Just received and OTA Update on Vodafone UK - HTC Sensation

Update includes "Vodafone Rescue" app.
New build is 1.35.161.2.
Anyone know if there's actually anything worthwhile in this release ?

Same as the others, bug fixes and some speed ups. Do it, always worth keeping up to date

Looks like the postcode problem has been fixed. This pleases me.

I prefer to tread with caution. I did an OTA update on my DHD to Gingerbread, and lost the ability t root it when they locked down the bootloader.
Look before you leap I think is the right approach with this!
I also just got advised there is a 1.35.707.1 update available for mine.. but will wait a few days and see whats in it.

There's nothing in it, it's just bug fixes. Temp-root still works and it improves the phone. There's no benefit in holding off updating. Once we get S-OFF it won't even matter

Charging my Sensation now takes 2.5 hours instead of 5 hours. This alone was worth updating from my perspective.

Sprint Hero OTA rolling out, may have issues

The 2.32.651.2 OTA for the Sprint Hero is still rolling out, and so are some bug reports. I’m hearing and seeing a bit too many reports of things like serious lag, to the point of a battery pull, or problems with contacts since accepting the OTA than usual. According to Sprint, the only thing users should see is an updated Sprint Zone, but there are a couple other bug fixes. Hopefully these are just isolated incidents, as you would think they have the Hero software down pat by now.
In any case, be warned before you click accept. Of course if you’ve rooted your Hero, you have nothing to worry about, because you shouldn’t be accepting OTA updates. Get the update yet? Share your experience (and help out a fellow Hero user) in the forums

I downloaded the update and had zero change to my phone whatsoever. I assumed root was removed once I updated the phone so I went ahead and re-rooted it immediately after updating. There was no change in performance everything remains the same. It seems like the only thing that changed was the baseband version.

I'm running this right now and since Nfinite posted it and have had no probs at all.It is that update rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024
I tried it out for a whole DAY!! It was very laggy on my Hero. I even tried rooting, ading a2sd, switching over cache and adding a custom kernel... No Luck, still slow as sin. Way to go Sprint just gave me one more reason to follow what you want us to do and toss this phone for a new one. But Wait.. I'm smarter than that. I don't have to follow the Sprint Way. So I reflashed LiquidSense. Ahhhhh, That's better.
I only flashed the radio and it decreased my signal. Worst part is I was out in the sticks were I only got two bars afterwards only got none

Yeah I'm Goin back to the prior radio
I'm having a lot of echo on the phone I don't know if its the radio or the rom I just started running the extremely blue cm6
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
lags might be sprint-zone ?
id been on .7 for awhile, did ota to .32 and did not notice any changes in radio (bars or echo or whatnot) nor any changes in lag (contacts or responsiveness)... i DO have those problems (radio due to not-near-tower and lag due to several-hundred-contacts) so i doubt that the 'reports' are common issues... of course i live in metro-socal so life is pretty good normally...
however, i DO believe that a lag (particularly on initial powerup) might be due to the sprint-zone app... i dont know if we had had it before, but now it actually seems to be slightly-intrusive and it DOES require a reasonable connection to dl the info and time to create the notification... i have had it (sprintzone) intrude/notify me twice since the weekend (my OTA update to .32)... i hope it stops - cuz it is not useful info (for me)... personally, id prolly uninstall it if i were into really-customizing my phone...
comparing stock-anything to custom-liquid-sense like the user up above is ridiculous tho... when id gone custom before, there were tweaks for overclocking and so-much-bloat-removal that the phone HAD to be faster...
just my 2-cents, h.

T-Mobile US OTA update?

Why isn't there more angst about T-Mobile US releasing our version of the Sensation update?
Forums for other phones I've had would be exploding long before now that TMO is awful in all sorts of ways.
Has everyone just given up? Any idea of our prospects? Or have I missed something obvious?

Personally I don't want to see ANY TMOUS OTA. I doubt it would give us S-OFF which is want I want to see first. I think most of us are waiting on developer S-OFF and then developer ROMs/kernels/radios and could care less about carrier OTA.

an OTA could ruin your chances at using a developer S-off method
I think it's awesome that there aren't seeing more threads about "when are we gonna get our update in the us....waaaahhhh"
It does nothing for us actually getting one, and as the above posters stated, it would probably leave us worse off. Although, those threads we aren't seeing, have pretty much been replaced by "s-off threads" so there's really been npthing gained

Yeah, I'm not in that group. I don't need another hobby. Besides, HTC is unlocking the phone soon. But I get your point, which I'd overlooked, that most here are only waiting on the devs, not HTC or TMO. Thanks.
I agree... I just want S-off .... no tmobile ota is needed for me.

Actually the "outrage" did prompt TMO to push out a Vibrant Froyo update sooner, and they said they would do better. So I think posting can have an impact, but I see why it's not a high priority around here at this point.

Agreed. And us veterans know we wouldn't take the update anyway.
I'll take an update for bug fixes and speed improvements in a heartbeat. I don't know what you guys are smoking, but I don't want any of it. If we had root and s-off then my song would be a little different, but the sad truth is that we don't. Plus, as I've said before this device is pretty awesome for a non-rooted device. Just make sense run a little snappier like the evo3d and I'm a happy panda.

It's not that we wouldn't want bug fixes, it's that there have been a number of other devices that lost their root and s-off exploits from OTAs. For me, it's just not worth the risk when those bug fixes will be available later via custom ROMs.
in my past experience t-mobile is notoriously bad with ota's ( my previouly phones were the g1 and the mytouch 3g and, had a vibrant for like a month then solid it. ) so i pretty much given up ota with tmobile
Because not everyone likes to whine, and almost everyone doesn't like seeing other people whine.
I'm hoping if there is an OTA, it will enable video-chat on gtalk, the nexus S has this and I thought all gingerbread devices should be able to.

Might be true. I'm new to tmo, but from what I've read and seen, they're not half as bad as att. They sucked when it change to updates, which weren't even ota, had to dl a program and update via home pc.
I couldn't care less. Don't need an OTA. Phone is solid stock. I just want S-Off.
Solid stock? Only of you dont have touchscreen issues. And i cant believe all of you guys dont have it... My 5th sensation will be here tomorrow, 1st 4 had the touchscreen issue. An OTA for touchscreen issues is very very very important. This phone has a ton of bugs.. my experience is the dev community doesn't normally fix the type of issues the sensation has. Who the ef cares if they have an s-off phone if you have to press 14 times for a 7 digit number.. Or cant scroll contacts or home screens with out opening whatever you touch 1st during the swipe. Completely unacceptable. I guess thats why they dont mind replacing my phone every week.... Since thats how long it normally takes for the touchscreen to ef up. I didnt pay etf at sprint to leave the evo for a supposedly way better phone that is slower than the evo once the touchscreen takes a poop. S-off is coming, we know this, HTC says so. Bug fixes are more important to me, we need an OTA like last month!

anyone not be updated OTA to 1.47.401.4?

I just wondering as still haven't!
I never got 1.47, I'm still on 1.28. I'm not sure why.
My DS is an unbranded unlocked UK model.
We are certainly not the only people not to get 1.47.
At first I was glad that I did not get 1.47, but now I notice that (so far) only people with 1.47 seem to be getting the recent upgrade.
Least am not the only one! HTC support seems to think I would need to send my phone away for repair to have it updated!

Seriously. All HTC seem to say is any update news will appear first on Twitter or Facebook, yet when anyone has questioned them on there they deny any knowledge of the update even with proof
The only thing they use social networking for is product spamming and corporate shindig promoting!!
Got a small update months ago which installed an updater, but never got 1.47. Still on 1.28. Unbranded, unrooted.
Interested to learn what HTC told you about returning it...
Yes I got those same updates months ago too! This is what they said after first saying 1.28 was the latest and then me saying I know about some with 1.47
Thank you for your reply regarding your Desire S.
The case there is an update available and you cannot receive it through 'OTA', the device may need to be sent for repair. then your device gets updated to the latest version.
Please confirm the following information in order to be able to book the device for repair:

Do have in your applications (settings> manage applications> all) an install called Updater version 2.3?
I think - not sure - that this is what was installed by the small update? Or is it for the Market? Terribly tempted to uninstall it and see what happens, eg if it updates again, but to 1.47. Or perhaps just try clear data.
Unfortunately to ignorant to know the risk if any...
Yes I and this what small update was it just updates the FOTA program which updates the phone firmware

Say again please?
yes it did install updater version 2.3. if you uninstall it you will be asked to install it again!
DON'T INSTALL 1.47!
Please! If you're looking to depress yourself, google "desire s late sms", look at the hundreds of pages of results, from users all over the world with the same problem.
You lucky ones who are still on 1.28 havent suffered the misery of the problem with 1.47 and the Desire S. Just imagine how much fun could be had, every time you're connected to a mobile data network (GPRS, 3G or HSDPA), knowing that there's a better than 50/50 chance all your 2G functions will stop working. Calls will go straight to voicemail, texts will fail to arrive for hours on end... And then randomly, you'll get a dozen messages at once, from people wondering why you've ignored them all afternoon...
Seriously, stick with 1.28 for now, wait for the next update.
We will need to have 1.47 before we can get 2.10!

can you use wireshark to analyze what the update sever's response is?
as when I've done that it replys {"time_msec":"1317992280856","stats_ok":true,"reason":"FOTACANCEL_NO_MATCH_RULE_FOR_CID","intent":[{"action":"android.server.checkin.FOTA_CANCEL"}]}

I'd prefer not to install wireshark right now, but I'm certain that I would get the same response.
There are plenty of other people in the same situation. I'm guessing that HTC may have aborted deployment of 1.47 because they noticed that it caused so many issues.
I assume that the "no match rule for CID" simply means that there are no updates available for our particular software version at the moment.
I've just factory reset my DS in the hope of fixing another issue, and after doing so it politely updated the version of it's FOTA loader but nothing else new.
Starting deployment of the sense 3.0 version to a few users without any explanation seems a bit dumb of HTC unless they are simply beta testing.
I could understand them prioritising those who have already loaded 1.47 as clearly this is causing them the most issues. We just need to hope that they don't forget those if us who are still on 1.28

Nope, I don't think so. My phone was new, carrier unlocked "sim-free" version from an authorised HTC retailer in the UK. I was previously using an Orange SIM in it, although recently switched to Three. (Have tried to get update when connected to both)

T-Mobile update available

There's an official T-Mobile update available as of this morning. It's over 40MB in size (pretty sure) so I'm imagining It's chock full of goodies.
I can't install it until I get home and defrost some bloat, so does anyone else wanna give it a shot?
I'll give it a shot. It says security and optimizations. DLing now.
EDIT: Looks like an update to Wifi calling.

I don't think so, just tried it for the first time ever, but it didn't seem to work. Ran it twice but still don't have root access.
So I know this is gonna sound like a dumb question but please humor me. What would happen if I ran the update on my rooted phone? Would it brick the phone or just unroot it?

Probably neither, it would more than likely just fail and you would just pull your battery out and reboot to where you are now.
Well I only rooted my phone to unlock it so if I wanted to install the update then I would have to unroot (which I already no how to do).
There was a bump in the kernel version.... but there's nothing in the release notes that would indicate what's changed there. They only mention netflix improvements, Google security fixes, WiFi calling improvements, and something else so minor I've forgotten it already.

Thanks for posting about this, and I really appreciate that the update has been provided so people can get it.
I am downloading the update now from yogi2010's dropbox - i'll see what I can find when I break it open after the download finishes.
I just woke up, so this gets to be the first item on my list.
If there is a new kernel provided, then don't expect to be able to open that up and scan for changes - but otherwise i'll see what I can find out and report back.
I updated my phone on friday night, and it was my first update ever. Is this the same one, or is it a newer version?
First impressions: wow, they made tiny changes to just about everything in the system.
I am going to focus first and foremost on the GPS changes they made - looks like they updated the SUPL certification, the GPS lib file - I need to find out what they did. They probably made it look like the GPS changes I made, but I never edited the SUPL certification file so expect an update to my GPS patch (probably) when I figure it all out.
I am also concerned about what they did with the bluetooth stuff - they updated the blacklist and also all of the Bluetooth files on the device.
If anyone applied the update, can you check and see if all of your bluetooth devices work?
I am half tempted to apply the update to one of my MT4GS phones, but I'm afraid of bricking it trying to go back after I sort through it all - writing the Radio is where you can brick your phone and that I would have to do ... so looks like i'll be figuring out how to decompile some of these update files and note the changes.
If anyone has any information to share about the update, please post it here.

the reason i was kind of a proponent of the first update was because there were changes to a LOT of things, even tho the size of the package was small. still, i myself don't know what was changed, if anything.
do you think the fact the HBOOT read the original PC59IMG.zip on my sdcard, and asked me to update, means that we can still go back to what we had before?
unfortunately no bluetooth devices here but will report back later about GPS.

Probably - I may very well end up trying later but don't hold your breath. I might apply it to my phone that I bought with my plan so that I can take it back to T-Mo and force them to give me another one because their update broke it.
It kinda is special to me, being my first smartphone ever, so I don't want to part with it, but if I can't figure it all out i'm not so sentimental that i'll let that impede progress.
-also -
If anyone does flash this, some of the files that were removed with Undeadk9's security patch - and are also removed in my ROM, are put back onto the phone - most notably QXDM2SD.apk that I have seen thus far - this will have to be removed again if the update is flashed to prevent logging activities.
I have no idea what Smith.apk is - so decompiling and looking through that after I finish typing this out.
I'll keep people updated as I go through it.
can someone check if the CIQ stuff is still there or not?

I'm not sure yet about CIQ - but Smith.apk is absolutely a new logging utility.
It looks like it's primary function is to log battery stuff, but that doesn't look like it's all that it's logging - i'm looking into this and disappointed to see another attempt at spyware and intrusive logging being pushed onto our phones.
Please be advised that in addition to the .apk file mentioned above, Smith.apk is a logging utility that needs to be assessed and explored more in-depth. I am doing so now but others should as well if they can, maybe see something I miss.
Also looks like Smith.apk gives us a new dialer code - 76484 is the number but not sure what the preface is to get to it. Check my sig under 'guides index' to see the other dialer codes i've found so far.
If anyone has installed this update, can you experiment with the different ways of entering dialer codes to see about activating this number?
More to follow as I get through it all.
Thanks!

Major OTA update 6.2.2013 -

Guys,
Incase you didn't know, doesnt appear to be common knowledge yet, but i just had a tip off, checked updates and low and behold, an update is available.
Im carrier unlocked, so it may be a while coming to you, but keep checking.
Strangely about still reports OSversion is 80.10211.204?
On the face of it, it appears to be a quite a big release, after installing and restarting a couple of time, you get presented a 'migrating data' screen, in all takes 10 minutes from starting the install.
Whats changed...?
Well i dont know yet, still installing, but thought id give you all the heads up.
Will report back when installation has finished.
Ciao.
Interesting find! Receiving the update as well now (unbranded). Makes me curious as of what might have changed.
Strange, but the "Windows Phone 8 update history" on microsoft site nows nothing about this update.
UPD:
Some Sina Weibo account could be added.
If you read OP message carefully, OS is not updated. It is probably just a HTC firmware update. Not a WP8 OS update.
Well it isn't an os update, so its from htc, as to what its done i don't know. I didn't note my firmware version before updating so i cant tell you lol. Device feels faster but probably placebo effect. Anyone notice anything?

Any information on what this update contains would be appreciated
A little extra boost on battery life would be nice, not that my 8X has a bad life, but its not the best ever.

It seem now i can't flash via Goldcard method! :crying: (i can't unbrand it this time!)
And after reset there is a gears turning during 5 mn on screen! I Never See This Before....
IF YOU WANT TO UNBRAND YOUR 8X DO NOT UPDATE NOW.
My batterylife seems to be better - my device would get pretty hot while using Whatsapp or reading pdf files or things like browsing, but not anymore since this OTA update!
One thing I have noticed, is that the phone sometimes has a 1-2 second delay after tapping the Back key. so sometimes I press back twice because the phone didn't seem to response to the first tap but it did in fact, so I double tap out of an app which is pretty annoying. But if thats all, well, I'll just use the windows button instead haha.
Anyone noticed that under Advanced (Wifi) you have the ability to let the phone detect your location for better wifi re-connection? At least I didn't notice this option before the patch. Pretty sweet! Doesn't seem to impact my battery too much, I usually finished the day with 25%, now I still have around 50-60%. Might be placebo, but it makes me smile when I see other people running for powersockets with their iPhones/Androids
Hi,
I have an HTC from USA AT&T, I have firmware: 1532.20.10009.502 and bootloader: 0.0.1532.20(156201),
Why this numbers are far enought from the one you are saying and when I look for updates it say it is updated.?
Well, the device is certainly booting faster, so that is a big :highfive: in my book
Is this update on Verizon.
Check the volume guys, same as Lumia 800. Restricted
Haven't received anything yet! Unbranded 8x here! Are they distributing this one by country or what?
Just had update here on O2 UK...
Only difference I have seen so far is a Hearing Damage Warning when putting the volume over 20 when listening to music....to be fair, mine never actually hits more than 15....

well, I had the update two days ago. The volume is not restricted, just that now when you turn it up above 20/30 while playing media content, it will give you a message about blasting your eardrums out. Probably they forgot to include that before as the 8X is quite capable of high volume output. Just some legal precautions. Other than that, it's just a FW and boot loader update from HTC side, not from MS.

i don't know how they decide which devices get the update, but it isn't depending on Country as my father got the update 3 days ago and i'm still with the 20003 Firmware
but as Long we don't Need to wait too Long i think it is acceptable

You got that update while being on the leaked version of portico?
Is it just me, after the update, stopped the clock in HTC application on the tile?
