I installed the leaked 2.2 update (without the updated radio) and my GPS isn't working. It seems that it just can't get a fix on my location.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem with a fix? Or do u think it is because I did not install the radio update?
-- related to the radio, when it first leaked people were hesitant to install it because the official radio could possibly be different. It seems that a lot more people are installing it since the leaked 2.2, is the previous concerns thrown out of the window? Or is there still a chance that the official radio update will be better/different?
In many countless posts about upgrading to the Leaked Froyo 2.2 build, They say upgrade the radio or many features like the camera etc will be messed up and force close.
Sure upgrading your radio will fix these problems, but I don't think you will get pushed the offical OTA either way...but we shall see.
yea thats what i assumed was the problem, but i wanted to check if anyone had any ideas.
but with regards to the OTA, once its released wont it be rooted and available to be flashed (with new radio) just like we're installing the leak? my worry is, will the radio be different?

Hey all,
I am still not sure if I want to root my phone, I am enjoying, for once, the stock ROM and having things work... but... on the other hand, I am missing being able to fix the issues I am having with it...
Anyway, I know the ERE36B ROM's are out there, but has anyone heard of an official release date for those that are waiting to get it OTA?
Thanks,
I have been searching for the newest version of android along with a working bluetooth connection to my panasonic phone for months now. 1.5 works very well with my home phone, but the "htc" 2.1 leaked version ( the version that supposedly was exactly the same as the official release but with root access) didnt connect at all.
Then the unofficial froyo build came out. That ROM fixed the bluetooth connection that was broke in 2.1, but the problem with this build is, if i leave my bluetooth connection on and walk in the door, it doesnt reconnect manually to my phone. Because of this, i have to keep manually selecting the handsfree device i want it to connect too if it ever disconnects.
So now I am thinking of trying the "official" 2.1 build released by htc. I'm not sure if my results will be any better than the other roms such as fresh or damanged that are 'based' off of 2.1. I'd like to get off of this 1.5 version of android and to something newer. My concern with trying the official 2.1 rom is that I will loose my root access, correct? I can then re-root my phone afterwards?

There r two roms that r using the newest .6 version of the HTC release of 2.1. They r fresh and one other. But its out there. My rom will be using it as well but will be a day or two. All the others out in the forum are all the .5 version of the HTC version of 2.1. There r only one or two roms that r out there now that r using the leaked version anymore
so would you expect the same results within the bluetooth stack for these roms instead of me installing the official 2.1 rom from htc? or is this something developers tend to change to "enhance" the roms?

Comments around the Sprint Community forum seem to mostly say that Bluetooth is terrible in the official Sprint/HTC 2.1 release, so I don't think running the official RUU will fix your Bluetooth troubles. Here are just a couple threads from there:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/32489
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/32193
Also, yes you will lose root access if you run the official RUU from the Sprint or HTC web sites. You could re-root using this method, but I think the better option would be to just flash the nfinitefx45 Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed ROM, because it is the official straight stock release that maintains root access. DamageControl's latest ROM and Fresh's latest ROM are also based from the official stock release, but they have many more changes and modifications to them so they aren't "true stock" anymore.

Nice work. I would have put up the links myself but in on my phone and its not as easy on here lol
thanks for all the help. i just tried the Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 rom and the device paired but did not connect. I assume I should get the same results with any rom based on this correct? So frustrating that HTC screwed this up. I hate being stuck at 1.5.

u never know try out the fresh rom its new also and has a bunch of enhancements
Hey, well I've finaly desided that my phone desperately needs some updates as I never bothered before but the problem is I don't know if updating to the latest rom contains all the updates? The most recent downloaderble update for my phone is the orange rom update. Does this contain all previous hot fixs and updates?
Also do you know if these updates will fix my phone hanging up on calls alot and fix the terrible gps connection?
Thankyou.
Aparently I have the latest rom but the update online came out 6/7 months after I bought my phone?
Alright, so I'm quite cautious before I proceed with the update but I've been hearing mixed results with the 2.3.5 update. I pretty much have the update ready to go in the ext SD card.
I was wondering since my phone is fairly new and stock, have the problems experienced by users who updated to 2.3.5 (such as null IMEI and touch screen issues) only affected those who have rooted and are running different roms? or could it affect me if I do an update to 2.3.5?
As for null IMEI, what significant impact would it have on my phone?
I'm really keen to go on Gingerbread as there doesn't seem to be any OTA updates to 2.3.5 here in NZ...
Current Android Version: U8800 V100R001C00B136
Cheers
I have been upgrading from stock 2.2 and did not have any problems at all. All went smooth and everything is working as it should. I am using 2.3 beta 1 update, because it has unlocked bootloader, otherwise it is preety much the same as final 2.3 release.
oh, do the problems people experience persist in beta 1? or over the official one?
Like I said, I did not have any problems with it and I had stock phone just like you (no costum rom, no costum partition). I know people have reported many problems with these updates but it works for me. If someone has different experience please post it and write in what state your phone was before update ( costum rom, partition, etc...)!
when I got my brand-new phone from the store, it was 2.2 but rooted (!) and no g-apps.
The update to 2.3 was no problem and everything works fine.
no root any more, but I don´t need it anyways.

did you update to the beta builds or the 'original' build? I guess I won't have to back up if its only a rare minority experiencing these faults.

I have a U8800Pro so I can't offer you an answer as to whether you should upgrade, but all I can say is:
If your phone is rooted, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325036 to back up your IMEI. It's worth it anyway, even if you don't plan to upgrade
From what I've read, touchscreen issues seem to be occuring for those with Atmel screens (and there's a report of an Atmel screen going bad on its own anyway), not those with Synaptics ones. This is what I've gleaned by reading U8800 threads; again, I have a U8800Pro (which all come with Synaptics screens). You can use the tool Elixir from the Market or dial #*#2846579#*#* and navigate through the menus to find out what touchscreen you have
im planning on installing a custom rom at the very least since the stock rom is giving me some software glitches. i wanted to know if theres any problem with the new update that would prevent me from rooting, or is just best to update to the newest version while its still on stock

if your talking about the AT&T XT2 it can be rooted on any version
problem right now is Huawei's bootloader unlock page is gone and you'll have to try DC unlocker to pay for a bootloader unlock
I was talking about the original XT, I updated since I see most of the road support the latest version
