Guys
Just to let you know that it seems T-Mobile has started rolling out updates officially. I checked the update option and I have an update pending...So whoever is with T-Mobile can start the update at their end.
It lists improvements to the phonebook and email application.
regards
Yeah grabbed it about half an hour ago. Seems that if you have data backup enabled, when it restores it has doubled up my text messages...

Yep exact same thing happened here !!!
Thanks for the headsup
I didn't bother restoring just cancelled it, still had all my user settings and messages.
So if I don't restore then it still keeps all my messages etc? And if I do restore, it will double up all my messages?
Please... PLEASE... Let there be an Orange update soon as well
If you want to backup your SMS Messages before you update, use this
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
It doesn't backup MMS messages though, just be warned. I use it everytime I flash a new ROM or change something...
Contacts are easier to back up, go into People, and choose Export/Import - then export to SD. Done!
Probably a stupid question, but where do you go to turn off restore?
i dont know if this is a silly question
but does anyone know what's new with this update?
all the update says is a better email client and a 'myphonebook' upgrade?
is there anything new to this?
a new radio etc?
i have downloaded the upgrade but can not install as battery is too low, currently charging..
Is it still possible to change to a generic rom after updating to this newest T-Mobile version? I ask because I'm only used to running custom firmware on PSPs, and I know with each iteration Sony tries to prevent downgrading - was just wondering if that's the case here too.
Is there a specific firmware I would be looking for, or is any unbranded 1.15.xxx.x eligible?
Thanks.

Well, the radio version has now been upgraded in this release. I havent seen any change to my reception due to the new radio ROM but its too early to say.
Also since this version was already out, it may just be worth it if any of the debranded HTC desire owners help tell (or point) us to whats changed.
Just installed the new update. I checked to see if there were any new htc widgets. Found 2 new ones "Profile" and "Ringtone". Haven't seen these mentioned are they new?

hmmm...i tried to run linpack to test the scores (wishfully thinking) that the numbers would have gone up. To my surprise I found the scores hovering in the 4MFLOPS mark when earlier it used to be close to 7. It could just be my phone but thought I mention in any case.

I just tried to check for updates for my desire (unrooted) and I saw that I can update to 1.21.405.2.
UPDATE:
It seems that the update is only available for the EU unbranded roms.
Changes reported:
- Updates bootloader to 0.80
- New radio image
- New youtube app with HQ option (1.6.20E).
- Fixed htc's weather widget (integrated into clock&weather widget) not knowing where you are (1.15.xxx just said the name of the country in some countries).
- SMS issue (from non-numerical senders) is resolved.
- fixed random contact showing when receiving operator SMS.
- fixes the voicemail bug for the French carrier SFR (short voicemail number used to call 911/emergency).
- Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in the SMS inbox.
- calendar/contacts bug - unable to store contact's birthday - has been fixed.
- Long click on the menu button when in home screen now doesnt pop up the keyboard, like it uselessly did before.
- SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types.
- Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.
- They have disabled the snooze function on the Optical trackpad for calendar events. This means that it is now possible to have the phone in your pocket without accidentally snoozing the alarms.
Known issues:
- OTA update on debranded/rooted roms resolves in wifi not working - debranded may be specific for orange.
- Doesnt fully charge for the first couple of times, probably a calibiration thing, it's ok after 3-5 charges.

did a bit of search and voila suppose its pretty much the same if not better than for the HTC original rom
Hi,
I tried searching and i could not find anything about it... thus... i created this thread.
My EVO is on stock ROM, i have only had it 2 weeks. I have literally zero apps aside from Google Maps. Since Thursday (Aug 26th) i have been unable to sync my Facebook Notifications via the pre installed Facebook app that comes on the HTC EVO. The error message has happened every single time since then, and i figured it was an issue with the network but a few of my friends have EVOs and have no such issue.
Message is as follows
Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. [601 /Parser Error: Unexpected '-' at position 64.]

Anyway, i have tried to clear the data and cache, unsync and re sync, and i tried to uninstall the facebook app via the market, but then realized it is not in my Download list nor is it something i can seem to find via the market. It is the pre installed Facebook app and HTC sense.
Please let me know if you guys have any solutions. It is driving me nuts as a lot of co workers keep me up to date via Facebook.
Thanks,
Carl
Have you updated the Facebook app to version 1.3.2? Or are you still on the version which came with the phone?
This is what confuses me. I have yet to update it as I assumed it would do that on its own. Now I am totally new to android so forgive my ignorance, but is the one in the market an update for the one that comes on the evo or a totally diff one?
edit: Well it seems to be a different one as it does not show the one I have in my downloaded market stuff.

The version in the market may not show up as an update if you currently have the version which came with the phone. But I think if you install it it will tell you it is replacing a currently installed version.
What Facebook do u guys use? I liked how the pre installed one worked but I did the update and hate it...
I'm having the exact same problem. I'll follow this thread and hope that somebody will find a soulution.

I stopped having the error when i updated to version 1.3.2
Check to make sure you have the most current version. However, the new version is awful (IMHO), eventually it will get better...
Hope this helps!
Carl,
This error most often happens when access to the site is being blocked from a firewall. Try checking your WiFi router. Even if you have a connection, certain outbound connections could be refused.
Just appeared on my phone (DZ). Does anyone know some details about this upgrade? Will permanant root and nand unlock possibility remain after applying it? Is there a changelist somewhere?
Always best to wait, don't jump into your doom
OTA 1.72.405.2 update is coming indeed. So how we will take it? Desire Z
Just updated my DZ, now runs Android 2.2.1.. To early to say anything about stability, battery consumption and radio quality, but the EXCHANGE 2010 ISSUES SEEMS TO BE FIXED!
Lost my perm-root though (didn't have S-OFF)... :/
I have the clockwork recovery so I can't update.
Does anyone has the zip package?
from htc twitter:
European Desire HD / Desire Z users – look out for an update rolling out from today that will make your mobile experience even better.
Works perfectly fine here. Updating took about 6-7 minutes here (including reboot)
Promised fixes are improved performance and camera improvements. Phone runs smooth, but I didn't notice any very big increase yet. Camera seems to be a tad faster, but that could have been caused by the reboot as well.
Don't install any OTA if you are rooted/S-OFF !
You will lose root and might not be able to get it back if HTC have tried to close the loopholes exploited via the current root/S-OFF methods.
Far better to wait until the devs have had a chance to check things out and make sure the update is rootable/S-OFFable.
If you don't care about root etc then this warning doesn't apply ,but I suspect the number of members this applies to is a minority.

Just to add, the RUU for this version is already in the dev forum, and we already know there are some issues with rooting it.

Urmm, are you referring to the Exchange issue where initial sync would work but then "sync protocol error" would occur after a few syncs?
Would be so awesome if that is fixed, interesting that in the last few days HTC support are telling me that they are still handling it as an issue on their side, and actually requested that I open a user for them on my Exchange server...
Downloading now.
Well, no dice, tried syncing exchange and getting "sync protocol error". might try to remove and re-add the account, but I tend to think it'll be a waste of time.
Duppsko, can you let me know what your Exchange issue was before, and what did you see fixed after?
Correct, I had the protocol sync issue, couldn't sync either calendar or contacts after a few syncs... also, sending e-mail and opening attachments didn't use to work..
When the DHD got this exchange-fix OTA earlier in november, users said that you have to delete the activesync partnership completely, and then readd your account.. that's what I did, and my issues are all gone!

Last night, my phone was fine. THis morning, I woke up and had no sound playing back through the phone... Thought I'd do an online update to see if that would fix it. Said there was an update, so went ahead and updated...
Now, I still have no sound, but also getting problems with the wi-fi. I try loading it and it says (for a split second) "Loading" then comes up with error...
I also tried watching a video, and get "unable to play this video".
Dunno whether it's an app I downloaded last night, or whether there might've been something else that caused it...
Tried doing a backup to factory reset, but cannot backup any of the application settings because I don't have root...
Hopefully someone will be able to get root back for this update so I can backup, and factory reset
OK, now sound is back working. Dunno why or how... But I still can't get the wifi to work... Having read around on the net, have heard of people who have had problems when updating with ota updates on htc when rooted. So could this be the problem?! I hadn't even thought about the rooting at the time of update... D'oh...
Hopefully can resolve this asap
Its too tempting for me having that little download notification.
I have perm-root and s-off (but not radio... the fake version).
Would love to know what will happen...
Also is there a changelog?

1. What exchange fix did the dhd users get? Many of the recent complaints about this problem are still coming from dhd users...
2. When you say delete the partership you mean from the exchange server or do you mean removing the account from the device? The first option got the sync working for me for a couple of days and died again (last week, before the ota upgrade). But should I try deleting the partnership and/or readd the account on my phone now, after the ota upgrade?

I did the OTA update without realising i would lose root.. and now SetCPU doesn't work (it's the only app i use root for).
From what i gather, there is no easy solution, yet? VisionaryR12 says i already have root..
I have started a new thread in the dev forum about rooting progress on this new ROM. Please check that thread for update info (but don't just post in there "When will we get root ?", because it's a thread to talk about the dev stuff).

I'm referring to this thread where some people reported that the DHD OTA released early in november fixed all their exchange 2010 issues. Haven't been reding the whole thread, so I don't know if the problem persisted..

Sorry that I didn't specify this, I just removed the account from the device (thus deleting all existing contacts, e-mails etc.) and then readded the account. As you say, just deleting the partnership from the exchange server (in OWA) doesn't work, I've tried that before this OTA was released with no luck... I'm pretty sure that you HAVE to delete the account on your device to make this work, however, it doesn't hurt to delete both account on the device AND partnership in OWA...
Edit: My god, it is now possible to use "search server" from within the mail client (select folder, and press the search "hw-key", and then select search server)... Best christmas present ever!
Hi,
I used to have facebook push notification on my Galaxy S.
However, since around 1.5 weeks back - I rarely get this notification.
Facebook notification refresh setting is already set to every 30 minutes (but why is this necessary? Since it should be a "pushed" notification, isn't it?)
I've done plenty of things on the phone in the past 2 weeks (one of them is factory wipe); so I can't put my finger on when is the last time the push notification work.
Anyone got any clue?
Actually i noticed i havent been getting notifications either.
On 2.2.1 JPY.
same for me!! weird!!

I don't think I've ever had the facility to have the notifcations pushed. It probably works out in your best interests as it will probably save you more battery life and data in the long run

I think the opposite actually.
If it's not "pushed", then the apps in your phone will try to connect at certain interval to check if there's latest records.
If my understand is correct, in the past, facebook application for android, works by using the 'refresh interval'. But in Dec, the "pushed notification" is added into this apps

* sorry, I can't create a URL link in my post due to low post count
I used 2.2.1 and had pushed notification. My guess is that this happen only in Jan, and probably after I did the X'mas version Darky's ROM.
Do you guys think this pushed notification works based on your phone "product code" ? Flashing ROM is known to change your Product CODE.. (I think mine was changed to XOR, XEE, XSO before.. )

Yeah the app itself has settings for regular updates but I hadn't noticed a push setting previously. Can only assume FB pulled it for some reason because the ROM's themselves don't really touch any third party .apks.
Guys..
I got "pushed' notification now; but only for messages so far.
This is what I did in facebook notification settings..
Untick all Notifications (e.g. messages, friend requests, event invites) and also untick the notifications. Also set the Refresh interval to - NEVER
get out from that notification setting page.
Get back in again and this time around, ticked all notifications back .. but keep the Refresh interval to NEVER.
Using push notificatiion, so don't need to ask the Facebook apps to "poll" the servers for latest data.
once again, i'm on 2.2.1 using Darky's ROM V8.0 with latest SpeedMod Kernel (dated 13th Jan 2011).
I wasn't getting any notifications pushed either and i read somewhere (can't remember where) that you can fix it by resetting the push notifications thing (i think its called c2dm).
One way of doing this is by going into Settings > Applications > Facebook > Clear Data
Then open up facebook, enter your details and it should work (it worked for me)
sounds like when I did change the notification setting, that have the some effect as clear the data and create a new one.
got the same prob also since last two weeks.. flash every rom from stock to custom.. from 2.1 to 2.2 based.. and finally on darky 8.1.. still push notification for facebook app not popping up anymore.. but it works fine before.. can someone identify what is the source of this problem?..
Same problem here. Any ideas?
I actually do not have this problem BUT.... I can´t hear any pop sound when someone sends me a message on FaceBook....
I have gone into settings and enabled sound and everything there but I never hear any sound when I get a message
Any way to fix that?... would be SUPER sweet

Push notifications work via push service which is dependent upon "Android ID", not product code, I know that because I had problems with Kik Messenger which works with push notifications. People at Kik explained that push service is connected with unique Android ID of your device and if it changes, you will probably have problems with notifications. Android ID changes if you, for example, flash custom ROM. I was lucky enough to create complete nandroid backup when I first bought the phone. Kik didn't work properly on Darky's (or any other custom rom) so what I did was: restored my original ROM, installed Android ID changer from market, wrote down my ID, flashed Darky's again, installed Android ID changer again and restored my original ID.
Now push service works like a charm
Hope it helps...

on facebook desktop website, in the top right corner click "account" > "Account settings" > "mobile" (a tab).
The sms contains the content of the notification (altho can be cut short if too long) and depending on the context, a url to the mobile website.
EDIT: oops, looks like iceland isn't on the dropdown list... (probably no carriers in your country support the function ) Many other countries do though :S
I use F plus (flow) now.
Might not be push, but at least I get them now, which is more than the facebook app did ever did.

Hi
Is it possible to disable ota update?
You can set "update notification cycle" to "off".
It's in the settings of update center.
Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk
Disabling of such things is usually not an option (as manufacturers implement it). But look in running apps. I think I saw something like "update service" or similar. If you freeze this one, the "app" or "setting" shouldn't be able to check for new updates.
Other than this, there is an option to just get notification of new updates and decide for yourself whether or not you want to download the update. This can be found under the last item in settings "about your tablet">"software update". Under the last item here you find an OS and an apps section.
Hope I could help or at least give some useful hints.
Thank you both very much! I found it now. No more fear going into bootloop after update of my cwm tab.
