2.3 OTA Update

I'm hearing of some unbranded UK Desires receiving an OTA update to Gingerbread, has anyone else seen this? Nothing on mine yet, and since it's unbranded I imagine it's not a staggered rollout.
Anyone know what's going on, or are my sources false?

I've not heard anything to maybe a fail. I guess if you find HTC's RUU then it will be rolling out soon. About now is when it's rolling out so maybe so.

Well after some checking I can confirm that a desire, possibly on TMob got a system update a couple days ago, but can't confirm whether it was 2.3 or just a pre update of some sort, also not sure if the desire is branded or not.
unfortunately the phone is a work phone that my friend doesn't have currently so can't get any more details at this moment.

Nothing here. Unbranded handset :-(

HTC Official Update
I received the following email today from HTC Customer Care in response to a question as to when they will fix the widely reported Google leak (potential security flaw in Android).
In regards to your last response, in order to to get the security update when it is being issued, you have to have a base of the 2.3 Gingerbread update on your handset, in which case will be released this summer for devices such as HTC Desire.
Currently we do not have a specific date as to when the 2.3 will be released for other handsets as at this time the update is only being issued to HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S.

summer? geeez... I thought it was going to be anytime soon this month... Bit fed up of waiting...

...based on GB leak whose base is buggered. Until we get an official OTA we can't hope for stable GB Sense roms.

Check my sig. I can't say I noticed something actually does not work, which I can say for some other roms people swore are rock stable, but it drains battery and there is obvious lag especially with alternative launchers and animations. That said, I can cope with some lag, but I can't cope with memory leaks, bootloops, ads etc.
So you can't just yet say it is as it is meant to be, but it comes to that this actually works. Not extra smooth, but it does.

[Q] Sky Go

hi guys wonder if you can help have just installed the Sky Go app but it wont load any media then i read "Sky Go is not supported on any Android device that has been rooted" is there away to get it to work
SGS2 with CF-ROOT
cheers

Ah, so that's what that message says. Flashes past so quick I can't read it and then sticks on "loading 1/100".
Would also be very interested in anything the genii of xda can do for us...

mine Just comes up with "Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device. Please see FAQS for more information." think this is because i'm running an ICS rom any way to get round this?

Currently doesn't work on:
1. ICS;
2. anything rooted; and
3. anything that is not a Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible or HTC Sensation
which is ****e really. Hence we are at the mercy of the great and the good of xda to do what Sky couldn't/wouldn't and get this working properly on, primarily, rooted devices and then deal with the other problems.

Flash player performs better on the nexus :(

I just don't know what to say... I have the money in my account and I'm on my iPad ready to purchase the One X but I feel it will be a bad decision. Check out this video comparaison between the one x and the nexus. It's from phonearena, I know they haven't been really fair towards the One x, but flash works WAY better on the nexus than the one x. What are those 2 extra core good for really?

I'm watching this right now.
I already said in the Mega Thread that something was wrong with the flash judging by a video of a flash animation stuttering that caught my eye.
(I think that it was on htc's website)

Can any One X owner confirm how flash runs on their device?

I just tried, and the blizzard site indeed runs like the video.
However, this suprised me, because other sites with flash, such as newgrounds , run perfectly smooth (while running a flash movie that is). Like 60fps smooth, even when zooming and scrolling.
Anyone got more flash heavy sites for me to test?

Stock browser issue perhaps? Is anyone using Dolphin or FireFox?...assuming flash runs on those

Yeah flash works like a dream on mine.. I havent tried the site in the vid, but everything is instant and very smooth

Tried on dolphin, same result.
Once again, only happening on the blizzard site, can't find any other laggy sites. Any suggestions as what to try?
Also, the browser is like the best thing about the one x lol, it's the fastest and smoothes I've ever seen just as a FYI

I've had no problems at all with flash when using the stock browser. But I use chrome mostly so I'm not so fussed.

For one site? I really wouldn't worry then! Thanks for testing..

Hey I ve tried a couple live news stream feeds(flash videos), runs pretty good. It starts out a bit laggy tho but after running in for a minute or so it gets pretty smooth.

Just tried finding the heaviest flash site I could, ended up at http://saizenmedia.com/fubon/
It ran really well on the one x, enuff said.

On my One X using dolphin hd Ive massive issues with every flash video site...
If i try to change into fullscreen mode the browser stocks and wont load anything else even new tabs are not loaded...
My S2 had much much better flash performance. Ok the rom on my S2 is extremly optimaized but the difference is large, Ill try to post a vid later...

This is working fine on my phone, keeps me entertained for 2 mins

Im very confused...

Bummer. Was lurking around here hoping to find some i/o benchmarks for One X's implementation of Tegra 3 when I saw this thread.
Tried the Blizzard site shown in that Phonearena video on my Transformer Prime and Galaxy S2.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung knows something Nvidia doesn't.

Live wallpaper not stopping in MWC 2012 launch video

Guys Please have a look at this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq5323K514o in which there is no stopping of wallpaper while my Htc Onex(Baught from India ) has stopping of wallpaper each time you change the homescreen!!!
please comment on whats ur experience!!!

looks to me like it is stopping.

Yep
Same issue here, european rom 1,29 xxxx and it2s stopping. Also I tried that live wallpaper on the video but same result

It's sense that is causing the problem if you install another launcher live wallpapers run without issue.

I agree its not stopping!!
how it is that its stopping now, unless there is some setting by which HTC messed up and its slipped its quality control, I am more inclined to return my handset and go for Samsung!!

Funny thing is I shifted from SGS 2 , I was not at all liking Touchwiz and was coming from Hero, i must say I WAS admirer of htc for their quality and sense, But now I am so much disappointed

HTC are without a doubt aware of this so called "problem". Don't you think that if it's still present after three updates, it's classified as a minor defect? Who knows what was affected in the pre-release software that was at MWC and could be solved by turning off tha LWP animation? If any company waits to have a bug-free software before they release it, they will never release anything. The only bug-free app I have seen so far is 'hello world'

Who said that new phone must be bug free? Of course there are some bugs.
But as far as I can say, this phone beats my previous phone 10-0. Galaxy S was real pain in the ass. Kies updates, wlan, GPS. All those was driving me nuts. Now with One X, everything is like kiss to my cheek. Ota, wlan, GPS, call quality, speed, everything is better. So, that live wallpaper problem is not my biggest consern.
No more Samsung. At all. Not even a tv.

Same problem here ,i was send email to HTC ,waiting awser

Many AT&T one x owners say that live wallpaper work seemlessly on theirs, please if you have at&T confirm this¬¬!!

Any way on the same note, I have checked out SGS III is store, and to my amazement live wallpaper do not interact with touch, unless I am missing some settings!!, but I used sgs II, so pretty much familiar to TW, any new oweners of SGS III can you pls confirm this!!

there is already another thread about this in the theme & apps section

its basically vlingo with a new theme

not in the one x forum their isnt, im letting all one x users know that this fantastix app is now available

Wasn't impressed by this vlingo themed app. Thought Samsung would have created their own.
Flipboard on the other hand works perfectly on the one x, from the s3 extract

vlingo is horrible! Kills the battery like crazy and often dials the wrong people (sometimes with hilarious consequences).

Tried it I don't like it. I didn't like suri on my 4s only thing I used it for is texting when driving. But I can already do that on my hox

I wouldn't bother - android central stated it doesn't work well on the SGS3 that they tested in London.
Also,

To summarize, its voice recognition is utter rubbish & they hope it's because it's testing on a galaxy nexus.
Doubt it very much, as Android central stated the same when testing on the sgs3.

It keeps saying "Network error. Please try again" via wifi connection. Any idea?

If you look at the apps signature, it's made by Vlingo. That's not necessarily bad as Vlingo's a decent app but it's certainly not some new earth shattering Siri fighter as Samsung's portraying it. I tried it but it doesn't work over BT which is the only place I'd use it. Hopefully Vlingo will update their stock app so it works better on the One X.

Hi,
Same here, but with the fix of BlackElvis79, it's working now.

I'm on CoreDroid ONE X V3.0.
Not a really great app...

So if this is vlingo in a new suit is it really worth going through all this trouble to get the Samsung version working on HOX? Why not just install vlingo from the market?

i searched and found this apk file of S-Voice that works without manipulating anything.
/?fp04n29phdzeram "add this after mediafire dot com.. i cannot add a link unless i have 8 posts -__-"
i installed it on my One X and it worked when the one here didn't!

Doesn't work anymore, Samsung got Vlingo to cut out all devices trying to access the network unless it's an SGS3 so don't bother.
