I read somewhere that RC9 UK version is starting to be rolled out. German RC 9 version already has.
Are theses versions equal? Is there german language available in the RC9 (under phone settings - locale & text - selct locale?
Any efforts on rooting RC9?
I am on RC33 JF at the moment but loved to switch to the European version because of the ability to use market with paid apps. Of course I want to keep root access. German ui would be a nice add-on.

You won't see any "paid apps" as long as you are accessing the store with a European IP afair
yes, but it will be a matter of time with a german G1. I heard rumours that paid apps will start 3rd of march.
UK RC9 has not come to me yet...
UK RC9 has been released for testing only (not public release) so wont be long before we see it. There are still issues with MMS and PDF in browser which is trying to be ironed out.

RC9 has a native pdf viewer?
im starting to get disapointed with the g1. i thought we would have our ownscreen keyboard by now, better blue tooth support etc and othe rnice features.
I believed that would happen end of jan, its now march.
I wish i had gone with the touch HD.
maybe i could accidentlay break it, claim on the insurance for anothe rphone?
Same here, im looking at the touch HD, £395 at cex.co.uk

I just got the rc9 update here in the uk
reaaly
Yes. It came ota last night at 10.30 ish. I can't see that much has changed.
Market place is no longer beta. I don't seem to have voice search or latitude though?
no latitude, how crap, only think i wanted, gotta dump this phone, its a constant let down.
I was hoping this update would bring us latitude, but I cannot understand why we are lagging so far behind the US. It's a real disappointment, one of the main reasons I went for the G1 was because of it's openness and I expected Google to keep on improving it.
Just out of interest, when did you activate your phone? Wondering if it's being rolled out dependent on activation date rather than geography.
Mine was bought of ebay. So don't know when it was originally activated.
For me, the update seems pointless. Nothing new to see!

Just to be sure: You know, that Latitude is part of Google Maps?
Open Maps, press Menu: There's "join latitude".
It's in the German Update, so it should be in the UK one also...
yes, i did know it is part of google maps. but the option is not there.

Hi, I currently have 1.1 “JFv1.43 for UK RC9 firmware!”
I want to update to 1.5 (cupcake), so can someone please tell me which update I should use as most of the update are for US users?
Also after updating, does the phone retain root access?
Thank you,
Every firmware I have tried has worked fine for me in the UK. At the moment Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr1 with radio 2.22.19.26I is the best so far, really is totally perfect for me.
Make sure you wipe your phone.
Kinda on-topic question...
Why was JF 1.43 RC9 'UK' specifically marked for UK users?

By using “Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr1 with radio 2.22.19.26I” will the T–mobile internet work and whats the down side to wiping the phone and using unofficial 1.5?

UK APNs and UK Numbering format.
Both the ADP and the RC33 builds have the US numbering format, and as this isn't used in Europe it looks like rubbish.
I would recommend the Haykuro H build. This is the build I am most happy with.
You can use the "official" 1.5H build from haykuro aswell, if you want to have root and some other benefits but still retain the base build from HTC.

why are you talking in bold/big text?
if you've forgotten your password AND secret question then thats a bit silly really isnt it? You'll have to check with google if there is any way of recovering from that.
I have used every single 1.5 release that is available on this forum and I've settled with ADP 1.5H (look at my signature). I'm not installing anything else until JF will make his ADP 1.5 version, which he promised he would.
And please stop writing in large bold fonts -- it's childish.
Sorry for silly questions and bold text and I have now found my password for gMail.
Thanks guys for such prompt reply.
I think I’ll take Karolis and Zappza’s suggestion but can’t wait until JF version. Hope he will release it soon
ok this may be a silly question but if the main difference between RC9 and RC33 is the contacts phone number format, couldnt you simply flash over the rc33(or ADP 1.5) then copy over the uk app for contacts?

I've honestly didn't really check what the big differences are if any. But because RC9 was made for the UK, and it's a fact that UK and US versions of the phone differ a bit, I thought it will not hurt using UK firmware.
However, now I'm using ADP which is obviously American (can tell by the number formatting) and it works fine, so in reality who cares

Yeah, Dude's version had normal number layout. It's ADP 1.5 that has dashes in wrong places.
Thanks guys for all your help/advise. I’ve installed it and so fat its running good, except Toggle Settings doesn’t work.
Hope JF will release 1.5 soon.
If it's any help, I've just put the JF 1.5 build onto a UK phone and everything looks hunky dory!
If you're using the H builds, then there will be no number format at all. all numbers are just presented as they are stored. i have numbers like +44 nnnnnn, 07nnnnnnn, (020)nnnnnnn all over the place. even though this probably indicates the programmer is lazy, it also makes it universal. and I love the camera app so much.
btw. I don't really think you can port the contacts app between system. I guess it's tightly coupled with the phone app.
I received an official notification that cupcakes US release will start around may 11 and be rolled out in waves.

From what i have heard they wanted to put some last minute tweaks into it to make sure that it was more user friendly.

I believe it was to give developers time to get their stuff compatible, so that t-mobile service wasn't swamped with calls from people having problems which stem from incompatible apps.

- Because they didn't have to make sure Amazon Marketplace, MyFaves, Yahoo IM, MSN IM, & AIM would work on it.
- Because a different management team controls Europe than the one that controls the US, and they made different decisions about how long to wait before releasing it.
Pick one.

You will not receive normal OTA updates from T-mobile. You can either upgrade manually or download the JF Updater from the market.

Of course it will. The one on the HTC page is for the Android Developer Phone, not the US G1. The US G1 version will take away root and add MyFaves, Amazon Market, and Yahoo, MSN, and AOL IM.
i find the htc's 1.5 still really choppy and laggy.. kinda dissapointed with it
I wonder how much of a difference there will be other than Tmobile apps of course.
I got tired of waiting and upgraded myself last night,I also got root access.Tmobile and HTC can shove it up their ass.....we US users pay the highest prices,get the phone first and we have to wait.
The new 1.5 cupcake comes with some nice new features but still kinda laggy,but it´s worth it.
I also see absolutely no reason to wait. JF1.5 ftw.

Having the update coming out first doesn't mean its good, the US may want to modify its update by looking at the other updates to make it perfect
Something that a really like on the 1.5 is the option to select high quality on youtube.
The on-screen keyboard is nice too for quick texting but the buttons are quite small.. since g1 screen is smaller than the iphone.. other than that scrolling is still choppy.. battery still need A LOT of improvements.. btw i dont really know why g1's battery sux so hard since the cpu is clocked at mediocres ~240mhz - ~380mhz max instead of 528mhz.. oh yeah gps is better now.. works even inside buildings for the most part.
So I've been checking back to HTC European Home and UK sites to see if they have added the TD2 to the support site. Well A few days ago they finally did add it but no Download Tab.
Today I saw a DL Tab and got kinda excited. Well.... It was a free trial for CoPilot. I think that's pretty cool but want a Radio upgrade or something worthwile. I will try CoPilot but with GPS in the car and Google Maps with GPS active I don't think I have much use for it.
So Since they finally added Support to the EU and UK sites do you think that a ROM is coming soon?

As of today (Tuesday, December 8th in New Zealand, December 7th in North America), the Google Maps 3.2.1 Navigation hack no longer works on Android. I am told that navigation is not available to my destination.
It worked fine for two weeks until today.
Posting this here in case anyone else also discovers Google Nav for non-US is now dead (or to find out if maybe I'm the one with the problem).
I didn't change anything, so something 'out there' has changed.
Anyone? Is it still on? Or is the party over for now?
yup its dead..

Updates tend to be staggered so keep trying. This is, of course, assuming you're on 1.27.161.1 at present
Yay!!
I'm downloading now
About time! Though having said that, the unbranded one was only rolled out last week, so not too long after I guess?
Umm... it's only 27.32 Mb???

It's only a small update, some bug fixes and the like. It's normal
Ah I see -
I'm not sure where I read, but for some reason I thought it was about 330 Mb!?
hmm...
Ok, well it's installed and now loading up
Will give you feedback in a few mins
Hmm....
Nothing spectacular at the moment...
Scrolling is smooth (it was smooth initially anyways though)...
Got a score of 1900 on Quadrant, whereas I was getting 1800 up till now...
Something is synchronising constantly for the last few minutes (the two arrows in a circle), that's about it at the moment
Really need to test this at home - hopefully the signal issue is fixed! (Kept dropping randomly)

You caught me Hope you don't mind , I though my sig looked a buit Naff with nothing in it, lol
but yea, I wish voda would let the OS be, yea ok maybe add an app thats of use, but messing about with stock apps, thats not what I am paying for. I am hoping that rooting s-off will get rid of this vodafone restriction.
I a ( and have asked in the QA section) if it was possible to do what you could do with the old nokias, and thats edit the phones product code so that it would install the offical OTA update (i.e the Eu standard) rather than the branded one.
Also for Ireland
Also now available for Vodafone Ireland. They're possibly the same version of firmware though.

I don't mind at all mate!!
The gold card that worked on previous HTC handsets would've done the job here too but seems it doesn't with the Sensation at present (which worked in much the same way as old Nokia handsets in that it hid the phone real product code)
hopfully they are working on the gold card, I have seens ome threads regarding development and testing of the gold card, but I assume this is more likly to work when s-off has been achieved.
Once we have S-OFF we can go custom so stock RUUs will be pointless. Just use a custom ROM based on the stock ROM!
Have they done anything sneaky in it that will effect s-off later or is the H-Boot the same? I know the last update for the Legend from Vodafone made it a lot more awkward to root it and at the moment neither Htc nor Vodafone have said if Vodafone will allow s-off. Just a bit scared to update and be ****ed later.
well i asked this on the vodafone forum and the mods replied stating that they don't see why Vodafone would not allow the s-off update to go through. I guess its a good sign when you dont just get the generic 'We don't know at this time'
also I am guessing with a modded rom, this would be better than a stock rom, yet how would you go about getting updates for a modded rom? Just wait for a modder to release an update, also with a modded rom, do they just use the base rom i.e euro standard.
