Jelly Bean (4.1.1) OTA Leaks For T-Mobile's Galaxy SIII (T999)

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, Leaks, News, T-Mobile

After catching sight of Jelly Bean for Samsung's Galaxy SIII on video, then seeing a leaked build for the i9300 pop up on XDA, it looks like T-Mobile's variant of Sammy's latest powerhouse has its own leaked Jelly Bean goodness.

Earlier today, XDA user LuffarJoh posted up what seems to be an early (though enticing) OTA file for T-Mobile's Galaxy SIII (aka T999) that will bring your device up to 4.1.1. While it's exciting to get a hold of Jelly Bean for T-Mo's SIII a little it early, the OTA (which carries build JRO03L) is not without its caveats.

T-Mobile Officially Acknowledges Google Maps Reboot Bug, HTC And Google Said To Be Working On A Solution

Posted by in Applications, Google, News, T-Mobile

Last week, after Google Maps received a public transit-minded update, it became apparent that the app wasn't playing nice with the HTC Rezound. Befuddled user reports spilled in, relaying tales of inexplicable reboots and crashes. As always, the community found a solution but, unfortunately, the only solution ended up being the "uninstall updates" button.

T-Mobile today acknowledged the Maps update's issues with certain handsets, posting a support document related to the HTC Sensation 4G's problems with the app. The solution T-Mobile suggests? Hit the "uninstall updates" button. While a somewhat disappointing answer for Maps users hoping to use the app's latest iteration in peace, the post did have some good news.

[Updated x2] T-Mobile Is Canceling The Galaxy Note

Posted by in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), News, Rumors, T-Mobile
Last Updated: August 28th, 2012

After disappearing from T-Mobile's own website and appearing as backordered on others, a matter we posted on just a bit earlier today, we've heard from a very reliable industry source that T-Mobile is putting the Galaxy Note on "EOL" (end of life). We have every reason to believe this person (though they spoke on condition of anonymity), and today's events make it pretty obvious that's what's going on. The EOL date is estimated around November 1st, though that remains subject to change based on how quickly T-Mobile's remaining inventory is depleted.

Update: T-Mobile responded to our inquiry with: "The Samsung Galaxy Note is currently out of stock online via www.T-Mobile.com; however the device is still available for purchase at select T-Mobile retail stores."

This is pretty much what we expected to hear back - T-Mobile does need to clear remaining stock after all, so it makes sense for the Note to still be available at retail stores.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note Mysteriously Vanishes From T-Mobile.com And Most Third-Party Retailers

Posted by in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), News, T-Mobile

Intrigue. Mysterious disappearances. Giant phones. These can all be used to describe the recent events surrounding T-Mobile's Galaxy Note. We're not entirely sure what's going on around Team Magenta's camp, but the Note is gone. Don't believe me? Go look. I'll wait.

2012-08-23_14h10_26

Didn't find it, did you? Nope. But wait - the plot thickens. Wirefly also has the device listed as "not available," and Costco, which uses Wirefly on the backend, has the device on closeout. Not only that, but sites like Amazon and Let's Talk have the device listed as backordered; the latter even lists the shipping availability as "unknown."

Wow.

Message For You, Sir: The T-Mobile Concord Will Be Available For $99 With Or Without Contract On August 26th

Posted by in News, T-Mobile

Let's get the tough stuff out of the way up front. The T-Mobile Concord is manufactured by ZTE, runs Gingerbread, and packs a pretty meager 2MP camera. Don't worry, though. This phone shall not have been mortally wounded in vain. With a price of $99 off contract (with certain plans*) from T-Mobile or Wal-Mart, it doesn't look like too bad of a deal for smartphone users on a tight budget. If you're in the market, you can pick one of these up on August 26th.

2012-08-23_13h22_37

While most of our readers will be entirely uninterested in a Gingerbread phone made by ZTE, it's still very interesting to note that high-speed phones are becoming available for so little money.

[Update: Confirmed] T-Mobile's New Unlimited Data Plan Will Actually Be Unlimited

Posted by in News, T-Mobile

Only in the confusing realm of smartphone data plans can 'unlimited' not really mean unlimited. We started to see the big carriers cut back on all-you-can-eat data a few years ago, and T-Mobile was no different. The nation's smallest national carrier relied on vague language and semantics to justify its continued use of the word 'unlimited.' Now it looks like T-Mobile is going to finally offer real unlimited data again.

screen-shot-2012-08-21-at-7-20-51-pmwtmk

The new unlimited 4G data plan will be available starting on September 5, and it does away with all the caps and throttling that angered power users. T-Mobile will be charging a downright reasonable rate of $30 per-month for those on the classic plans, and just $20 for anyone on a value plan.

T-Mobile's Galaxy Exhibit 4G Gets A Software Update (2.3.6), But You'll Have To Go Through Kies To Get It

Posted by in Galaxy Exhibit 4G, News, T-Mobile

The T-Mobile Galaxy Exhibit 4G—formerly known as the Exhibit II 4G before a software update rebranded the device, because I guess you can do that—is receiving another update today. Sorry, it's not Ice Cream Sandwich. As a consolation prize, though, you get stability improvements and bug fixes!

2012-08-21_16h16_39

The new build (T679UVLG3) will only be available via Kies, so you'll need a desktop computer to be able to download it. Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of a significant changelog, but what we do have is right here:

Android version 2.3.6 / Software T679UVLG3 - Current Version

  • Version
    • Android version 2.3.6 / Software T679UVLG3
    • Samsung Kies Only
    • Approved 8/14/12
  • Improvements:
    • Device stability improvements
    • Bug Fixes
  • Prerequisites
    • Android version 2.3.5 / Software version T679UVLE1 update
    • Latest version of Kies software downloaded on PC or MAC
    • At least 50% battery life

So, Exhibit 4G owners, grab your micro-USB cables and get downloading!

T-Mobile MyTouch Q Review: There Are Good Budget Phones, And Then There's The MyTouch Q

Posted by in myTouch Q, News, Phone Reviews, T-Mobile

With a 1.4GHz single-core CPU, a majorly outdated version of Android, and a $50 price tag, the MyTouch Q is a hard sell to enthusiasts. (In fact, I'd bargain that literally no enthusiasts would buy it.) But as I explained just a few days ago, there's a lot more to the smartphone picture than devices that cost a few hundred dollars and can do everything short of make breakfast. A very large percentage of consumers have no desire to use their phone as a media streaming device or a mobile gaming powerhouse. They instead prefer to buy something simple that won't overwhelm them with gizmos they don't need, and save some cash in the process.
