Hi All,
Hopefully a quickie...
I'm a noob with a new HOX on O2, was on Samsung previously. Have seen mention of an update, 1.28.xxx.
If I'm on O2, will I have to wait for O2 to roll out a modified update, or will I get it direct from HTC?
Thx.
You get it from o2, assuming you have an o2 branded handset

Thanx
Thank you for replying so quickly!
So I guess it'll be weeks / months rather than days...

unfortunately that is the downside of having a branded One X mate.. i am in the same boat. then when i thought of unlocking the bootloader and updating my phone through custom roms i find out that you lose your warranty if you do that..so either way we are ****ed....so wait for the stupid network companies to release the stupid updates with their crappy **** on top of the updates as well
hey (noob here) i would really like to update to the latest FW but as o2 havent released it yet , i would have to root/unlock to be able to get the latest version?

this was posted a while back
it was on their twitter page
if i remember they said they expect it to be in november but could not provide an exact date (so i would be dubious)
They've been saying September on twitter, but aren't being any more specific as to when exactly.

Even today they ahve posted on twitter that it will be some time this month, and when they find out when they will tell us.
I think they are taking the piss making us wait this long.

Not as bad as O2's ETA so I hear (I heard O2 was looking at October/November)

I'm pretty sure O2 has released the 2.2 update for the Desire.
T Mobile have managed to screw up the android os so many times that I think they are staffed by chimps.
There are so many good roms out you should unlock your phone and use the quality releases that can be found on this board.
Orange are worse .. I think we should have a Phone provider top 10 ... of muppets...
Orange keep saying coming soon... see my thread ... I have Hboot 0.75 so may root etc soon ...but then why should I ??

To be fair to TMo, they did very, very little to brand the Desire ROM - essentially a boot screen and a few changed icons.
It makes it all the more surprising that they are so slow to roll out the Froyo update when so little has been changed.

Dave
Im in london england with an unbranded desire z never rooted...still no 2.3.3 gingerbread update even though its been released on vodafone here and other central european countries...im not really obsessed with htc sense so im not bothered about losing that if i was to root my phone because CM7 looks pretty great...
So my question is (1) what the thoughts on the official gingerbread update whatever country you in?
2) Is it worth waiting for or should i just think about rooting my phone?
Some say the unbranded desire z update might reach UK handsets end of summer.
Dont want to wait that long for a terrible update since there is no root for it at the moment.
(never rooted a phone but willing to take the risk if means better performance)
Thanks.
Virtuous 2.0 is stock gingerbread with many performance enhancements. It's a great rom. It's very smooth and stable.
I think there is temp root exploit for the official GB release. But rooting froyo is a lot simpler and the method is tried and tested. My recommendation is to do it. You won't be disappointed.
If you want to root this is the best guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision

I read around that rom advised by cj but i thought i would wait till the 31st since HTC says an offical update is coming end of june. If that doesn't come through i'll have to brave it out and root.
End of the month and no unbranded update from HTC, though Vodafone have theirs and 3 have been sending out unbranded updates to their customers... Sigh @ HTC.

normally if HTC rolls out an update the GSM versions which are the unbranded ones and unlock would get it straight away. So say they rolled out a new update today for those phones for your one i would say a few days to a couple of weeks the most mate.
Like my one. branded on 3. 1.28 update was released like two weeks ago and only like a few days i updated. so it varies my friend. best bet were to have a look is on here to see if others on the same network have it..do not forget it depends on regions as well
thanks for that,I'm new to these forums so will do some searching,I did try asking orange themselves but they seemed very reluctant to give a date,thanks again

no worries mate. same with my carrier. they do not know what goes on most of the time..so best always keep an eye here on the forum here or just check your phone like once a week
Ok people,
Just been on to HTC and they have confirmed that the 1.29.401.7 is out in the wild for UK users.
I have not had mine yet but they said this... (has anyone had there update yet?)
Robert: Hi Richard, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Robert: I understand you wish to know when the latest Android 1.29 OTA update will be coming to your device.
In answer to your query the HTC One X Android 1.29 software update via FOTA EU is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle 30,000 updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update soon. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.
To manually search for updates please go through the following steps as described in the link below:
http://www.htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=141676&type=1&p_id=440
For the latest news releases Please go to Our official HTC website, http://www.htc.com/uk/
Or web Fan pages e.g. Facebook & Twitter.
HTC thank you for your continued patience and co-operation at this time.
Richard Dixon: But thats great and all yet no one in the UK has received this update that I know of... (unless they got there phone from france or germany)
Robert: I can confirm it has been released.
Richard Dixon: Ive seen people asking on your official facebook and twitter. So its out in the UK?
Robert: Yes it is out in the UK.
PLEASE NOTE AFTER A FEW COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD IT SEEMS THE UPDATE IS NOT OUT IN THE UK AS OF YET AND HTC MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE. WILL POST MORE INFORMATION WHEN I GET IT.
Nothing on Vodafone here in London

Hi mate is your phone locked to Vodafone? This update is just for unbranded sim free phones at the moment, your network provider will release this update sometime later.
Already on it, RUU
But good to see it now slowly rolling out.

Looking forward to the improved battery life . Ive been told it also makes HTC Sense a bit smoother, is that true? Ive noticed that some of the Live wallpapers stutter a bit.
Nothing for me yet either on an unbranded T-Mob HOX.
Damn it, I just sent my One X for Exchange as it had a fault, oh well, I guess I'll have the update ready for me when I get another one back on Thursday, gives my fingers a break from mashing the 'check now' button.
Nothing yet, Im on vodafone but unbranded HOX.
nothing on my unbranded one as well, and htc said the same thing to me a week ago and nothing yet
They've been giving the same canned response for a week. They seem to think it's out here but it ain't. I have been speaking to HTC at a high level about it as I believe some mistake has resulted in the UK not getting it. I will report back whatever I hear.

The guy speaking to me said he had received his update yesterday and its a UK handset so im unsure mate.
I'm already on it - RUU
But, I've noticed:
Slight improvement in home screen lag, it's still there...
Much lower AnTuTu score
& according to HTC's own built in battery test, battery is worse than 1.28
I went from 90% left after the test on 1.28, down to 88% on 1.29
So, battery not as good maybe? & benching is much lower...
Hmm.....

I had the same email as that myself & also a similar reply from online chat, but there is i think you will find as yet no update in the UK.

Just got this back from HTC manager...
Stay tuned....ill need to investigate and send a few mails. But it seems a bit strange. I received my update this weekend. But that was on a Nordic device. Keep checking manually. I'll keep you informed. Cheers
So at least someone's checking.

Not cool. I thought it was a little odd Europe got it and the UK did not.

There's a thread around here full of people complaining and asking about when it's coming. No one knows.
It's a weird situation for EU. The carrier O2 released 2.48 for German devices...But not for all EU unlocked...
I thought at least EU unlocked should follow O2, but three weeks now..nothing happened. And the support team in France is so incapable that they said they don't know when is the next update.
I'm getting tired of this. If current sw is not battery draining and the long-exposure photo in pro mode RAW is clear enough, I wouldn't not be so anxious to ask for the new update...
HTC EU does a nasty job...That's why I'm switching to Pixel later this year despite HTC U11 is excellent.

Anyway, I don't think I need an update for my phone, cuz it's working flawlessly already.
