System update

[DeadPlasmaCell]

Hi all my wife and I both have mt3g phones and she was prompted to update her phone with a system update. Not really sure what it was about, it wasn't a firmware update and the build is the same. The only difference is the kernel version. I'm in the Houston area if that matters

I, too, live in the Houston area, but have not gotten prompted to update my Mytouch 3g.

I have seen a few people chatting about this on T-Mobiles forums...looks like an update to the radio as well.

New OTA UPDATE?? 1-25-10.. - T-Mobile Community

i second this... im supposed to get 3g in my area but my phone seem to jump from 3g to gprs and back to 3g it might be an antenna problem...


i also herd that a update was going around that would fix the problem with some peoples missed call notifications problems...

I was having that problem with a Mytouch 3G, Nokia N900, and two BlackBerry 9700's. I called and opened several sevice requests with Tmobile (every few days) and they FINALLY sent a tech out to fix the towers. Now I'm perfect -- before it would be 3G then GPRS (skip EDGE). Now it's a solid 3G (-60dBm)

You get your update prompt yet?? Still nothing on my end.

Nope, not yet. I was momentarily hopeful when I got an alert of an "administrative message" a little while ago, but it turned out to just be Weather Bug informing me that an Amber Alert had been canceled.

Well, whoop-de-doo, some missing kids have been found...

You must have gotten lucky I called customer service and got a clueless jackass. I wish I've took his name to report him. Ill try again tomorrow.
