T-Mobile FROYO update

Really disappointed in T-Mobile with all this German bloat-ware. It took so long to release the update then they go and add a load of crap to my phone still considering rooting thanks T-Mobile!
 
Mine has been stuck for 40 minutes on a dark screen with green circular arrows and a horizontal green update bar which reached 100% after about 5 or 10 minutes.
Is this a problem? Shall I continue to wait and if not, what next?
 
Once you go to CHe your OS sytem it says android 2.2 how ever it also says Kernel: 2.6.32.15.\-gd96f2c0 etc

Is this correct?

Also why cant i read my comics without them crashing all the time?

Example: Formera #1 once you go to next page it just crashes :(((

Does any one have the same problem?
 
An hour now and still going nowhere. It's a standard T-mobile. Can anybody help, please.

What is the screen with the green arrows? Is it the update screen or the backup screen?

The phone wont switch off. It seems to have completely hung.
 
Tonco, I upgraded yesterday and saw the same display with the arrows at one stage. It only took around 20 minutes though.
Are you plugged into a pc? I started off linked to the laptop as the battery was around 30% I did disconnect when it looked like it was dragging and it updated fine after that.
Good luck!
 
for some reason, sonc ethe update, i now cant access my personal ringtonews/message tonea/alarm tones. I havechecked the folders created under medai on the sd card and they are still there? but when I go into the chice of tones all I get are the generic ones. I miss the specials for my messages!
 
I must be on a different T-Mobile to everyone else. My update went ok this morning and in English . no extra stuff apart from a TopApps link. haven't got a Median link either, but it is there in apps - might be a widget that I haven't found yet.
In summary, if anyone is holding off I don't see why - just update over wireless as long as you've got more than 25mb free.

Thanks for the response.I pulled the battery in the end after about 75 minutes.
It restarted on the same page but this time when the bar was full, after a few minutes, it started doing things and I now have 2.2 (All English version) up and running OK.

Mine is same as Pete however under settings>managme applicaitons>all apps the mobile TV, mMediencenter and Mobilbox pro are all listed but the latter is the only one on the apps screen
 
did an update last night, got prompted when i landed in stansted around midnight after a week in mallorca. that was a lovely post-holiday present :)

waited till i got home to use wifi, and it all went through in less than 30 mins. no problems at all so far.

i noticed a few things:
the app 'mailbox pro'. all in english, but when clicking on 'more info' the link goes to telekom.de?! i'm actually german, but that's just weird :) (everything else is english)

and in 'accounts & sync' i now have MyPhonebook. what's that about? it's greyed out though, can't sync (but wouldn't even know where it syncs to)
 
I updated mine jus a few mins ago.

Only problem, new and weather app doesnt pick up my location for some reason

Also why cant we move all apps to sd?
 
It looks like this is most definitely the german update. For a start, the splash screen doesn't even display the UK T-Mobile logo. The UK T-Mobile logo always has a pink background... nowhere on the official T-Mo website or in stores will you ever see a logo with a white background. (I have been told off for using a white background on my own website before). So it would seem bizarre for them to use a white background on the splash screen. Meanwhile T-Mobile Germany always use the white background on their logo.

Just another piece of evidence that they might have accidentally released the German T-Mobile update...
 
Has T-Mobile removed the update? My phone still thinks it's up-to-date with Firmware version 2.1-update1. I thought there'd been a 2.1 update since 2.1-update1, but I must be mistaken.
 
Updated ok no problems, enjoying all the Froyo goodness BUT. I have lost the ability to disable my screen timout.

Anybody seend this or solved it?

I don't read any comics, but I have the same version as you.

It isn't the whole update which is in German. At least that isn't the case for me. It's just that the odd new app has an extra name - eg. Mediencenter.

No updates showing on mine :( has the update been removed or am I missing something???

Strange. That would indicate it's either been pulled or it hasn't reached you yet. I have no idea which. Sorry.
 
I contacted T-Mobile via Twitter and they have said several people have highlighted the issue and that it's being investigated by their software engineers and that they should hear something soon.
 
cant help but laugh all that bollox about delaying it so its right and then they release it and get it all wrong, some peeps need shooting
