It would be nice if we know what actually got fixed.

seriously... i want to see an official release sheet. just like any other "real" company when releasing an update, they TELL you what's being updated. for all we know it's a placebo update to fool us thinking things are better...

Here's the list:

• Cannot associate with WiFi access point using shared WEP key: Should now be able to associate to access points with a shared WEP key.
• Google Contacts/Calendar Sync (endless loop).
• USB storage: Now a USB notification will appear in the notifications area when connected via USB. Users must select to use USB Storage if desired.
• Email notification doesn't disappear when the Email has been read (POP/IMAP Email client).
• New Email notifications not received (POP/IMAP Email client).
• Browser does not launch YouTube video when Settings > Enable Javascript is unchecked.

Man, thank you for posting this. I have been racking my brain for all of today wondering why my computers wouldn't detect my G1's SD card. Ugh.

Yeah, you mean like Apple's release notes? "Bug fixes and other improvements" is all you get from them!

Not sure if this works, since I don't have a G1 myself, but for those who want to risk it (seriously, do this at your own risk.)

You can download the update from here: https://android.clients.google.com/u...-RC19+RC28.zip If it throws up a "503 Server Error", refresh the page.

Rename it to just update.zip, and put it in the root of your SD card. Then reboot the phone while holding down Home and Power, hit Alt+L, then Alt+S.

Got this from xda-developers (this thread, about midway down the page), so I don't know if it works. The people there say it does, though.

Tested and this works. I've updated my G1 to RC29 halfway across the world from where most of you guys are.
