Help Update to 1.6?

Hello,

I recived my HTC Magic phone some days ago(love it) and reccently saw there was a 1.6 update on android.com?


How do I get it? Bought the phone without any mobile operator bindings.. but iam using telia.

Best Regards
Bumster.

The update for the 1.6 donut has only been released in the UK and the US OTA (over the air). Apparently this is the only way that the magic will receive its update and you can not get it through a download on a site. I'm still waiting in Canada for it. AHHHHH!!!!

Ours is better than iPhone's. The Magic automatically scans for updates available over the air and you will be notified right away when the update is available to download straight from the phone.

Apple requires you to connect to iTunes on the desktop while Magic does it over the air (thru the network or wifi).

All it needs is your patience.

Hi. It does. An update available icon appears on the top left hand corner of your phone screen when a new update is available for the market apps you have downloaded or the OS. I was quite impressed with this as compared with my previous experience with my N97 and the iPhone.


The apps that you have downloaded do not automatically show an icon to download an update to the app unless you actually go into the market place to see your downloaded apps and see that there is in fact an update to download. This is true for the 1.5 version, unless you are speaking about the 1.6 update and that is the way that it shows an update is available?

I have to disagree with you here, 2-3 times a week I get an icon in the notification tray (Top left corner) telling me there are app updates available for download from the marketplace. I click on the icon and get taken to the my downloads area of the market place, this is with android 1.5.

It's a standard feature I don't know why it's not working for you.

Yup. Mine too. Don't need to go marketplace before the update icon appears on the 1.5.
