[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EstradaKing:
I have tried to update my Mytouch 4G for days now because it has the oldest update since i got the phone, and I've called T-Mobile for asistiance with update but i got ABSOLUTLY NO HELP FROM THEM AT ALLLLLLLLL!!!! :mad: Just stupid excuses :mad:

1.T-mobile only told my to reset my phone by going to "privacy" uncheck "back up my settings" and "automatic restore" then "SD & phone storages" and select "Factory data reset"

will this help or not?? Because i don't want to reset my whole phone for it not to work and not recieve the update

2.I went to "about phone" and i don't have the "check updates" option or any options at all in "about phone" :confused:

3.I also went here

support.t-mobile(dot)com/docs/DOC-1818

nothing :confused: i'm tired of waiting taking things into my own hands

Any suggustions on how to fix this problem cause i'm tired of how slow it runs and i don't have any heavy apps on it either.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Well just manually push the 2.3.4 update. I suggest rooted version of 2.3.4, but that us your choice. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264704
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EstradaKing:
invasion2 thanks for the fast response why do you suggest the rooted version over the unrooted version does it make a difference if i have and unrooted My Touch??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Well you could do the unrooted version of 2.3.4 (gingerbread), but if you would want to root you'd have to downgrade to 2.2.1 (froyo). It's basically asking yourself if you ever want to root. If not, go with unrooted and flash through the bootloader. Press thanks if I've helped :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Because to get off of unrooted 2.3.4 is quite a pain, as downgrading is required. With the rooted version changing ROMs is easy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
If your biggest concern about your phone is that is runs slow/sluggish, I think a factory reset will work just fine for you because it will wipe the data that is stored causing it to run slower.

If it were me though I would definatly root, I cant beleive I waited so long before looking into root because ill never go back to running unrooted stock again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EstradaKing:
it does run alittle slow but what T-moblie had told me to reset my phone because it could connect back to the satelite and update

I WANT SO BAD to root my phone but i don't even know where to start or how to do it or which way is the right way i'm a complete "noob"

My phone was updated to the latest version before but i gave it to an Incompetent friend so he can root it be he failed miserably thats why i'm now running the oldest stock update and i'm stuck there PLEASE eqjunkie829 any suggestions
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigz1981:
MT4G is not always an easy phone to root. Depends on your MMC chip. If you want to root your phone, do a forum search & read about ADB & custom recovery first & foremost. Some root methods require you to connect to your computer and push files from your computer onto your phone. I rooted 2 MT4Gs successfully, and I just started doing this last week! The guides in this forum are solid and clear-cut. As long as you follow directions you will not brick your phone. Just make sure you have a full battery charge before you start modding your phone. Insufficient charge can cause it to die in the middle of flashing & that's one surefire way to kill your phone. (Okay it doesn't have to be full charge, but trying different rooting methods all day long with my wife's MT4G did a number on my battery charge.)

Straight answer, you can do it if you try.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
If your just trying to Update your phone meaning get 2.3.4 or .5 which ever one it is I forget you can easily just walk to a Tmobile store and ask for it they will update it for you for free. That way if anything happens your at the right place to get ur fixed. NOW! If your "UPDATING" it meaning want a custom ROM and root your phone check your MMC chip #1 and #2 READ!!!!! don't just jump on the first thread and start doing what it says 99% of the time you will brick your phone. So read a couple of threads and who cares what anybody says ask questions we are here to help but once you have read a couple of threads on how to ROOT ur phone and are comfortable doing so go for it. But if your not ready for all of that and just want the official Tmobile Update just go to any Tmobile store and they will glady do it for you.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigz1981:
I don't know what the brick rate on MT4G is, but I had a hard time bricking my wife's. I did mine pretty easily, but the same method didn't work for my wife's phone, different MMC chip. I tried 2 methods, twice, to no avail, no bricking whatsoever. Finally, on my last attempt, got it rooted & flashed. But I have to agree with Awesome's advice. Read and research before you start. Coming from a computer tech/modder background, it was easy for me to fall into step with these methods, especially since I had nothing to lose with a phone that was out of warranty due to water damage, especially when I had a backup readily available. It's funny how resilient the MT4G is, though. After drying completely and being out of use for a couple of months, it fired right up after putting it back together & charging it. Maybe that's why it was easier to root? :p

Anyway, reading material:

MT4G Noob Guide by saranhai

MT4G Resource Bible by halfcalf

P.S.

(details on water-damaged phone) It was completely submerged, but not for long, and turned off and disassembled (battery & cover taken off) ASAP. Probably why it still works today. Don't know if it was completely drowned if it would've ever worked again, but oh well, I have a working phone after water damage. :cool:

how do i find out what MMC chip i have and if it will let me root?

1) download the free terminal emulator app in the android market

2) open it up, and you should see a command line

3) type this command

EXACTLY:

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name

if your device comes out with

SEM04G

, then GREAT.

I was able to root on this chip, and I used this guide:

If you have insurance just call T-Mobile and they will gladly exchange it for another one and just check till you get a good chip no other way to change it it's just random luck.

I can't guarantee there will be no problems. Also, as you will notice on all guides, I want you to fully understand that there is a risk involved and we are not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Read that entire guide thoroughly and carefully before you do anything. Good luck! :D

Because they do pay app developers so they can stay free.. So at least we should be able to see what they advertide? I feel bad but then again I dont lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NCRoadster:
Just use the ad blocker AND buy the premium apps that you want to support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Flawed logic. If ads were meant to keep the product free, then all apps would have the same features but some/most apps that have a paid version have no ads in addition to additional features. It creates an additional incentive to support the dev.

If you think you should be seeing the ads, why block them yourself?

Do whatever you want.. no one cares. The money they would get from the ad views is pennies and by no means a way for someone to support themselves.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shehrammajid:
I disagree about it being "pennies". It adds up. I know people that make a living off of advertising on websites, apps, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JWhipple:
Obviously it doesn't matter too much to the devs or to Google otherwise they would be banned from the "market" (Play) ...

So... take that into consideration!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
I understand the payout systems and how the ad revenue scheme works. Those are websites you are referring to are getting a pretty good amount of unique traffic flowing though. Most people, especially apps for droid just don't get that traffic. It is also basically there job to maintain those websites, apps, etc so they can get that revenue stream.

Not a lot of devs are going to quit there day job because they got an app or two that has several thousand downloads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl0play:
pennies add up. Within 2 months of launching the free version of angry birds rovio was pulling in $1MM/mo from the ads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Not every app uploaded is going to be as popular as any given angry birds series because it's already an established game.

It seems that I have the same problem, my tablet is MSI Winpad Enjoy 7

The problem happened after trying to update the firmware to 0306 but following the instructions here: support(dot)hornington(dot)com/kb/question(dot)php?ID=657 , I started the process until step 7 which says: Shutdown the connection between computer and WINDPAD, pass ”Turn off USB Storage” to disconnect it"

I did exactly what it says, but POP-up window which notifies that there is new version update available (step 8), never appeared

I waited for minutes but nothing happened, so I removed the usb cable and tried to repeat the process, when I power on my Enjoy 7, MSI logo shows up, then desktop screen appears for seconds then the tablet reboots again in an infinite loop, now I can't access the tablet :(

Any help ?!

Hello All,

I’m seriously thinking of selling this phone and going to an HTC Sensation. My main reason is ROM support. We really have a few ROMs and all are really the same Stock with modifications and different themes and colors.

However with the HTC sensation, there is Ice cream, MIUI, ice-cream sense, etc. basically many more options.

I was so pumped to get this phone at the time I sold my HTC sensation but I find myself checking the Development threads ever hour, daily for a miracle. I don’t think Santa is coming.

I know I’m going to hear it but give it to me everyone, Should I sale or wait? I’m on the ropes.

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] weeo:
Hi,

Yes I have the Sensation, well the XE, and I would have this phone over the GSII anyday. The specs of these phones are similar, but the sensation has more in resolution. Also I use ICS as the only rom. I might try Sense 3.6. Also the Sensation may get a port of HTC sense 4.0. So get the Sensation :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 24bronco:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] weeo:
Hm. Let me see this. But we have other good devs. Either way we will still get a AOSP ICS ROM with maybe CM features, or others that can conpensate for it. And Sense is pretty!!! I would stick with HTC. And from a non developers POV (lulz) The HTC has nice Build Quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:

I agree, Im running Juggernaught new 5.0 Rom and cant complain one bit about it but, Im already stuck with the wife. I just kinda wish with my phone, I can cheat a bit..haha' and Flash more Roms. You know, Have different flavors...Not just be limited to a one or two ROMS and waiting for updates checking daily at the Devs mercy. And I know someone is going to say it, "START Deving Myself"....and thats why im asking about Sensation Phone that has more ROM support....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Stay with it. It'll have great ROM support soon. The reason we have little ROMs is because people are getting bored of Gingerbread, and are waiting for ICS to be released. Then there will be tons of ROMs! Great for flashaholics like me :D

Did you get rid of your Sensation before all the good development started happening? They've been getting down in that forum for months now. Anywho, I have the experience of starting with the SGS2 and now putting that thing up for a well-priced Sensation.

And to me, it comes down to this - $$$ and Build. The SGS2 is worth good money now, so sell it. If you like Samsung, wait for the SGSIII, if you like HTC the One X and S are right around the corner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
you're from orange county too, and the CL market values are:

200-250 sensation

400-450 GS2 Black-white

not including the low extremities where people sell it for too cheap

so technically you can get 1 4/5 - 2 sensations~! lol

Ok folks, this might seem like an odd request, and I hope I'm posting this in the right place...

Long story short, old laptop was fired up and Chrome sync'd and wrecked my bookmarks on my desktop PCs. The bookmarks on my Nexus in Chrome haven't sync'd up to the server yet and contain all the bookmarks I've lost.

I also have a Titanium Backup that should hopefully also contain a valid back up of the data.
