O2 uk and firmware updates

Why are o2 so bloody slow at releasing software updates? Lets face it what different from three UK or orange UK software? all o2 do is add there own apps.
Every phone I have had from o2 has been the same slow at updating. I didn't want to root this phone yet has I see no real reason, now am thinking I should just to get away from waiting for o2.

Yea I agree, I'm still on 1.26 so two updates have been released and we still haven't got any.
I don't want to root mine yet either if at all, having said that I don't have any major issues, music skips frequently which is an annoyance so it would be good to get the update for that because it apparently fixes that.

This was my primary reason for no longer going to o2 for upgrades. My previous two phones have been from CPW and my HOX was from Phones4U - the reason being that they both supply unbranded phones on identical tariffs to those from o2. Lesson learnt from my Symbian days - waiting forever for branded updates.

I got fed up waiting and installed ARHD. I had a SGS 2 before and o2 were one of the first to update to ics but they are letting everyone down this time

Also I read rooting it will not update things like the radio? Or at least what I have read....
Anyway am on Three and only updated to 1.28 this morning, but yes now stuck with an older firmware until they bring out 1.29......

I totally agree, O2 completely suck with these updates. HTC are releasing updates to help people resolve issues they are having with the device, but it seems O2 couldn't care less if people are having the problems or not.
I previously got my phones from Carphone Warehouse but on this occasion I went to O2 because the contracts at Carphone were more expensive. However, a week after getting my phone Carphone emailed me saying that I could get an upgrade and their tariffs would not be beaten by carriers and they would match them. Unfortunatley I was on holiday at the time so I couldn't return my phone to O2 and go to Carphone.
O2 really need to pull their fingers out and give a **** about their customers.

Just got of the phone with O2 and happened to get through to someone who has same device. He said O2 do have the update and are looking at rolling it out first Q this month. He said we should have it by 14th.

Thanks for the info. Hope you are right.

Is your phone branded to o2? can you use any sim you want? or is this o2 only? Seems you have a un-branded phone and using o2 sim only

Yer am almost 100% your phone is un-branded and you can use any sim.

I am hoping that it's gonna be 1.29 we will recieve. Some even talk about 1.30 coming in a couple of days.
It is really annoying to be stuck on 1.26.
Wish I ordered my phone from phones4u.
I didn't expect this and the ugly laggy boot animation I got. Why is this god for them?
At least customer service was nice enough to make it simfree for free. Other than tha, shame on you o2.

No update yet. I think it could just be that O2 are more cautious. v1.28 didn't fix some of the faults reported, and if they knew of 1.29 or even 1.30 the sensible thing to do would be to wait to reduce the number of updates.
The average user gets fed up of updates quickly, and I know some people that don't bother because of it.
You won't get to speak to anyone at O2 that knows what's going on - the engineers etc are separate from customer services (who know nothing, despite what they might think). It's best to just wait.

I take it there is no ruu we can use instead?

As has been stated - phones from Phones4U are not O2 branded. That is why you get the update.

Hi Z51. I'm Newbie tonight, seems great site and glad to find it. I've just bought an HTC ONE X + . Phone locked to Orange, though still waiting for a micro sim card from my Provider for years with Cable & Wireless then carphones charles Blunstone bought us over years with them.
Now Talkmobile who uses Vodaphone network equipment. This is an unwanted upgrade from thye seller and although I will try, I don't hold much hope with Orange for unlocking code. Please PSM in lieu of receiving a new sim.
I'll give you my number through there.
Anybody else for help, plse welcome to it.

Hai, In order to unlock your mobile you can use unlock codes. If you want unlock code for your HTC one x mobile you can get it from Unlocking4u.com . Here you can specify your mobile model, imei, network and country. Then they will send the code to your mail along with instructions.

UK T-Mobile/Orange to EE

Hi guys, you may or may not know but T-Mobile and Orange have merged together and now call EE.
A friend of mine updated his iPhone last week and installed a network update, I'm assuming this is a radio update?
Anyway, his phone is now displaying EE, but my DHD is still saying T-Mobile or orange.
Do I need to upgrade my radio? I'm using TrickDroid ICS. I've tried searching for new radios on here, but Tapatalk search is pants!
Cheers
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

No, you shouldn't need to upgrade your radio, over time it should automatically change to EE
Think of it this way, when t-mobile and Orange merged and began sharing networks, they changed from T-mobile to T-Mobile Orange (when using orange's network on a t-mobile contract) and no upgrade was necessary.

I have an iCrap lying around (mum's old phone) with an orange SIM, I'll check in a bit with my DHD and the iCrap

Thanks for the replies, it's just strange that we can stand next to each other, mine says one thing and his says another, that was since his update.

Apple may have sent an update (because they have to be different to everyone else!) to read the network code (23430 etc) as EE from now on. Most phones I am guessing rely on information sent from the carrier.
It is a strange one though because I have a friend with a 4s which shows EE from Orange, but I have a 3gs which shows T-mobile still....unless it is only Orange on iOS?
EDIT:
Just restored an iphone on iOS6 and after the restore, it showed 'T-mobile' but then had a message stating there was an update from the carrier. I did the update and it showed 'EE' so it is a carrier update, presumably rolled out for IOS only for now

EE
My wife's DHD shows EE after a sms message from orange and my DHD still shows orange just have to wait for orange to send out the sms for it to change to EE

EE are sending the updates out in batches, the ones that upgraded manually when they merged with TMobile are going first, the rest are due to follow over the next few months.

Jelly Bean update for HTC One X

Hey, i did some reading and from what i understand, everyone in the world got their JB update by now. My One X shows a current version of 4.0.4 and can't find an update. The phone was bought in Ireland. What could be wrong?

It could be carrier branded, just wait, that's all you can do.

I don't think it is. It's not locked as i'm using it with a totaly different carrier (one that does not exist in Ireland) and in a different country i'ts bought.
edit--
i just remembered there is this O2 presentation or whatever it's called when i turn the phone on. This does mean it's branded right? Then again O2's users in Ireland confirmed they've already got the update.
Is wi-fi necessary to detect the update? Or can you detect it with mobile internet, then download with wi-fi?

It connects to a web server, you can check for the update and download it in any way as long as you have a data connection.

N920A No OTA update for unlocked Model

Hi
I live in Pakistan and use a SG Note 5 At&t unlocked model, i was wondering if i can get the OTA Marshmallow update too.
Whenever i check for it in the software update option it says your current software is upto date.
I am on Build Number N920AUCU2AOJ1.
Thanks!

i believe you can't, the ota works only if you're using att sim card inside the US network, unless you sideload or flash the rom manually

Thanks for the reply!
My only hope now is a firmware file that can be flashed via ODIN, which i believe is currently unavailable.
Not buying an AT&T device from now on!

The AT&T Sim card is required but I don't think you have to be in the US to get it. When I had a Note 4 back in March, I received an update while I was in Italy (I live in US).

You def. don't need to be in the US to get it. As the OTA will also deliver over wifi. I've not seen a phone require the carrier sim card in order to receive an OTA, but I suppose it is possible.

oh meaning you're using a roaming att sim card that's why it triggers the ota, in his case he lives in pakistan and i assume his using other carrier there, did you manage to download the update via 4g or wifi?

I'm on an AT&T family share plan in the US. While traveling abroad I had purchased a travel plans from AT&T. I was using data (roaming) in Italy when I got a notification of an update. The update required that I use wifi to download it so I did it that night in the hotel. Was a security update so it didn't take long.

If you read the thread you'll realize it wasn't me that's looking for anything. I've been running MM for a month with no problems. My comments were simply stating that ota updates can be done outside of US as long as you had an AT&T Sim card.

It is true, you need to be both in the US and have a working SIM card to get the OTA. I am in the Caribbean on a short vacation and I have my SIM but it still won't let me grab the OTA. I am willing to bet it will update when I make it back to the US. Will update

Not true. AT&T Sim card is required but I've been traveling abroad and received updates outside the US. Simple as that. Even though you may not be physically in the AT&T network, the sim card is what links you back to AT&T.
