Anyone got the new version 2.3 yet? When I sync it doesn't update itself. I'm excited to use the new custom contact lists.

I have it. The update is not a function of doing a sync within the app, but rather what your settings are for the app in your App Manager under Settings. You can also go to the Play Store anytime and download the update.

I have a kindle fire hd and I can't get the update. I deleted the app and downloaded it again, to no avail, still no update. Is this a problem?

According to the LDS Tools app page on Amazon, version 2.3.0 is available. So I'm surprised you wouldn't get it with a fresh download. Are you checking your version from the app using Help > About on the menu? If so, what version does it say you are running?

It says I have 2.3.0, but I don't have access to Meetinghouse on my menu, go figure.

In order to use the meetinghouse feature, you have to have a maps app installed – I think probably Google Maps. You may also have to have location services enabled...

Well I already had MapQuest, but I downloaded Google Maps. Deleted LDS Tools and downloaded it again, still no menu item for meetinghouse or reports. Does anyone out there get the full version 2.3 on their kindle fire hd?

What setting should I look for to change? I'm pretty sure I've had lds tools update notifications before automatically.

I just tried un-installing and installing it again from the Play store. It installed version 2.2.0.7 again. Any more suggestions?

What version of Android are you on? I'm wondering if they upped the minimum required and that's all the higher your device can go.

It says kernel version 2.6.32.9. Would you know if I'd be able to update my android version myself if I need to? or would i have to buy a new phone or upgrade my phone os at my t-mobile store?

I was referring to Android version.

Typically there's no friendly way to upgrade the Android version short of replacing the phone, but there are alternative ROMs out there for the technically adventurous.

firmware version 2.2.1
baseband version T839UVKD1
kernel version 2.6.32.9
build number FROYO.UVKD1

Which of these would be referring to what you call the android version?
I guess it might be firmware... although I thought kernel had something to do with the os as well.
What is the latest android version available?

None of them. On the phones I have on-hand, it's called "Android version" and found under Settings > About Phone. I assume you're looking in the same place since that's where I find the other items as well.

But the mention of "Froyo" confirms my suspicion about the age. According to Google's current numbers, Froyo only makes up 0.7% of the visitors to it's Play Store, so it's not going to get much developer love.
