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!!

does the speaker sound any better/louder?
Its amazing HTC already has a software update out when it took Samsung 3+ months.

Had to do another reboot after the update, but Visionary is still good.

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.

MT4G w/ "Superior" Screen Vs. Iphone 4

This is a shot of my replacement MT4G with the "Superior" screen compared to my wife's iPhone 4. Colors on the iPhone Retina still look better but at least my MT4G is in the ballpark as my "inferior" screen before this one displayed the same picture in a salmon color.

How did you get the better screen? Mine sucks. If I call HTC so you think they well replace it.

It's the luck of the draw. Just keep returning it till you get a good one. Newer batch seems to have a higher probability.

I'm already on my second from the Tmobile store itself. What reason did you get yours replaced.

I wonder if the superior screen is the new super clear lcd screens that nexus s was rumored to have across the sea.

Please post discussions in general section.

Here is how...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9635011&postcount=1
I did get my replacement, and compared it to my co workers iphone 4, and I can confirm it is up to par or slightly better in some cases than the iphone 4, as far as picture sharpness... I think the Mytouch has the edge, coz you can adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness and other more photo tweaks before even taking it.

You could but I'm not sure if they recognize this as a actual problem yet. You could add another more serious random problem, and the screen as another issue.

re:You could but I'm not sure if they recognize this as a actual problem yet. You could add another more serious random problem, and the screen as another issue.
This is true, I had mine for about 2 weeks, every day looking at my girlfriends good screen pissed me off. So i unrooted mine and called t mobile. Was one the phone for about 30 mins and he said it was not a common issue yet. He did day I was his second caller calling about the screen issue. I also had a spot on the screen that was flawed, it would not let ee touch the " compose message" spot when texting on anything else. Anyways they are going to overnight one with no shipping. Also I took a survey and they told me for doing so, I get one free month of service. I guess getting a "bad" screen was a good thing.

Yeah, but it doesn't guarantee that the replacement will have the good screen. Best luck to you, hope you get a good one.

Glad to here, I think your chances are good. It seems the ones coming now most of them are coming with the good screens. If it doesn't get another one.

[Q] I noticed the demo Sensations running a different rom

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this before but I was playing around with the demo model of the Sensation in my local phone shop. Typically it runs a demo video and disables any buttons but I forced a reboot and noticed that before the video started again it was running a sense-less rom. The locks creen and home screen were completely stock android. Anyone else notice this?

And your point is?
Even if it is a different ROM, you won't be getting it, you get what HTC give you and thats that, until of course you unlock and flash custom roms to your hearts content.

Go back to that shop, nandroid back up and post it up here :3

LOL..now thats funny...and a great idea.

Go back to the shop, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the ROM name

Eddy, he can't, its locked to the demo video. Could try something else though.
Op, if its not to much to ask, go back to the shop, reboot in safe mode (instructions somewhere here on the forum) and then you should be able to check sw version.

Thought the OP could do it before the video kicks in

I understood that he could only see lock screen for a sec before video started.

If it really is a senseless Rom with sound working，then wow.

I'll see if I can go back and poke around. I'll see if its functional or just a stripped rom with only sound working. I'll report back if I find anything interesting.

I went into Best Buy today, and played around with THEIR Senstion, or at least tried to.
The bootanimation is the one from the Android SDK, with the "android" logo. However, once you get to the launcher, it's the stock one from Gingerbread, though the notification bar is still the one from Sense.
However, this is were things get interesting, I booted up into the bootloader and snapped some pics from the Sensation I am returning.

What we have is a future build of Hboot. We also have some strange options like System Info and MFG Kernel.
I went into System Info and I see "touch panel-fail" but I think thats because HTC disabled it to so that you wouldn't be able to get out of the demo app.
Anyways, I'm sure this is all meaningless now that we have CM7, but it's still cool.

Very good job on the pics my friend, interesting...

Never seen that hboot before... Interesting. Have you tried to go in recovery? (I see the option)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk

I actually tried Recovery and it looked like the standard recovery. I got the phone with the red X or whatever and couldn't get out of it. Walked away...

That's where you press volume up+power to get the Recovery menu

Looks like a Eng hboot to me. And interesting... it's super cid-ed..

[Q] T-Mobile SMS Issue

Good Evening Everyone. As I have a T-mobile HTC one S has anyone else had a issue with the sms notfications. The sound does not go off or nothing shows in the notifications bar. You just manually have to go into messages to see if you have a new one. This has been my second phone and it just seems to be going on.
I am sorry if this was already brought up as I have been looking in the threads for a while. And I am new to this.
Thanks in advance for the help.

nothing out of the ordinary as far as apps. I did "google search" on the issue and see it is a known issue for the ONE X. So i dont know if it releated to the HTC 1 family.

At first I thought I was nuts but I know the phone is doing it not one phone but two thats the weird thing !!!

I'm having this issue too. Sometimes though, my phone will vibrate and there will be nothing on the notification bar. Most of the time I have to restart the phone and the SMS will show up. Other times it will randomly show up hours later which is really inconvenient. =^/
