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.
Just thought I'd pass some information on I had from my O2 Premium support team. Google has advised that a fix was released to 1000 handsets yesterday from 17:00Hrs GMT. They will make sure that no issues arise from the fix and if all is well will start rolling out a full scale update 24Hrs Later, ie this evening from 17:00Hrs.
Anyway looks like it will be sooner rather than later

Very nice if it turns out to be true
That is actually smart move releasing to just 1k handsets to avoid any mass problems.
From what i understood the O2 phones firmware was the same as the sim frees/all the others, meaning o2 wont even be involved in ANY updates , that they'll all just come direct from Google.(that has to be good news)
Nice to know it's on the way though, although i've yet to experience the problem in "real life" and not having to put another phone 2mm away from it.

It does seem like a smart thing to do, although it does beg the question...how does O2 / Google know which handsets have received the update, and also how quickly do they expect people to be able to verify if they're still exhibiting symptoms?

Could handset send feedback back to o2 after it has updated itself so that o2 know what firmware your phone is running? Or if you phoned o2 they will ring you back and ask if you are still expriencing this fault.

Hmmm I personally doubt it, since the firmware is supposed to be un-tied to carrier tinkering.
If the carriers are aware of what firmware any of it's customers handsets are running, that raises another worrying issue. But I really don't think that they are capable of finding this out.
As an aside, I used to work for the UK's largest pub gaming machine company, and we had the largest network of computer-based touchscreen gaming machines (at the time at least) and they all ran a custom java based software running on top of Windows. When we made updates to the games or anything else, we would always roll out the update to 1000 machines as a preliminary measure.
The difference there however is that we knew exactly which machines had the updates, and could keep track of any issues that popped up. I don't see how Google would be able to do this unless these 1000 handsets they're talking about are Google employees (could very well be possible).
Mine (o2 via p4u) updated itself last night to android version 4.0.1
not really had the problem with the volume control, so can't say if it helped. But nothing else seems to have changed

could be.. as you'd think atleast 1 of the 1000 would have posted here on XDA
**edit**
post above proves me wrong - although my android version is 4.0.1 and i have had no update

The HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus has always had 4.0.1, so you haven't received any update at all.
I don't think the Android version is changing it's the buildnumber that is changing, mine is currently ITL41D, he advised a new version of that.

It would likely go to Google, not O2, and is IMEI based, so they will know how many and which handsets have received the update. They will log the IMEIs that the update was sent to and if you call your various support options with a complaint one of the questions will certainly be your IMEI number. Then this can be cross-referenced to see if you have received the update or not (and evaluate 1. it's success 2. other problems it generated).
When the phone's IMEI gets released for the OTA, there is a "whisper" service that checks the software/whatever version and if below the impending OTA it will prompt the notification for the update- if the same it will send no notification and the user will have no idea of/no need for the OTA. At least this is generally how the G1 and N1 both worked in the past.

He never mentioned what build number he had, as you can see he just mentions Android version:

I turned it back on and it said it was updating itself...

They all say 'Android is updating' everytime you power the phone on ;-)

No not the poster I am talking about what I was advised by O2, it is the buildnumber that differed with the update.

Ice Cream Sandwich does that. Everyone's phone does that, it's already been raised on here in at least two separate threads.
It doesn't mean you have received an Android update, it is regarding Android getting the home screen and apps ready.
an OTA update would require user intervention to be applied - you would have to first of all agree to the phone downloading and applying the update.
Well, if it really is released today at 5pm then we will know in little bit more than an hour,so keep your fingers crossed ;-)

It was due 5pm yesterday too. Fingers firmly uncrossed, only a single digit is required aimed squarely at sam/goog.
I heard that they are updating the baseband, not the software version...
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 i was really looking Forward to the update fixing my signal drops but ah well keep on waiting I guess
Just use HTC dev to unlock. Flash clock work recovery nd then a custom rom. I'm using coredroid v2.0 nd that is 1.28
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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..."

Well in the spirit of being British I will wait patiently and complain. I've not got it yet. Come on HTC Don't make us wait 2 weeks again.

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.

Hey guys,
greetings!!!!
The time has arrived for me to get the HOX, after postponing it several times due to the
issues faced by many hox owners.
Read almost all the threads here in XDA related to HOX and its issues.
So can anyone please sum up the current(latest) scenario of HOX(international version),
likewise;
1) Is all the software issues have been rectified, If NO, please mention those?
2)Build quality issues still persisting or not(ripples, spots, cracks etc)
3)What is the latest version of updation available(for stock HOX)?
4)Has anyone bought HOX from latest batches, viz HT26?
5)Kindly mention any issues that are still persisting or unrectified even after the OTA
updation.
6)And finally, is it the right time to get a perfect HOX, or should I wait more, thinking that HTC
will clear all the H/W & S/W issues in upcoming bathces.
Sorry for the lengthy post, and THANKS for reading & understanding it patiently.
