How will we know when it's available at AT&T ? Do they usually have a press release or something ? Should I just call the store periodically ?
Thanks

Logic needed?
AT&T isn't going to send you a text message, they aren't going to call you, and they aren't going to show up at your home or work. You'll know when the Tilt/8925 is released with AT&T when it's either a) Posted here, b) You call or visit an AT&T store every day until it's released, or c) You visit AT&T's website until you see something posted on this particular subject.

What do you mean, they really wont send me a text message. What if I tell them that I really really want it?
Ok just got off the phone with HTC-americas main dealer and this is what he said after doing some checking. ATT gets it 1st witch we all knew already. Also it showed a Launch date of sept again we knew this.
With a bit more checking he said it showed in his comp that They will be selling it on the 14th with orders going out on the 18th meaning the 11th date could very well be the date ATT goes live with theres.
Again this is right from HTC sales site so info sould be correct.

Im awaitin on that there text mesage that that racer dude is sending out hehe no search needed.......man I wish someone would post something about the availibility of that kaiser phone....hehe what a funny post that was.

Yup...really sick of my 8125..been browsing every site multiple times a day trying to find a hint of the actual release. Really itching to get this phone!
Are some of you people stupid, or are you unable to read.
My question had NOTHING to do with "when will it be available"
My question had EVERYTHING to do with "what sort of notification will there be"
I'm merely looking for some input from people who have been around for previous phone launches (8125,8525) and have experience with
how AT&T did their release.

Writing things like that to people who are experienced with phone launches is not the way to invite their help. You asked for advice and they gave it. Can't we all just get along? We are all excited with the release of such a marvelous creation
Btw...Hello fellow members!
Here let me put this a way you can understand then.
You will know when you see it up on there site. If you dont know where to look then just ask rather then being a Jackass about it. on the ATT site click support then forums there is a section called announcements it will be post there.
Also you can visit the HTC americas site to see when its live here. Noone is going to hold your hand and txt call or whatever you when its avil you will eather A. have to wait till someone takes pity on you and post here or B. be a big boy and learn to check there sites for yourself.

Rule #422 dont be an asshole. If you post a question such as this at a time like this it is bound to go off topic at some point. However calling people "stupid" or say they cant read just makes you sound like an idiot yourself. Speaking as a fellow noob, I will say that this site has been the best resource I have found anywhere...period. So my advice is dont be rude simply because it went off topic.
Now in regard to your question on at&t previous launches, they suck. I followed the 8125 for a while but was new and didnt really know what I was missing so I at least wasnt losing my mind. The 8525 on the other hand was a different story, lost my freaking mind. I watched several supposed launch dates come and go and it was finally released in November. My way of dealing with this is just have fun with it, trust that it will be worth it, and save some extra cash back while waiting. I personally dont believe we'll see it as soon as everyone thinks though. I hope Im wrong but you could just call it a gut feeling.

Thanks amigo, I appreciate the info. I guess I was just wondering if they'd make it obvious when it was available (web site update) or if you had to go looking for one (calling around to different stores, etc)

Trust me, you will know when AT&T releases this phone! With so much hype just about the rumor dates, imagine when it finally gets released. You won't even have to check their website or visit a store, you will just about see it everywhere.
I hope that it doesn't cost a but load for the service. think Tmobile will get it any time in the next two years? I like Tmobile because I can tweak my plan and have more freedom it feels like; off topic, yes, but why not chat since nobody knows the answer to the thread other than soon
well - in the SF Bay area a rep checked and said she couldnt say when it was going to be released.. after a little pressing she mentioned end of the month was all she could say.
for all its worth
I was speaking with an HTC US customer service rep about my new TYTN II that I had just received and he said "did you know AT&T is releasing it on Oct 1?"
for what it's worth
As Swype is only available as a closed beta or as release within an OEM build, it should not be posted, or linked on XDA.
I'm the beta community relations rep for Swype (Brian Resnik, if you're over on the Swype forums).
First of all, yes we're watching you HAHA. I'm obligated to wag my finger at you all for distributing our software without a license. A little patience will go a long way. Trust me, the more the brass hears about people illegally copying Swype and feeling entitled to a free version (yes, we know there's no copy on the market for you to buy, but you have to respect that OEM distribution is our chosen business model), the less they want to support a beta program at all. The better we play nice with eachother, the sooner more people get into the beta!

Swype has updated their page with the new beta instructions. It appears at this point to be a limited public beta, as it will only be available for a couple of days, and requires you to enter your email address to get the download.
So threads with download links will still not be allowed.

When they take off the stupid download limit for the Beta for registered testers, I'll actually support not posting links.

Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to know whether I should not download it too many times, but backup&install it instead.
Gents,
I think Ive abused my swype membership --- ive installed it maybe at least 30 times on two phones since March. I've lost the "swype" function and it is basically a nice blue HTC_IME standin. No complaints, but wheres the swype at on Swype?
Droid X comes with it stock. Beautiful app. I might have known someone (a friend of course) who hooked his friends up with Swype on their HTC Eris's. He told me that he went and Googled it and found it pretty quick.

I understand that you have chosen a particular business model. I think however that it is unfair that it is not sold via the Android Market. What about phones like the Nexus One which now is an official developers phone? The Nexus One did not come with Swype and I would like to have the option to use it. (And yes, I did sign up at swypeinc's website waiting for the beta to reopen) Unless you give people the chance to purchase your product people will find ways around your chosen business model. I haven't myself downloaded the apk and I agree xdadevelopers should heed your warning.
I'm not really sure what the hang up is for the swype "brass." This program is being released on select phones already, right? Plus I've never heard complaints about it and would love to try it too. I'd gladly pay for something like this (after a trial) so I'm not really sure what the deal is.
Most of us love new software to play with and improve our phones with. However, a big turn-off for us can also be controlling companies like this. If they don't start providing us a valid route to buy or at least use this product, then they're going to lose in the end. The community is large enough we can throw together our own program to do this crap. Hell, shapewriter keyboard already does this and is free to boot and since I can't even use swype, it might as well not exist in the realm of gesture-based keyboards as far as I'm personally concerned.
I must concur with the rest of the community when I say that choosing not to retail a highly requested, fully functional app shows that the Swype folks are off their rockers. However, if they don't want us to obtain their app and lose customers as a result, that is their prerogative. I'm sure most of us will just find the APKs elsewhere online.

why cant we tether with at&t? why have they moved their data down to 2gb from 5? why do we have at&t programs that we are not supposed to uninstall? how come every time i go into at&t and ask about 2.2 and they tell me samsung reps say next week? (that's been for 4 weeks now).
REASON:
AT&T likes to piss us off.....
At least that's the only plausible reason I can think of....
Real answer: ATT loves the iphone, and only the iphone.
Because the Android update goes through AT&T servers and they don't want to get hammered? I think it's dumb sure - but it is one of the few smart things AT&T has done.
The iPhone uses iLuserTunes which goes through Apple's network for pushing updates etc..
I renamed /dbdata/databases/wssdmdatabase.db and rebooted and was able to try to d/l again. The file was then recreated.
YMMV you brick it, you did it.
Also does fota use our data or is it like" free"

Uhhhh, its because they don't want everyone at the same time downloading android to crash their servers, I figured that one was pretty self explanatory, and the reason the att store reps keep telling you the wrong date is.... BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW. ATT store reps are not kept in the loop about ANYTHING. They don't know when phones will be released, they dont know when their shipments are coming in, so how would they know when a company is gonna release 2.2 when we cant even get that information directly from the company ourselves.

Nope, saw that, figured settings had to be in a db somewhere since android is so db centric. Now maybe someone with app experience can build a app to fix the last updated time in this db for us for next time.
why is this thread in the "android development" subforum in the first place? and not the "captivate general" forum. Theres like 3-4 threads already started in the general.

I know but its funny to hear them act like they have inside scoop. That's why I always ask.
I am trying to get Touchdown pro to sync with my work exchange server but I keep getting caught in a endless loop of sync. When I view the logs I keep seeing "Exception: cannot get IMEI number". Has anyone else had this problem with Touchdown Pro on their g tablet? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me on this one.
This exact same thing is happening to me, wow. Just Googled it and you showed up.
Looking for a fix... the app looks like it'd be so sick for the G-Tab...
So since this is a WIFI only tablet with no radio it seems to me the device simply cannot have an IMEI.
So maybe we could spoof it somehow? I'm looking for an app.
It seems really weird to me that Touchdown needs an IMEI to sync. Especially when the native Exchange support for Android works fine on this tablet. Ugh.
Yeah I am lost on this one. Touchdown Pro says it will work on ALL android tablets so I have to think there is a work around here.
Well especially since they went out of their way to make a "tablet mode"... grrr. So frustrated, I really want it to work.
Either app-side or spoofing IMEI.
I emailed support, but I suspect it wont get fixed till the next release. I would be interested in a work around. I do have the stock email working fine but touchdown wont work.
I need my subfolders....
Plus it looks great in tablet mode.
Do we even know for sure if the g tablet has an IMEI number? If so, where do we find out what it is?
Afaik a device has no use for an IMEI without a cellular radio.
Then the question becomes, is there a way to turn off or disable the part of Touchdown Pro that looks for the IMEI? A few people have said that they have been able to get Touchdown Pro working but yet no one is saying how they have been able to do so.
And clearly this is a hurdle they would have had to get past... grr. Stupid devs for implementing this "feature."
I have been chatting with tech support, they want a log file after the connect fails but I am unsure where to find that in Touchdown. Any ideas where to look?

From support:
Hi Richard,
I was able to look into this today for you and found that the Wifi only devices do not connect for the very reason you suggested, there is no IMEI number. Our developer will be in sometime in the next week or so. We will be conferring with him about this but in the meantime, you are correct. There is no way for us to connect on a Wifi only tablet at this time. Would you mind checking in with us now and then to check the progress?
Regards,
Kerri
I love it.... their developer "will be in within the next week or so". So I am guessing it will be at least a month until we have a fix for this from Touchdown Pro. I guess we are back to option #2 figure out a way to spoof or bypass the line of code that looks for the IMEI number. By chance would anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
As a side note, I guess it is safe to assume that all of the folks claiming to have Touchdown Pro working on their G Tablet are just full of shi.....

Or have run something that pushed a 'fake IMEI' to one of their sqlite DBs... so would be nice if we could figure out which and format of a valid IMEI...
EDIT: turns out the IMSI is in DB... the IMEI is read via RIL from Hardware... thus not something that can be changed in a typical way...
They asked me to email them in the beginning of the week for an update. I think they are concerned about it not working. Wifi only tablets are not going away & its in their best interest to make it work.
Well, it looks like we should start looking at another solution. I guess if we dont have a 3G tablet, it wont work.
Hi Richard,
I talked to the developer and this issue is not on our roadmap in the near future. They may be looking into it sometime in the next quarter, but at this point, it is not something they are actively working on. I’m very sorry.

We were planning on purchasing 100+ licenses for our sales group's wifi-only tablets. I'll be sure to let them know they lost a large order...
I just emailed the following to NitroDesk support:
**********
Dear Support,
It is my understanding that your product does not support WiFi-only Android tablets. I am a member of XDA Developers, a large community of mobile device developers. I read a recent posting on the XDA forum where a member of your support team stated that adding support for WiFi-only tablets is “not on the roadmap” and will not be supported in the near future.
This is a huge mistake on your part.
As the Vice President and Information Technology Manager of a large community Bank, I am responsible for the procurement and implementation of all technology. We recently deployed over 100 WiFi-only Android tablets to our Board of Directors, sales force, and lending group. I have always been a fan of TouchDown, but your apparent disregard of an obvious flaw in your software has left me with no choice but to abandon your product. I was planning on purchasing 100+ licenses of TouchDown for our tablets, but since your product is completely broken I will instead purchase 100+ copies of DataViz’s RoadSync application. RoadSync not only works on WiFi-only tablets, but is also half the price of TouchDown.
I wish your company the best of luck as you lose yet another large customer of your product due to your misguided management and development teams.
**********
I got a fast response back from NitroDesk support. Richard, maybe you can contact Goutham and let him know who gave you the inaccurate information???
**********
That is not true anymore, things have changed perhaps since that posting, our latest beta is now designed to work even without an IMEI number (lack of which was basically the issue with Wifi only devices).
While it may take a while for us to push that to the market, it is definitely something we are not walking away from.
the beta is available here : http://groups.google.com/group/nitrodesk/web/installing-the-latest-beta
While I am not sure I may not be able to get you to try touchdown over RoadSync, i do appreciate you making the effort of checking back with us.
We are working on a lot of new exciting MDM/security/policy related work at this time, that the ETA for this hitting the market itself may be a couple months.
Thanks and regards

Hello,
I've been lurking these forums for a while and decided to register. After considering installing a custom ROM on my vivid idly for months, I've decided to go through with it.
I think I've decided I want to use WCX Illuminati, however I've been having trouble with their forums. Every time I go to their website I am greeted with a bulletin stating "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." I've thoroughly searched these forums, and have found that this could indicate one of two things, the board could be closed while Wild Child is uploading a new update, or registration could be closed.
I've been checking the WCX forums 2-3 times daily since Friday, and have still gotten the same bulletin message which casts some doubt on the uploading a new ROM theory, but Google's cache of the site from Friday morning shows that it was running normally then. I've also noticed the the portion of the WCX forum for logging in is working perfectly while the register portion gives the same "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." message, which could mean that registrations are closed.
I figure there are at least a few regulars that come both here and there, so I guess this would be the best place to seek help.
Are there any ways I can get to the WCX site, and if not, What ROMs do you guys recommend?
Thanks.
