Asian version- any issues?

Hi guys,
Received my Sensation a few days ago, purchased in the UK where I live. It seems to be an Asian version as the Language selection came up with English (Singapore). I have various options for Thai keyboard, Vietnamese IME etc....
No current issues with the phone and works fine with English (Singapore) language selected.
Question I have is will this effect any OTA updates and am I likely to come across issues or miss out on certain features etc... Being in the UK will the next OTA update be the full UK version or will I have to root the phone to get the official UK rom on it. Would there be any advantages to this....? Will I still receive updates here even though it is an Asian version. In essence what are the advantages/disadvantages if any as I can still return the phone for a refund and get hold of a UK/European version?
Thanks!

Where did you get it from? You'll have to wait on updates for that version but other than that it should be OK

From purelygadgets. So would I be better off returning it and getting the official UK/EU version? Do updates normally come out the same time world wide and how do they differ across the regions?

*OTA Update of the device based on CID >>> OTA update your version of HTC's Asia
*Because of this, that when we have Ship S-off (Super CID), you can not update via OTA anymore

Thanks, so hoping that there will be a OTA or manual S-off update I can then download and flash the UK rom? Do I have this right?

All we are hoping and waiting for this. Then we can do much more than ROM upgrade

Sorry for my ignorance, does this mean that the OTA update would be based on my carrier and so I would receive the UK update even though I have the Asian Rom on it now?

CID its security code of the original version rom, it protection device for no other rom upgrade patches. So the original version of your device its Asia >>> only upgrades OTA Asia version even if you are in any country and any carrier

Vietnamese language
Hi ancola,
I've just recently updated my phone to Official ICS 4.03 on Vodafone network in Australia. The only language option I can see now is English. Any idea how to install Vietnamese on the phone?
Thanks,

He is looking for the international version of the fxz for the ME865, not the Chineese, or US AT&T version.... he flashed our ROM and now his SIM is AT&T locked....

First question, do you have the MB865(American version) or ME865(Chinese version)?
NVM reread it and seen Jim's post

do we even have an international fxz? if we do does it work on our phone?

Originally the phone i took it with the ME865 Asian version probably because Chinese was not the main language when i start the phone.
after i mess up with the phone and i was not able to restart it
i download the USA version from AT&T but as i said the software is locked only with AT&T sim card so i cant use 3g network since my provider is from Middle East (Dubai)
i found later on and i download the Chinese version ME860 but main language is Chinese so after starting up the phone even if i choose English some part of the phone and some notifications remain in Chinese language.
what am looking is the Asia version ME865 or the official Rom comes from Motorola its self and not from any specific provider
sorry for the confusion but with my S2 i didn't had this problem that the only reason i regret buying Motorola

Your first issue was flashing a ROM that does not support all the hardware. Now I can link you to the ME865 fxz, but it is the Chinese version, and it is not a "Motorola" blank slate, it is from a carrier, ALL ROMS that are stock come from a carrier, that is how it works.
Here is the true ME865 fxz, but that is the Chinese version, and you HAVE to flash that first, since that is the hardware you have, you might have to download some languages to from the market to get it all to work in your native language though:

For good and for Bad luck i already have both version
i really appreciate your support i
new that the XDA guys are nice but i never expect so much
i will stick at the moment with the AT&T version till later on (i really hope) to get the availability with more stock Roms.
the thing is that the Chinese version you send me is the same as the one i have already and based on what i read on the net is only for china but the one was on my phone was the official Motorola unlocked software which as i see at the moment is not yet available for download
thanking you one thousand times for the support and hope in the near future to get what i am looking desperate for.

[Q] Getting an unbranded European ICS update

Dear all,
I live in Israel and about two months ago I bought the Sensation.
After waiting for so long and not receiving the update I have taken interest in the way the FOTA works. I've seen that some folks here wrote that the ICS update depends on the CID. This led me to investigate further into my phone (which I haven't done previously).
Turns out the Sensation I bought from a private shop here in Israel has the Indian unbranded CID (HTC_038).
Software number is 1.52.720.3
Since I dont really need an Indian ICS update, what I wanted to ask is:
Suppose I change my CID to the European unbranded, will I then be able to get a European ICS update? Will my phone work well after such procedure?

Well, I tried changing the cid using adb commands and it didn't work, guess getting the update depends not only on the CID but also on the software number

I'm still awaiting the ICS update on my UK sim free XE, most others already have the update. It's possible that the device serial number could be a factor in getting the update too.

[Q] My HOS got an FW update today 2012-05-08 (1.78.401.2)

Anyone else got the 1.78.401.2 FW update?
I have no clue of what it entails...

I also updated!
Installing ...

1.78.401.2 just came out today yet people are already requesting ROM's based on 1.78.401.2....

Also got the update (after manually checking for it) and installing as we speak.
Hope its fixing at least some of the numerous bugs (wireless, wifi, 3G issue, etc) that everybody has with (unbranded) HOS.
G.

I also haven't got any notification but based on this thread tried and am downloading right now - it's 59MB.
Will update the status since I'm among the network issues suffering customers...

Does it include a new baseband (radio)?

Nothing in the UK yet
I'm guessing you guys are all US HOS owners, no update in the UK yet. Are there any release notes?

I checked manually for updates and it worked.
HTC says only "system enhancements"
we will see...
@rboekee
i have the EU - version, unbranded that's the important thing...

Update is not working for those having a custom recovery installed...
After flashing the Stock Recovery with this wonderful One klick tool the Update is working just fine...

I had my Bootloader unlocked via HTCdev... Seems like an unlocked Bootloader has got nothing to do with this issue!
To keep your Phone rooted after the update, use OTA Rootkeeper from the Playstore!

there is a new base band: 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.315.01S.10L
BTW, It now includes also Hebrew T9 in the phone!!! (only if you change your phone language to Hebrew fully)

Just got mine at the weekend, have tried checking for an update there and theres nothing happening at the mo.
3 UK, sim locked, no root, no customer recovery.

I forgot to mention, I'm with a EU phone.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but can I flash the radio if I am dev-unlocked?

Seems like it's not available in the US yet? I tried checking in and then check for update but nothing. Asked the woman to do the same and no update for her either. I'm in Boston btw.
For those with the update in the US how is the signal? Is it jumping up and down still? I'm getting tired of this and tried everything so I'm hoping it's the radio firmware and not the hardware itself.
Sent from the One.

The update is only available for unbranded EU phones.
Edit:
It looks like Vodafone Germany has also released the update.

If you didn't know the HTC way of numbering their FW then I can tell you that the *.401.* designates the EU version (possibly the WW version too)...
And yes... I live in Sweden and my HOS is unbranded...

Yep just unbranded only..
Sent from the One.

Mine also an unbranded one.
As for the update itself, it seems that the radio issues are not yet solved.
3g/H issues are still here.
I did notice that on a certain place which has no reception, with the old radio I was still with reception signal though no actual reception was present, while with the new radio the reception really drops to no signal status.
Yet, as I mentioned, there data switches which are interfering to the data transfer are still here... :-(
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA

I can confirm as well that data issue still here H/3G still interrupting a contstand data stream.
Also can confirm that the signal is lower compared the previous update.
My HOS is EU unbranded.
I cannot see any Hebrew language added after the installation.
