I guess if you have a Touch Cruise, and not a UK O2 branded XDA you'll have to go to the HTC site

That is correct, the HTC branded devices have different firmware to the o2 branded devices. You can obtain that from the HTC website.

Orbit 2 WM6.1 ROM
Loaded it today!
A couple of nice tweaks but I still feel the os needs a major revamp which will hopefully come with WM7.0.
I'm not a big stylus user and a couple of things really bug me, especially the silly little 'x' to close windows in the top right of the screen.
Whenever I'm in the Comms Manager and want to close the thing I seem to keep turning on 'airplane mode' rather than hitting the 'x' button because they're so close to each other!
I still think the device is the best out there though.

just wondering if anyone else has found this problem at som points my orbit will freeze and then start reacting like 10 seconds later.
This is the only problem i have yet to find/annoy me with the rom so far so quite happy, even more happy by the speed increase over the original rom

Hi, i downloaded the rom update, from O2 was wondering if gps and tomtom work fine still, and also with igo 8, i dont wanna flash it and find my gps wont work, thanks peeps.

I have updated to 6.1 and all appears OK, in fact I havn't noticed any major diffirence. For info I have both TomTom and CoPilot working OK.
I am no expert on this ROM upgrading lark, but it took me hours to get my Orbit back to its previous state with the installation and configuration of various apps.
Do those brave guys who are constantly changing their ROMS have to go through hours of re-configuration each time or is there an easy way??
A

is that with your internal gps, i have not got a clue myself about this stuff, you dont unplug anything while its doing it do you.

Battery life seems much improved. Also, the QuickGPS util works very well and a lock can be had in seconds rather than minutes.
One funny - my Direct Push email would not work correctly after the initial upgrade. I could download all my content but the device refused to stay in sync requiring a send/receive to empty the Outbox. No amount of deleting/recreating the Exchange partnership helped. In the end I chose "Clear Storage" and did it all again from scratch. That did the trick....

From my other thread in the sub forum...
Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade my orbit 2 from wm6 to 6.1 using the official patch on the 02 website. When I enter in my serial number I get the download link with some instructions.
One such instruction is...
"Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, read this installation manual (links to PDF) before upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1"
The PDF talks about upgrading from wm5 to wm6 with co pilot 6 installed. Now im upgrading from 6 to 6.1 with copilot 7 installed
Do I still need to follow the guide? or can I just install the upgrade without touching the copilot 7?
I dont want to lose the use of the co pilot software by not deactivating it prior to the upgrade.
I tried calling o2 but they were useless.
Cheers

just reactivate it as you did the first time round @orbit2user123z

Windows 6.1 for O2 Xda Orbit 2 - and the features are?
Now this upgrade is available what do we O2 users get in terms of features? The HTC version on their site details some minot tweaks but not enough to want me to install the upgrade, can anyone give us a definite list of features in O2's new ROM?

I've got it all working now - cheers Madheadwil

Before i found this thread i thought my Orbit 2 was faulty, i could not get any roms to install onto my device but now YESSS!, thank you

That would be really helpful. I don't want to waste a couple of evenings reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications if 6.1 doesn't do a lot more than 6.0 (or the things which have changed are things which I wouldn't use). Anybody know?

New HTC Fuze Official ROM Released

I didn't see any news about this here so... It seams like HTC has released an update for the AT&T Fuze. According to the HTC Support site, here's what's included:
Microsoft's Windows Mobile Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) 1.4.6
Slide to Answer
Push To Talk Button is now re-assignable
FM Radio Application
Enhanced MS Voice Command
Call waiting indicator is now audible when using Speakerphone
HTC Music player supports Album art/info
Improved TouchFlo3D (TF3D) and User Interface performance
A-GPS Update: Speeds up the time it takes the GPS to get a fix on your location
Quick GPS is still recommended for the optimal operation of GPS based applications and services
The update can be found here.

But... what does it take to actually download it? I have a 3-month old Fuze in the US, but when I plug in my S/N - it says that it isn't for my Fuze?

I have the same issue. Tried it twice. Any ideas?

Same here. I just got through sending HTC an email about it. My fuze is only about 2 weeks old.

Same Problem -
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
The phone is less than a year old and it makes me want to reach for an iPhone.

Looks like someone called HTC and was told it would not be up until 12:01 EST. however it is after that now. Guess I will try again after midnight pacific.

It's obvious you're a closet IPhone lover. Quit denying yourself the pleasure of not having to post here ever again.... Go buy an Iphone... go go go go!

just a question
i jst updated my rom with a rom from this site will this new rom from htc work? and will it return my phone back to the factory settings? cuz this new rom from raphael the fuzeberry is awsome

Still saying not for my device
Oh well, hopefully later today

This is the response I got from HTC.
"Hello Shannon, Thank you for your inquiry about the HTC Fuze. We would be happy to assist you with that information. However, we are experiencing an issue in the download of the update for the Fuze. We are aware of the issues and do apologize for the inconveniences. We are working on getting the issue resolved at the current time. We do ask that you allow 24 hrs and then retry to download the software. If after the 24 hr period you are still experiencing issues in downloading the software then please let us know. Again we do apologize for the inconveniences and appreciate your patience in resolving this issue. Shannon, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. HTC Technical Support http://www.htc.com http://www.htcwiki.com."

Can't download Official ROM either
I have a FUZE I purchased in February, same issue with not accepting my S/N. I know I will be a candidate for the new ROM so hopefully, the issue as described above from HTC support will prove to be accurate and we can download in a relative short time. I am really excited to try this new Official ROM as I am not comfortable flashing the ROM's that are available otherwise. I just don't have enough technical background to feel like I can do it without the real risk of bricking my FUZE.

HTC Fuze support site is down...
For now, they are probably fixing the issue with the S/N error because the support sub-site for the HTC Fuze is down.

why would you guys want a rom that weve had the updates for months? and 6.5 is already working great for us plus without all the att junk?

I concur! There really is no reason to downgrade to this rom....

It could have some updated drivers and it looks like it has a new radio in it. That's the main benefit of getting this.

I wouldn't downgrade to 6.1, even if it has "new stuff"....won't take the cooks very long to extract any new stuff, and add it to the 6.5 roms

I agree, that's what I meant by my post...once someone gets their hands on it and can extract the goodies

Well, this ROM is appreciated regardless
I think custom ROMs are sweet, and I am a big fan of 6.5. But, I personally kinda like official releases, despite 6.1 and the AT&T crapware. I'll probably end up installing a 6.5 rom anyway if AT&T doesn't make one, or if AT&T's really sucks. Besides, I am overloaded with MS betas on my PC and phone.

Does anyone know when it will be downloadable again? The link seems to be down again or is there another place to find it?

If this allows the MS voice command to say the name of the caller, then I'm all for this update.

[INFO] Sensation runs 2.3.3

Seeing this photo from an unboxing post. It shows the Sensation running Android 2.3.3. This means it does not have the WiFi security fix that is in v2.3.4.
To me, this is one more reason why I'm waiting till the Sensation is unlocked before buying one. Because I need to be able to quickly apply updates via custom ROM if the carriers are slow in releasing them.

Someone else mentioned in the DHD thread, that Google were fixing stuff server side also to encrypt things.
I'm sure we'll get an OTA soon enough if it needs to be fixed.

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.

Orange UK Update 2.3.4 ????

Has anybody got any ideas if and when orange UK will release the 2.3.4 update !
Every other orerator in the uk has released it why are orange so slow.

still waiting here on t-mobile uk...

Funny how they're the same company...

Why are they so slow.... Oh yes....
It's because orange fill their rom versions with trash and software that nobody will ever use, let alone pay for.
Did you know orange signed a deal with kineto, they are the people who have created smartwifi calling, and yet, htc / orange flagship handset the sensation doesn't have this amazing bit of kit on it, that would help orange customers who live in areas where signal is poor.
Instead orange put sim3, monopoly here and now, dice, and don't forget bejeweled.
Orange give us what we want...... Not fill the phone with rubbish!

Orange KG2
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me , im on 2.3.3 kg2 offical orange update, when is 2.3.4
offical orange due out, and will we be OTA update, or kies.?
And does anyone know why orange are so slow, every other network provider,
has now released this accept for anyone connected to either orange or T-mobiles network.
Whats going on with Orange?>

i rang them today and they told me there is no date for the release, in fact i don't think they will be releasing it soon, if ever.

I've just downloaded and installed 2.3.4 for my Orange branded handset after running a manual check for updates. It was around a 47Mb download. I'm now showing a software version of 1.45.61.4.
As per other threads on 2.3.4, scrolling in Sense seems to be smoother and I can take screenshots with Power + Home. I've also gained 'Signal Boost' in Apps which seems to let me route calls over Wi-Fi.

yes i have just checked and the update is here

Im on orange and downloading now (update is there when I manually checked for updates)

For those who have updated:
Does it mess with your root and S_off, or are they left as before?

I have updated my rooted, Orange branded sensation to 2.3.4..
I followed secion B from the following guide..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648
I then had to re-apply S-Off, reflash recovery and reinstall the SU Binaries.
All good and the Signal boost feature is fantastic.. Gerneral Speed seems a bit better too.

Thanks for your answer!
Quick question:
What update file did you use, an Orange specific one or another one?
And two, where do I find this file?
Thanks!
