Voda just branded my handset OTA!

Just had a system update from Voda, was only 19mb so knew it wasn't Froyo but hoped it might be a stepping stone to it. Instead I've now got a Voda boot screen and cheap looking Voda 360 icons in my menus :-(
Congratulations!
Ok now the serious note, are you rooted?
Scratch that,, see Here for info
and here for the fix
Sorry my bad, thought this was brand new info...

Didn't notice your fix link, thanks

igyaan.in/2010/11/igyaan-exclusive-desire-hd-and-desire-z-india-launch-on-10th-dec-prices/[/url]
Good News...Badly waiting for it...Looks like the rates are cheaper than what u get in europe...Not sure what's the catch....
WOW they keep rolling them out to other countries despite that according to htc they 'cant keep up with demand' and that is just demand in the uk. i guess this is the reason for the delays ......
however it is good news for those of you who want to pick one up on contract i guess
@Noobdeagle
-No we don't have phones on contract in India...all are sim unlocked.
-You can buy phone from carriers but still have to pay the unlocked price
Recently they released in germany and checked amazon and other sites...its already out of stock in Germany...so Even the phone is announced in india...only the almighty knows how long it will take to actually feel one in hand

really all sim unlocked sounds better than on contract i always import sim-free and no where usually want to sell new handset sim free unlocked and unbranded which is frustrating otherwise id probably have one in my hands already.
i guess htc must just want to get it out there as a sort of advertisement for the product, to get people stuck on never ending waiting lists lol
@v6kgang - well all i can say is that the phone was supposed to release in Nov thru vodafone not bundled or sumthin may be for the launch of 3G but as vodafone 3G is delayed till next year so i think it will be available from local dealers. Since vodafone guys have no clue i managed to get hold of the official distributor for htc devices in kolkata he is saying that the phone shud be here soon but not willing to give definate dates. but he said one thing for sure the phone is definately coming nd pretty soon. So i have my fingers crossed that the 10th dec date is proper info ...
@Noobdeagle - v6kgang is correct there are jbarely 5% of the phones which are branded but they are mostly low end basic phones.
@Noobdeagle - LOL...was thinking about the same thing...they are not able to keep the promise in europe for timely delivery...They just want to add Asian customers as well to the waiting list i guess...
@gaurav - Knew it mate...u can never trust these guys...i still remember iphone came after 2 years to india on contract and is still being sold at around 30K. If it is sold through retailers the price would be un-imaginable...should well cross the 34K mark...lets keep our fingers crossed

I got news that DHD will be launched after December 28. And pricing is the issue for not launching now.
I'm waiting for the mobile to get released officially , even thought the grey market price is 33k in bangalore.. Hope so the wait is worth it..
hey guys got confirmed news from source in kolkata that the phone is coming next week by 22nd or 23rd which means next week. well i think that means the price tussle between the distributors nd htc is over. THANK GOD FOR THAT .. well the price still seems to be 30k+.... but still i have my fingers crossed nd hope htc follows the schedule this time.

Buying a non working Desire

Hey guys,
Quick question: is £42 (around $67) a good deal for an apparently dead HTC Desire?
Thanks,

I don't know much about the phone, other than it won't turn on. But a friend is offering to sell me one, and as an Android geek, I was immediately interested

Xperia Play update to 2.3.4 - availability.

Do all of you here already got the 2.3.4 update for xperia play? can you please answer yes or no. then if yes, the location. thanks.
october is almost finished and se didn't roll 2.3.4 for xperia play out here in ph.
From Sweden. No. My phone was imported from NL though.
I flashed 2.3.4 with FlashTool and then rooted. Works like a charm. Much less buggy than 2.3.3.
White play here locked to o2 uk nothin here yet still on 2.3.3
bought sim free play, using a o2 sim, got the 2.3.4 update yesterday
I've got it
I have White Xperia Play locked to o2 and I Installed it this morning after getting a message about new update threw PC Companion. yet there's not much changes done to it. to be honest apart from the facebook update no extra features really

Changes I've noticed:
-Much better battery life. Standby time specially.
-Different folder icons, with previews
-Timescape stopped temp freezing for me, which it did a lot in 2.3.3
-Nice new smooth screen-off/on animation
-Finally you can turn off the auto adjustment of the screen brightness!!
-You can now take a screenshot when holding down the power button
-Supposedly the "pressing back button triggers multiple times bug" has been fixed
Overall I'm getting a much better experience with 2.3.4.
oh i see. so i see u.k then. its a million miles away here in Philippines. I bet it is following Magellan's route or maybe. It is temporarily resting in Iceland. What an update.

Spain doesn't have it yet, so you can scratch that possibility
In Mexico released the update this day, through pc companion, still no OTA update

who knows, You, Spaniards will get it sooner than Us, Filipinos. haha. Magellan 2.3.4 is arriving! Lol
French SIM-free version updated thru PC Companion, OTA upgrade said I was allready up-to-date... x.x
So what about the US of A?
I have my imported Canadian R800a and I'm 2.3.4-less.
I used PC Companion , I would not trust OTA.

Did they just release it in Mexico? Last night I was reading some Sony Ericsson Mexico comments on facebook and the rep was saying we'd get it on November (and I added a couple of months for the carrier bloatware).
I'd try but I don't want to loose my PSXperia games I guess I can hook it up and check for update (without really updating) just to confirm here.
Edit: it says I'm up to date on 2.3.3, we didn't even get the 4.0 update either.

Ok, I'm from Mexico and my phone is Telcel, but I put the U.S. firmware by wotanserver, maybe this is why I was able to update, now I'm on 2.3.4 with root, and still does not prove my freexperia games

Hi! im also from the Philippines and im also using Xperia play (just last week, got it from sulit.com )
anyway, there's already a 2.3.4 firmware, check out the development threads,
after that you can use DoomLord's kernel for better use and clocks.
You can just delete the removable bloatware (there's also a thread like this I think)
after,
Enjoy your play!
Yes Sri Lanka. BTW is there any improvement on the camara side? Cz I got No 3d panorama or HD video

Cool. I will look into that. Phil here too.

[Q] hTC One X didn`t get the 4.2.2 OTA update.

Hi guys,
Didn`t see this topic being discussed, so I hope I`m not being redundant.
I`ve got a colleague(a chick, extreeeeeemly hot! ) who has a One X(I have one as well, bought them at pretty much the same time, different stores), and she still didn`t get the official 4.2.2 OTA update. I got the update on my One X on August 19th 2013. Both phones are on the same carrier(Orange), bought from the same country(Romania). Her phone is not rooted, nor has it ever been.
Any ideas why she doesn`t get the update?
Would really appreciate your help, and/or pointers!

Google didn`t help this time!
Many thanks!

Well they most likely have different CID-s and therefore they get the update at different times...
Your CID is a WWE one since only WWE CIDs and SOME carrier CIDs got the update.
Other CIDs will soon follow, so just be patient.
You will get it.
Probably different CID
