I don't understand it. WLAN off, GPS off, Sync off, Brightness 15% -> lost 20% over night in 9 hours. And than I checked 2 websites (2-3min) at lost again 3%.

Battery broken or bug?
[Desire HD General] Stoffl_:
Something is using lots of CPU time.

Get batteryleft application from market, use it's history button to check CPU/network usage

This is how it should look like on a properly configured phone with mild use:

CPU usage since last boot

network usage since last boot

Im loosing ~3% battery over night with flight mode enabled, 10% with 3g enabled and email/weather syncs. HTC sync is disabled and the account has been removed, not using any facebook/newssync/whatever

Oh and Im using the old 1.32 version, no OTA update for me so far.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Since the update i've now got:

An SD card that keeps un mounting

Weather location can't updated current location

Worse battery life

very slow to lock on GPS

I spoke to HTC customer services who said they need it in for repair. But the phone isn't broken... its the firmware. They still insist the phone now needs a repair job even though it was ok before.

The customer service dept shold be made to read this forum every day as part of thier knowledge training.
[Desire HD General] Hamtaro73:
Thanks MaybachMan, seems to have done the trick!
[Desire HD General] oggins:
customer service (htc) also wan`t my phone in for "repair" because of the SMS problems after the update...!!! They are clueless...:confused:
[Desire HD General] whosalex:
Exactly the same for me. Phone is rooted, but im running the custom sense ui which came with my phone.

that stupid upadte notification is still there though, If i cant update my phone is there any way i can remove the notification?
[Desire HD General] Firething:
you can update your phone.... no prob... just check the forums for the "applying update without losing root" thread... i had same prob as you, and i downgraded to 1.32 before applying update... thread wasnt open by then, so .. i lost root... but flashing update through cvm should work... cheers!
[Desire HD General] arkanovios:
Updated today on a completely stock DHD.

Unlocked, unbranded, un-everything.

So far so good, no glitches or problems or bugs. I will abuse it to check everything thoroughly :)
[Desire HD General] hawkwind:
Hi, before i install the update could someone let me know what is the best way to monitor cpu usage so i can compare before and after update.

Had a look on the market but a lot of conflicting replies to a lot of apps, Thanks :)
[Desire HD General] Stoffl_:
....check page 37 ?

watchtower for realtime cpu usage
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
The application name is Battery Monitor .
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
It seems that most people suffer from different symptoms. I didn't face most of the issues that other people mentioned but I found others.

Now, I discovered a new issue which I never had before.

Anyone discovered problems with HTC sync? I connect my phone on USB and it keeps searching for HTC sync on the PC and cannot find it. It works after PC & Phone reboot.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I can't believe how HTC expect to get away with this.

I paid £500 cash for this POS which now unmounts the sd card amongst other new issues. They need to do thier R and D and not charge us for it.

If the iPhone had these problems the press whould be all over it!

And as for the htcsense.com what a joke. Doesn't work and hasn't for weeks!
[Desire HD General] mexlamri:
the battery is much better now after the update" I waited few days to see"

- now there is a natural support of xvid but not vidx yet .

best regards
[Desire HD General] makbil:
The problem is that these issues are not general, some people have hem others do not. I am one of the more fortunate ones as I don't have any of these problems. The only issue I have is that sometimes (not too often) CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there for up to a minute, almost locking the phone. I have traced the source to HTC Sense not responding. Now it doesn't have to be system related though, could easily be a widget I've installed or a live wallpaper. I'm thinking of cleaning up the screens and adding stuff one at a time to find the culprit.

As for the iPhone comment, well we all know how Steve Jobs enlightened everyone on how to hold a phone and it took them umpteen updates to add copy/paste each time blatantly stating that function was not a priority in their to do list, so I would still prefer to deal with HTC despite all their incompetence.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
needless to say you should seek their warranty, i don't have any of your issues, i'm sorry i'm even digging for the sms notification error and i'm getting none of it, all messages i'm receiving are notified

the dhd has been running awesome with this update fast enough that i dont feel the need of a custom kernel

something wrong with your unit, a universal agreed on bug is one thing, a freak incident is another

did you check if your is properly plugged or if the SD cover is damaged?
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Ah, so I see I'm not the only one that's having issues with the memory card disappearing!
[Desire HD General] makbil:
I don't have a problem with SMS or MMS notifications either.

Those having a problem with their SD cards, did you try to format it on your PC using FAT32?
[Desire HD General] Tsurany:
My phone is the official rom it came with, all that's changed is I froze some apps with Titanium Backup, but that shouldn't affect things I believe.
[Desire HD General] robE9:
i can be wrong but since the OTA updates some app`s i guess it can affect(if you froze the apps he is tryin to update), don`t know for sure :)
[Desire HD General] mancuk29:
Which country are you all in I'm in uk no update on unlocked unbranded ?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
the update will stop root, titanium backup is an app that needs root
[Desire HD General] cracksquirrel:
Nothing for me yet either, Also unlocked and unbranded :-(
[Desire HD General] Mirac78:
Same here, i did quick test and see there is no lag..just one short in the start of video recording, after that is go ok.. Before update i have lot lag. So some things are definitely improved..

Yes in low light is still lousy..but it's just a phone :)

[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Hm... Same here, but no update yet...
[Desire HD General] Patrics83:
Sorry for this noob question... I´m new to android and woundering if my settings and apps will be erased after installing the latest update?

Regards Patric
[Desire HD General] avenge the rage:
No update available here in the UK on unlocked and unbounded phone
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Nothing will be erased :) But don't panic if the update takes a couple of minutes. Just let it do its thing.
[Desire HD General] Patrics83:
Thanks for the quick answear! Will update this evening.
[Desire HD General] Goodm7sn:
Since the ota installed and I'm having cpu usage @ 100% !!! Been 2 hours now, tried restarts, end all apps still the same.

Mainly over 50% cpu usage is from "android system" and I hasn't the sync icon in status bar since the update.cleared calendar and g mail cache too but nothing.

Anyone else having the same thing.help if u know how to solve this chis battery is being drained very quickly
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
No update here also and I don't think that this is country specific as updates should be global.

Maybe the update is detected only on rooted devices in order to stop them ?

Anyone had the update on non-rooted device?
[Desire HD General] Kulacoglu:
No update here in Turkey.
[Desire HD General] mjl_79:
I have non-rooted device and already downloaded update. Now charging because battery was too low for install. No custom rom or anything like that.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
true i had a usb unmount problem once with the old desire, turned out something got corrupt on the SD and nothing solved it except a format

maybe the sd itself is malfucntioning

i don't get going on doom and gloom mode when really only a few a reporting such an issue, something else must be wrong....
[Desire HD General] MacDegger:
I had removed some programs too, and one of them had just had it's .apk disappeared (even though I'd used Titanium backup to back it up before removal). I even tried getting the ereaderlibrary.apk from other sources (roms etc), but still the update wouldn't run (wrong md5 checksum, probably).

So I just backed up, flashed an earlier stock ROM, rooted, s-offed etc again and used the instructions from the "upgrade without loosing root" thread. Worked perfectly. Only thing is my backed-up call history only has numbers without names. for the calls which had previoulsy been made.

I have zero problems with the new update, except I suspect my battery life is slightly worse than it was. But maybe that's because I have to recondition the battery and have been using the DHD quite intensively ...

PS: maybe for those with the sdcard (un)mounting ... try reseating your sdcard manually and try un- and re-mounting it using clockworkmod.
[Desire HD General] Stormingsoul:
After the FOTA i had some issues aswell.

Did a reset to factory defaults.. Problems are gone now for 4 days :D

I can only advise you to do the same.

Had problems with WIFI (reconnecting) issues.

SMS notifications. (Using sms pop up anyway)

They are all gone now.

Remind to backup your data!!

Got more battery, better/louder speaker, overall faster phone and camera has improved!
[Desire HD General] Stoffl_:
Well I guess theres a multitude of apps showing those informations, but as stated in my post I was using "batteryleft".
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
listen to this wise man people ;)
[Desire HD General] brantje:
Hello,

Where can i download this update as a installer on the pc?

Strange,i have no problems

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I've just spoken to someone at HTC Customer Services who has confirmed there is an issue with the new update which affects the unmounting of the SD card and the location issue with the weather app. The only thing they recomend is sending it back to HTC who will flash the phone back to the previous version.

Why can't they just allow us to roll back ourselves? why not push the old update back over the air? surely its cheaper for them than having to pay a courier and staff for all those of us with issues.

We really are beta testers aren't we!
[Desire HD General] makbil:
It's been like that for ages. Ask any Sony Ericsson user and they will tell you how a flagship device was put on the market with pre-beta software.

As for those bugs, I really don't have a problem with the SD card, so perhaps it depends on the way the update was performed. Those with the card issue: did any one of you have any applications installed on the SD card? I didn't.
[Desire HD General] d34d3nd:
after the update had the first random reboot.. :confused:
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
me too... they said it will need to go in for repair so they can flash the previous firmware. 10 day turn around incase you're wondering.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
I have non if your issues not even the weather widget location problem you talk of, everything work perfectly smooth

something is wrong with your unit or your data, you think an iPhone update never broke a phone by chance? in fact apple intentionly crippled the iPhone 3G with iOS 4, I have updated two desire HDs both working fine

your issues are not related to the firmware, something in your data is simply incompatible

all of you suffering issues wipe your phone

it seems there is a lot of cry babies around here ;) at this rate HTC will stop issuing updates altogether
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I've hard reset 3 times. You bet I'm a cry baby. I paid £500 cash for this. Boo hoo...
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
all I'm saying as always there must be a reason for your issues, since others don't have it, so please don't generalize it

your comments about Apple won't help you either, you get one answer, go get an iPhone! however since you consider a badass device like the DHD a POS i'm afraid you will only find disappointments

as for my constructive contribution (ur comment that you later removed) look around this forum you will find plenty
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I edited it cos I mis read your post and and then realised you were jesting. So it was only right to correct myself. How can one go about re-installing without sending the phone away? Maybe you're right there is a corrupt file? But once youve downloaded it then that's it. Seems crazy to have to send it away..
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
from what I understand your phone is vodaphone branded? if so try to look for the equivalent RUU firmware installer and flash it again, if its not branded the 1.72 RUU is available in the development thread

another thing to keep in mind you are reporting reboot and SD unmounts did you make sure your SIM SD and battery are all plugged in firmly, your plastic covers all undamaged? check the DHD issues thread about this
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Mine is un branded. I'll try the 1.72 RUU and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Desire HD General] cracksquirrel:
Updated from stock everything as soon as update was available, Not a single problem here, Everything working exactly as it should be, Love this phone.
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
New 1.72 is evil :D

Sent from my Best DhD
[Desire HD General] springy:
Yup, I got 3 random reboots... and yes I think it is caused by the HTC Sense App. I got a exception message came up, but before I could copy it, it rebooted.. LOL

HTC should not have release the update over Christmas. We now probably have to wait well into the new year for an update.. LOL
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
I removed sense account,it really messes up phone.

What kind update?

Sent from my Best DhD
[Desire HD General] thedan55:
hey hey im in uk, vodafone software branded, on 1.75.161.2 and loving it!!!

no problems all good!!!!!m but did loose root lol faster better better better!!!!!!!!
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Is it OK to delete ROM Manager once we have done the update? I have noticed that it uses a fair amount of CPU from time to time. Also HTC Sense starts using up to 100% CPU after 5-6 hours, after about a minute returns to normal. It happens when I wake the phone - cause still undetermined as to whether it's a widget I have that is causing this.
[Desire HD General] pavoni:
Likewise, unbranded, updated from stock about 7 days ago. Whilst I admit that reading this thread from when it started has made me nervously check it every day, I think my beautiful DHD is performing even better. I've experienced none of the currently declared problems thus far and I don't really think I will get any. Now.... where is that Gingerbread?
[Desire HD General] Rattlehead.ie:
Either HTC have pulled this update from their systems or there is something odd with my phone. Not getting the update here at all on my Unbranded phone while 3 r 4 other people on the same network are getting it!

By reading this thread thought I don't think I really want the update :p
[Desire HD General] mjt:
I'm afraid this doesn't seem to reconcile with earlier comments stating that HTC have confirmed there's a problem with their update.

The fact is that if HTC have released firmware that is incompatible with existing Android-standards-compliant applications, then the blame lays squarely with HTC. Poor poor poor.... if I released code like this in my job, I'd have been sacked by now.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
The update is not dependent on the network but on the origin of the device. I got the update several days before a friend on the same network. The only difference is his phone was from the UK whereas mine was from the US (but of French origin).
[Desire HD General] rhtizzy:
I updated a couple of days back without much incident until yesterday when the 100%cpu bug started up on me.

It happened after I'd installed Skype through the market and then uninstalled it again after which HTC sync went haywire and couldn't finish a cycle. Switched syncing off but it was too late, something had gotten it's wires crossed and according to the Watchtower, Android System Info & OS monitor applications it was the android system process itself using up as much cpu time as possible. It was actually quite surprising

how responsive the phone still was but using Current Widget I could see it was using more power than usual.

I then removed the HTC sense account via the sync settings and rebooted after which everything appeared to have quietened down again. So I started up HTC hub and was asked to reconnect to my sense account which I did. Everything remained stable and it still hasn't reoccured yet, processing time down to a minimum again as is power consumption.

So IMHO it's definitely the HTC sense syncing process (which is apparently rather unstable) at the root of the 100%cpu issue, but a simple fix to recover.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
I flashed the latest RUU and the SMS notification problems are still here.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Did you let Skype do contacts sync?
[Desire HD General] TurtlePower:
Have the same issue couldn't close anything from osmonitor but found if I went into settings on the phone and went into "about", battery usage and opened HTC sense and force closed it my CPU usage dropped off immediately and seems to stay that way. So far you will need to do this everytime you reboot .
[Desire HD General] makbil:
This is pretty much what I'm getting but it only starts happening after 5-6 hours. So I'm guessing after some time you will get this again, please check if this is so.

Next year, meaning tonight :) , I will delete the HTC Sense account and see if that changes anything.

Happy New Year everyone :)
[Desire HD General] chiel54:
Since the update I loose my WiFi connection on a regular basis. Further, sometimes my DHD becomes laggy and sometimes the Android system cannot find my contacts. So strange!! I want my DHD to function like it was: superb.
[Desire HD General] Stormingsoul:
Again i have only one solution, and it worked for me for the above issues.

RESEEEEEEEEETTTTT TOOOO FACTORYYYY DEFAULLLTSS

:D

Clears everything, and makes the update work superbb.

Seems to be some settings or apps messing with the FOTA when it's getting installed.

Clearing the sys and letting android update on a clear system seems to be the solution?

Dont forget to backup your stuff
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I downloaded the RUU for 1.72. I get error 171 when trying to flash. Searching around on here I need XP which I don't have and android sdk which i also don't have..

is there another way round this error 171? other wise i guess its back to the shop it goes which i don't really want to do...

edit: it seems the RUU times out after 10 seconds rendering it useless. Or maybe I'm useless? any tips?

thanks.
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
Backing up our data (applications ,settings, contacts) before factory resetting ... and then re-installing our old data after the reset.... won't the old problems come back again ?
[Desire HD General] thedan55:
ok per my last post about my DHD updating to 1.75.161.2

i am now experiencing some problems lol videos sometimes wont play until a reboot (strange but audio will play video will freeze on a single frame) and games show a lag when playing some games.

i know i should factory reset but i lost root and cant restore with titanium so i am reluctant too lol
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
I have no probs with 1.72

Sent from my Best DhD
[Desire HD General] Obskure:
I've tried doing this since the update was released, but the phone just shows the "checking now" until I cancel out of it!

Any ides for a fix? I figured that I just may have to reset the phone & see what happens, but not looking forward to the hassle of setting up again.
[Desire HD General] dukynko:
I had this problem too, but i used a task manager, i had only 100 mb ram free, so kill some apps and had 300 mb free and camera works again...
[Desire HD General] biohaz55:
Reset

OK guys, this has been said many times in this thread but I'll say it again.

I experienced most of these problems since the update until yesterday where, as a last resort, I did a factory reset.

My DHD is now good, fast, responsive with a better battery life so please try a factory reset.... it does solve the update problem!
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
After factory reset, is the update still installed or you need to reapply it?
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
Installed of course
[Desire HD General] alfa71omega:
Same for me. I noticed a good improvement of the camera quality expecially in the night shots. I'm testing the the battery up to now.
[Desire HD General] Codana:
LOL if it would be so easy to get root :D

I tried a fullwipe and installed the RUU, problems still there.
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Despite saying earlier I'd wait for HTC to fix the update, I couldn't help myself.... I've done it. All seems well thus far....
[Desire HD General] ElmarK:
Since the update Swype (I am a beta tester) does not work anymore. The keyboard disappears after some milliseconds.
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
Maybe someone can work with new update,to let downgrade to stock.

send from my DHD
[Desire HD General] farqui:
we found ths too - resolved by using the Swype repair option (within manage apps). if this doesn't help then the swype beta website faq also suggests reinstalling. good luck
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Where is this repair option you're talking about?
[Desire HD General] farqui:
Have a look see here; http://beta.swype.com/android/faq/
[Desire HD General] ElmarK:
Reinstalling of swype was the trick. It is working again. - Thanks.
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
:mad: NO : many people are reporting here that this doesn't allways solve those issues

And many other report that HTC confirmed the issues...

Could people stop to think the problem isn't real if they're not affected? This would help. Obviously it's kinda random.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
This reminds me of a strange problem we had with HTC HD. There were a few devices that were seriously hit with a "lockup" problem with some ROMs but others weren't affected at all. I always wondered if there could have been minute hw differences that caused this.

I seem to be very mildly affected. After 6 hours or so I occasionally get the CPU 100% issue which is fixed with a reset. The situation is slightly better since I removed the HTCSense account. I can see that it is HTC Launcher that is the culprit.
[Desire HD General] papaki1974:
weather widget location

Still problem with weather widget location under the clock after update. It won't update my current location.

I've already done factory reset and remove widget and put it back. Any ideas:confused:?
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
Sounds like flashing a non-Sense ROM would fix the issues, then. If resetting to factory defaults, from both OS and bootloader level, isn't working for you, then have a go at a new ROM, at least until HTC release an official fix.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
That seems like the logical conclusion. First I should try to clean all the widgets & live wallpaper but it really doesn't bother me so much. I'll just wait for a new update before going through that hustle.
