after the update,
the battery life so far so good. after one day of usage without wifi, i still have full battery icon.
i oso noticed lots or market apps does not support cupcake, end up with a lot of errors.

Hey guys, I just got 1.5 update via over-the-air update. The update was swift, very suspicious. Anyhoo, witnessed by grazy, my phone is now 1.5 & have those on screen keyboard.

However, the signal strength got worse or virtually no signal at all. Before updating, the signal still can be received at certain places. But no, as if all digi towers in klang valley have been bulldozed, i can't get any signal at all. A little consolation is that i still can receive wifi signal for good.

Any idea how to solve this problem? I already upgraded to 128K sim card though. I'm thinking of manually updating the OTA cupcake again.

the video playback...the video will hang most of the time when trying to play the video recorded earlier..=.=

Try installing n play the video with meridian video player or other video player from market

htc dream n google g1 is the same rite?
is the htc dream available for sale in malaysia?
if so what is the current market price?

thanks.

basically is same but only the region firmware not same only...

Hmm... seems like it took about 2-3 minutes to download the 37+mb Cupcake. Pretty fast eh.
If not mistaken, Schroddy_Cat also got the update and download less than 5 minutes over WIFI. But his problem is no signal with the cupcake even after a factory reset.

It looks like the update package is corrupted during downloading (suspecting only)....Guys make sure you got strong signal (wifi/3g) before performing the OTA update.

OK guys, I really need everyone's help here.

I don't know what happen to the phone at the beginning of May. The signal strength got so deteriorated until my phone couldn't receive any signal indoor. It still could catch digi signal outdoor. If traced back few pages back, i posted the same problem. I thought it was Digi's problem but it couldn't be so bad until the problem lasted for almost a month.

Until 2 days ago, when i was wifing in PJ, an OTA update suddenly pop up. Out of curiousity, i chose Yes & it updated itself. It "completed" like in 5 minutes. Strange. But my phone version was updated to 1.5. Got onboard keyboard.

Worse nightmare came. NO SIGNAL AT ALL. The phone still could detect wifi but it just cant receive any GSM signal! What good is a smart phone if it can't receive signal??? I bought a Maxis simpack & tried out, result was the same. Error in detecting network. Great, I have a new maxis number for nothing!

I'm getting so frustrated & feel like selling this crap off. But who would buy it if it can't call nor message? I remember last month the phone working great but it just suddenly got nuts. I swear it never fell on floor before. So it couldn't be mechanical problem. Also, it still can detect wifi, so why not GSM?

i tot is 46+mb?
u mention got latest version of cupcake?

i am thinking of that too cause when updating the cupcake in my opis and my opis has a bad reception most of the time... somehow could we reinstall the cupcake??

Ok guys, for those who are having problem with their OTA Cupcake, and would like to update it manually again, you may try these steps:

1) Download the OTA file from here (should be the first one)
2) Make sure u download it correctly, double check the size of the file.
3) Then follow the steps on this page (those images are for RC33, but should be similar for CRB43)

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility on the outcome from these steps, but if you already frustrated with your droid why not teach him a lesson
Do whatever backup you can/want before proceed ya!!.....and sufficient battery juices!!

----------------------

PS: this is for non-rooted droid with original T-Mobile OTA RC33 or lower.

first of all thx for the info....btw how could we need to downgrade to RC33 or lower since ours 1 might have corrupted cupcake?? do we nid to do so?

It should be alright to update it again without downgrade to RC33 since you already have the corrupted CRB33.

mine is CRB43 wor

Sorry...CRB43!!

after update the cupcake (non corrupted) i feel that the responsive was good and also the interface looks cooler. Initially the reception was goos but then after went into lift (cause no signal) cant gain back the signal even manually search. got to reboot it...TWICE!!

any1 have the same prob??

can somebody help me?
i'm willing to pay to whoever can get root access for my g1.
It's a continental version (comes from Australia if i'm not mistaken) -STG RC8-
I've tried downgrading it and followed every instruction on the web to no avail.
So if somebody is willing to help, please tell me, i really want to get root access.
Thanks!
