OTA... are you serious R30

[gaston]

OMG after R28... R29 beta, R29... my phone just got an R30...
man this phone need fixing

[Rawgerod]

wow just got R29 today..lol

[tvanden]

Just got the R30. Why do you think its a bad thing.

[George Salazar]

they must be doing something real good to do so many upgrades

[hrok]

Lol mines still on 19...

[Shel]

Just got the R30. Why do you think its a bad thing.

It's a bad thing because some people need to complain.

If Google doesn't update and improve for a few weeks, some people will complain that they aren't doing squat. If Google announces a bug fix, and four or five days pass, people are in an UPROAR... WHERE's MY update??? I ordered this thing WEEKS ago, I live in NEW YORK, fer crying out loud... WHERE's MY UPDDATE???????

if they DO send two, three updates, plus promise to add virtual keyboard in beginning '09, then it's TOO MANY updates!

sheesh... some people simply NEED to complain.

[insanewond3rland]

Mines is also still on R19 but i called Customer Care and the rep told me that the R29 updates should finish rolling out by the 11th of this month, i always get OTA's late, even when i had an LX.

[George Salazar]

by the end of the year it will be rc75 lol

people need to complain, i live in NYC, if there were nothing to complain about people would go mad, they should just develop a "Jesus Phone" or a "Miracle-droid", then & only then will people be satisfied.

i just got rc29 this morning.

[lazee_smurf]

Yeah well check this... I had rc19 yesterday and just so happen to look at my build number today and it said rc28 so how the hell did that happen without the OTA notification to accept it!!!

[JUSTINB]

For anyone who has received the update, can you go to Settings > About > and tell me what your Build number says? Thanks!

[JPH3]

I feel so left behind! Im still RC19 and waiting.

[DesignDawg]

It is clear by now that people generally don't understand this kind of software and development. The comments about open source show a lack of understanding and anyone who would complain about a build update doesn't understand what builds are. Hell, on a lot of open source stuff there are NIGHTLY builds to download. These builds are small fixes that address bugs a bit at a time and finalize code that didn't make it into the last build. It's not like a new firmware or entirely new OS. For those who are too used to the way of Windows...think of these as the small updates your computer does (probably automatically) whenever it hits windows update...

[K.Krstnsn]

ya, im not entirely sure why an update its self is a complainable (sp?) "offense".

Now the fact that some people are still sitting on RC19 i think is a little silly. Maybe they should have some sort of blog?, or news site?. That gives what was fixed and a link to download and manually install for those who want updates ASAP.

[Jeewone]

Wow. I'm still waiting for RC29 and I got my phone 2 days before the stores here in Chicago!:confused:

exactly what i've been asking about from the word go.

Google is bullying AC to take off Android from androidcommunity, yet they cannot start an android blog to notify us of fixes and updates... very poor and again unprofessional.

i just got an update on my ps3 and all i have to do if in doubt is to check the official sony ps3 blog and see what the updates fix. that in itself eliminates a lot of speculation.

oh, i just got my 2nd order placed on Oct 10th. waiting for my replacement though. i dont want ti opeb this 1. its for my wife... early xmas present.

[penerk11]

While I have to admit that I love the phone and I love t-mobile I am really disappointes with the way things are being handled with the updates. Some people are on their 3rd upgrades and I have yet to get one update. What possible reason or logic could they be using. Maybe it is me but this just makes no sense.

[WazzuKirk]

RC30 is a fix for the jailbreak in the root.

Anybody know the exact build number?

[bhain3s]

exactly, what is the ****ing point of open source if I cant get a damn update on TIME...let alone im still waiting on 28 or is it 29 oh **** my bad 30!!! shyt on this rate people could be on 50 and ill be waiting for these still...:confused:

[jokerdb78]

LOL, Is RC29 just the update number? lol Because if so i want RC30 instant of RC29 ya'll know what i mean. I needs taht up-to-date ****.

[dippedinsauce]

lol 1 question ive been reading all about these updates on the forums and i read somethin about syncing....does sync need to be on to get ota? because i disabled that years ago....no need to update stuff i dont have and waste battery

[Chozin]

Mines is also still on R19 but i called Customer Care and the rep told me that the R29 updates should finish rolling out by the 11th of this month, i always get OTA's late, even when i had an LX.

Thanks for sharing....I'm still on 19 so having that date helps.

[Infinatenothing]

is this the update that closes the whole that let people get root access?

be careful wazzukirk... they might ban you due to posting a "competitors link".

ps: did you see the espn article about this years apple cup?

[insanewond3rland]

Thanks for sharing....I'm still on 19 so having that date helps.

No problem, i did not even call customer care about that issue, i called in reference to hotspot but i ended up asking because i see it all over the boards here and thats what he told me. Hopefully what he said has some truth to it but then again i guess i'm patient so i can wait.

[XDViPeR]

Ever since I installed RC29, my text messages have been crashing like crazy. WTF can I do about this?

[dippedinsauce]

so do you need syncing on to get ota's or what?

[WazzuKirk]

be careful wazzukirk... they might ban you due to posting a "competitors link".

Whoops...lol

And yes, and my team completely SUCKS this year. This years game is known as the Cr-Apple Cup...LOL

Updating manually is a pretty simple process for anyone that wants to get the update without having to wait.

These releases are, as stated previously, standard fare for an open source project. This phone is based off of linux. Linux has nightly builds with patches and fixes. It's really not a big deal. If you want it before your phone 'gets it' from t-mobile, just do it yourself. Otherwise, just wait, and it'll get there. If you find the whole idea of releases coming every week or so, you picked the wrong time to buy a G1.

Anyone who has a G1 right now is an early adopter. There are going to be growing pains. It's all of us who will drive and continue to push the development for a bigger and better operating system in the future. All operating systems push out updates. All will be ok.

There will be once someone posts the build version info, then it's just a matter of URL hacking the previous release's URL

[ghoonk]

Guys, what do I enter in the Device Info text area to get the RC30 update?

[ahahemnab]

The people that have said they got the ota have not posted the build info yet...

[schumann]

Minor bug fix, so don't worry about not getting it sooner.

[ayo991]

Anyone figured out what the link is to manually apply RC30?

[s15274n]

I may have missed this, but do we know what 30 fixes? I mean, I dont seem to know of any issues... curious what they are fixing.

[atoy74]

WOOHOO!!! Keep the updates coming. This is the beauty of Android. Always evolving and getting better.

Keep em coming Google!!!

[Divest]

Dude, I'm not receiving ANY updates, period.

At least, not to my knowledge. Anyone know how to check the version that's installed on your phone?

[DKYang]

It fixes the "jailbreak." There is an article about it on the home page of this site.

I don't have any updates either, but not in a hurry. Now if I don't get it by Nov. 11th, that's when I'll start to have a fit. And no people, I don't feel like doing the manual update.

Go to Settings > About > Build.

[ghoonk]

I'm already having a fit about it. :P

[schumann]

Well G1 needs to fix more problems not only the tighting the security hole.Why google team is running behind the security,jailbreak whateva.they shud fix or enhance some major functions like MMS saving,Battery life,Video recorder and many more.

[jetshred]

I just got the RC30 update over the air. Here is what it says under "Build number" for all interested:

kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143
ota-rel-keys,release-keys

Kind of strange since I just manually updated the phone to RC29 earlier today. For what it's worth I signed up for T-Mobile on Monday and got my phone in the mail on Tuesday with RC19. My first OTA update was tonight. And in case location is still considered to have something to do with the OTA's, I am in Southeastern, NC on what was previously the Suncom network.

[JUSTINB]

Interesting, couldn't find an update URL for it. Anyone else wanna try?

[XDViPeR]

damn I'm in Brooklyn, and I want the Rc30 update, So I guess it means today or tomrorow

[schumann]

I'm from Brooklyn I got the update 30 mins ago.Lets see watz new ??

[Divest]

Fantastic, I'm still operating off of RC19.

I'm wondering if I should call customer service and let them know.

Thing is, I'm not sure if they're going my mobile number. Since I have a ported number, maybe that has something to do with it and they just accidentally overlooked me. I'll give it till the 11th and see what happens.

[dkvitus]

just got the notification that update was available about 1hr ago. 'install now' or 'instal later'.
i did install, here's the build number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143 ota-rel-keys,release-keys

[Paging Dr B]

this still isnt as bad as the amount of updated my ps3 has had. I'll take updates any day vs having to deal with any other phone.

[White97Jimmy]

Got the update last night while I was at the strip club!

1.0 TC4-RC30 116143

Tonight, my touch screen no longer works. Damnit.
