Well it looks like finally there is a MR release that is going to stay being pushed out starting tomorrow...
My question is... Can some one post instructions on how to pull the update off the sd so that it can be hosted and manually loaded onto phone...
This would ber greatly appreciated..
Can't wait to have thee tmobile sync issue finally resolved on the wifes slide....

Thank you ahead of time for helping out!!!!
 
I just got a text message about this update (with a link to the t-mobile community forums). I thought it was funny how they made sure to say "this is not the 2.2 Froyo update".
 
Yeah the wife just got same message...i was like don't download wait till you get home cause I was thinking it was the update.. False alarm... Damn you tmobile...
 
You guys already got the update to download? does it come via text? Question, is this a firmware update? Everytime you do a system factory rest, do you need to reinstall this?

thanks
 
Yea I got that message...Clicked the link read the message and was a little disappointed .. yea its great we will get better battery life. But I wanted my 2.2.... I'm running out of room for my apps.. I had to just uninstall a bunch of them.. I use way to many everyday...
 
Well I'm glad for this update. The reason that I even installed adw, is because i didn't have any use for the faves gallery because it didn't work right and sync with facebook.

I tried downloading the facebook app, but that ended up taking 12 mb of space on my phone, thats a no no with out froyo.
 
Any one get the OTA update yet??

Can some one please please post the directions on how to pull this update off the sd card..
With this update you can't manually check for it...
So yeah basically you have to wait to receive the update and that could take until middle of the month..

Thanks to any one that can get the directions

And a big big thank you to whoever gets the update and pulls it for the rest of us!!!

Question.. is that the app your talking about? or just an off the market one?

It is called friend stream.

It is a widget. Just longpress on a completely empty screen, go to widgets, find friendstream, and place widget option 1 of 2 onto the screen. TADA!

or you could press that right button at the bottom of any homescreen.
 
I just got the update at 6:00 am in southern Illinois. First thing I noticed was the TMo sync ran and stopped!!! It's about time, I'll play a bit before I go to bed ( I work nights) and see if theres any difference.
 
What worries me is that it said anytime from the 4th-through the 19th.

I've never gotton an OTA update before..will it ask me to install it? or will it just install it?
 
It will say a firmware upgrade is available and you choose to install or postpone. This is the first time I've gotten one myself, except for the small security fixes when I had the G1.

where does it say this? is it a text message that comes or what? please provide detailed details :)
 
In the notification bar. There will be an icon. Click on it and you will get an option to install now or postpone.
 
Is there a way to maker thee phone check?

On my evo there is a system updates section in setting..not seeing this on the wifes slide....
 
No, there isn't on the Slide. If you are impatient, you can go to xda developers site and download the update, they have it there.
 
Totally forgot about XDA would have...i been on the site most of day waiting for them get the evo .3 to .6

THANKS though for pointing that out
