i noticed by your icon. sorry about your lose though. when i got mine it just felt perfect in my hands.. like the best quality in a phone ive ever felt. the usb was really tight as well, im afraid ill break the one on the mt4g lol. yeah i cant believe they ALREADY got WP7 on it, i knew they would but not within a month or so.. i just cant wait till it gets port to android (if it can). i really did hate WM6.5 though even though i had energy rom lol. i had mine for about 20 minutes maybe and traded it back for my old mytouch slide HUGE MISTAKE. i had to though cause my sim card wouldnt work in it cause i have prepaid and WM doesnt read prepaid >_< only reason id want to dual boot to WM7 is cause the games on it are cool and the ui is clean as ever and i love the transitions.

I really dislike how quickly a brand new phone gets pushed aside by an even better battalion of even newer ones. I got my Mytouch 4g on Christmas and will hate to see it topped by mid 2011 :(

You cant keep up with technology... you buy a 2011 car... five month later a 2012 car is release... what I'm trying to say is stick with the old technology until it can't keep up with the new tech... yes I seen this super phone and I knew about it when I bought my mytouch 4G... why I didn't wait for it to be release... because I know its going to cost my bank card and my.cc

I just wish the Atrix 4G was made by HTC and supported T-Mo HSPA+ band (supports all other T-Mo bands despite being an AT&T phone)

Update coming 2/28. Customers will have to go into a store to receive the update. Also, Cricket will be re-releasing the Zio with 2.2 pre-installed.

As of tonight, the Zio is still scheduled for a Febuary release of 2.2. As I've said before, 2.1 is going to be skipped it seems.

Other news:

Cricket will be getting the LG Optimus, as well as an android tablet (samsung I believe) soon.

Updated info will be given to you guys as soon as I get it.

Edit: see below for screens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
I've been following your info from the thread and the info from the cricket facebook page and it seems pretty consistent but we usually hear it from you first so I'm pretty confident in what you have been saying. Keep us updated. I realized the response about when we will be getting our update changed from mid February to just "soon". Is this because we may be getting the update sooner than mid Feb?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LiuAnshan:
Looking forward to some kind of update in the near future hopefully.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlaalu:
I have some cool news coming for you guys hopefully tomorrow. It's an email confirming the 2.2 update :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
Can't wait.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlaalu:
Here you go, screenshots of the email confirming 2.2.

Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
Looks pretty official. One thing that's on my mind, it says the zio will be Available to buy with froyo already on it in late Feb early March. What it says about the update is that it will be available " very soon". Does that sound right? So we may be able to update before then. (I had a dream last night that my phone updated itself to 2.2. It was awesome)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlaalu:
Here is what is going on from my understanding. We are going to stop selling the Zio with 1.6, and I guess re-release it with the 2.2 in a month or so. Exsisting owers WILL still get the update, although I haven't been able to confirm if it is OTA or not.

You know how those company facebook pages are, they aren't really company employees, just hired "bloggers" if you will. I never trust what I read from those things.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
I understand that we will get the update but the question is when. I'm hoping by early to mid Feb. Do you know when it will be or can you get a estimated date. I'm going nuts checking on it all the time. The only information we have is that it will be available " very soon" or " in the very near future". That makes me feel like it can be any day now. Are they going to inform you in advance right when its released?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlaalu:
Trust me, you'll know the date when I find out. As of now, I don't have one for you :(

From my experience on how cricket does things, I would guess the update will be available after we start selling the new Zio with 2.2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
Haven't heard anything new, guy?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
Word on the street is that we will be getting the update on the fifteenth. Any info on that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aago1254:
if it happens

you will know when the update will happen you will get a text explaining the update process. so there is really no reason to keep checking. :confused: I have ended my search on the upgrade since personally i feel its never going to happen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abmontano:
If you believe its not gonna happen you dont read much do ya?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
What ever happened to the Guy who started this thread who was supposedly going to give us inside info on the update because he works for cricket? he hasn't

posted here in about a month.

I'm on a Zio by Cricket as well. Today is the 22nd of Feb. I called Cricket support this morning and the person on the phone just told me 2 min. ago that the upgrade has not been released to the costomers yet. They said when it gets released they are going to notify me/you I guess on your phone that there is an upgrade for the phone and I guess what is needed to get the phone upgraded. The person I spoke to stated that they have no idea when it will be released and that they were still working on the upgrade and phone. He changed his tune when I explained to him that in a forum I am registered with a person explained that he/she let us know he spoke to 1 of the corp. reps in person, and the guy stated it was already tested on the phone and that Cricket already got the Ok to let the costomers upgrade that it will be out between the 22nd, (today) - 28th (next week). Once I told him that he just studdered and stated that he wasn't sure that they were never notified of this so on and so on.

Sorry if this reply conflics with any of the posts here.

I called Cricket support this morning and the person on the phone just told me 10 min. ago that the upgrade has not been released to the costomers yet.

Either way, when they do release the upgrade you will receive a txt about it. I was also told that when released I would have to goto a Corp store in my area and they will have to do the upgrade. Now when I called the Corp store in my area, I got an automated system that kept saying (please enter your area code and phone number), but everytime I tried to do so it would tell me it didn't reconize my response (I FKEN HATE AUTOMATED BS), so I'm not sure whether it would tell me the release date for my area or not if that junk auto crap would work I may have been able to better post a response here. I will try again after I calm down from dealing with it for an hour. If anyone is in the NJ area or would like to call the number for the Audubon NJ store for there self, it will give several options and option 1 will take you to an automated support crap is where I ended up, here is the number for that store. (856-546-2304). If you get anywhere with it please leave a post or reply to this post so we know whats up with them. ty. If I get an answer to this I will surely let you all know what I find out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoohoo51:
the zio has been removed from the web site, the only reason i bought this phone was because it was the best phone offered at the time and i was ASSURED it would be getting the update soon.

i have great doubts it will be supported any further and i reccomend a class action suit against cricket for this.

we were all blaitently lied to and decieved into purching this phone that has a two year old OS and a just plain refusal to support. sprint has theirt updates so you know its not sanyo

im looking at what company to move to over this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:
Huh? The update was just released today. Maybe hold off on that lawsuit. Lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoohoo51:
it did ? some one has it ? if so where and how do i get it ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlaalu:
Don't post in this thread if you feel like spreading rumors and want to get a class action lawsuit going(lol) Seriously, has anyone even said so much as a thank you to me for keeping you guys in the loop? :rolleyes:

Update will be released in different markets and different times, the earliest being today (I have the zio update disc in my computer as I type this) and the latest being March 28th.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hman07:
my 2 cents

I did a quick google n found a downloadable 2.2 update. Gritted my teeth held my breath n installed it. Volia. I now have 2.2.1 installed!!! Works like a dream. let your fingers do the googling.... btw, big thanks hlaalu for all the inside nfo!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IP IHI II IL:
I've asked a few questions here, on different threads regarding the Galaxy Tab from Sprint, and no one seems to want to address the thing. Is my version of the Tab cursed, or infected or something? Every thread I've read tip toes around whether or not something will work on the SPH-P100, and for the most part states that their super special something or other will not work on the Sprint Tab. I'm just wondering first, why are there SOOO many different versions of the Tab, and second, why will nothing work on the Sprint Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100)?

Any insight would greatly comfort me...lol
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuregerald:
yes! I see this too! I keep wondering if I should go return it or something. to be honest I would have gotten the Verizon version if they had it in stock but after reading these forums I feel like I should've went with the t-mo version!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlpineM3:
The lack of ROM's and support for the Sprint version of the tab has kept me from rooting.....no point right now. Needless to say its very frustrating right now, but I haver faith in the Dev's. They always seem to come through
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcibiade:
Honestly even for AT&T or T-Mobile contributions are still poor compared with many other phones on xda. At least the ones I used to own. But yeah way worse for Sprint/Verizon

That said it makes sense: he tab has been out only for a small period of time, it's expensive and not many devs have it... Hopefully with time you will get more support. If the tab is not left in the shadow too quickly by the new Tegra 2 tablets (Hipefully they wont't be out before May/June in which case more people will go for the SGT)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mklass:
Think Im gonna sell mine soon. The lack of input and hacking compared to lets say the HTC Desire which is what I used to have is unreal.

People keep saying wait and Dev's will jump on but the Desire modding and roms started straight away..

On a side not the tab will not be able to run Honeycomb which is a real downer :(

Look at how good honeycomb looks....

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IP IHI II IL:
thank Andy, it's more than just me!

I still love my Tab, it's great, but everyone's right. I too have kept from rooting mine just because of the lack of (I won't say support, since it's no one's "job" to hack) access to more info.

I've been an XDA member since I got my EVO when that bad boy first came out, and I LOVE all of the devs, and their "products" for that. I guess when I got my Tab for (a couple weeks before) Christmas, I expected to see a huge list of ROMS, custom made apps, and themes, but as it was said before, they ARE pretty expensive (don't know, or wanna' know how my GF got it for me....lol) and as far as I can see, they're really only popular in countries OTHER than the US... I guess I'm being impatient, but I WANNIT I WANNIT I WANNIT (and by "IT" I mean what I want...lol)

Thanks for the support, guys! I'll toss it out that I have and am always willing to donate to a dev who does the job right, whether it be Alpha, or RC I never mooch! Hard work is hard work, and I try to make it as worth a dev's time as I can. That being said, if ANY DEV is looking for a tester, hit me up!

Thanks again guys, this is the first thread I've posted to get a REAL response!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:
Perhaps you all should start a bounty fund?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Once you get outside of North America, you'll find there's really only one Tab.

The problem you have is three fold:

1. Outside of North America, pretty much all Tabs are GSM. That isn't a hard and fast rule, but it's close enough to make no difference. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA networks, so require different treatment to GSM Tabs. Almost all of the newer ROMs we are seeing for the Tab are GSM ROMs.

2. Most GSM networks outside of North America operate their 3G networks at 2100MHz, which is uncommon in North America. In the US, AT&T and T-Mobile both use frequencies that are completely incompatible with one another, so you can't take a TMo Tab and use it with 3G on AT&T and vice versa. Ironically though, you could bring either to Europe and they'd work fine as both support 2100MHz even if their respective networks do not.

3. It seems that pretty much all the US carriers can't just ship a device as standard and have to screw around with it in some way, almost always to the detriment of the consumer. Verizon Tabs have less internal memory than all other Tabs, and no US Tabs ship with voice functionality out of the box.

From an outsiders perspective, the cellular market in the US is deeply insular, and very uncompetitive. You can't easily take a phone from one network and run it on another due to incompatible technologies and/or frequencies making switching networks that much harder. Costs seem very high too when compared to the UK.

I'm heading over to FL for 6.5 weeks tomorrow, and to serve my needs I'm going to get a Virgin Mobile MiFi out there with prepaid data for use with my Desire HD and Tab, and use my existing Tracfone for calls. When I travel to Europe, I can usually pick up a cheap prepaid SIM with decent voice and data allowances, but this doesn't seem to be much of an option in the US - best I can find is Simple Mobile, but I'd need a phone with TMo US frequencies!

Dave

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:
Unless you are in Aisa, Russia, Nothern Europe, Africa, Or South America.

Really there is one tab in western Europe.

Except, see above. I have not seen a sales breakdown, but (VERY IMPLIED) SAMSUNG sais it sold 6000K units before Sprint/Verizon launched, and 1M after (supposedly as of early December figures.)

http://iphoneappstoday.com/2010/11/samsungs-global-galaxy-tab-sales-lag-behind-apple-ipad-at-600k/

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...sg=AFQjCNGyNxBY3ZxLqBRcIyopOY7t9pyoUw&cad=rja

This is the most serious concern. It cannot be overstated how important it is to get PCS devices into Devs hands. But note that the GSM devices had a two month jump on the CDMA devices. So devs bought them first. The ROM work we are seeing now is directly a result of that early jump.

Now weather there are 10 times as many GSM users is irrelevant.

A relevant question is ;

where are you located?

is the extra cost of the GSM devices is worth the extra storage you get?

are you going to travel with the device?

Are you willing to wait for a few months for the development to catch up to the GSM versions, or will that really bug you?

Are you willing to contribute to a bounty to accelerate PCS development?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
So, just because there are CDMA networks in those regions, you infer that there must be CDMA Tabs available on those networks? That's a giant leap! ;)

You'll notice that I said "That isn't a hard and fast rule" straight after I said " Outside of North America, pretty much all Tabs are GSM". On these boards and others I follow, I've not seen a *single* mention of a CDMA Tab that isn't a North American unit. Of course, there will almost certainly be an SK Telecom CDMA Tab in South Korea, and I guess it's not posted about here due to the language barrier.

What I have seen though is people posting from Russia, the Middle East, and other regions that they've bought a Verizon or Sprint Tab from the states only o find there is no network they can use them on in their home country.

I'm not sure what you are saying is implied here, but it seems to me that your saying that the Tab saw a massive jump in sales once the Tab launched on Verizon and Sprint. There seems to be no evidence whatsoever in either of those links that would indicate that IMO.

First of all, the Tab didn't launch in most of the rest of the world (UK included), until November same as the US. Secondly whilst those figures talk about worldwide sales, in relation to the US those articles talk about all 4 major US carriers, not just Sprint/Verizon , which obviously includes the two US GSM carriers.

Without firm sales figures region by region, and by device type (CDMA or GSM) it is not possible to draw any firm conclusions about Tab sales beyond simple units sold

All I am saying is that the focus is likely to be on GSM Tabs because it is a larger market, and there are *likely* to be many more of them in circulation that CDMA units.

In my experience on XDA, bounties tend not to work. If anything they further fragment an already fragmented development community. If you want to raise money for a development effort, a far better idea (IMO) would be to identify a leading developer(s) for CDMA Galaxy S devices, and offer to supply them with a Tab.

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
Its because there's a lot more of us than there are of you. Simple. Also, the tab is very expensive across the globe, and the majority of those that buy it get it unlocked and unsubsidized.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brilldoctor:
Surley someone could make a rom that would not mess with the baseband of the phone and would support all of the tabs since they have the same cpu and ram exept the new 4g verizon one which is a bit faster
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkmj:
I feel like we're going to see more dev once the wifi-only version of the Tab is released. At CES a few days ago, while everyone was talking Tegra 2, Samsung announced the wifi-ony Tab and a few minor upgrades to the current Tab. That, along with their keynote where they heavily featured the Tab, and the multiple assertions from Google that Honeycomb would be backwards compatible for "a wide range of existing devices" makes me think that Samsung is committed to its device which has, (considering the price), sold like wildfire around the world.

As I was saying, once the wifi-only version comes out, the carriers will drop their prices for the Tab, and then more devs will probably snap them up and begin developing in earnest. Right now, the tab is at least $200 more expensive than the highest end phone, even when bought on contract, so the lull in dev activity when compared to those phones makes sense. I would say, just hang on to your Tab, great things are coming, both from the devs and Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brilldoctor:
Exept to get the stuff from samsung you will have to mess with KIES (grrrrr - i own a mac and hate having to boot it into windows just to update the tab)

can't the galaxy tab from sprint be rooted? I didn't understand that point.

I bought the sprint version of the SGT just because I wanted to use it wifi only.

I can see differences on this tab compared to others like I cannot see megavideos videos directly from the webpage, it will redirect me to another page, and I have to do some tweak to get it work, I think the other versions of tabs doesn't have this issue.

and btw, my sprint galaxy tab is rooted
