I’m only able to talk about my phone and what I have read about T-Mobiles “My Account” application, however it seems like I’m having a lot of issues with T-Mobile apps. Sherpa, while it looks amazing, has refused to work with the GPS on my phone. My Account force closes on me, like it does for everyone else using Cyanogen’s or anyone else ADP rom.
Sherpa, probably the most talked about Android application, had looked extremely promising to me. To my discouragement, when I started the application up it seemed to be frozen on West Hubbard Street in Chicago. I can search by address, but when I search with ‘my location’ it tells me that I am still outside of The Breakfast Club (if only I were…).
I hope for a lot of reasons that this is just some coding errors with T-Mobile, and not an attempt to push Android owners away from running rooted phones. This would be an Apple/iPhone or Amazon/Kindle approach, and would carry a bit of negative press for the carrier. The same carrier who makes it ever so easy for jail broken iPhone users to come over from AT&T.
I still have to go through the rest of the newly released t-mobile application pack, so I can’t be certain at this point what’s going on. Either way, I hope that T-Mobile gets the apps back up and running shorty because they were pretty awesome to have.
