EDIT: nah cba actually since apparently
We are constantly releasing minor patches to specific countries due to various reasons and cannot comment on all releases. This software in particular is specific software for German market due to a legal issue with the name gmail vs. google mail. For major/global releases always check our official channels for more information.

Ok and come the update in Germany.
Gesendet von meinem R800i

its avaliabe only via wotanserver/seus at mo i think so yes.
yay 666posts

in Germany we do not have the GMail Client.
We don't access our mails through Gmail either - it's allways Googlemail for us (our adresses end in the same Googlemail url.)
It's all the same server etc - but the name's different.
Now i at least know it's due to some strange legal reasons.. guess GMail was taking by something before google cleared it up Oo

Broken ambient light sensor in new fw?
Just installed.
It seems that the Light Sensor (if that was every working as supposed to!) is no longer auto-updating the screen brightness:
In the previous fw when clicking the low/auto brightness widget icon it resulted in either lowest value or an automatically determined one (based on environmental light?).
Now it only goes from lowest to the value set in the Display->Brightness->Slider Value Setting....
Anyone else facing this?

ok i have two questions.
1) will i loose root if i update through wotan server?
2) Will my previously installed user data and apps get wiped?

New HTC widgets?

Have I just noticed these or have 'Notes', 'Tip Calculator' and 'Today in History' appeared under 'Get more HTC Widgets' when you go to add a widget?! Just testing now...I know people mentioned that it was odd that there wasn't a Notepad app built in...looks good!
They have been there a while, the notes widget is great
I keep the note widget up on a screen and already use it regularly
Sorry, guess I'm a little slow, thought I knew most about it by now! Like the notes, shame there's no options to change the tip calc to £, but guess it works the same! Like the today in history too, be better if there was a half size one though.
strange....
That's odd,I just checked my add widgets bit but just get the day in history one which I have had for a while...is this country specific perhaps? I'm in the UK so how do I get the notes etc or are they to be released later perhaps. Those who have it, where in the world are you ?

Have you refreshed?
Well I clicked on add more widgets. Do you mean the refresh all thing by HTC ? Think I mean the sync all...
Oops ignore me ...forgot I had a menu button...just assumed it would update itself being a genius phone lol. Thanks for the post tho,I would have missed out
try updating to the latest rom.
menu - settings - about phone - system software updates - check now.
I have no idea if this will help but I am on t-mobile in UK and I get the new widgets. I think it coincided with the Rom update but not 100% sure.
edit - posted at same time as response. sorry!

I'm in the UK, T-Mobile supplied Desire. Was on 1.15.110.11 when I got it, and haven't seen any updates, been checking manually too. Sure the 'Get more htc widgets' wasn't there before though! Weird!

Missing apps in the Market, this will repeat and forever (April 23, 2010)

UPDATE:
As of April 23, 2010 HTC Desire users can see / buy protected apps from the Android Market !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, this has been discussed again and again.
We have to wait until Google finished finger-printing the phone firmware and added it to the Market. Something like Google should certify the phone firmware to be able to use the Market.
Granted, no problem with that ... if Google can do it very quickly.
But how long???
This will be a long wait ... or VERY LONG WAIT
Take a look from the official Google Android Market forum support:
Even the HTC Legend is still having this issue (which was released earlier)
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=683d89c4f4fd4593&hl=en
After more than 1 month, it is still not fixed !!!
And this is for HTC Hero:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=3529bae358433fcd&hl=en
Started on July 22, 2009 ... Until March 2010 ... Or is it still till now??? Probably on certain firmware from certain mobile operators or whatnot.
I really cannot believe Google screws this great Android platform like this.
Think about the next firmware update, from Google or HTC ... We will AGAIN get this issue ... Then wait again very long.
I am really mad and hate this. The phone is nice, but this? Do I forced to find "elsewhere" (pirated, cracked version of Android apps)?
If one of you guys is capable of writing a good professional article or blog regarding this issue, we could spread the voice all over the internet / twitter / facebook / blogs / news so Google could "end" or "fix" this.
Because this is unacceptable ... will REPEAT (every firmware update) and FOREVER
PS: This is repost from AndroidForums.com by me.
It's staggering really. Particularly like google Earth. I can't get that through the android market!
This should be fixed....
will a rooted desire solve the problem?

I think so, since at that point you can change your phone "ID", so the market thinks it is a nexus/G1/X10 etc etc.
If there si a phone with full access to the market, you change your ID to that one et voilá...
how about changing from a T-Mobile ROM to a generic one?
I'm have a desire with the same issue, running the latest generic firmware. I have to source apps I can't find on the market place elsewhere. There really needs to be more urgency put on the finger printing process by Google!
Think Google have their dummy out as the Nexus isnt doing too well lol
Seriously though. This is bad. The iphone/pod does so well because of the apps. Microsoft are doing so badly because of the apps. Google dont shoot yourself in the foot.
Its sad as I told my mate today that the android just lacks big named titles then I go on cryket and there are some cool titles Gameloft & EA but not found on the marketplace when I search.
Really is a pity we have to wait so long.

Knowing HTC they probably won't release many updates for the Desire anyway, unless they've realised that in order to sell more units they need to provide fixes!

Hahaha, don't be daft now! When do HTC ever really fix issues? Thats why we all love xda so much.
This won't help ... I am using generic one
This issue is silly ... I cant support Android platform by spending money on apps. I want to do this to support Android developers so they will be happy and encouraged to develop more better apps.
If I am a developer, I will be really mad ...
Some apps are in http://www.slideme.org , but not all.

This guy is making work of the market problem. At least for the Legend. So let's hope this will also solve the problem for the Desire.
Otherwise we have to wait for root acces and alter the build.prop file ourselves.

As far as I can gather, he says nothing specifically about the market problem, he's just saying an OTA is underway for the Legend that should fix that phone's specific problems getting apps that need access to the camera.
He says nothing about the missing protected apps, and nothing about the Desire either.
Just got off the phone to HTC:
Apparently there is a ROM update to fix this in the works which will be released in "the next four weeks". She was quite adamant that it wasn't just a Google thing...
I gave her a list of apps that I couldn't download and she said she'd pass it on.
She did say that the more people that call up and report this the better. It then lets HTC know how much pain its causing.
Get calling!
Oh boy ... 4 weeks??? I hope HTC will roll out a very good list of patches!
If it will include "Flash 10.1" with hardware acceleration, then I will forgive them (HTC and Google)
Google IO conference will be on May 19 - 20.
I wrote an article about it as suggested and its up
http://www.rcrwireless.com/article/...121/htc-desire-has-android-marketplace-issues
We should spread this out.
But, why do you only mention "unbranded" ??? Because this issue happen on ALL HTC Desire devices released till today.
And also HTC Legend ... and some HTC Hero still.

Good. Thanks for the article.
But I have one of the first T-mobile Desire's bought direct from T-mobile (1.15.110.11) and I still can't see protected apps like Tapatalk, Google Earth, etc. So the problem isn't restricted to unbranded phones as your article suggests.

Google play denies downloading app

I bought Tivizen WIFI for Samsung device hoping that I'll have no problem using it with my SIII, as I've seen the video on youtube with exact hardware combination working. However it appears that I cannot download the app (normal Tivizen app doesn't recognize the device - I need "Tivizen wifi for Samsung phone" ) from my country. How is store establishing the country (phone location, gmail account, phone operator, ip address). Would it help if someone installs it elsewhere and extracts apk. Is it difficult? What can I do on my side- reinstall?. Seems foolish to abandon the device for software related restrictions.Please help.

This may be of some use to you. Since it's a free app, I'm assuming its OK to post this. If not, please feel free to delete it mods.

Can you download from there?. It asks me for credit card. I might give up on dollar if I knew the link is active. Seems fishy.I have tried other RS links in the thread which are dead,

Is app available in your country? Can apk be extracted once downloaded?. i can emulate country via vyprvpn and register new google account from there but I am wondering is it some phone setting that is tripping the store.
Won't let me install it to my phone. Does not show up on the market at all (on phone) and when found on the online market, it says I have no compatible devices.

Thanks dude for you effort.
Anyone from germany?
Funny I can use PC Application available from their site http://samsung.tivizen.com/ without any restrictions and yet they forbid the use of phone app. I am not trying to use on non compatible device or something illegal - http://samsung.tivizen.com/Kompatible-Geraete.
Anyone from germany with firefox and apk downloader (does not work for me) could you please get this. Would be very thankful.

Is there a more appropriate place to make apk requests? Thanks.
It's not going to work unless you bought the phone from that promotional event.

6. Wo kann ich die IMEI Nummer und Serien Nummer der Samsunggeräte finden, um Tivizen zum Aktionspreis zu erwerben?
Unter der Batterie von Samsung Galaxy Produkten
Does it have to do with this question from the FAQ. To me it looks more like you needed to provide them with you phone's imei to be able to buy the device
Once they've delivered the Tivizen it has no importance (number cannot be used again).
It would mean that no one would be able to download the app unless they come from the verified phone regardless from Germany or not, or every such downloaded APK is related to the phone and checks for specific tivizen SSID?

Weird location related issues with Google play apps

Hello. I have a weird problem. Nowadays I live in Poland and wanted to install some apps, like zalando or olx.pl from Google play market. Sadly, I couldn't do this, coz it said, that it's not allowed in my country. I don't really know, why I get such a message? It's rom fault or maybe something else? Plz help, if there is a fix for it (yes, I know I can install it from anywhere else, but I want it from Google play). ROM Freedom OS, OP3 3003.
Those apps are not available in your country nothing you can do really :crying:

But they are for Poland and I live in Poland, WTF? All my friends have those apps.
Maybe it has something to do with your google account - when you have register for it - what country you were in? I remember somebody was having similar problem.

GWA2 CTJ5 firmware disappeared from changelog pages

Does anyone know why the GWA2 R820 CTJ5 firmware disappeared from Samsung changelog pages (https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R820/KOO/doc.html) since Monday? This is not happening on the Korean firmware only but on other CSCs. Did Samsung notice something (a critical bug perhaps) on its latest firmware and removed it?
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/KOO/SM-R820/version.xml
Seems still online...
Sometimes they play with database... maybe temporary gone...
Only Samsung knows what they are doing... and why...
Best Regards

Thanks! I check this page on a daily basis to see if a new firmware has been released. I also thought at first that they may be editing their db, but it has been 3 days know and I was kind of worried
To check if new Firmware is under development...
MonthS/yearS was use Test Server Link:
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/KOO/SM-R820/version.test.xml
Since few dayS maybe weeks... Samsung made it harder...
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/KOO/SM-R840/version.test.xml
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/KOO/SM-R800/version.test.xml
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/KOO/SM-R500/version.test.xml
They also changed something in QA crap... so I have no more access...
IMHO they interact like angry Ki.s...
Best Regards
