We’re getting reports that American G1 owners are getting the Android 1.5 update for their devices. The update will bring numerous improvements, UI updates, new widgets, an onscreen keyboard and all the other goodness that those of you who have taken the initiative already know about.

We’ll see if our G1 has had the update pushed down to it yet, and let us know if your G1 gets it yet in the comments. While you’re waiting, you can also go vote for your favorite Android Community MVP so they can win an HTC Magic with Cupcake already installed on it. Oooh.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in, and Engadget Mobile]








Are the admins even G1 owners anymore? I know all of the startup staff for the site jumped ship after launch... then the news came down dropping now to I think just when they're bored enough to copy and paste some andblog or engadget... You have to take this community sheerly for its members now, not at all as a news source...
Android 1.5 Cupcake rolling out 4 realz guys?
Is that a joke? Let's keep this site legit and professional.
And yes, I know I could download it and will if it's not pushed to me by time I leave. But for company reasons I'm waiting on the OTA to make sure it is 100% T-Mobile.
but now we got HERO hahaha rawr.

What I would say is that if you see something - in the forum here or elsewhere - that you think should be on the AC frontpage, let us know. The tips page is linked up at the top (http://androidcommunity.com/send-tips/). Unfortunately I just don't have as much time as I'd like to spend here, reading through your posts.

If you haven't gotten yours yet try rebooting.
Vancouver Washington. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Also, btw, you have voided your warranty. Hope you don't encounter one of the several known issues with that phone that would need an exchange :/
The only negative is that the battery seems to be draining alot faster.
Still waiting here in Aberdeen, WA (home of Kurt Cobain)
If it was based on when you bought the phone (which it's not), then I should have gotten mine the first day.
So what is the latest with Cupcake 1.5?? Has anyone in the US gotten it sent to them??
Mine says RC33, what will it say when I have Cupcake1.5??
I look in Builds Right??
two of the phones were purchased and turned on at the same time. the third was 2 months later.
grrrrrrr
I know, keep wishing right.

The universe is not conspiring against you.
The update is pretty good overall, took about 10 minutes from start to finish.
Portland, Oregon
Located in Edwardsville, Illinois...25 min. from St. louis, MO.
The Camcorder (video recording) feature is cool. Simple...push button to record, push button to stop recording...then save or delete. It works well.
The onscreen keyboard is nice. Don't know how much I'll be using it though. I prefer they QWERTY keyboard.
Creating folders on the desktops will come in handy...will help me free up space and group similar items together.
Some graphical changes, some nice...some not as much. I'd rather have the black theme of the calendar back.
Still exploring...
I can finally deploy my own app on a phone other than my ADP1, huzzah!
you should also have stereo Bluetooth, and the ability to set it to autorotate the orientation which is in the settings. There are numerous other fixes and enhancements.
Got it today!!
I received Cupcake during the night and this morning I installed it. Went fine, phone restarted, and now I think I have a problem. After the restart I have a notification that "the SD card is being checked for errors". This has been going on for more than 2 hours now. The card remains unavailable while this is going on. I never had problems with the SD card before. It's the card that came with the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, what did you do about it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
Later
