Can anyone who's updated via ota confirm there HTC sense version.

I'm under the impression 2.3 from HTC will also bring us HTC sense 2.1?

Yeah, 2.3.3 brings Sense 2.1.

Typical!
I finally upgraded to 2.3.3 a couple of days ago after id gotten back from holiday. Everything seemed fine, even the wifi is working fine.

Tried to text my friend this morning, but the message wouldnt send. As I was in work, I figured it might be the network, but thought it strange as everyone else was still getting my texts.
Tried again this evening, and still wont send!! Just tells me 'please wait..' then goes back to composing the message grr!!

Had a look in the known issues thread, and see this problem is listed there where you cant send to some contacts. Great..so the person I text the most, I now cant text unless I install an app as a workaround, which I dont particularly want to do as I like the built in default messaging grrr..

Every time I 'upgrade' software for a phone or computer, something happens!

try switch off ur phone then take ur battery and restart ur phone, if that also doesnt fix then try factory reset (this will erase all ur esisting apps and settings and you will have to reinstall them again)

how do you check the HTC Sense version?

Settings -> System -> About Phone -> Software Information. It should give you the sense version there.

I don't think it did on Froyo though, so if it doesn't, you'll most likely be on 2.0.

Shinylight · Jun 6, 2011

2.3.3 Update today. T-Mobile branded in the UK

sk8erjake · Jun 6, 2011

Does anyone have any information when the gingerbread update will be available to orange branded desiresire hd in the uk? its ridiculous, unbranded, vodafone and t-mobile all have it
Cheers

TheBrit · Jun 6, 2011

The ONLY problem I have found so far is that I can't turn off the weather sound effects. The option is missing from T-Mobile branded DHDs.

I have not encountered any other problems so far. For me it's a big improvement over Froyo. It's more responsive too.

same here, waiting for the update for a UK Orange branded DHD, they were really slow for the 2.1 update for the Hero as well so not expecting it to arrive anytime soon.

HTC are apparently releasing it to 3 sometime very soon. If their twitter page is to be believed, they're placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of HTC.

Got my 2.3.3 from HTC in May 2011, on my HD. One problem is that text selection is messed up in Dolphin HD 5.0.1 browser, when I touch spot on webpage and hold to get box offering select text, it doesn't show selected text at that position, but instead at top of page. Any ideas?

yogi - berra · Jun 8, 2011

I got my DHD unbranded from Carphone Warehouse, and updated to 2.3 last week May, seems ok, wifi seems easier, gingerbread keyboard, all ok.

To be honest it's nothing to get excited about. Trust me.

Get yourself the latest dolphin hd beta version (I'm on v5.1.0) select text works!

Now, I wonder how I root this version after HTC says they'll allow rooting of their phones.

Xyro · Jun 19, 2011

Thread unstuck, since the it seems the majority of people seem to have the update. There are individual threads for the major network's we're still waiting on, so we'll see where people are posting before sticking anything again.
