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.
Bros,
All I heard so far is the Froyo update will roll out in Europe this weekend. So how about Asia/Singapore area? Is there anyone here from Singapore? and any news about it?
My phone is not lock, will I get the OTA update?
Hope to hear from you guys.
Still undisclosed
I tried contacting HTC regarding this a few days ago, you can read their reply here:
www[dot]jatyap[dot]com/2010/08/froyo-release-date-for-htc-desire-in-asia-still-undisclosed/
Sorry I can't post links yet...
SEA have yet to receive an OTA update (1.21.xxx.x) that Europe received prior to this 2.2 update...not sure if hTC will release it all at once, but i'm afraid that it will take some time before SEA receive the 2.2 OTA...but i do hope i'm wrong...
I think the SEA codes are
1.19.707.7 and 8
Sorry, misread your post.
However, most Desire users currently already run Eclair (Android 2.1 update 1).
I think this was the latest release prior to FroYo.
Are you talking about the build numbers?
1.21.x.x - Europe
1.19.707.x - Asia
is what I read... There are a few other numbers if you care to look them up.
You can do a manual update if you like. I did last night and took me 1.5 hrs. It doesn't require a genius to do it.
There's another thread, I just followed it and now enjoys froyo.

I may sound dumb, but I have no idea if It's rooted or not. I got my phone one month ago and have no background whatsoever.
But hey, at least I'm smart enough to follow the instructions and upgrade to froyo. : -)

yup, that that's the number i'm talking about...
IIRC, europe devices receive an update before 2.2 update...this update includes an updated radio which is required for the 2.2 update, but SEA has yet to receive this update, thus making me feel that the 2.2 update for SEA will take some time...
honestly i feel like flashing the 2.2 update using the methods described in xda, if it doesnt arrive anytime soon...
i would suggest you go ahead and do the manual flashing of the ROM and updating if you can stomach the Goldcard creation. Its considerably complicated and enough things can go wrong for the risk to be there.
I believe the official update for asia is at least one month away. In europe even the operator-locked handsets will take a couple of weeks to get their 2.2
I did mine and took less than 2 hours.
It isnt rooted at all. Just using a different original HTC ROM.

are we able to flash back to the Asia ROM when froyo is made available for Asia ROM to get back the warranty? I don't think HTC will know about it.
Stan79 : htc will know about it. Happened to a friend who is using the nexus one. He had to send a few e-mails and make 2 trips down to the service centre in harbour front to get it sorted. Oh by the way the service centre sucks big time. I have been there twice and have been trading e-mails with them for the last 2 months to get my phone sorted out. Till now i still have a buggered phone.
latest news from HTC Malaysia's facebook:
Froyo for asia will be coming late Q3. Sept maybe?

I like how HTC is an asian company and the users in asia are always one of the last to get any updates. Happen when i was using the touch pro 2 as well, waited forever for wm6.5 update.

Hey Everyone!
I regret to say that my touchscreen has become unresponsive in an area. Bad times.
The Good and Bad Round 1.
The good news is that I'll get it repaired/replaced by Bell. Woot. The bad news is that, of course, I need to have all my software elements back to stock.
BTW, I purchased the phone in January 2011, the box says it was shipped out on Nov. 29th, 2010
The Good and Bad Round 2.
The good news is that I have managed an Unrooted Stock ROM, HBOOT? (not 100% sure the RUU updated this one...), Radio, and Recovery, CID Lock, and S-On. The bad news is I'm not sure what came on my phone and if it's actually the right configuration...Here is what I have:
Build 1.34.666.1 CL273326 release keys (and the kernel, and recovery from that RUU)
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.85.0005
Radio 26.03.02.18_M3
Is this all correct/did I miss anything?
Thanks so much if you can help me out!! Even just saying that you sent your phone in for warranty after rooting/unrooting successfully will put my mind more at ease lol.
Cheers!

bell software is usually build verison 1.84. also i think the hboot should be 0.84 for bell desire z's
thanks for the quick reply. If I'm not mistaken, the rom I would have had mine shipped with would have been 1.34.666.1 or 1.34.666.5...I think the 1.84.666.x was the OTA update given in the spring, and I'm not sure whether I would have received that or not...
regardless, I figured it would be playing it safe by going with what was the most "original" since if I had an older, shipped rom, they wouldn't bat an eye at it, since it would seem as though I simply declined the OTA update.
I guess what I really need to know is when the 1.34.666.5 build was released/shipped. I know that's a pretty arcane piece of knowledge...
Anyone out there buy a Desire Z from Bell in late 2010/early 2011 that can check their software versions? and hasn't rooted it? (and thus pointlessly frequents xda...?) ((perhaps i should try to ask in some other forum))

Thanks for the input guys.
When i get my phone back i'll post a thorough guide for the squeamish/noobs to doing this with the right files etc. I found a way to do it that only takes about 20 minutes once you are set up. Finding all the right stuff was the hardest part
Hi I need to unroot my desire z for the same reasons as you, I rooted it using the cyanogen guide here (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting)
What guides did you use to unroot as I have no idea what to do and all I can find are warnings about how much more dangerous it is to do.
Thanks!
FYI the guide to do this is up now:

I asked three UK customer services when the 1.28 update was due to get sent out they said never as they are working on the next update. No clue as to when though and what it addresses. Still stuck on 1.26. Wishing I was unbranded.
I hope they will be able to correct flickering by FW or at least say they will to give hope to potential buyers
same here... Three / Sweden
I really believe it should be possible to patch out the flickering with software updates, make the backlight less sensitive or something, even if some users don't experience it at all. Maybe it's got to do with the screen running in 58 hz and not 60
There's always going to be another update on the way...
same here, not updated yet :/ will put custom rom I think

I'm on three Denmark, and I got the 1.28 update as soon as I checked for updates after receiving the phone!? Weird!
Here is the Three UK twitter reply asked on the 19th by a different forum member:
https://twitter.com/#!/ThreeUK/status/193261627230003200
there will always be updates on the way
u dont know HTC i guess...
Right as the only other thread for this update is a "Europe" one, and that HTC obviously thinks the UK is not in Europe, I've started this thread/campaign for comments on this update!
We all know the rest of Europe have got this, so can we please keep this thread UK/Ireland based only!
Come on HTC your UK/Ireland batch of customers are waiting yet again!!!
Please note we are talking about the very latest OTA update here, as per the title of the thread, do not post comments that relate to the earlier update version 1.29.401.7
In other words a post for everyone to say "i've not got the update yet..."

Update 1.29
I got my 1.29 update yesterday afternoon. Doesn't seem to have sorted anything major.
"Phase Beam" live wallpaper still doesn't work. Now, to wait for 1.30.
I have a unbranded handset. No update for me. Not sure if i want to go down the manual RUU route again.
I just used the RUU, all seems to be OK so far
I got it yesterday on the one I sent back today, and got it straight away when turning on its replacement this afternoon. Both unbranded.
Nope! :-( T-Mobile UK
I'm just going to wait again, 2 weeks will go fast and at least it gets tested by others in europe before we get it.
I've got this mobile for 2 years so couple of weeks is nothing, and I must admit the updates are coming thick and fast compared with the desire I had.
I will be checking couple of times a day though lol

Please read through the threads in the One X Forum.
There are two 1.29.xxx updates the has just received the first one that doesn't fix the flicker, the second one is doing the rounds in Europe but not the UK yet, we have to wait another week
The latest update when it arrives in the UK will be 1.29.401.11 and the flickering will take a little time to sort itself out while the phone monitors voltage over the course of a days/weeks

same here branded phone so it is worse for us who have a branded one and one more thing i am disappointed about is that on my s2 say if i was on gingerbread 2.3.5 and a new custom rom based on 2.3.6 took my fancy i could easily update everything and say i was on the latest and greatest firmware..and that was the same with ICS..on my s2 i was on cm9 4.0.4 now here i do not even know if by flashing the latest custom rom i am actually fully updated or not hence why i am pissed off about
Wonder how long we will have to wait this time & i also wonder if HTC have thought up any new excuses for why we are waiting.
We need to find out why UK is being delayed all the time, HTC should give answers!
The first OTA (1.28) was received at the same time as everyone else - however, these two 1.29 updates have both been delayed.
... I hope its not a trend for the UK.
