I rang Orange Uk, as my phone keeps sending the incoming calls to the voicemail even when its on 3G, and after 30 minutes arguing with an ignorant woman who said that that was happening cos my phone was unlock by a third party and not by Orange, I managed to talk with a supervisor and he said that Htc is about to release an update on the 2nd of June that will resolved many issues on the new Desires and if after that release my phone is still not working he will give me a new one.(sure...)
I doubt the "new update" will clear my problem as i find out is hardware problem rather than a software problem,BUT What kind update is HTC about to release? was the Supervisor taken the mickey out of me?? Dont know, just wanna share the info with you guys in case its true
BUT What kind update is HTC about to release?

This rumour keeps getting earlier and earlier.. The official HTC statement was any time up to December this year for the Froyo update.

With that said, Google also announced Gingerbread would be released around christmas.
It's not froyo.
HTC just released an update on Vodafone UK, too. Apparently it fixed the facebook/unknown contact issue, as well as a couple of other problems.
This is most likely a network specific update, containing the same bug fixes.

Yep, picked this one up myself yesterday. An update a few days later from Orange, it's likely the same one
Any major changes? I'm on Meteor in Ireland so I haven't got it.
I read that they've added a high quality option in the HTC Flash player. Anything else?
just an update to fix bugs, is not that hard hard to understand huh?
Damn... maybe I should have stayed with my Orange ROM afterall? I don't dare flash a radio at this stage what with all the talk of USB bricking...
I keep reading this term - radio. Can someone explain?

Think of them as driver packages for the phones internal transmitters (Cellular, Wifi, bluetooth etc.)
The latest Desire radio (.16 iirc) apparently gives better HSDPA signal and battery life
A concern
Im actually a little worried about my new desire... The thing is that its branded by orange and im not using it on orange, infact not even in UK...so i was wondering that would i be able to receive OTA?
Secondly Ive realized that ive made a big mistake getting an Orange branded phone with all the bloatware..So if i install a custom rom or even the stock HTC rom..will i be able to get the OTA?
Thanks.
I have a new htc evo 4g and i bought my phone on the 31st from at best buy. His dumbass installed the new 2.2 update with the new baseband and now my phones flash player isnt working. My friend has a unrooted evo with the 10.1 flash player on his phone and it works fine. So i want to downgrade my baseband and rom to the ota that was released before sprint released the 2.2 update so i can root. Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance !

First, wrong section. You may want to have a mod switch it before all those angry people come in here with torches and pitchforks Anyways, currently there is no way to downgrade. Until a root exploit is found in 2.2, there won't be. That said, you should be able to get Flash player runnning by factory resetting the phone. A lot of people had some issues with flash originally, but factory resetting seems to help a lot.
Weird that someone would flash 2.2 for you, since its not actually official yet, you may want to go back to the store and talk to a manager about inappropriate conduct. That's not an official update and they never should have done it, even with your permission.

Hey I was just wondering if there was a way to download a multi gig file such as a movie on the HTC Evo. I have been able to download a couple avi movies on the evo, but when I tried to do it with a 8.75 gig movie it wouldn't download it. I was hoping a dev could take a look and see why. I wad on WiFi when trying to download so I ruled out the possibility the network rejected it. Could someone help me ? Thanks in advance.

Is this a different evo than the one you were using on 7/25? Lol.
Nice try blaming it on best buy.

Yes of course we need this option and when the official is released by Sprint then the delv will start
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
No this is not the same evo i had on 7/25. My girlfriend dropped my last one in the bathtub. I wasnt to happy to say the least. I had to wait about two weeks to get a new one. I have not tried to reset it but i will. My phone had the update notification when we first activated the phone. Thats how i got 2.2 before most people did. So i am not ragging on best buy.
I'm gonna call BS on this 1, I seriously doubt that a Bestbuy employee found the leaked OS and downloaded it and renamed it update.zip and then hooked your phone to a computer and went through all that BS to update your phone to a unofficial OS
BTW I'm sure the devs are not gonna feel sorry for your lame BS story and start working on a fix, I my self installed the leak just like you did and am gonna have to wait for HTC to bail us out
Why would the updatebe available when it wasn't even released yet?

Hang on, guys. Wasn't the FIRST OTA released last week on the 29th? The "unofficial" one? It wasn't sending notifications, but some users were able to manually apply it by going to Software Update and checking for it. Heck, there were dozens of posts from users here that got it right out of the gates. Poor souls.
I recently got a new evo due to a replacement and like many other folks I'm stuck unrooted with 2.3.3. It came with the 4.22 update instead of the 4.24 update. So should I stay with 4.22 or upgrade to 4.24?

if it is best buy. do your best to get a new one. lol.
but anyway.... I personally wouldn't upgrade UNLESS you use the compass and other reasons why they came out with the patch. lol. but then again, no one is working on trying to root 22. they are only working on 24..
I personally would have made my own OTA update for 24 that would have included root on it. :-D because you know you can actually do that. :-D

How do you know this? I only ask because I'm on 22 and not upgrading because I don't know which version will eventually be rooted. However, if I can upgrade to 24 and the phantom VM issue goes away, I might be able to convince my dad to trade evo's with me....because he's on froyo...

I don't have any inside info on this but logically working on 24 makes more sense. People on 22 can get to 24 for a root but some one on 24 can't get to 22. So it will help every one for them to find a root for 24 and just some for 22.
My buddy has the dinc and it is stock and he does not want it rooted at all but when i connect it to wifi it won't find the OTA is just keeps saying he's up to date and its on 2.2 anyone have any ideas?
They roll out these updates in batches. More than likely your buddy just isn't in any of the groups that have rolled out so far. Verizon does this so their servers aren't always clogged with people trying to download.
My girlfriend is in the same boat. Just be patient.

I don't know if VZW does this but my brother is on T-Mobile. He went to the store and they updated his phone there by plugging it in and updating it. Might want to ask them.

I called Verizon last weekend because my wife's stock non rooted dinc hadn't received the update - they talked to an engineer who said they were still going out, and that they didn't have a timeline for completion. That was 8 days ago and we are still waiting. The good that's come of this is that I'm actually considering getting s-off on her phone just so when we sell them next April hers will be worth more.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Does anyone else get the sense that Verizon has stopped updates in the last few days? I'm probably wrong, but it doesn't seem like there have been any word on the update still going out. I wonder if it was halted because of some of the issues that were found (such as wrong screen size and the Sprint error).
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another OTA (version 4 perhaps) rolled out in another month or so to correct those issues -- and maybe then the update will reach everyone.

I'm new to the tablet game but have been rooting and installing custom roms on my Android phones for some time now. My question is will I automatically get the ICS OTA or do I have to downgrade to Gen 1. I'm currently running:
Android 3.2
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Build number Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Good question. I had a Gen 2 running 3.2 also, and I was NEVER able to get a single thing OTA.(no update from 12/11-4/12 then I gave up) I called Acer and they suggested I send my device in so they could update it. After a while I just started using the leaks. Cool device, well priced, but they are lame about firmware.
Also if you want to upgrade you can without going to Gen1. At least I did. I went from 3.2 Gen2 directly to ICS .012 then to FlexReaper which is now based on the current ICS
My a100 just went thru the gen2 and ICS upgrades in about a half hour...It's rooted but had the out of the box rom before this evening.

Yea some people have gotten them on Gen2. But Gen2 has always seemed to have issues getting updates. low priority maybe
my A100 is exactly like yours, running:
Android 3.2

I didn't do ROM flashing, the only thing I did is root. I haven't got OTA either. Anyone know what's happening?
I have gen2 3.2.1 and I haven't received mine either. I know that someone else who has the same version received his update already. So I don't know what's going on.

I own A100 from 11/11, I never got any OTA updates.. till date..
I thought ICS is the first OTA for A100 with 3.2......are there other updates I should hv gotten???
Mine is running 3.2.1 Acer_A100_2.008.03_PA_CA and all mine keeps saying is the system is up to date. Mine is also a gen2. I was running ICS leak .014 and went.back to HC.

It seems to be mostly GEN2 3.2 owners that are having the issue (perhaps from that monster Black Friday deal they had? That's when the wife got mine for me).
As a previous poster said, I got sick of never seeing updates, and started using the updates from here. I went to the RC03 ICS update last night after getting sick of waiting. I'll mess around a bit more with it this morning, and see if I can get it to OTA. Got a buncha stock ROMs downloaded, and a spare micro-SD that I don't mind formatting over and over. ;-)

Ok, downgraded from the RC03 ICS update to the baseline GEN1 that Vache posted. No OTA update, checking for updates resulted in "Poor Network coverage" (I'm in the room with my wireless router, browser/market work fine).
Then went up to 2.007.01 GEN2 update, same thing.
Now on 2.007.04 GEN1, and getting the same thing. Thinking i either borked the radio somehow, or that Acers update servers are down.

On gen2.
No update,and network coverage is poor,so wont allow to check for update.
Hopefully its server side problem.

My A100 is exact same version as yours and I got it on black Friday too... i never got a single ota till date... can't believe the batch they sold on sale would hv issues or lower priority...
In Acer forums there are lot of folks with the same story... gen2, with 3.2 and got around black Friday sale... many of them gave up and went with leaked official version...
Some contacted Acer support and they were told Gen 2 with 3.2 is scheduled to get updates late Friday and it may go up this Mon/Tuesday.
As of now I get network error if I check for updates.. I guess Acer servers are either down or overwhelmed ....
I will wait till tuesday .. and take my chance with leaked officlal version... there a lots of helpful folks in xda... I guess I'll be fine...
Acer A100 OTA update error
I am also receiving the Poor Network coverage message and my router is located in the room with me as well so I thought there was something wrong with my internet connection so reset everything and still received the Poor Network coverage then started doing some digging and found this tread. I am on the ICS .14 leak. Thank you all for your post.
Why does it matter to get the OTA? Its the same ROM as the one in our dev section just install that.
