I kind of assumed this was to help get rid of the 'stutters' in the 720p recording mode for video recording.

Before the update, I noticed that there would be stuttering at times. This is also mentioned in several tech blog reviews as well (e.g. GSM Arena's review and Engadget's review)

Following the OTA update, I've taken 3 videos at 720p resolution, and haven't noticed any stuttering in the video. So far so good.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tbalden:
I can agree, experienced much smoother video rec 720p.

Don't know if this has already been mentioned: I can now select dutch language for my hardware keyboard. So wordcompletion and spelling control work sweet. With english as second language this is very nice.

One bug which annoys me still remains. You cannot use googlenav yet with the downloaded maps from route66. In carpanel when you plot your destination it will ask if you would like to navigate with premium nav or google nav. When you select google nav it will state: Could not understand destination. (translated from dutch).

I "typed" the destination. I didnt speak at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I'm not sure Google navigation will ever work with the pre-supplied maps on the SD card, will it ? Because they're used by a completely separate application, HTC Navigation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I might have missed it, but I don't recall anyone with a Bell ROM saying they've had an OTA update yet. I think it's only been rolled out by HTC themselves, not any carriers with their own ROMs - e.g. Bell, T-Mobile (G2), Vodafone etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] whistlerGreg:
Yep, the HTC twitter page pretty much confirms that.

@HTC "European Desire HD / Desire Z users – look out for an update rolling out from today that will make your mobile experience even better."

Thanks for the response though :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] philippecr:
I think the update isn't in Asia Region yet. Still waiting.

Another fix to add to the first post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879327

Adding linked (Phone + Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) contacts to groups (e.g. Favorites) now works - they appear in the list of contacts when trying to add them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chingf0rd:
I backed up all my SMS messages to Gmail using SMS Backup+ and then deleted all of the messages from the phone. Then I cleared out the data and cache for the Messages app. After doing this, I haven't had the Notification problem but it has only been a couple of days.

The thing that is getting me is the battery life now. Before the update I was getting a good 40 hours out of it - now I'm getting no more than 12. Not sure if it was the update that has caused this or what. My usage and apps have not changed.

EDIT: Nope. SMS problem deffo a bug. Clearing database and messages did not work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rexton270:
Same issue with sms as missparker... also noticed that connection keep switching from H to 3G despite full coverage. And one more thing: Gingerbread keyboard ( tried several versions) keep FC after 2-3 days...
[G2 and Desire Z General] DrBarrell:
Yeah sms notification problem still hanging around here as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cartman09:
This, I confirm, still happening to me as before.

Battery life: I am not that lucky as most of you it seems. Before the udpate when I switched off the mobile internet connection I had after 1d 6h 70% left, now I have 18% after 19h. I made no calls nor written sms (which I did in the first case - before the update). The only things showing up in battery use are the system stuff and one game that I played for 15min. (which I played in both cases, roghly the same amout of time).

So where are my mAhs at? :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Algobardo:
i do confirm the battery life issue. Dramatically reduced ! i noticed that the z sync very often and very slowly with "google's servers". It tooks 10 minutes when switching from wifi to 3g, or even while i'm moving from 3g to hsdpa...it is almost always syncing...bah....

i want my previous firmware back...and i want it OTA NOW!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
I can't say that my battery life is dramatically reduced, but I have noticed a difference in behaviour with "the wifis". I'm usually in a room with weak wifi signal and the Desire Z may drop the connection in favour of mobile internet if it can't hang onto the wifi signal (even though the wifi sleep policy is set to 'never'). After the OTA update, I found that the Desire Z is less aggressive at trying to regain a wifi connection after it's dropped it and so will happily remain on 3G until I force it to actively look for a wifi signal. I'm not sure whether this is due to the OS update, or the newer radio firmware.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crimsdings:
actually my battery life has increased
[G2 and Desire Z General] missparker76:
I noticed that today too (I've got a French Desire Z). I had used only Google Maps Navigation until today.

By the way is Google Nav the official name of that "Premium Navigation" software?

The OTA also brought more symbols when you use the Symb button on the physical keyboard but I still can't find the "°" character. Did I miss something? Is it hidden somewhere??
[G2 and Desire Z General] gulmat:
Does anyone know if the bell mobility version will ever have a similar update soon?
[G2 and Desire Z General] hommer101:
I contacted HTC regarding htcsense.com not working. I got my phone between christmas and new year and the first thing it wanted to do out of the box was upgrade to 1.72. I never got to try htcsense.com and at least wanted to try it.

Anyway, after some communication, and me insisting that a hard reset wouldn't work since it did say it was communicating on the phone, this was the final answer:

I'm guessing it'll take another update to fix that again...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jeroenthemoon:
Hey on the first page of this thread if read that he HTCsense.com doesn't work but i have the ota 1.72 but my HTCSense.com works great as well as the GPS locater and i can even ring the phone. So why is HTC saying that is doesn't work :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
I'd like to know that too. But since I have an unlocked Bell phone running on the Telus network, if it is Bell that does the update (if there ever is an update) would I ever be able to receive it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] keinengel:
Yes, you will, as long as you're running the stock ROM. The OTA is usually stored on HTC's (or is it Google's) servers - using another operator shouldn't cause issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stryfe1986:
Anybody been having battery life issues? I had a 3g Slide right before the G2, and the battery on that would last me a whole day, 20 to 26 hrs to be exact, depeing on the usage. Im using the G2 about the same amount if not less yet the battery is being drained fast and I notice the battery heats up quick too. any ideas?

*NOTE

It is still Stock
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Hi

A Quick update..

HTCSense is now working for me it seems. And quite quickly too :) Will update first page.

@stryfe1986 - I normally get at least a day, more like 2 days out of the battery. I'd check your sync settings, and apps that run in the background to see if thats the issue.

@Bell users (G2 as well) - The software is distributed from your telco rather than Google. For stock DZ users, HTC is the distributor. This is why the Stock DZ has an update, you're waiting for Bell to add all the value added crap to it and certify it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] whistlerGreg:
Have either of you had issues with the Bell Desire Z randomly going into 'limited service' mode even when in a full service area? I'm hanging for this update to see if it fixes the issue before I take my phone back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chingf0rd:
Sorry to bump this, but any news on bug fixes to this update? I'm still getting the really annoying SMS notification bug and the gallery thumbnail bug.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NoFatePPC:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Porcelina:

[G2 and Desire Z General] chingf0rd:
I'm gonna bump this again, because, all of us suffering from the crummy v1.72 - LOOK! A reply from HTC! (really!) Hopefully this new OTA update will be less buggy!

....

All the Desire Z unbranded from HTC UK starts to receive the update 1.83.4515.2. If you did not get yet, you will received very soon as our server is very busy delivering the update to all IMEI.

I trust that the above resolves your situation. If however you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for contacting HTC.

Still no news on rooting the 1.72 firmware?

I'm running this firmware and the batterylife has increased dramatically compared to the previous version and would like to have this firmware rooted. (My droidwall is now defunct because the phone cannot be rooted at the moment.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Sorry, this thread was for people who dont root. A search of the forum shows if / how it can be done.

Ps, anyone got their 1.84 ish update yet in the UK? A quick email last week denied any update :(

Sent from my Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
Apparently this is still not possible. The way to get root seems to be to downgrade to 1.34 and then flash a custom rom with a more recent firmware. I don't root my phone so am waiting patiently for the official update to be pushed out.

Nope my phone insists that it's up to date. I suspect that with a Gingerbread update in the not-too-distant future, I've kind of given up hope of seeing an interim Froyo-based update at this stage.
[Desire HD General] naira1:
Guys i need quick help with accessing the internet. I ve a prepaid Vodafone sim but cannot get internet connection. The HDH is connected to my Wireless router. and i can see the wireless signal. But still i cant get to the net. I need help to surf guzs plsssssss.

**i am visiting Ireland and the Sim is a Vodafone prepaid.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
You sure its not the wireless router?
[Desire HD General] naira1:
defitely not the router, because when i put in my Vodafone germany Sim it works effortlessly. But i prefer using the prepaid card abroad because it is cheaper.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
So correct me if I'm wrong,

DHD + Vodafone Pre-Paid SIM = No internet via wireless router.

DHD + Vodafone Germany SIM = Internet via wireless router.

Have you tried disabling mobile data and just using WiFi?
[Desire HD General] naira1:
Yes to all. I`ve done everythong i can and it`s getting frustrating
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I don't understand how changing a SIM card can affect WiFi.

What channel is your WiFi router on? Perhaps the Pre-Pay SIM alters the WiFI regulatory domain on your DHD, removing some channels.

Is the Pre-Pay SIM also from Germany?
[Desire HD General] naira1:
the pre paid Sim is from Ireland. i find it funny too. I can see the wireless signal with both cards, but still cannot access the internet with the prepaid
[Desire HD General] naira1:
i just tried a factory reset using the pre paid Sim, after inputing the wireless router info, i tried setting my HTC sense account and it keeps getting the error "unable to get the region from the server"

this is where the issue starts from, so i have to skip setting the account to complete setting up the HDH after the factory reset.
[Desire HD General] naira1:
the channel for both is 1
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Have you tried to enable data roaming? Seems your DHD is blocking all data Mobile & Wifi when using the Irish SIM. Possibly thinks your roaming in Germany.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good job, missing a lot of important roms over the months though, but still this is very helpful. imho vanilla elcair 4 is still superior to vanilla eclair 5 and stands on it's own as a milestone of everything "just works" kind of roms.

there are other sense roms along the way that are overlooked but then how thorough does your list really need to be...

of course you're missing roms that aren't done by current or past xda developers, such as feeyo's cronos roms, one of which I'm using now (his gingerbread is nice - he builds good roms too LoL).

still, this is a great database if you can manage to maintain it ok. shouldn't be too hard now that hero development is slowing somewhat - the updates will be pretty easy to manage :-)

cheers and thanks from me for this list. I wish I'd had it back in the day, although searching for roms was always kind of exciting :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
I added a few more roms now. All roms that aren't in now are too old i think. The discussion about feeyos roms should be stopped here. I know his roms, i like them, but if the xda moderators don't want them listed in here because of his ban i will accept this. Everyone who reads the comments will know of his roms and will find them ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fysi:
As far as I'm aware, the reason behind the whole feeyo thing was because feeyo was being a massive baby and not following the forum rules and then being even more of a little child when he got banned. There is a whole thread on it so gogo to that if you want reasons.

On topic, if this is kept updated then awesome! Cheers!

Where is Cronos 2.3? http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=620&start=0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, great responsiveness OP! terrific updates to your list.

I mentioned feeyo as a valid example of non-xda roms that also merit inclusion, especially compared to some of the other formerly xda-based examples in the list (such as the Hik@Ri_2.2.0_5_os rom... which doesn't run well for some people, is based upon an ancient froyo base, is long since obsolete, and isn't even a signed archive so is unflashable without clockwork recovery).

anyway, feeyo links allowed or not, and the mods know how I feel about the details, this list is great to see.

Really good work here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
Update: Some Benchmarks added.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Thanks for the list! Nice job :)

I was also thinking about something like this. Had some plans to create a webapplication where every ROM and link to (XDA) thread could be added along with average benchmarks and user rating.. Lots of work though, if there is any interest for this, I'll look into it again when I have time, maybe in 2, 3 weeks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
I had the same idea today. I think this would be much better than only one thread here. Maybe we can talk about that and plan some more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Why you delete Cronos Gingerbread?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Because Feeyo is banned from this forum.

@ iPasta

With the official CyanogenMod 6.1 you forgot to enable JIT in Cyanogen Settings, because of that the Linpack score is much lower.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
I know that, but as i said in my first post, i will nothing do to the roms ;) but maybe i should add this.

and @krygo: It wasn't me. The moderator did this because of Feeyos ban.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kirsebaer:
Add a graph of the benchmark results please! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
I maybe do this when all Benchmarks are finished.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fiscidtox:
Are all the benchmarks taken at the same frequency? Otherwise what is the point?

For example, hik@ri's benchmark of 5.012 Mflops.. I have a hard time believing that was achieved at the same frequency as all the others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
As written in the first post all benchmarks were made directly after flashing the roms. i didn't do anything on the roms, no oc, no nothing .. i don't know why hikari has such good results. maybe oc by the rom?! i don't know ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fiscidtox:
ahhh sorry I didn't see that. I think his is OC to 19/748 when you flash the rom, which would explain the high score. That is around what I get on fv 1.7.2 when I oc to 730. I was just curious. However, things like this should be given some consideration as they paint an inaccurate picture in some sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
Added the first benchmark graphics.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] originbook:
good job, really helpful, save a lot of time for me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] floomat:
sorry...whats the point of this when there are different frequencies?

i really think you are doing a nice job by not touching the rom,

but you can not compare 7xxMhz with 5xxMhz...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
because of this i wrote this information to each of the roms. i just wanted to show the results you get of each rom without any changes. i think everyone knows that a rom which is at 5xxMhz default can get better scores when overclocking to 7xxMhz.

i did it this way because some people maybe just want to flash a rom without overclocking or do any changes at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the only flaw is that you don't say what the speed is for most of the roms. I know it's default for that rom, but each rom developer can choose his own default speeds for both screen on and screen off (with more customization yet of course in the governor).

So if you could please find out what the stock top cpu clock speed is of each rom as you go from now on, that would be really helpful information. I'm sure those that look the same are about the same, but what is that speed? 576? 619? could be almost anything.

just a recommendation here though - overall your list is really impressive and I like how quickly you added radu's new 2.2 sense rom.

the only layout issue I have is that as of today I find your line spacing way too big - you have double and triple spaced it for legibility I suppose, but the net result is that it's much harder to read because I have to jump my eyes all over the screen to keep reading. Could you consider only single spacing within each rom and only double spacing between different roms so more information can clearly be seen in the web browser? I haven't had to maximize my browser in a looooooooooong time, but I had to for this.

thanks, and congrats on the hard work!

cheers,

Don
