There are users who have flashed to a 'Generic ROM' saying that they have seen an improvement in the battery life. So I was wondering if anyone who has received a Desire from T-mobile (with software above) can comment on battery life.
Since the change logs seem either to be non-existent or vague, I just wanted to know if the latest T-mobile ROM has the same 'fixes' as the generic ROM (with the latest FOTA).
mine came with the latest software on saturday

That's the thing, I dont think they are. People with the new version are those who received the devices more recently and already have the latest one installed.

Thanks...oh yes, I saw your original post.
I hoping for someone who has updates on a higher frequency to compare with my usage (with older revision software)
t mobile
has anyone actually called T - mobile?
I Have latest version, received last Thursday. After a few days the battery life has improved immensely. I had a htc magic before and the battery outlasts that. Probably lasts 25% longer.
I only have one issue and that is that streamed video cuts out after a period - 5 minutes or so. Oh and the weather widget is still a pain in the ar*e
But all in all very impressed. The web browsing is a dream. fast and excellent with pinch and zoom. screen is gorgeous and not a pink tint in sight on mine!
Oh and the fact that there are loads of apps missing on market that I could get with HTC Magic but it seems to be the general consensus on forums that these will become available over next couple of weeks, I do hope so.
well that sucks a tiny bit do they include change logs with these updates or is it all secretive

I have the T-mobile ROM, and my battery life is pretty rubbish. To top it off I find that once it fills up, it doesn't trickle charge, so it looses power even though it's plugged in.
I called up T-mobile about this to see if it was an issue with the software (hoping that they would send me another phone with updated software). The first lady told me there was a software update, sent me a link to the T-mobile website, but the link didn't work. I think she may have been refering to the HTC update, which we can't get.
The second lady I talked to sent me to delivery department, but instead of a new phone, they're sending me another battery. Which is welcome, but if the software update doesn't come soon (and the update actually does improve battery life), then the battery they're sending won't really be good enough for me.
Will give them another ring tomorrow, to either get a date of the update, or a new phone.

go to your dialer and type this *#*#checkin#*#*
you should get a notification after it shows reboot phone and you should get it soon.
Ok, I did that i typed it in the dialer, then restarted my phone, and still nothing, i did that about 10 mins after you posted that, i figured i would let it go the night before i respond. any other suggestions. im considering just rooting but i want to keep getting the otas without any hassle.
I can assure you:
1) If you wait for the OTA you may have to wait even longer to root. If that is something you want to do, it is a moot point otherwise.
2) Be patient, plenty of people haven't received the update.
3) This is the last OS update for the Inc. You will not have another update to look forward to as this phone has been updated twice in its shelf life.

Some people at androidforums.com seem to think the update might have been pulled so Verizon can fix a few issues (like leaving Sprint stuff in the build.prop file). I have no idea if this is true or not, just passing it along.
There are still people on androidforums.com that have not received the ota either.
I haven't heard of anyone getting it for a week or more. I'm guessing at this point they had enough complaints that there's some retooling going on. I'm expecting 605.4 in the form of another patch but it's just my own speculation.
Yesterday got new system update now all my browsers are forcing close all the time anyone else had this problem
I'm not having force close issues but I've had to reboot like three or four times for various reasons. Once every time I would open the browser I would only get an all black screen. And earlier my status bar(or whatever you call that black bar that runs across the whole bottom of the screen) got stuck at half size and unusable after an alert tried to come up. There were a few more issues.
Wonder If Acer Removed Update?
Acer often screws up their updates - has anyone in US received update lately?
Seems like some issues

Just an update on this. This hasn't happened again.
I got the update maybe a few days ago, haven't had any problems with it so far except once when the browser wouldn't open any new tabs, then force closed, but that only happened once, after that it was fine.
no update yet fl
I am still waiting to get the update. I hope it is out soon. I hate the headphone issue i cant use at night while my wife is sleeping and this is y i bought a tab

I wish i could remember how i got around that issue. Did you check around?
The way around it is to play the music/movie without the headphones plugged in. Then, plug them in and the sound will stop playing from the speakers and just the headphones. If you plug them in first, they still play through the speakers.

Happened to me while on a cruise.
There I was grooving to the Best of the Monkeys while reading on the Kindle app bebooping my head.
Yeah I'm that kool
Sounds interesting! Sure hope that I'll get it soon! Does the 3.2.1 update do anything to make the UI more smooth and fluid? After getting an iPad last week, Ive really noticed how choppy the UI in Honeycomb is, and all of the occasional slowdowns a lot more...
I m in canada and hasnt get update yet. Still 3.2 hopefully Acer will put Acer's circle to this update. I m very interesting when using Acer circle in Acer W500 ( touch 5 fingers to screen and it will display ^^)

Acer support told me that Canada should get the update for 3.21 late dec early january.And that update packages are rolled out by region,and schedule is set by Taiwan.
Nor very encouraging as to ICS update then,which they would not comment on

We like to dream
Honestly it makes me so angry. There's so much work that goes into the development of these devices. Can you imagine what it must feel like to pour your heart and soul into engineering & development work, only to have the support folks fail it so hard?
ICS should have been released a week after the sources became available.
The headphone problem should never have made it out of QA. But it also should have been fixed within days of it being reported, and pushed out, worldwide, the moment it passed QA. Instead, this Canadian still has not received it (though I'm applying it manually, right now). It's been months since this problem was reported.
I know no manufacturer is perfect, and there are a lot of products to manage, but this is just irresponsible. Come on, Acer. You're not a charity. We paid good money. Now support your devices.

Hey LASERWOLF, I was wondering something. You think you might be available some time to skype to show me how to root? I'm going to downgrade to 13b some time and was watching your instructions on youtube that you made for rooting but sadly the camera moved around a little too much and wasn't able to see some of the things you did. Not sure how soon I'd be looking at doing it since I'd still need to downgrade to 13b first and then download all necessary files. Do I need ADB? But yeah if you get a chance to skype me and walk me through it I'd appreciate it. I just really don't want to brick the phone beyond repair since I've only had it for 5 days and am into it $400 not including the case the tempered glass screen protector and the first monthly bill lol. And since I got it from ebay you guessed it no warranty Thanks again for your videos. I just suggest getting a tripod like I got with a cellphone holder. Works great when I take night shots of the stars

As for downgrading i wont be able to show that. I dont wont to take the risk to be stuck on mm. As for the video. Sure i can redo the video. I got software now that i can screen record and this time i keep the camera stedy. Sadly i dont have a tripod. I was at the store a few weeks pricing one tho. I let you know when a updated video is up.
As for adb. A file i provided a link to has the adb in it. I check the links later to make sure they work cause i dont know if i am allowed to mirror files that are not mine here on xda

Thanks a lot. I'll keep my eye open for it. And I think the screen recorder will work awesome! Not sure if a walmart is near you. But in the camera section where they have selfie sticks they also have mini tripods with built in phone holders. They are around $9 if that interests you. I already had a tripod so I bought a selfie stick from there that came with a bluetooth remote shutter and just took the phone holder part out of the box and put it on my tripod.

Pixel 6 December Update Situation Just Got Worse
Google confirms it has paused the December update for Pixel 6 lineup due to connectivity bug. When is a fix coming? Not until late January.
www.droid-life.com
And there you have what many had thought! Good old googleeeee
So for the few like myself that got it pushed to my phone on MetroPCS (TMobile), what does that mean? I haven't had any dropped calls but my speeds have been slower and battery has been worse than what I remember with November patch.
According to the post, if you aren’t experiencing issues after the update, no action is required and just rock out until the late January update. Unless you want to factory reset and revert back to the November update.

I doubt if it means anything. You can always flash the November image, although dirty flashing (not wiping), especially when "downgrading" can cause more issues and trouble than it's worth. Hopefully this Monday, January 3rd we'll get the regular monthly update, and if so, your current December version will be superseded anyway. Edit: I missed that the source Google article said fixes would come out in late January, so I'm now not expecting a new update until then or even the first Monday of February.
Im alright without the Dec. update, no issues with mine besides the AOD all of sudden does no respond. Found an an app that took care of that issue plus not notification indicator now
Figures, I already factory reset last week after the December update so I wouldn't want to flash a stock November image at this point. I have some other issues with the phone like the one user posted with lines across the screen on videos but have not been able to get in contact with support. Will try to after the holidays and hope they don't give me the run around.
I'd really like to know where the fault is. The modem or some other partition?
In November, I would drop calls in dead spots. In December I would just lose call audio and have to call that person back.
More fan fair:
Google paused the December Pixel 6 update, but is just admitting to it now
The Google Pixel 6 December 2021 update rolled out to a select few. Now, Google is finally admitting that update's problems.
www.androidauthority.com
Boo Google! What the heck is going on? Late January?
I guess I'll be using my 4 XL one more month then...
I guess Google now knows why Samsung doesn't use their own modems in their phones, especially in the US.
But hey.....look at all these cool animations they introduced in A12
It's a very capable modem but no other phone on the market has it. Samsung hasn't documented any differences from the international S20 or S21. Only thing it doesn't seem to support the moment is VoNR for voice over 5G.
But I've said this previously, Samsung rewrote the modem for December. The blame likely lies with them.
I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
So also on the Dec update and things seemed good until I noticed today that my Amazon apps (Music and Shopping) both appear to be crashing and complaining about either Chrome not being updated (when it IS), and/or no internet connectivity, when both 5G and/or WiFi are available and all other stuff works fine.
Not sure if this is related at all, but this only started today after I tried to install Amazon shopping, now Music and Shopping don't work right.
I had the same problem with Amazon apps. I was able to get them to work by disconnecting my VPN.

Capable as in it can combine 5G signals when most other phones can't or don't have it enabled.
I was worried earlier this year that it couldn't. I should've worried more about all these goodies and even basic call functionality being untested.

Nice, thanks man! Worked perfectly.
Now I did temp disable AdAway earlier and that did not seem to fix it, maybe I did not fully restart the app then, but now its good.
Now on my previous LG V60 I used AdGuard for years and had no issues with Amazon apps, not sure why AdAway would be different?
LOL ... "If you aren’t experiencing issues after the update, no action is required and you’re apparently very fortunate." (Google: "If you are not experiencing mobile connectivity issues, no action is required.") ... not exactly a very solid (software) engineering analysis ...
Apparently I'm one of those "very fortunate" people ... upgraded manually and I have not had any issues at all since the upgrade (4G network in Belgium). On the contrary, since upgraded, phone has been working flawlessly for me.
Hopefully we'll get a bit better explanation than just "we found and fixed the problem".
Happy end of year festivities for all of you ... stay healthy and safe !
