[Desire HD General] HNKS:
Has anyone on Orange Pay monthly (UK) received this update yet???
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Ok then it's not worth it...waiting for new update.
[Desire HD General] drift_puncher:
Seems my phone is from Asia, any idea when its coming there?
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Try support. Mine arrived before they replied but they'll tell you when.
[Desire HD General] SithSurfer:
I've managed to update my without any problems - no random txt's, reboots or drained battery. Everything's working smooth as silk.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
to all of you having CPU issues, sms problems and reboots

you have no choice but to preform factory reset, backup everything and wipe and if you loose root you can reapply using my method and no a factory reset will not lose any update

I say this because I have non of your issues and I didn't even wipe, there must be something wrong in ur data not system files, this updates fixes a lot of stuff its worth it
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
good for you
[Desire HD General] makbil:
I don't have any issues with this update either. The only thing I have noticed is that if I turn off USB Debugging I still have the lag issue from time to time. So I have turned on USB debugging and things seem OK now.
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Yeah, but I've also deleted all my phone saved contacts, and now i wonder if this bug was triggered by the linked contacts saved to phone memory.
[Desire HD General] :
DHD - T Mobile UK (Stock)

Update installed, batttery life much improved, volume a little louder, and seems quicker and smoother, no 100% cpu problems here (with or without USB Debugging enabled)

Only bug I have is that now when i get a text message from my bank its named as one of my friends, which it never done before the update.

This bug was present on the Standard Desire and was fixed, lets hope it gets fixed soon, but overall this update - 8/10

[Desire HD General] :
If memory serves me correctly, since i received the phone just 7 days ago, I have received two updates OTA.

Which was especially nice ;)

EDIT I think one was a radio update, then the second one was the rom update.
[Desire HD General] tony_reilly:
I must say, I'm quite impressed with the battery life since the update (after I got rid of the 100% CPU bug).

I plugged the phone out at 11am this morning. Quite heavy texts (50+ sent today and at least that received). 10+ calls (incoming and out going) at 3-10mins each. Some Angry Birds, Some Market Updates. Disconnected my Facebook Acc and reconnected to cure a bug in the calendar (facebook entries were there twice), so all that data had to reload. Twitter usage through out the day. WiFi on all day. GPRS Radio only.

Now at 12.15, I've still got 50% Battery left! I would NEVER have gotten that previously. Not with the heavy use I gave it today.

How are other people finding it!?
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Hi

Other than battery life (the improvement of which not everyone seems to agree upon) and 720p, what other stuff is fixed?

I've yet to see a definitive list.

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] gominolo2002:
Hi!

About what you say of 1.72 and 1.75 ROM, I think the 1.72 is for the official HTC ROM. The 1.75 is the ROM of Vodafone in Spain.

Greetings
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
The sms bug started again, even after full factory reset!!! I've installed Go SMS from Market and now I wait for another update maybe.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
The battery life may be better with the new ROM but it's hard to say as it depends almost entirely on the screen usage, not so much on talking, wi-fi or other stuff.

This was kind of retarded on HTC's part to have such a low capacity battery for a device with such a big screen. Reminded me of the Sony Ericsson P990i which could have been an excellent device if it wasn't crippled by 64 MB of RAM only - incidentally, that was the device which started the downfall of SE, not that I think HTC is going that way :)
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Yes, I had a p990... and HTC reminds me of SE too, with crazy design decisions.
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
Just installed the damn update :)

Also CPU issue, i don't know where i can see CPU usage, but my battery which was very nice before, dies by 1% 2-3 min...

Tried removing sense thing, didn't helped, any more suggestions are very welcome.

Thank you.

Update:

Hmmm, i think it stopped now... Damn, i haven't been so nervous about anything hehe... Damn technology.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
Mine is 1.72 also. Hmm
[Desire HD General] Codana:
I knew it, I just knew it!

Luckily I didn't hardreset my DHD...
[Desire HD General] freecom2:
Yes, I checked for updates a couple of days ago and it was available (haven't installed it yet though, too many possible bugs and errors being mentioned here for me to risk doing so).
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
More missed calls for me so that one wasn't resolved with the update. So far, this is my biggest problem with the DHD.

Then there was this random reboot but so far, didn't happen again (just once).

And about SMS notification, I'm not sure but there could be one that I don't remember if I received a notification. It was when all those wishes messages were arriving massively and so I can't tell for sure if for that 1 I had notification but fo the rest which arrive 1-by-1, I had notifications for all of them. I also tested for what someone mentioned here and I sent myself a message while I was typing another one and there was absolutely no problem.

Anyone having issues with missed calls?
[Desire HD General] kosique:
After the update WLAN is fu**ed. One has to reconnect to the AP from time to time in order to use Internet. Seems overall slower.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
You probably did something wrong.

How did you do the update?
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
This doesn't sound like a new bug, i didn't updated yet and had this too - once you turn off the display, the WiFi goes away in few seconds. Then when you turn your display on, you are on mobile data again.

This is a old bug.
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
This is not a bug. This is the wi-fi sleep policy. You can change it from Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-fi Settings -> Advanced

Maybe the update changes the setting to sleep after 15 min. Just change it to never. Mine is on never and stays connected all the time.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
That's correct. From settings -> wireless & networks -> wi-fi settings -> advanced -> wi-fi sleep policy -> set to never
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Except that didn't worked with any version of firmware - 15 minutes or never, same result.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Do you also have best wi-fi performance selected?
[Desire HD General] jorjino2000:
Yes, I had.

Now I am using Missed Reminder and no more missed calls.

Please - try it.

Regards.;)
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Maybe we face different problem. I was talking about incoming calls being mistakenly diverted to the answering machine when it shouldn't since the signal is strong enough. I later receive notification sms from my carrier about the missed call.

I don't have any problem with displaying the missed call or missed sms notification message.
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Yes, I get this problem when I'm at work - there seems to be poor 3G coverage in that area, and 2G doesn't work simultaneously with voice calls, hence the dropped calls. Not sure whether this is a software or provider problem. Orange are looking into this for me.
[Desire HD General] mjt:
So... what's the general consensus on this update? Best to wait for a fixed update from HTC?
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
For me, this update is a nightmare, I wish I've never done it. With prevoius 1.32 stock the phone worked great, now is full of bugs even after factory resets + sd card formated!
[Desire HD General] Nodeuk:
For me, its worked fine...so really the answer is....you feeling lucky? :p
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
I sent a message to HTC like I said before, and they replied about the battery life halving and the 100% CPU use, by saying there was a information conflict. Their answer was to back up and do a factory reset. So when I get home ill try it.

I got 6 hours out of this thing at work. Fair enough I used it quite hard, but before the update it was doing double that. The CPU is randomly spiking as it is and the battery is warming up 10 degrees over normal.
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
I probably should also say its done some hissy fits and given me black screens slowing down to a crawl. Even after rebooting the phone. Last night it was not happy.
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Yes, Wi-Fi sleep policy - Never, Best Wi-Fi performance - yes. It randomly disconnects itself from the WiFi AP and never reconnects, not even after i turn the display on. It simply drops the WiFi connection and that's it. Sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in more. This was true with the initial firmware and after the first updates too. I have yet to install this latest one, but because i need the root for MarketAccess, i can't yet upgrade (and i'm not willing to tinker with S-OFF stuff).
[Desire HD General] flindell:
no problems at all here :-) much better battery 24 hours no an 2,50 h talk 1 hour playing, playd a couple of songs, and maybe 20 sms. stock settings and gps on. putting to charge now.

feels like they raised the volum? any one know?
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Will be any problems if I flash my phone with the 1.32.405.6 stock ROM because I don't want this buggy update in my phone?
[Desire HD General] spookamiester:
Yes, got my notification on Christmas Eve.

You can check manually too through settings>about phone>system software updates
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
Was feeling the same...for me battery had a prolonged life. and Sound was better....may be just illusion. No way to test though. I had Root and S-Off with CWM installed. unknowlingly hit the update. while it was updating logged into XDA to find out this removes the root and gives problems....

Didn't have any problems in installing nor after installing, just that i've lost root. Need to Re-root again.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
I've had one today, never happened before. Noticed I had apps warning me about insuficient memory resources prior to the reboot.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
I am wondering if those who have problems after the update have had at least once, custom ROMs and root or touched in anyway the default system software in a way that HTC would not have known when they developped the patch.

I have no problems but I have never rooted, used custom roms, etc.

That kind of practice, modifies the system in some areas permanently so even if you disable those custom features, some system areas remain modified (my opinion)

I suggest that as a starting point in order to troubleshoot and isolate the problem.

If now, many people have not modified their phones and face the same problems, then I withdraw this idea.
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Had S-OFF before update, but no CustomROM.
[Desire HD General] rhtizzy:
Had the update for a couple of days now and all seemed fine to start off with but also having WiFi issues now too. Every now and then after waking the phone, the AP is disconnected but the Wifi icon is still presented pretending it's connected and still using power. No data transfer tho until manual disconnect and reconnect. The symptom is inconsistent so might be a combination of factors also involving the router, mine is a recently new Sitecom WL-342.

Also noticed that (using Current Widget) standby consumption without Wifi activated is between 1 - 4 mAmps, with Wifi it still uses about 85-100mAmps in standby. So steadily losing power even tho nothing being used. It was definitely not like that before the update where it lasted hours without serious consumption if I wasn't using the phone.

Standard firmware BTW, no custom roms or other changes.
[Desire HD General] Mirac78:
It's a provider problem. I had same problem, when i surf at 2G my calls get diverted to answering machine. Just few weeks ago my operator fix the problem and everything works great..
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Had my first random reboot too last night during the arsenal-chelsea match.

I get the feeling that maybe this firmware wad rushed.. many bugs...
[Desire HD General] angelahp:
Hi

I had my notification come through this morning (uk unlocked unbranded) and the installation went fine, the phone is fine .... however, i've lost my root, i was using visionary app. Is there a root for the phone that i can use now ??

thanks

angie
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Well, I've never touched my phone's software. I have an unbranded Desire HD, all was fine till I've done this buggy update. Now I'm thinking to flash my phone with the 1.32.405.6 stock ROM if it's possible and after that I'll never install this update.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Hold the volume up and power button at the same time. You can restart from the menu that pops up.

Sent by the air.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
I wonder if HTC hired some code monkeys from Sony Ericsson? This brings back not so fond memories from the P990 :)

Fortunately, I haven't experienced this yet.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
i don't get it, i just sent myself 4 messages and they are all showing their number accurate in green over the messages icon

and the number count is accurate in the notification area :confused:
[Desire HD General] Beefhead:
I have the exact same issue. All I have to do is to disconnect and reconnect again. I am sure it's not the router though because I have it at 3 different locations with (different routers). Been having this problem since I bought the phone, not just since the update.
[Desire HD General] michalrysina:
Hello I have DHD. I rooted my phone with Visionary and I deinstallated some aplications (facebook, etc.) . And I download the new update and it doesnt work. Where is the mistake? Thank you. Sorry for my English
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
the problem is that you uninstalled those programs.
[Desire HD General] ihercowitz:
Hello!

I have updated my DHD today and after that my launcherpro showed errors and I couldn't use swype anymore...

So, I changed the homescreen to HTC Sense, reboot the DHD and then changed to LauncherPro and Swype, I had to re-install it, and now everything works great :D

I also tested the camera improvements (sharpness -2) and the pictures look better...

The Gallery application is faster too...

Sorry for my bad english...

Regards,

Igor
[Desire HD General] michalrysina:
Yes I know but there are any solution?

You are in the right thread. Keep reading... If I were you I would go to this thread and follow the instructions precisely... You seem to be going about it the wrong way.

Another thing I started getting is force close for some apps, both system and 3rd party. Never had that before.
[Desire HD General] Stormingsoul:
Same problem here, have gotten it since the last OTA,

Before never expierenced any issues for weeks

Router is a Dlink-655

Only thing that works is disabling wifi and then re-enabling wifi
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
I have the same router with Hardware Version: A2, Firmware Version: 1.31EU

and I don't have this problem.
[Desire HD General] noisy_lightning:
Same problem with mine as well with a ZyXel router, tried it with my friends apple airport as well and has the same issue. Only started since the update along with the text notifiction problems.

The wifi problem only seems to be a problem though if I try to download an app from the market place or do a manual check for an OTA Update. If I use facebook its fine, then straight away try the market and it fails and I need to cycle the wifi.
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
I encountered the wifi issue too. i use the wifi to go off after 15mins using the sleep policy settings. when i wake up the display the wifi connects but does not work. so i have to manually disconnect and reconnect for wifi to start working again.
[Desire HD General] mkudeath:
Does anybody know how to get (install) this update manually, I'm still waiting when I'll be able to do update. Every day checking for new update but nothing.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Take a look here.
[Desire HD General] Protongti:
Problem with weather location under the clock after update. It won't update my current location
[Desire HD General] webfoolery:
Same problem I have, also Orange UK. It's been going on for at least a year. Not phone specific as it was the same on my N958gb.

Having read this forum from beginning to end I'm going to delay installing this update. It hasn't popped up automatically yet but I'm not particularly bothered.

Thanks all for sharing your experiences.

hello i have a rooted dhd when i try to update it just stops mid way throw dont mind if i lose root could somebody help plz thanks
[Desire HD General] Hamtaro73:
Updated last week (OTA 1.72.405.3.) on my non-branded Vodaphone DHD. After updating I noticed that:

-	I got a new worldwide license for premium navigation. I had activated the First license right after buying the DHD on October 16th, so that one expired a month ago. Now I have a new one expiring on 27-01-2011. Luckily the lifetime license that i bought is still valid (had to manually synchronize to have it show again).

Also all my settings (like Dutch voice instead of english) where set back to default.

-	Sounds seems to be louder, which is a good thing!

-	Experience a lot of freezes on the standard browser that came with the DHD. I did some tests and it seems that turning on mobile display has an effect on it. With mobile display turned on i get the freezes. This is really crappy ‘cause the browser is one of the main apps.

Any of you have the same experience with the freezing of the browser?

I agree - I'll wait too. Just sorry so many here have had such problems. What on earth are HTC playing at???
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
Clear cache, cookies, history, etc, do a proper reboot (no fastboot) then see if it sorts out.

Android System process issues after OTA update

Hey

I am getting the same issue, the phone has the Android system process taking up most resources having it on for just about as long as the phone is ON, i.e. if phone has been 2 hours since last unplugged, Android system is on @least 1:30hours of that. This is definately an issue with Android system, maybe the update did not go 100% and there is a buggy function.

I have seen that the same has not occured with someone else who has the same phone and has updated, meaning it may not be a global issue.

Any fix??

Thanks in advance. And happy festive season.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
In general I don't have this issue. However, I have noticed that randomly the CPU does go to 100% and this also slows down the device. This condition doesn't last for long, 10-60 seconds at most but the device is really unresponsive at that point. Seems to happen after some time and a restart usually fixes it. This started after the update but the good thing is that it doesn't happen very often.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Memory card no longer recognised

Hi,

I wasn't able to find any mention of this, however since doing the OTA update, my phone does not pick up my memory card. It come up with a triangle saying it had been unexpectedly removed (which is hadn't). I removed and replaced it, however it's not even picking it up so that I can mount it again.

I have a stock ROM, I've not made any changes to the phone at all, not rooted, etc.

Has anyone else had any issues? This is the second memory card that has gone, however I find this one a bit of a coincidence after the OTA update.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Try to format it using FAT32 partition, maybe the card is just corrupted.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
I dont mean to be impatient but the answer to your problem is mentioned several times in this and other threads. Just use stock application manager to force close everything you can (some say just the sync app but i cant verify).
[Desire HD General] skullnubien:
Hi,

I have attempted to kill all apps I am able to, disconnect from the internet both 3G and Wifi, auto-sync turned off and even after doing a factore reset the device behaves the same way. I have had a bit of luck only when the phone goes into battery save level (30% for me) but that seems to be a hit or miss, because it sometimes is fine on that level for a while, otherwise it just works the same.

Some have reported having wifi turned on will cause this issue, am still testing that theory.

It is quite annoying to know that HTC haven't done relevant tests properly before rolling out this update, this Update needs Updating ASAP!!

Anyone know how to downgrade the ROM??

Thanks
[Desire HD General] pauluz!:
i've put on the last update and I must say it drains the battery really quick. Let's hope HTC will provide us with a new update.

How to downgrade it? I've tried to put on an older RUU with the bootloader, but it said "the main system is older" or something like that.
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
After upgrade I find out there is massive improvement in GPS fix time, now always take me less than 5 second, all the time always. Lovely.
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
After upgrade, never had problem, even not once, looks to me all your problems comes from some where else!?
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Battery is really ****.

30min in facebook/browser -> 15% less. write some SMS -> 5-10% less.

:mad:
[Desire HD General] cismconn:
strange the problems people are having.

for me (unbranded UK on voda, no rooting), the update has been great.

Much faster gallery (x2-5 times + refresh), better photo quality and battery life much improved.

wonder what people have syncing.

I always thought a facebook/ gmail/ htc contact sync was jamming my phone up previously, update has cleared this?
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Sync off, brightness 15%, only 3G -> 8-10h, max. 16h :(
[Desire HD General] aspirina:
I'm having a weird wifi problem, whenever I leave a wifi area and come back the DHD doesn't reconnect, I have to reconnect manually. Any ideas?

BTW quadrant went up a bit 1947 :)
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
Look to all people who say that battery is ****:

It's simply not true. Try to look in to your settings.

My phone as of now:

Unplugged for 65 hrs, 45 % battery left.

I didn't used it much, i agree. Display time is at 35 min with 100% brightness.

voice calls 30 min.

WiFi on all the time, same goes for 3G.

20 min internet and gaming.

Just check your settings, cause with heavy use i can get 12 hrs of that thing with no probs.

By heavy i don't mean non stop use, but never the less playing games, watching movies and such drains battery very nice.

I don't believe for a second that my stock battery is better then yours. Minor differences can happen, but only minor.

Really, check your updates and other stuff. So far I've solved all issues i had. After update my battery was dieing as well. Removed htc sense and it only got better. Great phone and so many things you can do with it.

Don't worry, just study it, all will be just fine.
