Has anyone received the OTA Update

I was just wondering if anyone has received the OTA update yet? I've heard it's live but I haven't received a notification and when I tell it to check for updates it says no updates available...

Update
Nope, i've been checking on an hourly basis! hehe .... I don't know if they're rolling it out in different areas at different times or not.. I'm in Virginia so, it's not here yet..

OTA rollouts usually take up to 2 weeks to reach all customers. There is not set way they do it that we have found. Some may get it day 1 some will get it on the last day.
Usually they start off with only a small amout of phones to begin with in case of issues then they roll out more and more..

Thanks for the quick reply

Nothing yet, even after using *#*#CHECKIN#*#*
If *#*#CHECKIN#*#* doesn't work, it usually means they haven't started pushing it yet.

To add, I think they usually start at night as well. Even though the rumor is May 3rd, they probably won't start the OTA until this evening. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

No update here yet either.
On a side note, Status under software update is blank for me, and when selecting 'check new,' it says 'Checking for new Software available now' then just disappears. I thought it said No update at this time or something like that?

To those already running the leaked RUU, I wonder if the rollout will check to see which firmware you are running and if it sees you are on the latest it will just pass you by and consider you up-to-date and never prompt you to update since it doesn't think you need it

My phone never shows a window in response to a check for updates. My girlfriend has had three Thunderbolts and every one showed a "No updates available" window. I think some phones just don't pop a window in response. I have flashed several different stock RUUs.

Will the update skip over me because I moved most of my bloat to sdcard\bloat ?

Just to confirm, will the update come through automatically OTA or do we have to pull/push it through manually (especially of we are rooted running custom rom)?
thanks

A. If you are rooted and have a custom ROM - just wait for the developer to update the ROM including the OTA... this probably has already happened with most ROMs using the leaked software
B. The OTA will be pushed to your phone randomly... no way to manually or force install it unless someone on the forums captures the OTA url address.
C. If you installed the leaked RUU, you will not receive the OTA
(this information should be a sticky)

I think I almost got the update. I can feel it my phone is also acting like it wants the update so this is a promising sign.

T-Mobile Preping for GB Update!?

So, after checking system updates for awhile and seeing I am at the current version, I just tried again and got
"Connection Failed."
Maybe T-Mobile took down the server for checking software updates to prep for the new version?
I thought it may have been my signal, but I am fully able to browse the web at 4G speeds...
***crosses fingers!!***
Edit: another idea I had was, maybe the shut down the server for update checks due to a TON of people loading the servers with checking for updates due to the GB update rumor? LOL

It makes sense seeing as how just yesterday it said "current version is latest" or whatever.....

what's with some guys getting connection errors? I've never received one, always software up-to-date.

I just got my first one ever.
Probably just servers are busy because all the checking.

Thanks.

T-Mobile USA releasing 1.84.531.2 710RD

I just read a post on TMO News and they are releasing a software update, the big changes are as follows:
Improvements
Resolves goodbye splash not appearing when powering off due to low battery.
Resolves voicemail indicator not appearing while using Wi-Fi calling.
Improvements to Wi-Fi Calling
Improvements to camera stability
Resolves signal fluctuation.
It's dropping tomorrow so if you have the stock ROM you should be able to go into software updates and look for update and get it right away.
I have to wait for a dev to incorporate these changes as my phone is rooted, so I'll look forward to that once they get a dump.

It seems the 0.17 radio software is being released

I wish it included a fix for SMS notifications... I find I don't get a status icon or notification sound about 1/5 of the time.

The most stupid ota ive ever seen. "Does not work on rooted devices"

I agree. First they allow to unlock the bootloader and then they release an update just for unrooted device...make you happy with one hand and take it away with the other, boh!?!
Do you know if this update is available already in italy? I am mainly interested in the radio update 0.17

Updates have never come to rooted devices, this is the first one I've seen actually address the issue, and probably due to HTC's bootloader policy.
As far as I know and the article said this update is only for T-Mobile USA, not any other countries.

According to cerebeln Radio base band would be 0.17 when European one(1.78) has the 0.16 version.
Let me hope ;-)

the radio is based on the software build... As I learned that the newest radio is not always the best radio

True. The 'best' radio depends on what ROM you are using. I have a TMOBUS device running on LeeDroid's ROM (EU). The EU radio works best for me since it is an EU ROM. When I restored my stock nand, the US version seemed to work better (data fluctuation and overall stability).

I just have no idea how we are going to flash the new radio, bootloader, etc without having an RUU or getting S-Off. Is it possible?

Can someone tell me if the legacy buttons on every single app is part of HTC? Because I know a lot of apps have the legacy buttons somewhere in the corner but the ones at the bottom are always there. If so, will this update have anything to do with it or am I just crazy?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

Legacy button at the bottom is the fault of the app makers, not the phone, they haven't revised their code to optimize for ICS. One non-Google example of an app that does have the menu in the top corner is TripAdvisor. So, the update is not going to address that.

Well I saw someone post that they loaded a custom ROM on the HTC one x that uses the multicasting button as the menu button, do you happen to know if a stock ROM exist for this phone that does that?

Yeah - I love the samsungs but for some reason they don't work as well as other phones on the Verizon network. If I only used a few hundred minutes per month, I might not notice however I spend about 2-3 thousand minutes per month on the phone so I'm VERY aware of when a phone has a radio issue.

im shocked i haven't seen anything posted about this update anywhere but this thread.

With every OTA the question is the same - could this possibly lock the bootloader again? This looks like it's just an updated gmail and play store apk, wonder why its 62MB in size.

It just says 'email' not 'Gmail'. We wouldn't get an update to Gmail from Verizon, we'd get it from the play store. Or the leaked one that's kicking around the forums.

Click to expand...

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.

I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.

I'm running the HD, so this new HE must be like one build newer I would guess.

I hear they took it out on pretty well every model.
TBH, microsofts update model sucks. It still goes through the carriers and some models will never receive updates (or never receive them until months after other models/carriers... Like Portico for Bell, getting it months after rogers.)

Guys, Data Sense is part of GDR2 but it depends on your carrier if you see it on your phone. Thats been said about 100k times. Thats what Microsift wrote in the update description.
AFAIK most european carriers dont suppprt it. =P

So which mythical models support it?

Who is talking about 'models'? Its not about phone models.
It's about your carrier. If your carrier supports it you will see it on your phone with GDR2. If your carrier doesnt you dont see it.
If in doubt ask your carrier.

Regardless, not one carrier (carrier's "model" i.e. - different carriers versions may have different capabilities) I have heard of included it yet (I think people on wpcentral with unbranded "models" didn't even get it.)
I was under the impression that Microsoft were not going to get strong-armed by carriers, like Bell getting portico months after rogers.
Also, talking about a feature being left out IS talking about the update.

This is about the update AFTER GDR2. I had it for weeks. Still there was another update today. HTC 8Xs had some troubles and this 'after GDR2 update' seems to fix the issues (like the overheating of the sound chip).
Please fin youself a thread about GDR2 not one for updayes to it. And for your information. This is not about 'bullying' - Data Sense like Visual Voice Mail depends on technology employed by the carrier. It is part of the update. And yes i do t know any carrier who uses it. But if you are from Europe i can by now confirm you wont see it. Please ask your carrier about when or if they will deploy Data Sense.
Cheers
