Official thread for US G1 users / owners to talk about who got their new Cupcake 1.5 update and when will they get them and etc.
Please keep on topic in this thread, don't be asking how do i root my phone, how do i get JF / haykuro build, apps to sd - there are threads to ask about those.
Thank you.

I saw in another, now closed thread that someone was told by a CSR that T-Mobile wouldn't release cupcake until June. Again, whatever CSRs say isn't worth much, but the way it was written, it seems as if the CSR went out of her way to look this info up before telling the poster definitively.

this is not the thread to talk about your rooting and loving it! this is strictly for non rooted, waiting for, or info about cupcake manuals or ota.

I just got off the phone with them, cause I've never gotten the OTA, i've always done it manual; he wanted to make sure the imei # they had for the phone was correct; and in passing he mentioned they were getting ready to push out the ota updates.;)

This thread says it is for US G1 users, which I am using a USA G1.
It says not to ask about root. Only that if you got your cupcake, and I do.
I believe the thread you are referring to is this one.

Yes, it reports up to date.
As of now, there is NO official retail 1.5 update in the US.
The only reason everyone is confused is because of the photo that surfaced last week of the OTA update on a *rooted* phone, which was essentially a hoax because it didn't come out until EVERY site picked up the story, that it wasn't running official software.
The idea for this thread is great, but we really need the ROOTED users to stop commenting and causing further confusion.

Well i mean considering that there are about a gazillion other cupcake threads that are out there it just seems like a waste of space and when people make anything remotely close to another topic it gets merged, cupcake isn't coming out today, just like it didn't come out all of the other times that people said that it was coming out. I'm just saying there are many cupcake threads to discuss it, once it officially comes out then yeah make this thread i totally agree, but watch it go another month and still no " I got my cupcake update (us);)

Again, the OTA updates have not been rolled out for 1.5 unless you are running an ADP phone, or have a hacked image flashed.
They'll release it soon I'm sure. We're all just waiting.

Agreed... this thread is a waste til someone actually has it.... we have plenty of open threads for cupcake discussion....and if you are worried about the "rooters" hijacking it ive seen many "non-rooters" asking questions in threads that are dedicated to modified roms and firmware builds... they usually even get their questions answered by said "rooters". Lets all plaay nice and keep cool otherwise it will probably get locked like the other one did... and once you all get your cupcake ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

There's more policing going on around here than is needed. So somebody made a thread about an official update that's not out yet...? So what?! Three quaters of the threads on these forums could be eradicated simply by using the search feature.
Back on topic, I'm thinking that with Europe now recieving the update, it HAS to imminent here in America. Hopefully... ...Today..?

Would somebody please tell me if Cupcake is officially out in the US or not. I'm a G1 user by the way. People talk about it being installed and all, and official announcements talk about end of May. And what on earth does 'flush it with the german update' mean? Please, somebody, enlighten me.. :confused:
Crashdamage
05-09-2009, 08:11 AM
No users in North America have gotten the actual OTA Cupcake update yet. US users will start getting the OTA update sometime after May 11. They will go out totally randomly and not all at once, so it might be maybe 2-3 weeks after May 11 before you get it. Those who say they have it already are either in Europe or have rooted their phone and installed a custom build of Cupcake.
There has already been several threads started concerning this. To simplify, you should post questions about Cupcake updated in the sticky thread 'Official - I Got my Cupcake update (US)'
You can find it here: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/official-i-got-my-cupcake-update-us-17139/
Next time, please do a forum search before starting an unnecessary new thread.

And why, since I feel this is such a pointless thread, did I feel the need to add, not one, but two posts to it expressing my displeasure at it?
Oh, and...
What makes my opinion more important than the 36 others who have posted in it?

Just play nice, hem. When your life is over, do you want to be remembered and then quickly forgotten as having been "That Guy"? This is a social community, so don't be anti-social. Please be tolerant and helpful. All of us were new to this forum at one time and probably asked a stupid question or twelve. We still mess up and make multiple threads on the same subject and sometimes a thread will be started and disappear so quickly that a person just logging on has missed the discussion from the previous hour. So chill.sh&t happens. As far as this thread goes, the sstory behind it is..Us nonrooters wanted a place of our own to wait out our update and when the thread was started, the best available info was it would be anyday. We found out later we would be waiting for a week, but there was no better thread already started so we jacked this one. But come the 11th, when the first OTA is due, and we get a link to manually download, these 8 or 10 inital pages will be insignificant. Just look how big the rooted threads are with each build/update.
Now Welcome to the AC!

I wonder why no one updated the original postings (or why they moved it up).

As for who asked why randomly, its to keep there servers from overloading mostly. And to drive some customers batty!

i merged it because we already have a thread where everyone's waiting for their US cupcake.
kinda don't see how being stickied is a problem. probably un-sticky it after cupcake rolls out. i think it's stickied so we don't get redundant cupcake threads.

Additionally, I believe TMobile said they would begin distributing the 1.5 update at the end of this week (ie May 15th).

Well they don't have a reason to hold onto the update anymore. The reason they gave for waiting till this week and not releasing it last week like T-mobile UK was because they wanted to give developers time to update their software. I think most developers have updated their apps so hopefully we'll be getting ours real soon!

have faith, my brothers and sisters, the Cupcake will arrive. we must band together to defend our all-powerful OS against he fruity tyrannical overlords.
be well, be well.
as someone else said, it's amazing that there are 12 pages of posts, all of people talking and complaining about how they haven't gotten cupcake yet, even though this is a thread for people to post about them actually getting the update.
i think we need to stop posting threads about how we haven't gotten the update yet, and start posting when we actually do get it. and in the mean time, i think all the irrelevant posts should be deleted.

Will the speed of your connection determine how quickly you receive the update (2g/Edge vs. 3g)? Also, if that is true, will enabling a wifi connection initiate receiving the update sooner?

This is just a guess -
It probably won't initiate the update any quicker based on your connection, BUT since it only prompts you to install it once it's been completely downloaded in the background, you may *see* the update sooner on a faster connection.

Official developer notice regarding release date of 1.5 from Google about 2 hours ago, via email:
Android users in the United States will begin
to have their devices updated to 1.5 from the end of this week. We
recommend that you first focus on future proofing your 1.1 apps by testing
with the latest Android SDK so that your apps can work on both Android 1.1
and 1.5 devices. We will provide more information when the majority of
users have migrated their devices to Android 1.5 to help you with your app
upgrade plans.
As far as updating goes, it's random and "pushed" to your phone (similar to JMS). So, it's random, won't matter if you're on wifi, gprs, edge, or similar.

No, I wish to go with something that's battle tested (QA'd) and approved. As opposed to homebrewing my main line of connection as a phone to use an unstable/untested/hacked image. Yeah, feel free to do as you will with your phone and all that jazz -- but I'll stick with something that's stable in an LTS release.
I toy enough with building linux drivers in my day job to want to mess with my phone.

Right, but the point is you've physically spent the time to root your phone, downgrade, to flash to a hacked firmware. That's gravy and all, but once modded it's no longer official and now when another release comes out you'll have to update again with another JF release. Basically, it's no longer "automatic".
My point is this. I dislike messing with stuff that already works, works well, and is well supported. Hacking my phone to update it 2 weeks early is pointless at that stage and introduced potential issues (hidden or not). If it's a phone, I want it to run an LTS release and nothing more.
So, coming into an OTA release thread to say you have "cupcake" via a hacked image is not helping anyone. In fact, it's quite detrimental to the thread at hand. The point of the thread is to track the release, not the fact that you spent your time to flash your phone to be super cool.

I'm cool with anyone who flashes/roots/etc their phone. I'd do it too, but I just don't have the time to spend flashing untested (and unverified) builds on my cell phone (which receives important calls).
I'll probably update via the update.zip means when it's released, but I know it's not a modified version since it's signed with the proper keys. ;)
I get the point that it takes as much work as well, but this is once over typically 6mo and it's official. I don't have time to keep flashing to fix things like the Market when it's broken, etc.
I'll now slowly drift away since I think I made my points overly clear :)

You might want to read through some of the posts. Originally Tmob posted that it'd be May 11 for the start of the roll out. Then they updated a different post to say it'd be the end of this week. So, it caused confusion.

is English your main language?(seriously) Those two statements do not conflict whatsoever.
"The week of" is a common way to denote the span of a particular week based on the first day of that week.
example:
I have settlement on my new house on May 27th
I have settlement on my new house the week of May 25th
Both of those statements are correct and they don't mean the same as:
I have settlement on my new house on May 25th

I don't see how "the week of the 11th" and "the end of next week" conflict. Wouldn't the end of the week still be the week of the 11th? I was never under the impression after reading either announcement (before they were posted here) that it would have been rolling out Monday or Tuesday.
I wouldn't be surprised if nobody got anything until Friday, but I guess we're approaching "the end of the week" so today or tomorrow wouldn't surprise me either.

Both of those statements are correct and they don't mean the same as:
I have settlement on my new house on May 25th
No need to be a deuchebag, but let me breakdown this part of the sentence so it's more understandable to you (and will help explain why some were confused):
starting the week of May 11th.
Monday, is the start of a business work week. By using the word "starting", it's ambiguous and depending on how quickly you read through that sentence -- it could come off leaving you with the impression of the release STARTING at the beginning of the week, as opposed to the end.
It's poor word choice, because yes it's starting the week of May 11th, but it's not actually starting till the end of the week of May 11th. Does that make more sense now?
As far as my English is concerned, I'm pretty sure it's on par with your own.
EDIT: How would you interpret your example if I modified them to fit this real example?
I have a settlement on my new house at the end of next week.
I have a settlement on my new house starting the week of May 25th.
Would you expect to have your settlement earlier next week based on the second example?

I was not being a douchebag.. there are many members here from countries outside the US and I don't know who is who.

No, it doesn't make more sense.
They were referring to an ongoing process that will take several weeks to complete.
"starting the week of" is NOT the same as "the start of the week"
(again, unless you're reading it like broken English)
EDIT: How would you interpret your example if I modified them to fit this real example?
I have a settlement on my new house at the end of next week.
I have a settlement on my new house starting the week of May 25th.

This example wouldn't make sense as the settlement is not an ongoing process. It falls on exactly 1 day. The software rollout will take 2 to 3 weeks, *starting* this week.

So if I told you T-Mobile was rolling out an update starting next week after you were originally told it'd start rolling out at the end of the week -- you wouldn't think the update was coming sooner rather than later?
If not, then we should probably agree to disagree. I understand your point about it being an ongoing process, but basically they are going to "flip a switch" (not literally) and the release will begin. The point that it's sent randomly and takes many more days to complete doesn't really factor in I believe.

We all can't wait for the release but I have a feeling those who are upset about any conflict concerning the release date will be very frustrated once the update begins and they possibly have to wait 3 weeks to get it. I'm just glad it's been confirmed and will soon be available. As an old sidekick user I can tell you OTAs will make you crazy if you let them.

The better 'word selection' for explain when the OTA roll out would be :
Starting the Week number 19 (US standard)
Starting the Week number 20 (EU & ISO standard)
:p:D

LOL to me the end of next week is the end of next week....Its said that from the very start of the announcement...then someone said it would start pushing out the update the week of the 11th...So common sense would tell us the END of the week starting May 11th Correct? Maybe to clarify they should have said "A little bit before the week of the 18th the update will begin to roll out...Trust me..its gonna be this weekend..Tomorrow at the VERY earliest..please dont lose sleep waiting for the update..You will have it before JUNE, that much is for sure..life will go on..

that much is true... i have been patient this long, guess i can wait a little longer...
i remember flashing my WM phones, and the only reason was for the ability to apply my own themes, or to customize the user interface... i love the ability to change around the color scheme, one of the things i enjoyed about those WM OS's... id love to have it here, but i dont want to have to hack my phone to do it... i dont need root access, and dont use a bunch of programs, so apps to SD is no big deal for me... i just want to change the theme...
so far, ahome has kept me subdued... but the other oarts of the OS i still want to mess with (fonts, colors, etc...)
dont know how long i can hold out...

hey i posted in another thread but maybe this one is more relevant.
i am in new zealand where no android phones are officially supported. i was desperate for a g1 so parallel imported. it works freeken great, i think i'm the only person in the country with one (surely hyperbole but haven't encountered another) but now (like you) i'm anticipating cupcake!
can someone please confirm: if my phone has t-mobile branding, does that mean, 100%, that it has been imported from the u.s.? if not, is there a way for me to tell which region it has been imported from?
and if my handset is most certainly from the u.s. - am i right in thinking that i will need to wait for the offfical ota, then wait for someone to post a link and from there do a manual install?
just trying to get a plan sorted :)

Hi ,
I'm not sure if T-Mo is U.S only. I know that its a German company so I'm not sure if yours was imported from the U.S.
You will not receive a OTA since you are not on a T-Mobile network I believe. What you can do is as soon as the official Cupcake OTA comes out flash JF's version and go from there.
Sorry I wasn't able to help.
