T-Mo OTA 2.1 Update

I searched through the forum, but found nothing relevant to my phone/carrier. Anyone heard anything about the 2.1 OTA update from T-Mobile?

There are actuly hundreds of web pages that discuss this so you didnt do to much searching.
The 2.1 Android update will hit between Now and the end of May. Ranging from the NEW mytouch/Fender LE, Cliq, Cliq XD... The old 32b Mytouch will most likely not get a full 2.1... The G1 sure as hell cant handle 2.1, but supposedly a stripped version of 2.0 is being made for it.
Google Tmobile 2.1 ota update.

Can't wait. Stripped version or not.

I agree, it doesn't really matter if it's stripped down or not. It just means there will be driver for the 2.0+ roms... imagine the improvement this will make for the current eris and legend roms.

We need to close this thread. There are DOZENS of threads regarding the 2.1 update. Do we need another?

Wow, looks like no one ever had anything positive to say when you ask a question. Seems arrogance gets the best of "devs" these days. I pride myself in finding the information myself when needed, but according to some I didn't search enough. Now look, it's almost august and no 2.1 for a lot of devices. You could have simply resisted the urge to share your arrogance and just not posted at all. Thanks for truly helping, you are a credit to the human race!

The update got changed from Android 2.1 to 2.2 and it is scheduled to be released sometime in august according to a leaked document from tmobile. Feel free to google it if you like.

I agree with the rest of the guys, just thought I should jump in! You sir, should search.

Alright. That's enough!
I'm going to "jump in" and close this redundant thread.
@OP, NOBODY in this forum knows exactly when or even if the update will be released. Anyone that says otherwise is misleading you. Even if the person has reliable information through reliable sources it is still up to the carrier to release the update and I don't have to tell you how much can change at the last minute thus making those reliable sources unreliable.
If you want any information about future OTA updates contact your provider.
If they don't know then what makes you think that any of us does?

Get Galaxy S Updates from twitter

Not sure about you guys but I only use twitter for news/tech updates.
Since a twitter account doesn't exist for galaxy s updates I figured I would make one.
https://twitter.com/TheGalaxyS
I'll be trying to keep up to date with all the galaxy s news and post updates as often as I can.
The updates I will post will be about application tweaks, firmware updates, rom news, sim unlock etc...
Updates will include all of the galaxy s phones.
Galaxy S I9000, Vibrant, and the Captivate.
If there are updates that i've either missed or you think they're very important, just tweet back at me, or email [email protected]

Pretty sure Samsung Mobile has this covered, but the more the better

link?
I'm sure there are a lot of things that samsung can't post for legal reasons.

Are you 12? If so this is really cute. If not, this is kinda sad...

whys it sad?
because I'm using twitter?
I love being able to check twitter and see small news updates for various things, its like a more customizable RSS feed.
There wasn't one so I made one...its nice being able to see if the galaxy s has been unlocked without having to check the site daily.

I applaud you for being an ass to someone that is trying to help out the community.
Good idea OP. Samsung won't be tweeting about hacks and tweaks in their Twitter so I'm glad you will keep up with this.

OP, if you'll keep me updated on larger-scale ROM news (like CM finding its way to the Vibrant/Captivate), Galaxy S firmware updates, and the like without spamming me, I will gladly follow you and set your updates to go to my phone as well.
I find myself mainly reading this forum because I'm waiting for a custom ROM or FroYo to pop out on the Vibrant before I buy one.

thats what I'm waiting for, that and sim unlock.
And you don't have to worry about getting 'spammed' by me.
I don't care about gaining followers at all, I just figured that there are a lot of other people looking for the same things as me.

Great idea! Thanks!

Yeah, that one post was extreme.
I should have read the op closer last night, didn't see the other things mentioned.
I assume you follow cyanogen, wes, and the whole crew to get updated yourself?
I went to see Inception last night (WOW), so, my brain was not 100% here.

Was there a leaked update on the HD2 on 8/28 or 8/29 that I missed????

I have heard rumors, but nothing substantiated....and a search is turning up nothing.....

I keep an eye out for that kind of thing, and I have heard/seen nothing about that. Although, I do believe there were a number of new Android builds for the HD2 that came out right about then, are you sure it wasn't one of those that you heard about?

I read about it on the T-mobile forums. The person in question also stated that it was up on this website, but now the thread and all links have been removed/deleted.
Conspiracy?!?

Yeah if they pulled the thread and the links, I'd assume that someone called bs on it and they did what we would do here, and just trashed it. It's possible to that it was in reference to the release of some specific ROM (or ROM build) on that date, but my guess is that it was just someone trying to stir up trouble...you'd be surprised how often people actually do that in this type of environment

Yeah, they quoted that the links were directly from HTC....not uploaded to this site or some other site. I'd post the link, but I'm not sure if that is kosher on this site (or the other).

I just looked over HTC's official support pages for the HD2, and I don't seen any new updates of any type, not that recently anyway. If you have the link you can PM it to me and I'll check it out real quick and see if it's 1) valid, and 2) ok to post here.

K thanks Jimmy, I looked over the thread you sent from t-mobile's forums, and there's no problem posting the link here as far as I know (I'll post it below myself, just in case). But after reading it all I also couldn't find anything more substantial than just what that one member was reporting...which was just mostly that he'd seen "something" on HTC's site related to an update, that was supposedly later pulled down.
I'll note too that any updates for the US T-Mobile version of the HD2 wouldn't come from HTC's site anyway, they're only ever released (officially) through the T-Mobile support page for the phone. So, it's quite possible that even if there IS an update about to be released, it might only be for the euro version of the phone...and since official ROM updates always include a radio, it would likely be incompatible with the US model (i.e. it would brick any one that it was flashed to).
Here's the T-Mobile thread it was mentioned in:

Well it wouldn't have taken much time (or let alone effort) to figure out the answer to your question. There would be no need to read through "100 pages" if you'd just learn to use the forum's built-in search function.
But this is getting off-topic, so let's get back on track. Nobody knows when (official) Froyo is coming to the Wildfire, but you'll know it very shortly after the release.

Thing about forums is that they have tools so simple questions like yours can be answered without much effort by the user. Even if you had glanced at this page you would have seen similar threads to your own. If you had used half an ounce of brainpower you would have surmised that T-Mobile can't release their own update until HTC release an unbranded one first. If you had refined your search properly there wouldn't be hundreds of pages to sift through.
You think you're superior to people who use forums but you come here and expect them to help you with a question which has an obvious answer. So why did you come here if you're so cool?

HASHTAG FOR TWITTER: #NeverAgain * Update: Froyo OTA 1/21 - Source within 60 days *

EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

Ill try to do it on my phone.
Yes, a vacation of 3 months, hehe!

Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...

Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?

to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?

Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.

#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...

I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.
