Do you have the zip file?? Upload it please!!!
on the t-mo forums it seems that someone has talked to customer service and they said that they are releasing an update to fix some problems that people had with the previous update and adding HSPA+ support. but no mention of froyo so idk we will see i guess
Ok just called 611.
The OTA system has been down since yesterday.
No one knows when it will be running again but when it does the update will be sent out on Mondays, Wednesdays & Friday evenings..
The update is just a lot of fixes for what the other update caused..
Genius Button, Freezing, My Fave, Voice commands, Wifi, Phone Call log..
Nothing special really .. but defo not Froyo.

This person was me, lol. This information was delivered from Tier 3 Technical Support. I also found out some heft info regarding my Vibrant as well. Customer Service Reps and any technical support below really don't know much as opposed to that level. I was surprised... But nevertheless, allow me to explain.
A lot of MTS owners have been reporting signal fluctuations and that's because of what I had said about this previous update locking the signal to HSPA. Well, that was a test update in that regard because it was all to test the server load. (It's not handling it well, lol...) So this next patch will fix many of the bugs and will allow the MTS to use the HSPA+ servers. I have an ETA for Froyo on my Vibrant but not the Slide, sorry.
wat is the eta for the vibrant im sure all the vibrant users including me wouldn want to know

Well, I don't know if you've heard but there were rumors of the GPS fix to be baked into Froyo. Sadly, that isn't the case. There will be the GPS patch this month (which is rumored to begin getting pushed around the 17th-20th) and then there will be another sub-patch (which is for the battery meter, address book force closes, multiple contacts and plenty of other bugs) released once the GPS fix is complete.
Then we've got October and that's when T-Mobile is planning on starting the rollout for Froyo. It is to be completed before the middle of November. I suppose this is all factoring minimal to no issues with the OTA's coming out prior.
Sidenote: With this whole Cliq debacle, I was told that from this point forward T-Mobile will try to focus their Android lineup on mostly vanilla Android. (I wouldn't mind more Sense devices though. I personally don't care for Espresso but my wife loves her slide and the UI.) They are really having to bite the bullet since the Behold II and now the Cliq's promised update to 2.1 from Q2 which it's now almost Q4 with no update.

Why do they insist on giving on these worthless updates, instead of working on an actual Froyo rom? They waist their time on something that's like 20MB, when that time could be used for something else..Other HTC phones are getting 2.2(inc sense). There are minor diff b/t sense & espresso, excluding faves, genius,themes,etc...

They have different teams that work on the software of the device. For example they'll have a team who test in-market software while others work on testing and developing for future software.
Give these guys a break. They work hard at what they do.
Thanks for the response everyone, I will leave this topic up for future updates to the slide up to and including froyo.

Yes, there is an OTA on the way... CR has seen it in-person. No, it's definitely NOT Froyo. Nothing overly exciting, but for those people who run stock-like ROMs it will definitely be an upgrade.
My letter (linked here) is to address a specific time-line for Froyo rollout on our device.
siccmade, can you PLEASE get in touch with ChiefzReloaded or myself ASAP? My GTalk is nbetcher (at) gmail [dot] com. Thanks!
Looked but didnt see it. Were should I be looking
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
False alarm everyone... still need someone to pull the OTA once they get a notification. Note: if you get a notification on anything other than: Stock or CR_Mod then it's likely a bug. Please download the OTA package, but make sure to NOT apply it!
Thanks everyone.
Is there a manual download update before this one that we are waiting to come out?

Could you tell us if space still plans to finish a new honeycomb for tabs, or has he maybe given up on it? I ask because I see from other threads that he is helping out other devs and that he has bricked his tabs.
Please notice that I'm not asking any "when" questions. I love my tab and I plan to keep it as long as possible and it would be great to one day have a tab optimised operating system on it
There are actually people who think that I with my SG Tab am jealous of their ipads. Moahaha!

Looks like HC, exact same HC Dan released that was 2.5, only I fixed Audio, BT, and a few other things that I cant remember.
GSM version will probably never happen, I dont own a GSM tab, cant afford one, and even though i just switched to tmobile, they dont have any.

The reason behind me not releasing a GSM version of anything...
I dont own a GSM tablet. I dont have the funds to buy a GSM tablet, and I own CDMA tablets.
Plus, lets be honest here, there are enough GSM dev's out there to choke a horse, to stab each other in the back and steal stuff, lie , and generally BS others.
But, it comes down to me not having a GSM tablet.

Yea it works but not as good as it could, battery has been poor lately, wi-fi/3g/gps signal is low compared to other phones I have (same network/wifi/area) we are a api level behind the official release of ICS (4.0.3) and the last update was December. Now I believe it will be ready when its ready and with fewer bugs but there is a point where it takes the p*ss.

Maybe everybody's but mine. Mine still suffers from low signal/data drops and the horrendous loss of outbound audio bug, which is unacceptable for any phone. I just hope a software update fixes it, as I really like the phone...when it works.

Aside from the fact that I have yet to find and get working the following 2 apps:
1) An app to eliminate the grease mark left by my fingers; and,
2) An app to change the casing from plastic to metal.
I have no issues beyond the standard "It's a smartphone, it'll crash once in a while." that's happened even with my first Palm Treo smartphone .. those Treos and Windows Mobile disasters crashed several times a day even. My Galaxy Nexus has blown up maybe 3 times in the last 30 days. Not bad.
This is the finest phone I have ever owned and it runs like a champ.
My phone is the GSM one.
edit: Also I'm not itching for some update. Everything works fine for me ... so no need for me to get uppity.

I think OP might be referring to how something like December is missing in some stock apps.
Yeah, Google probably won't patch it or anything. Let's just write the whole thing off.

Ya who cares about December anyways, not like there is a major Holiday associated to it!
Not!!
I am positive Google will patch it, they already stated they were going to.
quoting KenEsq at provided link
4.2 has been a disaster here on our Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7s. If there were any easy way to go back we would in a second. Google should be ashamed of releasing this mess.
1. We had more app crashes in the past three days then we had in the previous 6 months.
2. Battery life is about 75% of what it was on the Galaxy Nexus.
3. There's something wrong with the way the touchscreen on the GNexus is calibrated now. Touch an icon near the edge will initiate a page turn/slide rather than launch an app.
4. Numerous slowdowns, lagging.
5. Missing month of December.
6. Time on the GNex is bizarre. Other apps that also report time aren't in sync with the system time and that seems to be off a great deal.
7. The new lock screen on the Nex7 is a mess. It's slow/laggy. It can take multiple entries of the pin code for it to work and then you may be greeted with a black page. If you have one widget page selected (time) every power on will greet you with a partial view of the blank widget page.
8. Many apps including the Amazon Appstore (they patched it yesterday) lost their ability to have persistent login.
Should you not believe my reports head over to XDA you'll find a slew of additional information. Suffice it to say if you haven't "upgraded to 4.2" yet...DON'T!
End quoting
But whatever. Maybe it's all made up.
I love Android too, don't get me wrong.
Nobody is saying that its made up. We're saying that Google is working on the problem and a bugfix is in the works

But this isn't just a "missing December", fixing everything should take some time, and for what? What’s so new and shiny about 4.2? I only heard of the photos combination thing, which is nice, but that’s it.
I didn't say it doesn´t have a fix, I was only wondering if it's worth waiting for it/solving it instead of focusing on a nice, complete 4.1, which is already half done.
@Aquethys
I was under the impression Dman had stopped developing his 4.1 ROM to focus on 4.2 (now I realize it’s for The Collective, not the Glide). Since it is not 100% clear whether he will continue working on 4.1 or start a new 4.2 project (for the Glide) when he finishes, I don´t think it is a total waste of time to exchange opinions on this subject beforehand (not that we were his bosses anyway, he may as well take some well-deserved holidays). We are tech guys, “counting our chickens before they hatch” is what we like the most
Ps: I’m not an expert, but the fixes you mentioned sounded more like bypassing rather than solving.
All the stuff mentioned above can be fixed.
1. Calendar. Use another apk.
2. Battery Life. Custom ROMs can take care of this. Lots of ways to manipulate this. Also, it's only been released to source in a matter of days. Give it a couple weeks. C'mon..
3. Calibration. Again, custom ROMs. Some even have calibration options.
4. Lag. Overclock, underclock.
I could go on and on...
This is really pointless arguing over whether or not we should build 4.2. It's like counting our chickens before they hatch.
Would like to hear feedback as far as when and where the 5.1 update shows up, as well as any problems downloading or applying the update.

Here is the think. Are you speaking of Firmware. FirmWare of Which has to go to Computer engineers and not the swash of Software Engineers that exist and work for every company?
Here is the thing And It seems that you and MANY MANY people do not understand Hardware.
They are still trying to optimize the code that RUNS the hardware. The screen is done already no power improvement can be done there as it is manufactured. Kernel level code that controls when its on etc yes can be modified. Updating the Firmware is no guarantee that it will make power consumption better. Optimizing the Kernel and how the CPU is used and when to shut things off will help. BUT there is a limit to where they have made it as efficient as possible. Can you come up with some solution that allows the Radios to communicate better that is certified with current technology. OF Course but it may only relate to when its on(HOW MUCH POWER IT USES-You want good signal right?).
The thing is the unit is hungry by default. A Simple Firmware Upgrade just isn't going to fix battery drain UNLESS
and I SAY UNLESS
there is a major bug that keeps a unit*component on the board* running, or IE using max power for the radio due to a signal strength glitch, or something that keeps the CPU on all the time instead of sleeping..... Things like these are fixable in an update.
If they can find power draining bugs/glitches then yes a firmware upgrade would help
Other wise IT is rare that they can just optimize over and over and over again. There are only so many fixable power draining issues that are caused by code that an be fixed.
This is something That I have learned while working on my BS of CE. Now Industry techs who pioneered this tech would be able to give a better answer
Also they have to make CPU profiles that fit everyones needs. When people install Power saving Profiles they get better battery life at risk of CPU strength. This is just nature and a way that modern can personalize their devices.
Also Android is still a battery hog :/ and the fact plenty of places have crappy signal suck to.

I have not experienced any type of battery drain on the phone. However the M9 seems to suck battery when running apps that require the screen to be on, or use a lot of resources to run. I do not see this as a problem with the phone, it is a problem with battery technology not keeping up with phone technology. Or to even elaborate more, there are much better and longer lasting batteries that could be used in phones, we just wont accept paying $2,000 for that technology. If you think this phone is bad you should try out the s6. You can drain the s6 battery in about 25 min with the screen on if you are lucky. I guess that is the cost of a better screen.
I disagree. I would bet it's this horrible os called lollipoop. Or the crappy kernel. But its debatable, I think the battery technology is actually pretty good.
What are you doing when you notice the battery draining?
