T-Mobile FROYO update

Yes you should do. I had to do a factory reset as it said android was no longer installed on my phone.

This was sorted though after the factory reset.

Thanks for the advice.

My dilemma is that there's nothing particularly wrong with the phone at the moment, but any possibility of it being made better is quite tempting.

A real "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" scenario......
 
As well as removing the German apps, the radio has also been updated to a newer version along with the update and according to a few people in the know, a few patches have been applied as well, so updating is recommended.

I still have:

- MobileTV
- Download Navigon
- TopApps
- Mobilbox Pro

The only one that seems to have gone is: MedienCentre. WoW! :eek: 2 months to remove 1 app. They must've put in plenty of overtime to achieve that !! :rolleyes:

OH FFS!!

The radio does not work now. Force closes everytime i open it. Fkin muppets at T-Mobile. :mad:
 
I've only just realised that this update has been released. I echo the sentiments of others who wonder what the point of having "check for updates" ticked, as I've never been informed of either update.

I haven't downloaded or installed the latest update. Is it worth doing so? Are they going to pull it?

This is becoming a farce!
 
Also, how does installing the update affect the apps saved to my SD card? Do I need to move them back to my phone or anything like that?

Cheers mate.

I contacted T-Mobile Help on Twitter today and asked what the state of play with the update was - eg. that I'd heard it doesn't remove all of the German apps, and I wasn't going to download it if it was going to be pulled and replaced.

This was their response:

Hi John, It will not be being replaced, there is a shared ROM between the various T-Mobile companies and the update removes the app from the main menu, but some are still visible via manage apps, this doesnt affect the memory available to use or the functioning. This is a software constraint that HTC are unable to change. But the update does def improve the running of the device so i would def do it

I downloaded the update a couple of days ago and the bug that made the phone signal drop out completely for a minute or two when it lost the 3G signal and went to 2G seems to have been ironed out at last, that was my main problem with the Desire so it's all good :D

I updated mine last night and I still have all those too :confused:

My radio still works ok :cool:
 
I'm wandering if something else has/is causing the radio to stop working then. Admittedly i've only used it twice in 8m.

same here, however, im guesing that Top apps will not be taken off as is t-mobile bloatware that can be used in Uk- nothng German about it on mine ( have to admit I did find a new app using it). also Mobilbox pro is somehting we can also use in Uk if we woud like although it costs a fair bit for what it is, depends if you want your voicemails to be downloadded to your phone or not. I know its crap that the networks put ther stuff on the phones but by the looks of things on here its not too tricky to debrand and then problem easily solved.
 
For those who are saying that the apps are still on their handset, see my post above. T-Mobile have said it's because of the ROM and despite the apps still being listed, they no longer take up any of the phone's memory.
