Cupcake US Release Date: May 11

I received an official notification that cupcakes US release will start around may 11 and be rolled out in waves.
More info can be found: http://droiddeveloper.com/

so late :-(

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 agree....we get everything last

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.

how are updates going to work if i have a modded rc33? w/root

- 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.

i think so because the one on htc was also for developers
so there should be a little more stability i think and that's about it

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.

Android 2.0 Eclair.

I was wondering these few days that whether HTC or Google itself will release Enclair for our Magics or not. Seriously, i was so excited after i watch the google nav beta vid. Enclair seem to work flawlessly. what do you all think about?

I'm excited for one.
I think before we see custom ROM's on 2.0 HTC has to release their own so dev's can start working.

You do know google navigator will only work for the US right?

Nah, only at first.
As time goes by and the maps have been re-written, they will come out everywhere else also.
What good is US-only navigation on a cell phone? No good if you ask me.

oh that's a shame I didnt' realise it wasn't available outside of USA...... same with Google Voice :*(

why is this thread not locked yet

Guys,
why there are no 2.0 unofficial ROM yet?
I remember long time before 1.5 was released for common users, It was possible to compile and install it from source.

Google hasn't released their source and the devs are hard at work trying to fix the million bugs while porting it. Fix one, 5 more appear.

yeah, we still need to wait for the original htc source b4 we can do anything stupid

I've thought that Motorola (which was released last Friday) supposed to have the 2.0. So why google still hiding the sources?

bahahahahahah oh man

3.1 leaked?!

I hope someone can get their hands on a leaked version

Nice find
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

i hope this update solves my camera issue i really dont wanna return this

im told it will start rolling out first of next week, as soon as monday

I don't 100% love the transformer, but it is awesome. I do love how Asus is really putting a solid effort in. I've been pretty impressed at them staying on top of stuff.
for my 2nd gen tablet, I'll want something with a little less bezel... aka a tablet that isn't designed around a keyboard dock
Good work Asus!

yeah they been pretty good about the support I also like how they been puttting the updates on the asus website

I am not 100% impressed with honeycomb. But Google is willing to roll the dice and figure it out after release. I am sure 6 months from now we will all be very happy.

Lol that's how everything is now. Manufacturers so eager to get to the market half the time the roll off products halfway done and fix things as they go.

Must be close to done if they're sending it to the press.

I think you mean released, at least when I hear the term "dropped" it means it's been cancelled.

I thought it's canceled

Same here. I have just read the other thread in General about 3.1 and then I saw this one on Dev subforum and thought... Have they already dropped it? But if it's not still out...
Until I opened the thread and read it.
Regards.

Id love for it to come out monday but as a working man, in all reality, monday is memorial day, wtf would they release it on a holiday?

Dropped in the younger generation means it is released. This comes from the music industry..

i thought it was cancelled as well, but phew! im very glad to see that asus is right on the ball with the updates, worse thing is when you get a beautiful piece of hardware and then find out you have no support for it, good on ya asus!

That's not a custom rom, but anyways... dock firmware still 209? Seems a bit weird since its mentioned a new firmware will be out...

Android/Google starting to piss me off!

I know everyone is going to say,"just root and install custom roms", but I am starting to get really sick and tired of no communication from Google about ICS updates. There's got to be something we can do to get their attention.

Google is the master of ****ty customer service. You will not get anything from them.

Yeap, it's true!! It really piss me off also!! But even so, once they come up with an update...I'll probably wait for a DEV from XDA to put his hands over it

I totally pulled that date out of my ass, but apparently it's more important for people to have a date, even if fictive, than a product working properly. I'm sure there's a reason, mind you.

wow now AT&T HTC Vivid getting ICS OTA....
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-v...rickle-out-dialer-trick-appears-help-it-along

i don't know about you guys but my phone is BEAST! Rooted, oc'd, and themed... no update will make ics run like the rom I'm running now.
If you have a non-rooted ns and you're waiting for an update, maybe you should consider another phone BC stock will always be crap compared to a customized rom and kernel combo. If I was going to stay stock, I'd get something with touchwiz, sense, or even weaksauce apple.
If you are rooted, what the hell are you complaining about? Have you looked in the development section? Do you not see all the freaking options we have? There's only one other phone in America thats running stable ics... and guess what... its a nexus.
As far as I'm concerned, Google showed love by allowing me to run ics for the past 4 months while phones that have hit the market since then haven't even gotten a whiff of real ice cream. So just chill out and take comfort in knowing that the best is yet to come
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...

The only reason I am waiting for the damn OTA is for a new preferred radio and a damn fix on my 3G connection going down after being in a bad area for a long period of time. This is why I went back to GB because I need to use my phone reliably.

I just hope that it's an actual update to 4.0.3 and not 4.0.3 restarting.

New update coming soon maybe?

Spoke with a T-Mobile tech support for the problems I was having with my phone I asked about when we could expect a software update like AT&T and Verizon got he told me between the first and 2nd week of March but take it with a grain of salt but we'll see

Please realize T-Mobile employees usually have no clue what they are talking about. I'll take that comment with the entire great salt lake...

Always depends on who you talk to. Occasionally you get that rare gem who is actually passionate about what they're talking about. Or you get someone who just tells you what you want to hear.
That said the timeline seems to be right for a March release.

Updated both my wife's and my G4 hen it came out. The down side was the whole bootloader unlock wiping the phone. I made the mistake of not backing up my contacts prior to updating a d had to restore my lollipop backup so I could back them up to my sd card and then go bacl yo Marshmallow. The other thing that I don't like is the way Marshmallow handles sd cards, fyi, there is no adoptable storage on LG/T-Mobile's version of Marshmallow and the sd card fix does not work on Marshmallow and all Titanium backups will need to be put on internal or it won't backup cause it will tell you that the backup on external sd is not writeable. Over all I liked it just switched phones cause I thought my G4 had major issues last weekend and neither me nor T-Mobile could get my phone to make or receive calls to or from my wife, daughter,. dispatcher, or my boss after 3 and a half hours of trying at a store and I had to have a working phone so I upgraded to the V10 and love it.

Seriously, are people that impatient. You know mm will be available real soon and the g4 already got it. You don't think They are saving the fixes for one big update? Why fix something in lollipop if you can fix it 2 weeks later and bring marshmallow too? Not to mention I don't seem to have all these issues some complain about.
