RC29 Update for T-Mobile G1

[kegammons]

Cali here. I got my phone about mid-last week and haven't received one update yet.

i'm hoping RC29 will include flash-plugin, word, excel, and pdf support, and ability to setup multiple gmail accounts.

well, we can dream can't we(pun intended)

i was told when i got the phone i would no be able to get updates because i'm running it on AT&T but when i woke up this morning i got the update. I can agree that the update does save more battery life but i feel like the wifi signal isn't as strong as before and some apps such as Gmail have started to crash when in the past i never got a crash message.

In the uk and running on tc5 rc7. Anyone in the uk had an update?

 

[SnoWake]

Still no "push" of the update here in NorCal - and I've tried every means at my disposal to PULL the update as described here - but I just can't get the process to work for me.

It doesn't make me love this phone any less just know there are kinks that need to be worked out and i'm greatful i got to get in on the ground floor! I loved this phone from the moment i read about it and i'm still loving it!

Just got off the phone with the rep in Houston and he gave me a different date (Nov. 11th) for the new upgrade. In part, this will include notification of POP3 email, browser software patch update, imap mail notification and text msg cursor will now highlight in the compose field. Let's hope this helps.

Goodyear, AZ here... got my update to RC29 tonight around 8:20pm MST

the Blog lists the Fixes there are Many. the Prob i have is the Endless contact Sync and my Battery life is Brutal maybe 3-4 hours. i need this Update i was really getting anoid with this phone untill i found out there is a fix i just need it now

I had to erase all my contacts to stop this from happening. It was horrible. Hopefully udate it got fixed that. Usb changed from an option in settings to sync to when you plug it in you just drop notification bar to "mount". Everything else seems the same.

Someone mentioned this on a different thread. I had the same problem, and to fix it (workaround) I performed the following steps:

1. Export your Google Contacts (Keep a list of who is in what group, as this will be lost).
2. Delete All Contacts from the Google Server.
3. Sync the Phone
4. Import Google Contacts (Reset the groups).
5. Sync the Phone

Once complete, you will stop the endless sync loop.

HTH,

San diego here, still waiting, my bat life blows, need this update, bought my phone on launch date, love it, wish our camera was better, 3 megapixel, my last 1.5 mega pixel camera phone was better. So any new news on RC29 in soCal?

 

[richard7791]

battery does blow!! my G1 gets really hot on the bottom cover, on the right side!! Am I the only one getting this?

 

[PhantomTrace]

Just got the update, oh and it erased all my contacts

 

[Gfunk]

And lost all my contacts, sync with gmail and got some of my contacts back. I hope in the future, they give you an option when to start the update later, at least giving you some kind of heads up. So I could've backed up some of my contacts. So to that sexy red-head that I met the other day, I really did lose your number, but it wasn't my fault

 

[drustvold]

I get obama, a dem gov for my state, and the G1 update all in one night, is there anything else I should ask for?

 

[brianb7590]

ive been experiencing shorter battery life since the update (i did it manually) anyone else?

 

[lkosova]

Me too. My wife just got the ota update and I did manual. Yes , battery life is like 4-5 hours with no talk just leaving it on and the battery or back of the phone seems hot with extended downloading and using applications. Will see how my wife's phone acts in the next couple days.

If a problem will see about trying another battery.

I also deleted many programs that I don't use and it sped up the phone since it was dragging before.

well, we can dream can't we(pun intended)

i am so with you too.. i got the update but it didn't come with support for any of the named above and all i can do is preview these docs through an email attachment via gmail

still crossin my fingers for a future update

 

[cheehoo62]

...oh yes and I did get the update haha but my battery life doesn't seem to be fazed by it

but I did notice that you have to manually specify whether to mount the usb connection to your pc this time around instead of an auto-option to do so in the settings itself

thats about it
