T-Mobile Finds myTouch's Missing Megapixel, Updates Device To Build C85B839SP03

Posted by in Gingerbread 2.3, myTouch, News, T-Mobile

Owners of T-Mobile's Huawei-made myTouch can begin anxiously tapping "software update" now – the carrier is rolling out a minor update to software build C85B839SP03. Among other things, this update fixes the myTouch device's "missing megapixel" problem, allowing the camera to "realize [its] full 5.0 Mega Pixel resolution."

The update also allows users to opt out of Carrier IQ, and brings a "compose" button to the Email app, and adds call-related bug fixes. Here's the full change log from T-Mo's website:

If you own a T-Mobile myTouch, keep an eye out for the OTA prompt, or head to Settings > About Phone > Software Update and grab the update manually.
