Had the long awaited message pop up on my HD7 and Zune last night about the new update.
Proceeded to update on Zune then had an error message come up saying not enough space on my C drive on PC, needed MB but cleared 6GB. Restarted phone & PC but wouldn't continue.
Downloaded a fresh copy of Zune to another PC thats never had it. Ran it, found the update then Zune wanted to update itself after only downloading a new copy minutes ago.
Fine, started the update - 10 steps.
Got stuck on step 6 (i think, was phone reboot) and had message on phone saying connect to PC but was already connected.
OK, unplugged phone and started the whole process again. I have used around MB of space on phone so backup took some time.
Worked well through all steps, about 1+ hour.
Restarted phone, looked OK briefly but was very VERY slow and apps wouldn't open. Ages to go from one screen to another.
Got really frustrated as tiles weren't working either. Total [email protected] up.
Tried soft resets, no joy.
2am in the morning and need phone for work the next day.
SIM & battery out, no good.
Then, I noticed it had changed the time / date to 1980 (all my contacts / emails / content was all intact after update and didn't need to restore from backup).
Changed date manually to todays date and autodate didn't work.
Restarted phone and hey presto, all works fine now.
- Cut & Paste OK.
- Haven't noticed any speed improvements
- Feature on calendar - click on appointment and there is a button called LATE. Give you the option to SMS / Email organiser or attendees if you are running late. Nice touch.
- Changes in wi-fi
Anyone came across the above or any new features?

Yeah, I had that weird time and date problem, it seemed to push my date a week forward and set the time completely wrong. I also had to set these manually to fix it. Not sure why this happened but now some of my texts are out of order after sending and receiving a few message before noticing the wrong date, really annoying. But it is only a small problem so I suppose its not too bad.
I had the same issue when I applied the update via the Hungarian PPTP thing. Today I tried to do a rollback which sadly ****ed up my entire device. So I had to flash a stock ROM. After that was completed, I immediately recieved the update messages for february and march. Date worked fine and even the gradient issue was gone.

Hi, Had to hard reset my desire this AM due to the sense going into a loop of force closing, think it may have been something to do with updating one of my apps. Got everything back to normal now except that any entries in the calendar appear seem to be 1 hour ahead of where they should be...On the PC the app't may start at 18:00 & finish at 20:00 but on the Desire, it says 19:00 & 21:00...this is for ALL entries (being 1 hour ahead of the actual app't). I have the time zone set for London / Dublin +1:00 as I'm in the UK...any ideas you braniacs?
Summer time maybe?
Thought about that & checked everything on my pc but that's all set up as it ought to be...I notice somebody else on here is having the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669718
ta for looking in though.
Anyone resolved this?
Time shifted back an hour in UK at weekend. My phone is configured to 'use network time'.
Looking at it now, at 15:12pm, the phone shows 15:12pm accurately, my PC shows 15:12pm, but calendar items synced from my PC to my phone are showing the wrong time in my phone.
For example, I have a recurring appointment at 4pm every Monday, but at 2:55pm today, my phone gave me my '5 minute reminder'. That appointment is still showing correctly at 4pm on my PC.
As far as I can tell, Google Calendar items are displaying accurately, and calendar entries created SINCE the time change on my PC sync to the correct time fine.
Any ideas on how to resolve this, I surely *can't* be having to remove and re-add all my meetings everytime the time changes??
Hello everyone,
I have a stock, unrooted Desire which has been upgraded to the official Gingerbread ROM released by HTC some months back and up to the day before yesterday was working fine.
Wednesday around 12:00 pm UTC+2 time, the phone started to show the com.htc.bgp error message on anything concerning weather (including the calender). My initial thoughts were that the device needed a clean factory install, so I erased the user data through the down volume/power procedure and then did a clean factory install from the SD menu, also adding my Gmail account info. After syncing with Gmail, the phone immediately showed the com.htc.bgp error message, so I went ahead and opened a new Gmail account thinking that my account might be corrupt... same procedure as before with the same error message.
Since I didn't have time to check anything else out, I left the phone fully restored with my original account and the error message popping up every 10 to 15 minutes till yesterday afternoon when the phone started to sync the weather correctly.
Till then, I've noticed a significant increase in speed (this compared to before the problems started), and although I'm not too sure on this one, the stock clock/weather widget on the home screen now does full screen animation of the weather; I don't recall ever having seen this on the Desire, just my old HD2 with win 6.5. Also just noticed another significant change... battery life is definitely much better than before.
My thoughts on the problems of the following days are that the network (possibly weather servers) was misbehaving and that there could have been a (silent?) OTA update of the stock Gingerbread Desire, possibly to disable the info gathering apps I've been hearing about in the past months.
Awaiting on your comments/ideas.

There was a problem with the weather api on HTC part.
Nothing serios. It's back to normal now.
LE: you didn't have to reset the phone, it was working ok.
Of course the phone worked better/faster after a reset, the memory and space was free of all the apps/settings you had.
If you format your pc now, you'll observe an improvement in speed/performance because you don't have a gazillion apps installed.
Thanks for the info!
The increase in speed is still visible even after I installed all the apps that I use (a handful actually). I'm really frugal with installed apps, having the absolute minimum for my work.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I've been looking around this forum ever since I got my phone last year. It's always been helpful. Now, I am looking for more help.
I live in Toronto and my carrier is Rogers. I have the AT&T LG G3 D850 unlocked. I bought it second hand on eBay. The first thing I did when I got it was did a factory reset.
The first problem I noticed when I first got it was that the contacts list duplicated every time I opened it. I think it might be copying the contacts from my SIM card each time I opened the contacts? I don't know. I soon downloaded an app (Contacts+) to call people. Another reason was because every time I opened my contacts, the AT&T address book popped up. It didn't create much problem, but it was a very annoying. I soon just got used to using Contacts+.
The phone hasn't given me much problem since until recently. I realized I had no idea how to update my android version. It is still running 4.4.2. I did a bit of research and the words "rooting" and "flashing" got my head spinning. I tried to understand myself, but I just don't understand how to update my android or if I even can.
The thing that made me realized that this is a problem that I can't live with is my phone calls and text messages are causing problems. It's getting harder to open to my messages. It loads a long time and sometimes freezes. Sam with my calls. Dialing out or receiving causes my phone to freeze up. Sometimes waiting works. Sometimes I need to restart my phone. Sometimes I have to wait a bit to be able to restart my phone. I am getting popups when I browse the internet, so maybe I got a virus? I do have AVG and Avast on my phone though.
Then there are the few more minor things. My camera seems to take lower quality pictures as compared to when I first got it. My screen seems to be getting less responsive and seems to be dimmer. Phone seems to be warmer than before, but that could just be me. Android File Transfer no longer seems to work, but I assume it has something to do with my calls and messages not working.
What I am asking for is some knowledgeable and patient people to help me optimize my phone. I really don't know where to start. Reading newbie tips get me more confused sometimes. Please help. If this is not the place for this, please move it there or please let me know to delete it. Thanks in advance.
For the contacts problem, you can go to contacts > settings > display options > and then select the contacts you want to be displayed so there aren't any duplicates left.
Also installing two antivirus programs will cause malfunctioning on the phone. So if I were you I should uninstall one of them. If it keeps running slow you should factory reset the phone and try again
You should be able to go into software updates and click update device. It should show several firmware updates because 4.4.2 was quite a while ago. Have a look for that option.
There is no need to root in order to update your phone. Just follow these steps and it will do it all automatically.
If you go to settings, and you stock can get the updates, The easiest way to get your phone updated its using a pc and install the LG suite. You will connect the phone and if detected it will pop the updates.

First time on here so please be gentle with a Newbie
Up until yesterday my Lumia 930 running windows 10 was working brilliantly.
I switched on today and received notifications of new mail messages. When I tried to use email from the live tile, mail opens momentarily then closes instantaneously, the same happens with calendar. No matter what method I use to open email, it’s the same.
I checked my apps list and it shows Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar 16006.11001.20083.0 was updated today.
Any ideas please, I don’t really want to have to a factory reset all over aging as I did a couple of months back, it take so long and I always loos e something along the way.
Any useful advice greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue and a reset caused the exact issue you describe. First the update occurred Monday or Tuesday of last week. Then after a couple days noticed I wasn't getting text messages which was odd. Then noticed my sound notification went off as a text came in but when I opened the messaging app could see nothing in there. Next one that came in I had the phone in hand at time of text and saw whom it was from and was able to search that person and see their text - tough way to run a business!!! A quick search found similar issue back in 2016 and only fix was a reset.
Once I ran the reset I have not been able to use outlook or outlook calendar they open and close within seconds never actually launching. I performed 3 resets since Wednesday and could not get outlook to work or my contact list to load. this morning I reverted back to windows 8.1 and for now though I can no longer get any OS updates thanks to MS stellar customer appreciation initiative (Use our product then discontinue the product line). But I can use the phone with my email, texts and phone again for the first time this week. Soon as my VZW contract is over I am ditching VZW and Windows phone and going back to android.
Sorry I have no real solution for you. I may try to re-image again with windows 10 to see if I can get outlook to work again, but I would suggest finding a 3rd party email client you can install.
Anyone else have calendar events not showing up? I have an event scheduled everyday that isnt showing a notification. I’ve looked at the usual stuff, notifications are on for calendar, etc....I have an iPad that’s also connected to the same gooogle calendar and they come through fine on it everyday. Anyone have any insight?
Is there an alert added to the calender entry? Like 10 minutes before?
Thanks for replying. There is an alert set,...it was for 10 minutes before, that didn’t work so I changed it to at the time of event, and that didn’t work. I read somewhere that it was because of the last update, so I uninstalled the update and it worked this morning. I’m going to give it a few more days to see if it still works and if so I know a calendar update came out yesterday so I’ll update to that and hopefully I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

I used to have problems with my calendar not firing alerts or just firing late on previous phones. Then I found an app on GPS called Events Notifier For Calendar (by RYO Software.) There is an XDA thread somewhere about it. I've been using it on my last three phones including this one and I feel it is indispensable! (As for the GPS rating, my guess is user error for most of people's complaints.) But it has never failed me and the developer is extremely helpful. It's probably one of the first 5 apps I now install on every new phone.
