I called T-Mobile today about the OTA and they said that it did matter that my plan wasn't set a mytouch package. They told me the OTA should have gone out after my first phone call. Sounds like a bunch of bull**** to me, just figured I'd fill in anyone who was interested. They told me I should have it within 48 hours. *crosses fingers*

*edit* my friend works at T-mobile, she just received the phone herself and after your phone is set as a Mytouch4G, use *#*#checkin#*#* should help start the process, now were both waiting...
[myTouch 4G General] SilverSurfR:
I've been waiting since Sunday. Hopefully has nothing to do with having debugging enabled.

Been leaving the phone connected most of the time running

adb logcat | findstr clients.google

to try and snag the link for the update.
[myTouch 4G General] johnowa636:
downloaded "aLogcat" from market. it allows a log filter, any one know what i can place in filter so it does not catch entire logs of phone activity. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G General] slhpss:
I've been messing with this. It seems you can put in a filter (I put clients.google) but it doesn't matter if you set it to save to your card periodically it saves the entire logs... but you can open those on a pc later and search them or if you're a linux type you can cat file | grep "clients.google" :)
[myTouch 4G General] acejoker25000:
Anyone tried to flash this in hboot mode? Just rename it to the file its searching for.
[myTouch 4G General] acejoker25000:
From what I have found out tmobile can push updates to you if they want to. I rooted a guys phone he didn't like it so unrooted back to 1.1 software he called tmobile and they pushed latest firmware to him and he updated within an hour of calling. I no tmobile doesn't still have 1.6 g1 firmware being sent out so idk how else to explain it
[myTouch 4G General] travisjames:
Nope, T-Mobile has no way of pushing the update directly to your device from my understand.

Also, this is not something you can flash via HBoot. Look at the differences between this file and the RUU that was released.
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
How to check for updates manually?

Try installing LauncherPro.

Then in the Sense Launcher

1. click the menu button,

2. click add to home,

3. click shortcut,

4. click activities.

Screen will disappear for about 10-20 seconds. a black screen will pop up. it will freeze for about another 10-30 seconds.

5. once the text loads, click updater,

6. click system software updates (com.android.updater.UpdaterSettings).

should create a new shortcut on your screen

7. click the shortcut

8. click check now

this is my only advice. hopefully it works.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Tested. Good thought and very handy. No dice on grabbing an update this way for me, though. :(
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
thought it was worth a try. i know this works on the vibrant, hadnt tested it on the MT4G yet.
[myTouch 4G General] timbo1083:
Yeah great idea. I also tried just in case. Got nothing. Even told me I was up to date. Damn you lying phone :). Only 3 more possible days to wait I guess. Going to be a long 3 days. Hopefully someone finds this update for us.
[myTouch 4G General] InsolentMorder:
Ok so for those of you who are having troubles getting the OTA. The best advice i can give you that worked for me. I had not received the OTA for over the intial 48 hours. I did these steps and received it in under a hour.

1. Temproot and backup using titanium. This is just so you can restore easily Skip if you dont mind losing everything.

2. Factory Reset your phone. This is what T-mobile recomends.

3. After the factory reset

DO NOT

temporary root your phone and

DO NOT install a task Killer

.

4. You should receive the update within 2 hours IF you do not receive the update or would like to really Speed up the process. When you received your phone you got a new Sim card if you call T-Mobile and have them change your sim to the new one and make sure that your IMEI is correct this will speed up the process!

I updated my sim just because mine was old and the new ones even look different. But after doing these steps I received my OTA in less than one hour. Hope this will help.
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
This might actually be the best way. I remember when I was having trouble with my G2 they switched out the sim card and I got the update withing 2 hours.

Also as others have mention when I got the MT4G they still had my G2 IMEI number in the system. Once they changed it I got the update within 2 hours. So asking for a new sim might help. But I thought the IMEI number was tied to the actual phone and not the sim? As they had me read it off my box. Worth a try I guess.
[myTouch 4G General] myrdhyn:
Tried this, except the SIM swap. It's 16 hours later, no OTA. Didn't recieve a new SIM with my MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] Whosdaman:
Moved the general section.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
Why was this thread made as if the OTA is available to download? :confused:
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
Because no one has the link to the download yet, and there are a lot of us still stuck waiting to see it magically appear on our phones.
[myTouch 4G General] tada116:
i just ran alogcat then the ota arrived... will this help anybody?
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
Yes it should look for something in the log like this:

http://android.clients.google.com/ota/packages/
[myTouch 4G General] tada116:
cool ill start my search after i get out of class.. i ran it for like 3 hrs and looked at my phone and got the update =] .... i downgraded on my old phone so i took it back to tmobile and got a new one... ota 27 hrs later!
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
I just took mine back today and got the black one. I called Tech support and had them manually change the IMEI # so hopefully I will get mine soon only a few hours so far. I also have logcat running.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Feel free to shoot me the logs here or in email(I'll send it to you in PM) and I'll dig through 'em. :) You might be my hero!
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
Post the log here so we can all have a look through it. Someone is bound to find it
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
Class oh man class can wait. Just kidding LOL
[myTouch 4G General] tada116:
thats exactly what i did.. had them update the imei...

but i didnt know if the update would come to the same account so i had my friend use my phone with his android data plan to see if it updated on his... it didnt.. so i switched it back to mine around 11 this morning... had the imei updated at 2pm then the ota at around 5.. used the *#*#checkin#*#* along with the launcher pro shortcut to the update setting screen. no idea if either of those did anything at all.
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
SCORE!!! Update is downloading as we speak! Logcat is running so with any luck, you guys should have this update soon!
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Omg, I can taste the root!
[myTouch 4G General] brian6685:
I changed my imei number like 6 hours ago and still no ota :(
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
Sorry guys. I'm pretty sure I started the log too late. I don't know how to go back further in the log. I can tell its doing something update related cuz it starts with "removing non-system packages" & ends with "rebooting reason recovery"
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Did you have it periodically saving to the SD card?
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
No I just so happened to plug it into my laptop as i got the update notification & just ran adb logcat from cmd as soon as I could
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Damn, yeah, you probably downloaded it a long time ago. :(
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
The logcat was running while the downloading notification was there. I guess I started the logcat somewhere in the middle of the process. Sorry guys
[myTouch 4G General] SilverSurfR:
Sorry guys. I was in the same boat. I noticed the OTA while it was still downloading. I turned off wifi to slow the download while I opened alogcat (no periodic saves). nothing showed up, so I restarted and ran logcat from pc while I still had the downloading message to see if the link would show up when it resumed. Nothing related to clients.google or a .zip file.
[myTouch 4G General] tada116:
im pretty sure i have it somewhere... the search begins through 3 hours of logs =/
[myTouch 4G General] slhpss:
my daily harassing of T-mobile has turned this up... it sounds like bull to me but
[myTouch 4G General] tada116:
no link in my logs =[
[myTouch 4G General] A|G:
got log since the morning and got update and hour ago now updating.

what should i ve looking for in logs??
[myTouch 4G General] momohammed20:
probably something like android.clients
[myTouch 4G General] A|G:
actually, i think were not gonna be able to get the link with alogcat cause it downloads it on boot so it has to be done while phone connected to pc and run adb logcat. unfortunatly i figured out after upfating ;-(

maybe someone can get this for us this way for sure ;-)
[myTouch 4G General] photolarry:
It says on mediafire the file is private. Help?
[myTouch 4G General] kitsunisan:
Ok, I'm getting a replacement MT4G tonight(it should have arrived by now), if alogcat isn't doing it, what's the best way for me to get the damn thing? And talk to me like I'm 4, I've never dealt with logs before. If adb is required, talk to me like I'm 3, I haven't used adb since mid 2009. Some knowledge is still there, but its rusty as hell.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Start running aLogcat from the moment you make your first phone call. Set it to save to SD card every 15 minutes(Menu > Settings). Try to avoid turning the device off or restarting it, since aLogcat counts 15min from when the app is turned on. When you receive your update notification, before you click on it, go into aLogcat and manually force a save (Menu > Save).

The notification is for install, not download. It downloaded in the background sometime before you receive the notification. So if you wait to turn aLogcat on, or adb logcat, or any other logging application, it's wasted due to the fact that you've already downloaded it. Beyond that, if you click install it will power the device off and then do the installation losing the log if it hadn't saved.
[myTouch 4G General] kitsunisan:
Ok, alogcat is the first app I'll install then, I'll keep it running. Its ridiculous that this long into it we still don't have it.
[myTouch 4G General] robocik:
why is this thread moved to general?

this is a OTA thread is'nt it ? it is rom related or?

otherwise where should we look for some new updates, in general or in development? it is hard to know now...

hope you know what i mean... i understand this thread has become more general then development, but the title says something else...
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
Yes you cannot get the ota over wifi.
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Title says it all. I just ordered one. Looks good, so I just had to do it.

Pitty no shipping to Australia...
[Desire HD Accessories] teihoata:
My ones being shipped to New Zealand, why wouldn't they ship to aus as well?
[Desire HD Accessories] Fif23:
Wow, the phone is big enough, but with that silly thing it's an actual brick ... FAIL
[Desire HD Accessories] jvoelcker:
I like the look of the Otterbox case but am concerned about what to do when mounting the phone in the car.

I've just received my DHD and am looking for cases, car holders etc. I like the Brodit range of holders, but guess it won't work with this Otterbox case.

Any suggestions?
[Desire HD Accessories] Humz:
Spiderpodium

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!

the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone :(
[Desire HD Accessories] enzo_450:
@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)

@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.

Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.

Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away ;).

Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.
[Desire HD Accessories] geoff_tewierik:
Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.

So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
same here, get the error; ""Your address could not be recognized by our system. Please change your billing address and try again".".

samd them am email now.
[Desire HD Accessories] teihoata:
I got that as well. I just pushed next again and it went through
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
ok, try it and its work fine !

do you see on otterbox site 4 line of ordering?

same order number, but like four of them...

i sand them email now to be sure the i didnt get debit on my c.c for several time...
[Desire HD Accessories] teihoata:
yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered. They seem to be having a lot of trouble at the moment with the whole process, good luck contacting them. Fill us in with what they reply with
[Desire HD Accessories] clintyboy12:
Seems a bit pricey...

What's it made of? Kevlar? Neoprene embedded with microscopic diamonds?

I got a case from ebay:

Go to : cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-HYDRO-GEL-CASE-COVER-HTC-DESIRE-HD-FILM-/160496080523?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255e4fd68b

(sorry can't post URLs as I'm a noob!)

Does the job and looks pretty good too, stops the phone from feeling too 'slippy' and doesn't bulk out the phone by too much.
[Desire HD Accessories] oliboli:
Very nice looks neat...
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it. I'm not in a rush for it, but it would be nice to know when I will get it.
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
So I received an email from them today. Not replying on status, but the actual invoice. It was shipped yesterday. YAY!
[Desire HD Accessories] ymiran:
This OtterBox case is superb...

...so i´ve ordered one piece few seconds ago. I have some gel case from ebay, not bad, but its not a worthy competitor for this one. Many thanks for useful info about this case.
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
Can people post their opinions who have got them? Does it make the phone too bulky, does the phone still feel good in the hand etc

Bonus points for photos of it on... as long as it won't make the phone stupidly large I'm going to buy one
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
thx, duty is going to kill the deal I bet... but thx again for the code!

To the guy above, it did make my iphone 4, larger, bulkier and heavier..... but, it sure does protect my $800 purchase....
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
As soon as I get it in I will post my review. :)
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Just came in!

OK. 100% top quality. Fits like a glove. Buttons work very well with the case on. It actually has a cover at the bottom for the ports with a hole for just the mic. Easy to open to get to the charging port and headphone jack. The camera is well protected. You can't damage it at all. When you lay it down it lays flat. I'm so happy with it. It adds maybe 2mm to the overall thickness. It feels like it's not even a case, but part of the actual phone. The best part for me is the part of the inner silicon gel case that wraps around to the front actually covers up the sharp aluminum sides where your fingers would hit sometimes when scrolling. It actually covers the edge down to the glass. Again, it's a perfect fit. Highly recommend!!!!
[Desire HD Accessories] jamieeeee:
Good to hear! Maybe some pictures?
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Sure. I throw some pictures up a little later, but I got to tell you, the pictures from their website match perfectly. You probably won't be able to tell mine from their. LOL They did no photo shopping to make it look like it fits perfect because it really does.
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
bobbyphoenix, im wonder, is it "make" the phone much bigger then "normal" cases ?

dobo, the 2 layers are a little scare :D

BTW - cant wait for your pics...
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Pics!

Here ya go! Sorry for them being blurry. Kinda hard to take a picture with one hand. The one that is side by side with another cased phone (has pink boarder) is a Nexus One in a Case-Mate Tough Case. As you can see the Desire HD is actually thinner.
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
Hey, I'm about to order mine, my only concern is that it looks like the sound and power buttons stick out a lot.... is it better in person?

Went drinking last night (I'm a student....) and felt pretty vulnerable without a case on my dhd
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
It does look like they stick way out in the pictures, but really when it's in your hand, you hardly notice it. They are very soft and squishy, so when you do touch them, there is no "hard" feel like you may get with hard solid buttons. Also I think they need to be that way since the power and volume buttons are so close to being even with the phone. I have no issues pressing the buttons, so maybe you can cut them down if you really think they are sticking out to far.
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
Awesome, thanks for the review, I'm just going to order mine now.
[Desire HD Accessories] End0rphin:
Bad site. The purchase system has deducted approx $150 just from trying to correct the BS invalid address. Even in the end the process never cleared through.
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
Yeah the site needs work its processed my order 4 times, sent them an email to get them to fix them
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
same here, 6x44$...

my order still on the "Being Processed" status, and customer service didnt answer my mail - that is an great example from where NOT to buy -on the web...
[Desire HD Accessories] enzo_450:
hey bobby, good to hear good things about it.

One quick one, do you have a screen protector on the phone also?

Have a (very) cheap plastic/silicon case at the moment, and it's pushed the two bloody bottom corners of the screen protector up today :(

Hoping the Otterbox either sits a bit more on top, rather than pushing in from the edges, and/or fits that well that I'll never want to take it off (thus reducing chance of pushing the plastic up when refitting)

Cheers!

Also, seems like I'll be finding somewhere else to order one from with the hassles reported so far about purchasing/shipping to Australia
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Desire HD Commuter coming to the UK next week
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
No I don't use a screen protector, but from the way it form fits, it looks like once you put it on it should cover the entire edge of the screen protector all the way around the phone leaving no place for it to push it up.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
I ordered my case a couple days ago and I got an official receipt today... but no mention of shipping.... does anyone have this case yet? Does it come with a good screen protector.... or should I just buy the invisible shield?

My only concern is, my ip4 otterbox/inv shield combo.... fight with each other...

Can someone recommend a better shield for this case?

++update: My case just arrived from the states, that is amazing... not duty, no taxes and 2 days shipping, no one even told me it shipped? Lmao, best case purchase to date!! Well, the usual fees the site charged me, but nothing on top of it and sooooooo fast!
[Desire HD Accessories] teihoata:
Interesting, my order status says it has shipped, up the top above order number and below order placed but in the shipping details it says its not shipped.. Very confused right now lol anyone else's says this too?

They won't reply to any of my emails either, slack.
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Same happened to me. I actually received mine already, and my status is still "not shipped". LOL They never replied to my emails either, so your right on course with everyone else. I was sent an email with the tracking number, but not replying to any questions I sent them.

EDIT - - - - A day late, but Tara emailed me back today saying it was delivered yesterday, and she wanted to make sure I received it. They do care!
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
I think they might be busy fixing orders that have been messed up by their (new) site... I just hope they fix my orders soon, I have the same order with the same order number showing four times on the order details. Looks like my card was only charged once though....
[Desire HD Accessories] insty:
Otterbox DHD images: http://whrl.pl/RcxCK9
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
ummm, this case ROCKS.... it improves the functionality of the phone (not that I do not love the design, but the volume rocker and power button are so smooth, you had to "try" to press them).

Now the rubber volume and power button stand out much farther, and only require a light press..... very impressed. Another think I loved vs my ip4 one, the rubber is on the inside vs the outside.... and it really protects the camera now!
[Desire HD Accessories] mcstone:
I think this looks great but, the only think putting me off ordering one is...

The bloomin great big OtterBox logo on the back
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
Yea, but the way I go through phones, its all about protection for me.... and without a case, this bad boys camera is in jeapordy, imo
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
Got a nice response a little while ago (after a day or two of no response) from otterbox.com about my order which was showing four times. It's shipped now and got the tracking number, and they thanked me for pointing out that a lot of us in Australia and NZ (and probably other countries too) have had strange problems with their ordering system.

So, I think they are a bit disorganized at the moment (keep in mind they switched to a new site engine etc this month) but I wouldn't have a problem recommending purchasing from them.

Haven't got the case yet so can't comment on that but looking forward to it!
[Desire HD Accessories] Gallimaufri:
I have mixed feelings about the Otter case, I really like the double-layered protection it gives but I don't like the huge Otter logo and the bulkyness it seems to cause; the holes around the lens, the 2 leds and the speaker look like they are now an inch deep :eek:

I also think the buttons are sticking out way too much which I find very ugly and I don't like the different dual tone style/material in the corners, had preferred if it was made as a solid one piece completely black body ...

Hmm, I think I've just convinced myself .... I'm gonna look for a different case :)
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
To each their own. I think it is the best case for any phone. Good luck finding one that is better. :)
