Sidekick LX

T-Mobile today announced an update for Sidekick LX owners. A host of upgrades is promised to the existing LX users — including video recording, spell checker, play and share capabilities, an alarm clock, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), Bluetooth file transfer support, and more. The over-the-air (OTA) update will start making the rounds this week, so if you own the LX – prepare to boost your device’s capability to the Tony Hawk‘s level. ;)

  • andrew

    yea the update isn’t that good to have all this drama about it. after about 5 minutes after you get thhe update you’ll get bored of it and you’ll feel like you was geting mad and waiting so long for nothing any other questions about the update hit me on AIM-twistermess
    or at andiegx@tmail.com

  • Cesar Cordova

    I got the playback video and it the best I can watch you tube videos and record up to 1 min so its bad ass am sooo happy

  • lexi

    How is it that you can record for 1 min AND watch youtube vids when others say you can only record for 20 secs and aren’t able to watch youtube videos?

  • Slacker8487

    I don’t care how shitty the update is, I still want it. You pay $449.99 for a phone(without contact), you would expect to already have these features in the first place.

  • cambodian nation

    Ahahhahahahahah. Dame! Ya pay your phone like about $500.ooo. I only paid mine total of $145.99 after a $50.oo mail-in rebate cuz it was a special day and the phone costs only $49.99, with a 1gb sd and a clear case of the value of $49.99, but it have to come with a two years contract which to me, is succ, I hate committment. Yaddadamean cuz?

  • mwilliams89

    I only paid $110 for my phone and it was brand new from the insurance company since I had a wing and I just wanted a sidekick I only paid $110.00. Second y n the hell is taking so long for everyone to get the update? I understand that they don’t want to make the server crash or anything but damn even if the features are a lil sucky i just want the bluetooth so i transfer pics and ringtones.

    Any news…hit me up
    mwilliams89@tmail.com

  • mwilliams89

    oops forgot the x n sidekick lx….watta loser…. :D

  • element4life

    Oh gosh. I live in Jersey and I haven’t received the update yet. I was surprised when I read you cannot watch videos like on youtube with the update. It really sucks. I spoke with a t-mobile representative and she did tell me we were going to be able to watch videos over the internet so I don’t know who’s wrong or right. It will be cool if we could watch videos on the internet.

  • King James

    Well there’s barely over a week left in July & i STILL haven’t received my update! From whut I hear on here its not that great but I still want it…these are things that shud have come standard on a $400 phone (even tho I only paid $180) but why is every1 sayin its 20 secs. long & no internet video viewing but this 1 a-hole says his is a minute long & can watch youtube vids? I think he’s jus tryna mess with us…he prolly doesn’t even have a sk…prolly a razr or sumtin lol…GIVE ME MY UPDATE!!

    My fellow sidekicc user I need ur help, with an email, can you help me? I need to know how to make another e-mail account other then tmail. I try to do it but it keep telling me that some shit fail or something isn’t right. If you do help with my problem please give me direction of how to do it, step by step.

    P.S. The only reason why I’m doing this cuz iam bored out of my freaking mind and I have no money right now to go out and drink cuz I lost it all to gambling.

    Thank you for your time cuzz, and please help me.

    The tabs came with the first ota we got. I think someone needs to check on if we’ll get them with da new ota but I highly doubt it. (I say we cause I had update but I lost my fone n da new one didn’t come wit it)

    My sidekick acting mad stupid too. I live right beside 95 so I usually keep service but it get flakey now a days. Dnt even get me started on how fucked up google look

  • johnny nitro

    question, say my phone was cut off for a whole day & I didn’t get it back to service ’til later. would they have re-sent the ota update again or did I miss the chance. or regardless if I had no service, would I still have gotten it?

  • john

    question, say if my phone was cut or I had no sort of service for a whole day until later on I receive service. will I still be able to get the ota update or no ?

  • Raidium

    This is funny! You guys wouldn’t be so impatient if they would have never said anything about it until after it was released to the public.

Since T-mobile USA Is Their.. And That A lot Of People He Knew Tht Got Tht Were In L.A Were Verry Happy With The OTA Quote On Quote He Said Ppl Told Him It Was like Buying The LX All Ovr Again.. ” Me And Him Both Agreed That Whn The OTA For The Sidekick Came Out It We Waited A Solid Two Weeks After It Released To Get It. (Hint-Hint)

    “By The End Of Aug. Evryone Should Have It….”

  • mincedheart

    END OF AUGUST! WHAT THE !@#$%? Before it was the end of July now it’s the end of August? I might as well just get a different phone like I was planning to anyway. -__-

  • King James

    @ Jaime O….idk how knowledgable ya friend is but I think they’re messin wit ya head…every article I’ve read online about the update has the release date as June 25th…there’s no way it could be July becuz there’s ppl that dropped comments on here that have had for a while before July 25th came around

  • Nena

  • PuMpKiN

    You guys are mad funny….lmao, but on the real I want my update, not because I need it, but because since t mobile opened their mouths about it I want it. They need to stop giving us a little taste and just go all out and let our phones play videos. I wanna watch MTV on the go. If you ask me this sucks and the update besta be good or t mobile will be loosing customers or sidekick buyers. I want my update now :(

    Everyone needs to calm down. Really, you will get the update. So what if you have to wait three days to get it, just calm down.

    I got the update yesterday. You need to make sure that your phone is plugged into the charger when you get it because it totally drains the battery life once your phone has finished updating.

    – The spell check is really nice since I can’t stand spelling things wrong.

    – You can add custom words to the spell check dictionary.

    – You can record a voice note for 60 seconds.

    – Video is only 20 seconds but I never really cared about video anyway.

    – It would be nice if you could watch videos on YouTube, but you can’t.

    – They added some new icons and other minor features to everything.

    – The phone is faster.

    – You can save pictures from the internet.

    – You can buy up to 25 ringtones.

    – There’s no lag when you move the camera when trying to take a picture.

    – Pictures are taken and saved faster.

    – The quality of the pictures is better.

    – AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! Messengers have new icons.

    – There’s an alarm clock.

    – When you buy something from the catalog, your phone doesn’t have to restart in order to install the application. It just installs automatically.

    – There are new internet browser features.

    – There are new address book features like favorties, recent calls, and people that are online now.

    – The media player has a new look.

    – There’s probably much more that I haven’t yet discovered.

  • baldwin

    look every1 if like 4000 people got it yesterday like in a hour were all gonna get it dont you c peop[le already saying i got the update i got ok i spoke 2 t-mobile like 10,000 times and i started bicthing but the thing is that the satilite the erea u mabe hasent got the update becuz the wirless and ur phone is still loading the update so before the agust 1 the update is goona popout in ur screen so dont worry

  • MP

    This is beautiful. People fiending over this update like its crack. Btw, there’s no specific date as to when everyone will have it. They could be still sending them out at the end of August.

  • snook

  • Ish

    This is gay I didn’t even know anything about dis until I got on da internet and till my fone kept sayin Java Script: Ur Java sucks don’t u think its time to update. So I googled updates for T-Mobile Sidekick Lx updates and I seen dis site and start readin all da comments. All ya sayin is u still can’t watch Youtube vids, u can record ur voice 40 seconds longer, record vids for 20 sec., new icons for messengers, and finally alarm clock., and etc.. I think there’s goin to be 5 more updates. And after my 2 year plan is up im never buyin another SideKick. Hopefully I can get da update by august 1st. If not I callin T-Mobile and goin to cus dem out. Then goin straight to da iphone were I can watch u tube vids, have a good ass camera and all da other tight shit. And its sayin da java script shit now.

  • cambodian nation

    Hey everybody, my friend just got her ota update and the funny thing is that she don’t even know that there was an update for the sidekick lx, hahahahaha. So please don’t get mad at her for having the update without knowing that there was an update. I’m just like everyone else, I’m also waiting for my update to arrive. I have been waiting for about two month when I heard about it. Now I know I really have to wait cuz all this talking about ” how come I didn’t receive it, or whatever” for real through we have to wait.

  • Mz know it All…..?

    Anticipation is so fun..!! Isn’t it… you guys comments are way funny .. I’m in cali and no i don’t have my ota but if everyone got they ota at tha same time then Tmobile would prolly be over loaded and jus shut down from everyone download’n tha ota don’t cha thinkk that’s a lil bit much @ once… idk jus sayin..

  • NickFire

    Tmobile needs to make a 3g network phone quick cuz this sidekick network is ok but its been the same since day 1

  • robert mandingo

  • peter floyd

  • Stephaniee

    Well,everyone,calm dOwn. I qOt my upqrade already. Tmobile is qOinq to send u a text messaqe about the upqrade & its qunna say “install now”.Click install and your fone is qoinq 2 restart & yer upqrade will be complete.Its really kool because u qet 2 save up to 3 away messaqes [on aim] & u qet 2 chat while your away.The internet is waaaaaaaay better. Althouqh,i was really hype about the recordinq thinq,turns Out u Can Only record for 20 seconds. =/ but everythinq else is qOOd.You also qet 2 download MORE rinqtones & u qet MORE memory.You still cant watch videOsz Or anythinq. Word Of advice… DO NOT qo buyinq tha Tony Hawk if u already qot the sidekik LX cus they are the same thinq.U qet tha upqrades 4 free instead Of spendinq $500 On a uqly lOOken fOne.If anyOne has any questiOnsz qet at me….

  • RiCk

    Yea tha update iz pretty cool compared 2 whut our LX’z were B4, id say itz more efficient than it wuz, I guess when u expect 2 much ur bound 2B dissapointed, I didn’t expect much, I got more N return, regardless of how small. . Peepz who don’t have it hang N dere slow ass Tmobile’z gett’n it out there

    Rick_yazzie@tmail.com

  • the boss

  • cambodian nation

    To LADY,

    Yeah I also live in OAKLAND CALI in the east, and I’m also waiting for the update for couple of month now, but I been on this forum for over a week to pass the time by. My homegirl got hers on the 28th of this week so I guessing that I might get it also, but I also hear that it doesn’t matter where you live cuz it will be randomly selected and sented. But you know what? I just going to have to wait it out untill it’s come. So LADY just wait it out just like me and many other people that are waiting.

    To ANYBODY,
    Hit me up if anybody got any NEW INFO.

  • jan

    i got the update it pretty sick yea its only 20 seconds of recording but its still good alot of stuff change and im not gonna be the 1 to spoil it but the upgrade is nice!!lol just be pacient

  • kyle:D

    For all you ppl who are saying they want a sidekick 2008 its basicly a messed up LX like the ID it may be just another ID thing where it seems like a cool phone but when people pay up they realize its suckish and I bet with in the next few months through october there may or may not be a new sidekick that has 3G and wifi with a youtube application avalible through the download catolouge it may be like an iphone which costed maby about $400 ish but id buy that and upgrade my LX to that and not to some sidekick 2008 that looks like a ID with lx capabilities the resolution for the camera may look nice but note there’s no mirrior mabe only some people find it usefull I do and there’s no flash that means there’s a suckish nightmode like the slide.. So all those LX users hold on too your LX!!!!! Once you get the update stick with your LX till Danger/Microsoft come out with a real nice sidekick……. sorry if I misspeled some words :S

  • dre

    The upgrade is comming just kick back and be kool I haven’t got mines yet but I kno its gonna come

  • Heidi

    Hey does anyone know if the new update will have spell checker too? I read it “could” have that as well. Also is the video really only 20 seconds long or is that cause of peoples memory card space that caused that? I have not received my update yet I was told sometime in Aug??

  • willy wonka

    I actually just got off the phone with a T-mobile rep and they said due to high data volume, the updates can take up to mid-September to arrive to all LX users.

  • rob

    DON’T PANIC

    apparently, the update is being sent to random SK LX’s. I just got My LX 2day and it doesn’t have the update. but re youtube: will it play em or not?

  • Heidi

    That is so weird they r saying different things. I called Team Mobile myself today and spoke with a manager who is a friend of mine and he said he was told everyone should have updates in AUG!! So idk. Also I did watch video from Youtube but only about video 4 LX not if it was to have spell checker or what other features are in this update. If anyone knows all the updates it comes with lmk.

  • anonymous

    only a couple more hours…still no update

  • some guy

    if you guys want your update that bad heres what I did. I called T-mobile, gave them some BS story how my sk recieved the update message but after it restarted was normal and did NOT update or change anything. They “resent” it. ALSO you guys are all customers of the CHEAPEST cell phone company in the country in comparison to SPRINT ATT VERIZON. You get what you paid for.

  • the rippahhh

    still no update. im pissed and i dont think its coming now.

    T-Mobile sucks…

  • #23 sf

    i jus got off the phone wit a tmobile representative, told her i got the update and nothin really happend 2 see if i get it faster, and she sed they started sendin the ota’s in small groups on July 25 and will take up to 5 weeks, and if ther r still ppl that dont hav it to call and they send them again, but evry1 shud have them in a few weeks, not 2moro

  • Heidi

    Hey everybody I have been reading everything everyone has been writing and personally I think we r all being told different things and I don’t even think the reps know what is going on. I also called today and was told 2,000 people each day are random picked and sent out by computer not them the updates and it is just RANDOM. They also said it can go into Sept and or later and just cause someone got a phone before or after u means nothing on when they will get updates. It will have spell checker,video etc. They also said u will get to updates around a week of each other. I went in a store and was told by middle of Aug I would get updates so goes to show no one knows when u will get them. Guess we just have to wait

  • anonymous

    you know what F**** the update now i first they said everybody should have it by the end of july then mid august now in september i won’t be suprised if people still getting it around christmas there are so MANY! lx users in the world and to be sending out only 2,000 a day will take a long time I’m just gonna forget it and when it comes it comes anyways if i really wanted the update i can just use my sisters phone…T-mobile..OFFICIALY SUCKS

  • Heidi

    Some Guy:
    For talking sh** on the Sk u just admitted u owned one do u realize how stupid what u said sounds. Also u can’t call Team Mobile and have it “resent” to u. I called and spoke with a manager and they told me they can’t send it, it is done at random and they can’t resend. Also Sprint SUCKS. Yes I agree Verizon and At&t r good companys but what’s ur point? If u hate the sk and Team Mobile so bad why r u on here and why do u own one? Everyone on here just wants to talk about the updates and who got them when what is so wrong with that!!

  • janely

    heyyy omq is so much better the way the sidekick lx is updated i love it !i want mine so bad . pleasee when u get this update mine email is Xxqwii3y127xX@aol.com or mizboricua01@aim.com

  • tony…

    I really think I’m going to change phones anyway cause when I was on the sidekick2 people was walking around with video phones and all these “smart phones” so if you realllllyyyy think about it this sidekick shi is getting tiring seriously it is. While a billion other phones will be offering the technology to control cities sidekicks will still be playing games. And its sad too this tony hawk now in a few months a new one comes out. Which still be a plain phone compared to other phones.

  • Flytg777

  • THE BOSS

    I GOT MY UPDATE AND THIS IS WAT I DID… CALL TMOBILE AND TELL EM YA FONE TEXT MESSAGES IS BEING DELAYED… THEY ARE GONNA TELL U TO SOFT RESET YA FONE BY PRESSING @+1+0 YA PHONE WILL RESTART THEN U DO A HARD RESET YA SELF AFTER BY CUTTIN YA FONE OFF AND TAKIN THE BATTERY OUT BUT MAKE SURE U CALL TMOBILE AND TELL EM YA MESSAGES ARE BEING DELAYED CUZ THEY ARE GONNA REFRESH YA SYSTEM SO WHEN U HARD RESET AND SOFT RESET, YA FONE WILL SERCH FOR THE LATEST UPDATES

  • iMPAtiENt ChilD

    ohh yea . the reason some of yu received two updates is bekus the first one was like half to see if it wud work on the fone & the second is like the finishin of the whole pakage . so be happy ! shit i still aint get mines yet .

  • anonymous

    you can’t call t-mobile cause t-mobile isn’t the people that are sending the update! the people who sends, and made the update was Danger so you need to stop saying to call t-mobile and give a fake ass story cause it doesn’t work!

  • THE BOSS

    TRUUUUUUUSH ME IT WORKS!!!!!! TMOBILE IS GONNA REFRESH YA SYSTEM SO IT WILL SERCH 4 THE LATEST UPDATE ELFOOLIO
    TRUUUUUUUSH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mad Mike

    i seriously dont think thats goin to work but i hope i get the update soon

  • eddie jovovich

    The update is not that great.. I was happy for the first hour I got it but its nothing special now.. The video rec. Is only 20 sec. long.. What I really like is the address book. Its wayyy more cooler! And my phone is way faster than it was before! You will just gonna have to wait for your update to come.. Its nothing really special.. You’ll get over the new shit your sidekick has in like 10 mins.

  • prechiusz_bby

    stiill nO update;*
    auquszt 1st…
    uuqh..!

  • daniel

    omg i still didnt get the update and its aug 1st

  • King James

    To every1 complainin that its august 1st & u don’t have ya update…I spoke wit a t-mo rep today…she told me it wuz released july 24th & every1 shud have it 5 weeks 4rm that date..she said if it gets to be the end of aug. & u haven’t received it to call t-mobile so they can find out why u didn’t get it…holla!

  • Jaime O.

    See told you king james july not june…

    But yeah big up’s on the research.

    Cuz evryone freakin’ outt and shitt.

  • anonymous

    EVERYBODY!!!!!!! T-mobile knows NOTHING of this update!! why you think when everybody wanted it around june 25-early july they went to t-mobile and asked and no reps of t-mobile knew and now all of a sudden they know the release dates and everything !! NO!! even if the update was released june 25th it will take at least a month to get to everyone in the world so all you have and can do is wait and check your phone every night and morning to see if you have got the update JUST WAIT the update isn’t that great anyway like people said you get bored of it in less than 1hour i got bored of it in 10 minutes so STOP lieng saying if you call t-mobile and say this and that you’ll get the update cause it’s a lie!!! JUST WAIT!!

  • derek

    Its aug 1st and I still havnt got the ota update can someone tell me what’s goin on with that…master60135@tmail.com

  • King James

    @ jaime o…tru I admit I wuz wrong I wuz goin by whut I saw online june 25th wuz when they announced they would be releasing a update
    @ anonymous…do u kno how dumb that sounds to say that t-mobile knos nothing? Hello its a t-mobile product! Tru the update is released 4rm danger bcuz they’re the software company powering the sidekick but do u really think they don’t communicate with t-mobile? Tru some reps may not have known whut wuz up @ first becuz they were probably not informed yet..but knoin that t-mobile is who T-MOBILE SIDEKICK!! Users would call regarding this update danger would be obliged to inform the carrier on whuts goin on wit the update…holla!

  • emobetter

    Still waiting on that update

  • mad poet

    Hey I’m just trying to figure out for those of you who have already received the update, did u notice any differences before the update arrived to your phone? Currently, I’ve been watching the bytes received and bytes transferred, & just wondering if that has to do with anything. Currently, mine says 4.4M transferred & 25M received. If this means nothing, then ignore my message. Hit me up w/ a response where possible (brytay82@tmail.com). Thanks

  • young green

    I’m in cali a couple of my homies got it its ill can’t wait for it to knock on ma lx’s door

  • waiting 4 the ota

    i am still waiting for the sidekick ota, and im pissed of becuase ive been a tmobile customer for 6 years!!

  • Hazel

    The update is freggin hott!!!!

  • nino250ex

    well I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE with Tmobile b/c of other issues and was told that there is NO way to rush the upgrade and there is NO time frame when we should all have it…there getting sent out randomly and not all at once so they dont slow down the network…so from what i gather it could be tomorrow…or it could be 2 months from now…all depends on how long it takes for Tmobile to get it out to ya

  • young money

    peacekid08

    thanks!

  • King James

    Well its official…kriz iz the sk master lol…it took me prolly over 50 tries but I got my update…& I guess I gotta restart it to get the 2nd part…but I GOT IT!!!!! Holla!

  • fjekglrjklgtd

    AHHHHHH this shit seriously works. i had to restart it quite a but it is very noticable when it is happening.

    all the times i was restarting, my bytes were ranging from 3 to 8 K. Then, one magiacal time, i restarted, looked at my bytes, and by the time i got to the network settings or whatever i was in the hundreds. I got my hopes up, not all the way, and intently watched it slowly rise. it got to 10 and stopped. Scared the shit out of me but started up again. As soon as it hit 12.4M the screen popped up asking me if i want to update. Less than a minute and a half later, i was using the new firmware. So anyone who is skeptical about this method, as i was when i first read it. DO IT. you will get it eventually. How many times will you have to restart? i cant tell you that. But if you dont quit you will eventually recieve it. Thank Kriz or whatever your name is who originally found this out. Your a lifesaver.

    By the way, this shit pisses me off. EVERY damn person and site made it crystal clear that THE UPDATE COULD NOT BE FORCED. YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU GET IT. and look at this, a way to force it was found out. Pretty ironic. Anyways, i am not coming back to this site until i hear about another OTA, if i ever hear of another for this phone. I actually hate this site, it screws my computer up. So, farewell to all. I hope everyone who is still bitching about not having their update gets on their A game and turns their phone off. im sure T-Mobile would love everyone to do it so they dont get so many calls bitching about it every day. if you need help you can ask me. although its pretty self explanatory.

    Well Kris was right. It worked for me I lost count after 2 but It worked. Its pretty kool and I really would try it if you want the ota. I think the problem for other people is this. If you have emails or other pieces of data sent to your fone this adds to the mb so therefore you will get a inacrate total. You can either have the ota forced to your fone or you can be patient. It really works.

  • Yung Meeage

    O ya I kinda did take out my battery twice. On the fourth time the kb got up 2 100 and stopped then on the last time I tried it worked

  • younGreen

    y0 a coulpe nigts ago I watched Kriz’s update video an I got a lil help from chrissssss an me an my bro got both updates in like 5 mins. So good lookin to them. an you who haven’t got it yet it work so hit it up an taking out the battery sounds like a good idea to help this method work an you’ll know wen yo Lx is gonna come up cuz the numbers jus go up an keep countin, if not restart it.. But the update poppin >; ]

  • Blizzle

    Yoooo it really worked I watched the video and I tried it and it worked after 1 try, you just gotta keep them bites going up and I got both updates- Kriz YOU ROCK!!!

  • Greenished

    EVERYONE! I knew nothing about On-the-Air update til July 27th, the update appear on my screen.

    And when I share this infos to my family, and friends. NONE of them got any of update, yet. So, they been patients.

    When I read what those people says on this page, it make me wonder why are you were so fustrated or pissed off at t-mobile, if you don’t get the update. It made me feel sad. That none of you ever practice to being patients on this earth–yeah there a lot people have LX so it long way to get everybody to have the update. If it sent to everybody at a time, the system might be fucked up and ruin the enivorment–ozone, greenhouse (whatever you guys would call it) and it sound like you like in LX instead of enjoy your own life.

    “The goods things come to whoever waited.”

    pz out. :) enjoy ur life.

    aight look, go to youtube and type in “sidekick lx” and then click on the 1st video and follow the steps!

    the most important thing (which they failed to mention) is if you use any apps (myspace, aim, msn, yahoo) you gotta make sure you set it that they do not automatically reconnect when your phone turns on, otherwise it won’t work.. i JUST did it and it worked.. as soon as it reached 12.4m (not 12.4k) the pop up came..

  • barnes

    i got my update like 2 weeks ago and its ok.. i like the fact you can save your custom away msgs on aim (only up to 3 though) but it really fuckin sucks for internet.. i can’t see pics on any webpage anymore unless i specifically select click image mode.. and when you hit the back button to go to the previous page it loads just like you are going to a new page rather then pull up fast… thumbs down

  • Greenished

    PEOPLE! use your common sense, how to rasied your bytes received faster? just go on computer and sent a lot pictures to your tmail. Or use internet the more bytes received you will get instead of to power off your pager and watched the bytes received to rasied and hopes to arrived to 12.4M.

    PEOPLE! enjoy your nights. as I hope, I did help you, people who have no common senses. :)

    any question? tmail me beyourself@tmail.com

  • Greenished

    And my mistake for spells, I mean raised.

    Or you could sent to your own tmail. As your goal to keep your bytes received running (7 next to G–be sure keep it’white thingy going down’) as it will go up faster to 12.4M. So you could get your On-the-Air update. :)

    gina_flores@tmail.com

  • shaboogie

    There is a simple way of gettin the update. It felt like yesterday when I was feeling how you was feeling (well it was yesterday lol) jus follow da steps

    STEP 1 go to a website on your sidekick that uses a lot bytes like myspace. Check your mail, comment people, add people & etc.

    STEP 2 check the amount of bytes received by going to the jump screen press menu, go to settings, select network status & press menu and m @ the same time. You will notice that your bytes received will be increasing. Stay on the web until your bytes received is over 12.5M.

    STEP 3, after you have received 12.5M log off aim, msn, & yahoo & be sure that the auto sign in is off (make sure any application that uses internet data is off) then simply turn ur phone off & back on. Pay close attention to the G7. If there is a white going through the 7 for more than 2 mins that means your getting the update so you should just put your phone down & leave it alone. (DON’T DO ANYTHING WITH IT)

    You may have to try this more than 1 time. If it doesn’t work the first time just repeat step 3. It took me 2 times & my brother 1 time. So good luck sidekickers leta

  • ghetto

    Fk serious this sucks ass

  • jamarcus

    I was one of the many that was unable to get the update through the youngplatinum technique…which is right btw but the “masterplan” is also required…where you get bytes received first through emailing yourself or browsing the internet (refreshing a website several times) until you get 12.5 mb received…sign off everything…then taking out battery, sim card and memory card (not sure if this made a difference but did it anyway)…then proceed with youngplatinum technique of turning on and off until you see the swoosh on your 7 and checking your bytes received…hope this helps the people trying to force update still =)…oh had success at 6:14pm (PST)…try the 3am maybe it works too =)

  • jamarcus

    oh yea…not sure if this made a difference either but my sidekick was also charging at the time…good luck guys!

  • Brandon

    Ok so I tried that youtube trick.
    And it was a no sucess so far. Im thinking its only forced through if the update is already in your state.
    So has anyone from San Antonio,TX got it yet.?

  • Whit

    Ok for EVERYONE who has not got the update on their Sidekick LX. I just got off the phone with the people at T-mobile and he asked if I had gotten the update yet. I told him no and asked when I should receive it. He told me that they send only send a certain amount of updates out each day. And it is totally a RANDOM thing or who is gonna get the update what day. I know that sound messed up.. But he told me to just wait and I should receive it soon. Cause EVERYONE who has a LX is going to get the update, just a matter of time.

  • Sophie

    Well, I got my update while I was at work at 3am. I was missing one bar and got both my updates and it didn’t run my battery down, so people who say that it will don’t have any idea. I hope every1 gets theirs soon. I was so impatient about it, I even did what Kris said to do, then I just gave up and did something else with my time and wah-lah update. Good luck every1!

  • SidekickYoAzz

    I got my update last night. Its annoying because the email lags now. If i click on an email to read it, it lags for a sec before it opens. and when you try to delete emails it lags for a sec before it delets. thats annoying because im used to it going faster. the video camera is wack! its so lo res..its like less than half the size of the screen. its a little square in the middle of the screen and you cant expand it.

    i havent tried out the other features yet but so far its a snore. tmobile loves to downgrade stuff and pretend theyre upgrading lol

    i like the fact that you can download pics off websites and save it on your memory card. and i like that you can buddy chat on aim. i havent tried it yet but hopefully it doesnt suck.

  • SidekickYoAzz

    DONT TRUST THE SPELL CHECK ON THE UPDATE! I purposely spelled words wrong on it and it said “all words spelled correctly”

    crappy!

  • lauren

    Ok….so I got da 2nd update at 7.30 this mornin but wat does it do?….I didn’t see ne thing different……but if u no wat its 4 hit me up on aim……nvedmami143

  • Tucan Sam

    IPHONE!!! i sold my lx and got the new 3G. Sidekick is trash and Im glad im not a part of the SK cult anymore lol

  • VG44

    Hey yall,
    Does anyone know how to put videos on the lx? or what program to use so that we can convert videos to watch them on the LX. i.e. an episode pending enough GB on the memory card.
    Thanks

  • sexygiirl179

    boOwhoO i still haventt recieved mine

  • VG44

    Aight yall LX users. I’ve spent some time researching the ability to watch movies or tv episodes on the Sidekick Lx. You can!!! However, LX users have to download a program called Prism Video Converter to convert the file into a 3gp or MP4. MP4s work the best. Have a ball everyone. It’s alright sexygiirl but thanks anyways.

  • nilaja

  • Ivan

    I still havent gotten it yet it said it came out june 25th n ive been waitin 3 months n stil no update.

  • Nicole

    So as of last night, the little G thats up in the corner, changed to the little phone….i’ve tried turning it on and off taking the battery out, nothing happens….then it showed my time and date to be like December 30th 1999??? And also it wont ring when i get a text message what is going on with my phone!!!!!!

  • Kenyada

    NICOLE!!!
    The kick does that frm time 2 time. U turnin ur phone on & off doesn’t change anything. The more u take the battery out…the longer u have 2 wait…ur only resettin ur phone all over again. When it does come back…u’ll get ur ringtones, txt msgs frm prolly a few days will come back too! Jus b patient n dnt turn ur phone off or take the battery out anymore…

    P.S. T-mobile has been havin tech problems anywhoo…so dnt b surprised if sumtin goes wrong…
