HTC Incredible S update now rolling out | Ubergizmo

Did you install this? If so, what Android version do you have now?

lol no...I'm scared. I was hoping someone else did already.

valorian · December 13th, 2011, 01:36 PM

If it's coming from Verizon there should be no harm in downloading it. I'm rooted so I will not get this notification.

ckelly33 · December 13th, 2011, 01:38 PM

I will do it....downloading now.

I've been through updates before, only to have missing features, reduced battery life, etc. type of issues...not always *completely* harmless.

I'm downloading now...stay tuned.

ckelly33 · December 13th, 2011, 01:43 PM

Took about 6mins to download over WiFi. Installing now.

Doubt it since no mention of sense 3.0 in verizon PDF. Just a small bug fix update I guess right areound 30mb mine is downloading.

Kinda scared after the last Incredible update which got me here to the incredible 2.

ckelly33 · December 13th, 2011, 01:53 PM

Another 6 mins to install and reboot. Boot animations are the same and still takes FOREVER to reboot. Still 2.3.4 and still Sense 2.1

valorian · December 13th, 2011, 01:55 PM

ok, so it's just a security and radio update. How big was the update file?

ckelly33 · December 13th, 2011, 01:57 PM

I have no idea how big it was- or how to tell.

drews66 · December 13th, 2011, 01:58 PM

about 30mb

Improvements to Clock and Alarm features,

Maybe that will fix folks problems with the alarm. Would have been a nice suprise if it was sense 3.0

I think the update file would have to be larger than 30mb for a Sense update.

Mine just installed and seems to be ok, maintenance update more then anything.

drews66 · December 13th, 2011, 02:09 PM

nevermind fixed it

SLeepdepD · December 13th, 2011, 02:12 PM

And thus ends the excitement for the day...carry on.

ChicoFox · December 13th, 2011, 02:13 PM

Hey Everyone,

I'm a new DINC2 owner of less than a week now and loving it. I was disappointed when my alarms went AWOL like so many others but I'm happy to report that the update has restored them! But for how long?

Well that a small amount of good news. This has been a long time coming.

STeVe7320 · December 13th, 2011, 02:56 PM

Noticed a slight boost in signal. Full 3G signal in an area I normally had it prior to the Dinc2

swenpro · December 13th, 2011, 04:20 PM

Just installed the update, everything is up and running!

"More bars in more places" ha ha. No idea yet if the actual signal db are better tho

blackepoxy · December 13th, 2011, 04:26 PM

Just loaded it off the local library's wifi network.

Hey RB this could be the one you have been waiting for!!!

I wish it was the Ubergizmo one y'all were talking about up there, that would have sure made my day, but yeah 30mb is too small.

At least they are still paying attention to us and our "old" phone model!!!

Hmmm... Verizon video in the all apps drawer, that's something new. Looks like they are prepping to launch their own Netflix like video streaming service... Anyway, more bloatware... ;(

Yes the alarm clock is back! Can we trust it?

hilmar2k · December 13th, 2011, 07:19 PM

How are you guys getting OTA updates via wifi? Mine always download via 3G. Not a huge deal here because it's fairly smally, but larger updates take forever.

drews66 · December 13th, 2011, 07:42 PM

Notice when under manage applications, there is a greyed out enable/disable encryption option whatever that is.

I gave it no thought at the time, but I'm pretty sure you are right (as far as how it happened in the past). But, I was definitely on WiFi.

Well, if it took 6 minutes to download the 30 MB update, then it definitely came via 3G, not WiFi.

hilmar2k · December 13th, 2011, 08:21 PM

Definitely see a signal improvement. Pre-update I was getting -91 dBm in my basement, and post-update I am at -84 dBm, even -78 dBm occasionally.

blackepoxy · December 13th, 2011, 09:03 PM

He he, I just noticed that the antenna bars show 5 bars now instead of just the 4 it used to in the status bar now.
I am getting -62dBm standing in my house now, can't say what it was before something like 72, I think...

I have also uninstalled my tokkio free alarm clock app and am relying on touching the time on the stock sense clock/desk clock thing to set the alarm clock.
We will see if it is a true fix...

bberryhill0 · December 14th, 2011, 03:40 AM

Pretty sure you have to do it from hboot. I just installed the new radio that way.

hilmar2k · December 14th, 2011, 08:53 AM

The update somewhat hosed my phone. Whatsapp was unable to send/receive, and only uninstalling it and re-installing it solved the issue. And now my Exchange email is not functioning properly.

Wonder if this is related to the security patches included in the update. Not good.....

EDIT: Looks my Exchange issues at with our email provider, not with the update.

I have also noticed this. It is greyed out in every instance. What is this for?

I have also noticed that the flickering computing totals are also gone. It is much easier to uninstall apps and move them to sd card under manage applications.

I have to admit that is was pretty crafty of Big Red/htc to increase the number of bars from 4 to 5 in the RSSI (received signal strength indicator) Now you will get "more bars in more places" wherever you go.
But, I know that the real truth lies in the -dBm number under about phone.

cubswin · December 14th, 2011, 12:59 PM

Another Inc 1 2.3.4 update refugee here, new to the Inc 2. I did the update today, without issue, but I have a question. I cannot turn off the various noises Sense wants to make when I wake up/unlock the phone. Yes, I went to Settings>Sounds>unchecked the box that is supposed to control this. Other than that, is there anything else I can do? This is literally my 3rd phone in a week from VzW! The last refurbed Inc2 I got, the whole right edge of the keyboard would not respond to touch, in portrait mode!

Try menu> settings > Sounds > uncheck the box that shows play unlock sounds.
Or try to open the stock htc weather app and hit menu > settings uncheck the box that shows weather sound effects.

*Note*
I also just saw that the sense 3.0 update being pushed out to Incredible S users is 228mb file size OTA Download...

Kubbe117 · December 14th, 2011, 03:57 PM

Anyone having issue with ADW EX after the update. Mine wont stay as the default home.

TheAtheistReverend · December 14th, 2011, 05:52 PM

Has anyone flashed just the radio? Did it work out for you?

I flashed the radio this morning before work...... phone seemed to work fine all day...... it offered minor but negligible difference in signal for me

You can turn the sound off by [and I know that this sounds nutty] by touching the weather part of the flip clock. When the weather launches go to Menu>Settings>. Then un-check sound effects. Took me forever to make that racket stop.

adam355 · December 15th, 2011, 08:45 AM

I have 26 of these phones in my work environment. The check new is grayed out for a few of the phones so they cannot get the update. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks

Basically what it comes down to is an MD5 is a data integrity check. The number is generated as a reference to ensure the download. You compare the MD5 you generate on your phone of the download or on your pc to the MD5 posted by the uploader or dev.

A VERY good idea when flashing something that could potentially brick your phone like a radio...

rchez16 · December 15th, 2011, 03:07 PM

Do we know if this OTA is going out on a tiered basis? I have not received notification, and have checked the "Software Update" multiple times. I know I can flash it, but I am at work and without a USB cable.

It wasn't automatically coming to my phone, so I clicked on "Check New" under software update and it showed the update and asked if I wanted to install it.

I'm not sure how Verizon pushes out their updates. My wife has not gotten the update and "Check New" does not show any updates.

bioforce · December 15th, 2011, 04:27 PM

Had to go to check new here. Reception has a minimal improvement, but the best part for me so far has been how much easier it is to uninstall things now. For some reason it also added like 5 new bookmarks to places like Bing I deleted.
