HTC Gingerbread update.

Dazzasky · May 18, 2011

I have just read on the WiFi forum that HTC told someone that called them that he believes the gingerbread update has been withdraw because of the amount of people having WiFi issues and will not be resumed until they find a fix.

Is it worth me waiting to update then? I've already had all the SMS problems I dont want Wifi ones either.

Orange DHD here! Still waiting for my update.

Is there any resource website out there where we can check the branding (if branded/unbranded) through our IMEI's or Device Serial's?

/waiting -.-

El Presidente · May 18, 2011

What's your Software number? If it has a 405 somwhere in it, you're unbranded.

Both HTC & Orange thought my IMEI was branded, but I still got the update on Monday. My software number was 1.72.405.6.

Got my update on Monday 16th May afternoon. Got a desire hd on orange but got an unbranded phone from p4u. Tbh haven't noticed a lot of difference on phone. I like the settings tab on notification bar but don't like the 1 page scroll on app menu. The battery life, speaker level and general speed etc all appear to be what they were. New software no is 2.36.405.8

Well Im risking it. If I lose WiFi i'll be very sad. Im on Orange also btw. But got my phone from CPW

Also should I be backing up before i go for this update? And if so how do i save my messages/contacts/etc etc to SD card?

Hi Helen100,

I ready your message after I had started doing the update and thought to myself "oh dear, what have I dont " but can confirm I didnt lose anything. I started the update at 4.35 and its all done at 5.04 (over wifi). So far all good.

Hope this helps.

ATB, Jon.

I tried to update but it shown "there are no update for your phone"

standrews · May 18, 2011

Could anyone tell me when gingerbread on 3 is updating?

jdo330 · May 18, 2011

So ive done my update and all appears to be working well except my wifi range has reduced massively. Anyone else noticed this?

bbqbeef · May 18, 2011

Hey all, since i updated on the 16th, im still at half on my battery, wifi on and i admit i have not used the phone that much but the battery life is way better on this update.

just thought i would say .

Dazzasky · May 18, 2011

I spoke to T-mobile today and they said they have no idea when the update for branded phones will be released. They claim not to have been told anything.

Miwena · May 18, 2011

Has anyone else noticed that there's no more "htc search anywhere" when you press the search key? It only displays google search... Is that just my phone, or what? :-/

Menu -> Settings -> Search -> Searchable Items should sort that.

Still being offered it on my unrooted OrangeUK DHD.. (as of 30 secs ago)
All this time waiting, only to find it has 'issues'.... typical!!

Impatiently rooted my other DHD and happily loaded/running seraphic-0.3 ROM on it
Guess I may as well go ahead and root this one too & forget about OTA *sigh*

The said, "Hi, we have been told that this is in test presently but we cannot confirm if or when this is being released at this point. Thanks.", to me this afternoon.

Thanks, I know, but it doesn't look the same, like it used to... It doesn't have that htc sense layout anymore.. I was just wondering why they changed it, it looked way better before.. I thought that it was only on my phone, cause no one else noticed it..

Hello all, first post tonight....

I have a Desire HD with 3. I believe that it is unbranded as there is no bloatware or startup screen like three normally throttle you with....

Anywho, i checked today and subsequently downloaded the 2.3.3 update OTA from HTC (2.36.405.8 CL47853 release keys). Three have confirmed that their version isn't being released until the end of May (which is another reason i think mine is unbranded).

However, my wifi is now fooooooked. The phone phone connects to the router but i can not do anything with it, there appears to be no data being sent or received..... HELP??!!

I've contacted HTC via email as it 9:20pm in blighty so i'll let you know what happens....

My wife had a similar issue in that she was unable to use the internet ( just a blank screen ) but Twitter still worked.

I fixed it by going to settings, applications, manage applications and clicking on Internet and force closing & clear data. Not sure if yours is the same problem but might be worth a try. You will lose all your bookmarks though.

stardamage · May 18, 2011

Hi guys, got notification of update this morning and resisted untill i got home and looked on here.
Im desperate to update but really worried about this wifi issue. Is it pretty much a fact that you will have wifi problems ie weaker signal? If so why on earth would anyone want gingerbread. Also very concerned about emulators not working as someone mentioned anyone else tried psxdroid, n64oid etc?
Also do you have to back up you contacts, apps and games?

Mitchturbo · May 18, 2011

My Wi-fi works fine?! :0

I have read on the T-Mobile forum today that they are releasing the update on 1st June. How true it is and where the person who stated it got their info from I don't know.

diodorus · May 18, 2011

I rooted and debranded my DHD (from t-mobile) and installed a stock 2.2 RUU. Should I get the HTC OTA update? Or will I get the tmobile OTA update? Or neither??

Bedroom Eyes · May 18, 2011

I'm new to the whole smartphone thing, just bought my DHD a week ago and I'm running the stock system, which I think is Froyo (The 2.2 one..), that came with the phone, what's the benefit of updating to the new version? I don't want to do it myself, and Telus will do it for me for free, I just don't really know if it's worth it? Are there advantages and disadvantages of the update?

HTC Gingerbread update.
