Yes :D I was in installed apps and scrolling very fast is now very smooth (no slowdowns). Other then that I can't see any changes :/
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
to all those owners who have updated to 2.3.4.

Please report if you notice any improvement in the app drawer scrolling speed.

i have my fingers crossed that this would fix it.

1. Has anyone in the US attempted to flash the file with their unrooted S-ON and what was the result?

2. Did they lose their wifi calling ability if the update went through?

Thanks!

i update now in greec to 2.3.4 now ... i will upload the zip... here

update: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14165472/OTA_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2_release_208907g5uh7vz2hurkpjkl.zip

For those that have the new update, does HTC Sense still keep reloading after a heavy app/browsing?
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
how can i install it in recovery it says error code 7 something with CID 11111 00000?
[HTC Sensation] plocri:
multiple orgasms here, that's the update I've been waiting for! sense is really smooth now and feels a lot faster than 2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] dextroz:
So, no 'Sense' reloads anymore?
[HTC Sensation] plocri:
I had sense reload only one time with 2.3.3, when after installed all my apps I moved them from sd to internal memory. I can play angry birds, cut the rope, web browsing, skype, epinephrine and sense doesn't reload...
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
There's a hell of a lot more to this patch than just the firmware.zip.

If you look at the updater-script in the META-INF\com\google\android directory, line 3054 is ..

write_firmware_image("PACKAGE:firmware.zip", "zip")

You'll have missed out 3053 lines of apk patches just flashing the firmware zip!

Some interesting stuff in that updater script.
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
what about the touchscreen scroll speed ? any improvements?

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Another interesting thought - can you take the latest OTA update zip and replace the HBOOT version 18 within it with the version 17 from the last RUU, or even remove the boot stuff altogether, then apply the update so you go up to 2.3.4 but not the latest locked HBOOT?
[HTC Sensation] plocri:
it was pretty good, now seems a little more responsive especially in web browsing ;)
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
i use the firmware zip so i would get back to stock recovery without loosing all my data and apps then i use the OTA zip renamed as update to do the update
[HTC Sensation] lamecake:
Try SuperCID from the development section. Perpahs CID (vendor identification or whatever its called) does not match.

Good luck
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
From the updater script, looks like the CID needs to be one of...

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,

"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,

"77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__E11" ,

S-OFF & SuperCID

I have a previously Vodafone-branded phone, simlock-free, and using Revolutionary I got S-OFF and set SuperCID, then flashed an unbranded RUU. I did *not* root and I have the standard 1.35.401.1 with stock bootloader.

I'm not seeing an OTA yet (Netherlands), and wondering if anyone with S-OFF and SuperCID has received it. If not, is there a way to receive it?

p.s. I'm not interested in rooting and/or modded ROMs, I just want an unbranded phone.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Ok, so reading chrisw99's post (a couple of posts previous), SuperCID 11111111 should work.

Will S-OFF matter? I presume not, but I haven't seen anyone with S-OFF receiving the OTA...
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You will stay S-OFF BUT won't actually be S-OFF - and it will say *** LOCKED *** on the HBOOT as I think it's the new HTC one so they can tell if you're unlocked or not
[HTC Sensation] w3by:
People who have managed to update your phones and are on S-OFF - you just downloaded and installed the update or did some restoration stuff before that?

I can't get mine to update (I have S-OFF and root, if it matters)... don't really care about S-OFF and all that stuff, I just want it to update with OTA, can't be bothered with restoring apps and settings and all that, so any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] nikola987:

[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:

[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
not even tmous phones are not effected with random reboots thats what tech support told me on the phone,and that tmobile didnt ask for a update we have to wait for them to request the update from htc
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
any1 know what the hell is this?:-s i wrote cid to HTC_001.. any other 11111111 or 00000000 doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
According to chrisw99's post (Today, 05:26 PM), 11111111 should work. HTC_001 doesn't look right... perhaps you're missing a "_"?

And the assert appears to refer to the model of phone. Do a Google on "PG5813000".
[HTC Sensation] veper:
I've run new OTA and my HBOOT is now also 1.18.0000 and says *** LOCKED *** (this is new) and S-OFF (same as before the OTA).

I was however able to install clockworkmod recovery without problems via PG58IMG.zip and root the phone normally through cwm.

Not sure why I got different result than you... Could it be that I've had ENG HBOOT from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14679070&postcount=1 flashed before the OTA?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Did you receive it as an OTA, or did you download it and apply it?
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
sorry i am HTC__001 with 2 underscores, i can't write model id from PG5810000 to PG5813000 ... is this possible with fastboot? cuz gives me INFO ERR command error
[HTC Sensation] veper:
Received it as an OTA.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Thanks. I was only interested in debranding (S-OFF to be able to flash a stock unbranded ROM), which I've already done. So I just set S-ON again to avoid inconsitencies, and I suppose now I just have to be patient for the update... Patience is not a virtue I have completely mastered ;-)
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I don't know, but you sound a bit lost (no offence) so you might be safer just reflashing a stock ROM before you brick your phone. Just a thought.

[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
I think it says locked because they're readying the unlock bootloader tool, just as an indication so that when you unlock it via HTC's tool it will indicate Unlocked.

So to sum up the new OTA is currently released in europe only? that is x.xx.401.x?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
not got it

Just curious: I haven't got the update yet. Are there others in The Netherlands who have an unbranded Sensation but NOT yet received the update?
[HTC Sensation] bgoedhart:
I'm getting crazy over this. My Sensation was originally Vodafone branded. I have used the revolution tool to get S-Off and flashed the HTC stock rom. I didn't get the update all day. Now I read the update won't reveil itself to S-off devices so I just put my device back to S-ON but still no update. I also used SuperCID to remove the Vodafone CID. All this hasn't done any good.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I have *exactly* the same situation.

I've downloaded the update via this site, but I don't want to apply it right now... I want to see if the phone gets the OTA normally. I think it will, just a question of waiting until the update server is ready to dish it out (I suspect it doesn't roll it out to everyone in the country at the same time, to prevent overloading). According to a previous post, the SuperCID 11111111 is accepted by the update script.

I believe it's just a matter of patience... :-)

[HTC Sensation] bgoedhart:
Thanks for sharing. I don't have patience :P
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Neither do I.

Ok, how about willpower? :-S

I would apply the upgrade I've downloaded, but I *really* want to see if the OTA arrives properly. If I don't have it by tomorrow morning (hmmm... will I stay up all night? ;-)) then I'll apply the upgrade manually.

Because ALL some of us want is to de-brand our phone (get rid of bloatware, startup logos, etc.). Once that's done, we want to continue with the regular unbranded OTAs.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Well, if you are rooted and you update, you will lose root. Furthermore, you will not be able to get it back with Revolutionary, because the new HBOOT is not supported.
[HTC Sensation] vwbest16:
I have the same problem

I upgrade with this process:

How to Install OTA:

1. Download OTA file

2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip)

3. Put on root of SD card

4. Boot phone into HBOOT

5. Select recovery

6. When at the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

7. Select 'install update.zip from SD card'

8. Press power to select

exist some does solution?

[HTC Sensation] roose21:
I have a completely stock unbranded UK Sensation, no s-off, no root... How would I update using the update.zip?

Not a complete noob but would appreciate some advise.
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
I did it earlier today. From memory...

Put the update.zip onto your sdcard

In the phone power settings, turn off fast boot

Power off the phone

Power on the phone with the VOL DOWN key pressed. Should take you to the bootloader

Select "recovery"

You then get some kind of picture on a black background. At this point, press VOL UP and power. You'll get the recovery menu.

In the recovery menu, one of the choices is apply update. Select it, choose the update.zip from your sdcard, and away you go.

Does a few things, then will say Press power off to reboot or something. When you do this it writes the firmware.zip before rebooting. Then it seems to take a while, a couple of strange images appear with progress bars. Just be patient and leave it till the phone comes back as normal.

Someone may correct me if I got any of that wrong, but I think that's what I did..
[HTC Sensation] roose21:
Legend! Thank-you!

Edit: OK... Tried this 3 or 4 times now... Everytime I get to the recovery and select 'apply update from SD' it just reboots itself?? Any ideas? Is it better/safer to just wait for OTA?

But.... I want it now!!
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:

probably more suited to the Q&A thread, but i'm interested in this too. Orange have snarfed enough of my money, they ought to do it for free. I'm currently battling with them, will let you know if I manage to get it done.

A side note, is your contract up and you cant choose a phone? most people prob know this but pay as you go deals are shocking. i was going to switch to payg and wait for the next gen of phones - oranges pay as you go offers are totally ****e. instead i asked to be put on a rolling contract, now i pay £14.90 get 500 mins, unlimited text and 500mb. as opposed to £10 a month for 100 mins + 100 texts...no brainer. Tho i did have to speak to 3 or 4 different people before they understood. regardless, my bill has halved and all i've lost is unlimited data and 100 mins. not bad as i was told i used 83mb last month. great to live in an area without 3G.

Hi,

I use the same ROM & radio, and with the stock battery the device easily lasts a couple of days (depending on usage of course). So I'd also say your battery may need a replacement.

I'd go for an official/stock one.
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:

is this good?
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
@Mickeystar

hi,

your problem is definatly your battery, trust me ;)

ebay is probably your best bet for a new battery, but like gummbah30 said, its best to get an official/original battery.

("original/official anything" is always better than the cheep copied-crap :))

when you get your new battery:

*PUT BATTERY IN DEVICE

*KEEP DEVICE OFF (do not turn device on!)

*CHARGE UNTILL FULL (green LED when done)

*DONE :)

#this is so the battery has a full charge before being used, in the past ive bought a new battery and turned the device on straight away - within minuates the battery was DEAD and totally unusable - a dud and a waste of money.

this is why i tell people to charge while device is off!
[Touch HD General] afn691:
You'll find some interesting data in http://batteryuniversity.com/ about why your battery overheats and what happens with it. (It's related to a vendor, I don't know whom, but the info is very good for everyone)

I'm using a Cameron Sino on my Kaiser and it's running very well, but, as you've been told, it's better if you can obtain an original battery. My Blackstone battery also overheats when doing some full-CPU activities so I'll need a new battery soon.

I don't know what's inside the batts, I heard something about chips which communicate with the device, and thus, an original battery will have true info while others will send/receive different data. (But in this, I don't know if I'm mistaken)

If so please tell me the procedure.

Well you can install cyanogenmod onto your s5830 , when I had 7.2 I don't think I had any bugs. The best way to put it on there for me is if your phone is rooted and u have cwr (which u should have anyway) just download the cm7.2 zip, put it on your SD card, go into clockwork recovery , factory reset, clear casch, install zip from SD, find the zip file and press yes ,wait... and when it reboots it should be done
