I got some gps autostart problem :D it starts and shows up automatically

[Desire HD General] JoeBlogs:
I had the same issue, Battery was draing because of HTC Sync, I seem to have it running fine now and I had to delete/refresh contact's

Menu>settings>apps>all>contact storage>clear data

did the trick, it wipes your contact's so check Gmail contacts first.

My Seettings are now to push with

Sync HTC Sense -Ticked

Synch HTC Hub - Unticked

Update when opened- Unticked (This may be a big culprit, what does it do ???)

Update schedule - Push

After that I was able to turn HTC Sync to Push
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
This is the only thing I have ticked. I rarely visit HTC sense, so I would rather it just update when I open the app. That's what that does. For example if you have it to auto sync, it will keep checking at the intervals you want (30 min, 1 hour, etc), but it will keep checking even if there is nothing new, and drain the battery in the process. If you untick everything but "Update when opened" what the phone will do is leave HTC sense alone until you open, say, "HTC Hub", and then when you do open it, then and only then will it check for updates, and do its syncing. For me this saves a ton of battery and CPU syncing. I can now go with heavy use on one charge around 30 hours. By heavy I mean 30 or so texts, an hour of browsing, 2 hours of music, some youtube, an hour of Robo Defense, and some ABs.
[Desire HD General] ViNZ!:
I did not do the update yet. Due to various reasons. ;) Now the update is no longer available. (at least not on my phone) Maybe there is something new coming?

Something more evil :D

[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
Good news!

If they removed it, they probably recognized it was buggy (by this time their support is still claiming there is no problem, as usual...)

I hope they'll provide a fix soon. I'm using hancent sms in the meanwhile, but not really happy with it : very heavy for my usage...
[Desire HD General] coolmaxx:
GOOD! I hope they bring a new update fast -- before my sd card goes the way of eternal death....
[Desire HD General] Godo_PPL:
Bought a DHD yesterday! :D

Looks like the update was pulled yes, does not find any updates available.

Current firmware is 1.32

Are there any reasons to hunt down the 1.72 update manually, or will it do more harm than good?

BTW: HTC DHD FTW!
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Don't do it. Unless you want to risk the death of your SD card with no possibility of recovering data, or you want an SMS app that doesn't let you know you've got a new message.
[Desire HD General] AdrianM:
So the 1.72 update was pulled back by HTC?

I have my phone for 2-3 days, and when i first used it, the update was available, but i did not updated.

And now when I want to do it, I can't find the update. :)
[Desire HD General] makbil:
As I do not have these 2 issues, it would be interesting to see if there are other factors triggered by the update that cause this. My observation is that HTCSense application needs to be tuned, that seems to be what is occasionally causing 100% CPU use for a short while but only after 5-6 hours.
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
That update was one massive disaster judging by what I've seen on here. Good to see HTC did the right thing about it.
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
Maybe they pulled it back and will give more powerful and more unrootable to us :D

By using this settings, you can't use the localisation and "make it ring" function ...
[Desire HD General] JoeBlogs:
Can we confirm what each of the below setting do ?

I would have thought if you have it set to push that it would not need "Update when opened" to be ticked. But with my below setting my missed call don't seem to be on htcsense.com

Sync HTC Sense -Ticked

Synch HTC Hub - Unticked

Update when opened- Unticked (Refrresh content when I view app or widget) (This may be a big culprit, what does it do ???)

Update schedule - Push

Are you guys sure on each setting, we may need to test :)
[Desire HD General] Nebell:
I can confirm that update is gone on my phone as well (I never updated, but I did get a message that update was available).
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Lucky you. I've got the sms bug, but not the SD card problem (yet). I removed the HTC Sense account weeks ago when I heard it could be implicated in disappearing sms threads. HTC have really got themselves into a mess...
[Desire HD General] qrypsis:
Still no update for me

Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, I havent got any updates for my DHD yet. Still running on 2.2. Details as follows:

Model Number: HTC Desire HD A9191

Android Version: 2.2

Build Number: 1.32.707.5 CL277010 release-keys

Software Number: 1.32.707.5

Any ideas why I am not receiving this update? Tried manually checking updates the past few dates to no avail. And I'm not sure if mine is branded or not; got it from my operator DiGi (Malaysia).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
To recap the following issues come with the new OTA Update

i) SMS bug

ii) CPU 100% bug

iii) Weather widget not updating to current location

iv)SD card not being recognized

v) Wifi/3G network unresponsive when following a sleep policy

vi) Random rebooting and shutting down
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
This is because the 2.2.1 update is available for European phones only which have a x.x.405.x software number.
[Desire HD General] letom:
I've checked about 5 different times prior to today and it found an update, now that I've checked its not there so I guess HTC did pull it. To be honest I'm not too fused about it, glad I didn't update anyways.
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
which I don't have any of those :)

it is effect of third part application.

I did upgrade since day one, everything works great without single problem
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
-Hundreds of people are having it (search google)

-Problems remain after hard reset (ie with NO 3RD PART APP INSTALLED)

-htc removed the OTA (no longer available)

So how can you say that? just because fortunately you passed through? :confused:
[Desire HD General] qrypsis:
I see. Thought it was a worldwide update. Thanks anyway :)
[Desire HD General] wbbigdave:
How about reduced battery performance. Mine was absolutely amazing until most recent update, now I am down to 45-50% in 5 hours!
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Agreed. Mine was never amazing, but certainly worse now...
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
funny zero problems on my side, only no more lag and better battery with the update

those of you who got screwed and care for no root why don't you try to start clean and flash the official 1.72 RUU

keep in mind, htc sense account issues
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Flashed with the official 1.72 ruu and I have the same problems.
[Desire HD General] thelucius:
With this update I have the SMS bug and the Weather not updating its current location. Everything else from the list is missing on my phone, I mean no other issues. The battery is better with the 2.2.1 now. I use the official OTA update.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Did that too and SMS problems are still here.
[Desire HD General] wbbigdave:
The problem I see: a few people are reporting better battery life.

The question I have: Is this the first update you have applied from new? The previous update (1.32??) was a tonne better than this one.
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
Translation: "It has not happened to me. Ergo, the problem does not exist."
[Desire HD General] makbil:
My phone came with 1.32 on it so this is the first update I applied. I also changed the radio and now my battery life is much better than it was before.

Also the two issues are related, if you have a CPU running frequently at 100% you are bound to have a much shorter battery life.
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
That's my case (identical, maybe a little better battery life) , but I do have the sms issue on the other hand.

I think the battery life problem is closely linked with cpu issue =>if a process is draining CPU your batery won't last very much...
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
yeah, i'm tired of that too! :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] ergath:
I'm alright, Jack

For the record, mine has been running 1.72 for a week or two now with no problems. It's unbranded and I'm in the UK. In general I've found the phone to be slightly more stable and the battery life to be improved.

Don't be jealous though - I'm sure 2.3 will break everything for me ;)
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
I have no problems with 1.72 all runs great

[Desire HD General] sallel:
I also upgraded to 1.72... :mad: and everything works fine for me. I am also satisfied with battery leaking now because I almost all day use WIFI and my battery now reach 20% after almost 20 hours (before upgrade it leaks completely after 8-9 hours). Now I have the very, very serious problem. I LOST MY ROOT :eek:. Hope that new hack will be here very soon because I used to jailbreak my PS3 with my ANDROID DHD. PLEALE HELP!!!! how to ressolve my problem and also help to others have the same problem with upgrading.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Are the problems only surfacing on rooted devices or non-rooted also?
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
It wasn't only me my friend, you must done something. Any way while we enjoying with our DHDs you have to suffer, its not fair I know, and I don't want to be smart one here but nothing you can do till next upgrade, sorry bro
[Desire HD General] feckewe:
Had no problems on mine till yesterday when the battery ran down in about 5 hours followed by a couple of reboots. The main thing I noticed was sense constantly trying to update so I disabled updates and all seems back to normal, I also have the sms issue.

At the moment it's been up for 15hrs and the battery at 50% with a few calls,push email and WiFi on.

What I can't figure is why it took over a week for problems to appear.

BTW never rooted and running completely stock fw before update.
[Desire HD General] CodenameReese:
Battery Life

Didnt had any problems till last week my DHD has made an OTA update, now showing "Android version: 2.2.1" and "Software number: 1.75.161.2". Now it has got the SMS bug and also a vast battery drain. Yesterday in the evening I charged 2x till green light and todays morning I woke up and the battery was empty, without any use^^ so ~15hrs (without WLAN) and Ive done nothing...

Hope for the next update to come very fast ;)
[Desire HD General] vodka_redbull:
I have an unbranded stock DHD and have read the comments regarding the update. I updated as soon as it was available and initially seemed good.

Since then I have noticed some of the bugs listed here (sms notifications, swype not working) however I have had two problems I haven't seen listed here. One minor and one major.

The minor one is I use the navigation as sat nav and following the update I have had the gps signal lost message twice in two times of using navigation since the update. I have to exit navigation then open it again and it find a signal.

The major one is it won't connect to my Ford mondeo standard bluetooth any more. I hance deleted the pairing and paired it again but it won't stay connected. Before the update it was faultless.

Has anyone noticed these issues?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] makbil:
@vodka_redbull, perhaps you should try to update your radio. Unfortunately you can only do so if you have S-OFF, Eng S-OFF & Clockwork Recovery mod installed.
[Desire HD General] vodka_redbull:
Thanks makbil but as it was stock before the update I am snookered arent I?
[Desire HD General] makbil:
In that case, unfortunately yes. You will have to wait until some new mechanism is devised for the new ROM.

You could try a factory reset though. Some users have reported that their problems were cured.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
No you are not.. Not anymore!

Please see my downgrade thread in DHD Android Dev forum :)
[Desire HD General] XmUrF:
I didn't think much about problems after the new update but now after I've read this thread... A couple of days ago I got the sd card bug. All of a sudden it just stopped working and the phone said no sd card mounted. Luckily somehow it's working again (thanks god). I don't have the sms bug, but I do have the wifi bug. Also I think htc sense would make a problem if I let it update automatically.

Ah, and someone mentioned lag... the phone seems a little bit laggy now, well not always but from time to time. Some games too run worse than before. Didn't think it could be the update till now but who knows.

I didn't bother to do factory reset but probably I will just to see what will happen.
[Desire HD General] baum01:
Same for me, my phone was fine after the update, I did use it like before, rebooted it a couple of times, turned it on and off... and from this noon onwards HTC Sense started syncing constantly (turning on/off and rebooting didn't help so far) which drained the battery fast.

Additionally, there have been two reboots when I was taking a nap - the first time I thought the battery drained completely and I feared I would oversleep - then it went off some time later and just when I was getting up and going to the kitchen, I heard the additional reboot... weird.

guide how to downgrade back to 1.32

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

after do a proper radio S-OFF root, install recovery and you can flash a pre-rooted 1.72 rom or any rom you want

still no problems for me though, its very fast and battery is good, maybe since me and for example makbil applied it via the clockwork recovery method, i don't know

anyway glad there is a way to go back now for everyone else with trouble
[Desire HD General] makbil:
I do have one little annoyance though: after about 5-6 hours, when I wake up my device the CPU goes to 100% for a short while, not a critical issue but it almost locks the device for 5-10 seconds. A restart solves the problem and the culprit seems to be either HTC Sense (UI) or SD storage (?) process.

I don't have the SMS problem and my battery definitely lasts longer than before.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
i have the same problem very weird it only appeared suddenly, i have htc sense account disabled too, i takes more then few seconds to respond after unlocking it happens randomly

i'm thinking its maybe some widget? or setcpu profiles?

my battery is very good its lasting days with low use (been busy with my new hd2) :)
[Desire HD General] a33a:
From reading this thread and my personal experience, I think that this is a problem with used devices.

I updated my Desire HD before I used it, perhaps a hard reset before updating may fix the problems.

I have had no issues on a brand new DHD.

Anyway I think I may downgrade anyway , so I can root.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
I don't have any setcpu profile - at least not one I made intentionally. I have widgets all over my screens, I also suspect it could be one of them but it's just too difficult to pinpoint.

Watchtower tells me com.htc.launcher uses a lot of CPU at times.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
do you have other launchers installed? i have launcherpro and gingerbread launcher
[Desire HD General] makbil:
No. I use WidgetLocker but I had this problem before I installed it.
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
update not pulled or new update?

Hello all,

I got my DHD today, and it just updated to version 1.75. Does this mean this is a new update? Or wasn't it pulled at all?
[Desire HD General] makbil:
No updates for me. You must have a special present from Vodafone :)
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
Strange. It says: Softwarenumber = 1.75.161.2
[Desire HD General] DubelBoom:
also new radio?
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
How can i see? Sorry, got this device just today, coming from Windows Mobile...
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Look at the baseband version.
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
It's a dutch phone, it says: Smalbandversion : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2...

Is that wat you're looking for?
[Desire HD General] makbil:
Yes. If you compare that with the info in my signature, you will see that you got the latest radio (Jan 4)
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
It's working fine for now... No sms bug yet..
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
the update was indeed pulled and a new one on the way

[Desire HD General] skullkid:
Funny you should say this, I got an SMS notification earlier, said I had an SMS, opened up the sender and the message had disappeared.
[Desire HD General] letom:
Yeah I've just checked and there seems to be a new update, I don't think ill be installing it though. One because it means I wont be able to root and also I want to see if this update breaks anyone else's device lol.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
which version do you mean? newer than 1.72?
[Desire HD General] droidhd:
Mine is 1.32.405.6 unbranded and still no any trace of update...
[Desire HD General] Exasperated:
I haven't got any updates for mine - not that I'd update immediately anyway, but nothing yet. Still on 1.72
[Desire HD General] scotcruz:
On t-mobile and had 1.75 yesterday..
[Desire HD General] society mike:
Still no updates here in Japan on Softbank

we are on 1.35.762.2

Also saw there is a nice gingerbread keyboard apk that upgrades the kb by a lot but crashes on DHD

I'm T mobile UK Branded and 1.75 is available for me, haven't actually downloaded it though.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Just spoken to HTC customer services. The person I spoke to confirmed an update is on the way but won't be within the next week and could be a month away. I always take what they say with a shovel of salt..
[Desire HD General] lillysdaddy177:
Lol let's hope don't ruin our new phones aye ..
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
You mean again? If i leave Auto-sync on, it continually syncs with something, probably HTCSense.com, even though I've set the syncs up for a couple hours on everything. Bring on the update. Still on 1.72 with Vodafone.
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
T-Mobile UK. No update.
[Desire HD General] liljom:
remove facebook account and see if it still happens
[Desire HD General] springy:
If that is the case, do you think we will be waiting till MWC or something? They might bring out gingerbread instead... you never know.
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
I'm on a UK sim free and still on 1.32 on the Desire HD with no updates showing.
[Desire HD General] makbil:
The update is not related to the SIM unless you specifically have a locked device. It seems to depend on where the phone originates from. I got my phone from the US but it seems to be originating from France. I got the update at least a week before a friend on the same network who got his device from the UK.
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
Yeah I just meant my DHD is sim free in terms of unlocked, unbranded and open to all networks.

I'm on 1.32 with no updates showing.
[Desire HD General] Anphase:
I was on 1.32 as well and I figured the update isn't coming out soon so I switched to 1.72. Best way to get the update IMO. I'm assuming if you stay on 1.32 it will be while b4 you get the official Android 2.3 update when it comes out too.
[Desire HD General] Wil-j:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...finds-htc-motorola-have-best-track-record.ars

According to this study HTC is the best company to release updates. So even though things don't always work perfectly, it's still better than nothing (wich is the service that other companies provide).
[Desire HD General] makbil:
No surprise about Sony Ericsson there with zero updates. They tend not to provide any updates unless someone puts a gun to their heads.
[Desire HD General] Baggyb:
Hi mate,

I have an unbranded UK version too, now back on 1.32.

I had the 1.72 update back in the december on the 24th. It slowed the thing down to a crawl and was limping on for sometime.

I went through the downgrading and rooting process and have now come full circle back to the stock 1.32.

However the battery drain is enormous much worse than I had before on 1.32. I'm thinking that it could be my radio causing the drain (as Cell Standby is accounting for 20% +.Hows your battery?

Could you tell me your radio info please?
[Desire HD General] solowkey:
Wierd - i had Orange UK phone stuck on 1.32 no updates offered and my battery was terrible:confused:

I flashed the official HTC 1.72 ROM and now it is awesome , battery last for ages the phone is even quicker / smoother and none of these issues have occured

You couldn't forced me to downgrade it , i have recomended the upgrade path to all users and not seen issues !
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
They won't be able to upgrade as HTC removed the OTA, because they recognised there ARE some issues.

You're just lucky not to be affected. This doesn't mean it's evereybody's case...
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
Hi mate,

I thought I might be the only one on 1.32 but obviously as stated this update was pulled. My DHD is new only a couple weeks old now so I must of got it after the update was pulled so by the looks 1.32 is what they are shipping with and what the software version is for UK sim free.

Heres a screen shot of my DHD system info for you, thats what I have on this sim free DHD from the Carphone Warehouse

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As for my battery life I am finding it's no different than from my Xperia X10 in terms of eating battery. The DHD screen is always using the most battery by looking at battery info I am finding and can always alter the brightness, at the moment I have got it set on automatic. I have closed everything I dont use and obviously dont have everything updating every 2 minutes.

I'm using Apndroid from the Android Market with the widget on my homescreen the same as what I used on the X10 for switching data off when not in use.

Something I notice with Android 2.2 on the DHD compared to the Xperia X10 Android 2.1 is apps are always running on 2.2 and restarting after you have killed them with Advanced Task Killer. I know loads of people say you shouldn't use app killers now but all these apps that are showing as running surely are using battery???

Can anyone clarify if they are actually running please?

Thats really the only thing bugging me.
[Desire HD General] Rajnus:
Install whatchdog
[Desire HD General] mak38612:
Got my DHD on 3 UK last week,

Software Version 1.37.771.3
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
Thanks for that, I've just installed Watchdog and will give it a go.

Just to add, I have Watchdog set to Aggressive to determine whats happening and already I'm getting alerts of htc Sense and Android media process service going above the threshold so that app does work well. I'll keep an eye on it to see if I get any notifications of any apps that are misbehaving. None so far.
[Desire HD General] Baggyb:
Cheers for the confirmation mate, looks like we're running the same ROM.

I would agree and say that battery life is similar to that of the x10, which I found to be quite bad. It seemed to better before I upgraded from and then downgraded back 1.32

I used to use advance taskkiller (ATK) until I read an article about how Froyo managed apps. There was a mention that ATK may be useful for improving speed especially on phones with less RAM but not battery performance. it also went on to say that any third party task killer could have an adverse effect on the stability of the Android system, by interrupting core processes. However it wasnt conclusive. I will try to dig it out.

I just use the HTC data widget to disable 3g when not in use. I have just found that there is an issue with 3g in my area which may account for the high amount of juice the cell standby has been taking up.
[Desire HD General] NhocCuteGirls:
Just installed it also myself, would be nice to see somekind of changelog
