No, it's not going to delete any of your installed apps, settings or personal data.

First, I received the update around 6am on 10/3/09.
I was running aHome ... so i said install later ...
I then went into settings and applications and did a force close on aHome ...
Then went to About phone and did update reboot/install ...
All went well ... I always do updates fully charged and usually connected to power...
Here is the current phone Info:
Model number : T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version : 1.6
Baseband Version : 65.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version : 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
Build number : DRC83
=================================
new Market is working...
New google search and voice search is working nicely ...
speak "jim" and it loads many selections including the contacts for all jim's in my phone ... "cvs" need some drugs ... nearest store ...
"weather washington d c ... perfect returned info ....
===================================
So now i said let's try aHome ...
Started it and BOOOM!!! Error and force close loop ...
MENU button would not call up settings...
so resorted to POWER ... cleared force close and then POWER off
Now restart the phone in "Safe Mode" : hold MENU key and touch POWER to begin process ...
Continue to hold the MENU key ... Until you can see in transparent text in the lower left hand corner "Safe mode"
Now you can press MENU again to get to settings ...
Applications ... aHome and then scroll down and do a "Force Stop" under controls ...
this will kill aHome and now you can return to normal operation ...
You will still be in safe mode ... so reboot the phone and you should now be OK .. as you will not have aHome starting up ... and you will have the stock 3 pages of Android ....

Reason: updating list
A couple quick questions about this. Is this update for G1 only? Has anyone gotten the update with their MyTouch? Also If I have my phone rooted can I install this update? Or will it mess things up? Thank you.
I suppose they have to make a version compatible with those phones.
the g1 is special because it has a keyboard (I'm guessing)
anyway, I'm trying to take screenshots with an app called PicMe but I don't know how
it says I need ***ROOT*** access and enabled access to lower level graphics.
how do I do that?

Actually, yes, we always needed an sd card
That's where all the pictures and music were saved
Many apps also required the sd card
The phone comes with a 1 gb sd card when you purchase it

I'm confused, the things in blue are not new as far as I know. Since cupcake there's been music and calendar widgets, you've always been able to download them from the marketplace, and cupcake delivered an onscreen keyboard months ago.

I'm not sure about that,
I do remember surching widgets before but the never seemed to work
Also: the g1 didn't have an onscreen keyboard till now,
Unless I missed that update
I also found another update:
The youtube player is diffrent (along with the mobile version of the youtube webpage)
Also: anybody else notice how much slower it has gotten?
The homescreen takes forever to load up amd has to load up again everytime I exit an app
Hi people, I received my update this morning and now I cant access the internet and my search box doesn't even open now. Is anyone else having this problem and is there any way to fix it besides wiping my phone? Thanks

I'm considering switching to cyanogen's mod
We've had an on-screen keyboard since the "Cupcake".
Some things I found with this new update...
MAPS - it keeps getting better, but it still sucks. You can now search like bus routes etc, and a whole bunch of other crap.
YOUTUBE - Different look etc.
CAMERA - It doesn't take a million years to take a picture anymore, but since I left my SD card in my old phone I can't do ish.
MARKET - Different look.
I don't know what else, but the update was cool I guess.
And for those who can't wait for new updates etc, I think should stop coming to the forum because then you won't know when updates are coming etc, and when it comes it comes. An update on my phone is the last thing I'm worried about.
How come I'm the only one who didn't know there was an onscreen keyboard.
I tried to make it come up before, but it never did
I only ever saw it when I was using open home
Maybe something wrong with my phone? (Probobly not)
Also:
The bowser has also been updated (The zoom and pan interface atleast)
Device(s): Mytouch 4G White (Stock)
Acer Iconia A500 (stock)

Got update on MyTouch yesterday around Noon AZ time, while i was playing tiger woods. After reboot BAM things looked a bit different but i was working so did not care too much.
Noticed market is MUCH easier to navigate,
Something with camera (dont use camera on phone anyways)
Also it feels that it is a bit faster then before. I dont know i have the same things so who knows could be me.

The onscreen keyboard was part of the 1.5 update, if you didn't get 1.5 then, no, you didn't get the keyboard. It didn't pop up automatically, you had to open up settings and turn it on the first time.
Sounds like there is something wrong with your phone, or you didn't get the 1.5 update. The keyboard, and the calendar and music widgets, and the ability to add widgets to the home screen were all part of 1.5.
Hi, I'm from Brasil, and I just got the new Donut update!
I'm having serious problems with my contacts... can anyone help me with this?
For example..
I used to store all my contacts like this:
02111-9999-5555
where:
021 - is my long distance operator
11 - is the local area code
9999-5555 - is the phone number
I used to have no problems with the Cupcake!
When someone call me, the G1 now shows only the number 9999-5555 not showing the contact name/photo!
The Android seems to be doing an exact search, is there a way to make a 'like' search?
This works on all phones.. do you have any help for me?
I made a test, changed 1 contact to the exact phone number, and worked, but I'm always traveling and I really need the Operator + Area code!

Rodrigo Zaratin - @rzaratin
HTC - G1 - Donut
Only a quess ... have you try the settings in locale .. not sure if that will make a difference ....
But the 11 digit number is the typical US format like :
@rzaratin:
You can add many phone numbers under the same contact
Click edit in the contacts page
There's a + next to their number
Click it to add a number
I sugesting having your 021199995555 syatem as the primary number and the 99995555 as a secondary number
And to everybody who is telling me that we already had all those features: I guess I really never updated it
I assumed it already had cupcake since that's what it was advertised with
But no, I have never received an update untill donut

Well... this is a solution.... but I have more than 300 contacts... and will not be fun to create a new phone number to each contact...
I'm trying to download other contact apps, but they have the same problem...
