behold 2 will be on SPSTV 2/18

That "wow" was their remark about all of our questions coming in and being avoided. I told them to check us out. We are not amused. "check with Tmobile..." Puhleez. I also told them that it is a Samsung issue and not Tmobile...Tmo says ask Samsung... No one wants to take responsibility on this. Now we have the leverage of their own broadcast to back up what we have been saying.

Time to get the "suits" involved. After all, it's their bottom line. I know if I just came online and saw all this lack of good service by a company or a brand, I would want nothing to do with them. And I don't!!! :mad:

Still livid at the TV guy's insipid "Watch the Tmobile website" remark. What a crock...:mad:

trust me i feel your pain i want an android update too, but if all the bugs are truely fixed with this, then even with android 1.5 it is one of the best android phones on tmobile right now, of course i don't count the n-1. it is not a tmo phone!

btw not to split hairs but a bug fix by definition is an UPDATE!!

No harm done with you lil bro! I am just passionate about my phone and the $$$ spent on it. And I'm ticked off at the mukety-muks.

Seriously. If the manufacturer *has* the update and announces that they are putting it in another phone, that says to me that we are being overlooked after already spending good money with them. The phone isn't four months old, for corn sake. That is too young to be obsolete. And announcing a 1.6 update is ridiculous when app devs are already announcing no support for anything lower than 2.0 on new programs.

behold_this I generally buy a high quality phone to last its life-cycle and keep it updated with officially released software. It is the way I managed my Blackberry and Palm phones. If with the Behold 2, we are stuck at Android 1.6 - We're done already. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't know about 2.x but we do! We are simply told that we most likely won't get it. Which IMHO, reeks for a 2 month-old phone (purchased for Christmas in December).

For the record, my argument is not with Behold 2, nor Behold 2 users. I love the phone. But the guts run it, yes?

***And I should clarify as to "official" update (rather than a root job) whereby I would void my warranty etc.
 
here's an update on the update i received:

it's still 1.5 of course. i have noticed little difference in functionality but i also have not had any of the bugs pop up either...yet. one good thing is the screen shows back up quicker when on a phone call and the proximity sensor turns off screen so thats nice. seems snappier, but that could just be in my head.

I think that I dont care what you think so behold that... I wasnt trying to be mean, I was being sarcastic, but you took it like a sore loser
 
behold_this:

You need to put NowVoyager oh ignore. He obviously works for HTC or Apple, and is just here to disrupt our experience. He just puts out misinformation and crys. You hit it right on the head when you called him out on a fix coming. There is nothing that will satisfy him and I wish he would go spam some other forum.

if you don't care what i think then why are you asking me about the update? who's the sore loser again? the fact is i have it you don't so sucks to be you. i have tired to be helpful and the reason i took long to post was because i was testing the phone, but nevermind you can just wait til you get the update to find out!

peace
 
C'mon Guys!! please don't bash the OP rather thank him for his post.. We should all bash Samsung and Tmobile for abandoning the ship. :confused:

that works for me paul! i'm really not that bad a guy either, at least i hope i'm not. i can see that i may have taken your post a little too seriously. i know you want this or any update bad, i did, hell we all want and deserve it for enduring these problems for 3 long months (i bought, yes bought, this phone on day 1 Nov. 18). but i am happy with the bug fix...for now. the proximity sensor working faster is really key because that was really frustrating me!

sweet! yes I hate going from 1.6 on my G1 that I sold down to 1.5 on a buggy behold 2. I had no idea it was going to be like this. does it seem anymore responsive?, or does the battery meter work properly? Thanks for understanding:p

It seems quicker, but as I said before that may be in my head. As for the battery meter so far so good, but I'm about 30 min out from a full charge so I'll know more bout that once I disconnect the charger. Also I tried bluetooth with no problems, but I didn't try before the update so don't know if my phone ever had that bug but I can say for sure it works now and very well too.

**update**
phone is all charged up and all battery meters including third party ones have the same reading once removed from the charger...100% now to see if battery life is improved.
 
Why is everyone so upset about a lack of answers from Samsung? Do you really think they have anything to do with pushing updates? Like I've said before, Samsung has done their part. Now it's up to TMobile to do theirs once they feel the update will be stable with their particular phones.

Find comfort in the fact that we WILL get an update, sooner or later. That's better than some phones who will never receive updates.
 
ROTFLOL @ChadMD23, she really needs attention, poor rattlebrained soul.

@behold_this I think you understood that my frustration is with Samsung and Tmo and not with you personally. And since I was speaking with you and not some basket case calling themselves an MD, I think we resolved that issue.

As I promised you, I did show up for the live broadcast. But as I said, they never cover the "hot button" topics on those shows. They are meant to be vanilla tips and tricks kind of shows. The looks on their faces as they read our posts told the story, LOL. They said "Wow" a couple of times as they saw how many of us wanted the update issue addressed. I think that they even said that they had never had that many participants, if I'm not mistaken.

We Behold2 owners who actually purchased the product are on the same side and are looking for the best OFFICIAL version of the OS for our phones. It just gets so frustrating when you hear that other phones will either be updated or debut with at least 2.x we keep hoping that we will too.

so does it start at 100% then goes down to 99% then 98% and so on, because when mine fully charges it says 100% but then when I unplug it it drops instantly to 95%

well the problem i had with mine was that the battery would read 100% while on the charger still but would drop to 95% almost instantly. it does not do that anymore. as for counting down not sure i didn't look for that but it's been almost an hour of heavy use and i'm at 93% so it's a bit better, so far, than i was getting before. i used to get 8 hours of heavy use per charge.
