It is sprint's idea to try and offload as many users from their network as possible. Which if it automatically selected the best network. IE wiFi or WiMax then they are not hammering their network as hard.

I notice it doesn't have a full change log. Is there going to be radio updates? Hboot? Looking down the list none of the updates show these, when they were added.
[EVO 4G General] oldtennisguy:
only for non rooted phones ????

so when will the devs add this to their roms
[EVO 4G General] Firehawk_1066:
I hope they update android and/or sense.....I know they didnt state that in the update notes but back in January when we got 2.3.5 that wasnt in the notes either.

So I'm hoping for a surprise to hold me over until my upgrade in November
[EVO 4G General] ca1ne:
I would suspect that it only has the sprint optimizer, which really is just a way to offload consumption on their cell towers..
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
Just curious did anyone receive this update yet?
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
Anyone gotten this update yet?
[EVO 4G General] txnolesfan93:
I have checked my wife's and daughters evo and no update yet.

I need to get my hands on that OTA zip . . . I wish I'd get the update already!! :eek:
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
Are there any developers who have gotten this update? I would love to see rooted version of this rom.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
If there were, I'm sure we'd know. All I know is I haven't gotten it :(. And I'm bored, so I really wish I did have it :rolleyes:.
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
+1 Sprint is taking a long time for this update.
[EVO 4G General] Firehawk_1066:
I Finally got it this morning (South Florida)
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Are you rooted? Can you upload a copy for us? What all did it change?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just checked, and I got it too. Uploading a copy of the OTA file shortly.

EDIT 2: FYI - No new firmware (radio, PRI) included.

EDIT 3: Link is live! Note that this OTA file has not been modified in any way. Just uploading so it's available for Devs to use.
[EVO 4G General] grayn0de:
Thanks! I've been wanting to get a look at this. :D

Phooey, I keep getting a corrupted download, have to wait and try it on wifi at home. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Did you try downloading from my link?

I posted a new thread with the download and install instructions in this same forum (didn't want the link to get lost):

[OTA] 5.07.651.1 Update (ZIP DOWNLOAD INSIDE!)

I also just finished putting together a stock rooted full ROM version of the 5.07.651.1 update. I guess that I'll have to post over in the Development forum (even though it truly is not development) :rolleyes:.
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
Is the link above for the rom or just the update file?
[EVO 4G General] greengiant1969:
Oops I'm rooted don't want that have to wait to rom comes out sorry.

Ask and you shall receive :D

[ROM] 5.07.651.1 Stock - Rooted - Latest Supersonic OTA
[EVO 4G General] Firehawk_1066:
No I am not rooted.....yet

One thing I noticed is that I have an extra 35-40 mb of free space after this update so I think something got uninstalled. Also the update said there was a critical security update included but that is all that was specified. This is not stated in the change log posted on the sprint forums so I'm not sure what the security update is nor do I know what was uninstalled to give me all this extra space.
[EVO 4G General] sparkfly88:
Optimized connection huh....

Too bad 4g isn't anywhere near me...and I only turn WiFi on when I am around it.......

Ruu 5.07.651.1

hello there anyone have an RUU 5.07.651.1 htc evo 4g?:)
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I'm certain I've answered you in at least two other places, and the answer is still the same - no, it hasn't been leaked yet.

Is there a particular reason you need it? Why can't you use the rooted full ROM based on the OTA or the OTA file itself?
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
The OTA file does not work with a stock recovery on an unrooted phone. They rigged the newer Hboots to not accept manual OTA updates. It works well through a custom recovery.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I've tried it, and it seems to work fine.

Just name the file "update.zip" and put it on the root of the SD card. I have full instructions in my OTA thread, in fact.

EDIT: Maybe later I'll unroot and confirm I'm not crazy, but I know I've done it before - in fact, I tested it before I posted the instructions on how to do it (so I could make sure I got it right).

EDIT 2: My apologies, shortydogg - you are correct. I unrooted and tried to apply an update zip, and Recovery tells me it's an "invalid operation". Odd that the menu option is even there, for that matter.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
That's ok. I just wanted to point that out and for you to confirm it. It's been like that since Gingerbread Hboot 2.16. Froyo and Eclair unrooted Hboots work fine.

[Xperia Arc General] king-iyokan:
If you really want something then go and unlock your bootloader from here unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

Then decide what you really want ICS or GB. I would suggest ICS but some features like camcorder and some others dont work properly.

You can find some ROMs in the android development section. Read the posts and decide what you actually want.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
is it possible to update baseband on this phone?

my phone was shipped with 0.15 and i think thats why i've been having the wifi issues. (rebooting nonstop anytime i connect to wifi)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Is there a newer version than 0.15 ?? I havent seen it..

And at the moment its not possible to flash radios with S-ON it can brick your phone. If you get it via an OTA update you will be ok
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
all the T-MO demo units we have in my store are on 0.16

i've been tempted to exchange it, btu since it's been rooted i'm holding back because i dont want to pay the out of warranty fee.
[HTC One S] dc211:
There has been at least 1 update but I think it went out before the phone launched. I picked up my phone on launch day with a 0.16 base band. Another user on this forum reported getting an OTA to the latest (current) build of 1.53.531.16 which I assume also updated the base band to 0.16

You could try a manual check in by dialing *#*#2342546#*#* in case your wondering 242546 spells "checkin"
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
Unfortunately i'm not on the stock ROM anymore so that isn't an option.

After doing a bit of research, it seems like the only way to get the baseband update would be for me to somehow revert to the prerelease TMO ROM, then wait for the OTA that was sent out to the prerelease devices which has the baseband update included.

Which is basically impossible, because no one is going to be running that prerelease ROM right now.

:(

So i'm basically clueless at this point. probably just going to see if i can warranty swap it through HTC and hope they don't care about the bootloader being tampered.

Any input from anyone is definitely appreciated!
[HTC One S] dc211:
Your in luck! Someone has provided you with a method to do this.

Check this thread for your solution. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644371
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
thanks man i saw that! but i need something similar for the t-mo US ROM.

i'd have to find a prerelease ROM, then wait for the OTA to the release version.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Once the base band is updated you could flash a stock rom or even restore your own personal back up. The international phones use the same chips as the TMOUS phones. How come you don't want to update it if your having problems?
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
I definitely want to update, but I doubt i'll receive the OTA to update the baseband since i'm on TMO US..

Looking through the thread looks like no US people have tried. I might give it a shot just for kicks. Hopefully it works.

edit - it looks like it definitely won't work if you're on TMO US, because the update has not been pushed out through TMO's servers. The update comes from the carriers, not HTC directly.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
anyway problem solved.

ended up getting a replacement from HTC. should be fine.

edit - LOL the replacement came with 0.15 baseband and the kernel from march 29th. retail release versions came with a april 6th kernel and 0.16 baseband.

now i'm clueless. just wait a couple weeks and maybe process another exchange.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
haha well my replacement phone came....

still had the same 0.15 baseband as the original pre-release version.

i assumed the replacement would be updated, apparently i was wrong. I might just hang onto this one for a month or so without rooting or unlocking the baseband just in hopes they push an OTA to update my baseband.

Do i let the phone shut off from the battery reaching 0%, then charge it to 100% and be on my merry way?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
I've read multiple theories, but I think u should take it down out of the box, then shut off and charge to full...I remember ASUS recommending that to a media outlet when the Transformer 300 came out a few weeks ago...so that is what I am going to do when I get mine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:
Thats exactly what I did, I let mine completely die and then charged to 100%.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valdeck:
Be careful with how you charge the phone, rather with how low you let it get.

Depending on how technical you want to get about it purposefully letting a battery drop to absolute zero can cause some odd chemical reactions that while not immediately evident can some times shorten battery life.

I would recommend taking it out of the box and using it until it is low but not dead. Maybe 10 or so percent and then either turn it off and charge it or leave it on and charge it just do not pull the plug on the charger until it is at 100%.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
This.

Full battery cycles are not good for long term life of Li ion batteries.

Also, its unlikely, but occasionally happens where discharging the battery to shutoff will render the battery unable to take a charge. The safety circuit on the battery is supposed to prevent this, but its not failsafe. I've seen more than a few reports on previous HTC devices where this happened. And since the battery on the One X is not easily replaced, the result can be disastrous.

The battery meters on phones are not very accurate in the best of circumstances. No need to drain to shutoff, 10 or 20% is fine. No value added to draining to shutoff, and the consequences can be very bad.

Drain to 10% or even 20%, charge to full, repeat 2-3 times. This is done just to calibrate the battery meter on the phone. Its a misconception that you can somehow increase battery life by "conditioning" the battery. But modern Li ion batteries do not suffer from memory effects, and conditioning only works for older tech NiCad batteries.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
I do the same thing for all of my phones.

1. Activate and mess the heck out of it until it dies completely.

2. Charge it up to 100%

3. Mess the heck out of it again until it dies completely.

4. Charge it up to 100%

5. Mess the heck out of it again until it dies completely.

6. Charge it up to 100%

Then use it normally :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shuggins:
How do you tell if the phone is charged to 100% while off?

While on, my battery percentage doesn't seem to go past 99%. Is that correct or is this last 1% just taking a very long time?

Update: NVM last 1% just took forever. LED does turn green when fully charged.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] truciet:
The LED will turn green once it's 100%.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Don't worry about letting the phone die and charging it up to 100%.

These batteries don't have a "memory" like older phones
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Syk69:
Mine came dead too. Charged it to 100% and now been using it and so far have 36% on 3h 9m on battery.

Screen at 84%

Does the battery life get better? Because it seems to be draining rather quick. Even though I have screen brightness less than half.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bimmerboii:
@Maroon Mushroom, Correct these lithium batteries dont have memory effect, but over discharging them will shorten its life.

I dont want to sound like an expert, but discharging the battery until it dies is not recommended. It will affect battery life/performance.

Ya, we use Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries now which dont have a memory. The older Lithium Polymer (Li-Pol) batteries did have a memory and needed a certain charge method to get the longes life cycle out of it.

It's offered by Rogers, but i'm on Telus
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
Hmm, i hate the idea of letting it die completely. But what i've always done is turned everything on and ran it through a low-powered usb source so it has a charge but the battery is still draining. So even if the battery runs dead it has power via USB plug [make sense?]. Usually having everything on [i do mean everything] and downloading a torrent so the internet is constantly under use. Then again i'm not sure how the One X will work out for this, but thats what i'm planning :).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
guys its lithium...u cant drain it to 0...even when android shuts down your at around 3.6volts. thats definetly not 0volts. no memory and android wont let you ruin your battery...so charge however whenever.

im qualified in lead acid. ni cad. nimh and lithium batteries. trust me..u cant hurt it unless you short it! !
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
In theory you are correct, but in reality the safety circuit doesn't always work. If this happens, and the voltage drops too low (doesn't need to drop to zero), the battery will not take a charge. I've read plenty of posts here on various HTC Android devices where this happened. The only way to bring the battery back to life is with a battery meter with "boost" function (which most people don't have access to), or alternately replace the battery. And since our battery is not user replaceable, you are pretty hosed in this case.

Its a myth that draining the battery until shutoff will make the battery meter any more accurate than draining to 10% or so. The battery meter is not accurate enough to make a difference. And draining until shutoff, while in majority of cases will be fine, is a bad gamble. People need to stop propagating the myth of draining the battery until shutoff.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FlawlesStyle:
It needs to be proven on Mythbusters before the public will believe it. :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
I think that's what he meant, as in "don't worry" about having to discharge and charge completely. Basically like what you're saying, just charge whenever, the battery will work as intended. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eri000:
thanks

thank you for this good information

i have 2 questions:

1-How to charge a lithium battery after flashing a new rom (moving from stock to custom for example)

is any calibration required?(i know that wiping battery status doesnt help as stated by google enginners)

2-How to charge those NiCad batteries for the very first time and the other times

How many hours ? Should i remove those directly after reaching 100% (since those can overcharge)

instruct me with those NiCad ones please
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
These battery charges and people saying you'll ruin the battery by keeping it on the charger too long or frequently charging your phone... They're myths. Lithium batteries are smart, you don't have to worry about anything, just charge and go
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
1) Calibrate the meter as I've already described: "Drain to 10% or even 20%, charge to full, repeat 2-3 times."

The need to even repeat more than once is probably arguable. The high and low "flags" should be set by just doing it once.

The battery meter calibration flags do seem to be inaccurate after ROM flashes, and do not seem to be stored in "battery stats" (which get wiped every time the phone is charged). So battery calibration after a ROM flash is worthwhile to get an accurate battery reading.

2) What device(s) do you have that even use NiCd batteries? Most modern consumer products have moved onto Li ion, due to the lack of memory effects, and ability to hold a charge in storage. Although, NiCd still has advantages for specific purposes.

I have much less knowledge of NiCd batteries (for the reason that I don't own any devices that use them anymore). For details on charging NiCd (and any other kind of battery, for that matter), Battery University is a great source:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_nickel_based_batteries
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eri000:
So after calibrating the battery meter than i can do partial charges as much as i want and meter will stay calibrated right ???

Because i read that partial charges are better than discharge-full charge cycles

thank you for your time
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That's correct. Once the "High" and "Low" flags are set, you can do partial charges as much as you want. And as you have read, partial and frequent charging is best for the long term life of Li ion batteries.

I've heard some stories of folks on various devices, where the meter calibration seems to become inaccurate over the course of several months. Not sure why that might happen. But if it seems to be getting inaccurate, a re-calibration every few months is justified. Of course, anybody that does occasional (or frequent) flashing of custom ROMs (and that is a lot of what XDA is all about, isn't it?), this is not applicable. Since the meter calibration gets wiped every time you flash a ROM, and it needs to be re-calibrated for accurate meter readings.

Other than that, full cycles are not recommended, and frequent partial charging is best, as mentioned.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eri000:
So if it seems that battery meter gets inaccurate over time a recalibration (2-3 discharge-charge full cycles) will fix it without the need of reflashing the rom right ? perfect :cowboy:
