Hello everyone, is there a way to stop getting the KK update notification everday? As you already know you only get 2 options, start downloading or postpone, you only get to postpone for 1 day max, I don't want to update yet because I use my SD card and also theter my internet connection, and also read some of the problems other users are experiencing with the rollout, I rather wait until May as another member has suggested.
Is there a way to turn it off or delay it longer than a day, say 1 or 2 months? I am running completely stock
Thanks!

You could download it, but not install it to stop the notification. I'm on it now, and it's a great update. Not much changed visually except the all white icons, but it runs a lot smoother. Not that it didn't run smooth before, but it's just better. You could alway install it, and root, to get the SD Card fix. I did that, and can use it like I did on JB.

any help? ..........................
Last I saw the T-Mobile update was exactly the same as the leaked one... So the problems you are experiencing are odd???? I still have the leaked Rom and it works fine without the issues you describe. The Only time my battery life is shortened is when using the internet features and/or leave the screen on... for example I left wifi sharing on the other day... I was at 50% 2 hours later... so I turned it off, 10 hours later I was at 30% not too bad!

Yes I believe it's been confirmed that the "leaked" T-mo upgrade ROM was bit-for-bit identical to the final (official) release, verified by matching checksums.
However, when the upgrade was first making the rounds here, there were numerous reports of odd issues that would pop up for people after the initial flashing of the ROM...and the solution was just to re-flash it again. Amazingly, doing a 2nd flash of the same ROM seemed to clear up quite a few of the oddball problems that people were seeing.
I'm afraid though I don't have any idea why those last 2 apps aren't working for you following the upgrade...?
Woah, warning about WMLongLife...
It F*CKED up my 3G connection bad. It wouldn't automatically switch to 3G when I was coming into a 3G area from a GPRS/EDGE area and it was almost impossible to get the original setting back. I'd stay far away from that app if I was you.
The other app, I'm not familiar with. Where is the original post of that?
Hi,
I have major problems now with 2.2 after update. It was said to be quicker, much quicker.
In fact - my Desire is now slower as HTC Sense is reloading almost every time I come back from Gmail, Camera or other applications. This is so awful! Do you have same issues?
Also - I found that I cannot move all of my apps to SD card. Why? Can I force it?
So far was able to move to SD only 4 or 5 apps...
As for the slowness, sorry but I can't help, here it's the opposite.
About the apps move to SD, the coder has to update the app to be compatible with Froyo and the move to the SD card. Not all have been so far.
Maybe there were a few issues that HTC overlooked and if so, then they will probably bring out a fix for it.
Hi Guys, my update did not go too well and the phone keeps rebooting and I do not get any radio. Any thoughts. Anyone knows where I can get the 2.2 RUU to do a manual install? Thanks
My market application is broken....so i can't install any apps, and i can't browse my sd card for appcs, because a browser app is missing...ahhhhh
I don't have any issues after the upgrade. 2.2 is working just fine! Everything is much faster than before!
EDIT:
Except that Sygic don't wanna start

Android 2.2 Update: Major & Minor problems
Hi.
I'm in the UK and I got the OTA update this afternoon.
The update was over and done in less than 15 minutes.
Since then I had to uninstall & reinstall one app to make it work (WallSwitch) - the minor issue, and my Desire won'tconnect to my home wifi (MAJOR ISSUE!)
Can't talk about the quality of the update yet I've spent all my time trying to get my wifi to connect.
oh almost forgot...it looks as if the previous separate Voice Search is now fully integrated but it leaves the previously distinct Voice Search app installed. I haven't worked out if I can remove it yet.
Update 3rd August: Finally found a workaround for my wifi connection problem: Switched to a using a static ip address. Not ideal but good enough. btw I'm using a Belkin N1 Router with the latest firmware (Belkin haven't updated that in over 7 years and I doubt they ever will!!)
Found several folks with similar wifi connection issues.
Having fixed the wifi issue, I have noticed that my phone seems quicker and more responsive could be the "Update Placebo" effect but I hope not
Update: 30th August: since the Froyo update I'm also having problems connecting to GPS and 3G. I guess I'll have to wait for another minor update.
I dont have same issues as you, but my homescreen is sometimes reseting on its own.. it happens rarly but still, i want a perfect system...
Here all is perfect....froyo to win!!!

After updating my phone replaces the selected recipient of an SMS or MMS with a different random identity. The best part is I've no idea if it's happening or not until the text is sent.
Hey,
Check out this post:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7044128&postcount=18
I had the same problem with the froyo update on my Desire. Step #1 puts it back to how it was (SO REMEMBER TO BACK UP OR USE DIFFERENT SD CARD THAN YOUR USUAL), then you can have a second chance to redo your update.
I just wrote an SMS and froyo didn't recognise the standard dutch library which it came with, I find this quite annoying.
edit: problem fixed by adding the dutch language to keyboard language option.
Update: 30th August: As well as ongoing WIFI problems, since the Froyo update I'm also having problems connecting to GPS and 3G. I guess I'll have to wait for another minor update to fix them.

The update seems rushed (BIG SIGH HERE). Too many minor issues, but they keep on piling up. HTC's Éclair was near-perfect.
I just can't find the latest firmware neither in support site not via Firmware update section in Settings.
Just a thought, maybe HTC cooking something.

If you want the full ROM for an unbranded Desire then click the one in my signature. It's the latest one, 2.29.405.2
I also try to make an update through OTA and nothing appears.. any news why?
And 1 more @ EddyOS:
If I download this rom from your signature link how will then install it ? Thanks!

Is your device branded somehow? If it is, don't try to apply any update. You'll just have to wait...

No it's not branded.
Well maybe its for the better. Only thing that i got from this OTA are problems.. Battery temp is higher then before, and there is problem with installing apps from market( maybe its not related but it started to happen after upgrade)
No root
Hi, the same with my Desire... I got the update offered once, I canceled that and from that time never offered.
I assume I should wait if I don't want to root right?
It seems that HTC removed the update. It isn´t even listed on their website anymore.
It might have a reason that they did so, but i didn´t find any information about it yet.
(I too got the update available-message which i also cancelled. 2 days later (3 days ago) i tried a manual search and i found nothing, even with friends phone on stock rom)).
C'mon guys, the update was obviously pulled for a reason. Do you really think HTC is denying it to your for s**ts and giggles? There's obviously something wrong with it and you don't want it on your phone.
Whenever I tried to do an OTA update it would download and then tell me the update is corrupted and couldn't be installed. I was running a stock euro ROM at the time.
In the end I gave up and installed a generic WWE ROM which included the latest update. Everything works just fine for me. The battery life seems much improved although I don't notice this as much as others may as coincidentally I've started leaving Bluetooth on for use with my car kit.

Guys be glad if you didn't updated your phones yet. The update only gave me troubles. Reception is worse the before, the phone feels more sluggish, I encouter more bugs...wished I didn't update my Desire...
You're an unlucky one, I've had no issues whatsoever using it
Agree... this update was great... it solved at least 4 problems to me:
1. the drop to 90% when removed from the charger
2. bluetooth connection to my headset greatly improved
3. when opening the first SMS on top of the message list it sometimes was opening the last one, not really a big problem but annoying
4. when writing long sms it sometimes would start an endless of conversion of "sms-to-mms" and "mms-to-sms" over and over again...
and so far have not seen any drawback.

I also had this problems! Really annoying..
I am also getting a lot of process failures..
So updating
EDIT: Damn, having problems -> here.
On screen keyboards look different I *think* - slightly bigger keys - (I was just messing on an iPod so may be mistaken!)...not noticed anything else.
I managed to snag this update via OTA. I'm on 2.2, unbranded, un-rooted. All is as HTC/Google intended.
Since installing this update I've noticed slightly better battery consumption, but I'm having a few FC issues. Downloading from the Market, browsing pictures, sending an SMS, using Twitter for Android will all drop an FC on me every one in fifteen times I'd estimate. This is up from never prior to the update.
I can only guess this is an issue related to this update as I never had this problem before hand, and I have more free memory on the Desire now than ever before after having a spring clean to find the space to install the update.
May not be this update, but it's the only system aspect which has changed since it began.
I havent had any problems updating to this.

Hi. I received an OTA notification yesterday (14/12/10) that a software update was available to download. I have successfully updated my unbranded sim-free HTC desire to 2.29.405.2. So far I have not noticed any changes to my device nor any adverse problems since the update.
Kind regards
Scott
Looks like it was either a server crash their end of just a staggered release...only thing really of note is a few app updates and smaller bug fixes
I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4
You should try rooting and running an custom rom or kernel. I've received the ota as well but i immediately rooted afterwards. Im running the stock rom but using a custom, overclockable kernel, and its quick! Rooting is VERY easy on this particular phone & the instructions can be found here in the android development section of this phone model. Or you could simply just take the phone back and ***** to sprint about it and maybe they'll issue you a new unit.
I prefer not going to sprint at all simply because the only store with a repair center here where i live i worked at and it was terrible, but I need help. I want to know the simplest way to root and revert back to 100% out of the box stock if possible... If not i'll suck it up and go to the store

Do I need to root because this just shows him unrooting the phone?
You have been such a blessing! Thanks so much for being patient and dealing with my ignorance...
lol don't know yet.. but you are definitely more of a professional than I am so I am taking your word for it
I appreciate it. If I do encounter any problems I will let you know but so far so good. It's pretty easy to follow
It worked! Thanks again
Thanks! Being that I'm a pro now I will look into the whole rooting and flashing rooms. I even got the lingo down lol
Question though... Do I flash roms the same way as in the video or is there something different I have to do?
Evening all, I've tried searching but it seems my Googlefu (and forum search) is lacking here. Apologies as I suspect these may have already been answered.
I've rooted my UK 3 branded G3 D855 2Gb version and I've noticed I've not had any OTAs since, does rooting it trigger anything like that KNOX on Samsung? If so, any way to get OTA updates back? I've only rooted, everything else is completely stock.
Also, my apps close pretty much as soon as switch to something else but my Nexus 4, which also has 2Gb RAM they would stay open for hours, I could play Candy Crush Saga then 6 hours later go back to it after using Facebook and Feedly etc and it'd still be running; not on the G3 tho, it's gone in minutes. I'm not doing anything more taxing on the G3 particularly.
