Almost everyone should have gotten the latest update RC30 from Google by now. T-Mobile has been pushing them out for several days now. This update should fix the very odd keystroke bug that was reported by users.
It appears that even though the update that we received is the RC30, the UK is getting update RC8. Google promised that the UK would be getting this update that is essentially the same thing at RC30 here in the US by November 12th. Google told BBC News, “Users in the US already report receiving the update, and Google told the BBC that users in the UK should receive it by 12 November.”
There are reports all over the Internet today stating that UK customers still have not yet received their update. One member has to manually update their T-Mobile G1 through a process using AnyCut. There is still no official word from Google or T-mobile pertaining to this issue update. Have any of our members in the UK received update RC8?
Can any of those who have had the update confirm what version they have afterwards?
im still stuck on RC7 in the UK, Grr !
It also has the changes to USB storage that were in the RC28 update in the US so I am assuming it is a full rebuild of RC30 for the UK market.
Also i noticed when it was downloading the Update, the File name didnt say TC5-RC8 blah blah it said TC5-RC7.7 etc..
Anybody else noticed that !?
Also, What the Hell where they doing with the OTA update ? my phone states that RC8 was created on

I can confirm that the reboot issue is gone and the device *seems* to run cooler when using 3G actively.
Didn't have a chance to test the USB improvements and we'll see about the battery life tonight.

Its an update for RC7 users to go over to RC8 on build 116470. That's the way I interpret it. For all we knew, we could of been going to RC9 or RC10, but obviously news reports suggested otherwise.
It seems like the AnyCut method is just a way of activating the update quicker. I think it checks with the server you're assigned to every so often (as seen on the AnyCut method with Device Info) if you didn't bother to do that method.
I was a lot happier to have received the update over my wireless connection rather than 3G. Thank-god for a 20meg broadband line
and Tunster, i think i must have worded my post wrong. i didnt say that the Update was for RC7.7 im just saying the Zip file (which you have added the full name for) said RC7.7 and just wondered why haha. sorry !
