Can't comment on using the PC's internet connection but sharing phone's internet to PC works. Fast boot works just fine also. Only thing that I returned to stock was the wpa_supplicant for the wireless as I needed streaming media more than ad hoc.

If you wait a day or so after a ROM release, you will easily see if any bugs are reported. Android Revolution HD has been working much better than stock 1.72 on my device :D
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
Yes your problem came from removing system apps. Next time know that if you do any changes you will have problem with automatic updates. And that goes for everyone.

Now you can remove the battery and the phone will boot without the update and you will have to do a manual update or the easier thing to do is use the RUU.

I downloaded the p98img.zip from the first post put it on the root of SD card, turn off fastboot, power of phone then hold volume down an press power the phone boots into recovery and checks for the p98img.zip and once found will unpack it and give you the option to install.

The whole process took about 30 minutes.
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
Same here, I hate waiting
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
I think the really annoying thing about the wait is the fact that so many people already have it.
[Desire HD General] darkmessiah:
so if i do like how u said does it mean that i will not need to use a goldcard? and i'll b able to install this update..?
[Desire HD General] cracksquirrel:
What software number does you phone have on it right now ?
[Desire HD General] ramheer:
So does that mean your phone came factory standard, unlocked and as htc intended without any t-mobile bloat ware?
[Desire HD General] nickhammond121:
I was on unlocked and unbranded 1.72.405.3 so didn't need a goldcard, so if your branded etc you will need one.
[Desire HD General] lilil:
In Android 2.2 I could open Handcent SMS by pushing on the message widget.

But in Android 2.3.3 the message widget opens only the Stock SMS app.

Has anyone an idea to solve this "problem" ????

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Pistooli:
Got the update today, installed without issues.
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
Hey, are you in the UK, pistoli?
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Or restore the things you removed before applying the update. That's what I do, kinda... I don't delete system apps, I rename them from *.apk to *.bak. For all intents and purposes they're removed from the system and non existent. When I need to apply the OTA, just rename them back from .bak to .apk and back again when flashed.
[Desire HD General] bocosb:
I got the update few hours ago, everything went well - but while exploring the settings menu, i got the message the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly and it's some kind of loop, i cant make it stop.

The only partial solution was to activate the airplane mode from settings - but it's like having an ipod :))

I can't check the Mobile Network option, it's grey and below it says: "Disconnected because the radio was turned off" - I think i might have unchecked the option while playing in settings.

Any advice? Thx
[Desire HD General] jorjino2000:
Did you make a hard reset of your phone after updating the OS?

If not - do it, but first back up your stuff.

Also you can clear all from your SD card.

Hope this helps.

Regards.:)
[Desire HD General] bocosb:
It helped.. phone is back to normal, i just have to install my applications now.

Thx for your help!
[Desire HD General] khrislee:
still no update for singapore :(
[Desire HD General] darkmessiah:
Thank you for ur reply

I have 1.84.720.3

Android 2.2.1

Stock rom . Not rooted
[Desire HD General] darkmessiah:
Well i tried installing the update via RUU the .exe file but it threw a CID error.

my DHD is unbranded and unlocked from India.
[Desire HD General] nickhammond121:
From looking at your previous post you are on a stock shipped India ROM. The RUU I pointed you at is stock shipped European, I think that's why you're getting a cid error. To flash the European RUU you will likely need a goldcard
[Desire HD General] grimbola:
Hi all,

I got bored / annoyed waiting for 2.3 to be released on my unbranded Desire HD here in the UK even though it is showing as released on their support site (http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx) so I gave HTC european customer support a call.

I spoke to Kate on the 08458900079 number who told me that 2.3 hasn't been released yet (really? well how come Voda customers have it then?) and that they were expecting it to be released in the summer, she then specified June to August.

While I would take this with a massive pinch of salt as most people have experience of calling and getting one response from one advisor and a totally different answer from another - it's still not looking great.

Maybe HTC have offered Voda a time limited exclusive on 2.3 or something like that?

Either way i'm still regularly checking for updates, though I'm getting more and more tempted to use that official rom that was released, or a custom rom.
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
It's all beginning to look a bit of a joke - HTC 'support' seem to give a different answer to everybody and don't really have a clue.

Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if they could organise a p**s-up in a brewery...
[Desire HD General] barfuss:
Croatia got update for desire hd today... :)

t-mobile unbranded
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
Just got a response from HTC support that they r rolling out OTA updates for unbranded phones, but, its going slowly as they have a huge number of handsets.

Strangely, I am yet to hear of a single one of those huge numbers, state here in the forum, that they've received the update, in the UK.

So, are none of these huge number folks registered here????

What a load of krap....
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Indeed, they keep fobbing people off with b*llocks!

So far I've heard; right now, (last) Friday or Saturday, June to August and never.

:mad:
[Desire HD General] Phillmitchell:
You should have known they were clueless when they mis-printed the software version on the htc website.ive been told by customer services another few weeks for the update.
[Desire HD General] bocosb:
I'm on Orange, unbranded phone and i got the update.. Its true that i got it when i typed the "checkin" code - i'm not sure if there is a connection.

If anyone wants to try it: type *#*#2432546#*#* DON'T press call, wait for a triangle icon to appear on the notification bar, then go to settings/about phone/software update/check now
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Just tried. Nowt :(

You in the UK?
[Desire HD General] dibby:
Same here, 'There are no updates available for your phone'

In the UK, unbranded DHD.

Patience is a virtue!
[Desire HD General] sromer:
After giving up on the wait today i'd suggest you just use the RUU
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
Nope.. doesn't work.
[Desire HD General] :
I already got the Update more than a week ago (Austria) with an unbranded DHD. But i am really not happy with it - specially with the new HTC Sense "Specials".

I.e.: Scrolling apps does no longer work smooth. Instead you have the iPhone-Style : One page of apps at a time, and then you have to scroll again, and again and again.

Sadly i had S-ON + only temp-root and got the HTC Update to 2.2.3. And i can´t get rid of it now as there is no possibilty to root it atm (atleast none i found).

:mad:

Gingerbread update on Vodafone UKby HTC UK on Monday,

09 May 2011 at 16:10

We know a number of you are frustrated about Vodafone customers receiving the Gingerbread update for the HTC Desire HD ahead of everyone else. In this particular instance, Vodafone UK's variant of the Gingerbread update was approved as part of Vodafone's broader European software approval process and distributed by HTC as part of the European roll-out. We are working closely with all the other UK operators to ensure their HTC Incredible S and HTC Desire HD customers receive the update soon and will confirm a date for roll-out as soon as we can. In the interim, we ask you to please bear with us and would like to thank you for your continued support.

Nope, in Romania. But Orange is the same everywhere, so i belive it shouldn't be such a big delay (june or worse). I say in a few days, the update will be available everywhere.

Anyway, not many changes.. at least visually. I still have to see if the battery life improves. I hoped for the nexus s lock screen tv animation :p
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
Well, in the UK, Vodafone is the only provider rolling out updates to branded phones...

Orange is not even talking about the 2.3 updates here....
[Desire HD General] daktona:
I'm also on Orange, unbranded phone and from Romania and no update, I also typed that number but no luck
[Desire HD General] Juusuhako:
Got the update in Denmark about 12 hours ago, but how do I see what's new?

I do not have this UI:

http://www.techpetals.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Gingerbread-UI.jpg (with the 3 buttons centered below) - still got the old one.

I do not have the "new" keyboard with the new ...marking-arrows:

I still have the old one:

Sure, I see there's a few new themes, wallpapers and such, but what else? Is there a "change log" I can read? And why am I missing the stuff above?
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
The pictures you are showing are from untouched gingerbread as google released it. We have HTC Phones with Sense interface and that is why it is different.

Visually there are not much changes with the new update. But there are a lot other fixes that you can feel by using the phone for a day or two.
[Desire HD General] Skinnyscot:
Tried code on unbranded DHD - no luck. On GiffGaff, UK.
[Desire HD General] petarpetrovic:
I had exactly the same problem, but fortunately, it's easily fixed. For some reason, when you update to 2.3.3, it disables all notifications for incoming mail. You just have to turn them on again. It worked for me, it should work for you.
[Desire HD General] Juusuhako:
I see, I thought the new keyboard (black and brown) was for all Android phones, not just Google. s: - I can defo feel the UI is much more smooth, also when sliding down the lock. Thanks for reply.
[Desire HD General] Pistooli:
nope, in Hungary
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
So, there's still no one who's received the update on an unbranded dhd in the UK?
[Desire HD General] JofreeSco:
DHD Updated FINALLY :)

Today - after a week - I got the update notification again and finaly choose the YES button !

You need to aknowledge the download and again to the instalation after that.

Till now everythink seems to be OK and functioning. Nothing was wiped out by the upgrade.

THX for help guys. :D
[Desire HD General] Pistooli:
Did you also perform a factory reset after the upgrade?
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
Nope, my mate has got an unbranded one on Tmobile and he's still waiting. Don't think he realised it was due an update till I told him.
[Desire HD General] PeatCoal:
Can anyone with the 2.3 update tell me if it works with a bluetooth keyboard? 2.2 didn't due to HTC's messing. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] dingbatt:
My DHD is a parallel imported handset sourced from France. It is unbranded and my update to 2.3 has just arrived, and installed here in New Zealand. So far do good.
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
No update as of yet for me (Unbranded UK set) hopefully soon heh
[Desire HD General] supRshine:
hi!

updated my dhd to android 2.3.

since then when i type a message (sms) it underlines the words and suggestions pop up, though spell checking, word completion, prediction and t9 etc is turned off... weird. :mad:

is it my device or a global thing?
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
I'm thinking the udpate has been released only to a few countries and phones so that they can beta test the update before sending out the update to everyone.
[Desire HD General] supRshine:
it'd be a shame...
[Desire HD General] trisbel:
For those who updated, has there been improvements on gps?
[Desire HD General] brandnewant:
Warranty

Hi - I have finally got sick of waiting for the FOTA update, and I've downloaded the update offered previously on this forum: RUU_Ace_Vodafone_UK_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140 e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.exe

If I install this will it void my warranty? The post said that this is an official HTC update application, so why would it void my warranty? Also, this is the same fw version as the one supposedly going out OTA, so I don't get the difference?
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
Installing a RUU will not void your warranty, but the filename you are posting is for a very old release, maybe even the first for the Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] MisterBuggie:
I just received the notification and am currently downloading. My phone is an SFR in France.

There's a lot of pages to wade through on this forum looking for info, but I noticed someone mention the version number as 2.36.405 something

Mine is 2.36.163.13, is that what most people are receiving ?

Can't seem to find any info about what's new specifically for HTC.

I just recently switch to go launcher ex and go sms pro. Am I going to miss anything new with the stock HTC interface ? Worth switching back ?

Thanks for any info.
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
The version 2.36.405.8 that most of us are getting is for unbranded phones. Your phone is branded and the version is different and provider specific.
[Desire HD General] MisterBuggie:
Ahhh of course. Thanks.

Was slightly worried about actually accepting, but I'll go ahead and start installing it now. :)
[Desire HD General] Rudios:
What CyberTod ment is that the leaked RUU will not work for you since you have a branded device
[Desire HD General] hotur:
Message screen flashing

I've updated to 2.3 via the RUU.

Two questions

My screen flashes constantly when typing a text message? This normal? How do i stop it?

Will it have voided my warrenty updating via the RUU before its released?
[Desire HD General] kevsworld:
hate waiting

does it matter if the phone is unbranded but network locked? Is there a way to check if it is network locked (other than getting a SIM from another network and sticking it in)?

Anyway, no update for me yet. Mine is definitely unbranded but might be locked to Orange UK. I really hope that doesn't make a difference otherwise I probably won't get the update till Xmas!! . Tried check-in code - nothing. COME ON HTC. I have waited ages already for 2.3
[Desire HD General] Q000:
It's not that, now shows the number of new mail not the unread ones, once you open mail app is gone even if you don't read those emails. Before was fine even on more than 99 mails you get 99+ on the circle instead of real number (iPhone has no such issue :p).
[Desire HD General] infra4800:

Here they say 2.3.4 yet all the leaked roms are 2.3.3 so that's weird

[Desire HD General] zabumba:
Can someone explain to me why htc doesn't simply put the ruu.exe on their site and let us updating our DHD's? Are you sure that the update htc releases for unbranded devices is the same that has been released here?
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
Updated automatically yesterday, O2, Czech. All went well. Device feels much faster now, I mean sense - scrolling, etc.

Couple of differences, nothing big.

* notification area has now 2 tabs. 1st one as before, 2nd to set on/off GPS, DATA, etc.

* e-mail client for Gmail changed a bit, "reply" screen now offers more options, looks too complex now

* all programs list has now "most used" apps, and "downloaded" apps, dunno what the latter one is for

* Calendar widget now has photos from FB

* Weather widget has sound (!? been unable to hear anything but there is an option)

Things that happened after update:

* my news HTC widget changed channel :) nothing important, but weird

* one video (mp4 format) that didn't play in gallery (it was visible but button for play was disabled) now kinda plays. It takes ages to run and freezes the system for 10-15 seconds. Weird thing that it played well in other video player - and now it "stutters".... go figure.

So far all I could find....

I got fed up of waiting for VF UK so just used the RUU.exe

It is very quick and simple
[Desire HD General] sgroimax:
Can anyone write to me how many MB is the weight of HTC 2.3 update?

Thank u.

I don't mind it but a friend of mine needs to kwon this because his carrier has a internet data limit set on 50Mb per day.

So I think it too small for updating DHD from device? Isn't it?:mad:
[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
If you get the update via OTA it's been reported to be around 90MB

However, if you download the RUU file off here and do it that way, it's 250MB.

HTC UK have just gave us more news on the OTA update via Facebook:

"Hey guys, firstly we want to thank you all for being so patient about the Gingerbread update. We’ve been pushing this really hard and are pleased to announce that we are aiming to have the HTC Gingerbread update for unlocked HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S models available on 16th May 2011. For those waiting for their specific operator update, rest assured that we’re working very closely with each operator to get this just right and will update you as soon as we possibly can. Once again, we really appreciate your support and patience on this"

The latest update on facebook is different to what ive just been told. This is how it went......

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you... You have been connected to Olga.

Olga: Hi tom, thank you for contacting HTC Support. How may I help you today?

me: Im just wondering when i may be likely to receive the gingerbread update for my desire hd as i have the problems from the 1.72 firmware

Olga: We are pleased to inform you that the 2.3 (Gingerbread) update has been released for the Desire HD last week. To check if the update is available for your handset go MENU - SETTINGS - ABOUT PHONE - SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES - CHECK NOW. If the update is not found just try again in a few days.

me: can you tell me if my phone is sim free please

Olga: Yes, could you please provide your serial number please.

me: my imei number is *************

Olga: Thank you, one moment please.

Olga: As I can see your phone was purchased in Carphone Warehouse and is not locked or branded by any network.

me: ok thanks. So gingerbread has been released in the uk for my type of phone i.e unlocked and unbranded and its just a case of keep trying, am i correct?

Olga: Thats correct, currently we are rolling the update out to over 30,000 devices a day so it may take some time until it reaches you.

me: many thanks for your help

Olga: No worries.

Olga: Is there anything else I can help you with today?

me: no i dont thinks so, just keep my fingers crossed it gets here quick so i dont lose any more messages. Thanks again.
[Desire HD General] Vahur_v:
Location and provider is marked in my profile. Phone is unbranded.
[Desire HD General] craacK:
anyone an idea about vodafone.de updates?
[Desire HD General] BOZG:
It would still be easier to just post them in the thread rather than telling us where we can find them.....
[Desire HD General] BOZG:
Pretty sure I've seen Vodafone DE users claiming that they got the OTA update already.
[Desire HD General] FrikyBCN:
Vodafone Spain just updated this yesterday. All went smooth and now have Gingerbread 2.36.161.12. However, I have had consistent connection problems since the update. Was watching some Youtube videos (while connected to both Wifi and mobile internet) and it kept losing the connection. I had to keep restarting the Wifi connection - very frustrating. It seemed to have completely lost the mobile connection at times too. This never happened before the update. Seems a bit better today, so maybe it was just crows sitting on the wires ;-)

The other noticeable problem is that scrolling just seems really sluggish now, especially on the page where all my Apps are. It used fly down that page really quickly, now it goes slowly and takes a few finger swipes to get through them all. I don't know, maybe that's configurable?

It does look good though, and I'm really hoping to see the promised battery life improvements, as the battery has been by far my biggest problem with an otherwise incredible phone.

Anyone else seeing the connectivity/wifi problems?
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
The scrolling in all apps is not sluggish, but it is changed. Before you were scrolling all the applications and now the apps are divided in pages and you scroll one page at a time.

Just a matter of habit. Some people complain about this because they are used to the old style. Give it some time. I don't have problem with it because all my apps are in folders on a home screen and did not use it much - so no old habit.
[Desire HD General] TelusHTCHero:
Any word about the update for Telus in Canada? I'm not holding my breath, especially considering what they were like with the Hero last year.

Earliest release date for Eclair: June 4th (Taiwan)

Telus release date for Eclair: October 25th.

Difference: about 4 1/2 months.

Needless to say, with the wait for my Hero to get Eclair, I'm not anticipating anything anytime soon, although it would be nice if Telus would surprise me a bit with this...
[Desire HD General] superlj:
I am waiting for 2.3 coming to Telus branded DHD, too

Looks like Telus doesn't have anything for poor us.....
[Desire HD General] plskillme:
Ermm custom roms are way much better than OTA updates IMO...
[Desire HD General] Lokks:
I called HTC and asked them about the Telus DHD and the lady said it should be out before the end of this quarter.
[Desire HD General] MrDamBeaver:
Thanks for that. I really don't like Telus silence over it. But thanks for the information.
[Desire HD General] oliboli:
got my update today all went smooth no problems at all...;-)
