Develop Bugs

FYI: New OTA firmware

I just did a software update check, and it came up with a new OTA firmware. It's also listed on the HTC support site.

yup - it's here too.... updating now.
Let's see what it do

Screenshots of versions when it completes would be nice.
Wonder if theres a new radio.
edit: from a post below:
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
2.6.32.15
2.10.405.2

downloading as we speak... Damnit! well, its not gingerbread..

The RUU has been out for a while, been running it over a week now...doesn't do a lot but you now get the voice mic on the keyboard and new radio (well, old but new to stock WWE ROMs)

I'm very disappointed
They still haven't fixed the AAC (he-aac v2) bug. What's the problem with implementing the patch google have released HTC???? I guess I have to delete my whole music collection and re-encode into ogg instead.
Talk about multimedia phone!
Also peep is messed up again, to bad since it worked fine in 2.2 since twitter fixed the bug since apparently HTC was to lazy to try themselves.
It seems I'll be getting a Samsung device next time...
*** EDIT *** Forget about the peep issue, it started to work after a few sync tries but the music issue is there and that's what bugs me the most...

Any consensus on the new(ish) radio?

Seems to work fine, it's been out a while anyway

has someone extracted the new radio yet?

It's not new, it's been in the radio thread for ages, see my signature for version
It's here anyway (link from the radio thread)

Good luck with that one! The Galaxy S issues (GPS, lag etc) seem far worse than the Desire's. I'm sure these things will be fixed, but then again I'm sure your AAC issue will too - eventually!

Any issues for Orange users who have unbranded their Desires?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Just installed it in 5 minutes.. my phones seems a little bit zippier then before.. dont know what the android patch is.. but it seems ok !

I become a signature error with my rooted Desired (rooted with unrevoked).
Any ideas?

Maybe with a rooted device you need to use the RUU version, but you loose the root

If you were branded first you'll need your gold card

Did anyone encounter wifi problems after the update? On my device I get I can't enable it anymore. Reboot doesn't solve the problem.

no wi-fi problema on my device. Maybe you need to remove a not compatible app or make a hard reset

ROM updates for Samsung Taylor SGH-i707?

So I'm wondering about this phone a friend offered to sell to me. It's a Samsung Taylor developer phone, so I have no idea which forum this goes into.
Will I be able to get software updates to the phone at all? Because right now the phone comes with the prototype ROM, so it can't record 720P. The camera is crap, some things like Facebook and Twitter don't work all the way. The marketplace isn't there. Its not stolen property because he is an independent developer and he says the phone served its purpose and he moved on to actual Win7 phones.
Any opinions? I asked my friend and he says he never tried looking for updated ROMs and he stopped using them after he got a focus.

connect it to zune and look for updates , there are beta updates for that phone (actually with a higher build number and copy/past) so I would say yes there are updates for .

I have a German Vodafone Optimus 7 that was used a couple of months by a software developer. I don't think it's running the latest (stable) build of WP7 however. When I check for updates with Zune it says that I'm up to date and the current version is: 7.0 (6536). Is this the latest version that every WP7 device is running? And if not, how come that my device doesn't get any updates?
Btw, Marketplace etc. just work fine on the device.

that is not a developer phone but a pre release , only the Samsung Taylor is a developer phone (and get beta updates )
you have to wait for the official update in 2011.

The LG Panther was a developer phone too I believe. Thanks for your reply, I'll be waiting for the january update just lik everyone else then

thanks , didn't know of the LG Panther .
ps, the latest official build is 7004.

In theory, the Taylor and Panther have updates to build 7003/7004, and they are available on the net (or if you ask the right friendly WP7 dev).
If you plug the device in to Zune, it should search for an update to 7003, though that might not happen.
73XX and above do also exist for the Taylor/Panther, but they're a lot harder to come by, and won't be coming out via Zune any time soon.
In theory, a dev device running 7003 will be able to do anything a release device running the same build (they wouldn't be much use as developer phones if they behaved differently) so I think updating the device should fix the issues you've got, though it'll never do 720p video, and the camera is terrible!

i dont think my friend's is even running the release. the market doesnt work and the live integration is blank. so if i have him get the update, basically i can upgrade it? awesome.

That sounds like an older build then, those are both working on the Taylor/Panther I've got.
Let me know if you need help finding an update.

I don´t know why but I have ROM 7006 installed on my Samsung Taylor, so diff packages from 7004 to 7008 won´t work. Asked lots of devs and MSFTies an no one seems to have ROM 7004 for the Taylor.
Any help?

I've tried from 7003 and failed.

I tried it with ROM 7006 and it also failed.

At what point is it failing?
Are you absolutely sure you're using the correct "ChevronWP7.Updater"?
The download link was pulled some time ago, so if you downloaded anything off of Chris's blog, it was the wrong updater.
Edit: I would post a link to the correct one, but all the mirrors were on megaupload...which is now gone

So, it may be fake... I received Sammy Taylor at August, 2010 and installed all updates MS sent to registered developers/partners but never heard about Taylor on 7004.

In my case, it fails when applying the diff packages, since they are all 7004-7008, adn my rom is 7006.
I have try to find info about the links to 7006-7008 packages with no success so far.

My Experience Upgrade to ICS - Acer_AV041_A100_1.017.00_PA_CA

I'm posting this because I didn't see anybody with this build yet...
Okay, so here is my story, like most of you, I was pretty frustrated that my stock build wasn't getting ICS, I was running 2.007.04_EMEA_GB. First off I wasn't sure if the EMEA_GB version is designed for Canada (since I bought my A100 off of someone from Craigslist). I took many backups of my system by using the DD commands before trying the leaked versions of ICS that were posted by Vache, starting in March. When 14 was out, I loaded it up but really didn't think it was the "official" firmware, as there were still a few lingering issues with the ICS build, so I went back to HC (using the Gen2 HC full update package) rooted it, then and reimaged all of the partitions with the old DD images I kept from the original firmware that shipped with my device.
ICS was supposed to have been released yesterday, and I had in my mind from March that I was going to have ICS from Acer as my birthday present... and Today is my birthday (haha) so I had to make it happen! I didn't want that v14 on there, and I had read in a different thread that an A100 actually had a build 15 on it, which sort of verified hypothesis that v14 might not be the official firmware, so I went ahead and flashed the original GEN1 stock Honeycomb rom, Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1 : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=109 .
Once that was flashed, (with a data reset) I immediatley tried to run an update check but it told me that the device was up to date (haha what a lie). Since this was about 2am and I was supposed to be sleeping, I let it sit for about an hour before trying the update check again. The device had 4 updates in total, after the second update, it changed to a PA_CA release, then before the 4th update came in, the update wizard warned me that Kobo and Adobe Flash wasn't part of the system, but could be downloaded. I figured this was the ICS update, and I wasn't wrong. Once everything was done updating (at about 3:30, the Acer update servers were really fast at that point LOL) I checked the system version and found that I was on v17_PA_CA. Attached is my screenshot.
After running this version for ~8 hours, I havent had any freezing, menu transitions are very smooth, no touchscreen bugs yet either. This build feels like it is a perfect match for my hardware. Also, it looks like the battery life is better, but only time will tell on it.
I have attached a screenshot of the build that I'm on as well, just in case anyone has any questions. It's really possible that since I used the original firmware that it checked in to the acer servers as a new device and it should send me all the updates in one shot.

I was on 3.2.1 COM_GEN2, and couldn't upgrade, so went back to 3.2 GEN1 from there going a similar path as you did: 4 updates, and the last being PA_CA. I that time I though "almost there", but found I no longer have spanish language as an option
My first impression: ICS is faster and better looking. But,
Do you know where can I download a language patch to it?

Hehe cool, when it comes to phones, I need a keyboard, so I actually picked up a bell Moto xt860 and unlocked it. I might be stuck with this one for a while since I hear keyboard android phones don't sell as well as blackberries up here. We will see what happens to RIM...
My other goal is not to sign another contract again, and I have a really sweet deal with Rogers now also...

It really looks like PA_CA is geared towards Canada, with only English, French and Chineese (simplified and traditional). I don't know another way of pulling another language, unless you can grab them from the WW 014 package somehow... let me look at it

This is the third post today I have read someone say that the build 14 is not official. I have myself and numerous other people received this update OTA from Acer. Unless Acer is beta testing on our devices, you can't call it anything but official. It is the exact same rom ZN posted.

Facebook through mobile data issue + OTA problems

Good evening,
I'm having an issue with my international D855 6SW (version 20h) when using facebook through mobile data.
When I open facebook, my news feed loads normally, but when I try to refresh, I receive a popup message saying that I should check my Internet connection. The same happens when I try to open something outside my news feed, like a link to some webpage. Anyone has experienced something like this? What should I do?
And since I've opened a new thread, I would like to know if anyone has an issue with OTA updates. I bought my G3 in August, and it already came with Lollipop 5.0 firmware V20h-EUR-XXX. The problem is that I can't update my phone to the latest firmware (21c on lollipop I think) from the built in update centre since it says that I'm already running the latest firmware available. The same happens when I try to update it through LG PC Suite, and another exe from LG that I can't remember the name at the moment.
Hope you guys can help me with this little issues, so I can enjoy even more this awesome piece of technology!
And by the way, happy New Year to everyone ??
Thank you in advance!

I'm no expert, but the way I think it works is that if your phone's not AT&T branded you won't get the update as they are AT&T version specific. If you want to check for and get any kind of updates you'll probably have to go through Samsung's Kies program.

Sorry, misread on the unlocked part.
I just got lots of updates from the play store, one of which is the new Samsung Browser that is included in 6.0 Marshmallow

Android's April security update tackles another Stagefright flaw
You'll want to update in short order.
Google's monthly Android security updates are nothing new, but its latest release may be particularly important. The new April update tackles eight critical vulnerabilites that include one in the libstagefright library -- you know, the same media framework that recently faced a rash of real and potential exploits. It also patches a nasty kernel flaw that would give attackers full control over your device. You'll get first crack at the fixes if you either have a Nexus device or can install an Android Open Source Project build, but other vendors that offer Google's monthly updates will likely follow suit before long.
Now tell me that i do not need this update!

Relax no one's gonna target you and "hack into your phone" if your worried about stagefirght then you shouldn't rely on att or Samsung for that matter to patch it, consider using a texting app that offers protection instead like textra. Anyway good luck finding that 60mb insignificant update file that no one will bother to upload
Stagefright was patched way before this and even though we just got the update, we still don't have the latest patch
