T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G Android smartphone users are getting the OTA Over-The-Air update, Android OS 1.6 also known as "Donut."
The update will be coming to T-Mobile customers in the coming days, announced a T-Mobile spokesman. When you get it depends on how and where they push it out. They usually push out updates on weekends to not affect business customers.
The Android 1.6 update offers new features, improvements and fixes a glitch that rebooted phones after dialing 911.
New features in Donut are integrated universal search, and automatic device
backups.
They have enhanced the Voice Search, with faster response and ability to dial contacts. There is also a battery usage indicator showing which apps use the most power.
The new Quick Search Box searches across various apps, the software
constantly learns which search results are more relevant based on what
is clicked. Therefore, popular contacts or apps that have previously
been picked will move up to the top when a user types the first few
letters of a relevant query.
The camera enhancements include faster loading, ability to switch between photo/video modes. The Android Marketplace is now easier to browse. For people with disabilities, Android users will be able to download new accessibility services built on the new accessibility framework and enable them in settings.
Here's how the update works. Your T-Mobile G1 or myTouch 3G will notify you and ask if you
would like to download and install the update. Then you accept the
download.
This update for T-Mobile customers is sent over-the-air and not available to manually install. T-Mobile does not encourage customers to manually download and install updates.
Here's a developers video that shows the new features of Android 1.6.
