T-Mobile G1 updates skips RC28 to RC29?

[T-Mobile G1]

There are a few out there still waiting for T-Mobile’s RC28 update to hit their Google Android G1, but one lucky reader has beaten all else. A G1-er known as KoSoVaR is sitting quite pretty when they received their over the air update.

Apparently, when KoSoVaR rebooted his T-Mobile G1 actually stabilised at RC29. At this moment it is hard to say what this new RC29 has that’s new, but if we happen to hear anything about bug fixes and the like we’ll let you know.





Oh, also apparently another G1-er has got the RC29 which took five minutes from start to end and rebooted just once, while other sit waiting and waiting.

They skipped RC28 because Google identified a security hole in it. So they pulled the update and will be sending out RC29 instead. I believe the only difference is that the security issue is fixed.

Ohmarni,

[ziggyaz]

rayosx ... you should be getting the update shortly after the 1st of Nov.  they are sending the ota out to the 1st pre-order sets by Nov 1 and the rest by I believe it is supposed to be Nov 10.  That was the info I got from the admin of the t-mo forum site.
Hope this helps  :-)

Joppykid,
I don't have any idea man, but I have not had any chance to make test I will give a try later and I will give you an update about this.

[ziggyaz]

Everyone is supposed to get the ota by 11/15.  thatis acording to the t-mobile forums admins.

The only glitch I have is trying to save a pic that someone sends to me. I don't get the downla/save option.

Joppykid,
I see, I have a quesiton for you,  can you  send to yourself a PDF and a MS Doc flle in atachment to your gmail and let me know if you can open it now?  I've read that you can, but it's not 100% confirmed.
