T-Mobile FROYO update

[rod9669]

If i get a text message from someone who'se conversation is live with me, but I leave the the phone to display off on it's own after about a minute, not pressing the power button, then i get about 5 seconds of the ringtone. this works great for me

HTH

According to T-Mobile's "official announcement", it's testing the UK release of 2.2. However, T-Mobile told me that it doesn't know what's likely to be in it......

I've also noticed the bug that you don't get a notification when you're phone is sleeping in the message app.

One more for the list...

What message app are you using, as dont have this using handcent.

 

[DesireMe]

Standard one.

SMS -

i) Several problems. I've clicked on a text and a different thread has opened, this has happened several times.


Applications - Even with automatic update ticked, it still shows up as an update available and i need to manually update.

One a few occasions I experienced the SMS problem above.

Re: Automatic updates, I have found my apps tend to tick the box theirself!

I assume that they tested it last time as well, yet we still ended up with the German version! I can't wait to see what we get this time!

I noticed the other day that the pound symbol isn't one of the symbols available on the main keyboard layout (I'm using the default keyboard). I'm sure it was before I upgraded.

I'm sure all my settings are set to UK where they can be.

Was it there pre-Froyo, or am I being stupid?

It's on the second symbol page, where it was previously.

 

[RobDickson]

Thanks for your reply. I'm obviously being stupid. As I said, I thought it was on the main layout pre-Froyo.

It wouldn't surprise me!

Does anybody have any word on when we can expect the correct update?

 

[DesireMe]

It's all gone quiet.

Not even T-Mobile knows.

I got a very similar DM from them on Twitter. They basically said they have had no word from their software team, and would let me know as soon as they know.

They were basically fobbing me off, but I couldn't be bothered to probe any further.

Got an system update message this morning so may be things are fixed. Since 2.2:

I've had erratic data signals
I can have the situation where no bars are shown but have an HSDPA signal
then the bars jump up and down
move the phone 6 inches and it will move from HSDPA to GPRS
generally far more 3G when I would normally get HSDPA

Fingers crossed for the update, the new version is : 2.12.110.4
Old version was : 2.12.110.2

 

[Nestacres]

Can confim the above...just mnually checked and an update to 2.12.110.4 is available. I'm not rooted on standard t-mobile.

 

[RobDickson]

The description only mentions removing the unnecessary German applications. Don't tell me we've waited this long just for this!

 

[blueadvocate]

I was hoping the "dropped calls" issue is fundamentally what causes my erratic signal hence both would be fixed; as you say how long to remove a few random apps.

 

[DesireMe]

What is the point of having: Check for Software updates automatically ticked?
I've had it ticked from day one and it hasn't picked up any updates to date.

My upgrade just created an error. Apparently you need 25MB of free space to apply this.

The whole lack of space on the desire is starting to bug me now.

 

[DesireMe]

I still have:

- MobileTV
- Download Navigon
- TopApps
- Mobilbox Pro

The only one that seems to have gone is: MedienCentre. WoW! 2 months to remove 1 app. They must've put in plenty of overtime to achieve that !!

 

[blueadvocate]

I still have TopApps, freed about 6MB but data signal is just as erratic.

 

[shaunydub]

Anyone know the point of this update now?
Also as per earlier poster I never seem to get notified of updates even though it's ticked!!

 

[StevenSeed]

I did the update today, only thing I've noticed is that it seems to boot up a lot faster. Not much internal memory reclaimed from losing that MedienCentre or whatever it is though.

 

[StevenSeed]

Should I factory reset once I've software updated?

 

[RobDickson]

I think I'll leave my phone as it is, since T-Mobile has confirmed that the only change is removing the German apps (and, from what I've read in this thread, it doesn't seem to have done that very well either).

Should I factory reset once I've software updated?

Yes you should do. I had to do a factory reset as it said android was no longer installed on my phone.

This was sorted though after the factory reset.
