Can you clarify what this issue is about?

I haven't updated yet.

And my Desire and my Magic have can't receive sms from my workplace(non-numerical sender), so I was wondering if this is what you mean.

If it is, then this patch is a must for me.
[Desire General] Anon87:
Just updated my unlocked htc Desire /w a o2 payg sim. The youtube app is the only telling improvement i've noticed so far. And it is it much improved with HQ.
[Desire General] :
Updated my phone (generic ROM, unrooted, bought unlocked, running on T-Mobile CZ) to 1.21, WiFi still works; Wordpress for Android however doesn't (force close upon start).
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
How much do you lose when you update? Is this like a 'factory reset'? Will it also clean out a lot of junk from system directories and the like? Do we lose any logs? What does the backup not cover and how do we backup first? Any advantage to full ROM update vs OTA 27MB update?

Looks like this doesn't fix the random rebooting issue though.

I had this issue with network wifi failure, fixed by Forgetting your network and re-enter your security key when it rediscovers it

update : worked for a few mins now it fails to launch the wifi mode (the Turn Wifi On button doesnt even activate)

unrooted,debranded,Orange PM sim..
[Desire General] wolf_man:
Just did mine there now

I'm on O2 Ireland, but the phone was bought unbranded/unlocked from Carphone Warehouse.

SMS with no numbers fixed and Youtube has new HQ button, both as shown in thread. Also, the Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in my SMS inbox. I'm sure it never showed this before?

any difference between OTA and leaked ROM?

I had flashed leaked ROM in 2 weeks ago, i do not know what the difference between the leaked ROM and the OTA ROM, anyone knows?

i think the OTA is using an older radio version, but other than that, no difference that I'm aware of.

Re: updating to 1.21.405.2, should I?

I did my update as as well. In addition to the changes already reported, I can say that a calendar/contacts bug has been fixed: Before, it was impossible, to have some birthday dates properly stored in the contacts. For instance, my father's birthday 6th Oct. 1931 was stored as 5th Oct. in the phone's contact, no matter what I tried. I had the same issue with one or two other dates. This bug is gone now.

Can anyone with the update test if they have included divx playback and 720p recording. They at one point promised these features to be included in an update.
[Desire General] ardsar:
Not in this update.
[Desire General] moran679:
edited topic and added reported changes due to public interest!
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
If the 2 HTC widgets you are referring to are the Dice and the Coin Flip, then it's definitely not related to the ROM update. I noticed them a couple of days ago before I did the update.
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Updated, Wlan works. My desire was never locked, rooted or branded.
[Desire General] jonmall1441:
Just ran the update. HTC Sense seems to be a bit sluggish compared to before. I already had the HQ you tube app (1620) from nimbu. Still no Google Earth or Buzz in the market and no 720p recording but at least my phone reception seems to be much MUCH better full bars from 1 bar in my room. For those wondering the HTC widgets (dice and coin flip) were there before. :)
[Desire General] refelian:
figured as much, but the question was still lingering on the forum a bit (on another thread if i am not mistaken) good to have it put to rest.

I guess the end of june might deliver something otherwise it would be a good 3 months after the release of the incredible or htc evo

Edit: scratch the incredible of that list, it also doesnt have 720p recording and divx. guess a couple of months after the bravo or evo there might a update for us in store.
[Desire General] hugorx:
Didn't seen any changes except the Youtube, i had Google Buzz before and google earth still nowhere.
[Desire General] dweebuk:
I am running 1.15.405.4 and have just checked and 1.21.405.2 is available OTA.

My phone was purchased from Voda and I installed 1.15.405.4 using the goldcard method.

I have been reading the problems that Orange users who have debranded are having with wifi and sim unlock codes.

My Question is this, am I safe to install this update on my Vodafone?

Thanks

[Desire General] r47z:
anybody else have issues with not getting full charge with the new update?
[Desire General] cpainchaud:
This release is just about bug fixes , there's a couple of bugs I don't have anymore while the most annoying is still there : loss of data connection after a few hours with wifi on and leaving home for work.
[Desire General] glumardok:
I found two more issues: Prior to the update the keyboard popped up on the home screen when pushing the menu button for a longer time. This basically useless feature is gone.

Another one is that the SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types. A little bit a pity.

Google Earth is still not available on the Market, nor new HTC widgets (including dice and coin flip) - perhaps rather a country related issue?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Google Earth is on the market for me, downloaded it earlier! :D

EDIT: Can only get 'Dice' widget, seems pointless tbh!!
[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
Maybe it's a placebo, however I think my loud speaker sounds better! Clearer and actually usable now... when playing music or you tube. I'll try it for a call later.
[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
It does for me.
[Desire General] Nuntius:
Thank you moran679, just what I was looking for!
[Desire General] yeah85:
Same here.Charged during night,in the morning quit charging,went to bathroom,then looked to desire which was showing only about 90% battery,damm!! Before updating,it was always charged without problems.

Someone else recognized?
[Desire General] r2b2:
I have an Orange Desire that I debranded. Performed the update yesterday and wifi works fine, so I don't see why yours wouldn't. Go for it. If it's breaking a lot of handsets the HTC would release another quick update to fix it.

My "message from a short-code service showing as from facebook contact" issue is fixed, and I cannot get the keyboard up by holding "MENU" on the Home screen any more. I can see both the Dice and Coin-flip widgets (to see them add a widget, select "Get more HTC widgets", press the "Menu" button, then select "Update"). The QuickOffice icon has changed in the "All Programs" list.

They're the only differences I've seen so far. :)

Edit: I was wrong. Wifi is now not working. It wasworking directly after the update, but now is not :-/
[Desire General] r2b2:
Have you tried charging both from a PC and from the mains plug?

I find that charging via PC sometimes gives me this issue.
[Desire General] cnic:
my loudspeaker sounds kinda the same..

but the radio is muuuuuuuuuuch improoved, the signal does not jump like crazy when I pick it up..

only that it tends to go to G data more often than before, instead of 3G/H .. weird. .. and bad !!
[Desire General] yeah85:
Never charged via pc,always with the standard main plug and never had this issue before except this morning after updating yesterday evening.There must be a connection between update and battery issue.I also never installed any stuff like task manager etc. my battery power is definitely lower than before.Now only 16%battery remains since unplugging this morning.thats Very unusual for me.I will charge soon again and hope that this issue was only temporarily.
[Desire General] r47z:
I charged via the socket plug.. unplugging in and putting it back in will get charge to 100% may affect the life span of the battery?
[Desire General] r2b2:
While the phone is still on perform a "soft reset" by removing the battery, leaving for 10 seconds then putting it back in and restarting. Does this make it work?

(It won't delete any data, just restart the phone without saving any "state")
[Desire General] yeah85:
I will try that now and after that charge the phone.I'll report later if that issue still remains.
[Desire General] Inovator:
Not working on rooted device
[Desire General] cheesebanana:
cant beleive tmobile uk STILL doesn't have this OTA

we were the first to get the device, and we're getting updates the slowest

how ****ing useless
[Desire General] cnic:
Hey guys, I noticed it now ..

In the HTC messages app, it shows how many messages are in a conversation, like: "Person (5)" ... neat ...

I'm sure it was not like this before the update..

& i don't see any new htc widgets besides notes & today in history and tip calculator.weird.
[Desire General] ranzassel:
Another thing for the changelog list:

Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.

Just updated my phone and now i cant find Handcent SMS in the market, anyone else have this issue?

[Desire General] steinmarder:
Battery Problem

I experience a similar issue - cant get charge above 72 percent. Removing the battery and rebooting didnt seem to help.

In the message bar, the battery sign is blinking, and I see the orange LED, but nothing seems to happen. In fact, I had the phone connected almost the whole day, so battery should be full.

In between I let it drop to 67% - it quickly came back up to 71 again.

Is it possible, that just a wrong status is shown? Could this as a consequence, mean that continued loading might harm the battery?

Are there more people experiencing this issue?

Norman
[Desire General] chenman:
Yeah i can only see those things too. Any way of getting handcent back into the market?
[Desire General] spud_work:
handcent has been updated today (v3.0.2), so i imagine the latest one isn't on the market again yet
[Desire General] Ramedge:
I know this is not a great solution but charging with the phone switched off will allow the battery to reach full capacity. On days where I've needed the full capacity I've left the phone to complete charging whilst turned off.

I wish HTC would sort this problem out.
[Desire General] yeah85:
Ok for about the last 5hours i was charging the phone.Since the 3rd hour of charging the battery status showed 100% but in the 5th hour i was about to unplugg it and recognize the battery status was suddenly only 93%.as i said before,never had this issue before the update which i did yesterday evening.

Anyone knows some help?
[Desire General] dweebuk:
I finally decided to go for it, but have hit a snag...

The update gets about a third of the way through and then stops with a red question mark.

I've had a quick search, but can find no info

Any ideas??

[Desire General] gringooo:
Do I have to backup my phone before installing this update? Can someone answer this please, so I can update my phone.

Thank you bartveld.
[Desire General] alio993:
I think i read on a different thread on this forum that when the phone charges it will charge to 100% but after a certain amount of time (something like a couple of hours) it will let the battery drain down to 90% and then start to recharge. (might be a safety feature?)

I use juiceplotter which shows battery level and on my phone it shows exactly what i've just said.
[Desire General] K 7:
It's same with me, b4 update Market was working fine & downloads were fine & swift. But now after update Market Speed/browsing is fine Downloads never start at all. It just stays on STARTING DOWNLOAD. I don't know what to do, Anybody any solutions...

Having read this thread I have decided not to update. My youtube app already has an option to "play in HQ" even if Im not on wifi. So I don't see the value in updating. This battery thing seem slike a real issue. At the moment my battery goes to 100% and stays there for a long time before dropping to 90%. half a day maybe. I'll stick with 1.15. I'll wait for 1.30 or whatever comes next.
[Desire General] mrdo:
well spotted - i'm sure it was called People before - i've been looking for it for ages !
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
any comments on the "my battery only goes to 90%" type comments? IS this just conjecture? Or is it areal problem. I cannot imagine HTC releasing an update that degrades the battery performance.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Screw it. I upgraded. :) major major improvements in ram allocation. With camera and internet and photos and lots of items running I usually had 40mb free, now I have 115mb free. When I kill some things like camera and internet I have 215mb ram free. Unheard of! I've never seen more than 150mb on the last firmware. So major improvement there. :)
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Update. I cannot make phone calls after update. When I click the phone tab to bring up the leypad, the phone hangs. After 20 seconds I get an Android process error. Argh. Tried two restart. Help :(

Update2

Eventually phone dialer came up. I don't know how or why. Only Facebook contacts listed. I imported my sim contacts and now they are searched as I type a name or number in shine dialer. However all called sim numbers are listed as unknown in call history view? Also, Facebook contacts in the phone dialer are listed as c: and some http address. Clicking them suss an error. Something not right. ;( how do I disable all Facebook contacts from phone dialer? I just want sim numbers listed. Zzzz any help or advice much appreciated. Anyone else notice these problems post update?
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
For people worried about the battery reading...

I think it's just because of the battery calibration being messed up after the system update.

This happens in Windows Mobile every time you hard reset or flash a new ROM. The calibration corrects itself after several charge cycles. It wouldn't surprise me if this happens for Android as well.

So in short, just relax and use your device normally. It'll be all fine again after a couple days...
[Desire General] Rew64:
I found no difference in the battery at all. Fully charged yesterday and working just as normal.

By the way ohyeahar thanks for the tips on your blog, some very useful ones.
[Desire General] r47z:
i did not get a full charge on the first time charging after the update, but second time my batt get a full 100% charge.
[Desire General] moran679:
I think I have the same problem. Just charged my phone all night, 5 minutes after plugging it out, battery dropped to 96%.

Yesterday evening my battery was on 50%, came back after 4 hours and it was completely empty.. it didnt do that before the update, I didnt install any apps either after the update.
[Desire General] xdad_pepper:
hi,

i miss the "htc widgets" since the 1.21.405.2 Update.

I have an Orange branded handset, not had the update and my phone is still saying "up to date"?

Will Orange customers with a branded hanset get this update?

I want it for Google earth more than anything.
[Desire General] ThePriceIsLight:
I updated my Desire handset (standard - unlocked) yesterday to the new 1.21.405.2 OTA update, only to find that the Marketplace app has become very, very slow almost to the point of being unusable now.

It takes 20-40 seconds to view each 'page' - so painfully slow. It was working fine/quick before the update (30 minutes or so) and I've spoken with friends that also have the Desire, who haven't updated yet and their market runs fine.

Is anyone else having this issue with this? Is there a way to roll is back?

As a note - the rest of the phone runs fine as before, its just the Marketplace that seems to have taken a hit. :(

[Desire General] ods15:
Small Q, I haven't seen this answered in this thread - if I have a rooted HTC, can I just install this update directly? Or do I need to install it in some special way?

I found this link for a rooted HTC with the update [cannot post link, in modaco forum]

So I'm not sure if I have to update through that, or can I update regularly. If I do have to use that link, does that mean I have to wipe my phone and lose all settings?

Thanks
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
The update improves performance greatly. It seems memory management is the big one. At least twice as good as before. I have 150mb free with 10s of widgets and apps running. Usually this was about 40mb free with this much stuff running. Phone quicker. Doesn't slow down. Oh BTW, nobody told me the latest Facebook app gets rid if the pointless camera icon and instead has full inbox support. Bonus ;) battery thing is fine.
[Desire General] mofolino:
do you mean *#*#4636#*#* ?

another kind of experience

I bought a sim-free Desire from Vodaphone, and they unlocked the phone for me, I am using it with Orange. I got the update, installed it. The only negative consequence I noticed is this: when I call someone, I cannot here the ringing anymore. there is complete silence for a while, then the person answers.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I just noticed one thing that's different since the update that hasn't been mentioned yet.

On the home screen, I used to be able to press the hardware Search key, type the name of a contact, and your contact would show up towards the top.

This doesn't happen as consistently anymore. It still works for some of my contacts, but often I now have to scroll to the bottom after you finish typing and tap "More results".

Here's another big bug fix (foe me anyways). Before when i switched to swype as my input method, multi-touch wouldn't work unless i did a reboot but now, after the update, there is no need to reboot :D. Especially since I change keyboards all the time cause i use different languages to type (there is no Maltese dictionary to my knowledge hehe).

GREAT NEWS :D
[Desire General] Aitese:
You won't be SIM locked but you will lose Wifi
[Desire General] pascanu:
Same thing happened to me right after the update. It took about half an hour to solve itself. So be patient if you encounter this issue, it will go away hopefully.

BTW, I'm now 3 days after the update and everything is running as should be. No issues to report. Waiting for Froyo :D
