Digging an old question that comes alive with the release of 1.6: what about OS updates? I have an HTC Magic from a carrier. Can i update to 1.6? How? Through the carrier?

There are many areas where very small decisions of questionable wisdom in default applications really hamper the user experience (even in the using it just to make calls sense), but these can't be very readily changed on a retailphone, particularly the parts most closely involved in the telephone functionality. As of this moment, I believe most of the retail phones are probably still shipping with an easily rooted linux kernel, but that probably will get closed up (already fixed in google's tree) and they will be limited until another hole is found. -- Regards, Michael Leung http://www.itblogs.info http://www.michaelleung.info -- Cumprimentos, Hugo Rafael Augusto --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

They always handle that through whoever distributed the device (e.g., T-Mobile for the T-Mobile myTouch3G version of the Magic). So, if you got your device from your carrier, I would expect the carrier will say when and how to upgrade it, assuming they support such an upgrade. This is one of the many, many reasons why I hope Android spawns a robust market for devices not tied to a carrier, where you get the device from a device manufacturer and use it with a mobile carrier. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Need Android talent?

Use android.utils.Log for all your logging needs, which will be available in logcat. Actually, System.out and System.err should get redirected to the log file. See frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ RuntimeInit.java, zygoteInit(), where it does: System.setOut(new AndroidPrintStream(Log.INFO, System.out)); System.setErr(new AndroidPrintStream(Log.WARN, System.err)); The stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors are redirected to /dev/null during app framework startup, so a printf() from native code won't do anything.
