New OTA update for Legend ( netherlands/europe )

I just received a new ota update on my Legend ( european / dutch version). The changelog was:
-Enhance data connection stability
-Fix loss of ringtone for incoming call
Also noticed : other quickoffice icon , pinch to zoom in googlemaps ( didn't have it before not even with the newest update from the market).
Update is : 24.37MB, and it now says 2.1 update 1 , software version now is : 2.05.405.2
Maybe there are more changes , but haven't found them out by now

Same for belgian htc legend i just updated my software looks like a maintenance release while i was hoping for froyo to come

When is froyo gonna come out already

It's live in Sweden as well. It's installing as we speak

Here in Norway too ...
We all know Froyo gonna take a while. But I do think HTC will loose a lot of customers if they don't speed up the updates. 12 weeks waiting in the android world is like 12 years in the real world. When the Froyo is out its already outdated. Just look at the Hero ...

Maps
I was hoping to get Google maps 4.4 with that update but unfortunately it's 4.1 only... One more time I got evidence that Santa doesn't exist

Just updated 2.03.405.3 to 2.05.405.2. Worked like a charm. Hope to see 2.2 update soon. Anyway Legend works pretty well with 2.x.x ROMs and is very fast.

Google Maps 4.4 can be found in the Market

Hi, I cannot find Google Maps 4.4 in the Market. I'm currently in Bulgaria. Can I ask you to post Google Maps 4.4 .apk for the Legend on some FTP site for me? It will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Cheers.

No new update in Asia (Singapore) yet. ;(

just to check, which european firmware do i have to flash in order to receive this OTA update?

I have now 3 times tried to download the update and installing it...
Every time the phone reboots.. reading the package... Then end up in the screen with the red triangle...
What can be the problem? I have tried to get the update both from 3G and WiFi..

Maybe your phone is rooted.

Update received in UK yesterday. RSS newsreader now updates properly and in a reasonable time - a few seconds instead of 2 minutes!

I defently notice the enhance data connection stability.
I live in Norway and its not flat at all like Denmark So the connection is very unstable because of all the up and downs. Works MUCH better now! Love it

Problems since updating...
After updating to 2.05.405.2, messages (sms) starts at the top of the thread so I need to scroll all the way down to see the most recent/new ones. A real hassle with those long threads!!
With every restart of the phone I am being prompted to change settings for the SIM-card, getting a list of carriers to choose from.
Any thoughts?

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Officially released for SGS

While reading trough my huge list of RSS feeds, i've found this news posted just few hours ago: linkhttp://www.sizzledcore.com/2010/09/11/flash-player-10-1-for-samsung-galaxy-s-released-download-now-from-android-market/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+SizzledCore+(Sizzled+Core)
The Author says that Today, Google has released Flash Player 10.1 For Samsung Galaxy S and it is available in the Android Market.
No Changelog provided.
I guess it's for JPC Users. Did you received the update? Is there any news or performance boost? It seems to be a version developed just for our device.
Let us know

I can confirm it. Updating it now, on JPC firmware. Will check for performance boost, it was pretty terrible for watching video before.
Edit: Still terrible in DolphinHD web browser. Not much use in the stock browser since JPC firmware removed the user agent setting.
Tested in some, err, adult site. Youtube seems like a pointless test since the Youtube app is better to use.

Third sign that froyo is coming (I confirm available on jpc)

Screenshots posted on that post. And it's only available for JPC for now.

Not sure we need signs that Froyo is coming, Samsung already said it was..
Also keep in mind though, it doesn't mean JPC is final, and it's still recommended people use kies (especially since some people appear to have been getting corrupt IMEI's after downgrading)

Well some people say that Samsung wasn't going to release froyo in time but maybe during october and those signs seems to show that they where/are wrong

videos run fine in flash except ones when it says "unoptimized for mobile" then performance is bad (1 frame every 2 sec or so)
i have 10.1 beta i grabbed somewhere in the forums, i suppose final is similar

Why not use my patched stock browser with useragent setting..

It was available in google market for JP3 aaages ago aswell. So nothing new here.
That being said, there are other signs pointing towards froyo soon hehe

Odd way how things go...
They officialy release flash while 2.2 isn't even out yet...
Samsung said it would be released in september but i wouldn't be suprised if it took them 2 more months before they release it.

2.2 is out for many other devices
Galaxy S is not the only Android phone you know? LOL

i do have a premium 4shared account, i think i can allow someone to upload a file - which i'm happy to do - if someone could advise me how i actually go about doing that, filesharing aint something i know alot about

Info from the Acer Facebook page says we will get the update 17th May. As its so close, may pay to wait and get the real deal just in case the releases floating around are not the final for us

actually Acer ANZ posted last night that it was now available to NZ and Aussie

awesome.... wonder if they've fixed the issues from the first release....
yeh they roll out the ota according to the build version number

Anyone else get it yet?

Nope not yet for me.
*twiddles thumbs aimlessly*

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done

I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling

Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better

just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.

All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.

Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.
many thanks

Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Yup, it's downloading for me now as well.
My Build No: Acer_A500_7.014.15_COM_GEN1

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release

I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.

Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...

Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Any time you flash a DELL update.pkg it's going to do a factory reset.
TheManii may put together a zip package for it though

rom: 2.5 gb
are we going to get an official ics as we had before from olleh an official gb ??

2.5gb is 500mb nand + 2gb innerSD.
I dont expect them to ever make official ICS.
Even 2.3.5+ isnt something I'd expect.

Has anyone installed this yet? Does it improve wifi performance and is it ok in the UK? I hate being the first at these things!!

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!

I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help

Finally managed
I have now manged to upgrade. I am on Vodafone I had some problems and failed to update OTA. After several attempts I managed through KIES, which is now working. It seems to be quite smooth, as far as I can tell it does not have multi-view (I hoped it would).
I am quite happy so far.

Decided to take the plunge with this stock ROM. Been running for 25hrs now, Flashed with battery at 100% and as i type this battery is at 70%. Usage has been 60mins Bluetooth audio, installing all my 43 apps from play store, dozen texts, 10mins of calls, 10mins of internet and email. I expect in 28hrs time it will be given its first charge since flashing.
No lag, no heat, brill battery time, and fast n smooth.
Also , something to note for other users, I'm not on Vodafone, in fact I'm on three(uk), this ROM chose the correct csc for me, i had expected to input my carrier settings myself, this was not the case.

Not really something new and no surprise. Sky tries to protect Sky Go and so it is completely understandable that they will stop it working on rooted devices.
