So I just noticed my G1 is still 1.0 (got it 3 days ago)
How can I update it to 1.1?
I know 1.5 is going to be out soon.
and also, is it cause I have 1.0 that I cannot buy apps?
all the ones I see are for free.
sorry i did not know where to post this,
bump
please help
I do not want to do manual upgrade
just phone auto update
If you dont want to do it manually you just need to wait.

I know I can root and install custom ROM but I want to stick with the official one since I use my N1 for work.
Now, the problem is I bought my N1 month and a half ago and ever since then I have replaced or swapped 5 N1s mostly due to hardware issues! Finally yesterday I got one more swap and I was so happy that the hardware was perfect! But it seems to have issues holding internet connection and downloading! Though it says "3G" or it is connected to wi-fi, the internet stop working randomly!!
I am oncall for my work and this damn thing didn't get single email last night! Luckily I had no major events!
I hate to send this one back and start the same old game again! I feel maybe if I reload the software, it might get fixed! In the mean time, I have reset my phone to default twice and still the issue seems to persist!
Does anyone else had this issue and were able to fix it? Or can someone post a link to download the official zip so I can reload Froyo!
Any help is much appreciated!
You should be able to find a completely stock froyo in this thread here
Great! Thank you so much! So I just need to download and flash the update.zip on top of my current FRF91, correct?
Yeah, that should do it. Good luck, hope you get your problem fixed.
Yep! That seem to have done it! Last night I had no issues receiving emails! Thanks again!
Hi all
So I upgraded my friend’s G1 to the Cyanogen Froyo that came out in July, but ever since, she’s experienced deleted texts and sometimes hourly reboots.
I’d like to find a more stable version. Sadly the way these forums are laid out means it’s always very hard to find such info unless you’re already ‘in the know’. So… can someone in that know please tell me what the latest, most reliable version is, if not the one I already installed?
Or at least a way to make it stop crashing…

Thanks. Where would I download it and are there N00B instructions to install it over Cyanogen Mod 6.0 RC2 (July)?

The "most" stable in my opinion is: SuperflyTCBY1.1DSF 2.2 Froyo. Starts with a bit over 80MB internal memory.
Been using approx 2 months with very little problem.
NOTE: Any apps you plan on running on homescreen, leave in internal memory. Runs better, loading widgets, etc.
Would anyone be kind enough talking me through how to install it over Cyanogen?
Also how to install an update of Cyanogen over itself?
Hey guys, I don't have an i9000, my sister does. I'm here visiting for the weekend and would like to help her clear up as many issues as possible. Unfortunately time is of an issue, I'm wondering if I can just name the problems, and could anyone please link to solutions/explanations? Many thanks if so.
Here are the issues:
-laggy homescreen (stutters between swiping screens. I've heard there is an app that be installed that fixes this?)
-cannot connect to android market (on 3G, no wifi in the house. Error msg says "cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server. This should be a temporary problem, or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care")
-battery dies in 4-5 hours (maybe a faulty battery, but maybe a software issue?)
-device (and screen) gets hot after some use (could be normal, I have a wp7 that gets hot on the back)
Her version of Android is: 2.1 (although it says "2.1-update1", but does nothing when you try and press it)
She is on Bell in southern Ontario, and is on a standard data plan.
Again, any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
Laggy screens are common on 2.1, there are lag fixes and kernel mods that fix this issue, I can't really give you much more info then that otherwise I'd then be talking out my ass since I'm no expert. You can look about here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
Another way to reduce the lag is by flashing a new ROM custom or stock, I'm on a stock 2.3.3 ROM and there is virtually no lag, which also can help with the poor battery performance. Check out here for stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810682 and here for custom ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
Sorry no idea about the Market problems though, you could try the online market and see if you can push an app to your phone maybe? https://market.android.com/?pli=1, or just look about more on here or the Goog machine
Battery issues, start with all the basics turning stuff off, haptic feedback, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi etc... only enable apps/services when you need them, also as I mentioned a new ROM could also help with poor battery performance.
The 2.1-update1 is a version, you cant update it by pressing the button (when I was new to Android I did the same ) to update follow the instructions in the threads I posted.
Best thing to do is carefully read over everything before you do anything though, you don't wanna end up with a soft brick specially if download and recovery arent working *had to learn that one the hard way*
2.1.1 is a primitive version.....move onto 2.3.3 GB.....regarding Market....go to Settings>Applicatinos>Select market in the list>clear data. Ensure that this phone actually is subscribed to a dataconnection plan with the service provider
Install kies on a computer and see if there is any firmware update available. You will need a certain combination of files if you want to update to gingerbread using odin as your sgs is an american firmware.

Personally i would update through Kies to latest official firmware . Wait until Gingerbread 2.3 is released before going down that road ..
If you get involved in flashing someone else's phone its either going to work or you brick the phone especially for a newbie and in a short timescale .

If you decide to update via Kies, it sounds like a factory reset is in the need either before or after the flash. Preferably a reset before upgrade, and a reset after. Should clean things up a bit.

Thanks very much guys. I've never flashed a rom before, but I'll look into it to possibly do it next time.
In the meantime I've advised her to call bell about the market problem and battery.
Thanks again.

Android OS 2.3 coming to Bell Galaxy Tab, Vibrant, Incredible S, Desire Z and ATRIX this Summer
Great news for those Bell customers who have the following Android devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire Z and the Motorola ATRIX… you all will be getting an upgrade to OS 2.3 Gingerbread this Summer. However, it seems that the Tab will be receive 2.3 today and the Galaxy S Vibrant will receive 2.3 sometime “Early Summer”, while the Incredible S will be graced with it “Mid Summer” and finally the others are pegged for “Late Summer”. Nice work.
(Thanks Tipster!)
Good to know... i wonder if i should restock to froyo then and run kies on my tab to see if i get the update....
I have stock JJ7 and I still get the message that this version of the device cannot be updated when I connect to Kies ver 2.0.1.11053_99 so I would be too quick to restock.
But I see if I follow the Bell link there is a version _99_3 so I'll try installing that. I always worry when I update Kies that it will stop seeing my devices....
Saw the tab still same message

Ahh, thats good to know...
If i hadn't done my upgrading since January, i'd be inclined to try.
There was a thread thats been around since January asking for the stock JJ7 version of the tab... I got it, but haven't tried to use it... If you ever do restock (clean out your tab to original factory settings), any chance you would be able to do a rotobackup?
If not i understand... its a lot to ask.
I remember you from the galaxys forums, our GalaxyS phones died nearly the same time. .. lol..
Thanks CASz!
Would be kickass if you could do a Rotohammer backup of the new Gingerbread too, see what improvements it has over the older releases...
Cheers...
My galaxy S did come back and I'm running stock Froyo on it How do you do a Rotohammer backup? I really like my tab the way it is set up now but saying that is probably the kiss of death or something

issues with video playback after official rom upgrade
I upgraded my bell galaxy tab to the officiHi,al gingerbread rom last week and now I have an issue.
The built in app used to play most of my videos in the player but now after the upgrade no videos seem to play in the app. I have tried third party apps but they seem to choke on videos that played fine before. Does any one have any suggestions or has any one else experienced this after an upgrade to gingerbread? It definitely sucks!

You did? Haven't heard of the official updates yet (plus being on custom i haven't tried yet).
Any chance you could tell us the version of the GB rom from Bell?
Thanks!

Hi,
So as soon as I heard the news that there was a date set for the galaxy tab upgrade with Bell I just kept connecting to Kies.
The info for the rom is:
Firmware version: 2.3.3
baseband version P1000MUGKF6
Kernal version 2.6.35.7
build number GingerbreadUGKF6
Please let me know if you would like to know anything further. As a note I did have issues after the upgrade. First it appear my security software was causing issues and the unit would turn the screen off and not come back. Removing avg and lookout fixed this. Then I had issues with some apps like music but deleting data under manage applications corrected that. Same thing with email app so I had to delete data and re setup. Only real issue now is lost codecs it seems in video player it seems.
Finally there are some new apps like pulse news and sketch memo.

Judging by your posted build number you are still Froyo (2.2.x). Gingerbread is 2.3.x. Unless this was a typo on your part.

I'm guessing its a typo as the build number indicates gingerbread .
Thanks for the info jr97ai...
I'm am curious... is there a phone app on it? How do you find 3g with it?
I'm using overcome jupiter right now and really enjoy the extra capabilities with it.
Thanks.

Thanks again for the info.. appreciate it!
Curious though... have you tried to re-copy the videos back to your tab and see if that helps?

Hi sorry about the typo on the build. In regards to 3g I recently started having service issues but after this upgrade the issues are less frequent. It could be a coincidence as they told me there was a network issue but even right after the upgrade it was better. No phone app unfortunately. I have not tried copying the videos back but before I was able to play these videos without conversion. I am going to try any ways. Thanks for suggestion. I am hoping to hear if anyone else has the same issue.
has anyone installed the new software for GT-I9305
and has anyone had any problems?
my phone is about 2 months ols
international version ( grey import)
Android 4.1.1
reason i ask is my friend and a few ppl we know have upgraded software on I9300 and now their phones are very very slow, like 5 seconds to open messages everytime.
so ive donwloaded the new software (OTA pushed), but i want to make sure its not buggy before i let it install.
bit the bullet and did it
didnt change to 4.1.2
not really sure what the changes are yet
responsiveness seems to be same as before, so thats a relief
