on Facebook as well.
The Gallery is still problematic.
Reception has been EXCELLENT, overall if this is what we would have gotten back in July people would have been much happier.
How long does it take to roll out to the majority of the masses?

If someone uploads the file of the update online, can we manually install it without rooting?
I call bluff. Why is it always a new user first post that happens to get it. No one else either but you when the forum is waiting eagerly. Could be possible, but for now I call shananigins..

I saw the tweet from Samsung about it being officially rolled out for the Vibrant... but does that mean T-Mobile has already started rolling it out?
Is there a changelog for JI6?

Good post rhcp. So many people installed the OTA but no one willing to share the build? come on people
Someone who has installed the OTA JI6.
Please post your build.prop from /system/ so we know if the leak is diff from the OTA.
Very simple to do.
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Then post it here. or on paste bin.
Thanks!

Thats great info you posted. But, it does not tell us if the leak we all installed/running roms off of is the REAL JI6 or its just a PRE-leak version with the bugs still there.
Hence, why i want a build.prop so we can compare build dates.
Come on people

Maybe the official update bricked everyone's phone...
So, you're telling me out of all the members on this forum.
I saw at least 10+ people say they got the OTA upgrade. Not one person can post a build.prop so we can all know if we are running the real or something broken?
Come on people!

I did that this morning.I'm still waiting.lol
I hope either the leaked one is it or someone posts a zip cause I can't wait for3 weeks.lol
if i had it...i would put the info up here. i'm currently running the leaked JI6. so... hope it turns out to be the same. BTW...
does anyone else hate it when they put lines like "...over 40 bug fixes and UI updates". i'd kinda like to see the specifics. just a quirk of mine.

its just like when JI5 was leaked. It took 78 pages just for someone to post the temp file that KIES downloaded
I am starting to wonder if this update is the same build as the leaked JI6. There are 2 apps that I can't find in the market but I can see them stock. I can see them on Appbrain but when I go to install it the phone just says download unsuccessful. Same thing happened on JI5.
One app is Fandango Movies. Can someone with the official OTA check and see if you can see it in the market?
Thanks.
Yea i also went all stock this morning and waiting.
Another thing with leaked JI6 is 5.1 was broken
does anyone know if i need to have a data plan to receive the update? or notice of the update? i currently don't have a data plan.

You probably wont get it. I never got one on my nexus when used as prepaid

someone will eventually post zip file
I am not seeing any real info on the OTA update. I got it this afternoon. I have noticed so far
- Wifi calling
- Hotspot capability
- Can now update Goggles
Really? I haven't heard anything!!!

Pictures. Thanks.
What -- another report of this?
That other thread went away...
I'm calling bull. If people started getting them earlier this afternoon we'd see news stories and many more threads on it.
EDIT: maybe not bull... http://theandroidsite.com/2010/10/11/t-mobile-adding-wifi-calling-to-the-g2-via-ota-update/
Really ? Can someone provide instructions on how to upload it. This could be very useful for the root cause. We all called the other guy for trolling. Did a mod delete that thread?

I have anecdotal evidence from other websites claiming to be receiving an OTA update.

Sorry the photos came out bad, but you can see all of the relevant info.

I must admit, I didn't think this was true but after I saw those pics.....I wept.....
How much memory are you showing?
The same. App Monster Pro shows 1.29 GB
Isn't there usually a code to force updates or am I mistaken on this?
You're kidding me... I returned my G2 because I get terrible signal indoors on campus, and I couldn't live without my BB's UMA so I figured I'd wait until it was enabled. The tards on the phone and in the store said it's looking closer to December for the release...
EDIT: Err... that was a useless post. I hope the updates become widespread; I'll definitely rush back to get the phone.
If this is real.... this could be big for getting perm. root available. Either way the tether option is sweet! Did the radio version change anyone? My G2 is off and charging right now... My signal is crap compared with my MTS. Really need a newer radio version.

I'm glad I kept mine. But I had no other choice for an android qwerty.
I don't think this guy is some photoshop wizard... The radio got an update too! YEA!!!!

I was thinking there was but there is a section in "About phone" for system updates. Mine says up to date but I guess thats if you missed your prompt or something...
Sorry for 4 posts in a row but... I'm just excited! Dude, this better be real or I'm fly to Cali and ***** slap you. Ha! Seriously, though.... thanks for the info!

Right but I think there is a USSD code for forcing an actual check for OTA updates that are available.

I am in atlanta and I have not yet got the OTA... Anyone else in that situation. I know i can manualy install it but after reading the main thread and being green when it comes to this phone I'd rather just get the regular update. Is it out of the norm that I havn't received it yet?
Thanks!
like julia child said..... good food takes time. just wait. wait wait.
theyve got a week to roll it out.
doesnt matter where you are, this day and age -- stay off wifi stay on the tmo network and you will get it.
Why is this in the dev section.
Why would anyone care that you don't have the update.

Why is your name Donkey... some questions are best left unanswered...
Some people I guess don't understand what development is. I figured it was straight forward tho. I mean if u have a question it would be posted in the question section. Maybe its not as simple as I thought...

I live right outside the perimeter and I got it yesterday. But I messed up and long story short, ended up manually updating it.
Im from Atlanta.. No update yet.. woah.
If you or a friend are running STOCK or CR_Mod (NOTE: CM6/SlideMeRoot/others do not count!) and you have an update available, post here!
Do you know something we don't?

Just a guess here, but it probably has something to do with the 2.3 SDK that just dropped.

Either that or I'm just excited about it.

Nothing that isn't openly available on the web. Apparently HTC had a newsletter which explicitly stated that Froyo for Slide would be pushed as an OTA by T-Mobile in December. So I made this post to keep myself informed... most people will come here and make a post, which I'll see via email ASAP.
I have a question. for those that are rooted and are using a custom ROM, will an OTA notification even pop up?

Well that's going to depend on which ROM they are using. Something like CR_MOD and Slidemeroot *will* receive the notification to update. Others, like CyanogenMod Rom's will not since they are missing the APN setting and a few other prerequisites for update notifications. I haven't tried but will see if I add the FOTA APN maybe I'll get the notification (unless some one knows that won't work).

That's the thing, the Slidemeroot ROM will receive OTA messages from T-Mobile that are bogus and will unroot your phone. This is why I do not want any Slidemeroot users to post that they have an update available.
well i have CM6.1 on here. But i suppose once the new OTA for froyo comes out, we'll be able to get some true slide Froyo ROMs out, so it won't be a big deal if i can't get the OTA to my phone anyway lol.
unrooted~
I unrooted anticipating Froyo cause all I kept reading was DECEMBER 15th. and well thats only for the MT3G not the slide. Damn misinformed Tmobile reps. putting out bad info that gets spread like wildfire on the web.
So I HTC, got the number from Tmo Rep. Talked to Tech Support there and the update that just went out is only for MyTouch 3G, NOT THE SLIDE. HTC is waiting for TMOBILE to ask for the Update for the slide, which they have NOT. Then HTC makes it and test it, get payment and approval from Tmobile and then get the okay to pust the update to customers. So Tmobile starts the update ball rolling and then has to push it out after HTC/Android is done with it. The information can't be much more official than that. Hope this clears everything up for anyone who can't get proper answers to their questions. Not questions about a phone we don't have.

Recent article from Tmonews:
With news of the myTouch 3G LE and Fender editions prepping to receive their Android 2.2 update, plenty of myTouch Slide customers are left wondering when is their turn. Well the good news it’s being worked on, the bad news is we’re hearing exactly what kind of trouble is delaying the update. Apparently there are two problems holding up the public release:
1) Wi-Fi calling doesn’t work 100% of the time, we’re not sure what that means, if calls are dropping or not starting at all on Wi-Fi but we know it’s holding up release.
2) The OTA update is right now being directed to the wrong partition, which doesn’t have enough memory to process the update.
We received word that HTC is aware of both of these problems and is actively working on a fix. No release date time frame was given but as soon as we hear more, we’ll drop the news right away!
