T-Mobile G2

HTC’s on a roll with their bootloader unlock program as they have added support for six new devices today. Those devices include the  HTC Desire Z, ChaCha, Aria, DROID Incredible, Status, and T-Mobile G2. While some of these devices already have community-developed methods it’s always good to see official support from the OEMs. Head to [...]

atlp99 over on XDA was able to get a hold of the official Android 2.3.4 update for the G2 straight from those SD cards HTC sent out to T-Mobile stores to manually update customers. If human interaction makes you nervous or you’re simply too busy this weekend to drop by a store you can get [...]

If you have an Android device on T-Mobile and your battery life is suddenly not what it once used to be, there may be a bigger issue at hand.

Nope, instead they’ll soon be allowing you to get your updates over-the-wire in-store. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, sure, but if you’ve gotten sick of all [...]

We’ve gotten more than enough emails in our inbox to sit down and report this one. Apparently, starting on Tuesday, the T-Mobile G2 has been giving users plenty of trouble in the battery department. Some users have reported full depletion after six hours of use. Some will go to bed at night and take their [...]

T-Mobile promised it’d be here “very soon”, and here we are – the T-Mobile G2 has gotten its Android 2.3 upgrade. It’s going out over the air over the coming weeks so don’t fret if you aren’t in the first wave. It also wouldn’t hurt to do a manual check and see if you get [...]

This is different. TMo News came across this internal memo from T-Mobile informing stores that they will begin receiving SD cards from HTC for use when updating customers’ devices. Apparently, some customers will receive a text message to come into a T-Mobile location where a sales rep will update their device to the latest software [...]

Still waiting on Gingerbread for your G2 from T-Mobile? If you’d rather take your chances on what appears to be a leaked build of the update posted on T-Mobile’s community, you probably won’t have to wait much longer. It’s said that this update is the same one that was appearing on some refurbished G2s, so [...]

Netflix’s recent plan changes have you bummed? The folks at Hulu, instead of increasing prices, are adding devices. Yes, that rhyme was awesome. Today, four new Android devices were added to the stable of Hulu Plus-capable players. These include the HTC EVO 4G, the T-Mobile G2, The T-Mobile myTouch 4G and the HTC Thunderbolt. All [...]

It hasn’t even been a year since its release and the T-Mobile G2 already seems to be headed to the Android phone graveyard. TmoNews has received evidence of the device’s retirement on Magenta. Users can’t find the device on T-Mobile.com and you might be hard-pressed to find it in one of their corporate stores. It’s [...]

T-Mobile had initially planned to hold their late night “insomnia” sale during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, but for reasons unknown pushed the whole affair back a couple of days. The good news is the after hours sale is definitely on for tonight starting at 9AM PDT and ending at 3AM PDT. For us [...]

Lots and lots of stuff from T-Mobile today that I’m sure plenty of you will love. Firstly, they’re finally bringing back unlimited WiFi calling. If you have access to a WiFi network and your signal strength is spotty you can use WiFi calling (on a select number of T-Mobile phones) to ensure you and the [...]

While the HTC EVO 4G was the first device to get some Sense 3.0 port love from the folks at XDA, it wasn’t perfect and was just barely usable as a daily driver.Many of you have flashed it and reverted back to your previous ROMs. The only way you’re going to get a fully-working Sense [...]

911 Sniper keeps things rolling as they’ve leaked new ROMs that I’m sure will be highly sought after. First off is the T-Mobile G2 – yes, folks, it’s getting Gingerbread and they already have a build for developers to download and get to work on. And if you folks want something for devices a bit [...]

G2 owners felt dissed after T-Mobile announced the G2x would be getting Gingerbread “soon”, and rightfully so – their device is stock Android and it was out long before the G2x. T-Mobile says they aren’t forgotten, though, as they’ve confirmed via Twitter that the G2 will indeed be getting Gingerbread. Go ahead and put that [...]

T-Mobile just tweeted that they’re having a deal on their entire 4G lineup for all you “night owls.” If you act fast, you can get any of their 4G handsets for the low, low price of FREE! Better hurry! Deal is only valid until 3AM PST so get moving! Be sure to let me know [...]

It’s not often we see prices getting bumped up – they’re usually going on sale. But the T-Mobile G2 and MyTouch 4G have both gone from $199.99 after a mail-in rebate to $249.99 without a rebate option. Not technically a price bump as you’ve always had to pay $250 at the point of sale, but [...]

With AT&T and Verizon all set to unleash their first 4G handsets with two HTC devices (the Inspire 4G and Thunderbolt, respectively), the four major US carriers will soon all carry at least one 4G Android smartphone.
