System Upgrade 1.47.651..1 (21.43 MB) Now Available

skaramanga · Jul 8, 2010

I just got notice that I have another OTA upgrade, 1.47.651.1 (30.15MB)

I replaced my phone a couple of days ago and did the original upgrade then.

Anyone else gotten two notices? These bricked phone stories make me apprehensive.

Should I wait? :thinking:

This goes to all......................

If you were rooted before update, too bad your not rooted anymore. There are threads here with discussions and links to many sites for new updated root methods. Do the research.

No worries I must have missed the info on a solution for those who were rooted but did the OTA update but I found a remedy on another site.

On another note, was this the feeling you were trying to get across

pretty much.

Google gave out free Droids and Evos to folks who attended the Google IO 2010 conference in SF.

Otherwise I would never have such a high-powered phone. But their trick worked because now I'm learning to program on them - the reason they gave them out to attendees. I had planned to learn Blackberry programming, but a rooted Linux device is so much nicer than a locked down Blackberry and Android seems to offer a lot more power to the programmer.

VERY SICK!!!!! And yes, google is offering a lot more freedom with the software programming than Blackberry and that is why I spoiled myself with the Evo, but kept the Blackberry because it is what it is and I feel like I need it for work! I enjoy all the work you programmers put into this platform and hope it continues for a long time!

Now on a more important note, how do I RSVP for next years Google IO Conference so I get some goodies!!!!

1) No one knew that there would be generous gifts when they signed up. People go there for many reasons other than Android too - I went for Google Maps and just got lucky.

2) You need to wait until they open up ticket sales. This year they opened up early in the year. I registered in February, but it was April - around the time they were sold out - when we found out we were getting a free gift. The second gift was a further surprise during the second day of the conference.

3) It costs real money to go, so not many people would register on the off chance they would get a good gift. This year it was $400 early bird, $500 regular (probably sold out before early bird ended), and $100 student/academic employee with ID.

did you not read this thread before you updated? its been well known for awhile that it would kill your root. You can still reroot it now though. Dont be a downer.

how do i root after the update? or if you could just point me to a thread that covers this that would be cool too. i would read through this thread but there being 900 + posts it seems as though it would be like find a needle in a hay stack

How do i turn off those annoying update popups? Im not doing any updates and Im tired of the prompts. Pls help me. Thanks

ellykay · Jul 15, 2010

Just a quick post to say that I did the update and uploaded juice defender. My battery life has been GREAT!!! I was getting 12 hours some days, 6 hours other days....even 4 hours only before those two changes. Now, it's 20 plus everyday. The only problem is that I don't know which one to credit more.

So happy!!

I'd say it was the update more than the juice defender.

I never really had the same battery issues that others were having (I'm on my 4th EVO replacement). My battery was lasting me more than 24 hours every day, without the Juice Defender.

I downloaded the Juice Defender, in the hopes that it would help increase my battery life by a lot more than I was already getting, but I'm not so sure it really has. It hasn't hurt to have it running, so I've kept it on.

Let me just say, I am far from a noob at software and OS's but for the life of me i don't understand everyone's need to "root" their phone? Is it because they are "in depth techies" or what??? I like my phone the way it is and i don't want to make a brick out of it so i don't think i will be rooting anytime soon.

Do you run Windows at home? How about at work?

Have you ever worked at a job where you wanted to install a program but you could not do it because you did not have admin privileges? Perhaps the IT department wanted to make sure they had no headaches due to staff installing Limewire or screensavers with adware or who knows what.

Still, as a techie, you wanted to install Firefox instead of IE or maybe you needed VLC to play back a video file. In that case it might annoy you to not have admin rights.

Getting "root" is the same as having an admin account on your Windows machine. Typically, some system files are locked down either because the carrier wants to artificially prevent you from installing a competing app or because in "noob" hands you could screw up your phone, leading to returns and repairs.

Getting root access means you can do whatever you want to your OS or even install another version altogether. Maybe you want to remove all the Sprint apps you will never use. Maybe you want to use that premium data fee and connect your laptop wirelessly. Maybe you want to take a screenshot. Maybe you want to try out the developer's Froyo ROM that isn't finished testing yet but might be fun.

There are as many reasons to root as there are people who think of these devices as their own pocket computers rather than static appliances that only do what they did on the day you bought them.

Thanks for the great answer to a ? i've had since i 1st set foot in android land with the EVO. I still need to learn more, otherwise i'm gaining admin rights so i can play hangman

Unless, of course you have a Droid X. Then getting root means you have masonary!

Bomix · Jul 19, 2010

Woke up this morning, and when I got to work, it said system upgrade 1.47 ready to install install now or later.. I was like.. Oh NO! I've been putting this off, It might be time for me to learn how to root, time to just bit the bullet. IT's so annoying having this popup every day.

I think the trials and tribulations of the OTA are over, therefore unsticking this.

marvinlh · Jul 20, 2010

i know that this is a dumb question for u guys but, what does it mean when u say your phone is rooted??? and when i went to htc software update...it says that there is no update avaliable

If you're used to using Windows then here's the analogy - out of the box, you're a user, with root access, you're an Administrator.

It give you more freedom to customize your phone in ways that Sprint/HTC don't provide to the masses.

Proceed with a little caution, as with any Administrator access, you can improve things or screw them up.

Look under Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Software information

If your Software number says 1.47.yadda yadda yadda then you're all up to date.
