I, for one, have been mostly pleased with the Slide, except for wishing it had more available internal memory. Of course I would like to receive Froyo but I would prefer that all the bugs are worked out first.
I was just wondering...has T-Mobile ever made an "official" statement that the Slide would receive the update, or have they just been rumors from the beginning?
I thought it was official, but that they were releasing it for the myTouch 3G (done) and then the the mTouch 3G 3.5mm jack and then the Slide. Has the 3.5mm jack gotten the Froyo update yet?
Mytouch 2.2 updates:
Mytouch 3G - done
Mytouch 3G (3.5 mm) - underway (finished by mid Feb)
Mytouch 3G Fender - underway (finished by mid Feb)
Mytouch Slide - update currently under evaluation (there are bugs in the test version)
Mytouch 4G (2.2.1 update) - done
If this release was legit I'd consider that official. I doubt they have more than a few people working on it, and they're probably not even working on this exclusively. I kind of wish they'd never announced the wifi calling. I have no need for it, and I suspect that if it wasn't for that part being buggy we'd all be enjoying Froyo already...
i still dont understand y everyone knocks on samsung my friend just got the vibrant and just got 2.2 and its the best damn phone ive ever seen hd screen great ui i cant find anything at all wrong with it
There are many reasons why you would get the notification. The most likely are:
-you still haven't gotten the MR update (the most likely)
-you are using a custom rom based off of the stock UI and are getting false notifications
-or it is an android update (this is what you are hoping for)
Only way to tell what the update is, is the software number of the update. when you do it look for the android version number and software number in the about phone settings menu (menu>settings>about phone>software information). If its froyo it will say:
Android version 2.2.1
Software version 2.13.531.1 or 2.15.531.1 (these are the two software versions of froyo for the slide)
Since it is likely just the MR release you should see:
Android version 2.1 update1
Software version 1.35.531.1
Though it is not likely that you received the OTA as it has not begun officially going out to devices, the update is in fact on OTA servers ready to be pushed any day now. Let us know what software you are on after you complete the update.
Is 2.15.531.1 better than 2.13.531.1?
Well the leaked update for root devices works well with little to no ill effects. The problem is with sending the update ota, as the update in its first version (2.13...) downloads to a partition on the slide that doesn't have enough memory to process it. This along with minor issues should have been fixed in the second version (2.15...).
Also is there a stock rom out there without root? In case my gf has to send the phone in? I forgot to do a nandroid
