So i got my update last night. Im sort of quite impressed with it! The way that the screens wipe when you open a app. The vibrate on the lock pattern is handy. The touch keyboard is nice. The videocamera is good as well!


My main issues are that there is no latitude, as ive said before no google voice search???? Also why doesnt the predictive text work with the main keyboard?

What does everyone else think about it??

Not had a proper play yet but I can't get the screen to auto-flip when I turn the device.

Go to settings. Then to sound and display. Towards the bottom is a check box for orientation and animation. Tick both of them and bobs your mothers brother!

Done that already, still not working though.

Just checked with the Bubble app and it appears the accelerometer is either stuck or broken!

Updated. Lots of good new things. Kind of slightly disappointed: expected that soft keyboard arises automatically when you open contacts in a phone (in vertical position, in folded position). It doesn't. Instead you have to: (i)press contacts, (ii)press menu button, (iii)select search, (iv)touch text panel and only then softkey arises.

yep, what do we have to do to get this? shesh!

After all that waiting and the only thing i was really interested in was Latitude and just updated and now see it's not included.

Pretty sure i've seen US G1's with it so not sure why we're missing it again.

both myself and sstmax have had the joys of latitude on our handsets. All be it 24hours for me and longer for sstmax!!

The google voice is a big issue for me as to why we havent got it. U.s g1s and worldwide iphones have it? So why why why why why not us!!!

The other thing thats made me scratch my head. Is the zoom buttons on maps and web pages are the other way round now!!!! Zoom in is now on the right????? Really not sure why they have done that!!!

Hi
I suggest all you guys not too happy with Cupcake go across to xda-developers and download one of their Cupcake mods.
I've just installed mine and have Latitude, Multi-Touch, Voice dialer, Voice Search.
I seem to remember reading of a method of turning on Latitude on there some where.
Make sure you have a good look around before plunging in. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination and this is the second time I have used one of their mods.

I really like it, the camera is now usable, camcorder is pretty sweet (loving the fact you can upload straight to YouTube), love the new graphics and the animations, and the soft keyboard is actually pretty damn awesome.

A huge update and a lot of fantastic improvements. All for the princely sum of zero pounds!

Anyone else getting random application crash messages? Every time I boot my phone, DarkKeys tends to crash a few times. I guess this is due to some incompatibility with 1.5.

However, I regularly get crash messages for my Messaging (SMS) application.

I don't have any SMS-related market apps installed either.

Maybe time for a factory reset??
