Froyo on other Galaxy S Phones.

Looks like Froyo has been on the Vibrant for over a month. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
No recovery and everything is done via ODIN. I use to have a Behold II and this guy makes awesome roms. We need to get him off T-Mobile and moved on over to Sprint ha ha.

yeah it's been a rumor for awhile now that sprint & tmobile may merge.

Silent ota update freeze.

Hey I'm on stock with root and I use bloat freezer to stop all the junk apps. Anyways since gingerbread was pushed to the DX silently it upgraded stock DX with root. I want to try to avoid that. What function is in the tbolt that I can freeze to do this?

there was no silent update you must agree to the terms and conditions for an update to be installed

I may have read it wrong but if I'm mistaken please correct me.

I know its about the DX but it doesnt mean its going to be limited to only Motorola phones. DX is part of the Verizon family so is the Tbolt, I'm afraid it may follow suit. If it is true that Verizon is cracking down on roots. Then what's stopping Verizon pushing a "silent" update to the tbolt as well.

The whole silent rumor on the DX OTA Was wrong.

His question was answered in the second post, there is no silent OTA. If you don't like humor i'm sure fox news has some forums that you could post in.

While I know that it's possible to block an OTA that way as well, ClockworkMod Recovery does block update.zips from installing.

I would hope that something would prevent a "silent" OTA.

T-mobile still selling g2x

ok for ****s and giggles i logged into my tmobile account online looked through devices still and what do you know the g2x is still there and it lets me add it to cart and buy one but for some reason it still says i have the vibrant instead of my g2x and when i click (this is not my device) and i look through the devices the g2x doesn't show up. just sharing this info with you guys get what you want from it and the only option i am allowed is to pay full price of 399 just saying take a look for your own selves
edit: without logging into my account it now says temporarily out of stock... this just doesn't make sense why would you be able to buy it when you log into your account but not be able to buy it if youre not logged in?

Hmm...I was told on this forum they are being recalled.

Yeah, I had the conversation with a rep last nite about the same thing. He first tells me it's a refurb, but then I told him that it has the "new" icon on it. I then asked if they were only available for upgrades at this time & not new customers, he said they may have kept some on hand for upgraders. So I asked him if I complete this transaction, would I get a "new" phone or a refurb, even though it says it's new, he told me not to complete the transaction, lol. After I told I work for LG, he says they don't have any in stock at all, what an idiot...

amazon appstore and at&t

i read that At&t started to allow the htc inspire to use the amazon update, with some sort of update. my wife bought an inspire two days ago and she cant get it to work. we just did a htc update and still no allowing of non market apps. i have the infuse and mine will do it right out of the box. thanks for the help

I think you have to call att and ask for them to give you the update...that's at least how I've heard you can get the update.

I assume you have verified under settings > applications to see whether or not you have the "unknown sources" option, and if it is there, that is is checked.
If it's not there then, as mentioned, you'll have to call ATT to get them to push it to the phone.

It's the "sideloading update", or you can say it's the update that allows you to install 3rd party applications that aren't on the Android Market. If the AT&T wireless rep still doesn't know what you're talking about, then they are an untrained moron and you should ask to be transferred to someone else.

The rep I talked to called HTC whom in return told him the update wasn't available yet for this phone. So I just rooted the phone using bubby's method. That opened up the 3rd party unknown sources.

Indeed. Not only that, but my parents both have bone stock inspires, and I checked their phones out of curiosity, and sure enough, they have "unknown sources" now.
Keep in mind, they don't have a friggin clue what it does, or that anything even changed on their phone.
Kinda funny how clueless parents get it without even asking for it, and the people desparate for it have to call up att.

ya lol. i finally got att to send the update. bunch of clueless people

Just ask them to push the Sideloading update to your phone. If they don't know what they are doing, then their customer support must be terrible.

your welcome works on my att inspire 4g. it will prompt for update. the update works without issue.

So there are people who have had success with att doing this then huh? I've called 3 different reps and no one could find anything. This is for my girlfriend's phone who does not want it rooted but one of the main selling points over the atrix was having the appstore.

I don't know why you guys are so pessimistic. They're the same phone, only different partitions. Do you really think they'll release a rom for one phone then say "Eh changing the partition table is too much work even after recreating all these drivers and framework. "?
I mean they could, but I really doubt it.

LG Optimus x2 and G2x are the same phone just different partitions and are in different country's

Let's just encourage LG. With some encouragement they might do better. After all 2.3.4 was a really good update
Sent from my Handheld Portal Device

I seriously doubt they would go through the trouble of releasing 2.3.4 GB and then release ICS same quarter. The rep never stated that ICS would be released 2nd quarter, they said "an update" will be released 2nd quarter. Well, that update is already here and it ain't ICS. With the G2x being end-of-life, we're lucky to have gotten that, not at the fault of LG but because T-Mobile isn't going to dish out extra money for a phone they no longer sell. They want you to buy the new stuff and renew your contract. It is doubtful that an official ICS update will be released for the T-Mobile G2x simply for this fact, though I guess not impossible. Once the O2X gets its update the developers will have all they need for a "complete and stable" ICS ROM. Who here is going to stick with a stock ROM anyway? Not many.

Either way, even if they just release a P990 (O2X) version that's good enough. They release the source code here:
http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp
When it's released, so the dev's can just modify what's needed from the O2X and make it work for the G2X (like they've done with other ROM's), so don't get your knickers in a knot!

That source is absolutely useless and big time incomplete. They have a lot of binaries and other files they intentionally leave out so it will not build.

What about the P999 on Wind? I don't own it, but as far as I know it doesn't have the T-Mobile stuff. If it's available for that you can easily put it on a G2x.

from now on I will know to get a PURE Google phone like the Galaxy Nexus. this way we will receive all updates when they come out.
