There is no 2.18.531.1. Do you still mean 1.18.531.1, which is what you said in post 145?
Fyi 2 at the beginning =2.2, 1 at the beginning =2.1

Yes that is what I meant... but I figured it all out I for some reason had to format my sd card then when in recovery I had to wipe my partition prior to flashing a ROM.
 
I think i will wait until they get the kinks out. My girlfriend uses wifi too much since she is on the $10 data plan. Plus she likes the espresso widgets and launcher pro is too buggy.
 
how do i get the firmware 2.2.1 that the mytouch 4g uses onto my mytouch 3g slide which runs 2.1 update 1. is there an update that t-mobile has sent out? i am trying to view movies on my slide and it will not open, i put the same movie on the 4g which the wife owns and it works perfect.

I don't think it works that way... The software has to be built for the phone specifically. You could try rooting and try the 'stock' 2.2 'update' that was 'leaked'.
This link could help maybe - it has some of the t-mobile bloatware removed too.

Or this link.

That's the one I use

Just unzip it and remove the bloatware you don't want and rezip it :)
 
So, its March now. Still no official OTA... My 2nd Slide has started to get dust under the screen, time to call and complain to T-Mobile...
 
Im still waiting too...I was thinking though; I also own an original mt3g mine is only a tad slower and works fine on 2.2, but that forum is full of disgruntled owners who say their phones are nearly unusable. What if slide owners start getting horrible performance out of thier phones too?

So, I called t-mobile cs and they said they can't do anything about the dust under the screen. Really!? Lame. Do I have to wait for it to get really bad, then they will do something about it?
 
Wow its March 6th 2011 and STILL NO UPDATE for the SLIDE!!!
I came from Samsung to Tmobile because I thought that may THEY would at least support their NEWEST phone atm.

My how i got a slap in the face when samsung updated their vibrant and made me feel like a jealous ex gf lol

Yeah but it's not their newest "tmo" phone...the mytouch 4g is;) and we (4g owners) have already gotten an android os update (2.2 - 2.2.1) not just a stupid tmo MR update. I have little doubt it'll also get up to gingerbread, but I don't really care about 2.3.x. It brings nothing to the table but a fugly UI and NFC compatibility and I will never use that.
 
The Slide is made by HTC not T-mobile....

Although HTC did not brand the phone anywhere like they did with the 4G (it says HTC on the battery cover)
 
sooo uh.... i guess were not getting it since at&t is taking over...

bout to frisbee tmobile...errr at&t and go with verizon to get the thunderbolt...

We won't be AT&T for another 6-12 months at which time I plan on jumping to Sprint and hope Verizon buys them out and I can keep my $80 unlimited everything.
 
one thing i REALLY wish it had was last used apps in notifications like stock.... the g1 type last apps used by holding home is annoying
 
So I call T-Mobile for one things.. then ask them about the 2.2 Update.. As always they are super nice on the phone.. They girl puts me on hold for a while and tell me. That the updates started going out already.. and I should have mine with in the next few weeks...

I wanted to say something.. it might have made her cry but she was so damn nice on the phone...

I hate you t-mobile.. why don't they just put this update on their site so we can just pull it..

I haven't seen or heard anything official from T-Mobile saying they are rolling out the update...
I went into a T-Mobile store the other day and the guy there was like - yeah the only way you are going to get 2.2 on that phone is to root it... (maybe he meant the only way right now, but the way he said it sounded like he meant the only way ever)

I would say it will be released eventually.

The CR MOD is a leaked version of the update and runs flawlessly with the only issue being memory.
 
boom! great find...that'll shut em up. guess tmo finally admitted they couldn't do it ota or thats a messed up april fools joke since it was posted yesterday. lol
