The "OMG I just ['got updated' OR 'updated'] to Cupcake" Thread...

[MzBlack]

Makes a change. we were ages after you with the last update.

My response exactly lol

 

[MzBlack]

Lol =P

----
On a side note...

First impressions are: I'm very impressed...

Polished UI with much nicer icons for apps..
Fantastic features.
Camcorder (Video Recorder) works like a dream. Although I'm not sure if it was because I wasn't talking loud enough but the volume on the videos I made didn't seem very loud...
Google Talk replaces my IM button..
Virtual keyboard is great (I'm actually better than I thought I would be at using the keyboard...I thought I'd suck and make loads of mistakes...)
Orientation seems to be a bit odd...it coudl just be me though...

More to come....when I get a chance to look at it some more...

The browsers different too and the ui for text messages...and wen u pull the notification bar down lovin the lil background

Yeah the new background looks really kool....

And I didn't check the messages tab...but I just did...and you are right...
Looks a lot neater now as well...

AND WE HAVE SMILEYS!!! WOOOO!! I was wondering if we'd ever get them....and we do...little green android-type smileys!! So freaking kool! =D

The browser isn't all that different from what I can see...

Just got the OTA update this morning, all the updates are pretty cool however the orientation of the screen doesn't seem to change when I tilt the phone. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

Yeah...you need to turn on the setting...

Settings --> Sound and Display

 

[Phillycent]

Excellent! thanks for that, thought I might be missing something.

 

[wills1980]

was just about to head to bed and up popped the update! liking it so far. nice UI changes and things seem faster. sad we still aint got latitude though

 

[RozzaC]

Yeah..I want latitude...even though I won't use it probably

 

[rbrstr]

UK or USA????

 

[RozzaC]

Another new thing I've noticed...

When you press and hold the power button...you can choose to switch airplane mode on and off...

 

[dynodroid]

Latitude works on the JF1.5 builds...

 

[skeptic82]

Well, I just finished rooting and updating to JF 1.5. I'll have to admit, since I'm not well versed in Linux it was a frightening experience (I'd really hate to brick my phone.)

I have a couple of questions though. I see people remarking about the background of the notification bar being different. Mine looks exactly the same as before. Is this a feature of the OTA update only? I'm confused.

Also, since I reformatted my SD card to flash the updates, should I reformat it back to FAT? Or is it ok to leave it as FAT32??

Other than that, this build looks awesome. I love the keyboard and the music widget. I'm in cupcake heaven!!!!

Edit: One more thing, when I was doing the video tutorial, he held the start button to power off the phone and one of the options was for vibrate mode. I don't have this. What gives?

I have not seen any comments here on AF about Notif_bar being diff...??

Just leave it FAT32 ... it is fine and you may want to install other builds in the future

I dont know about the "vibrate - mode " thing ???

 

[MzBlack]

Yeah...you need to turn on the setting...

Settings --> Sound and Display

ohh I missed that one! Thanks!
Also noticed gmail looks neater...

 

[pacothebandit]

I suppose this is the only thing I've seen on it. I did notice the background of the apps drawer though, looks awesome.

As T-Mobile continues to improve customers' G1 experience, Android 1.5 will begin rolling out to T-Mobile G1 customers the week of May 11.

This post is LONG overdue, but i'm glad you did post it... where did you get this message?

 

[cclautti]

it was on the official t-mobile forum site from an employee of tmo, ironically when i went back to get the url to post it, it was removed for "rule violation" so it makes me think it has some validity

They fact that they removed it makes you think it was valid? Huh?
