WiFi & BT not working

After OTA update WiFi & BT are not working anymore. When I try to turn them on it says error. :(

Any idea? Can I reinstall update? Also tried a recovery but red exclamation sign appeared.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
I measured the time to charge my battery from completely empty (after update).

This took about 2 hrs 45 minutes.

I don't think this is much different to what I had before the update.

Importantly, the whole phone stays cool throughout the charge, so I don't think that it is actually overcharging.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Mine is charged in 3:20
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
.....reset the BT WiFi you can do this by sending a text as "Wi-Fi" to 2121....this should help for BT
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
Hi guys I got the update loaded for about a month now and had no power menu problem.This afternoon I was charging my DS not power off and with wi-fi on as I had many times.It was pluged for a few hours maybe 3 I noticed the green light so I unplugged it.Guess what my power menu has disappeared!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a solution to this??????????
[HTC Desire S] MTB75:
Go to settings>security and tick use secure credentials. Works for me.
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works just fine!You saved me a hard reset!

WHAT ?!?! Mine charges in about 1:30 - 2 hours ......... though it does get a bit hot.

New update

Hello people I have some good news.

HTC Greece told me that a new FOTA update will be send (at least for Greece) next week to face all the bugs(power menu etc etc) that came together with the Sense 3.0 update.
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:
that's good .. :D
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
I have an incredibly slow connection but was able to try out three scenarios. The combination which worked seemed to:

- neglect whether you're S-ON or S-OFF

- require returning to stock ROM

- most importantly, having stock recovery. Every major official update I tried without stock recovery would simply stop partway.
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
Can any one tell me the q standard edition benchmark score after the official update to sense 3....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Think its a round 1100-1200 (based on peoples reports)
[HTC Desire S] Andrius.21:
Just got a call from HTC Romania in which they told that a new update will be released shortly to fix the power button issue reported.

What shortly means I have no clue but at least they admitted that there is a bug.
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
I am getting around 1450 to 1550 on stock rom 2.3.3....
[HTC Desire S] jm89:
I get between 1500-1600 on stock rom.

I got from 1600-1915 max on stock rom its not rooted or overclock . Just a stock phone sense 3.0 android 2.3.5
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
Superb buddy....
[HTC Desire S] newdamage:
Hello, I'm new here, but I've been drifting in and out of these threads for a few months. I'm in the same boat as some others, in that I have software version 1.27 still, having never received the update to v1.47. I fear that because of this I won't receive this update at all.

I bought the phone at the start of release (in fact, before the official release) from Carphone Warehouse, but it unbranded, as I purchased it without contract and SIM-free. I don't know if it matters, but my SIM is TalkTalk which I got a year earlier.

I'm unrooted and fairly certain that I'm also S-ON too, as I've not looked to turn it off. I'm just wondering if it is possibly to manually update myself (without having to root), and if so, is there an easy to follow guide around? Also, if I did do this (or if I received the OTA), will it reset my phone to factory settings?

Cheers to all.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
You certainly can mate. Look at the sticky threads for how to update via RUU
[HTC Desire S] newdamage:
Cheers for the reply. I've tried the method of putting the ZIP on on my sdcard (both as 'update.zip' and the full title) and then booting with the volume key held down, then going into recovery and selecting update, but I get an error and nothing happens. Would it make a difference that my battery life was about 20%?

I ask that because running the update .exe on my PC says that my battery should be 30% or more. The PC method also says that it'll erase all my data. I've backed up contacts & texts anyway so should be fine, but I was curious if the other method keeps app data etc. intact.

Thanks.

Just installed new OTA update 2.10.401.8, size 6,9mb system update.

Installed sucessfully, new sense linkedin plugin and some widget.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
For all of you that has not received the OTA update notification yet.

Until today I had a 1.47 version and the check from the settings was telling me that "the software is up to date".

After a chat with the HTC online support (Chinese, but in English) I changed my system date to 22.09.2011. The update notification came straight after this. Enjoy :)

EDIT: my serial number is HT13VTJ23084, European unbranded
[HTC Desire S] Lucifix:
I can confirm that I've received update, but sadly the same error again:

h t t p :// imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/dsc01182t.jpg/
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You have to be complete Stock, including S-ON.

If your HBoot is a custom version (e.g. 6.98.0002) then most probably this is the cause of the verification failure

What I did was to restore my S-OFFed and customized system to complete Stock version 1.28.x.x via the corresponding RUU. Then I received the 1.47 update which installed fine and today, after the procedure described in my previous post I had the new OTA notification. I will upgrade at home, because the file for download is too big :)

EDIT: the update went smooth, no errors
[HTC Desire S] Lucifix:
My Desire S is from the beginning S-ON and not rooted.

H-BOOT version is 0.89.0002

new update on telenor serbia 2.10.401.8
[HTC Desire S] courghan:
The Time change trick doesn't work for me unfortunately...HTC UK advised to try setting the date to 2012 too but still no update pushed. I am in Ireland, S-ON and fully stock on 1.28..never received the 1.47 update either but I guess because that was pulled off.
[HTC Desire S] pegas73:
I confirm receipt of the same update (O2 Czech Republic). Apart the said new HTC Hub widgets and plugins no apparent change/improvement in performance. Unfortunately a bug I reported http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340588 still there remains.

It doesn't work for Asian phones though. Just tried it and didn't show any notification. Can someone explain this?

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I am not sure that there is an official update for Asian region yet. There was a news thread in the General forum where a guy said that this update will come at the beginning of December. But you can always ask here, in the Customer Service field at the bottom of the page -> Contact Us -> Chat To Us, like I did.
[HTC Desire S] courghan:
It doesn't work on my phone which was bought in Ireland either...maybe the patch has to be released for the areas for this push trick to work.

OTA Update

Didnt work for me set time to 22/9/11 and still nothing T-Mobile supplied handset on Orange anyone else have any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
Unbranded but no update

Seems like the OTA update was released a month or two ago, but I haven't got it (like some others here).

I have a unbranded stock HTC Desire S from Amazon UK.

Android 2.3.3

Sense 2.1

Software 1.28.401.1

I have tried "Check for updates". Also tried spoofing the date to a couple of months ago and a year in the future. Also tried some weird *#*# code too.

Is there some way of forcing the OTA update?

Is there a file I can download and flash to the phone (using my Apple Mac, I don't have a PC)?
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
Update available in Greece too.

Sadly enough the power menu bug remains......

I think this is the most serious bug and somehow they managed to create a new update to "fix" bugs and they didnt do anything about the most serious bug....

Oh I sure will take it up with HTC Greece tommorow!:mad:
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Go to settings menu, then security, then disable saving logins and clear memory. For me, it working
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Check back through this thread, but if unbranded you should be able to flash the European RUU once downloaded (along with HTC Sync.) Takes 10 mins and perfectly safe. I speak from experience - my DS was exactly the same.
[HTC Desire S] newdamage:
I got impatient and decided to use the RUU program on PC. Everything works fine. Obviously a little disappointed that it deleted my personal data, but I back up texts anyway. I do love the lock screen and the screenshot feature is finally here (hold power, press home). Wish I could mix and match features of Sense 2.1 and 3.0. Much prefer the swipe to answer/decline calls as well as text messages and a break in the display between days from Sense 2.1, as well as the larger non-static wallpaper.

I had hoped that this would correct the contact image syncing problem as well as the Facebook/Skype/Last.fm options when clicking of a contact's photo with people.
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
Hello people.

I just talked to HTC Greece about the power menu bug that remains even after the latest update 2.10.401.8 and they told me that they are aware of this and another update (the 3rd!!!!) will be coming soon to fix the problem.

To my question as for when to expect to get this 3rd update they replied that they dont have any info for this yet from HTC mother company but they know that this will happen soon.....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Try disabling 'automatic network time'

Then change it manually
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
Tried it no update....tried all possible dates ....maybe cause of no update in Asia...
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:
I Contacted HTC Middle East .. After Asking Me My Software Number [1.47.415.1] He Told Me That I Have The Original Software And I Will Receive The Update .. But In A Few Weeks .. So If You Wanna Know If You Will Receive This Update Just Chat With The Support [Any Region] & Give Them Your SN & Software Number They Will Be Able To Assist More
[HTC Desire S] courghan:
I also got tired of waiting and flashed using the RUU/PC method. All went well and I really like the update so far. I just have two doubts about the flash that someone may be able to clarify:

1) After setting up the google account, some of my apps did show up as "not installed" and had to manually install them one by one, this never happened after a factory reset. Why?

2) Will I now be able to receive future OTA updates after having flashed the stock RUU rom?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Yes, no problem with future updates.

Don't know why some apps did not show, unless maybe there were on the SD card?
[HTC Desire S] courghan:
that may be it...I had moved some apps on the SD card a few days ago and they could have been the ones that did not install automatically.

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ad8yaa:
Yes

Yes. The RUU is an older way of updating for htc phones(before OTA updates).
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
talked to customer service in India, no updates at their end.
[HTC Desire S] Razr85:
Yeah, well the only way someone posted long ago to deal with it is to check: Use secure credentials from settings menu.

If you have it on - disable it and enable again.

Then the power menu will be back on.
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
No idea how you do this from an Apple Mac. Can't seem to find equivalent.

I spoke to HTC in the UK today. They say that 33,000 mobiles get the update every month and it's done by IMEI number. My phone was manufactured in March 2011 and they haven't got there on the list yet.

He suggested removing the batt for 1 minute and checking and also setting the date 2 months ahead. Neither worked.

He also said the OTA update was for Sense 3.5 and Android 2.3.5.
[HTC Desire S] A_Life_of_Chaos:
I asked Three UK about the update and got this reply:

Not very informative, but it's something.
[HTC Desire S] sajidfiaz:

My Desire S still S-ON, not rooted and having Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3. I recommend SimpleGoldCard tool. You don't have to use cmd prompt.

You flashed older ROM. Latest RUU is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe

Hi guys,

I just have for few days the Desire S and I was expecting to have the upgrade to sense 3.0.

Here is my phone info:

Android version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense version: 2.1

Software number: 1.28.401.1

If I check for updates I get the message: "Your phone is up to date". Could you help me how to update the phone? it is S-OFF

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] starsurge:

[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:

I think you are in the same position I was in. I have a unbranded HTC Desire with no modifications (so I think it is/was s-on, whatever that means, but I think you need to be s-on)

Look at this thread. I think you need to download the first round of updates (as I was directed to). Once this is done HTC servers wake up and give you the next update over WIFI.

Oddly, I just git an update, after I manually updated with the RUU. I don't know what changed because evrything seems the same and it was only about 3mb in size. Probably just a couple fixes (though I don't think I've encountered any problems anyway.)

Has anyone received this update on Vodafone UK firmware version 1.32.161.1?

Thanks,

ozfozzie

EDIT: Don't worry, I found a RUU that updated my phone to 1.32.161.2, and then received all the OTA updates through that... now downloading the latest sense 3.0 one.
[HTC Desire S] newdamage:
I should point out I updated via RUU two or three weeks ago, but got this mini update today.

I bought the phone sim free from Carphone Warehouse and used my current sim in it, so I assume its not branded.

The sim I use is TalkMobile, which runs on Vodafone masts.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
And what is your software version now? (Settings -> About phone -> Software Info)
[HTC Desire S] Lotusx:
The same happened to me as amidabuddha, I updated with the RUU with no problems and now recieved this miniupdate of 3Mb. I am also running an unbranded Desire S.

It offered an update to Android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0, which I already have due to the RUU update.

Before installation, it actually revealed itself as 6.79Mb.

Installation itself did not take long, maybe five minutes?

Then it claimed that my phone has just been updated to 2.10.401.8 ( which is a 0.00.000.4 improvement over the RUU :P )
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:
the RUU works on Non-European Devices ?
[HTC Desire S] Isteban:
It seems not.

My software version is 1.47.720.1 and I can't update it with RUU.

Any thouhts how to update my device? :(
[HTC Desire S] ad8yaa:
Ofcourse not! RUU's are supposed to be for different regions, because they include the os as well as the radio update.
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:

[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
Goldcard

Yeah just use the goldcard method - SO EASY! ( basically you just format an SD card in such a way that when you run any RUU for desire s, it skips the CID check, so therefore u can install any carriers ROM. Also to help, download GoldCard Helper from android market on ur phone, helps with this.

I have/ 'had' a virgin mobile desire s, but once doing goldcard (10 mins!) now its an unlocked generic Europe one, no splash screen, or bloatware.

No regrets

I've got an Asian Desire S that is Revolutionary S-OFF and rooted, just got the Sense 3.0 OTA update and having the same issue when trying the update (orange exclamation and blue android robot on boot). From what I've read it's not possible to do the update this phone in it's current state? Will it work with S-ON?
[HTC Desire S] gjj1056:
Got the same problem, although mine is unrooted and S-Off. I downloaded the new OTA and it installed with no problems (no orange/red exclamation icons)... But the problem is that after installing, it gets stuck at the white screen with HTC logo. Never boots up, I even left it to run for more than an hour. What do you guys think? Should being S-On help this?

I installed my previous RUU just to use my phone, tried updating it again through OTA and still the same problems. I tried all the recovery and factory reset methods, didn't work. I even reformatted my SD card.
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
Well, you need to Unroot and get back S-ON before you apply OTA.

I asked this question here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402544

New update for HTC Desire S is awesome....

And I found a new feature...to take a screenshot of your screen without root...

Just press and hold power botton and at the same time press the home botton below...

It takes a screenshot of the current screen and saves it in your gallery...

Awesome feature....

And there is also a new Bluetooth version 3.0 in the new update (earlier it was version 2.1 and transfer speeds were very slow)...but now it has increased your Bluetooth performances like great transfer speeds and connectivity...
