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?

I have also noticed a jump in my Quadrant Scores! getting over 1900!!

Its amazing HTC already has a software update out when it took Samsung 3+ months.

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.

If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.

That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.

It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there

This looks pretty sweet...

I will buy one when They are out. Since i dont use gps that much just calls games apps email and work this case and battery extender would really come in handy.

Couldn't agree more! If GPS is needed like mentioned above you can take off the case without it killing the phone! Can't wait for this to come out!

I havent been able to get more info on this case i know its not out yet and i did sign up to get and email when it comes out, and also for doing that i will get a discount on it. Dont know how much but anything is better than nothing.

Maybe it'll come out this month. They said they're releasing new products every month.

I'd love to have something like this to help my phone last throughout the day.

I emailed Power Skin and this is the response I got:
The HTC Inspire 4G is scheduled to be released in early June. Be sure to complete our mailing list so that you will be one of the first notified. Thank you for your interest in PowerSkin.
Charge On!

Hm, according to the website they will "personally email you with a nice discount code when a case becomes available (if it is not currently)". Thats worth getting their spam for a month!

I want it. Right now. Please.

I can not wait this should really help with battery life.

I imagine you meant "sells" instead of "sales"....
That's a very subjective question. One persons gem is another persons POS.
If you look at it in terms of hardware specs, price etc...the Sensation, G2X, Galaxy 4G...
Again though...that's if you like touchscreen devices with Android.

I remember the first time I saw a guy with a star tac. I stopped him and asked to see it. Then I asked him how much it cost. I remember my jaw dropping when he said $1000. Can you believe that phone was over $1000 when it FIRST came out?? The first carrier to have it was bell Atlantic (now verizon)
I was 20 then, so that was almost 16 years ago

$1000? he got a deal then.
I paid $1500 for the Microtac elite... and that was WITH contract.
(elite was the top of the line model that came out literally 3 months before the startec. it had the capability of answering machine. a whole 30 seconds... state of the art in it's day. lol!)

So he went away for a couple of minutes, came back and even gave me price for custom battery covers, it was 75 USD in Norway, maybe cheaper in other country's

I love that cover. However wouldn't that process be faster if you use a metal paint remover?

Is there a reason why you selected a different route?

It would be easily painted tbh, it would need sanding down then painting with a primer/undercoat then a topcoat of your choosing (Depending on the paint you may need to add a top coat of lacquer)

Quietly Brilliant right? Sorry, just couldn't resist it.
This guy has beat HTC at their own design.

The problem with the pain removers is that it would also remove it from the "htc" which then takes away from the appeal imo.
if you look at the pictures theyre still black against chrome

maybe you guys are looking at this thing too much and now his site is down because

You should for the One X, since you're going to at&t. A better phone, and will last longer in this dev community I think

the Sammy gs3 is pretty darn good. Too bad its made of plastic and has pentile (but I read that with its screen size and stuff, pentile is hardly noticeable). Touchwiz is far more better than the sgsII's one. It would be a waste going for the sgsII when the sgs3 is around the corner (June for America, Samsung said)
