T-Mo OTA 2.1 Update

I searched through the forum, but found nothing relevant to my phone/carrier. Anyone heard anything about the 2.1 OTA update from T-Mobile?

There are actuly hundreds of web pages that discuss this so you didnt do to much searching.
The 2.1 Android update will hit between Now and the end of May. Ranging from the NEW mytouch/Fender LE, Cliq, Cliq XD... The old 32b Mytouch will most likely not get a full 2.1... The G1 sure as hell cant handle 2.1, but supposedly a stripped version of 2.0 is being made for it.
Google Tmobile 2.1 ota update.

Can't wait. Stripped version or not.

I agree, it doesn't really matter if it's stripped down or not. It just means there will be driver for the 2.0+ roms... imagine the improvement this will make for the current eris and legend roms.

We need to close this thread. There are DOZENS of threads regarding the 2.1 update. Do we need another?

Wow, looks like no one ever had anything positive to say when you ask a question. Seems arrogance gets the best of "devs" these days. I pride myself in finding the information myself when needed, but according to some I didn't search enough. Now look, it's almost august and no 2.1 for a lot of devices. You could have simply resisted the urge to share your arrogance and just not posted at all. Thanks for truly helping, you are a credit to the human race!

The update got changed from Android 2.1 to 2.2 and it is scheduled to be released sometime in august according to a leaked document from tmobile. Feel free to google it if you like.

Alright. That's enough!
I'm going to "jump in" and close this redundant thread.
@OP, NOBODY in this forum knows exactly when or even if the update will be released. Anyone that says otherwise is misleading you. Even if the person has reliable information through reliable sources it is still up to the carrier to release the update and I don't have to tell you how much can change at the last minute thus making those reliable sources unreliable.
If you want any information about future OTA updates contact your provider.
If they don't know then what makes you think that any of us does?

I think you must be referring to this:

Sounds like there is some potential there, but we will have to see if anyone can turn the overflow into something useful.

I just took that update yesterday too...lol

Problem is this news is three days old and nothing new has come of it. I'm skeptical that he ran into a roadblock.

What update should we not go passed, I took the update for the exchange server fix, i am currently on 2.1-update1.
How do we stop taking updates? the last one went automatically for me

Not sure about this 'opportunity' but that update included a recovery update which could have patch a yet unknown/released bug.

I hate to give bad news, but I'm about 99% sure that the exploit is for the Droid Eris. He mentions leaks (there have been 3 leaks for the Eris) and this was first posted by Zifnab on the Eris forum the other day.
This MAY have provide some insight into a possible root method for the incredible, but, personally, I am not optimistic considering all of the time between releases, the newer kernel, etc.
Sorry everyone.

he does seem to be working mainly on the eris but the main reason i posted it was because he says in this thread that it should work on any HTC device that uses fastboot.
while i know squat about the area, i figured it was worth linking to.

This looks interesting and useful, even if the information is for the Eris the post says it would work on all HTC devices with fastboot.
All HTC devices come with fastboot so if this is real its most credible post to hit the forums for the incredible.
1Way

Head over to the XDA Eris section and talk to him about what he's doing.

Relax, it's not like i'm killing trees or taking up space by posting this. I didn't have time to go through the entire forum just to make sure i didn't hurt your feelings. A popup appeared showing possible similar threads, none of them matched, so i submitted it. No need to cry about it.
Thanks.

To all the complainers, why are you clicking on the threads then?

I can understand if the thread title was Google announcing Gingerbread!!!
But it's "Google announcing Gingerbread soon?"
With most thread titles, no one can tell exactly whats in the posts.
Just wait for the thread title "Gingerbread is here!!" and click no others than. Simple.

No problem, and i agree, all existing threads should consolidated or something. Hopefully there'll be no need for that if Google stops teasing us & releases 2.3 already.

Cool dude, thanks for the info and welcome this a public forum and everyone share his knowledge, always here like this, when someone post anything even said hi u will see many of the guys here saying sucks comment. THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS. keep going and when u have something to post don't think a lot, JUST POST, if i want to read i will read if i don't i will leave u just thanks

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?
it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.

Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?

[Q] What is NoDo ?

Hi
What is NoDo?
Thanks
Amedeus

NoDo is an update to WP7 by Microsoft scheduled for March 2011.
Next big update is called Mango and is scheduled Q3/2011. This should bring multitasking an other stuff...

Does that mean that NoDo is 7.7008 as this is an update just released ?

No, as I know, the 7008 is an Update to improve the update capabilities to install further updates.
NoDo is 7389, I think.

So what does NoDO stand for?

Specifically - it is short for 'No Donuts'. Actually, it means nothing - it's just a name. It could just as easily be a reference number.

It is a poke at Android as all of Androids versions have had a name to do with pastry. You know Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, and now Honeycomb. It is just a way for Microsoft to make fun of Android publicly and not get sued for it lol. Look at the name of the next update, Mangoo which is a fruit. Fruit is suppose to be good for you and pastries are not get it? I think it is funny myself.

It's reasonably common knowledge why MS called it NoDo, but the poster asked what it meant, which is nothing really - it could have been called 'charlie', 'R2D2' or 'Hon Lionel Prinkinville III' - it's just a means of identifying it rather than imparting information.

You are correct it is just a means of indentifing the update. But it is a poke at Android and that is the reason Microsoft named/identified it as NoDo. Therefore I equate the NoDo or No Donuts to mean that Microsoft thinks their Windows Phone 7 OS is better than Android. Thus making NoDo mean WP7 is better than Android. I guess it is all how each indevidual looks at it. I just find it very comicial and had to post that as VirtualRenzo obviously had no clue about it. Microsoft and their silly word games

Actually NoDo is a reference to a meeting where a microsoft employee forget to bring donuts when he was supposed to.. it was not a jibe at android.
A quick google will tell you that.

Mar 22, 2011 … The name is a sarcastic reference to Android update that are all … I did not like the UI as it is bland and rather ugly. … US owners of Samsung's Galaxy S Vibrant didn't get Froyo until 8 …

I could not find a article on the guy forgeting the donuts but I have read about that as well. But don't you think them making fun of that guy is where they got the idea to make fin of Android in the same way. But thos is not worth arguing about it is just a name. But the truth is the truth.

The link you posted said the following:
"rumors have it that windows new firmware name "No Do" is a punt for Androids "doughnut" firmware"
I highlighted the crucial word. The blogger, like you, is only guessing what it means.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...................... That is so funny
Do you really take that as proof?
That sounds more like someone covering their butt from lawsuites to me. Somthing somebody said on twitter give me a break.
AlsocI am no blogger never have been never will be. The only reason I sited that link and quote was because you told me to do a quick Google search so I did and that is what I got, ot toke all of like 1 minute to pull that up. I never had a MySpace page, I don't use facebook matter of fact can't stand facebook, and twitter is even worse of a joke and a falacie in my opinion. I don't want to read whatever someone wants to just vomit out, or something they are writting to try to look cool. I try to stay grounded in facts and not fantasy that the corperate world would like for people and strive for people to stay in. I mean really do you think they would publicly admit to the name NoDo being a slight of word against Android. That would be grounds for a huge corparate lawsuite, and maybe even cause Microsoft to lose ownership of therlir precious new OS as a outcome of the lawsuit. At minumal it would cost them a very large amount of money.
Why are people diffending Microsoft anyway? Microsoft has never been called a saint. But the fact still remains call it a rumor or not the truth is the truth. Especially when it is so obviouse that a blind man could see it.
Beleive what you want to beleive, and continue to be blind if you want. I originally posted in thos thread because I thought others might get a good laugh out of it just as I did but I guess I was wrong.

Ok seens you don't think I can use Google (which you are torally wrong) here is a little article I got by using Google. This article does more than just says it is rumored it breaks it down just a little more, and shows it is a direct link to Android with the name NoDo. Funny thing is it was the third link on the first page of links Google pulled up and all I had to type in was NoDo, hmmmmm!
Also you think I can not search XDA, wrong again check out these post from XDA. Link #1, Link #2, and Link #3 And best yet one from you showing you really did not know for sure yourself not long ago.
Also check the link in my sig about "Becoming more familiar with XDA"that is all about how to use search.

OMG GIUZE THIs Is serious buiznes. pleaze continu to argument abowt it. The futur ov fone developmeant is at steak. dis must bee rezolved.

Coming In 2012 is Microsoft Windows Phone 7 "STEAK" why steak? cause steak is F****NG GOOD!!

Unless they update to ManGo soon I think windows phone will go the way of the DoDo

I just wanted to point out that Froyo is Frozen Yogert... Don't forget Gingerbread and Icecream sandwich. Android is named after deserts. The Donut release was about 2.5 years ago... who runs that version?
The name nodo comes off as stupid when you realize they thought android was called pastries.

New Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition

Same Tab, same price, but it includes a keyboard now and USB adapter.
Anyone know what keyboard it is?

Based on the picture of the packaging, it looks like a Samsung keyboard that allows you to dock the tablet in portrait mode.

How much for the keyboard, alone?

It is an official Samsung keyboard. Why would you ask a question and then give a completely unwarranted, nasty response, that not only does nothing for this thread, but makes no sense. When did he say anything that related to him insulting you or hating on this thread? Why would Samsung release an official bundle with a keyboard that looks exactly like an official one, but is not the official one? Maybe they didn't release the accessory to force people to buy the bundle? Just because it isn't on their site doesn't mean it isn't coming in the bundle.

Ah crap! Apologies to everyone and especially to imnuts. I checked this thread this morning on my phone and for some reason the only thing I saw was the what was typed in the signature which is just a couple of links to search engine and actually thought it was his post to me. I was really baffled by it at first. But was like why this guy doesn't think I at least searched around about it at first before I posted anything.
Basically I asked a question (and thought) he replied with search engine links. If you click on the links you may see why it bothered me a little and didn't understand why he would post anything at all if that was all he had to say. But now that I am actually on a PC I see his post in its entirety and realize it was just his signature.
So again, I sincerely apologize.
However I did find this keyboard available at foreign website. I'm guessing Hong Kong. I also noticed tha tabs on that site are white.
