Android 4.0.4 & Sense 4.1 update rolling out in Europe now.

[Nasalhair]

hopefully they are getting rid of all the sense stuff and getting ready to just give us stock android...

Hopefully not - some of us happen to like Sense (raises hand).

Yea, I got the same reply yesterday, they have no idea when its coming out. What on earth they are doing is another question like, probably high 5'n each other that theyve got 4g. No doubt another thing which theyl epically fail at, as they are useless. I imagine we will get the update end of November when every other network is rolling out Jelly Bean!

The annoying thing is that if they didn't faff around with the updates in the first place to brand the handset they wouldn't have to faff around with the later ones either! Also maddening that they always claim not to know things, whereas other networks at least provide an ETA, even if it is spectacularly wrong (e.g. the Vodafone update for November which came out a week ago.)

I'm just hoping that Orange were confused yesterday and were somehow thinking we were talking about the Jellybean update rather than 4.0.4, and that it may be HTC who are stalling, spreading the load on their update server. We can dream.

[alexward]

T-Mobile branded OX on t-mobile here. Just updated. Feels much smoother.
Haven't had a real chance to see what's changed yet though.

 

[JamBon87]

Erm, what exactly has changed cos apart from a slight change to stock browser I'm not really picking anything up!

 

[El Presidente]

It's slicker, better power management (iirc), and they've locked the display to 60MHz so it shouldn't stutter when using live wallpapers.

There should also be the option to disable the 3 Dot menu thing in settings.

There should also be the option to disable the 3 Dot menu thing in settings.

this part was also done in the android 4.0.4 and sense 4.0 update that rolled out for AT&T a couple of months back

 

[boilerhouse]

Great, just updated and yes it seems a lot more fluid and faster. Even have still a decent maps programme too, unlike some other sheep!!

"There should also be the option to disable the 3 Dot menu thing in settings. "

El Presidente, where could this be, I have looked through and as of yet not spotted this, am I being dim here ?!

 

[El Presidente]

I think it's Display -> Gestures? I can't recall exactly, I've not been running a stock ROM for a while, sorry

 

[boilerhouse]

El Presidente, thank you! I know see what this is, I apologise I was thinking of something else on this function.
Regards

 

[El Presidente]

No problem :smokingsomb:

 

[JamBon87]

In gestures it is the recent apps button

Edit- to late lol

 

[mshawnl]

Does anyone know if they are experiencing problems with the lock that sometimes when you press it only the bottom icons light up and nothing else also the rescue feature where do I find that and I think the quick settings should be up the top like on Samsung's , any help appreciated

 

[tudorphone]

Just updated. On T-mobile UK. Now cannot connect to any network and have no option to choose a network as Network Operators is greyed out. Help

Has anyone tried this yet? I can't decide if it works or not lol. Is it supposed to use your home wifi to boost your phone signal?

I think this explains how it works. My interpretation is that it uses your wifi to retain functionality when you have 0 signal...
