Just got the android 2.3.5 update!:-)

Boy, I sure am jealous y'all!!!


I also have to say, Wow! Y'all weren't nervous downloading a whopping 228mb update!!?
Man, how long did that take?
I bet there were some users that weren't prepared for that (battery not being fully charged) that died during this update, probably kinda frying their phones somewhat. :(

That's a big update, I can only Verizon in the U.S. will give us this but, that's a large file there...

Congrats y'all!!! :) ;)

In India ... got my update on Dec. 13. No issues with install. So far I have just noticed some cosmetic UI changes (nothing exceptional) for what is supposedly HTC Sense 3.0, new (better) threaded SMS view. Haven't noticed any changes in power consumption profile.

Would have liked them to fix the Automatic Brightness setting to be more intelligent, right now I think that automatic brightness is too high for this SLCD screen for lasting a full day on battery. I have it set to about 25% manually, is enough for most lighting situations and my phone easily lasts one full day of use.

Try the brightness widget by curvefish & put it on your main homescreen. It's what I use. You can see the screen at night indoors with it on 0% & still see it. I think it allows setting the brightness lower than by doing it in the phone settings...

With Wi-Fi it was not so bad. Took me around 5 minutes when I did the upgrade at home. Installation will check your battery status and will not continue unless battery level is at 35% or more.

Hi ashvarma, you got this OTA on 13th this month? I am from India too (B'lore) and haven't received it yet. Has it got anything to do with the network provider that I am on?

I have been facing the dreaded com.android.phone Force Close issue ever since I upgraded my HTC IncS to Gingerbread and I am hoping this update will help me get rid of it. (anyone else facing the same here?)

Thanks!

If your phone was purchased unbranded (by carrier) in open market, then software upgrades do not depend on the carrier.

It depends on model number and physical location (country). My model is S710E.

What is yours?

The other thing is that automatic software upgrade notification has never worked for me. I had to check manually and then found this one.

Hi ashvarma, My HTC Incredible S is also S710E, and I am also from Bangalore. I purchased this in June 2011 unbranded (by carrier) in open market through an HTC authorized Dealer but however I am unable to get this update OTA. Please suggest how you got this updtae manually? I am also eager like the other INC S users to see the update on my beauty :)

Well, I have the same IncS; I did not know that we get models other than S710E here in India :)

And yeah, like Jerry1982, I bought mine in June this year, unbranded, from an authorized dealer here in Bangalore, and got the OTA for 2.3.3 in the first week of July. I have been checking for software updates manually ever since I saw your reply. :D

Will update here as soon as I get it. :)

Shashidharsm: it is incorrect for anyone to assume that the other person has bought the phone in India or is a particular model as a result. For example, I bought mine in US, and was shipped to US from Hong Kong.

Jerry1982: I simply did "Check Now" in Software Updates. There is no magic there :).

hi Ashvarma, this is precisely what I have been doing and I am quite a prolific user of Android phones, so I am aware that there is no "Magic" needed ;) .
What I wanted to know was that did anyone in India get the update yet? If so, was it OTA or the did they get the ROM. I found original HTC ROM for HTC Inc S in one of the forums for 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0, but the problem is that they were Asia & WWE ROM and these are not accepted for the one we brought in India and it gives error:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR: basically meaning that the Model ID and Language ID are incompatible with this model of Android phone.

So I am looking around for help to see if any one can help ;)
