• After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.

Post here if you received the OTA update.

Lost Bluetooth update: If anyone experiences the loss of bluetooth with your headset after the update, If you have tried re-pairing your phone to no avail - Remove your battery, wait a minute or two, replace and reboot your SB2. Voila!

(Thank God, because I was not in the mood for replacing my Jawbone 2) :p
 
Well my 72 hour phone ticket never produced a call, so I called TMO back. They are sending me a new phone, but can't guarantee that it will have the update. They waived the $10 shipping charge, so its a free exchange.

My bet is that I get the update within 24 hours now. :)
 
Damn I think we're on the old show "punked" and there was no update to begin with! As a side note, I ve been trying endlessly to get rid of the default messaging notification so I dont get duplicate notifications and I think i have finally found a solution! I downloaded an app called "automatic task killer" but there are other ones out there. This program automatically kills apps when the phone screen turns off. I told this program to automatically kill just the stock messaging so when i get a text, it automatically clears the envelope!the trick is you get the text, the phone screen turns on and then off like normal(which triggers the program to kill the messaging notifications) so now you only get notifications from 3rd party apps!

That's a good tip, thanks! Might want to copy that in the "Tips and Tricks" thread - I have seen a lot of people mention this.

It's easier to just delete the apk and reinstall it, then it gives you the choice to disable notifications.

I need root for that though, right? I would be glad to do that, but I don't know how - I actually just posted in the root sub-forum a request for helping me figure that out on a mac. I tried to learn it on my own, but got scared I would brick my phone and backed off. I know it's not rocket science, but I think I'm ignorant of a few key pieces of knowledge ... If you can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

You can get the adb shell running on a mac, since its part of Google's Android SDK. Just go to the SDK website and grab the mac version Android SDK | Android Developers. This will allow you to use the try3 script to get root. The thing you will not be able to do is run Samsung's ODIN which would get you back to factory stock since its PC only. You might want to consider Fusion or Parallels on your mac to run virtual PCs.

So basically you can root and apply custom ROMs from a mac, but if you want to get back to factory, you need a PC.

Awesome, thanks! I will see if I can get that going. If any other Mac users are interested, I will follow up in this thread: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/52685-root-roms-mac.html
 
So I don't have the update yet but, after a replacement phone that didn't have the update either, T-Mobile let me know that samsung told them the update are sent out Mondays from 11pm-6am PST. Not sure if that's accurate or not, but I guess we'll find out in a few days :)
 
Okay Guys... Great NEWS!!

Run the Device Manager, just click Start DM, and the updates are finally coming through. I just confirmed on my phone and a friends phone. The DM arrows did not disappear and then 3G was red for a long time and then finally said Update and it installed!!
 
Uh I don't believe it! But this is the longest I've had the arrows on my screen with the DM trick. Will post again in a minute or two with an update.


UPDATE: Says I got it, APPLYING NOW!!

:)

This is happening for me right now - sweet! I can't imagine how excited I'll be when we get an OS update, as pumped as I've been for this lil bug fix :D
 
why wait for the update when we can install bh_man's rom. The new rom already has the update :)

I was suckered into trying the tmo update since my wife got an update (her's was twiz) so i figured I'd try with my phone. alas, after odin back to twiz, still no update lol...

oh well, i'm installing the stock rom again.
 
Yeah I finally got my update earlier this morning... And for those who were wondering I don't have a data plan, *and* I'm one of those who won the phone back in November. Although I did call t-mobile and bitch something like 5 or 6 times this past week, so I really don't know if that had anything to do with it.
 
I received my update this afternoon. I noticed others in the thread mention that it is rolling out. I rebooted and waited to device manager. No luck. I verified my settings and noticed I had "LAB" selected. I changed it back to "Production" and "Started DM" it worked after that.

Now to find out if all the waiting, angst, and etc. were worth it.:)
 
Its christmas time..i got my update too..hopefully it fixes what it says it does, especially battery life. Now I can finally get away from stock and go back
to messing around with the phone
 
Hi i was wondering if this can work on wifi and i am using at&t network not tmobile was wondering if it can work please let me no
 
I got my update during the night and went proceeded to install it as prompted, but it failed. I went to Device Management and it said the result was: Update failed. I downloaded what I assume is the update file from server (https://fota.t-mobile.com:433) and address listed in Device Management and have a file called delta_T939UVIJ6Plus_to_T939UVJA3 (size: 12,412,064 bytes) on my sd card in this directory:

/sdcard/download/OmaDownload.com/10475/1001/

Does anyone know how I can use this to retry the update? Running DM does nothing. I'm assuming I need to get it loaded into wherever the Software Update command looks, but not sure where that is. Thanks for any help.
