HTC has rolled this update out in part of Europe as far as I know.

A friend of mine has stock HTC rom and he just updated his.

I'm in Australia, but I have a generic Asian/English version (from HK) of a Desire HD on Android 2.2.1, can I do something to get an Australian update instead of a Asian version?

cheers

Brush 2.3.3 has its own version! have to wait for the official version of such a long time!
[Desire HD General] sromer:
Just use the RUU in the development section.

It will see that you're installing it in Australia and apply all the Australian network settings.

Just got it yesterday in japan. Still HTC Sense 2.1 so the UI does not have much difference. But i feel the battery performs better, a little faster too.

[Desire HD General] raseac:
I've started download polish update few seconds ago.. (org, not rooted) via system info update :)..
[Desire HD General] stewarta13wsb:
I got mine a couple of days ago (UK & unbranded phone) and the download was fine but the install blocked the phone - it wouldn't switch on.

Battery out and back in and all went well..... however - it's done the same thing twice since. Switch off at night and sometimes it doesn't switch back on without taking out the battery.

Also had a couple of apps not working. The main one is the handy app for seeing what's using the battery etc., which was recommended here - spare parts.

I'm going to try 'spare parts plus' which it says is updated for 2.3 - as an update it doesn't work either - says it couldn't find battery stats!

Someone with a HTC HD7 had told me they had the same issue and it was related to leaving wi-fi on or a charging issue when you switch it off??

Anybody heard anything or had this issue?

What else should I be noticing with 2.3?
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Spare parts doesn't work, because it calls the parts of the system which got removed.

[Desire HD General] dalanik:
After updating to gingerbread last week I found out after some time some things stopped working, mostly games:

Asphalt 5

Jetcar stunt

Lets golf 2

Pacman

Real fotbal

Shrek cart

Spiderman

all of these started working again when I cleared the temporary files/cache for the program in question.

Two games stopped working and don't work even after uninstall and re-install:

Modern combat 2

Speedx

Also, the one option on "extended controls" widget is not working - it can't turn on/off GPS anymore.... other than that ok...

Desire HD HK Update

I called the HTC Customer Service in Hong Kong today. They said I should expect the 2.3 update be available within June but can't confirm when. It all depends on server availability.

I suspect it is all done testing and is just waiting for a good time to release for marketing purpose. SGS S2 is coming to Hong Kong in mid-June.

I just spoke to htc uk and was told it should go live around 1pm today but its still going to be a stagered roll out and i was told if you dont get it today you will have it within 5 days.. that company take the pi** :mad:
[Desire HD General] MrPloppy:
Thanks for the info - I shall try at 1:00pm, then 1:01, then 1:02 and so on! :D

I don't think they're taking the proverbial, though. There must have been some credible reason for delaying the UK launch, and to stagger the roll out. I don't think there some nefarious evil genius sat behind his desk in a secret bunker under HTC UK Headquarters (just off Wellington Street, Slough), cackling like a madman while he comes up with his plans to annoy us customers. ;)

hi there, does anyone know if i will get the update on a rooted htc desire hd unbranded??? will it being rooted cause an issue?
[Desire HD General] dg170775:
Ok, seems like Incredible S folks have started getting updates.. they're saying so on the FB HTC UK page...
[Desire HD General] sistraw:
Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm guessing that Irish updates will follow the UK timetable (since HTC doesn't seem to recognise Ireland as a different country anyway, at least on htcsense.com) but at this stage I'm not sure how excited I am. Having been burnt by the last update and its associated problems, I'm concerned by the issues raised here (wifi problem especially).

Can I ask, if I install and there are issues, is it possible/would it be straightforward enough to downgrade? I've never rooted phone or done anything non-stock, but I'm not *too* fearful of following instructions to the letter.

While I'm here, thanks for all the info and discussion. I've learned a lot.

Running the same version and software numbers but I used the manual update method from earlier on in the thread but after updating the GPS completely stopped working and wouldn't find a single satellite.

[Desire HD General] Fuwalu:
Hey guys!

I received a notification about this update a week back or so.. Haven't updated yet. I have some questions that may be answered in this thread, other threads, definitely in this forum and maybe (if you know anything about android) even common sense. However I do not know where to start looking, and I didnt find it very fruitful to go through 10 pages in this thread so it wouldn't make sense to continue on to p. 74.

Anyways, my questions are kind of simple, I guess. I have a HTC Desire HD, bought December at the swedish retailer Telia (I assume it is 'branded', atleast it is locked to their network). I do want root access, and I am looking for the easiest, safest way possible to get this. I also want gingerbread. I have not customized or tried to gain root access with my phone in any way, since I shortly after my purchase realized it does not bring the great advantages as, say, jailbreaking an iPhone or flashing a PSP.

* Should I update before I root, or root before I install some custom update?* Also, please point me in the right direction where I can find information about how to root my DHD (and also, if you don't mind, a beginners thread/post about root - where to start, what to do with a newly rooted phone, like what rom to use).

Thank you in advance.

[Desire HD General] FrikyBCN:
Hi

the way things are going in Ireland, they might be wishing they never left the UK! :-)

Just for your info, the Wifi issue I reported hasn't come back, so was just the hours immediately after the update. I haven't noticed any change in battery life. And the annoying slow scroll is still there (it's a feature!).

cheers
[Desire HD General] Maxwell Smart:
It might be because as an existing customer I received mine about two weeks before it was officially announced released. I heard that the ones that were released in the first month or so were slightly different.

But just to be clear, when I say it is an orange branded phone it is not because there is an orange logo anywhere on the phone or boot screen but rather it is locked to orange, has a few orange apps on it (Wednesdays, Account, Plus) and had orange printed documentation in the box.

I've found that so long as I turn off the wifi when out of range the battery life is massively improved! Only used about 10% in half a day. Otherwise the wifi is constantly trying for a signal and drains the battery like crazy!

Just updated on unbranded vodafone UK DHD!

It took about 5 mins on WiFi and it went smoothly. No problems so far.

It definately has a faster/smoother feel to it, and I like the new features (quick settings, changes to app drawer, and the 'Manage Applications' improvements).

I will have to observe battery life. Hopefully it has improved too!

Updated unbranded DHD to 2.3.3.

Software number is 2.36.405.8

Update went smoothly and no problems encountered. First impressions are that screen looks better with more vibrant colours, screen seems more responsive and smooth and speaker seems a bit louder. No apparent problems with WiFi.

I will wait to see if the battery life has improved as others have noted.
[Desire HD General] Dutchship:
After a long wait there now seems to be a number of people excitedly banging on that they've got the update but very little reports of improvements. Is this whole digit-chasing exercise proving to be over-hyped, and not really of substance? Any evidence to the contrary welcome, I'm not expecting my update to mooch in for a couple of weeks yet.

[Desire HD General] Dutchship:
When I first got my DHD the screen looked great, then a month or so ago an update came through which 'enhanced' the colours, and now it looks somewhat ridiculous and cartoonish; I can only pray to Allah and the gang that it isn't going to be made any worse with this new update. It's a great shame you can't adjust the colour profile to correct their Dixons-style saturation/contrast/brightness to-the-max ethos that makes everything look awful.
