Update still missing in Denmark....
[Legend General] nickggr:
Yes, I hope this too. Since they have finished updating Sense to be compatible with Froyo and they have already started rolling out Froyo for HTC Desire, I hope that our Legend is not far from getting it. :)
[Legend General] in2ition:
I have installed it on my Legend in Romania, no problems so far. Waiting for 2.2 Froyo...
[Legend General] ryaneu:
I've seen reports from some users that this ROM drains battery alot. Is it true?
[Legend General] c_man:
My battery performance has decreased massively since this OTA update.

Before the update it was awesome, easily lasting 2 days, thats with WiFi or Data enabled 24/7.

Now I'm losing up to approx 8% every 45min with the phone just idling. I don't know what's wrong...!!

Before I used to lose 2%, perhaps 3% overnight..at a maximum, now I'm losing up to 10% overnight. Quite unbelievable.

You can imagine how the battery drops whilst I'm on call :mad:

I wish I could roll back to pre-OTA update... but I'm hoping FroYo will arrive soon...
[Legend General] zbrinski:
I too think the battery is draining faster than before this update.
[Legend General] ali ba:
This might be related to the broken WLAN driver.

I'm just guessing here, but if WLAN is broken seriously (e.g. power management) it might not even be able to enter sleep mode (if your screen goes blank, it normally is disabled to save battery).

Shame on HTC for letting something like that pass their QA.
[Legend General] AndyStubbs:
I rolled back to 2.03.405.3 using a goldcard and the relevant RUU file without issues.
[Legend General] c_man:
Thanks for the responses, lets hope its not a flaw in the WLAN config...

Thanks, at least its possible, and it works!

I'll keep this option as a last resort, considering my phone isn't rooted and I haven't created a Goldcard just yet - which is probably enough hassle in itself.
[Legend General] KK43:
Is it possible to roll back to previous version? Sms issue very annoying
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
LOL maybe read the post above you.

You will need to create a gold card and flash a "new" (older) ROM.

You could also try Handcent sms. It's a free app which still shows the latest sms on top.
[Legend General] familyhousing:
On the plus-side (and there are quite a few I've noticed) the proximity detection now works when I pick up my phone while ringing. I hadn't even noticed it wasn't working until the update fixed it.
[Legend General] sda2:
I don't have any issues with WiFi or heavy battery drain.

Only the SMS thread is "upside-down"

Ah, before I forget: Waiting for Froyo as well :D
[Legend General] sacredsoul:
I just updated and it got hung at HTC quietly brilliant screen :confused:

EDIT: False call. It just got hung there longer then normal. It's fine now. Wifi seems to be working. Dont notice any difference though.
[Legend General] orouborus:
so far wifi works as well, new icon for quickoffice and there is a latitude widget from android now. did not notice any other changes with speed etc and proximity of backlight adjusting better. i can confirm that the message trail is "upside down" which makes it so hard reading new messages. especially that i am a heavy texter. might use hd2 until it is sorted. sent an email to htc as well. :D
[Legend General] kazzaz:
well , i don't know what connection stability they're talking about ? i didn't notice any difference than the sms problem and the latitude widget and the pinch to to zoom on maps and the new office icon , but nothing the speed feel the same the weak wifi connection feels the same nothing really important changes ... hope froyo to come ..

i think we should all contact htc for the froyo update ....
[Legend General] robto:
Hi ryaneu,

I checked battery and had this results:

-With rom 1.3x: in 15 hours battery went from 100% to 41%: so battery consumption was 3,9% per hour

-With rom 2.05: in 7 hours battery went from 70% to 27%: so battery consumption was 6.1% per hour.

So, yes, I think battery consumption is higher (estrange when supponsed battery was improved with 2.05).

Using OSMonitor I see a process who runs oftenly with hight processor activity (20-30%). It is "Facebook for HTC sense". I configured to check facebook every 12 hours so I do not understand very well why is running so oftenly : ?
[Legend General] zbrinski:
The problem about phone not ringing when there's a incoming call is still there it happened to me yesterday, had to factory restore my phone.

Facebook photos still don´t sync with contacts.

The battery is lasting less, I would say 20% less.

Also been having problems with connecting to the internet via mobile operator (seems some apn problem).
[Legend General] orouborus:
im not really sure about the battery draining faster. but i will check that and hopefully thats not the case. in general the sms "bug" is the most apparent in this rom. not the updates etc.
[Legend General] Skardy:
Here's my situation.
[Legend General] zbrinski:
Thanks for the tip about sync facebook contact photos, it works!
[Legend General] maxonite:
Has anyone else noticed a memory issue in the running services section. Mine always shows avail 0 in the section for dormant memory that can be accessed. So for example Avail: 17meg + 0 in 32. Other 0 in 5.

It always used to show memory in the 0 sections before the upgrade, as far as I can remember.
[Legend General] KK43:
How can a company like HTC, with all its resources, release such a crappy update full of holes. They do no testing at all??

My WiFi now sucks, almost each time I put the phone on standby it disconnects despite always on setting, so have to switch it off and on again to reconnect
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
I'd say this is how it works.

If you're a HTC Beta tester, you'd rather want to test stuff on the Desire then the Legend. So they just push the update to the public after minor testing to see what the community says, then fix it.

But that's just my thoughts.
[Legend General] copponex:
I haven't got the update :(. And i'm from Denmark.
[Legend General] shuikit:
It's really a no win scenario for htc, users moan when updates take "too long" to be released and then they moan when a quickly released update has a few bugs! Seriously bug free software is impossible! All that you can hope to do is minimise them by taking the time to develop. The less time that is spent in development the more bugs you get.
[Legend General] ms_green:
No update for me... (Austria)
[Legend General] ms_green:
Uhm...I just realized that I still have software version 1.3....but there are no updates available.... :( any ideas? I'm from Austria....
[Legend General] Xander_:
Same here. My girlfriend got the update 1 week ago ... me, squat! Yesterday I wrote to HTC and here is the answer: "Kindly follow the steps below to solve the issue you're facing: Go to: Home>Menu>Settings>Date & Time, uncheck the box beside "Automatic". Set the date to a year ahead, then restart the phone, you should receive the notification once the phone restarts, if not, kindly keep the change for 24 hours and check again. If you still don't receive the application, don't be alarmed as the date of release may change slightly according to the different Legend variants."

:eek:

Just tried the first part ... now luck!!! So if some else with that problem can try it and give some feedback. :rolleyes:

P.S. I still have to do the 24 hour later check ... I will give more info then.:p
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
The update is not worth it. The SMS bug is really annoying if you are even a casual user. It does not add any other functionality as such so consider yourself lucky for not receiving the update.
[Legend General] Xander_:
Dunno... most ppl are happy with it. :confused: And if the only problem is the sms arrangement I can live with it.:rolleyes: Well if I get the wifi problem this will be nasty! But my girlfriends phone works perfectly! A bit faster and longer battery life is all I need. :D

Cheers dude :D
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
I would suggest to wait for Froyo. But its your call.

If you do update let us know what bugs/enhancements you find.
[Legend General] ms_green:
but isn´t there an update between this one and sw version 1.3 ? why don´t i get no updates??
[Legend General] mathias.lithen:
Just use handcent sms? I have no problems with the update.
[Legend General] Xander_:
Yes there is ... and its not only 1 :(
[Legend General] ms_green:
Now that's weird...

Xander, may I ask you where you are from and which provider you have? Do you have a branded phone? (My provider is a1 and my phone is branded.)
[Legend General] Xander_:
I'm from Bulgaria, provider is Mtel and the phone is unbranded. But I had a small issue with the phone and it was off for a month or so. I think that's my problem, but I can't fix it. :confused:

P.S. My girlfriend has the same phone, on the same provider and tariff plan and she has all the updates :(
[Legend General] ms_green:
Very weird indeed...
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
I like the stock SMS. Simple and clean. And Handcent after the new update kept FC'ing on me .... so had to uninstall.
[Legend General] Xander_:
So 24 hour passed and the result wassss.... nothing! As expected :( Lets see what will HTC say/do now ... :mad:
[Legend General] ms_green:
Hmpf...I've talked to the guys at the local phone shop....all they told me is that android 2.1 is the newest version....they don't even know about froyo on the desire....and they don't know about software updates for android 2.1....I mean...come on....its their job!
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
I get that with almost every electronic stuff I buy, I usually know more then those guys in the shop. The best way is to gather info on the web from guys who do know what they are talking about and from reviews and stuff.
[Legend General] mrheffner:
Just got my Legend today, after 2.5 years on iPhone 2G and 3G.

Gotta say i'm very pleased!! :D

Concerning the update, i received it after about 30min using the phone out of the box (It has a Vodafone splash screen btw, + 2 apps in the app folder, + vodafone homepage in the browser).

I'm running it on Proximus in Belgium. Phone bought on eBay and I think it's a German branded Vodafone HTC legend. The manual is German only.

Only issue I have is the SMS annoyance. I thought it was an android feature.

Until I discovered this thread.

Hope to become a contributing member here.

Android rocks, feels very free after iPhone OS'es.
[Legend General] ms_green:
Good to hear that you like your legend better than the Iphone :)

Well. I wrote my provider a mail and they phoned me back...finally I got an useful answer from someone that knows what he's talking about. :)

He said that the update had been released about a month ago but it depends on the serial number when you get it.
[Legend General] mrheffner:
So this might be hardware related?

Different serialnr, different parts used?

Would surprise me, but you never know from how many parts suppliers they buy one single piece of hardware ...
[Legend General] iodine:
Update was pulled

I spoke with HTC regarding the update and was advised that the update has been pulled because of the SMS scrolling issue. A new update will be released shortly.

P.S. I called HTC to reports the scrolling SMS issue.
[Legend General] ms_green:
No, its rather like they can't provide the download to everyone at the same time due to "traffic limitation"...I can't seem to describe it...

They can't send it to everyone because eg their servers wouldn't be able to cope with it....the serial number just decides where your place in the queue is ;)
[Legend General] ms_green:
Yeah! I got my ota update today :)
[Legend General] matn013:
Still with the sms-app bug?

Or is it fixed?
[Legend General] TTLGKS20:
In what country are you ?
[Legend General] jmkhenka:
More importaint, what version did you get? Can you write down what u se in about phone - software version (or what it's named)
[Legend General] ms_green:
I'm from Austria and my current software version is 2.05.177.2.

Before it was 1.3....

I m afraid i can't say whether there still is the text message bug or not because I haven't received enough messages lately. Sry...
[Legend General] aLcH3m!sT:
New to XDA....

I have been using my phone for quite a while now with the new update (NOT FROYO :D) .... And as i am not using the stock message app i don't feel it to be that big an issue.

But on the other hand, my GPS does not triangulate my position when updating the weather. It always shows CURRENT LOCATION rather the place which it used to show till before the update. This is while using data connection (EDGE). When using Wi-Fi it immediately updates and shows my location. Does anybody else face this issue. And as it is EDGE and the data rate is barely 20-30kbps, previously browsing mobile websites used to fast. But after the update it seems to be very very slow....
[Legend General] leikep:
Hi, also new here.

I wonder why didn't I recive the 2.05.??? update. I am still on 1.31.405.5 and when I check for updates it sais the firmware is up-to-date. My Legend has Czech/Polich/<some others> localization.

How many versions of HTC firmawe are around europe anyway?
[Legend General] aLcH3m!sT:
As far as i know... There are two versions now. And a 2.06 version in CHINA which many "thought" were FROYO but sadly not.....
[Legend General] ms_green:
It depends on your serial number when you receive the update. In Austria the update for people using my provider has already been available for nearly a month before I got it.
[Legend General] leikep:
Hmm.. that's mighty strange isn't it? :eek:

I understand that if you buy provider locked phone you have to wait until the provider pushes the new firmware but why would that be dependent on serial number of the phone??
[Legend General] ms_green:
Because they aren't able to deliver the update to everyone at the same time. So the serial number decides when its your turn....I guess. I can only tell you what the serviceman told me.
[Legend General] leikep:
Do you think HTC (not-locked phone) does it the same way??

Wouldn't want to wait months to get the update.
[Legend General] ms_green:
I guess....but normally unbranded phones get it earlier than branded ones.
[Legend General] Bricolo_fr:
Unbranded Legend, in France, still stuck to 1.31...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XenSA:
" After android installs an application from the Marketplace, does it keep the .apk file?

Is there a standard location where Android would keep such files?

The location is "/system/app" "

First i would like to explain this is taken from a thread from some other forum so is not mine...

Just want to know if there is another answer as this does not work for me ...desire v5 build
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KowboyBebop:
Well I dont know the answer to your question, But if you just want *.apk files you can download OnTheFly Backup and let it export all installed apk to your SD card =)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
and here

/data/app

/data/app-private
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] palosjr:
/system/app for the most part.. if there is a /system/data file, there may be some in there. Also apps downloaded from the market are stored directly in /data/app or data/app-private

this is an easy way, but if you wanna browse your system files directly search around for Android Commander
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lewrydiboys:
Thank you so much. But for froyo you'll have to download Flii Backup. It's free and it saves all app in a folder called Onthefly. Aewsome!!!;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] king.0c:
Hey guys getting my evo tomorrow and i was looking through all the themes and they are pretty cool. What do you have to do to the phone to get the launcher to look like that and change icons? is it a program?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Are you going on every section and posting a thread with this title that asks questions that are vague and easily searchable?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] king.0c:
Well i have different questions that should be in different parts of the forums, I dont understand while people insist on submitting that on the forum. If you wish not to help just move along.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I am helping you. I told you to use the search, which is going to help you a lot more than you think. Even browsing through these threads, I'm sure you see that a lot of these processes can be a bit extensive. And, especially when you ask vague questions like in the original post, no one can help because you're not saying anything specifically (WHICH launcher are you looking to change to? etc. etc.)

Get it? Gonna' use that search? Hope so.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
I normally don't like this kind of answer but in this case i would have to agree with TJ, start from the beginning first, have the device rooted and flash your custom ROM then everything will come easier
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] f3rrand:
These guys are just morons. In the time you guys wrote all that crap, you could have just answered his question or atleast guide him.

Even thought you can somewhat modify the appearance, and customize it to your linking, you will need to root your phone in order to modify certain elements.

For beginner I suggest you download a few apps that will allow you to do some minor tweeking. Here's a list of a few apps to start you off.

Launcher pro

Beautiful widgets

Pure calendar

Flickie

Switch pro

Here's a screen shot of my evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
So we're morons because we didn't post a broad answer with suggestions of five different things like you? I think you should wisen up before you start slinging around insults that describe yourself more than anyone else.

There's an old saying that goes, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for the night, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."

THAT'S the mentality that goes into showing people the usefulness of the search tool. Unless it's something profound or newly developed by that particular person, odds are it's been discussed and can be found with the search tool.

You above just gave him tips to different kinds of launchers, and suggested things like rooting his phone, but didn't post any kinds of links to tutorials or downloads for the apps themselves... are you expecting him to SEARCH for these things himself or what?... exactly.

Get the **** outta' here with that **** guy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] f3rrand:
At least I didn't give the guy a smart answer. I gave him an actual answer to my best knowledge. Dickhead.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I didn't give him a smart answer, and I not only respected him, but gave reasoning as to why I gave the answer that I did... in fact, the only person to be dissrespectful and give an answer that doesn't truly help is... well... you. LMFAO. IN fact, I think I called you out pretty in depth, and your response was a childish sentence with a "name" inserted. Get real. But, I guess you were "answering me with the best of your knowledge", so I shouldn't expect anything more, eh?

Anyways, have fun with the "flaming". I'm a bit too busy actually theming and trying to have something to contribute to really care about the petty. ;-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smoothound:
As per title. My TouchPro has started to reset whenever connecting calls. It's fairly random, but once it starts doing it I can't take or make any calls.

Sometimes it's fine, and sometimes if I just leave the phone alone it starts working again.

I've re-flashed with a new ROM and it still does it.

Presumably it's screwed? :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smoothound:
GAh, it was doing this loads yesterday.

To be clear, every other function works fine and the phone is 100% stable. The only issue is that when connecting calls it resets :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smoothound:
So ideas at all? It's driving me nuts!

I can use Tom Tom all the day long, no problem. Media player? sure! SMS, YEP! Email? Exchange? All working FINE!

Phone calls? CRASSHHH!

Updated, no issues. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nmyeti:
Thanks. I updated without issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
is it better than the old?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n_i_x:
Yes.. it's 0.0.0.3 times better than the old!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
If you rooted with unrevoked 3.0 can you just use that with this image?

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lexus One:
Flashed to 2.5.0.4 no problem. But ROM Manager still indicates 2.5.0.1 is installed.

So how do I get ROM Manager to indicate the right recovery version?

UPDATE: Just after I posted this...I booted into recovery and found that I had been flashed back to the older version 2.5.0.1. What the ...! I did not do this. Did ROM Manager flash me back? How do I get 2.5.0.4 to stay flashed? I know it flashed correctly at first because it showed the new version right after I used Unrevoked 3.1. Anyone know why this is happening?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilinfinityil:
i don't really see a point in updating since it already works for me now...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nmyeti:
rom manager reports the older version for me, but booting into recovery it is reporting the newest .4 version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
ROM Manager cannot flash recovery because NAND is still locked. Only through the unrevoked tool does NAND temporarily unlock in order to flash clockwork. So if you followed the steps correctly using the unrevoked tool then you have the correct version. Booting into recovery (I think you can't boot through ROM Manager, boot manually or via boot loader) should show the updated version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Boot into recovery via ROM Manager. Note the version. Then boot into recovery "manually" (hold volume down while powering on). Note the version again. Notice anything different?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lexus One:
recovery by ROM Manager I get 2.5.0.1

recovery by vdown & Pon I get 2.5.0.4

Thanks, now I'm confused even more. Why are they different? And when I go back into ROM Manager it still reports 2.5.0.1. So my original question still stands: How do I get ROM Manager to display the correct version of recovery which is really 2.5.0.4? Even more...why does the recovery manager report 2.5.0.1 when booting into recovery via ROM Manager? This is reallyyyy strange!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
I answered your question two posts back...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lexus One:
Thanks for responding. I understand. But that doesn't answer my question about how to get ROM Manager to report the correct version. Do you know the answer to this?

What is even more confusing is when I boot into ClockworkMod recovery from the ROM Manager and the version of ClockworkMod Recovery is reported on screen as 2.5.0.1 when it is really 2.5.0.4....this just blows me away! It is like ROM Manager is substituting its own version number into the newer version of recovery. :eek:
