Sensation released on orange

For those waiting for a Sensation on Orange, the wait in finally over
I got a call last night letting me know that the stock had finally been tested and released. Their site still says coming soon but if you call up you should be able to order. Mine's been dispatched and should be with me tomorrow!

Hope for your sake they've not ruined it with crapware

Me too
I was only holding out so I could get a cheaper deal, ended up getting the handset free with 600 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb data for £22 per/mo.
The only thing I'm worried about is the branding on the hardware, I'm hoping that they've left the phone's body blank like vodafone and O2... but I'm almost positive that they will have soiled it with Orange logos. I'll probably be able to remove the crapware eventually... hopefully

Suppose it's the price you pay for a cheaper deal...

I was on a Dolphin 40 previously on my HTC Hero, they have matched that and increased for the same price ( it was discounted already down to £30 a month ).
I have 1200 anytime mins, Unlimited texts, 1.25 gb ( 750Mb + 500 Mb ), Wifi, Email, Maps and 50 MMS. Havent checked the rest. Apparently I have been given the max loyalty bonus they can give me. I am happy. Orange is about the best signal where I live.
Mine arrived yesterday (15th July ) and as reported elsewhere in the forums, my SD Card isnt working so they are swapping it today. Its not the memory card but the device.

Interesting tag of yours
"HTC Sensation (Z710e) ROM: 1.35.401.1 EUR (GRI40) | Recovery: Stock | Radio: Stock | Kernel: Stock"
My Orange Sensation came shipped with what looks like a lot older build
Stock Rom: 1.35.61.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10
Wonder if thats why the SDCARD isnt working. Your build seems to be closer to the one that Sprint has shipped to solve software bugs.
Eddie

Tried to upgrade yesterday, but if I want to stay on the same Dolphin35 deal that I'm currently on (although paying £30) they want £199 off of me for the handset! That's not gonna happen!
Can you confirm if they've bastardized the ROM with their Orange branded crapware, and if there is any branding on the device? Cheers.

No, you have the newest version, because it's 1.35. The 61 only tells what carrier you use or what country it is. Unbranded Europe is x.xx.401.1, Vodafone Europe is x.xx.160.1 (or something like that, I don't remember),...
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

I got my sensation on Thursday and so far I'm pretty happy! It's a lovely handset and only has branding on the back of the battery door so it could be swapped out with a new one if i wanted.
I'm not exactly sure how much the ROM has been changed tbh, though there's a good few orange apps floating about. The phone has been a little sluggish at times but I'm unsure if that's orange's doing or sense.
Battery life has been ok for the amount I've been playing with it, been getting about 12 hours on average so far, but I'm sure that will rise when i play with it less and the battery settles in.

Sounds like they have messed around with the ROM then. Looks like I'll be upgrading via Carphone Whorehouse then in order to get an unbranded handset, unless the phone gets rooted pretty soon and we can install stock/custom ROMs.

Just upgraded mine with mobiles.co.uk on orange. As they operate as carphone warehouse hopefully it will be unlocked. ill post my findings

Any update on the mobiles.co.uk phones?
Usually I just ignore the Orange branding, but my wife just upgraded through Orange and the thing is cluttered to hell with Orange crap. Why can't they at least hide it away in a separate folder? Orange Mail, Orange Maps, Orange Backup, Orange Photos, Orange contact backup, and that's before all the crappy games...
I was on the verge of upgrading but I have to admit I am so hacked off that it's been ruined by Orange I might just hard reset my Hero to speed it up a bit and stick with that...

Luckily i avoided going direct to Orange and went to dial-a-phone,Mines unbranded and unlocked to all networks...No Orange Bloatware!! And only £25 a month which is £10 less than with my old hero and i get more with it!

Hehehe, know what you mean!
Was desperately waiting for S-off just so I can zap all that rubbish! Now Im a happy bunny, easy peasy wth some one click system app removers.
Now just have to wait till the screen issue gets sorted so I can actually use the phone!
My advice would be to wait a couple of months, you will probably get a better pgrade deal, and hopefully a fixed phone.
PS I always prefer to get my phones from the networks themselves. Much easier with warranties etc, and have heard some horror stories with peoples experiences with third party retailers, even the big ones.

[Q] HTC Desire S - Orange ROM Install

Thanks to Orange UK being unhelpful regarding a contract upgrade (sim only to pay monthly is apparently impossible) and then providing incorrect advice to a friend of mine, she now has the following problem with her HTC Desire S S510e.
She desperately needs to be able to use the Orange Signal Boost (UMA) app and was told that although Orange were unable to sell her an HTC Desire S she could buy one herself (unbranded / unlocked) and then this would allow her to receive and make phone calls on her Orange account via UMA. Too late she has discovered that this is nonsense - the HTC firmware / software that comes with the non-Orange phone does not include the Kineto Smart Wi-Fi (Orange Signal Boost) app.
Both HTC and Orange are unwilling to help.
So here are the questions:
1. Is it possible for her to replace the factory HTC firmware / software with the Orange version? She is not concerned if this means her phone will then be locked to Orange as it was never her intention to change networks.
2. Is there any risk that trying to do this will break the phone?
3. After the change (if this is indeed possible) will the phone then function exactly as if it had come from Orange UK (eg: update automatically etc)?
If this oddly in-reverse process is possible could someone please provide me with an idiot-proof guide (I do not have phone developer experience) or links to all the steps to follow and also where to find any required software or files.
I have already downloaded the file RUU_Saga_Orange_UK_1.31.61.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_178918_signed
but am unsure if this is the most recent version available and if so how to install it.
Thanks

Problem Solved
Solution:
1. Install HTC Sync. No need to run the app but the drivers are required for the RUU step later.
2. Make a Gold Card. Visit this site to find-out how:
>addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd<
I used the SD card that came with the phone.
3. Download an appropriate RUU.
4. Turn the phone off and connect to the PC via USB.
5. Open the RUU file and follow the instructions.
The result should be a phone with the required RUU (in my case Orange UK) that will function / update as normal.
NB: If you are branding an unbranded HTC as an Orange (or other) HTC then you do not need to get involved in rooting / unrooting. Clearly you would only wish to brand for a very specific reason (such as to gain access to the Orange UK Signal Boost / UMA feature).
Good Luck

Hi all,
I am looking to do this on my Desire S, as I have problems getting signal on my generic phone.
If I was to put the Orange ROM onto my phone so I can use orange signal boosting, will I be able to go back to stock easily enough if needed.
I have recently updated OTA to
Android Version - 2.3.5
Software number - 2.10.401.4
Is the Orange ROM this version?
Thanks in advance,

Have you now sorted this?
I have done virtually the same and it works perfectly - let me know if you need the file.

I've had a similar problem, any chance I could get hold of the RUU? I can't find it anywhere after hours of Googling.

I've been searching and searching on how to solve the same problem - could anyone give me a hint on finding a valid download link for the Orange HTC Desire S RUU that nch45167 infers does exist. I can't find it from googling.
The reason I want to get back to the provider stock ROM is to get the Signal Boost feature on Orange. I've seen links to apps people have extracted of Signal Boost to use on rooted devices, but I really don't want to do that. Looks far too tricky, and not a very good success rate from reading the comments.

I've got (just upgraded from it) a Desire S. This feature was discussed extensively on the HTC DS forums at one time. It also took me less than 60 seconds on Google to find this page.

Thank you SimonTS. My googling skills must be off form. I feel embarrassed - you're quite right - exactly what I'm looking for is indeed out there. Thanks again.

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:
From which address you wish the collection to happen
On which day you wish the collection to happen (please allow 48 hours’ notice)
The Serial Number of your device. (Serial Number can be found underneath the battery.) I will then book and confirm this via Email and provide further repair instructions:
We can arrange for UPS to collect your device from an address (Mainland UK only) that is convenient for you. UPS can collect on Monday through Friday from 1pm to 5pm. There is no UPS service on Weekends and Public Holidays.

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)

[Q] Updates for LG-P925G?

I'm in New Zealand and I bought an LG Optimus 3D via "Mobicity" because I wanted a model that is compatible with the Telecom XT WCDMA network. They sent me a Rogers phone - the LG P925G. It is unlocked.
I love the thing. It's awesome.
But it does raise the question of how I might get any updates. My IMEI will be for a Canadian phone. Does Rogers SIM-lock this phone?
I've tried LG Update and selected Canada as the country. It lists the version of firmware I am currently on (v10C). There do not appear to be any updates.
If there is a way to check for OTA updates, I can't find it in the menus in the phone.
Anyone have any answers to these questions? I've been reading through various threads and most relate to the LG-P920, which is sold here in NZ by Vodafone. But I don't use Vodafone as their new data plans suck and I can get 4 times the data from Telecom for the same money.
I'd like to work out how to update my P925G the "normal" way,if that's possible. I'm happy to root the phone and flash other firmware if there is no other way, but I do not want to disturb or break the 3D functionality of the phone as that is the primary reason I bought it.

Hi Mate... I have the same phone P925g its from Rogers Canada.... It is unlocked... but am afraid if you flash to other roms of P920 u may loose network connectivity like me.... am struggling for it... ! now it is more like a gadget than the phone.

I'm fighting to find if this telephone has a radio-specific chipset for rogers or it's firmware-locked to rogers as I am trying to carry it to videotron... trying to locate the base roger firmware to start poking around since I can't source this information on the net...

Trying exactly the same thing.... the issue is with network radio ... hope its not chipset issue...how to solve this now...

I have an app reporting the radio is an XMM 6260 which is listed as pentaband on intel's website, but I can't seem to source a specification sheet with frequency lists...

which app is that ??

"Phone Info" app.
under ALL VALUES you will see CPU Omap4430 and Radio right under XMM 6260.

Update will be when???
Hi all, I too purchased the 925g from mobicity in Brisbane here and what an awesome piece of technology...
It came branded as Rogers and I spent double the amount of the p920 just to get the 925's NextG compatability... it flies on their network here....
But I am really wanting to go to 2.3 as all of you are too. I too have tried the Canada settings and several others in the hope of getting the update but have had no luck.
I too will not use a custom mod in the fear of losing my dearest features... the 3D.
If anyone has any further info or timeframes I would be all ears
Cheers
Chris

I guess the thing to do is monitor Rogers and see if / when an update comes out. One was due out in October...which has very few days left now.
Or just buy an HTC Evo 3D as HTC are very good about Android updates....and it's a higher spec phone anyway.
BTW - Ive worked out how to make 3D videos for uploading to YouTube that will also play perfectly on the LG Optimus 3D. My YouTube channel is "linuxluver". The last 4-5 videos should work perfectly in landscape. If you want to know how to do it, post a comment on a video or send me a message on YT.

Have you heard anything ???

I have a p925g, Rogers branded - actually on Rogers in Canada.
I tried flashing up v21a base band, but I has massive problems with getting a signal and (strangely) my wifi. It really wasn't useable unless you are cool with edge only. Gross.
There where a few sweet spots where I could stand and get proper hpsa though, so it sort of almost worked...
My advice would be to not try it, its kind of a long procedure to go back to froyo.
We are pretty much stuck until Rogers decides to do something about it. Its a piss off ;(
Sent from my LG-P925g using XDA App

Good Morning!
The topic of this thread is semi-related to the GB Baseband for Canada thread.
As I have stated in that thread, I am using a Rogers P925 that is unlocked and using the Bell network.
I flashed the GB KDZ file (twice before it worked) and I have successfully upgraded to Gingerbread without any network issues!
My network speeds when running speedtest lie on average in the 2.5Mbps-5.5Mbps range (which is exactly the same as when I was usuing Froyo; HSDPA+ will have to wait for the official update!
There is a mobilesyrup article you may google which states Rogers intends to roll out an update piror to the end of the year.
Those of you that are brave may want to flash the GB KDZ (you can akways go back to Froyo quite easily if it does not work). Otherwise, the update appears to be expected in a few weeks!
In the meantime I am enjoying the use of Acurom!
Thank you, Audi.

SO glad to see other P925G users...
Hi, I am in Australia, Brisbane and also have a Rogers P925G. I grabbed it over the 920 as it supports our Telstra Nextg network here. It has amazing speed and coverage. Well at least it did until I put GB on it using the 21a_00.kdz that I think we are all using and now instead of the 4G icon in the network status I get 3G and sometimes H but the signal strength has dropped away to less than half or worse everywhere.
My guess is that the GB build is not using the proper radios for NextG. 850Mhz I think from memory but I am pretty sure the phone must be using the 2100Mhz network only. The upgrade to GB has impressed me but I want to go back to froyo network speeds.
You say here that it is easy to get the rogers software back on there but I have had no luck at all, not through the update tool, through PC Suite, through trying to unbrick it because it was bricked for a bit too until I found the recovery mechanism..
My question I guess is... Is there a way to get GB to recognize the correct radio hardware with the 21v_00.kdz build and if not, how the heck do I get it back to the original firmware please... I am struggling and would really love some help.
Am stoked with the 925 though and have since also found a cheap second hand unlocked 920. It went to GB on optus no worries. It interestingly gives me the very same signal strength with a nextg sim and that is why I think the 850 radio is just not being used.

Might have found something
In my quest to get radios working on correct frequencies I found a post here that talked about hidden menus. One of them ... 3845#*920# punched into the phone gives you the ability to play with the bandwidth settings radios etc.
I set mine to wCDMA 850 and have been much happier since
Hope it gives food for thought...

Thanks so much. I have had no luck with this phone since I've gotten it, and that really helped increase the network speeds I've been getting. now I just need to figure out how to get signal on custom roms, and find and flash a radio file for this thing.

WCDMA i put between 850/1900 and saw little difference.

Just for fun I emailed rogers support about the update to this phone. Hilarious, these guys
My first reply was..

released until they are launched to the consumer market. We suggest you
visit www.rogers.com/telephones because when new products are released

Huh? Thats not even the same question I asked! They didn't even so much as read it Awesome guys. But hey, maybe I just got a dummy. So I replied and said something along the lines of "No, not a new phone, just an update you promised me when I bought it." and I got another reply!

Oh, progress! Oh wait, no. Thats for a Nexus One -- another phone entirely. Again, they didn't even bother to read the question.
But apparently I'm a valued customer
A forum post I found on that same forum contained this troubling post though,
Just spoke with LG briefly, I was told that we will NOT be getting the GingerBread update at all. Instead they are skipping it and we will be getting ICS instead. He would not disclose any sort of time frame for the update though.

Thats kind of annoying if its true -- p920 and p925 are pretty damn similiar phones except for the radio... whats the big deal here anyway, I don't quite get why getting an update out for this phone is such a pain in the ass.
Cheers!

Well I am assuming that most of you posting in here are on rogers. I am on Fido, and I am wondering if any of you have gotten any roms workning on this phone other than stock? What's the difference between 925 and 925g? Why do I only get one bar when I switch up roms? Is there no way to extract our radio file to zip, flash a custom rom, then reflash rogers radio? I came from a nexus s, then an xperia play both of which are very customizable. This phone seems to be a nightmare, I wonder if this is a mistake getting this thing and I've only had it 3 or 4 days.

Well. If you've only had it a few days I'd return it and get a phone with better support. There are only two optimus 3d's, P920 and P925G, though. I just leave the 'g' off because its a bit redundent
Seriously though, the hardware is great, and the software would be fine with the carriers didn't treat their customers like crap. LG has the damn firmware apparently, too bad we'll never see it.
As much as I like the hardware, I'd return it if I could for something that works with Gingerbread, a lot of cool apps require it now and we're left out. My banking software requires GB *for some reason* and Onlive looks pretty cool...

Hmmmm, it's all very confusing.....

I can confirm that my brothers HTC Sensation, O2 UK branded has just received the update... So, check manually and you should get the update
edit : it just finished updating and first thing i noticed is the ugly o2 boot up screen lol
it didn't have the o2 splash screen on gingerbread but now they seem to have put the splash screen on ics :/

^^^^ is that the blue bubble looking screen?, I've had that on gingerbread all the time, it's awful lol. I'll try for the update when I get in....

I too have the O2 start up screen on gingerbread

Update received on my O2 branded Sensation.

oh, this one actually didn't have the ugly o2 splash screen when it was on gingerbread...
but, this update is actually really good... phone runs much smoother

Still waiting for my update on O2 - Sensation XE

Can anyone post the update for me to flash to return to stock O2? I need to return my Sensation to O2 due to constant "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" Errors and don't want them to know I've been messing with it...

you are better off starting a new thread or use the search funtion
not all people will open this thread... and don't forget to tell about your current rom, s- on/off etc

Not here for me yet...... :-(

Can someone upload the update to an online mirror?

still no update for me

Apparently o2 have found bugs in the ics release and are working with HTC to iron them out........ So we'll probably see it towards the end of the year.

Updating my phone now

some posts on O2's twitter feed saying Sensation XE update is available toady and to keep trying manual update.
I have tried numerous times no update for me yet.

i've just tried, still nothing for me......

Just spoke to an "O2" Guru and they have confirmed HTC/O2 are releasing ICS today and it will be rolled out in stages.

Downside - SkyGo no longer recognises the phone.
