The "OMG I just ['got updated' OR 'updated'] to Cupcake" Thread...

Status
Not open for further replies.
I rooted my phone more out of impatience than anything else. There is much I like about cupcake. I'm using JF's ADP1.5 build. I may try some of the others... If I understand it correctly JF may be producing a regular 'end user' type ROM soon...

But... No Amazon downloader (not end of world), not Latitude in Maps... it just seems annoying.

BUT whatever they did to clean up the GPS code really seems to work! Telenav would typically take a few minutes to get a fix in the morning/first use of day. Now it gets a fix quickly. Handstand was reporting accuracy to 6 meters while I was driving at about 30 MPH.

I came for the Cupcake... but I might hang onto my rootness for the apps on SD card. IF I get motivated enough to actually do it...
 
What link? I'm in the US and that link was for UK.

To tell you the truth, this is how t-mo is going to lose its customers, horrible service, super small 3g, inconsistency with expansion plans, and the OTA are just plain random!!!

With everyday that passes with no cupcake, urges me to switch to At&T or verizon.

Unfortunately, the OTA updates (or lack thereof) are all on the Google side, Tmo has no control over that. However, I do agree with you about the lack of coverage. I am moving to the FL area in a few months, and Tmo has almost no coverage out there. I plan on switching to ATT, but keeping my G1! I may not stay a Tmo customer, but I'll be an Android user till the day I die.

Side note: I got tired of waiting and rooted my G1 and applied JF's 1.5 ADP build. Freaking loving it!!
 
Been a while since I have been here, life gets in the way of forums sometimes. I got my cupcake this morning, I'm loving it except the UK still hasn't got voice control for searching and dialling :(
 
i have the JF1.5 build of cupcake and that has voice search and it understands me perfectly, i'm from u.k. Don't know why it shouldn't work.

An example of how well it searches i said "recipies for chocolate fudge brownies" yesterdays and it came bake straight away correct.

trust me. . .i'd much rather have my OTA Cupcake than voice seach here in the US. . .

hours until I give in and root: 64. . .
 
Got my OTA update in the UK last night. Its made the phone even better to use... the things that slowed the experience down like when taking and browsing pictures have gone and it works a dream.
The software keyboard is great, now I can write a text one handed on the train.

But annoyingly still no latitude on maps :-(
 
I havent read the thread as there seems to be a lot of ranting. Im a UK user, non rooted and got an update this morning giving me a camcorder, new logos, new start up screen, changes to my browser, text messages and google talk and the phones general theme... not sure what else yet x
 
Oh wow...looks like I'm gonna be one of the last people to get the update again...just like it was with RC9...lol...

I'd love to know what the deployment schedule looks like....

LOL...what are the chances???

(justjimjpc....I beat you again!! =P )

Lol =P

On a side note...

First impressions are: I'm very impressed...

Polished UI with much nicer icons for apps..
Fantastic features.
Camcorder (Video Recorder) works like a dream. Although I'm not sure if it was because I wasn't talking loud enough but the volume on the videos I made didn't seem very loud...
Google Talk replaces my IM button..
Virtual keyboard is great (I'm actually better than I thought I would be at using the keyboard...I thought I'd suck and make loads of mistakes...)
Orientation seems to be a bit odd...it coudl just be me though...

More to come....when I get a chance to look at it some more...
