Firmware update

I just got one, but haven't installed...anyone get it and install yet?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

listen whatever you do dont download or install the update yet leave it on the screen asking about the update and contact a dev that can help pull the update then you can GREATLY help the community

Worrrrd. I got the notification right before I left work at tmo. I installed it, however, on one of the demo devices there in the store, and left mine alone for now. In a moment, I'll post some pictures of the differences in software numbers for reference.
Could we use log-cat to find the download link, similar to what was discussed with the fake G2 OTA? and would the update package itself even help?
Edit: Here's the after-image. Haven't made a before one yet.

I got and installed the update as well. My friend at HTC told me it would come tomorrow but I got it as soon as I got home tonight. The update was just to update the device to the production software in light of tomorrows launch. It's pretty much bug fixes, do far I haven't noticed the double url bar in the browser since installing it.

Ah, makes sense. I was noticing a few quirks like that. Also, I remember the slide champions getting a similar update the day before launch. I'm curious if Visionary still works.. anyone care to try?

No kidding! I suppose I didn't keep up with the threads very often when it was first starting. Good to know though, and now the G2 is announced to receive said OTA tomorrow, says tmonews/streamline.

My speaker was fine to begin with! Better than my nexus ones speaker was.

Getting a logcat of this update is very important! It can give devs a clue on what can be done to get rw access in nand. Run a logcat before you install anything. When you have it post it in the dev section for mt4g and g2.

I might be going crazy, but it feels a little laggy after this update.

[APP] Official OTA Swype flashable zip

This is the version of Swype the ships in the 3.70.651.1 OTA that was just released for the EVO. All I have done is picked it out of the OTA and packaged it up in a signed flashable zip. This way you can get Swype on roms that aren't built on the new OTA base yet, or are AOSP based like CyanogenMod.
I am not responsible if this zip harms your EVO in any way. However, I have tested it on my own and it worked fine.
Mods, please remove this thread if it violates any rules. It was my assumption when posting it that it would be allowed as the EVO is now a licensed device for Swype and this is the official version that ships for it. DO NOT USE THIS ON A PHONE THAT IS NOT AN EVO. IT HASN'T BEEN TESTED AND YOUR PHONE MAY NOT BOOT.
Linky: Swype Link Removed
Note: if you had an old version of Swype on your EVO you may get force closes. It just depends on how the old version was installed and whether there are any remnants of it left over. In my case simply uninstalling the beta version was enough for this version to work, however if you have a version from some other source, it may be installed in /system/ and cause problems. And yes, the version you can get from the beta is newer, however this version came WITH the EVO so may have small enhancements for it. That and not everyone has access to the beta, but all EVO's are now licensed to use Swype, so why not use it?

This worked great. Thank you. I like it better than the 2.4 version I had.

It will still get closed. You can't link swype in any way no matter if our device is licensed or not. What's to stop anyone with a different phone to come in here and grab it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

What is the version number of this official Swype? Is it newer than the 2.15.56.14870.t100 beta?

2.7.49.12469

Thanks baby

What's to stop anyone with a different phone from downloading the RUU or a 3.70-based ROM and extracting Swype from it? With those available, there's not much point in taking this down.

Worked for me. Awesome I kinda like the look of it honestly.

i think i will stick with the betas. does anybody know if non-beta versions get updated or are we stuck with this one forever?

this sucks that this new ported version from the evo is giving me force closes I had to go back to my other non beta version which is working perfectly!! Can someone look into this and see whats what??
I'm using the Desire HD rom but I can't see how that would be an issue since I've never had a problem before with any swype apk I've installed!!

I think I kinda like swype. Not all that crazy 8pen stuff.

You are probably getting force closes because of that old version of Swype that was installed. I can't say I have much experience other than with this version and the beta however.

Nothing to see here...

You should be able to extract the rom with unrar either from the market on the evo or on your pc, I do this for psx games and works well on fpse. Would be the same for dreamcast games just got to extract the rom first.

I purchased the app and it FC's when I try to open a ROM or go into the Settings. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. I'm not going to request a refund because I have faith in it.
To the OP, buy the app you cheap bastard. Also, stop typing in CAPS it's annoying.

They released an EVO emulator for dreamcast. Wow.
I love that dreamcast. Never gets old.

They did but it doesn't work for me. I do want to add that I'm using Ultimate Droid's latest ROM. Maybe someone could let me know if it works and what ROM they were using.
I'm dying to play Shenmue and Power Stone and I've been following the development since it was first announced.

Dude. You are not allowed to attach paid versions of apps in this forum. That is lame of you to even ask.

STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. And also, asking someone to download it (i.e. pay for it), then upload it (i.e. PAY FOR IT AND GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE) is completely ****ed up. You must be under the age of 16.

There goes your 8 bucks down the drain, and...
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE JUST HELPED A SCAMMER TO THRIVE. Being gullible is the reason why scammers keep, well, scamming people successfully.
If you had bothered to check his other apps, you'd see this was a scam. I have already contacted Google, hopefully they will act quickly.
For everyone else even thinking about buying this crap:
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEVELOPER. DO NOT BUY THIS EMULATOR. IT'S A SCAM

This thread makes me smile... and it makes me grateful for being intelligent.

*** I didn't bother to look at his other apps because I've never had to do that before. I will look into it now and if I find it is a scam I will contact Google to get my money back. I also will call my CC company to file a claim and investigate the fraud. ***
It's not that serious because it was only $8- $9 but it's the principle. I'll report back what I find. To the people reporting it was a scam you could have came in here earlier and posted that. ***
Ok so I looked at all his other apps and read the comments and he is a SCAMMER. All his apps are paid and I went through the comments and the apps all FC.
The actual developer for NullDCe is Drk||Raziel. I suggest you all flag his apps in the market. This makes me glad that I have an iPad because this sort of stuff never happens (thanks to app screening). I downloaded the app because I saw this thread and only saw one comment saying that it worked. I figured that there was only one comment since it was just released "today".
What irks me the most is that the bastard is probably giggling like a schoolgirl right now while watching his Paypal account increase. I'd hate to think that I'm helping fund someones college tuition cost or beer money.
By the way I'm willing to bet the OP is the developer or knows the developer and was using the warez as a cover for the fraud. The dude has a low post count and came in advertising the app. I'm going to flag this thread so the mods can determine when he created his account and BAN him.
Here's an example of the Android app return policy royally screwing over the consumer. I take full responsibility for getting scammed and if I could I would falcon punch the developer in the cranium.

@Shamoneymurda
Asking for warez is against forum rules. Also, you were asked to stop typing in caps. Please stop. I will not warn you again.
@all,
I am closing this thread because if gqsstatus is right, this will end up being more harmful than not.

This.
I found out it was the mp3 search app that was spamming me by running Airpush Detector. 'Airpush' allows the app to send you ads even when the app isn't running. If you have the Android market Mp3 app uninstall it and go to the Amazon market and they have an Mp3 search app without the Airpush spam.

Some good, some bad.
1) Does anyone else think its design looks Win8 Metro inspired?
2) More stuff, including free music I would have otherwise missed. That's nice.
3) No more app-by-app auto-update choices. Meh.
4) Still no "default install location" in ICS/JB back. Meh.
In general... it's the choice we're required to have, so I'll live with it.

sent from within pure darkness

Update on #3. It does still have app-by-app auto-update... they just hid it. It's now in the menu (hit the menu button) rather than showing when you're just looking at the normal app page. So it takes opening up the app description, waiting for that to load, hitting the menu button, waiting for that to load, and then hitting the back button twice to get back to the app list now. Whereas before it was just open the app description and whether or not the description loaded, you could see the update status and just back out immediately. Way to simplify things, guys.
