software version

Hi,

Just a quick question as I am slightly confused about one thing:

I am not sure whether I have the latest software version of Android and if this is the case, how can I download it?

I have a T-mobile G2 Touch which tells me in settings/about phone that the firmware is at version 1.5 but the software is 1.0.0.A6288

Does this mean that my phone is still on Android 1.0? If so, how can I upgrade to the latest version?

I have been having a few problems with the phone and am wondering if this could something to do with it.

Thanks,
Will

Do you have the Tmo Mytouch 3G or do you have the HTC HERO AKA G2? guessing the mytouch ... and if your firmware is 1.5 thats correct and your build # should be CRC1 if it is the latest

Just had confirmation on another forum that HTC have not decided if they can and how they are going to release firmware updates for branded phones. e.g. OTA, from carrier/HTC

so basically if you want future firmware support I wouldn't recommend buying a branded phone until confirmation of what happens.

Quite worring really!

I have the T mobile G2. Does this make a difference?


There isnt a Tmobile G2 in the united states which is why i am confused... so is this the phone you have as it is the Mytouch 3G http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=MyTouch-3G-Blackhttp://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=MyTouch-3G-Black or are did you get your HTC HERO aka G2 from Germany?
