When I heard that Vodafone was rolling out the Donut update to the UK, NZ, NL and Germany I changed my default Home from Open Home back to the default. I know from long experience that system updates are designed for and intended for the system as written. They can’t – and can’t be expected too – handle all deviations, mods and customisations.

My update happened 3 days later. When it was complete, I tested Open Home as an app for most of a day. When I was satisfied it was stable, I set it as the default.

If you’re running 3rd-party apps for things like the user interface….and you KNOW an update is coming….you really should turn them off until after the system has updated.

So I unrooted, back on 1.0 since last night and haven’t gotten the update.
I also can’t hit settings>about phone>update because that feature is 1.5

@Brittany were you running Open Home before? Or FreshFace? Those aren’t working especially well with 1.5. Try uninstalling and rebooting and see if it persists. Good luck!

I’m loving Donut. I don’t want to make it sound like a cure-all. Still room for improvement, especially in Messaging. But my phone is smoother and faster and the battery is lasting twice as long. The new Market is pretty sweet and the camera is awesome! I was about ready to utilize the warrenty and get my phone replaced, thinking I got a dud. This OS makes me think it was just suffering software crap. Hoorah!

I’m having the same issue as Riki. Everytime I go back to the home screen (since the update) it errors (“The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.”) and forces close, and the home screen loads on the first or second force close. Sometimes it has this error when opening and closing the keyboard or flipping orientation. I’ve turned it off and on and all that jazz. What could be the problem? ):

Day 2 with donut. Great update! Heavily advertised features (voice, market, search) are great but the huge but subtle improvements to maps, youtube, camera rock. Map point directions street view, location based rerouting. Maybe its just my imagination but my gps seems like it finds a signal more often.

1.6 works on my mytouch 3g just fine. No problems. Seems a little speedier too.

I got donut on my g1 a few days ago and since then I have not been able to play videos that were not either filmed on the phone itself or from the internet for the most part. Anyone else having this issue?
