No just asking coz everyone who had updated the XE was complainig about Wi Fi not working. And all over the internet everyone said that in order to work everything on the phone we should make a hard reset after a major update.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr nick:
No problems here. Installed, rebooted and wifi connected straight away.
[HTC Sensation XL] Alsager:
can somebody tell me whats the difference between these updates and the ICS custom ROMS developed by the guys in this forum. i am using 3 muskateers insanely cool sense and very happy with that. also can any body from those who updated to the official ICS post some screen shots for us.
[HTC Sensation XL] djarben:
Not sure if anyone has posted this already but just in case see this everyone,

I hope not till end of june for us in uk or many other countries.

[HTC Sensation XL] louis.b:
No wifi issues here as well. Everything works fine as before.

I dont use the custom rom so I dont know what's the difference between that and the official update. But it looks like the one on HTC vivid so you can youtube it and see what it's like.
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Hows multitasking after the update? Can you switch between browser, maps and 3-4 other apps smoothly without the browser reloading the tabs.
[HTC Sensation XL] louis.b:
No issues at all so far as Im concerned. I think Sense 3.6 is not as aggressive as Sense 4. But I have never needed to multitask on more than 3 apps at one time so I cant say yet. Will report back if i see anything strange. One annoying thing I have noticed is that the folder has a limit on how many apps you can out in it (16 apps). Sense 3.5 didnt have this issue.
[HTC Sensation XL] chrisme14:
I don't think this is an issue. In Sense 3.5 the scolling in folders was very laggy. Now its much besser and stylish ^^
[HTC Sensation XL] louis.b:
I used Go launcher on my phone and sense 3.5 was the most stable one. Crashed the least and scrolling between screens was great too ....
[HTC Sensation XL] 84DGR:
so i have tried downloading the OTA update and everytime i install it it says error half way though, has anyone had this? htc cant even fix the issue
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Can't you download it again?
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Thanks the reply. Any improvements to browser performance and smoothness?
[HTC Sensation XL] pvp26:
looks like EU update might come in first week of June since even in SA its releasing at that time frame.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades in SA
[HTC Sensation XL] louis.b:
Just realized last night that sense 3.6 is prolly just as aggressive as sense 4 in terms of memory management. Whenever I leave a website and go to my homepage, the site will reload when I get back to it. -.- but I can live w that I guess. A bit annoying though.

But they added one cool feature: Crtl + F for web browsing ! God knows how long I have been waiting for this ! lol
[HTC Sensation XL] Kaiser32:
dears,

How to get info from my phone for wich region is my XL and when I will wait for ICS Upgrade ?

for exaple in Samsung when you connect it to Kies there are CSC version info (I mean region info) but I cannot find anything about HTC Sensation XL region info

could someone explain me how to do this ?

thanks

That's really bad news. I was hoping multitask wont be affected. I am happy with the way it is now on GB. But i want those ICS features.
[HTC Sensation XL] 84DGR:
I tried redownloading it, just the same error, flicker.update.zip failed. I think i may have to Rom it
[HTC Sensation XL] louis.b:
Reboot time is super quick now :O. When it first got the phone it booted very quickly but then it took ages to turn on and now it's back to super quick again. Awesome !

C'mon maaaaaaaan someone should hit one video from this update i'm diyin hereeeee :D
[HTC Sensation XL] chrisme14:
But its O2
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
Cant install it. It says reboot, than it boot up into the bootloader and than it happend nothing. Phone is relocked and superuser is deinstalled.. what can i do know? Under Relocked there is a Security Warning...
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Oh boy. Did you had root?

If yes see again that you done everything right. You know what can happen if you haven't relocked it right :(
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
Rootchecker says, i dont have root anyway.. :(
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Have you flashed stock rom?
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
At the moment i have on it my old original o2 backup. Last time i flashed it with bindroids rom. After all, i deinstalled superuser ( root) , flashed the backup with cwm and than locked it with the htcdev.com site.. thats all.. hope you understand..
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yes i do understand you, and i can't see why it isn't working......:(
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
In a other Forum somebody says..

"re-locking your bootloader with a custom rom installed will give you a **security warning!** "

But its a original Backup from my Image..

I cant install this Backup, think to wait for a custom Rom..

Edit: I unlocked the Bootloader again and try to flashed it with CWM but it gives an error...
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
I think Alex-V can point you in the right direction. Or someone from the Musketeers team. They had bricked some devices and i am sure they know what to do ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
If you relock bootloader while device detects custom software. Rom/recovery. Device just formats thoes partitions, just flash a stock ruu from fastboot. As for your CWM problem, check MD5 of rom, make sure its not corrupt.
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
CWM gives me only an Error, if i try to install the update in the CWM option "install zip" If somebody like i can upload an screenshot..

I can install cutom roms without any Problems. I try many Stock Roms too, but nothing runs because the ID doesnt fit on my Device (O2 Brand).. If i start the XL into Bootloader, there isnt any Security Warning. If i press "Recovery" the Bootloader restart and show me the Warning.. Same after i want to install the Update..

I unlock the Bootloader again, format the System, wipe all, install my Backup again, maybe i done something wrong last time, lock the Bootloader, try to install the Update, what i see" Secruity Warning"

I can Upload the File, maybe somebody modifier the File, than i can flash it with an Unlock Bootloader?

Thanx for your help!!!

[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
nice now the official :) ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] msantosm:
Is this for the EU version?
[HTC Sensation XL] dsirunian:
No it seems it is the german version for O2, not the WWE or EU or whatever it would be called
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
the easiest way to make a custom rom of it is to have a system dump of a official ics flashed sxl...like you can read also here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1304071

so if anyone can post a nandroid - backup of the system partition...this would be great.. (only post the file from the system partition - personal data is not included in this)

its all because of the patch files that are in...only rename the abc.apk.p to abc.apk is not enough

with kind regards..Alex
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
its a wwe..only thing that must be patched should be the apn list..and thats easy.....with kind regards
[HTC Sensation XL] dsirunian:
So what can i do to have it installed on my XL? how can i patch the apn list
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
search button :)

http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...arch#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=huge apn list&gsc.page=1

also try first if its ok with the list...also locale from market should work...

but its better to post a dump from the system...to make a custom rom. :)

Hey Alex,

Am tired of waiting for my EU WWE XL ROM,

I just downloaded the O2 DE OTA,

I've removed the CID Check in the script.

is there anything else i should do (or check) before i rename it to update.zip and flash it via fastboot.

I dont need Root or anything and i have everything on stock htc with locked bootloader.

post us a mini guide on this please? so that people like me waiting desporately for the EU update can flash this OTA :)

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation XL] Hoshie:
Ok, got it, installed the Update.. I search in the WWW for an original RUU for O2. Found it on a Chinese Site and installed it, than i update my XL to 4.0..

Hey I'm new to the site so hope not to get shot down in flames for my ignorance (yes i did watch the sign up video).

I have a htc desire hd and am getting realy frustrated at not being able to do use it to its full potential because its not rooted.

I have downloaded the aahk-13012012 tool from this site and have read as much as i can on the subject, problem is I'm getting stuck on a few things i want to do some research before i take the plunge as i cant afford a new phone if i brick this one.

I have looked on this sight and i know im in the right place but its so vast Im getting the needle n haystack feeling. is there any one that can give me a breif explanation of a few of the terms such as "flashing rom or radio" I'm not dumn just new I realy want to root this baby but want to understand what im doing.

And mainl if it does go belly up is there a way to factory reset or recovery option. Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/13/sprint-lte-800mhz/

Anyone else a little disappointed in this?

I know that this complete network overhaul is going to be one of the fastest ever but being as far behind as they are [and will be] it seems like this should be done with the Network Vision roll out, not after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killakarl:
They still have about 6 million people on the frequency and they are cutting 33% of the towers. They also have to get approval from the FCC go use that spectrum for lte. It all can't be an instantaneous process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmchssc:
The problem is that they won't have had time to completely clear the spectrum of Nextel users until late 2013 at the earliest. They've already started the refarming process in some areas so they can start launching 1x-Advanced carriers for improved voice coverage. Voice is still a priority for Sprint, and they can only clear enough spectrum for one or two 1.25 mhz CDMA carriers (vs a 3 or 5 mhz LTE carrier that doesn't do voice) for the time being.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I respect and fully understand the problem but this is a pretty serious situation.

Sprint is already far behind the big two...and actually they're behind T-Mobile and Metropcs too.

How much longer can they afford to delay?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
I guess i can wait. My upgrade isnt until 2014 anyways
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killakarl:
They are still putting out lte on there 1900 band so everywhere their 3g is will be covered with lte. You should head over to s4gru.com or something like that. I've read some articles that put some of my questions at ease.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Yeah was a bit mad when I saw this. If data speeds don't pick up for me by the time my contract comes up for renewal I'm going to Verizon. 2014 is too far away to deal with dial up speeds and closest Wimax tower about 50 miles away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] punwik:
They better pull a rabbit out before sept. Or im jumping ship.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
The 1900 band is better than the 2.5 GHZ band, but it will still have building penetration issues.

I've read that site and I don't think this is a "do or die" situation, but I think getting ALL of this done ASAP is a priority.

Because, no matter what, they are behind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I think people have misunderstood this piece of news. Sprint is still rolling out LTE this year. This is additional LTE to what they are rolling out this year. The addition of 800 mhz LTE is part of network vision, its one if the last pieces.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Correct, but the 800mhz band is what's really going to make the difference and really going to allow better competition with Verizon's 700mhz band.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
photon has a dormant lte radio? you mean the 800mhz portion?

like the evo 3d has?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klbjr:
Sounds good but I doubt many people are gonna run out and waste a upgrade on a Photon with the Galaxy Nexus, EVO 4G LTE and hopefully GS III due out around the same time but whatever happens I hope it happens fast because these data speeds are killing me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
So let me get this right so sprint will not turn on lte untol 2014?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
That's what I wanna know too... And what about the Photons upcoming eol?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
No no no.

LTE will be on as soon as this year in many places.

They will NOT activate the 800mhz band until 2014.

(The 800mhz band is the real game changer for Sprint)

And

THAT

is why I think this needs to be as rushed as possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I too am disappointed. Let me find an article that will explain how stupid Sprint is for wasting money and time. 800 is so much better for signal!!!!

Oh i was about to get all mad about this thanks for clearing that up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
A) There is no mention in the FCC.... which would be needed.

B) http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/201...n-4g-android-smartphone-gets-a-fcc-tear-down/

Count chips. See if it adds up. :p

Also, I just realized they're using my area for the poster child of NV. Let's be hoping. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
Photon definitely does not do LTE. The rep may have said it will work with network vision in that a software update could allow it to change frequencies on the fly as NV will allow. That would be a nice feat on its own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Wow...lol

It's honestly a smarter idea to roll out LTE on higher band first, because it is able to handle more traffic; the initial rush of LTE subscribers will be better accommodated. It would be a nightmare scenario if they deployed 800 first, only to find that metro areas are clogging up, and thereby negating the whole LTE advantage.

Not mention all the people on Nextel? They can't just kick them off immediately. Plus, people have signed 2year Nextel contracts in the last 6 months, so their end of contract will come shortly before this.

It's not a big deal...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Maybe I'm weird, but most places I go have some kind of wifi. Looking at my bill, I used 183mb last month of mobile data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
and an FYI to those of us who are thinking of buying an LTE device, the EVO 3D only supports LTE in the 1900 band, not 800mhz. It will do voice and EVDO Data in 800 but not LTE..

The device better have a great screen and external audio or im passing on it and seeing what Samsung has to offer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
So basically Sprint is going to be mired in a myriad of devices as time goes by. Initial LTE phones like the Galaxy Nexus would do LTE on 1900mhz and i guess future devices would either be dual LTE 1900/800 for when the switch over to 800mhz happens in 2014.

So where does the Clear 2.5ghz LTE spectrum come into play at all? Is it even worth Sprint bothering with?

Is it that come 2014 when they've pushed the chirpers off Nextel's 800mhz band that their whole LTE network is going to be on 800mhz or a combination of 800 and 1900 depending on market?

I really fear for Sprint's LTE future seeing how far behind they really are, and how convoluted their future strategy seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Ya, I'm going to be waiting too. I'm guessing the S3 will take advantage of both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Sprint employee here...can I clarify please?

Sprint is running LTE on 1900mhz g-block, a 10mhz chunk totally clear of traffic today, with a nationwide license. This means that the LTE coverage will mirror 3G coverage eventually.

On top of that, Sprint has roughly 14-18mhz of ESMR (800mhz) spectrum allocated for iDEN users. As that network gets sunsetted, the spectrum will be repurposed for 1xAdvanced, which will allow 4x the capacity for voice calls and 1x data.

Each one of the Network Vision sites will be upgraded with significantly enhanced backhaul, which will provide great 3G and LTE speeds. Granted, Sprint will deploy LTE on a 5x5 configuration, v.s. Verizon which is doing 10x10, or AT&T, who is trying to do 10x10 wherever possible. Difference being, with Network Vision, Sprint is upgrading each cell site, requiring a single truck roll, not an "overlay" like Verizon.

If you look at Verizon's LTE deployment, they are basically adding LTE radios and equipment to their existing sites. Sprint is upgrading their existing site and installing equipment which can run on any frequency, with any spectrum, with any technology. In theory, you'll get LTE coverage exactly the same as 3G coverage, so it will be consistent across the board.

Along with that, there is also LTE rev10 or LTE Advanced, which does spectrum bonding, which will allow a device to use both the 5x5 1900mhz and 5x5 800mhz, for LTE. Much faster speeds with existing equipment.

If you think about it, a device term/contract is 2 years, so you won't be upgrading your phone for at least 20 months, which means any device you purchase today will take full advantage of Network Vision, including LTE. Hell, even our Epic Touchs will get a faster data speed and increased coverage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Wait the Evo 3D can do LTE? I've heard about the Photon maybe being able but never about the Evo3D.. Damn are phones came out after those two phones and we know for sure we don't have LTE. We couldve at least got the same treatment to keep us happy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Even if we can't take advantage of the full lte capabilities, 3g speeds should be waaay better than they are now and better than our "4g" Wimax speeds once NV is rolled out in your area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
hey deval.. i remember you from my sprintuser days ;)

anyway.. as for your reference to the epic touch... does it support the ESMR band? looking thru fcc documents.. it didnt seem to support the higher 800mhz freq like the Evo 3D does.

orr are you just getting at the fact we'll benefit fro the improved backhaul and added cell locations?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbuggydroid:
This overhaul is going to be awesome in the end. I was listening to last Thursdays Android central podcast and Mickey (the cellphone junkie) was saying very good things about sprints lte and what they are doing with network vision. I've already seen better 3g speeds here in Des Moines.

Also sprint updating their equipment, not just adding, is going to benefit us and them. Be patient guys. LTE is still in it's infancy. Just look at how many times Verizon had blackouts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
3G Rev A maxes out at around 3.1mbps or so, so no, it wont be faster than average 4G Wimax speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Well i kind of know that. But what i meant is does it have a rumored built in lte chip like the supposed photon. And i doubt itll be better than my wimax speed. I live in hartford ct and clearwire is pretty big out here. I get three bars even inside my house and my speeds top out at 12mbps and the lowest being 6. But i always average in the high scores :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Oh, my bad... So the 3g speeds even when fully upgraded will only get to about 3mbps? :( at least that's better than my mostly nonexistent 4G...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
With all due respect, unless you're downloading large files, you're not going to see a difference between 3mbps and "4g" speeds.

There's absolutely nothing you cannot do with your phone at 3mbps.

That includes HD movie streaming and video conferencing etc etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I get it, it'll be fine for most things, but having faster speeds is never a bad thing either :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Having your "support network" (I suppose that's how we can refer to what the 3g network will be) being capable of doing everything a user truly needs is very significant.
