You may have noticed a text message from T-Mobile in the past couple of days about an OTA update coming to you soon. A few of us got excited that it might be Android 2.2 love, but alas, it’s just a minor update with a couple of improvements. All MyTouch Slide users should receive a notification on their phone to download and install the update soon. If you don’t get the update by August 19th, you may want to call customer service.
Improvements include:
1. Battery Life:
- Updates to the T-Mobile online contact backup connection, which will improve battery life.
2. Wi-Fi:
- Ability to send MMS messages when connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Genius Button improvements:
- Ability to turn GPS on and off using your voice, such as “Turn GPS on.”
- Will announce Caller ID for incoming voice calls and allow you to “Answer” or “Ignore” using your voice.
- Will announce incoming text messages and allow you to “reply” with dictation.
4. Faves Gallery improvements:
- The Faves icon will be displayed beside notifications that appear while the device is locked to indicate that the communication is coming from one of your Faves.
- Fave photo display speed will be enhanced.
General stability will be improved, including more seamless scrolling and consistent display of photos.
