Database Info

Froyo 2.2 released by AT&T finally?

Saw this on engadget but the link goes nowhere. Anybody confirm?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/samsung-captivate-on-atandt-gets-android-2-2-all-that-froyo-hasn/

Moved to general as not android development

that page has been there for some time, it is now gone

I couldn't find any other info on it - But being that the post was just made this morning, I'm still excited...

saw this too, but the page it linked to (which is pulled now btw) was actually a direct copy/paste of the 2.2 update for the Vibrant when I saw it last night. The cached version here still has all the tmobile references.

Maybe try to go back to stock and give kies a try.

How did you get Kies to recognize your phone? I haven't been able to do that since the update to JH7.

I have to put it in debugging mode to get Kies Mini to see it. I have no idea what impact that may have on actually upgrading though. I'm stock Eclair BTW.

Towards the bottom in they have mobitv renamed to t-mobile tv.
Maybe they realized the error and pulled it.

Already discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956155

LOL. Samsung's/AT&T's never ending ineptitude provides quite a bit of comic relief. I mean...really, how hard is it to push an update? I remember getting OTA updates on my G1 without issue. Has nothing been learned since then?

I don't know how I missed that? Thanks though.

It had this sentence at the bottom too:
* What are risks for performing the upgrade?
o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....

I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!

Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.

Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

well thats not very smart for you to do.....

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.

Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.
Just trying to pay it forward

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.

I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks

Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.

You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.

Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.

Wondering why you aren't getting OTA?

I went to a T-Mobile store earlier today, and ended up talking to them about the official OTA update for G2x. Turns out they pulled it because of "Issues it had". My LG update tool messed up my two phones, so I'm no longer trying that. My only chance for an official GB is the OTA, so I was forced to ask a lot of questions when they broke the news. They said they have no idea when the update will go live again, but it will work again once the issue is fixed. I'm not going to go through the whole "soon" phase again. Hopefully this is fixed fast.

Thanks for posting this. I've decided to wait, but have been curious why I had not seen it on my G2X. My daughters update via OTA came the day after it came out. I assumed I hadn't seen it 'cause I'm rooted.

No Problem... They most likely stopped the update today since I talked to Customer Service yesterday, and they said "Wait for the OTA once your replacement arrives".

I hope once they fixed whatever they are doing to be able to install that update as well.

If you were asking about the PC used with the lg update, I used a Win 7 pro 32x. Worked great. No issues.

Lol, guys if you can exchange this phone for the sensation i will suggest you do it ASAP!. LG has pretty much washed their hands off this phone. It kinda reminds me of what Nokia did with the N900. Anyway i had an opportunity to exchange mine with NO cost and ended up getting $3 back this Monday. This phone is nothing but trouble. BT don't even work properly.

No, i was just curoius I guess. I don't like the HTC Sense UI, it is way too much for me. It slows down the phone way too much too.
The gingerbread update we got from LG is half way done if you ask me. T-Mobile should make them finish it and then push it as OTA to all of us...just a thought

IF this is true (and haven't there been lots of threads over the last couple of months where sales/support/service representatives confidently asserted "facts" that proved to be false or were even obviously wrong at the time?), I'm hoping it might be to rectify the one point about the upgrade that has been universally panned: the loss of the LG Froyo camera application. It would be nice to get some independent confirmation, but given both LG's and T-Mobile's demonstrated unwillingness to say anything definitive about anything, that seems unlikely...

Most likely. I called them again, and this time they said it was a problem installing. Others installed perfectly using the OTA. So i'm thinking they're covering up something.

They just sent me the Software update after I called them. Quick Fix or clueless employees?

Well you see, i explained to them that i bought a G2x (dual core,blah blah....), if i wanted a G2 i would have bought it. After all it is a 2yr or so old phone. Went on about how the BT on the phone does not work with an expensive BT. How it freezes....basically every other problem people where having i let them know. But she wasn't budging and i gave the phone back to the tmobile manager. Anyway to make a long story short i was nice to the manager and explained it all to him and even took it one step further. Right before i got to his store on monday, the BT locked up just like i suspected it would and i showed it to him and from then on he did is magic
Just like i ask the tmobile rep on the phone: if she had a lexus (LS 430) and she paid FULL price for it and it turns out to be a lemon. If lexus refuses to fix the problem or give her her money back but instead wanted to give her a honda from 2yrs would she take it? she was basically silent....that is when i handed the phone over to the manager. Anyway keep *****ing and they will definitely switch you over.

Yes ALL phones have their issues but i can assure you the sensation problem is way less than the G2x.
Don't kid your self about sensation being a downgrade because it is really not. How is it really a down grade...is it because of sense? have you really played with it?

[Q] What the heck is an LG-P999WA?

LG and T-Mobile in all their wisdom have yet unleased another G2X model number upon the world. It is being supported by the LG Update program for rom updates also. Some people reported that TMO was giving this model away at a Chicago trade event and on a Twitter contest. Is the illusive white model? Or is is just the same same we have now with another label slapped on its insides? It would be interesting to know what the actual differences are between the model numbers. I will begin.
LG-P999DW - Original released version that most people have.
LG-P999DWP - One of the units reportedly a refurbished unit. But how does it differ from the LG-P999DWDU?
LG-P999DWDU - Another reportedly refrubished unit. Again, how does it differ, if at all, from the LG-P999DWP refurb units.
LG-P999WA - The new mysterious designation supposedly given out as freebies. Is there any hardware differences between previous models. Why oh why another hardware designation for the same device? Any of you with one of these bad boys/girls (gender neutral device for the PC crowd) let us know if you have discovered any differences between what you have and what we have.
Any other model deisgnators out there for the same hardware we have all come to love, loathe, adore, hate, etc.
Thanks TMO and LG. You gave us something else to talk and ruminate about while we are waiting for you to step up and give us 2.3.6 and then ICS (we love Ice Cream).

Thanks for this. I was wondering which was which the other day buy didn't feel like reading through other threads

how am i supposed to tell which one mine is...

The battery cover tells you nothing. They are all labeled P999, even P990s. The only way to tell is to connect your device to the LG Updater. It will connect to the device and tell you which model number you have. You are okay as long as you don't press the "start update" button.

That doesn't help either as the "DWP" and "DWDU" units are labeled "DW" on the sticker. The only way to tell for sure is to use the LG Updater to identify the device.

I wasn't aware of this, and yeah I was referring to what was printed under the battery after taking the battery cover off.
So anyway, how can I find out which model I have under the updater tool? I plug it in and it detects it, but doesn't tell me which model I have anywhere. Should I be looking somewhere specific?
-edit-
Nevermind, I guess you need to be running stock or OTA firmware for the updater tool to tell you what model you have. I tried with Cyanogenmod flashed and it told me there was an update but it wouldn't say what I have

Here is a screengrab with the area circled in green where the updater tells you what phone model you have. This appears after the updater connects with the phone and checks the current software version.

Yeah I know, did you over look my edit somehow?

T-mobile Promises me an Update to 2.3.4

I just got done talking to a T-mobile rep about some problems I had with my G2x. So he asked for my firmware version and I told him 2.3.3 and then he asked for my kernel version and I told him. Then he told me to do "Checking" on my phone dial-er ,then he said I'm going to get an update in the next 24 hours to 2.3.4. If I don't they said for me to call them. Do you think they are bluffing?

While I can't say that they are wrong, I also can't say they are correct, either. Customer CARE isn't supposed to disseminate that kind of information to begin with, largely for this reason: they don't really know what they're talking about. They aren't briefed on this kind of information and therefore aren't supposed to mislead customers into incorrect information.

If this is true this would be fantastic. I could change my mod to firmware designed for TMO (wifi calling would work peeps) and it would hopefully flash a new baseband and solve some sms on 4g issues people are having (hopefully).

I bet I know what happened. The tmo rep probably misunderstood and thought you had the Tmobile G2, which does have a gingerbread 2.3.4 update. Don't waste your time calling those donkeys tomorrow.

Nothing yet. I don't think he would get a g2 and a g2x mixed up. Only because I gave him all my "about phone" information under stock 2.3.3 so who knows.

The CSRs at all the companies are notorious for knowing nothing and making stuff up. They are usually the last to know about updates, etc. so I would take with a very tiny grain of salt anything they say about an OTA coming soon.

So, did you get your promised OTA yet?

The CSRs at all the companies are notorious for knowing nothing and making stuff up. They are usually the last to know about updates, etc. so I would take with a very tiny grain of salt anything they say about an OTA coming soon.

I used to be one of those CSRs.. actually I was a Tier 2 PDA Tech Support until they closed our call center... I was top performance on the site, and I didn't make stuff up .. of course, I got all my facts from xda-developers before we ever heard of them at work... plenty of the other tech support reps made stuff up though...
As far as the OP's OTA... I can guarantee the rep didn't know about what they spoke... We have the leaked 2.3.4 from the tracphone device, and while it's nice, there aren't enough differences that T-Mobile would bother with the hassle of doing an update OTA. That said, the firmware is *obviously* built, and they COULD push out such an update... They just won't.

If you were knowledgeable and didn't make stuff up then you were a rare exception to the rule. What did they do, send your job to India, South America or the Philippines?

Supposedly they took the tier 2 pda support totally in-house... but honestly their support has really gone down in the last year, I think they were already shopping the company to be sold when they closed my call center.

No. I called them again and they said keep trying. Typical.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

you know i am tired of people saying that tmobile told them this told them that.
you know what tmobile costumer care and tech support dont know nothing other than whats in their screen. and honestly tmobile will not tell tech/care if there gonna be an update they dont know whats the exact date.
im telling you because i had worked with tmobile tech support.
yes they give us cell phones with the actual update but just to test.
and to be honest some people working at tech support dont even know **** about cell phones and how they work. if its not on their computer they put you in hold or send you to another person.
if you really want to know more about when this update gonna come out if it does. i guarrantee ya xda will be the 1st to know.

If my G2X is rooted with CM7, do I have to worry about T-Mobile pushing an update at me?

You will never even get a notification for an OTA. They can't push updates out to non-T-Mobile ROMs that aren't on the stock recovery.

Not quite true. If you are on a stock rom but not stock recovery, they will push the OTA to you but it will fail to install if stock recovery is not on the device.

Thanks for the quick correction. I noticed it right after I posted but had to go to a software licensing meeting. I was just coming back to make the edit right now
