can anyone tell me how often new firmware/updates are released by HTC? Do they release them as often as apple do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an unlocked 02-germany Galaxy on Orange UK. This was all news to me today that the Galaxy users aren't entitled to Over-The-Air updates nor is it apparently a "Google" phone in the same way the HTC G1 is. (Samsung, when are we getting Donut?). I'm not clear what the distinction is. Maybe someone can tell me. This is a big let down to be honest, I wouldn't have probably bought the device if I knew this. Even app updates nots don't come through and my bro has been showcasing Donut on his G1 (also on Orange UK) all morning to make matters worse. Any news on when we get donut now? Is this the only non-OTA updated Android device. How does one confirm this? I presume the Magic is however.

Then..... See some nice new firmware, (JM2) and think i will have some of that! (Install with odin, not using CSC file Initially, then using CSC -- EURO ? not UK specific? file included with update
And now....
On both counts i have had to manually install the apn settings, (no problem)
But....
Apps are missing from the market place, (new google id & with & without csc file)
Im thinking the CSC file is more important than we think, in that it holds APN information for UK operators, and that when you go into marketplace this CSC file reflects a UK phone in some way, and displays according apps
Battle for Mars ... only the lite version is available HistoryEraser ... is no longer available etc etc...
So two things can anyone with JM2 see those apps?, and other thing I have a feeling that Kies won't update our phones to the latest firmware (Eventually) if our csc file reflects that our phone is a EURO phone, not neccesarily a problem if you use odin but you know what i mean!
Other thing that i wasnt aware of ... using odin resets battery stats. On xda developers there is a fix for this
Last thing......
Can someone who can see these apps upload the csc file somehow.
There were reports recently about new firmware for the phone. I7500xxik1 Are there any news about this?
I am still sitting on the fence trying to decide whether to get Galaxy/Spica or wait until the new htc devices (from the recent leaked list) are released.
I didn't do a before/after comparison of the firmware in my Moment, during the upgrade to 2.1. But did a firmware update come along with 2.1, or was that strictly an upgrade of the Android software?
Maybe there's something there, that would resolve the CDMA lockups that we sometimes encounter, since the 2.1 update didn't entirely solve the problem.
Maybe we'll see an update from Sprint/Samsung.
I am a using samsung galaxy i 7500 in india could any one guide me where could i get the games ,Apps & firm ware updates.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got a brown Hero from Carphone Warehouse on Vodafone (30, 300 mins, unl.txt & data, 24 months) and I'm over the moon with it. I'm so glad I didn't do what all the sheep in my office have done and get an iphone.
I had read that the Hero is pretty laggy but a firmware update would sort it out. It does lag sometimes, yeah but no big deal. I thought I'd still get the firmware update though, so I've been checking out the best way to do it. Here's the problem: On the HTC download page the generic ROM upgrade is v.2.73.405.5, but I'm already running 2.73.405.66, so I didn't install it. The 3UK users though get to download 2.73.771.73, but with my serial I can't get it.
How much difference do the firmare updates make? How can I get the latest one? I'm feeling a bit gutted that only 3 and Orange are getting properly supported by the folks at HTC. Why not support the other networks in this way?
I have recently got myself an HTC hero but can't seem to update the firmware so I'm stuck with the 1.5 firmware atm and haven't yet received any notification that was promised.

Sprint Pushing Maintenance Update to HTC Hero
Just picked up the EVO 4G and looking to root in order to remove the Sprint apps and other bloatware (Peep, Footprints, etc.). I'm just trying to find out if it will be possible to use OTA Sprint firmware updates (i.e. the inevitable 2.2 down the road) once the phone is rooted, and if so, will it reset the phone (delete all data) or merely revoke root access? Down the line, I'm not so concerned about having root access, mostly right now with removing the excess.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an X10 Mini unbranded, bought in Brazil, having the model number E10a, as I guess everyone in America continent has.
My question is: why do Europe get so many firmware updates and we just stay still? I'm saying that because as I was reading many forums about X10 Mini, I constantly seeing firmware updates, maybe I'm wrong, and the FW numbers differs from E10a and E10i.
So, my question is, FW 1.2.A.1.174 for the E10i is the same as 1.1.A.0.9 for the E10a? If they're both the same, no problem, but I don't think they're the same.
If I were to buy an unlocked HTC phone (e.g. Legend/Desire) on Expansys and use it in Canada, will I be able to update my phone's firmware? (it would be directly from HTC coz the phone isn't offered by the carriers in Canada).
Another question is, what if I decide not to get dataplan coz I can get free Wifi at school/work/home... will I be able to update my phone's firmware using Wifi?
I got a message saying that the new Firmware updates are available for my Wildfire, which I will download using WiFi when I get home. I noticed my phone only has 147mb of internal storage left, this doesn't seem like a lot to me and the update is 13mb. Is this normal? I've downloaded a few apps from the Android Market and I'm guessing they are on the phone's internal storage space. Is there anyway I can put these apps onto the SD card?

Then I updated the phone through PC companion and followed the screen and after a while the phone was updated. But then my problem started, I have some source code / text running in the upper right corner of my phone screen all the time. Every time I'm starting a new program or returning to home screen I can see the commands the phone is giving. How do I get rid of it?

I have an unbranded HTC Wildfire, but it doesn't download any firmware updates. At the moment my software number is 1.14.110.1 and I know that there's an update to 1.25.405.1. But when I want to check for Software updates it says that there are none. What might be the problem?
Is it possible that the phone is still branded but without a sim-lock? Because I get T-Mobile start up screen,but use whole other SIM and there's no T-Mobile in the country i'm from.
I just checked tonight, and the Aria is mysteriously missing from the HTC site. Are there plans to stop production? It's still available on the AT&T site.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to initialize OpenFeint in my game like this:
CODE:...........
Result: 1. OpenFeint initialization sometimes take so song(network actions?). It blocks the main thread. 2. My application remains in onCreate() for too long. 3. My Dev Phone One display ANR(application not responding) dialog prompting me to choose between 'Force Close' and 'Wait' 4. Soon after that, OpenFeint has done its things and my game shows up behind the dialog. 5. Now pressing 'Wait' will dismiss the ANR dialog and I can continue my game properly.
But obviously we don't want ANR dialog. So now I put it in a Thread like this:
CODE:...............
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Result: Problem solved. Everything seems to run fine now.
I put Looper.prepare() there because my game will crash if I don't. The log message told me to put it there. I put Looper.loop(); there because OpenFeint will not initialize at all if I don't. I've read the doc about Looper but honestly I don't understand what the doc says.
Question 1. The doc also tell me this: ------------------------------------------------- public static final void loop ()
Since: API Level 1 Run the message queue in this thread. Be sure to call quit() to end the loop. -------------------------------------------------- Can anyone explain when & where should I call quit()?
Question 2 What will happen if I don't call Looper.quit()?
Question 3 Let me ask this straight. Am I taking the correct approach? Is there some kind of loop running alongside my game all the time if I do this?
Playing around with the UI and SQLLite for a while and it looks pretty good to me . We have a requirement that for the App that all the questions would be coming from the server through REST / Web service which would be displayed on the App..
say for e.g if there are 4 questions
1) Enter your Name -- Text Box
2) Did you sleep well last night -- YES / NO
3) How many hours did you sleep - Text Box
4) How did you hear about us -- Drop down
So the requirement is that the Questions would be displayed on the App after doing a SYNC with the server during the SYNC with the server the Questions would be downloaded from the SERVER through REST / Web service..if the phone is not connected then pull the questions from the Database...
These questions are simple questions and they change quite often and we have a similar app which is there for iphone which does this ....
Pls advise me the best unofficial firmware update to download. Froyo based.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where my MediaRecorder instance causes a segfault. I'm working with a HTC Hero, Android 1.5+APIs. In the log i see (after the segfault announcement) a register dump and then a numbered list #00 libmedia_jni.so to #18 linker, then a stack trace. My Eclipse won't let me copy the log buffer, but I've done three screen captures that sum it up. If you have time to examine, send me a direct e-mail.<pre><code> if (mRecorder == null) mRecorder = new MediaRecorder(); mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); mRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA); mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4); mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); mRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);// mRecorder.setVideoSize(640, 480); // mRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(20); mRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder.getSurface()); mRecorder.prepare();mRecorder.start(); </code></pre> I've tried other variants, including H263 and 3gp. What else can I do to debug this? Everythin g seems fine up to prepare(). I tried adding the onErrorListener, but it seems to interfere with the MediaPlayer's onErrorListener. I'm using a 4-second beep-count to prepare for auto triggering of the camera, and when I enable the error handler for the MR everything in my handler state machines goes awry.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince no one knows when the update is going to come to the Droid. Could be tomorrow or in three months. Its all up in the air. It could happen anytime. Anyways, What do you need to do?
Have a battery near full all the time?
Backup your Aps?
Backup contacts?
Since I am assuming you can get the update without warning, I just wanted to know what steps to take, so I can have no problems with an OTA update.
