HTC sync suite update question - HTC Sensation

Htc sync suite says there is an update for it. so i download the update and try to install it and it says that the one i have is newer than the update and that I have to delete my current one in order to install this one. Basically this doesn't make any sense. Why would the program say there is an update for it when this "update" is an older version.
Should I delete my current and install the older one? ???
Mine is HTC sync 3.0 according to the ABOUT tab in HTC sync. It may have come from my Sensation 4g. But every time I turn on my computer it says there is an update, but it is an older version than the one installed..
anyone else getting this? and should i uninstall mine and install the "update" (the update is same as the one on the HTC website).

anyone? some insight please?

if you want to set up your htc sync settings again its not necessarily going to hurt if you uninstall and update (if it really is an update as your allude too).... its not going to destroy your computer in anyway or your phone... and if you do a full uninstall and install the update (again if it is an update) it may rectify your issue of it saying there are updates when there isnt really an update

[Q] HTC Sync 3.0.5.372 with AT&T Inspire

Hi.
I want to use this version of Sync so i can sideload apps without having to root the phone. However, the 3.0.5 version does not include the drivers needed for the Sync app to see the Inspire. I installed the latest version and it can now see it. Has anyone tried installing 3.0.5.372 over the latest release in order to get the sideload app option?
Thanks.
extract the drivers from the newer version and load them on the old version. see if it works.
You could just use Sideload wonder machine and use the newest version of Htc Sync.
SWEET! Worked like a charm.
Do you have any recommendations on solid sideload apps I should have? Do any overcome AT&T locking me out of tethering? I'm trying to avoid rooting the phone, but want to get as many of the advantages or a rooted phone as I can.
For instance, any way to remove the bloatware without rooting?
Thanks again!

[Q] any solution for Mango stuck app updates?

I had posted a while pack about a couple if apps getting stuck during an update installation and throwing up an error code of 8103010d. These apps keep showing up as either an available update or as a pending download and do not allow you to either uninstall or reinstall.
I know there were a few others experiencing this. Has anyone found a solution? At very least I'd like to uninstall the apps and try them again after the full release of Mango is out. I was hoping the latest beta of Mango would take care of it but the problem is still there.

yes but it will not run the setup when you upgrade to mango
It is not working in mango anymore..... Just side loaded it when you click it it goes black then closes..... I think mango blacklisted it?????
It was there a few days ago when I first upgraded to Mango. It installed but would not run (said carrier not found). Hopefully they pulled it until they get it upgraded and it comes back.
i canĀ“t find Compass too..
Did you look in the system settings, thats where I found it

HTC Surround originally on Telus, used Connection Setup to reconfigure for Rogers. Updated to Mango, now I've lost 3G. With no access to Connection Setup, I can't re-enable data. Any ideas?

Go back to your backup made right before the update, then uninstall Connection Setup before you update. If it is installed it tries to run when the update finishes and you lose 3G. This is probably the main reason it has been pulled as it does not work on final Mango.
Could not restore to backup because I replaced the 16 GB SD card with an 8GB! I flashed stock Telus Rom with Nodo, and then flashed DFT 7720 Rom. Phone now works great (my wife is currently enjoying Angry Birds on it!)

Yea, if you updated to the newest version, it gives that error.
If you ran the older version (non updated), it will run your provxmls BUT, on verizon you would lose 3G service totaly, Hard reset or reflash rom would be the only fix (tried a lot of stuff).
It needs to be upgraded for mango but, the good old days of doing reg edits I think is over for HTC devices with this.

At this point I am going to wait and see if they release an updated version and then hope my provxml file is still sitting there. I had uninstalled it before upgrading so it did not try to run and I have 3G, then went to the HTC Hub and downloaded what was there which failed to run (and has since been pulled).
AFAIK the provxml file should still be sitting there waiting to get "provisioned"

Hi derausgewanderte,
Yes this is the correct packages although would "HTC connection setup" still work after it has been sideloaded if i upgrade to mango and the device relocks?
I think ill have to wait it out untill it becomes available in marketplace again or another way is found to unlock mango.

Settings update

After installing ICS last week i am now seeing another update entitled "settings Update" which is about 15mb in size. Anyone know what it is/does. Also it downloads ok but fails to install. Anyone managed to install ok? Thanks in advance.
It doesn't install on my sim free Sensation XE either (still waiting for ICS!).
Posted about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24674922&postcount=306
I've just received OTA update named as Settings application update.. (problem I have different language and translation was wrong). I have had 1st wave OTA 4.0.3 update installed on stock Sensation. Did not find out what has changed and unfortunatelly did not have filename because it was installed just after update without reboot request. I see version 4.0.3/Sense 3.6/3.32.401.5 CL309896 ...
Somebody with the same update ?

Settings application:
current version (after the update) is: 4.0.2213332163.350357
In about Settings application there is: 1.00.0048.309896 (original build version)
ya, i got the setting update too, but no idea what has changed...
I successfully installed the 'settings' update, so far all I can see is a not very good attempt at spelling fixes!
Stock xe UK on ics!

My Exchange account settings are now persistant accross reboots.. But I did not checked it before - just test now and it seems to be ok .. Facebook sync looks better now also.. But I still don't see some security settings (still did not make hardreset).
This is the reason for the update:
HTC has developed a fix for a WiFi issue affecting some HTC devices. Most products have received this fix already through regular updates. However, some will need to have the fix manually loaded.

Applied this update on 4.0.3 and I can see the device administrator settings now which weren't there before in my case. I had to get them by bootloader factory reset.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Now when i search for this update it is not found. Instead it came up with applicaion update and downloaded it and installed fine. Not sure what this has done or what has happened to the settigs update. when i search for software updates now it says none found and up to date.

Mysterious OTA - personalisation

Hello,
This morning i received some ota.
I am running 4.0.4 official ICS rom from HTC rooted with SuperSU. I got message about update this morning. No description. Just personalisation 1,13 MB big...
I performed update, but dont see any difference.
Have also received this ?
Some mine ideas are:
1, I uninstalled facebook by Titanium backup yesterday completely. Maybe it tried to reinstall it back ? But FB didnt appear.
2, I tried some super cr.cked applicatio... Maybe some virus ?
I dont know what to do now. Whether i have some virus in phone and should reflash it, or is it normal, or what ?
What do you think ?
Thanks

htc still remembers our old mighty desire s?
Sent from my supercharged :tank:
Got this update aswell
I come back to my desire s after losing my other phone..installed ics via the ruu this morning (yes i know the problem but thought what the hell) and this update popup as soon as setting the phone up
Everything here is stock so no root s-on and all the other stuff,
So maybe HTC are still working on the update after all but what do i know but i will say ive had no problems with the ICS at the moment but its early days yet
I tried uninstalling updates from personalize app, but that cause loss of htc widgets. So i had to restore factory settings.
Some dev could take a look whats inside

I've received that update too and what I hate is this update it will be installed automatically after downloading without requesting permission
I wanted to examine the file after downloading but sadly I couldn't locate it

It's not a firmware update or anything, just an app update which is the "Personalization" menu. It's just like an update for JetPrint on HTC Flyer that has come up after installing an update to honeycomb
yeah
I Just cant understand HTC at all ... personalisation updates and this is all ... The device can handle Jelly Bean ... Well just personal opinion , my next phone will not be HTC , becouse they easy forget about us ... Peace !
