Welcome Huawei Ascend users!

Maybe it means the update is already available. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it is and Cricket doesn't even know it!

Nah, Mine said that the moment I bought the phone, even my old one said that.

Then maybe it means there is 1 update coming. Maybe it's a Chinese way of saying it.

I don't think so, I think it means like XP SP2 OR XP SP3, something like that.

Interesting. Could be!

I wonder exactly what 2.2 will give us over 1.1 besides multitouch

I wonder exactly what 2.2 will give us over 1.1 besides multitouch

Supposedly:

1. Android 2.2 has more speed and performance optimizations

2. Android 2.2 has USB tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality not found in 2.1
3. Android 2.2 allows for app installation to the memory card while 2.1 does not
4. Android 2.2 adds Flash 10.1 support absent in 2.1
5. Android 2.2 has a lot of modified and added APIs
6. Android 2.2 improves support for Microsoft Exchange over 2.1

Wi-Fi hotspot functionality not found in 2.1
modified and added APIs

Wi-fi hotspot functionality like what? wi-fi is also good as it is

and

what are API's again?

Sounds familiar because I've seen it in Cydia

This is where I got it. Just gave you the 'short version'. hahaha

Difference between 2.2 and 2.1

 

[Jazziette]

Alright

 

[Jazziette]

Alright

There's a new poster who has an Ascend who just posted in Introductions. I gave him the forum link but thought I'd let you know to be on the lookout for him. He's 503Droid or something like that. LOL

Anyway....just a head's up.

Later!

Hmmm....Just saw this before I left and I have wondered if the release of the new IDEOS X5 and X6 might affect the Ascend getting the 2.2 upgrade.

Here's what they are reporting about the Samsung Vibrate:

Rumor: Original Samsung Vibrant Froyo Update Being Purposely Held Due to Vibrant Plus

Wack, but then again, the keyword here is rumor

Thing is...it makes sense from a marketing point of view!

Yea, but I'm usre we will still get 2.2

 

[Jazziette]

I hope so! Btw...in answer to your question on the other thread - I'm pretty sure the Ascend would use the Linux version of recovery at XDA

huh?

 

[joser116]

Do you need to leave the z4root app installed once you root though?

You do not.

 

[Muilisx]

You do not.

Nice, good to know

 

[joser116]

The definite answer is that when 2.1 was released, there was a bug. The update, which is 2.1.1 was an update to fix the bug in 2.1 . If it were actually the froyo update, then it would have said 2.2.1, not 2.1.1

 

[joser116]

You forgot it will enable remote wipe. P.S., the Ascend might not get flashplayer, kind of like the mytouch 3g didn't receive flashplayer with its 2.2 update

 

[joser116]

Nice, good to know

Do not worry if you want to unroot. If you uninstall z4root, and install again, it will detect that you are rooted and you will see the reroot and unroot options.
