Commando Update

I wish we had been forgotten by Casio and Verizon.

I think if they had left all of us out on the 2.2.1 limb, all parties involved would have been better off. Casio and Verizon would have saved a bunch of money as well.
 
Yup after the update it is not rooting again. Super User is still installed though. So I tried to un-root but it fails.
 
It is just called Videos. It plays the videos you have on your phone/sd card. I downloaded MX Video and it is comparable with quality. It also shows the videos you rented or available to rent.
 
Hi No idea!
You tell me :)

I'm wondering if this app will work on the Casio Commando. I have frozen Inopath, the commando's OTA updater app, but others who did not have it frozen have lost their root.

I would not reccomend getting the update. My biggest downfall is that when you hold the power button to turn the commando into airplane mode, it gets blocked by the stupid PPT program. So therefor now i cannot put my phone into airplane mode.. THIS SUCKS:mad::(:confused::p

do you have custom recovery installed?
do some nandroid backup :D
 
Got my M100 today. Of course the PTT and the new google MUSIC app's were listed under the running apps screen so I shut them down. They'll restart (I'm sure) the next time I power off/on. They should at least give us the option to move this unwanted stuff to the SD!
 
I shut down everything I didn't want running. then went into Market and all the Verizon apps, i unchecked to do auto update. then i uninstalled all the updates that I didn't want. It freed up alot of memory and made the phone run alittle better. Now, just DON'T shut the phone off. If you do, just force close everything again. Most things stay closed.
 
Coot, I don't know how the update is interfering with the long press power for airplane mode function... Are you actually using the ptt function currently? I got the update loaded several days ago and my long press function works flawlessly.
 
I updated and now I am frustrated because I accidentally pushed the PPT app and now it is a constantly on-going app. It is always in the notification menu and every time I try to go force stop it restarts the phone. I don't have the PPT service so every time I go into the app it just checks for service and then it tells me I don't have one...thanks but I don't need a whole app to stay ongoing just to tell me it is not connected!!!

Seriously Verizon has to pull its head out of its ass and stop overloading our phones with shit that we don't need or have little control over. I am seriously looking into rooting now....this phone is not bad, Verizon is making it bad!
 
Man after the last update and I lost root I said the f with all that having to re root everytime. This round of updates download, but won't install. I was worried I"m missing out. Now I'm glad it didn't work, but the thing keeps trying to update and it is annoying.

Just freeze innopath. ... and yeah this update blows. The ptt is awful, and there's nothing else worth mentioning. I think they just did it to break zergrush, and the rest is window dressing. ..
 
oooooor you can try the OTA Rootkeeper and tell us if it really works. This update may stink, but who knows, the next one might be better.
 
I have Innopath frozen and use Tikl as my PTT. So far it works well and I can use it on the job to talk to my guys using Tikl.
I do not plan to update until SOC can root the phone after the update.

I'm happy with the way my phone is now (rooted, GO EX Pro) in version 2.3.3. with all the stuff I need.
Dont really need a larger 3G image or the PTT, but love having a rooted phone that I can play with!

Have patience young Jedi, we will break in in due time!

You may need to enable it on the account (its free, who cares?) so you can control it and then you can disable it. It will probably always be on your phone but if it is disabled you can then reassign your tactile key.

Unlike what looks like everyone else on this forum I use VZW PTT for work & this version is the best of all the VZW PTT phones I have had.

I am in the same boat as yugostud1 but when I go into my verizon account and go to turn on the PTT it says I have to pay $5 a month for it. As if the added bloatware wasn't enough now I have this crap PTT app sucking battery and memory and my side button.

Yes, it will say it's $5, because it is...

After you apply it, look at your discounts. It will say 100% off Push To Talk. When you initialize the PTT app, it appears the app will continue to try and authorize with the account. Poor design? Probably. Once it sees that its authorized you will then be able to turn it off and switch your tactile key back to something you want. I experimented with this by turning off the PTT, then going to settings>personalization>tactile key. I was able to switch the tactile key to whatever and it worked as it should. As soon as I turned the PTT back on, the tactile key went back to being the PTT button.

What it boils down to is if you don't want the PTT, don't open the app. Too late for you, I know, but maybe others will see this thread and be warned. Perhaps it is a way to artificially inflate the number of PTT subscribers. As a PTT user I am impressed with the UI. It is the best by far version of VZW PTT so far. The service is what it is - like it or hate it it's better than Sprint's Qchat but will probably never be as good as Nextel's iDEN.
