T-Mobile to kick off Isis Mobile Wallet pilot program on October 22nd according to leaked photo

Mr. Blurrycam has struck again, and this time he brings us a launch date for T-Mobile’s Isis Mobile Wallet pilot program by way of TmoNews. According to the image (which you can catch after the break), the Isis app will arrive on Google Play come October 22nd for folks in Salt Lake City, Utah and Austin, Texas to take for a test drive. Another image reveals that those who activate their mobile wallet could snag $10, and an additional $15 if they convert their Isis Cash card into a reloadable prepaid card. Call one of the two cities home and can’t wait to put the NFC payment solution through its paces? You’ll need an Isis SIM card and a Samsung Galaxy S III, S II or Relay 4G to partake in the festivities. For those outside the lucky cities, there’s still no word on when Isis will fully launch.

John Legere confirmed as new Chief Executive Officer of TMobile USA

Back in the heat of summer, T-Mobile USA‘s then CEO Philipp Humm resigned to take up the mantle at Vodafone. In the interim, former COO Jim Alling stepped up to keep the chair warm while a permanent replacement was found. Today we learn that John Legere, former CEO of Global Crossing, will relieve Alling of those duties, and fill the top spot full-time. With 32 years experience in the industry, Legere also spent time at Dell as president of European, Middle East and African operations. For now, his first task will likely be leading the firm’s LTE deployment, and trying to win some of the faithful back. Head past the break for the full PR and the new CEO’s first video address to employees.

T-Mobile’s latest Galaxy S II update silently removed ‘universal search’ feature

Posted in: Today's Chili

TMobile's latest Galaxy S II update quietly nixed 'universal search' feature

As you may or may not know, there’s been an issue related to the universal search feature inside a region-specific batch of Samsung Galaxy S IIIs; with the Korean company going as far as “inadvertently” removing it from some Euro handsets a while back, before eventually bringing it back to life. Now, thanks to great, thorough inspecting by the folks from Android Police, it appears T-Mobile’s S II flavor is the latest galactic slab to have such searching trait completely wiped out from the device. Apparently, this took place during the T989UVLH1 update from T-Mo a couple of days ago, but much to everyone’s surprise, mentions of any “universal search” tweaks were nowhere to be found on the changelog. More importantly, how’s it looking on your end? Do let us know in the comments below.

TMobile USA's former CEO Phillipp Humm to become chief executive at Vodafone on October 1st

Less than 24 hours after the unexpected news that Phillipp Humm had penned his resignation as T-Mobile USA’s CEO, Reuters is now reporting he himself has said a chief executive position awaits him at Vodafone. As you may know, this comes after the Magenta carrier had stated Humm would be leaving to reunite with his family back in the Old Continent, and seek a new career outside of Deutsche Telekom. According to the report, Phillipp Humm’s new role will be as a chief executive for Vodafone’s operations in northern and central Europe, which is set to begin as early as October 1st. Naturally, Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao seems to be quite satisfied with Humm’s upcoming arrival, saying it “will be a strong addition to the Vodafone group executive committee.”
