Indeed, it does. The Desire HD link I posted a page or so back worked perfectly. I already had the Goldcard though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
If all else fails, downgrade with a goldcard. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
I downgraded with a goldcard. Worked great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
For those that were hopidng this wasn't the official release sorry but it seams this is what is going to be released. This version shows up on HTC website for the inspire as the current rom.

I didn't think it was bad except for the contact issue. Maybe slightly less fluid on the launcher?

Black Screen, white HTC logo.

Ok, so it looks like if you are having an issue with the RUU 2.47.502.7 not completing without ever showing a green progress bar then just pull your battery & SD card, replace battery (leave SD card out) & restart RUU steps. Worked for me after a few days of posting questions without getting any answers. Hope this helps.

The file for the manual update was posted on the Phandroid forums after it was taken down yesterday. My question is, should I manually apply that file or should I wait for the update to be rereleased?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
As far as the messaging bug goes, saying that it is Sense and it has always been ths way is a worthless answer. I have never had to put +1 for any of my contacts in all the years I have been using cell phones, including this one while running Froyo for the past few months. If the other manufacturers can write software that doesn't require this, than HTC should be able to as well. AT&T has long been using the +1 and it hasn't been an issue with any other device I have had. This is shameful on HTC's part.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inconceeeivable:
I wouldn't be worried about it if putting +1 actually worked. I still have the problem.

I am having the sms/contact issue. All my contacts have +11234567890 formatting and it still doesn't show their name, only the number. I am also having issues with Google Voice. Sometimes it sends the message, sometimes it doesn't and it's wicked wicked slow. Not like this at all on Froyo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Hey, marsdta. Thanks for posting that file. Loaded it up 2 days ago and am enjoying the update. I have noticed better battery life. Thank you again for posting the file. I tried installing the one from the phandroid forums and it didn't work. Downloaded your file and it worked like a charm.

Can the update be downgraded and achieve s-off?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Yes! Attn1 just updated his awesome tool to include downgrading from gingerbread

No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Some of you will regret updating until the fixed build is released...this has a major glitch with contacts.....took me about 1 1/2 hour to get my phone downgraded and back to 1.84 which doesnt have the issues reading contacts....I would wait...

WC
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Not everyone has issues with the contacts. Some of us with AT&T going back to ~RAZR days have had this issue before. My contacts have had 1's in front of them for years...anyway I am having zero issues..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
+1 meiguoguizi.

This was a supposed bug 2 years ago. It is not a bug. I forgot about it a long time ago because I use +1 for all mine. Never had an issue since then. If you add the +1 555 555 5555 without spaces whenever you get a message it will show correctly.

And it is not an HTC issue. Never was. It is all ATT. My guess is they possibly route their messages through international servers. It also depends on who you get the messages from(what carrier) as to whether the +1 is needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
yup I did it back when I got my first htc and looked into the issue. Thats when I found that like always the US did things bass ackwards to the rest of the world lol. Added the +1 to all my contacts years ago and never an issue sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Actually I think it was crackberry, or maybe some other phone I've had I forgot which...anyway....yeah 1's vs. AT&T is certainly not new.

Edit I think I had Exchange set up to do this Auto now...dang getting old don't remember but I don't pay attention to it anymore...:O
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Well, just like everyone is not having this bug, adding +1 is not working for everyone. I tried it and it doesn't work. Perhaps if someone can explain why I didn't need the +1 with Froyo and now suddenly I need it for Gingerbread, then maybe I can resolve it. Also, no other devices on my family plan require the +1. There has to be an answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
This is why I worded it as I did@some will regret it..personally I had the bug with contacts and no matter which way I formatted the numbers,it still wasnt working correctly,it is both htc and an att problem,1.84 doesnt have an issue with reading contacts no matter if theres a +1 or not,they released it@developer and carrier so they are both responsable....and from my convo with htc,its a problem they are working on....

[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
I just got this bug and guess what was causing it. Facebook app. I installed and my pics vanished, clear fb data and removed the app and guess what. They all came back. So for those with this issue do you have fb setup?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
Yeah I do have Facebook set up and I have the contact problem. I'm going to try something with removing facebook, then reinstall it and not syncing my facebook contacts and see if that helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Don't reinstall it. Clear the data and then uninstall, reboot and check
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
It is possible that FB could be a culprit, but it wouldn't be FB alone. I have an Inspire and my wife has an Inspire. I'm running Gingerbread and she is still running Froyo. We both are running the latest FB app. I have the bug and she doesn't. Also, if it were strictly the FB app, it would be a bug with all phones running the FB app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
It is most likely that fb is not set to run on GB with the updated api. I stopped using fb along time a go due to privacy concerns but installed it to test something and bam no pics
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Its not so much an issue with the pics. The pics don't show because the messaging doesn't recognize the number from contacts because of the +1. Only a couple of my friends have their number loaded into there FB profile and those are the ones that automatically show +1 in contacts. The messaging app doesn't even recognize those properly at times. Also, the pics showing actually are from FB for HTC Sense, which has never been a problem until now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
I am running a few test with some others in a hope to get this figured out. Normally I dont have this issue nor have I had it sense putting the +1 on my contacts back on my HTC touch dual, the min I loaded up a FB (dont use FB) app and synced pics boom they were gone. Cleared the data and uninstalling it fixed the issue. Now while the HTC messaging app has been buggy at times when they update it. (remember HTC messaging client? WM 6.5) Fixes or work arounds have always been found so now it is a matter of finding them for android.

I will report back when and if I can manage to find the issue or someone else does first. Sense some do not have this issue and some do there has to be one common thread. Can you say needle in a haystack lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lgluna20:
Hello everybody

First one I hope you are fine.

I have one question about new ROM from AT&T

Right now my HTC Inspire 4G is unlocked; if I update my cellular via your file (RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe), will my cellular lose the Unlocked?

In one forum told me YES your cellular phone will lost the Unlocked.

In one forum told me NO your cellular phone will not lost the Unlocked.

Therefore what is the correct answer?

I would like to clarity my cellular is unlocked but it is not rooted.

Thanks for your support
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
My wife's Inspire just received the OTA update earlier, so now I have a second device I will be fiddling with, which I have been doing with my device for a few days. My thinking was it is with my Google saved contacts, it does do this with Google contacts that are not FB friends, not just FB linked contacts. No discrimination. Oddly, when I have a Google contact that this happens with, I can open a different contact that has a FB picture and choose edit, then save, and this will fix the incoming message contacts in the app. My current contacts are all saved thru Google with all FB friends linked thru the app and Sense both. No contacts saved on the phone. My wife has her contacts saved on the phone and linked to the FB app and Sense both. To soon to tell if she has the bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Nope I dont have facebook setup...still get it....Well Im done with this "official" update....redid the OTA(AGAIN)...everything worked till I rebooted the device, then same problem with messaging and contact names....really annoying....

Regards,

WC
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
IF you update via the stand alone RUU, it will erase your device,not your sd card but the device....IF you do the OTA it will not....You will loose root access yes,s-off should survive it though

WC
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
For those that care, the bug is in the mms.apk (the HTC messaging app). That's why people using secondary sms applications don't get the bug. In the latest ClearDroid beta (1.2.11), a member suggested using the sense 3.0 messaging app, so we tested it and boom! Bug squashed. For everyone. And the base for the Rom is this very build.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inconceeeivable:
Does using the Sense 3.0 app introduce any other issues though? What about just using the app from a European stock ROM or something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
It did not introduce any other issues. And the European mms.apk from stock gingerbread may very well work. I will look into that as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lgluna20:
Hello Wild Child

Thanks for your support

I don’t’ sure if I understand very well your answer because I don’t have too much experience in this topic therefore I would like to make some questions.

According with your answer If I update via stand alone my cellular will not lose the Unlocked, is it correct?

When you mention stand alone is the next procedure

{Manually procedure from AT&T Web page}

Performing the ROM Update:

• Download and save the HTC Inspire 4G™ for AT&T Gingerbread ROM update to your PC.

• Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable. NOTE: You must have HTC Sync installed on your PC in order to run the update.

• On the Connect To PC pop-up on your device, select HTC Sync.

• Once connected to HTC Sync, locate the HTC Inspire 4G™ for AT&T ROM Update that you downloaded and double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.

• Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.

• Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.

• Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.

• Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.

Sorry but I don’t have experience what is OTA? When you mention OTA procedure o something like that what is that ? I have read in some forum OTA procedure but its not clear form me could you help me about it please.

Thanks for your support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inconceeeivable:
Sorry for the dumb question, but if I wanted to swap out the European or Sense 3.0 Mms.apk, would I have to make changes to my frameworks?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
There are no dumb questions. :) and no, it is just plug and play.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inconceeeivable:
Thanks for the reply. Is this possible with an odexed apk?

EDIT: Arghh, still happening with Mms.apk from European ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Run the downloadable .exe from HTC site....you will loose everything on the device except whats on your sd card.

If you do the OTA (Over the Air) Update you will not loose your programs,settings etc...be aware if you do this update there is a known issue with contacts not working correctly afterwards for some people...its a crap shoot...mine has this issue...so I have reverted back to 1.84 rom....

WC
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The issue with messaging is on the RUU too. I verified it on two different Inspires.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Correct...I have tried the ruu....the OTA....same results....Have contacted HTC about this, they said they know of the issue...have to contact ATT also to find out whats their explaination of the problem...rediculous...

WC
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I used the sense 3.0 mms.apk that one of the other xda members located. If needed, you can download the latest ClearDroid 1.2.11 beta and pull it from there. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
The naming issue is caused by facebook syncing with your contacts/people list.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I never signed into (or even opened) Facebook and had the issue. It was not set to sync anything. I don't believe this is correct.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjwitt2:
Need advice...

I want this ROM...the official gingerbread release, but I want it rooted and I can't get it to work.

The "new" hack kit isn't helpful, because it flashes Froyo and the release is an RUU that is locked from HTC. I came into this having S-off, and I still do. I did the "read the effin manual" thing again, so I know what I'm doing... I just want to be able to have a stock AT&T ROM that just so happens to have root access.

If I have overlooked how to do this on this gigantic forum, please provide me a link. If not, can someone steer me in the way of a dev site about it?

Thank you.

The best thing to do with any water damaged phone is to immedietly pull the battery out and stick it in a bowl of dry rice and cover it leave it for 24 hours the rice will draw out the moisture and hopefully phone will work again but usually its best to do this asap the longer the phone sits with liquid in it the more likely there will be damage
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
also just for next time (hopefully there is no) never power back on the device after water gets in it because you could fry something!

do what the post above said then you can power on!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dripz167:
As long as the water tab is another color, they're gonna charge you for a new phone. But as others said, the rice method is your best option.

Hope all goes well, I'd hate to see a Sidekick go like that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I do electronics repair. I mostly work on laptops, but the idea is the same for cell phones. To repair a liquid damaged laptop I fully dismantle it, wash the mainboard with distilled water and a toothbrush, then I wash it again in 99% isopropyl alcohol. After that I place the board somewhere hot to dry. Above a low wattage lightbulb, on top of a heater vent, in a car in the sun, or on the preheater of our IR reflow station have all been used in the past. After it's completely dry I re-assemble the machine.

One of the key things about spill damage is working quickly. A laptop or a cell phone with water in it will often half-work initially. Water is mildly conductive, enough to cause circuits to malfunction. But it's often not conductive enough at the low voltages consumer electronics work at to cause immediate damage. That's why your phone still seems to mostly work in the minutes or hours after a spill.

But what happens if you keep using the device, hoping that it'll get better? Well, water corrodes metals. Aluminum, copper, iron, etc are all used inside our devices, and they'll happily corrode when they get wet. And if you turn the device on, the electricity will cause the corrosion to happen much faster. This build up of corrosion is much more conductive than straight water is. So before you know it, the corrosion will grow so thick on the closely spaced pins of a component that it shorts them together. BOOM! Now it's too late to take it to a professional. It's dead.

So keep that in mind, all of you, if you spill something on your phone, laptop, etc. Pull all power out right away, dry it quickly, and don't give it power again until you're sure it's clean and dry.

BTW, if you're unable to repair the phone, I would be interested in buying the speaker out of it. Mine has a horrible crackle that makes it hard to hear what some people are saying.
