Software Update 1.10.652.6

[rwinvt]

Got this update a couple days ago- holding off on install until I can find out a bit more...

So far, I can find only two other posts out there in netland- one guy says his GPS now thinks he is 2000 miles away, another guy updated his wife'e phone and he is "mad as hell." ( no replies other than one on VM facebook- the usual "Gee, we're sorry. We'll look into it)

Are we the only three people that have gotten this update, or are we just the only three people that own the One V and haven't rooted it, so we actually consider installing updates?

Is this standard practice, for a manufacturer to put out an update with no anouncement or info available as to what it does?

No I've got the One V and have that update that keeps pinging me to install.. glad I haven't yet.... Is rooting the phone difficult? If not is it worth doing?

TTT for updates. My wife posted on HTC's facebook page for us asking what's in the update, since now there's a report out there of someone's phone getting borked entirely.

We'll see what they say.

Yeah I'm still showing the software version from back in October, but my phone is seriously lagging bad... unresponsive in alot of stuff, and apps that normally run smooth are crashing constantly wanting me to send reports....

For what its worth, I took the update a couple days back. I've noticed the data connection acting different. There is something in the update called "connection ? Something?" Not 100% on the name but it's supposed to connect you to a Wi-Fi signal when it's around without you having to actually go through the whole switchover process

This update is doing different things to the same phone. I have this phone and it overheats when Connection Optimizer is enable and having WiFi radio turn off due having no open WiFi in my area. The My Account App got update now telling me that I need a PRL Update and that 4gis off. I have some screenshots they are on my Facebook account facebook . com / craig.deed.1 ( I'm new user) I have called HTC and Virgin Mobile about this and they blaming each other. HTC Keep telling me the HTC One V is 4g capable phone and I keep telling the phone is marketed as a 3g only phone for Virgin Mobile.

 

[rwinvt]

There is no Sprint 4G in my area even if the One V was 4g capable.

Meanwhile, there is another update floating around -- that one was (is?) 2.08.401.2. I never got any notification for that one. Gave support for the HTC Media Link. Don't have a digital TV either, so not much use for me from that one either.

I guess I'll just hold off until I hear some other good reasons to update.

Silly question: My device is unlocked and rooted. Does/should this cause any complications with a software update?

 

[jkbbna]

I have NOT rooted my phone and I did accept the update, though I declined the Connection Optimizer. Haven't noticed anything different. Phone seems to be operating normally.

 

[rwinvt]

Well, I decided to hit the button and go for it. Just as I got to the screenabout the wi-fi update, ... process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

The update screen was frozen at that point, settings shows the new software version number, but I have no idea whether it really took or not, or whether the wi-fi setting is permanently set on, or off.

Went to my Account, it shows there is a PRL update available, but pressing it doesn't do anything.

Installed this update. Noticed a slight improvement in speed when switching between 3g and wifi. But this apparently small update has a huge disclosure attached to it. I am surprised no one mentions it. It says that if you activate the optimization, you are giving them permission to collect usage data! So that's what its all about probably. Some bs update that has some research usage for the carrier. loll. Not being paranoid. Let's hope someone figures out the whole thing.

 

[saintcala]

It's was a connection optimizer concerning WiFi. Changed "my account" app. Don't live in a 4G area, so I can't access 4G.

 

[OregonRob]

Has anyone else tried this update? I went ahead and installed it shortly after my last post about it, and the lag and unresponsiveness got worse, as did the freezing and crashing apps... It got to a point that Vmo had me factory reset the phone, and that didnt help so they replaced it for me.... New phone has been working fine.. battery is at 49% after 2 full days (light surfing and texting) with no lag or anything so far that I've noticed, (and I'm also keeping WiFi on to make surfing faster when I'm around it... Things overall are 150% better than the old phone.. Think I'll skip the system update...<.<

 

[OregonRob]

Any still having issues with this update? I installed it shortly after my last post, and problems got worse resulting in Vmo replacing my phone...<.< Now its naggin me to update again when my phone is running amazing! (2 days since last charge...)

Can someone tell me how to get the update? Where do I go on the phone to see the update? Are they supposed to send me a text? An email? Why are some people left out?

Is there a way for me to check my phone to see what version of software I'm on?

 

[Blazin65]

OK I went to setting and About Phone and see the software version. It's:

1.10652.6 710RD

How does that compare to others?

 

[riggerman0421]

That is the latest updated version.

 

[Ken C]

If y'all haven't rooted yet you don't know what you're missing. I was having serious buyers remorse till I rooted the phone. Now it's running like it should.

Don't do it. Make big headache if you enjoy custom ROMs and kernels
