Random Freezing - OTA Update? - Desire General

Hi Peeps,
Since the update the other day I've been getting random freezing on my Desire in that I go to switch the screen on and nothing happens! I have to take the battery out to get it working again. I gave it a hard reset after it happened the second time just in case it had been something I'd done but they've continued happening. It's usually only once a day but has happened twice.
When it happened today I tried calling it while it was in it's frozen state. I got the normal ringing tone on the other phone and eventually it went to voicemail but my Desire did nothing. After pulling the battery and getting it booted up I checked the call logs to see if it had logged anything but nothing was there.
Just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing?
If it happens again I think I'll try and get it replaced via Vodafone.
PS - Stock rom with only ES File Explorer, Gensoid, Goggles, Layer, Navigon and Soltaire installed.

I am having the exact same issue! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Are you guys talking about the 1.19 OTA firmware for Vodafone HTC Desire's?

..i have branded desire,after update,no problem at all ...

With the latest official OTA update from Vodafone (1.19.161.5) I have not had any freezing issues. After performing the Software Update (Home Screen -> Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> System Software Updates ->Check now) it appears that either Vodafone have not authorised the OTA update for 1.21.405.2 or I am not currently on the ugrade list (took 2 days after release date for me to get the 1.19 update).
So which OTA version are you referring to?

Yep, the 1.19.161.5 update. On Voda
not had a freeze today but defo gonna demand a replacement if it does it again.

Haven't had it pushed out, but have done a manual update.
Went on fine.
Looks like us T-Mobile users are gonna have to wait ages.
I wanted to try an update before having the handset swapped for the pink hue issue. ffs
Yep, was notified there was an update available yesterday evening.
Downloaded and installed, can't notice any differences on the front-end, must have done something though!
Just noticed that there is another post RE this -

problem! update hasnt actually updated phone

hey
I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this
Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...
thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?
Didn't look hard did you??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694564
thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem

Update now gone

WTF I checked for the update last week and I saw it on my phone, just as I was going to update I saw there were problems doing the update with a debranded orange phone and decided to wait. I have since seen that updating with a gold card solved most of the problems except for sim locking which is easy to solve with an unlock code. Decided to update today put in my gold card and checked for update and get the message that there is no updates available and my phone is up to date. I'm on software 1.15.405.4 so whats all that about. I don't want to reflash as its a pain to reinstall everything. Looks like I will have to wait for froyo.

T-Mobile pulled the update due to customers experiencing problems with it. Maybe Orange have decided to do the same.
You can just get the ROM from the ROM Dev forum and flash it with your Goldcard and then unlock it
Was the UK Voda one pulled?
I don't think the update is through orange as I have debranded and flashed a generic ROM using a goldcard when I first got the desire around 2 months ago.
I also know of the ROM that is in the dev forum but as explained I am damn lazy and really don't want to have to go through the process of reflashing as I would have to do a backup and set up all my accounts and download all my apps again. That was why I was hoping to do the OTA update with a goldcard so all I would have to do is put in an unlock code.
Prob just gonna have to wait unless someone has the OTA file

[Q] Problem with checking for updates

When I go into Settings / About Phone / System updates, after a brief "Checking for available update" message the phone greets me with this:
Checking for updates is currently not available.
Try again later.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It doesn't say there are no updates, it says checking for them is not possible. Phone has been doing this since I bought it a month ago.
Is this a normal message that everyone else gets when there are no updates? Or should I be worried that my phone will not be able to check for and perform an OTA update for Froyo?
System version: Moto_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.CEE
Carrier: T-Mobile Hungary
I have 2 defys. One running custom ROM and one stock (rooted with custom recovery). The stock one says the same message has yours. I called and asked T-Mo if this would affect me getting 2.2 if/when its released and was told not to worry about it. Not sure what causes it but I'm set up to receive an email notification if/when the upgrade is released so I'll find out then. Sorry I cant tell you why it does it but atleast you know you're not alone.

[Australia] HTC 10 Australian

Hi guys,
I got my HTC 10 last week - phone is a big improvement from the m8.
I am running Telstra's latest firmware - Have s-off already...
Telstra's latest firmware is 1.53.841.6 with Leedroid ROM - have been trying to get VOLTE.
I never got VOLTE with stock because I rooted so fast and S-OFF and installed custom ROMs.
So I had to install stock system image 1.53.841.6, reinstall stock recovery and factory reset and VOLTE icon shows up instantly. Install TWRP and VOLTE remains. But if you install a custom rom and do a full wipe seem to lose VOLTE. Also have to have the telstra firmware to VOLTE to work, I tried with WWE and no go. Also had to ring up telstra as it wasn't activated. So if you are having trouble getting it - might be best to double check. Even though my provisioned flag was on. *#*#4636#*#* to check - tap phone info.
@xlrate reported not wiping data and installing VIPER was able to keep VOLTE. (Updated the customize folder in the rom with my Telstra back up, also the build prop to do this) Also TELST001 cid has to be on.
Has anyone got VOLTE working on a custom ROM on WWE Firmware?
So Aussies... Who's got their new HTC 10?

Telstra OREO update
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....48.841.31_release_519847tp9bagwfkglchg5u.zip
@Sneakyghost isn't doing the firmware updates anymore.
If you need to use the firmware.zip out of the OREO zip and need to a custom recovery either replace the recovery.img with twrp.img (rename it of course) in the firmware.zip - or flash one after installation.
I got mine about a month ago.. All I've done so far is root it.. (even after all these years, it still sounds wrong)
I normally run ARHD, but, Mike hasn't mentioned developing for the 10, so, I'm stuck atm, not really interested in running a massively modded ROM. But, last night the OTA notification popped up for 1.53.841.6.. So, I'm going to have to do something - the notification is annoying me. So, I guess I have to work out how to update it.
I hadn't even considered the VoLTE requirements.. I just assumed it would all work, even on a custom ROM. 4G did, I didn't think this would be any different.
Is VoLTE worth hanging on to? I don't really get it.. Is it like VOIP for mobiles?

I have had VoLTE working with Leedroid after I used the telstra 1.53 system/customize & parts of the build.prop on the 1.30 base... Haven't been able to get it working on 1.80 base.
Have had to use the telstra firmware for it work, doesn't work on WWE. So it is kinda a pain to get working.
VoLTE is better call quality and if you are on a call you can use LTE/4g to use the internet... Without VoLTE when on calls your phone 3g
EDIT - don't think OTA will work since you are rooted unless you went systemless root
I guess I don't 'appreciate' VoLTE as much as I should, because I rarely make phone calls..
Sadly, not Systemless root. So, I think I need to go back to stock, update and re-root. It's not something I've had to worry about before. So, it's kinda frustrating, and a little too complicated for me to totally understand.
I was going to de-brand it, and just run the WWE RUU.. But, maybe I'll wait for the 1.80 Telstra update and worry about it then.
I got rid of the notification

Anyone experiencing an issue with NFC? While on stock 1.21.841.8 (and locked), worked without issue. Since updating to 1.53.841.6 (and unlocked), can't read my Opal card now ie no vibration, no sound, no anything. Haven't tested my tap & pay banking app yet (which did work without issue prior to updating).
Yes I also had and issue with NFC. Would not read opal card and was an absolute pain to try and read my Amex and Visa card.
Ended up getting another issue with it and returned the phone under warranty for NFC and the other issue.
Still waiting to get a phone back ?

Yeah NFC doesn't work with mine now on 1.53.
I did get a vibrate and a sound when I was on earlier firmware but not now.
Just hoping that the 1.8 update fixes this stuff.......

Tried reflashing the 1.53 firmware again (twice) to see if it fixes it, but it's still not working ie Can switch it on and off, but it does not respond to my opal card.
It's only taken Telstra until this month to push out 1.53, so who knows when (or if) 1.80 will happen. Now I'm trying to decide whether it's worth sending back for another handset or waiting to see if the next OTA will fix it. My biggest concern is that the replacement could be on 1.21 and I could possibly end up with the same issue all over again!

I just tried to NFC on 1.53 and it isn't working very well, hardly at all. I got it to work 3 times in about 15 mins...
Previously I think when I was on 1.30 firmware it was working well before but just had to hold it near the head phone jack.
Any Telstra users want to test out the Telstra firmwares

Make sure you back-up the rom & back up internal storage refer to later posts in that thread.
https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Software-Updates-01-07-2016/td-p/585953 Telstra 1.80.841.8 firmware is coming 25-Jul
Leedroid is the best rom for Telstra users. Running it myself and working perfectly, now supports Telstra with carrier support & VoLTE working - thanks @LeeDroid
*Only works on Telstra firmware.
Install Ice yesterday (only got my phone Friday ), really like it over the stock rom.
Some people complained about the LED but I like it. My only complaint about my M8 was how bright the LED was specially in the dark when you're trying to get to sleep.
Another problem I'm having is file transfers freeze when using a USB 2 port on Windows 10.
I like my new M10 but not sure if I like it over the M8 as of yet. I preferred the speaker arrangement on the M8 and having the home, back buttons etc on the screen rather then down the bottom.
I have to admit I'm not a fan of the "Samsung" look at all which is why I bought HTC in the past to begin with. I didn't want to be a part of the flock.
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get the 10 but imported, could someone (especially looking for someone with Optus) check their box to see what specific model it is (e.g. 10h or 10u)?
Thanks guys
The Telstra model is a HTC 10h
ICE (InsertCoin) v2.0.6 supports Telstra also now too. Thanks @baadnewz

Found out that Telstra's policy for DOA/ELF replacements are within 30 days of purchase. Since a return will result in a repair, I'll wait to see if the OTA will fix the NFC issue first before sending back.
Has anyone experienced an NFC issue on Telstra stock, only to have it disappear after switching to a cusom ROM?
