Samsung Hercules - T-Mobile's Galaxy S II Variant - Pictured, 4.5" Display Confirmed

Posted by in Galaxy S II, Hercules, News, T-Mobile

Still holding out for the mythical (pun intended) Samsung Hercules, leaked via a T-Mobile roadmap a couple months back? While we don't have any pricing or release info just yet (though that September 26 release date certainly seems possible), TmoNews has gotten a hold of a few pictures of the device that confirmed it as the 4.5" Galaxy S2 T-Mobile variant.

These pictures don't confirm everything that is rumored about the phone, but they do have some good information in them:

  • The Hercules will officially be marketed as a Galaxy S2 phone
  • Runs Android 2.3
  • TeleNav GPS Navigator and Netflix pre-installed
  • 4.5" display
  • TouchWiz 4.0
  • 8 megapixel camera
  • Four capacitive buttons (unlike the international version of the GS2)

Yeah, September can't come soon enough.

For today only, you can head over to your local Best Buy and grab some stock-Android goodness for absolutely nothing. The best part? This deal is good for any of the three applicable carriers - 3G on T-Mobile or AT&T, or the 4G variant on Sprint.

Need a reminder on the specs of this device? Here you go:

T-Mobile Updates myTouch 4G Support Page, Will Offer In-Store Gingerbread Updates On August 5th

Posted by in myTouch 4G (Glacier), News, T-Mobile

Less than a week ago, T-Mobile announced that Gingerbread would be rolling out to a limited number of myTouch 4G users on June 20th, with a broader rollout hitting all customer by the end of the year. In a strange twist, the Magenta Carrier updated the myTouch 4G support page this morning stating that:

Beginning August 5, you will be able to go to  a T-Mobile retail store to update your T-Mobile myTouch 4G to the most recent software version. This helps if you have not gotten the Over-The-Air (OTA)  update.

The document goes on to provide users some caveats to be aware of in case the update fails; such as data loss, application loss, the amount of time that the update will take in such a case, and a detailed process of what the tech will do to your device.

T-Mobile G2 Gingerbread Update Rolling Out Now

Posted by in G2 (Vision), News, T-Mobile


About a week ago, a seemingly official build of Gingerbread for the T-Mobile G2 found its way to T-Mo's support forums, suggesting an update was fast approaching. That suggestion was dead-on, as the official over-the-air update process started today, according to the Pinkest Carrier's G2 update page.

The update brings many welcome fixes and enhancements:

  • New features:
    • Android  2.3.3 (Gingerbread)
    • Tell HTC
    • Google  Books added
    • Notification bar color scheme is changed to black
    • New  battery indicator, phone, and web icons
    • Color-coded network icon and signal indicator added. Green when connected to Google  servers. Grey when not connected.
    • Pressing the power key while on a call disables the proximity sensor
  • Fixed or improved  issues:
    • Wi-Fi calling improvements
    • New SMS and email notification improvements
    • Improvements to sending MMS from the Gallery

You'll automatically be prompted to install the update when it's available on your device, but for those who just can't bear to wait, head into the menu, tap Settings >  About Phone > System Updates to check for it manually.

T-Mobile Announces The HTC Wildfire S, Coming August 3rd For $80 After MIR

Posted by in News, T-Mobile, Wildfire S / Wildfire 2 (Marvel)

T-Mobile announced its newest midrange handset today: the HTC Wildfire S. The Wildfire S is a great middle-of-the-road phone for anyone on a budget, with somewhat modest specs:

HTC Wildfire S_

  • 3.2 inch 320x480 display
  • 800MHz single-core processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • SD Card slot
  • 5MP rear shooter
  • Android 2.3 with HTC Sense

It may not be the hottest phone on the planet, but at least it has a decent amount of RAM for multitasking, and Android 2.3 runs great on slower hardware (I'm trying to be optimistic here).

As far as color choices are concerned, T-Mo retail stores will have an all white version available, while Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and T-Mo's online shop get exclusive rights to the black iteration.

[Leak] Official Gingerbread Build For The HTC G2 Lands On The T-Mobile Support Forum

Posted by in G2 (Vision), News

The T-Mobile G2 has seen its fair share of ups and downs, teases, and leaks of Gingerbread, but it appears the time of release is nearly upon us. A user over at the T-Mobile support forums has dropped a leaked version of the official Gingerbread build for the G2 for all to download and install. The post puts strong emphasis on the fact that this is the exact same version that ended up on some refurbished handsets - so I assume that it's the real deal.

If you plan on pushing this update to your phone, there are a few caveats you should be aware of:

  • No 3-button reset
  • Long pressing the camera button makes the phone vibrate
  • One you update, you cannot root
  • Some users have reported backlight issues with the keyboard

If you're cool with those things, then head over to the T-Mobile Support Forum for download and full installation instructions.

It's Official: Gingerbread Hits T-Mobile G2x, Available Now Through LG Mobile Software Updater

Posted by in G2x (p999), Gingerbread 2.3, News, T-Mobile

In an "lolwut" moment, LG announced via their forums today that Gingerbread for the G2x would come "by summer".... and then the update landed approximately an hour later.

g2x_gbread_update g2x_gbread

The current software is V21e and can be downloaded via LG's proprietary Mobile Software Updater, as shown above. Reports are just starting to trickle in, but we do know the update is 178MB and brings GRI40, or Android 2.3.3. Before downloading and installing the update, you should know that it will break root. Other than that... well, we don't know a whole lot yet, but we'll update if we hear any more major details.
