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 guys!
Hope we're all enjoying the Desire, I know I am!
One (on the small list) of niggles though is the facebook statuses coming up on the contact/"people" list. Is there anyway of turning this off but maintaining the connection to facebook?
Or now that the contacts and details are on my phone, if I turn off the link and get rid of the status, will the contacts disappear from my phone next time it tries and syncs? But then I loose the photos and have to input them manually. Rubbish!
Any ideas please?!
Normally I'm lurker because I don't know enough about Android yet to help out. And I don't normally have to post because I search though the threads. But I cant find that anyone has asked this question before.
Thank you in advance.
ps. What does OTA stand for (Rom related)?
OTA - Over The Air
That's one mystery solved! Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
I've lurk around the forums often. I just reflashed my HTC Tilt 2 last night with the new At&t ROM. I had the 1.59 version, or something similar to that. I tried searching the forums, but I'm only getting results on how to disable the annoying Message Sent notification.
There are many things I liked from the old ROM, but one thing that is really bugging me is the new texting box and text message notification.
Before I go into detail, On my old ROM I disabled TouchFlo 3d, and on the new ROM I've done the same, I disabled HTC Sense from the today screen.
With the old text notification popup of the sms you could see the message briefly on the bottom and being able to choose to view or dismiss.
With the new reflashed ROM I get the text notification popup of the sms, but there is no option to view or Dismiss, I only get an option to Hide the text.
is this a common problem with the new rom? I haven't seen it in any threads so far, or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
No one else is having this issue with the new ROM?

I 'think' this is a WM6.5 thing, and not a at&t rom issue. The Windows default Today screen has a nice text messages display on the screen. Maybe thats why they felt neccessary to remove the "reply" and "menu" options in the notification pop up?

This is an issue with the new AT&T Rom w/sense. I posted about it in 2-3 threads and have had 2-3 other people confirm that this is happening after the Rom update, so I know it's not a software issue, plus I did a hard reset today and the issue is still there.
I want a fix for this too, but haven't seen anyone come up with one yet.
It sucks to get our messages and only be able to hide them, not hit the "view" button so we can reply right there.
Are you sure that the AT&T ROM did not upgrade you from WM 6.1 to 6.5?

i dont recall the menu/reply option being on the pop up after the 6.1-6.5 transition for my T-Mobile,so i second this guy
At&t has had 6.5 on all its roms for this phone, likely cause it was the last US carrier to get this phone. ;D
it's the new rom, cause this was a feature on the original rom released from at&t, I have both saved to jump back and forth when needed.
oh yeah, this issue is listed in the tweaks/issues , etc thread for the new at&t rom too.
I'm having the exact same issue. Can someone point me to that tweaks/issues thread that (hopefully) has the fix?

I've been looking around this forum ever since I got my phone last year. It's always been helpful. Now, I am looking for more help.
I live in Toronto and my carrier is Rogers. I have the AT&T LG G3 D850 unlocked. I bought it second hand on eBay. The first thing I did when I got it was did a factory reset.
The first problem I noticed when I first got it was that the contacts list duplicated every time I opened it. I think it might be copying the contacts from my SIM card each time I opened the contacts? I don't know. I soon downloaded an app (Contacts+) to call people. Another reason was because every time I opened my contacts, the AT&T address book popped up. It didn't create much problem, but it was a very annoying. I soon just got used to using Contacts+.
The phone hasn't given me much problem since until recently. I realized I had no idea how to update my android version. It is still running 4.4.2. I did a bit of research and the words "rooting" and "flashing" got my head spinning. I tried to understand myself, but I just don't understand how to update my android or if I even can.
The thing that made me realized that this is a problem that I can't live with is my phone calls and text messages are causing problems. It's getting harder to open to my messages. It loads a long time and sometimes freezes. Sam with my calls. Dialing out or receiving causes my phone to freeze up. Sometimes waiting works. Sometimes I need to restart my phone. Sometimes I have to wait a bit to be able to restart my phone. I am getting popups when I browse the internet, so maybe I got a virus? I do have AVG and Avast on my phone though.
Then there are the few more minor things. My camera seems to take lower quality pictures as compared to when I first got it. My screen seems to be getting less responsive and seems to be dimmer. Phone seems to be warmer than before, but that could just be me. Android File Transfer no longer seems to work, but I assume it has something to do with my calls and messages not working.
What I am asking for is some knowledgeable and patient people to help me optimize my phone. I really don't know where to start. Reading newbie tips get me more confused sometimes. Please help. If this is not the place for this, please move it there or please let me know to delete it. Thanks in advance.
For the contacts problem, you can go to contacts > settings > display options > and then select the contacts you want to be displayed so there aren't any duplicates left.
Also installing two antivirus programs will cause malfunctioning on the phone. So if I were you I should uninstall one of them. If it keeps running slow you should factory reset the phone and try again
You should be able to go into software updates and click update device. It should show several firmware updates because 4.4.2 was quite a while ago. Have a look for that option.
There is no need to root in order to update your phone. Just follow these steps and it will do it all automatically.
If you go to settings, and you stock can get the updates, The easiest way to get your phone updated its using a pc and install the LG suite. You will connect the phone and if detected it will pop the updates.

Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages......................................
Anyone else having any other issues?
That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

MMS works fine on my European un-locked (and rooted) U12+. Got one as late as yesterday... Using stock SMS app.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?
Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.
Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!
Soooo Got MMS to work on the default app and with Verizon Message +.... Android messages still does not work and that is something many others have said as well....
Very sad.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

Yeah they handle it quite different. But let's see. Maybe we'll get an overhaul with Android P.

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.
Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

Discovered a slight work around since. It doesn't happen if you go in and out of fullscreen using little button in the bottom right. So it only happens with auto rotation.
