Android Cupcake
Thank you for visiting and supporting Android Cupcake. Way before Android referred to a cell phone operating system, we developed websites around Androids – thinking in terms of robots that look like humans. AndroidSales.com, AndroidRentals.com, AndroidLeasing.com, AndroidService.com, etc… Who would have thought that cellphones would be named Android?
In the middle of May, 2009 Google released version 1.5 (Cupcake) of the Android Operating System. This update included many new features including video recording, support for stereo bluetooth profile, a customizable onscreen keyboard system and voice recognition. This release also opened up the AppWidget framework to third party developers allowing anyone to create their own home screen widgets. For those wanting background information on the Cupcake update, please use AndroidCupcake.net as a resource.
NOTE: In September 2009 the “Donut” version (1.6) was released which featured better search, battery usage indicator and VPN control applet.

Will android 1.5 aka cupcake fix these 2 memory problems?
folks it’s a little lengthy but bare with me. ok here we go…
besides the fact that we can’t save our apps to the memory card there seems to be something else that is eating up tons of my memory. 1st i read an article/blog about how this guy did a test/experiment with the market. he concluded that just going in the market and looking at apps will use your memory even if you don’t download the app. so i too did the same thing. when my phone’s accelerometer stopped working and the low memory icon was in my status bar permanently i did a reset. at the time i had a few kb. after the reset i went in and downloaded all of my apps again. but instead of going to each app and downloading it, i went to the “my apps” section and downloaded them all from there. at the end of that i had about 27 mb left. by the end of the week i was back down to 7 mb and the low memory icon was coming and going. now it’s back stuck there. then i noticed this…
none of my apps were working at all. they all kept force closing. so i looked at my memory and it was at 0. i shut my phone off and did a reboot (hold power+home for 20 secs then hit home+back). when i looked at my memory it went up to 4 mb. 4 MB!!!!! that is crazy! since this happened i have repeated this same thing at least 4x in the past week. so basically the phone is using up 4 mb of memory for SOMETHING and i have no idea what it is. when i turn my phone off and on it frees it up and i can then use my phone without interruption, except i have no accelerometer!!!!
does anyone know if cupcake will fix this HORRIBLE issue? i can call it a lot worse things but i’ll keep it clean for the kiddies.
