Thank you for your quick reply. and thank you for you being a great source of information.

But how come my other DHD wich I also installed the stock rom "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe". got the OTA ?
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Because there was an OTA a few months ago, but it was pulled by HTC due to many strange bugs.
[Desire HD General] Terra1:
Yea, I got the update a couple of weeks ago. My mate has a Vodafone branded and still no update.
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
Nah no OTA update here either atm (in UK using an Orange DHD debranded on 132.405.6)

My phone is rooted and the radio has been flashed, when the update finally comes out will it cause problems with the root or radio flash?
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
Yeah the last update did mess with Root and Radio permissions..

But if you have Radio-S-Off you should be able to Re-Root your phone...atleast this holds good for the last update from HTC...lets c what they do with 2.3.3 Update
[Desire HD General] dreamnitin:
I reside in India. I updated my DHD with 2.2.1 , but I didn't experience any difference. Although it was a huge file 43+ MB (for a mobile 43mb is too much). I don't what happened to my phone with that update . Only my phone would know. :-) M waiting for official 2.3
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Its absolutely unacceptable that the update is still not available to unbranded DHDs. What kind of crap is this? HTC can't blame the network operators this time. What's their excuse? :mad:
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
I completely agree with , I'm unbranded user and I'm still stock with this crappy 1.72.. its unacceptable ...
[Desire HD General] shithead:
I think HTC is waiting to get new Sense 3.0 elements in the gingerbread update.

As long they're saying it's for Q2 2011, they can let us wait till June, which is long imo.

Although I hoped they would release 1.84 and than focusing on GB update. Or does 1.84 have some problems, like 1.72 previously did?

UPDATE:

Still remembering about the news that SFR said DHD will get Gingerbread update on first half of April?

Seems they changed it to

first half of May

Me too unbranded from uk i am still on 1.32.
[Desire HD General] Henshinagogo:
Considering that most modders can update and correct flaws in software in a fraction of the time it takes htc to is a bit of a joke. I hope that it doesnt take too much longer to correct... its annoying living with the pile of s*** that is 1.72, how can no one check these updates?

I reckon I could start learning to programme and get an update out quicker than the folks at htc!

Rant over.

I do hope the 2.3 update is worth it, and some of sense 3.0 makes it over to make the wait worth it!
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
I'm sorry to break your hopes but sense 3 is not coming on the DHD. Confirmed.

I posted the article in another thread but I don't remember where.

Sense 3 will be for dual core processors only.
[Desire HD General] mesut19:
That's correct but some elements (Like the lockscreen feature) are coming to the Desire family. You can know this because the HTC Chacha/Salsa also have the lockscreen feature. And those aren't dualcore :)

[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
Got an update a week back here in India. The improvements so far is less camera lag and Gps connects fast and whole OS is bit more smooth
[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
UK unbranded as well and nothing, kinda annoying! :(
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
HTC pulled the update, because there were too much issues with it (it destroys SD cards, does not show SMS notifications, etc..).
[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
Well in that case I'd like to know how to roll back to an earlier version, I've already had my Text randomly delete themselves when the messaging application crashed.

Do you know how to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Sure, use my downgrade guide, it is a sticky in the android dev subforum :)
[Desire HD General] duyfken:
Yeah I got the exact same over here in the OZ now, probably from the same batch of DHD's since mine is also stock and unlocked, from HK. :) I'm just happy we're gettin' the updates :p
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
I am facing no problem after update. Just reset your handset after update or format it. That will solve all the issues. I can see speed improvement and low light camera improvements
[Desire HD General] cheesinar:
I've installed the OTA update this morning. Phone seems to be running faster,very smooth.

Not sure if this is a new feature, not noticed it before.. but my camera now has a self portrait function which works very well.

Also could just be my imagination, but when I received an email earlier, the notification sound seemed louder than before.

Need Help. I downloaded the OTA Update India 1.84.720.3 Build. However, when it tries to apply I get an Error.

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.
[Desire HD General] avn122010:
I updated my DHD to 1.84.720.3 yesterday evening. Changes I've noticed:

Changes I'm sure of:

- The phone is definitely snappier.

- Tones are louder.

- The cursor handles that appear when you want to copy-paste text are of a different colour.

- The browser, when opened before the update used to be on the Google search home page. At the time the browser opens the address bar would appear for a sec and then roll upwards, disappearing. Now, after the update, the address bar stays visible till I load a different webpage. It disappears upwards as before, once the page loads fully.

Changes I'm not so sure of:

- I feel the display is sharper, with better contrast and more vibrant colours.

- I'm getting a

single

cursor handle in the text box of some applications which marks the cursor position when I click in between text while I'm typing. This happens in the Twitter official app and the IMDB app randomly. Haven't yet noticed it in any other app.

- The browser seems to be rendering pages faster. Not really sure of this, no idea if it is a placebo effect.

I don't use the camera that much, so I haven't noticed any changes there.

I've disabled USB Debugging to see if they've fixed that issue. No idea if the battery backup has improved -- will check over the next 2 days.

A friend who uses the DHD updated his to 1.84.720.3 yesterday and said that Swype stopped working.
[Desire HD General] sohailhaleem:
I have the same problem. First the android logo with yellow exclamation mark in a triangle appears. The screen is stuck there. I flashed the update by flashing sdcard/update but after it is complete, my wifi got bricked. I had to restore it to my nandroid backup.
[Desire HD General] sohailhaleem:
Bricked wifi

This update bricked my wifi. Had to do a system restore.
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
I simply had no problems except system improvements . Always restore your system after software upgrade because of changes in the system files.

Just done mine on the Desire HD

Gone from 1.75.110.2 to 1.84.110.3

T Mobile UK.

However a collougue who is on the Three network is stil on 1.3X.
[Desire HD General] nqk:
Just get my DHD updated to 1.84 in Vietnam. It feels faster, especially when I need to get the app list for uninstallation. Before, with version 1.35, the list could be in "processing" state quite long.

It looks brighter now. But maybe it is because I turned down brightness in the previous version in trade of batter juice.

Wonder if Visionary has been updated to root this one.
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Does anyone know when this update will be available in Europe?
[Desire HD General] maple85:
1.72. is the official version for europe i think...

next version will be 2.3.3 in my opinion.

1.84... is provider specific
[Desire HD General] ineser:
Wow never known the OTA update can cause wifi to malfunction... I thought normally it suppose to fix rather than brick it...
[Desire HD General] evoGage:
Still not update for me. I have a sim free/unbranded, using a three sim and still on 1.3x, I'm guessing its network dependant.
[Desire HD General] fsengun:
Hello.

I just installed the update.

1.84.707.2

The changes I noticed are;

- Proximity problem solved.

- New message number icons are in green circles,

- Feels faster,

- Self portrait feature in camera,

Thats all folks..for now.:)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I'm on 1.72 stock and your points 2 and 4 are already there. I cant really compare "Feels faster" however... and I've never had the proximity problem.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
Hey guys I am from India and I also have this system update showing up, but I have never updated it before and I am paranoid as to what if I lose my data so what and how should I take backup of phone data before proceeding with this update. Thanks for the help.

Your data will be intact.

Just got it here in Singapore. Only notice the green notifications

Hmm....

UK not modded DHD, unlocked from start, Tmobile Sim, still on 1.31.405.6.

I've never signed up nor use any of the HTC sense stuff, will this make a difference to any update notifications?
[Desire HD General] joshofbass:
I'm in China and I just got updated to 1.84.707.2

On a phone that seems to be an asia-pacific version..

The camera seems to have a lower frame rate on the preview screen and the self portrait setting has lost the setting for detecting 2 faces.. I never used that but it seems a strange thing to change..
[Desire HD General] strauts:
About sms notifications, they are changing with skin! And am I able to update to 2.2.1? In Baltic? Could I update simply by putting it in SD an then with boot menu?
[Desire HD General] v8dave:
This happened to me too. Just uninstall Swype (not the swype installer) and then run the installer again to re-install it and go through the init process etc and it will be back working.

Swype also stops working if you root your phone. I was using temp root at first but got fed up with Swype stopping working so perm rooted the phone instead. Swype is fine after this until I did the update!! :)

Dave...
[Desire HD General] strauts:
And only bug I noticed is in sound, its so low, and sometimes doesn't sound at all.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
I updated my phone, sound seems louder now, will have to check more in coming days.

Had to reinstall Swype and Locations. Only thing is locations widget doesnt seem to work for me any longer, It always shows "map data Unavailable". I have even tried downloading the maps again but still no difference.

No other difference as such, how much smoother or better or worse battery life becomes will get to know in coming days.

how to install ota 1.84.707.2 Update in rooted htc desire hd?

ive tried but here is an exclamation point, when i press HOME it sends me to clockwork recovery

pls i need help...
[Desire HD General] devvfata1ity:
Just updated last night...the firmware no is now 1.84.720.3....it was 47 Mb update...theres no changelog mentioned at HTC website but here are the confirmed changes that i have observed...

1. Display is brighter, more contrast & saturated colors (not sure how HTC managed to do this)...looks like a AMOLED screen now :D

2. The UI is definitely snappier (i would say between 20-30%)...no more juddery animations.

3. Sound volume increased & now ringtones are audible.

4. HTCsense.com now working

:)
[Desire HD General] avn122010:
Thanks, Dave! He'd reinstalled swype yesterday and he said it is working fine now :)

For sure! I sleep for 8 hours with sync turned off, and before the update, the battery used to lose 15%to 16% overnight. Yesterday (after the update), the battery lost only 11% charge. Small, but definite improvement!

Ahhh, So I guess I wasn't imagining it after all!
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
can anyone conform that after updating with this ota update.. we can still easily be rooted again and can easily radio s off or not???
[Desire HD General] Kiwi_Dude:
Ok, it's been a couple of days since I updated to 1.84.707.2 and I have noticed a couple of differences...

Yes the display does seem a little more crisp, slightly higher definition. While the speaker volume seems to be a tad louder, it would seem that the headphone volume has dropped a little. I listen to music quite a bit, and I certainly feel there's a difference.

For me the biggest difference however, is my battery. It has now lasted over 36 hours since the last full charge and still has 59% left, where before it would barely last 24 hours. My usage hasn't changed, so either I'm seeing a big improvement, or the update has reset the battery stats or something!

Can't say I've really noticed any change in the camera, but I don't use it that often, and usually use a proper SLR camera. I do however plan to take a HD video, as I do already have one to compare that to, so I'll see if there's any difference there.

Other than that, just waiting for Gingerbread!

Hi.

Noticed you're in the UK on Vodafone. Have Vodafone released this update too?
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
just quick one - to let you know, just spoke with htc support, branded dhd should receive update from vodafone, unbranded maybe not, only 2.3 which will be after april, but not said when exactly...
[Desire HD General] dadon123:
Hope this ota comes quickly. I'm still on 1.39.161.1!

Also, are you sure the DHD will get 2.3? I heard HTC are gonna skip 2.3 and jump us onto 2.4?
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Sorry, htc doesn't said exactly 2.3 or 2.4 , they said new version - if 2.3 or 2.4 we will see.. :)
[Desire HD General] lee2006:

I have an DHD from India and I got the update. It downloads but after boot it does not updates anything.

Any ideas?

[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
You have to downgrade. This OTA update will disable rooting with Visionary.

Is the headphones volume low or it is not notice? Dolby mobile settings (like change of bass amount) has been included?

multi touched from my AR4 Desire HD using xda app
[Desire HD General] Kiwi_Dude:
I usually listen with Dolby switched on, and only turn it off when I need the extra treble, such as for classical music for example. I can't say I notice any difference in the levels of bass or treble in any of the presets, SRS or Dolby, just a slight decrease in overall volume.

I don't use the stock headphones, they don't fit my ears very well, and use some standard Panasonic closed type for general listening. When I'm out and about though I use my Jabra BT3030, but music quality over bluetooth is not all that great, so I'm not even going to compare a "before and after" there!
[Desire HD General] atifhasan86:
I'm on custom LeeDroid ROM, can anybody please tell me, if I DON'T UPDATE it now, will I be able to update in future to 2.3 (Gingerbread) when HTC rolls it out, as i have read on some threads here only, that you need to be on the last update to upgrade ( for ex 1.32 to get on 1.84) to the latest version.

I don't want to lose Root & S-Off, etc. and then wait endlessly for HTC to push an update.
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
thanks for the reply ..

hmm.. i would better stay far from this update... who wants to go through a long procedure if i dint like the feel of it...
[Desire HD General] shamps:
Hi. I am from India and i am getting this update notification. I am on stock rom with permanent root. I tried installing the update but after the reboot the display first showed that it was installing but then i got the red triangle. I had to reboot it by removing the battery. Has any one experienced this? Is this because i am rooted. I havent tried it again. Any insights on this will be highly appreciated...

Cheers...

Shamps
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
dont worry dude... the update is available for everyone who is on 1.32 india firmware .. and i know its very tempting but once you get ur device updated you will not be able to get back to any custom roms unless you downgrade.. and to downgrade you need to go through a long process .. trust me it will not be as good as the latest leedroid 2.3.2 beta 4 rom ..

and it is only those people who are able to update who are on the stock devices with their radio s on .. i am on a rooted device with radio s off.. and with a custom recovery (ie clockwork) and i downloaded the update .. but when it starts the update it hangs on a exclamation mark and dosent go any further from there... so after that i tried so many other ways .. and then came to the conclusion that you will be able to upgrade only if you are on a urooted stock device....
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
are you only rooted or you also have a clockwork recovery????

and you also have radio s off ??

you can unroot ur device using the same app with which you rooted ur device and that is visionary r4.. and then try the update again...

but if you are on clockwork recovery and radio s off.. you will not be able to update .. you need to stockify your device
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
ok after you rooted your device .. from market download rom manager .. from the app rom manager backup your rom first (accept super user request)

then when your device reboots.. open rom manager again and flash clockwork recovery.. when the process is complete .. you now have the clockwork recovery.. now you are first advised to radio s off your device with the easy radio s off tool..before you try any other rom
[Desire HD General] ADstv:
Also got the update via OTA today. Anyone been able to test to see if they fixed the issue with a process that before was only fixed by enabling USB Debug?

Also noticed that the video camera the quality has improved abit. Looks alot smoother.
