[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] dimonlimon4444:
Hello. I'm starting to choose this version of the phone for myself, because it has a good price, good characteristics, I'm used to the interface of android versions of phones and it has an excellent camera. Could you clarify a few questions?

1. As I understand, in order to install the maximum from Google services correctly, we need the firmware harmony OS (not android 12/13)?

2. Is it possible to set a payment method similar to Google Pay payment? Use NFC and pay by this method?

Bác cho em hỏi là fix thông báo xong là không dùng được CHPLAY nữa ạ?
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] hackerlb:
Cho mình hỏi nếu lỡ update google services và bị văng ra khỏi google play và các app google. Giờ phải xử lý sao ạ? cảm ơn

May I ask what to do if I update google services and get kicked out of google play and google apps. How to deal with it now? Thanks
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] albumihai2004:
Anybody tried it on MATE 60 PRO with HarmonyOs 4?
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] badmania98:
Mate 60 Pro? Are you coming from the future?

Mihăiță,. Mihăiță!
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] albumihai2004:
Sorry for being excited to ask, just upon reading the article about MATE 60 PRO releasing... without checking that was just released yesterday.

After MATE 20 & 30, I took a long HUAWEI brake, due to the need of using the work profile (only with GMS).

Nevertheless, my question still remains, once anybody purchase thr phone and can test it.
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] plpath:
I have install Google on Mate 50 with HarmonyOS 4, just change Huawei Store country to England, then install GSpace. You can try on your Mate 60.
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
Today in the morning i started the day with taking the HD and the opera. Opera was opened by clicking a favourite from TF3D. But after the established UMTS connection opera closed surprisingly very fast and the "settings" menu started self.

"New connections database available, please install"

I affirmed the download, it installed and the HD shuted down without question and needed manually restart. I found no problems after that.

What does it mean? I never experienced such kind on my other HTC or WM devices.

I have not activated the automatic Windows update in settings!!! And also all other update modes in different progs i believe i have set to manually. ??? :confused:
[Touch HD General] 6Fg8:
Yes, same here, except i didnt touch opera. The message came immediately after USB-connecting the HD to my PC. The download failed with a network error, and i still havent been able to complete after >10 tries.

Looks like it comes from 208.188.89.139, which resolves to 208-188-89-139.ded.swbell.net. I dont have a clue who that is and what it means, somebody else maybe?
[Touch HD General] cojones:
it's done exactly what it says it has, it has downloaded and installed a new connections database. you know, the one used by the automatic connection setup wizard that triggers after a hard reset. it is desired behaviour and nothing to worry about (unless they've removed your carrier)! ;-)
[Touch HD General] Vinski-:
This could mean the preconfigured profiles for various operators and their packet data (read: internet) connections. It just means the phone knows how to set up the packet data modem settings according the operator. So maybe it wanted to connect some htc database to pick up more recent configurations files? Someone could mail to htc and ask whats going on.
[Touch HD General] mouki_9:
Got the same message right now. It's downloading right now....

update: due to connection error failed to download new database....
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
Does it mean there is allways an (not indicated) automatic connection check-up wizard in the background running and a permanent update check?

I couldn't believe this.

And i don't like it!

It's very suspicious to me if my HD talks with other sources without informing me! This could also be not good for the datarate and battery.
[Touch HD General] mouki_9:
it at least asks before it does anything. There are other companies who handles this much worser (ms, sony, etc.). Those do it without asking the end user lol.
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
Maybe this is ROM or carrier dependant?

Mine didn't ask or download anything.
[Touch HD General] mouki_9:
i notice it after plugging in the usb to active sync with the computer.
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
I have ActiveSync running the whole morning, even reconnected the phone a few times.

Won't download anything though, which I don't mind. ;)
[Touch HD General] demo1987:
Got the same message for 4 times this morning, every time it tried to connect, but it won't download more than 1%. Does anyone what it is trying to download and why?
[Touch HD General] mouki_9:
lol mine keeps failing the download. furthest he got was like 30%
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
In other words if i update the few Kb on weather or stock application or during a fast email check, the HD checks additionally and secretly for updates? Sounds for me like the Vista automatic update blah. I want to stop that "wizard". If someone hacks that magician and add it to coming ROM updates it's dangerous.
[Touch HD General] cornelius:
It's not happend to my uncle HD
[Touch HD General] mokatia:
installing it for the 10th time today

just to get rid of that alert, everytime i say yes to download the update on my HD, and then it says failed.

now it stopped at 8% again
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
If this a hidden but common process with a today new published update, hundreds of HDs trying to connect now and to download the file. 6h ago i found no download problems. Now all of you other guys in Europe and Egypt are awakened :)
[Touch HD General] AFK_Matrix:
Yep I too have just recieved that message. At 49% and happily downloading, does help I am on HSDPA at the mo so no issues. I suggest that the people having issues check that they have a good internet connection or get on a wifi network.
[Touch HD General] Vinski-:
Or htc servers are just getting a bit hot :D

Hehe maybe they should've rolled this out little more carefully.

Mine stopped at 1% through usb cable.
[Touch HD General] matou25:
same for me i download it and it soft rest
[Touch HD General] pride429:
Just popped up a few times on mine as well - constantly failing. :mad:
[Touch HD General] gt112:
The evidence so far

1. We have a push update that HTC are denying they sent

2. When the install fails on the HD, there is a message in very poor english.

3. The install consists of password protected files

Is it me or do these facts make you suspicious at all? I know th efellas above are doing great work to trace the cab, hack the password etc but the fact that we are all here trying to solve this mystery in the first place is highly irregular and suspicious. Anyone else feel the same? Its another reason to hate this dam over priced device
[Touch HD General] cAlebcore:
That's right, but in that case, the malware wouldn't be hosted by HTC itself, on http://www.htcusainc.com/.....?
[Touch HD General] gt112:
so why are they (HTC) denying it ?

why the bad english in the update dialog?

why the password protected cabs?

why would a vendor goto so much trouble for lets face it what "seems" to be a totally trivial update (connections database) ?

why target only one device (the HD)? Why aren't they pushing for all their devices?
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
Guys great job,

but 36h ago it was nearly all described here, incl. the file and the files in the file :), the different connSetupDload stuff, the "customization" directory and the reg.

;)

#33, #43, #47,#61,..., ..., ....

gratulations!

but thanks for the password. Thats one step ahead, if it works.

Couldn´t try it from my pub :)

Just joking, we go ahead together. Good job.

HTC don´t think we are so flat as you are!
[Touch HD General] AFW:
Has the push update been stopped?

For the past two days I've had the update prompt me whenver I access the net. I could invoke it more or less at will.

This morning I've reset the the HD a few times, connected with every connection type, and - guess what -- no update prompt.

Maybe someone at HTC has finally figured out what happened and taken control...??
[Touch HD General] elmarko99:
same here it's stopped. ad it definitely didn't install. 63% was the furthest it got.
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
It's a standard HTC Touch HD, but I suspect O2 has modified the ROM (e.g. added homezone icon) and maybe changed some other things.

BTW: My HD tries to connect to 216.187.118.37 and 69.90.74.197, I cannot translate this to any known DNS entry, but I can ping both addresses.

Still no dialog for any update.

HTC Germany told me they knew nothing about an update, but were already trying to find out what was going on. I guess those poor hotline-guys really don't know anything about it.
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
The password works fine. Thanks psykokwak!

I have now analyzed and compared my file from the 02.12.08 with the one from the last hours. They are equal.

And i checked out the files up to the last corner :D

you guys can be at ease.

It's just an operator and carrier database without any hacks or malware!

There are no flashy or suspicious parts.

And there is now way for the update to stop other processes, like the here reported windows update or others.
[Touch HD General] darthbane2k:
Ok now im worried.. I woke up this morning to find that the phone had sucessfully completed the update. Should I be scared? However the update DOES appear im my 'remove programs' list.
[Touch HD General] speed200:
It´s normal that the update appears at the remove programs.
[Touch HD General] darthbane2k:
Ok, now that we have determined that the update was safe, can we find out why HTC were telling people they knew nothing of it? Just what the hell is going on at HTC?
[Touch HD General] gt112:
+1 to that
[Touch HD General] lopo:
Hi,

At this moment, and waiting for if HTC resolve the download problem of the server, there are two posibilities:

1) Install the conflictive database (resolute for psykokwak)

If you select this option is necesary:

A) download the database (http://www.psykokwak.com/vrac/Connec..._WDS100208.CAB). Also is possible download the database of the attached file in the post #158 (thank you GreenFrog).

B) use the password (030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653)

2) No install the database (resoute for chr5s11 and mcastelijn)

If you select this option only is necesary rename the sequent folder of the registry (is not necesary delete it, because is possible use in the future; you can use any editor):

A) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ConnSetupDload

Example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ConnSetupDload_bad

B) Soft reset.

Thank you psykokwak, chr5s11 and mcastelijn for your good apportations.
[Touch HD General] psykokwak:
Glad I could help. :D

@lopo: Your link is broken :/
[Touch HD General] yrreP:
HTC have disabled this update function, so this should stop the update from happening

;o
[Touch HD General] darthbane2k:
How do you know this? and Why have they done this? - what about those who have installed the update?
[Touch HD General] yrreP:
HTC told me.. that's the response you'll get is you contact HTC Europe.

No idea how this affects those who have already downloaded the update.
[Touch HD General] psykokwak:
It seems this is true.

Look the "update" file list : http://www.htcusainc.com/DBCS/dblog.txt

First column is dates. Yesterday it was "20081202" and now "20080602".
[Touch HD General] gormac:
Haven't got the update notification all day, so HTC probably switched it off indeed.
[Touch HD General] Rozenthal:
Hi, just to confirm yesterday I got fed up with notification going every time I connected to internet, so I downloaded the .cab file provided here, installed it and the notification was gone. Phone works normally, nothing changed!
[Touch HD General] darthbane2k:
You SURE nothing has changed?...
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
Just to say that yesterday I was able to download via Activesync the update. To Portugal I think it was added more operators.
[Touch HD General] TeeT:
Thanks, wizzkids

Hi Guys,

first of all, many thanks to every wizkid' in this thread.:p

You all did a fine job.

I had the same install thing going on, didn't install it because I didn't trust it.

And even now, after the conclusion that it's safe.

Leaves the question(s):

Do I need to install it ?

What does it do ?

But at least now I can go back to loving my HD, thanks.
[Touch HD General] speed200:
Did you at least read this topic????
[Touch HD General] Hadar:
HTC

Is there a formal explanation from HTC about all this?
[Touch HD General] speed200:
I dont think so.
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
At least we are knowing now that HTC support centers knowing nothing.
[Touch HD General] gt112:
HTC support sucks !!

I sent them 2 emails during the week (on this issue). Thus far (saturday night) I have had no replies. That pisses me off so much and says a lot about an organization.
[Touch HD General] JanSchotsmans:
For me and the other HD user here at work the update stopped poping up late last week.

It didn't install on either of them. And won't come up again.
[Touch HD General] mcastelijn:
Just disable the stupid thing

Who needs a connection update anyway.

The regedit key provided earlier works great. Haven't had any hassle since removing this stupid thing!

Yes, I may be living in ignorance, but in this case I choose to. I doubt a connection update will change my life :rolleyes:

Good luck anyway with trying.
[Touch HD General] fasty:
I just activesync'ed my HD for the first time in a couple of days, and I've suddenly got the request to update the connections database again !

The only thing I've done "differently" recently is to install a new bluetooth headset (Sony HBH-IS800)

Anyone else getting this ?

- Steve
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Yes Steve,

I had the same request last night.

I downloaded and let it install.

Have not seen any difference.... but then I was not expecting any.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
Same here.
[Touch HD General] Koffein Schluck:
Why you don't read the forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466978

Try to disable the annoying pop-up by going into the registry: HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\ export (for BackUp) "ConnSetupDload" and then delete it. Maybe it helps
[Touch HD General] thechefcooks:
just tried your provided i.p.

if you enter the ip address into your browser you provided you will be redirected to: http://www.htc.com/us/

guess the touch hd likes to call home one a while......... e.t. phone home........
[Touch HD General] yrreP:
Touch HD's are going to auto-update the connection database once a month. The download file size is around 2MB, with the updates reduced to several hundred KB's.

If you're connecting via 3G there will be a warning stating that you may incur data charges and you will have the possibility then to reject the update.

Enjoy!
[Touch HD General] Desigen:
Hi,

Can I download Connection Setup Database as cab file from HD on my Kaiser ?? and where can I find one ??

Thanks
[Touch HD General] awbrab:
Hello everyone,

after reading the whole thread, i still have no idea how to solve the problem...

I tried to download the cab file and install and aft a soft-reset it still dont work!!! And what is the password protected thing??? I dont have either..

Can i know which method is working???

And how to get the screen where they show you the version of the database, i cant seem to find it...
[Touch HD General] awbrab:
Anyone still got this problem? I solve this problem by going to start-settings on the phone, then go to connections tab-USB to PC, then clear the Enable faster data synchronization check box. After this setting done, please try to sync again.
[Touch HD General] humbao:
I'd managed to update via Wifi this morning @ about 5am (+8.00 hrs GMT), & the phone restarted promptly after 100% completion. I'm using the WWE Rom shipped with Starhub in Singapore. My Connection Setup version is now as follows:

1. v1.5

2. Build 35885bs

3. DB15.0106

Didn't notice any changes or apps installed.
[Touch HD General] awbrab:
Are u having any problem at first??? Are you using my method post on top to get it 100% downloaded? I just want to know whether the method work or it is just me being lucky...
[Touch HD General] Nvidia32:
No problem for me, 100%, Reboot and nothing changed.....

I'd like to know the change with this new database....
[Touch HD General] AFK_Matrix:
Lol spoke too soon, got to like 90% and failed, then it got to 30% and failed. Not sure but my HD does seem to be having a few issues of slowing down/freezing a bit now. Not sure if its related to it trying to download this database thing.
[Touch HD General] igalan:
I told it not to update, since the connection wizard does a bad job setting up my mobile operator (it wants to use a proxy that compresses images). So no way I'm going to allow this thing to change my connection settings.

I noticed the wizard has a setting that you can check or unchek, but the text is truncated so you don't know what it actually does, I'm hopping it disables the process that checks for updates.
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
Interesting to see my HD still shows after the upgrade an other connection wizard database version:

DB25.Blackstone_WDS100208

It's a trial worth for someone, who doesn't have the update yet

to navigate to settings/connections/connection setup/menu and then adding or removing the tick next to "enable auto configuration".

Any reports appreciated.
[Touch HD General] blackb1ade:
I'm very glad I found this thread - mine's asked me twice this morning already - I said no both times (just because unless I know WTF it is, I tend to do that)

I just unchecked auto-config, I'll let you know if it comes up again.

My unit is fine and until someone says something like - wow, what a difference that update made! I wont be bothering...
[Touch HD General] Nvidia32:
Version 1.5 (compilation 35361 "DB15.070") seems to be the original version ;)
[Touch HD General] igalan:
With auto-update unchecked it still keeps poping up :( . And the update fails over here, so it's quite annoying.
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
Sorry to hear mate!

I found now the update installed a programm named "Customization DB25.Blackstone_WDS100208" on my HD. Thats new.

There was also a new folder created in windows\AppMgr\Customization and some new registry keys.

HKLM\security\appinstall\customization

HKLM\security\appinstall\customization\DB25.Blackstone_WDS100208\executablefiles
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Mine downloaded to 100% on the very first attempt. I had no activesync, no usb or anything connecting it to a pc. Neither was I using Opera, or in fact doing anything with my phone. It just appeared and started shortly after taking the phone out of my pocket and activating the screen.

But... Despite downloading, it did not install. Instead, it said something in the lines of "cannot install because of device configuration"... Wait... What??
[Touch HD General] speed200:
That make two of us.:(
[Touch HD General] famod:
same here

Hmm quite strange, I read this thread and thought 'ok, let's switch on wifi'. Within a couple seconds it popped up. I agreed and it started downloading, up till 9% and then it reported a network error. Any word on what this update does and whether it's necessary or not?
[Touch HD General] webboy71:
I am from germany and I have a HD (o2) , for me this update does not come up ? I tried few times to go online but nothing
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
The update consists of a file named "provisions.zip", 1,8MB. I have it now isolated and also the install logs and install routine.

Just to be continued... :D

Do you think O2 will assist you to change to other carriers ? ;)
[Touch HD General] ILikeFish:
It may ask before

downloading

, but it sure as hell doesn't ask before

rebooting

! This lost me a bunch of work this morning - not a happy bunny. :mad:
[Touch HD General] gormac:
got the message too. keeps failing at 5-40% popping up later again.
[Touch HD General] Impunitus:
Mine keeps failing as well (on an excellent connection), so obviously HTC servers are to blame.

It keeps trying upon every kind of reconnection (AS, WiFi, HDPA, ...) without any obvious means of telling it not to. Most annoying. HTC, I'm not very happy right now.
[Touch HD General] AFW:
Grrr. Annoying.

I've tried perhaps 15 times today and the download fails every time - never gets past 30%. Excellent connections. Have tried both 3G and USB connection.

Has someone phoned HTC's UK office and told them?
[Touch HD General] pride429:
Am trying to get HTC to understand the problem (phoning them at the moment) but the language barrier is causing major problems.
[Touch HD General] pride429:
Ok HTC say that there are no updates for this phone at present and did not understand the problem at all. :(

However they are going to call me back tomorrow after they have spoken to technical support. I've given them the name of the file (posted by another user earlier) and can only wait and see.

In the meantime I will continue to try and get the phone to complete the download.
[Touch HD General] utvol06:
I get the connection setup update thing too..but mine wont even download 1% and then says it failed after about 30 seconds....annoying message isn't it!:mad:

I'm on AT&T USA btw
[Touch HD General] monye:
same in Netherlands

tried it several time today, now choose no everytime. keeps popping up
[Touch HD General] Coude:
Same problem here. It tries to download each time a connection (WiFi, USB,..) is activated. I answer NO each time.

My HD is not a carrier's one, although It is connected to Orange France.

My understanding is that the purpose of this download is to upgrade the list of carrier's specific setup which is used (if "Automatic Configuration" is set) when you select a carrier.

If my assumption is true, and since I do not have to change the carrier and it currently works fine, I don't need to upgrade this database, I would appreciate to be able to definitely say NO !
[Touch HD General] vincent1:
:D Funny, they are troubled a lot of HD Users and knowing nothing.

The file coming from HTC or whichever source was made on the 02.10.2008 at 10:34 (not really fresh today).

The provision.zip included following files:

0000.lang

0404.lang

0409.lang

040C.lang

0419.lang

0C0A.lang

index.ini

prov.zip

query.xml

It was installed via a cab file with registry patch using the well known Platformxxx.reg, CheckFile.exe, _cusTSKTEMP.exe

Seems for me (i'm not an expert) as a kind of WAP-PUSH or a DM Session:

0 DM Server sends an "Alert" to the device

1 device sends a message over IP connection, to initiate the session (includes device info and credentials)

2 DM Server responds over HTTPS over SSL (including its credentials and initial DM commands)

3 device responds the DM commands (sends back message with the result)

4 DM Server terminates the session or sends another DM command.

DM Messages are XML documents.

This is from MS WM6.1 advertising about:

Anyway i don't like it. It will open the door to anything. It allows all kinds of Hacks incl. dial-up networking.
