Android 1.6 going OTA to G1 and myTouch 3G

i just got my 1.6 update and the YouTube app and Amazon MP3 app no longer work. I click on them and i get a pop up that says that "Application is not installed on your phone". anyone else seeing this?

in case you haven't figured it out yet...

the applications have changed. if you used to have it on your home screen, that link to the application no longer works. just go to your main container and you will see the new applications. just replace the old ones.

1 comment so far,

Google mapping is worse. Location history for directions is gone now. You used to be able to choose History, and then a menu with all your previous locations that you may have used as a start or finish location were there. That appears to be gone now, making, IMHO, the Mapping function much less useful.

Got mine yesterday. Have not had a chance to check alot of it out. But so far the market place is great and the Google search with voice is awesome. I love the fact that you can use it for calling contacts and also it seems to me to be very accurate.

Has anyone else noticed a bug where new apps don't download/install ? I uploaded an update to my app and it doesn't download/install to my 1.6 updated firmware for some reason.

I got 1.6 today (10/05/09) and so far things look good. The Market sure looks better. The email app now correctly lists the number of msgs to be read (used to just count up and up and up). The search box on the home screen has changed slightly. Still looking for other changes. Now if they would do something about the voice dial sensitivity and calendar sync prefs. Being able to search the app store online would be nice too!

Like the look of the market and YouTube but have had problems with browser. I hit the home button to do something else briefly then returned to browser to resume what I was doing previously and it returned to my default homepage and it also crashed completely on me once. Phone search seems pointless to me.

When my phone began automatically upgrading, I was excited in anticipating what new features and looks the newer version had to offer. As soon as it was done I was severely disappointed. It conflicted with my aHome desktop app causing it to continuously force close and do absolutely nothing more. I had to call T-Mobile from another phone so they could walk me through a hard reset. After losing quite a few important memos linked to the apps I lost from the reset, I had to begin work. I view YouTube Videos for a living. I was quickly disappointed again because my YouTube app (the new one) plays nothing but audio for about 30 seconds and then force closes. So now I have to sit at home in front of my desktop to work as compared to not touching my computer at all because I used to do my work fun and leisure all from my phone anywhere and anytime. I wish I could no longer recieve "updates" if it's going to downgrade my phone. If you look at the Android Market from the phone and read the comments posted after Oct 4th you will see hundreds of thousands of people just as frustrated with all the app conflicts as myself. In my opinion all the phone needed was a flashplayer for web browsing and I would love my G1 even more. Now I hate my brick. The new bells and whistles have wrecked my phone and rendered it useless to me. Now if I want an upgrade....I'm gonna go get an iPhone.

Initially, there are some good features, like the global search and voice-activated search (too much fun!). However, the new 1.6 is incompatible with the fine Roadsync program to synchronize with Microsoft Exchange Server, causing a T-Mobile tech to have to walk me through a complete data wipe. I would not be surprised to see other incompatibilities.
