First OTA 2.2 Updates by T-Mobile?

[medmansri]

Now that the Slide is out, waiting for 2.1-- 2.2 SOON!

The Slide has been released today and it comes with 2.1. Since MY3G is supposed to get 2.1 as well, I wonder how much longer it will take. I haven't rooted since last time I tried, I bricked the phone. So I've been patiently waiting for the official ROM. Come on TMO!

EDIT:

So Tmo heard our prayers and have answered them. They will release 2.2 for Mytouch 3G soon. yes!

I was told by our HTC rep yesterday at my store that they expect to start rolling out updates by 16th but it could take up too a month for everyone to get theirs. So just watch for the alerts.

I couldn't take waiting, so I just rooted my phone.

Good to know, I'll be on the edge till the 16th. I've waited this long, guess a couple of weeks more to go. Wonder if they'll be a way to disable the Sense UI from it.

I did that with my slide just uninstalled sense and installed LauncherPro

so how does it run with no sense and i different launcher

 

[Kemekill Products]

much faster. sense really bogs down the system in all honesty even with the speed it has coming straight from t-mo. My g1 was running just as fast one 1.6 as the slide was with sense on it.

howd you uninstall the the launcher and install another with out root???

Ok heres my story...I called T-Mobile 2 weeks ago, spoke to a rep in Android Tech Support, named Jessica...She said that it was coming to the MyTouch 2.1 most definately, but didnt have any idea as to when......Today I called T-Mobile again (just to hype myself up) and I spoke to a guy named Andre.....He at first said, "There are NO plans to release such an update, where did you hear about this?' I told him The T-Mobile.com forum...and several other sites...He went on to say, "Well that's just here say and thats the public talking, not T-mobile or Android."....Then said, "Wait I'm going to put you on hold and ask another representative who is taking classes for the MyTouch.".....So I wait.....5 minutes later he comes back and says, "Yeah sir there are NO future plans to release such an update."..So I asked, "How do you guys expect us to keep up to date with all your phones, when you release on every other month?"....He said, "Well that's technology sir."....I laughed and hung up.....

I would like other XDA members to call and ask the same ? and see how many different answers we can get....Maybe ONE DAY well get to see our MyTouches updated..

And come to think about it, We never recieved a SINGLE SYSTEM UPDATE EVER for the MyTouch...

I got a unlocked T-Mobile myTouch Fender LE, and currently using it on Wind Mobile network in Canada. If and when T-Mobile releases 2.1 OTA update, will I get a notification as well? Do I have to present physically in US with a T-mobile SIM card to get that update? I have been patiently waiting for the update for quite sometime, and so I didn;t root it yet. Any ideas, guys.

Google the name Andrew Sherrard. He's in charge of this who update operations and what not. He's been spewing info about the 2.1 updates for the past 4 months for the MyTouch. What has he told us? We will get a genius button, we won't get sense ui, an OTA may not be realistic but instead we might need to copy the update to an SD card wipe and flash. Expected to be out in Q2-Q3

Call my T-Mobile store btw.. (503) 362-0251
I'll tell you everything I know and so will everyone else working in the store.

So you're actually able to uninstall Sense UI? Would that leave it with a bare 2.1? If it ends up looking like an N1 that would be brilliant.

Yeah you can just go into Settings > Applications and uninstall it

That is awesome. This is news to me. Now I'm becoming impatient for the upgrade.

WOW can Sense UI be uninstalled? 4 REAL?

I thought it was a framework that the phone needed to run....

Anyway is MT 3G Slide a GSM phone?

I want to import it to Europe, but CDMA phones like Sprint doesent work here...

I've read recent reports that 2.1 won't have sense ui on the mytouch.. that would be sweet.

its kinda tricky i heard that to but apparently there calling it slide ui. so i think there just throwing every one off slide is tmobiles version of sense. so they can say it wont get sense ui but i bet if you ask them about slide ui it will be a different story

At this point, I'll take anything. I'm a bit disappointed this is taking so long.
