I notice that sprint zone gives you a link to your accounts information. It seems to just open up your web browser. Maybe just bookmark to the link(to sprints mobile site) for quick access.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Thunder, you are a life saver! lol. Thank you. Wouldnt happen to have a link for the newest version of Sprint TV too would ya? :)
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ca7846:
I have a page thay has embedded pdf which does not show up with stock browser.

I have tried many other browsers but none supported it.

Is there anyway i can view them? Or save them?

It's very invonvenient because i come across those kind of pages often.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] compuse:
Yea terrible sites, no wonder they aren't compatible, most home browsers will get upset seeing certain pages (no decent mousescrolling, no keys, run before know etc)

I would give up on the pdf implentation, and convert pdf to html before resleasing(not live pdf to html converting) =/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
install SkyFire

download the PDF then read it on the phone

I am not seeing any real info on the OTA update. I got it this afternoon. I have noticed so far

- Wifi calling

- Hotspot capability

- Can now update Goggles
[G2 and Desire Z General] kurtis.austin2:
Really? I haven't heard anything!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
Pictures. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MCbrian:
What -- another report of this?

That other thread went away...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mark925:
I'm calling bull. If people started getting them earlier this afternoon we'd see news stories and many more threads on it.

EDIT: maybe not bull... http://theandroidsite.com/2010/10/11/t-mobile-adding-wifi-calling-to-the-g2-via-ota-update/
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Really ? Can someone provide instructions on how to upload it. This could be very useful for the root cause. We all called the other guy for trolling. Did a mod delete that thread?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fuskand:
I have anecdotal evidence from other websites claiming to be receiving an OTA update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
Prove it, OP.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryf3:

How much memory are you showing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryf3:
The same. App Monster Pro shows 1.29 GB
[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:
Isn't there usually a code to force updates or am I mistaken on this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
You're kidding me... I returned my G2 because I get terrible signal indoors on campus, and I couldn't live without my BB's UMA so I figured I'd wait until it was enabled. The tards on the phone and in the store said it's looking closer to December for the release...

EDIT: Err... that was a useless post. I hope the updates become widespread; I'll definitely rush back to get the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
If this is real.... this could be big for getting perm. root available. Either way the tether option is sweet! Did the radio version change anyone? My G2 is off and charging right now... My signal is crap compared with my MTS. Really need a newer radio version.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
That's what you get for I having no patience.... sorry! I had to say it:p

I'm glad I kept mine. But I had no other choice for an android qwerty.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I don't think this guy is some photoshop wizard... The radio got an update too! YEA!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I was thinking there was but there is a section in "About phone" for system updates. Mine says up to date but I guess thats if you missed your prompt or something...

Sorry for 4 posts in a row but... I'm just excited! Dude, this better be real or I'm fly to Cali and ***** slap you. Ha! Seriously, though.... thanks for the info!
[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:
Right but I think there is a USSD code for forcing an actual check for OTA updates that are available.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mcp2009:
Your thinking of *#*#checkin#*#* I've been trying for the past couple hours but no luck :-(

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] elmejor183:
Best way I guess would be to get adb

if on windows it would be adb.exe

but in a command prompt/terminal

run these commands.

adb shell ls /system/app/

From the output of this command look at the different .apk found in the system app folder. Look for one which might say wificalling, something like that maybe. It will be some keyword, I dont know the specific since i dont know the appname. Once you get what you believe is the correct name then we continue.

Lets say the app filename is WifiCalling.apk

then run this command. Again, from command prompt/terminal

adb pull /system/app/WifiCalling.apk

You should replace WifiCalling.apk with the actual file name, Which again i dont know since we dont know.

Once you do the above command you will have the .apk file where you ran the command from. so if you ran the command from the sdk tools folder it would be there.

I think if you are on XDA and have rooted before you will know exactly how to move around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I tired pulling an app yesterday and was given a command saying it write only...or read only. I can't remember.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnmed3:
Man i enter the code, said "checkin succeeded", went to updates nothing. I' guess il get it when i get it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Nothing here in dallas tx but I will post up when I do and grab the link if I can
[G2 and Desire Z General] alanowiz:
I guess opening sales on the g2 weren't as good as t-mobile hoped for, so now they gotta open up tethering. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] bsnelson:
:)

I'm not sure this is the reason, but I, for one, will be (almost literally) burning rubber to get to the T-Mobile store (or somewhere) to get a G2, starting about 2 milliseconds after someone confirms infrastructure wifi tethering with this update. That's right, 2 milliseconds. :)

Brad
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Or they noticed people are still rooting phones for something as simple as being able to wifi tether.

Why not just release it as an OTA, and prevent lots of people from rooting and possibly bricking phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
fyi, you know they had to shut down pre-sales because of the "overwhelming" demand for the G2 just among the existing customers.... I'm sure they did that for prevent inventory delays.....
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Ok so yu could do international calls well tmo can't charge me for **** extra cuz I got flexpay so they can't but mayb it'll deny the call if I try, flexpay users some times get lucky like I did wen I got the sidekick I download about the whole catalog and they didn't charge me extra a app on a sidekick is on average like 3 dollars but I downloaded apps that were 10 dollar also and no charge at all, btw can I do calls over wifi if I'm in some other part of the world like dominican republic?
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Great NY:
Just installed aLogcat...

Haven't gotten any notification of the OTA just yet. But when I do I will run logcat and try to get the DL link for you all.

Edit: now do I need to have logcat running up until the notification comes or when I get the notification...run logcat? Iirc I think I should run it after the notification pops, right?

I may put it on my homescreen for faster access.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Why do you keep saying infrastructure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rayhova:
Just d/l logcat myself.. I would assume you can run it once you get the notification.. Safest thing run it, then just click on the home button to exit. That way you know that it will be running in the background. I'm sure someone else can/will confirm.

If I get the update, I'll post what I find.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtrausch:
That person is referring to the mode of the WiFi chipset when it creates a network. One can create an “infrastructure” network, where the chip acts like an Access Point, or an “ad hoc” network, where the wifi chipsets are peers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
As opposed to ad-hoc.

Some devices don't work with ad-hoc WiFi.

http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wireless/f/infrawireless.htm
[G2 and Desire Z General] bsnelson:
Yeah. Like my company-supplied laptop. :) No USB devices of any kind except HIDs, and no ad-hoc wireless. Thus, infrastructure wifi is the only way for me to get connected.

[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
No updates still out in jersey... hopefully soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fastludeh22:
Not to get to far OT, but what type is "wireless tether for root users" cause it works with temp root right now...

And back to my orignal question:
[G2 and Desire Z General] batrad:
waiting as well..
[G2 and Desire Z General] -RotorDemon-:
Checkin Succeeded. Have Logcat running.

Waiting....
[G2 and Desire Z General] elmejor183:
Yes you will be able to do wifi calling from DR if they don't block the IP addresses for that country. Which I don't think they will do.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryf3:
How would I be able to tell?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
Tell what?
[G2 and Desire Z General] miguelrodas:
I just spoke to my local T-Mobile rep and she said that the update is supposed to be rolled out for the masses on the 17 which is this coming Sunday. I trust her as she is an android geek like a lot of us here on XDA and loves hacking her devices.:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
Ok First your here in the T-Mobile forums sporting a Sprint Logo :confused:

And second the masses means G2 masses or T-Mobile Android Masses?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
He's obviously an Evo 4G user (and N1 user?). So he's into Android just like the rest of us. Perhaps he knows somebody at T-Mobile.

Thanks for the info buddy. I'm sure all of us G2 users will get the OTA eventually. Patience is not one of my virtues, but I'll try!
[G2 and Desire Z General] madpanda331:
Been following threat since page 15 =( getting tired of waiting for OTA or link

Still running AlogCat just in case =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
So what will this OTA fully consist of besides Wifi calling and tethering ? Or is

it premature to ask at this point ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
Very premature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] innerlight:
I just got off the phone with t-mobile and from what I was told the only update that's planned is for the my touch. Does this mean we won't get an update sooner? Who knows. Just wanted to throw that in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
Anytime I speak to any sort of telephone support/customer service, I take what they say with a grain of salt (or a bucket full). The person on the other end of the phone could be really sharp and well informed, or clueless. Their job is usually to get you off of the phone as quick as possible with you at least content (not necessarily happy, just not pissed off enough to complain).

I can totally see a big update being planned and some of the cust svc folks not knowing about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] innerlight:
With the bugs that are on the phone I would hope it won't take as long as it took the g1 to update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] d0nkey:
I have a friend who is a csr for tmo, and he says they only tell him things when they are happening. So you would probably have to get really lucky to find a csr that would know about the OTAs before they officially started pushing them out to the masses
[G2 and Desire Z General] innerlight:
I wouldn't be surprise if the csrs are the last to know about updates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ShaunMichael80:
Tmobile Customer Care Reps are morons...they dont know anything
[G2 and Desire Z General] randalla0622:
You may have a dying SD card

Since you never got an answer, what happened is that for some reason your phone crashed and restarted (Likely just circumstantial and not necessarily related to the checkin). Upon startup, it sounds like your SD card did not mount. This caused the apps that you had moved to your SD card to not appear in the app drawer at all, and the shortcuts to them in launcher to appear as generic icons. If your SD card seized before the crash (became unreadable I mean), then it may be why the phone rebooted.

The wallpaper not appearing is interesting as it is my understanding that it stores the wallpaper in a local file on the device, and not the SD card, but maybe that's changed, or I don't have enough information as to your setup.

Your subsequent reboot was enough to the SD card to mount correctly, which is why everything came back. For fun, the next time your phone reboots and you have access to the launcher, immediately go into the app drawer. You should see the apps on your SD card load in as they are read from the SD card.

My suggestion to you is make a backup of your SD card when you have the chance. It's possible that it's going bad, and it's better to err on the side of caution. I suggest that because I recently had my 8GB transcend microSD card die (unrecoverable in any machine I put it in). When it happened it was in my N1, and all my apps were missing, and those I had as shortcuts in the launcher were the green and white default android icons. I didn't lose my wallpaper, though :)

Anyway, best of luck to you.

Adam.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I can't believe no ones been able to catch an update on a log.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheArtiszan:
I still have mine cued and went thru logcat and nothing in here. Trying to get it to restart the download to get the link again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] randalla0622:
I beg to differ, at least half way. I've talked to some very knowledgeable reps from T-Mobile, and as a whole they've been both very helpful and nice to talk to. Heck, when I bought a used iPhone for the wife, I called T-Mobile and they went over everything that I needed for the APN settings. They even sent me an e-mail with iPhone specific instructions for setting up the APN and all that. The guy I spoke to was even doing the same thing with an iPhone for his girlfriend, so he told me.

However, maybe they have regional pools and you get pushed into the one that is best for your number. I don't know. I'm here in the NW, and T-Mobile's customer care, when I've needed to call it, has been reliable, courteous and honest. It's actually one of the primary reasons I'm still with them after so many years.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
Were you able to save the logcat file and then transfer it to your PC?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
The log should have been saved as a txt file if not it's still running.
[G2 and Desire Z General] spovat:
I have yet to see proof of the update other than that same image that all the tech blogs are circulating...anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z General] karlherr:
I haven't seen anything either - I'm starting to think this might just be a ploy to make the tech blogs look like bigger douches after the whole root kit fiasco.

What further proof do you need from me? I can understand that there are some who spread BS on this board, but the photos I took were clearly so bad and detailed they can't be Photoshopped (not by someone with my limited skill anyway)

I've used the wifi calling from my house, as the TMO coverage is a little spotty here, and it works flawlessly (with or without GV). '

I turned on wifi tethering, but didn't pair up a device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] spovat:
Hey stry, sorry I hadn't seen your post. That does look pretty legit to me but its still strange that more people haven't taken similar stills. Where do you liive btw?

Some of us care about what we write, do some legwork, and end up vindicated in the end. This is as close as my editor will let me get to saying "**** You" to everyone involved in the rootkit bull****.

For the record, I have about 50 people ready and waiting to fire me a device log just as soon as they see an update notification, as well as my own G2 printing the device log to an ever growing file on my home server via adb, in case I'm not available when it happens. As soon as we get a file location, or a copy of the package, I'll be at work letting the world know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheArtiszan:
Yeh my phone is prompting to apply update but I hit dismiss. did get alogcat to work and emailed to self but not seeing anything for link yet. I can upload but there is nothing of worrth in it. I reboot the phone and started logcat again waiting again to prompt to try and get the link.

Diein for this update need wifi calling in my apartment I get absolutely no service in here.. :/
[G2 and Desire Z General] ShaunMichael80:
All those APN settings are standard in their Customer Service software in their computer...it has zero to do with their ability to handle things. They only know what it tells them in their computer. There for they will know nothing about an OTA update
[G2 and Desire Z General] karlherr:
Sorry if you got lumped into my generalization. The Android community and it's contributors blow me away on a daily basis. Android Central is a site that I hit multiple times a day and have respect for. My gripe is more associated with the larger general tech sites.

In any event you can add me to the list of people with logcat running in hopes of getting the OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
dont quote me on this, because i've never actually done this before, but i think you have to hit go on the update for it to start downloading from the google server, and show up in the log file. the other option that was mentioned was to pick the install later option and have it save directly to the SD Card.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sheek360:

[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
anything in /data/app? might need temp root to get this though.

here is my stock G2 /system/app directory:
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvachon:
This seems interesting to me. I have a non-updated G2 and I do not have this. Also the name of the company who makes the software is Kineto. KNT and Kineto are close enough that it might warrant a look.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbhil:
Look up ^^ :)

open the MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02.apk with a file archiver and check the icon. WiFi calling on Android is through Kineto

Better yet -- assuming you're running windows

Create the folder C:\G2

At the command prompt,from the SDK\tools folder --

adb pull /system/app/ C:\G2\

then zip up the G2 folder and post it somewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
good call. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryf3:
Here it is. The icon is the wifi calling one.
