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.

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?

View 22 Replies View RelatedI just bought my SE x10 mini pro and today I said that there was some firmware updates for it. 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?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Does anyone know where we can download the Official HTC Desire Android 2.2 Firmware Update so we can use it for manual installation into the phone?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAs "Allow Automatic updates" is checked I would have thought that the update should download ....... erm . automatically. Nothing happened. until I stated to download something else from the Marketplace and hey presto down came the Maps update. This is the second time this has happened. I can only assume that by initiating a download the Desire is synched with the Market, but this doesn't occur by just browsing the Market.

View 32 Replies View RelatedLast night they were all there, this morning nothing. At first I thought it was just slow to load them, it sometimes happens & you wait for a couple of seconds then they all appear. But not today. I updated my firmware yesterday twice - first to 1.32.405.3 and then to 1.32.405.6 - but they were definitely there after the updates. I've seen some other threads with the same issue on other phones but they're all at least a few months old. htcsense.com has, disaapointingly, not got all of my messages either. It seems to have most of them (including the last one I sent) but somehow is missing some in between.
View 19 Replies View RelatedThis morning, I received a Firmware update notification. I clicked it to download it and it updated.
I have now got the following details:-
Firmware version: 2.1-Update1
Sofware Number: 1.15.110.11
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
Anyone have any idea what the bug fixes or improvements were?
I have set my updates for Peep and Facebook and Freindstream for every 30 mins, but in order for this to work I need to constantly be connected to wifi or mobile web. I am fine with this, but it makes the battery die so quickly. Any way I can make my phone auto connect to wifi or mobile web to do the updates, and then auto connect. Also, any decent facebook app that isnt the default one? I have also read that you can set different profiles up for work or home etc.
View 7 Replies View Relatedwaiting for TMobile to reissue their OTA update to 1.21.110.4 so wanted to install it myself. Am desperate to install it as have read in couple of places on XDA forums that it increases the media volume which is a big issue on my device (yes, yes I know some of you get blown away by yours but trust me I'm not deaf or stupid, it's just ridiculously quiet). Anyway I have managed to download a zip of the update but am confused as to what to do next.
