Press menu, settings, about phone. All the info is in there. Cupcake is firmware 1.5, Donuts is firmware 1.6.
i don't know why you answered that. clearly if this person is not smart enough to know how to check what version they are running, they should not have a SMARTPHONE.
Probably the same type of person that rates low on widget apps because they wont launch, they are too stupid to know you add it to your home screen.
...or the kind of person that just bought (or got given) a HTC Magic.
There's no reason to troll on the new guys, we were all new once!

I searched, but didn't find anything... I'm considering buying a new phone from Sprint and thought I'd see what the possibilities are of getting a device that Android will be stable on in the near future (or now).
what do you call the G1?

Sorry, I thought it was fairly obvious what I meant...
What is a CURRENT device from SPRINT that is most like to have a stable android release in the near future?
I don't like the G1. I need a new phone.
Go check out the Vogue forums, several people are happy with Android 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?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I knowledge on this subject is very limited, hence these questions.
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?

You will loose all your settings and apps so will have to re-install them.

That’s not too bad. How about all my contacts and I forgot my gMail password and answer to my secret question?

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, I meant the looks.
I'm using the dudes cupcake .9 and I'm in the uk, I find it 100% for uk use, never noticed about the uk number format.

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 have posted here for awhile mainly over the Tilt and Wing phones. However I now have a G1 and I am confused. I first bought the G1 over craigslist and swore it had bluetooth audio working. I didn't like the web on it as much as my iPhone so I restored it and was going to sell it. Most on craigslist just wanted $100 for it so I thought no way I will just keep it and they will update it etc.. Plus I didn't like how my iPhone didn't have bluetooth audio.
I re-activated my phone and now no bluetooth audio... I could be hallucinating I guess, maybe a2dp never was working and I am thinking pf just my tilt. I have searched these forums and Google and every post I see says A2DP came with a "cupcake" update in late January 09... however my phone says its up to date and I can't find how to activate it.
Now I have also read about how people are rooting their phones etc.. I am very computer versed and did custom roms and unlocking on my old HTC phones but just a bit out of my element I guess.
Any help would be appreciated!
Your phone says it is up to date probably because it is searching for a T-Mobile USA update. The Android 1.5 rollout for T-Mobile USA hasn't begun yet. It is scheduled to begin in a few days. When that occurs you will have proper A2DP.
Just wait for 1.5 U.S. update (aka "Cupcake") The update suppose to be sent this week coming according to Dominic, T-mobile forums Moderator.

Ok cool! Sorry to repost if I did (I didn't see anything when I searched though)
A2DP is a huge asset over the iphone imo... its the reason I put the iPhone away and pulled this G1 back out...
Any word on multitouch for the G1 though? I like being able to pinch and resize webpages.

You need to root and mod to get Multitouch on the Browser. JFv1.5 ADP. Also comes with A2DP
Not to be a jerk, but you literally had to gloss over like 15 threads all highlighting how to get AD2P and multitouch on your G1 to get to the button to post your thread. This forum is congested enough with people asking redundant questions in individual threads let alone making whole new ones. Next time try searching, or at the very least reading the sticky threads at the top that have "Read First!" plastered all over them.

And iphone will have a2dp in the newest software update.
Multitouch you will need a custom rom by jesusfreke, haykuro or dude. if you install one of those you will get a2dp as well

I went thru about 50 threads all multiple pages with mentions of rooting and a2dp in coming update called cupcake then I found threads that said cupcake was RC30? however many say the newest update is RC33 also said update was set to come out in late january and it is now almost mid may so I assumed it had to be out. There is a ton of misinformation!

Thanks I am excited because I am soooo sick of Windows Mobile and I am a linux ubuntu, suze and red hat freak anyways so I think once I get going a lot will come natuarally! I am hoping anyways!
RC30 was the 3rd update from Google, then came RC33, which is the current stock build(or build, or at least was until Cupcake/1.5 came out. 1.5 has AD2P and many updates. Those of us with Root access can install cooked ROMS, which thanks to guys like Hayruko and Jesusfreke, are already using the 1.5 firmware and have been for a month or so, along with Hacks like multitouch. This info is all readily available on this forum and places like Engaget.

So far it seems to work just like the iPhones multitouch! Its just as sweet as the A2DP imho!
As the title says, is there any way to get the htc hero boot screen (the one when the android pops up and waves) for my mytouch 3g. I got the latest radio and spl and got cyanogen 4.2.5

actually i posted that on my early days at xda.
BEFORE i put that sig up. now i know the answer so please not bother me.
It looks like a CONSPIRACY from HTC.
They even enforce as to UPGRADE to there OFFICIAL SENSE rom.
country after country & Zone by Zone and than STUCK as without rooting.
At the same time there NEXUS ONE (made by HTC FOR GOOGLE) CAN BE FREELY ROOTTED.
SEE: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...w-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
I think they MUST free as
ROFL, you are freggin' funny.
Its not a conspiracy and this spl probably is rootable but NO DEV is working on it, everyone who ever worked on rooting went over to N1 (sorry if im mistaken) .
Another thing, previous SPLs were rootable, but newer ones are "perfected" as they werent ment to be rooted in the first place.
Oh one more thing, the htc sense ui update is considered a good thing, look at how many hero rom useres there are.
Just stuck

use morelocale app from the store
the word is that HTC will give Magic a 2.1 android update, somewhere in april/may so BT file sending will be possible and so on , we all just have to wait . That is my only reason for rooting ....
Mine as well ...plus some speed boosts here and there
Although if found out that i dont really use BT file sharing only after i have already rooted my phone
Is Time to say GOOD BYE
