Firmware Update and Android Market

Postby BillK » February 2nd, 2011, 5:11 pm

Hi All,

Since I seem to be lucky and have firmware 1.01 which some allows the Android Market to work nicely, is there any real advanatage in doing the latest firmware update? I might have misread a post somewhere but I was fairly sure that somebody had said that upgrading to 1.02 had wiped out a previously working market.

Sorry if I've got this wrong but all advice appreciated.

Hi, it looks like you have missed a lot of posts, market on fw 1.01 will stop downloading after a few hrs/days

Yes you are right 1.02 has no market at all.

Im on 1.02 and my market has been working fine (via the android pit app) for over a week. Not sure about paid apps though (im a scrooge!)

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

Thanks Fonefixer and Charlie. I'll install 1.02 with some confidence then.

Best, Bill

Mine came with 1.02s installed (only picked it up today) it had no market shortcut but used an app called "anycut" and created one and it works fine :)
