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 When the Froyo is out its already outdated.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?

[Q] New Market?

new market update? does anyone have any idea if this can be implemented by end users, or whether it will need to be cooked into ROMs?
see article
http://phandroid.com/2010/12/11/android-market-updated-serious-changes/

I am presuming that it will be delivered to us as an updated version of the android market app. once it is released.

I was able to get it running on my HD2. Looks very nice!

its working with my desire hd rom

Can anyone put up a mirror for the .apk?
[edit] NVM... saw updated link.

works on coredroid's HD rom

Just thought I'd chime in & report that they're apparently pushing the new market out already. I went to download some apps earlier & found the new market on my phone. It seems a lot faster than the old market.

Yes, mine was pushed onto my phone just now. The Market looks much nicer and is more informative than ever before.

I've installed on my hd2 with mdjay's revolution build but i can't get every app anymore like the official paypal app. I'm on vodafone netherlands. If I install marketenabler with the same vodafone settings in other builds just don't matter. (20404)

Think you just have to enable the accounts & sync background data and voila it gets updated unknowingly through data so wifi should not be a problem as well.

HTC aria 2.2.2 update review

So I decided I'd give the new official update for the HTC aria a shot despite all the talk about not being able to root it yet. So far some pretty important things I've noticed is the fact that there is no sideloading. I saw someone on here say that it would be able to sideload - incorrect. The second big thing is the fact that it does not have the touchpad button wake. You have to use the power button which is a huge flaw for me. Someone also said that it would be capable of overclocking- as far as I know right now I don't think you can, but I can't be 100% sure yet because of the lack of sideloading and the 4.99 for setcpu. Some of the cool new features I do like is the mobile hotspot capabilities, live wallpapers, and the market update. So now I want to see what others have to say about it. Please come tell me what you've found!

Did it work?

I want to understand ..
The updates are made automatically?
If I purchased from ebay the device in 3 / 3 and it had not arrived yet, am I expected to see within 2.2 and unable to root?

Did you purchase a used phone? Was it already rooted? Did the seller install the latest update from HTC/AT&T?
The 2.2 update from at&t is not an Over-the-air (OTA) update. It's offered by at&t via the HTC web site. The update, therefore, takes work on the user's part. It's not automatic.
That said, if you purchase a phone from eBay that is factory fresh from at&t, it's possible it already has the 2.2 update - I put the odds at 50%.
For what it's worth, the only thing wrong with the stock build of this device's ROM is the at&t bloatware/crapware. Other than that, it's a solid device, and there are ways to customize the phone to your liking.

don't worry about side-loading.
Use the stock HTC sync software that came with your Aria - when prompted to update, don't do it!

If it is what it looks like, (US version/AT&T branded) then you should be able to root no problem with unrevoked

I'm not sure about enabling RTL support, but I think people have been talking about it on these forums.

At first my phone felt quick when it was processing, but initial response to screen presses felt slightly laggy. I was concerned. But after running it for a few weeks now, without a task killer, it feels like quite a quick more featured phone. Seems like there was a calibration and optimization duration there. Maybe it's in my head? Very happy with the upgrade, especially for apps to SD!
Oh, and add gingerbread keyboard from the market and the phone is twice as good!

You can do side loading by using android injector. You can find it at at harmonyhollow or softpedia. Just type in Android Injector at google. It also allows you to install multiple apps at the same time.

How do you get Apps to SD to work on this rom?
In the past I was using Darktremor's a2sd preinstalled on the Liberated Aria roms.
I am now on the Liberated version of the rom (thanks to Gene Poole - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272), but I don't know how to do apps2sd here. I have my sdcard partitioned with ext3 (512 Mb), but it's not getting used automatically.

Funny, I just got the new market pushed to my phone today as well. Running a Desire Z on ATT with CM 7.1... Weird thing is, I have never gotten any market updates in the past...

my market updated after the first launch of the app when i flashed the rooted 2.3 release today.

Market now looks suspiciously similar to a windoz mobile layout ..
hmmmm

I'm honestly not a fan of the new Market. I find that the application is slow/heavy to use... The other one I good just blaze through this one seems like I have to wait.

Agreed. Plus on other devices like the Nook Color (Encore) it has caused all kinds of problem getting access to certain applications. Device restrictions based on requirements has really sucked.

It's just buggy. I updated an app this morning and it still says update, and sometimes the update button doesn't show up at all.
The updated market needs an update.

Were not saying it's not. Were just identifying flaws in it's performance. It's not as smooth scrolling or even loading information/pictures fast as it did with the older version.

This one seems just as quick to me. The first boot takes a bit but its good after the first launch.

I didn't like the market the first time I got but now its grown on me. I thought it was so slow.
Now I cant live without it.
You'll all get use to it, don't worry.
Dave

I'm just using it cause I don't have a choice. My alternative at the moment is to push my app from the online store instead.
Hopefully there will be an other update shortly to address the latency issues and FC that are still quite frequent with it.

Got it pushed to me weeks ago. HATED it at first but have forced myself to like it since were not gonna have any choice but to use it. One thing that is a huge new improvement, is the "new" top free and paid. Cause as we all know the top lists never ever change and are always gonna have facebook google maps and gmail on top. With the "new" sections, you get to see popular apps that now don't have to have over 50000000 downloads to get some exposure

NFL Mobile + root = no go???

So as some of you may already know, the latest update for the NFL Mobile app (came out this morning I think) has officially killed its functionality with rooted (or "non stock Android") devices. A story on Android Police can be see here.
At any rate, I saw a recent post on a GSIII forum (here)where the user claimed to have a workaround which, among other things, involved renaming the superuser.apk, however if you're using CM nowadays then you'll know there really isn't a separate apk - instead it is now integrated into the rom. That being said, does anyone have any idea similar to this that might work for tricking the app into thinking it isn't running on a rooted unit? I have no clue myself, but seeing as how no one has started a dedicated thread for this in the forum of the current Google flagship phone, I thought I'd get things started.
Thanks in advance people!

Well I guess it looks like no one has any ideas...? Oh well, a rare swing-and-a-miss for solutions in the xda community

A quick fix would be to just find the apk for an older version and install that one. That's what I'm currently trying to do, there's no reason for then to block us from using it just because we're rooted.

Well yeah, I mean I already uninstalled and then restored a backed up version of the app using Titanium Backup. The problem is - and if you've been a user of the NFL apps over the last year or two then you'll know this - that the NFL app is not like most apps where each upgrade just adds some incremental upgrades or changes. With this app the upgrades are typically pushed out right before the start of the key timeframes of the NFL season: usually an update right before preseason; another before the start of the regular season; another at the start of the playoffs; another right before the Super Bowl; and once more right before the draft in April. Each update is specific to that time period of the season and usually contains the critical information/tweaks/additions/UI alterations specific for that segment of the year. Point being, after missing an update or two, the app becomes extremely outdated and eventually useless. And that's why, in the mid-to-long term, just using the older version of the apk unfortunately isn't a useful alternative. Damn you NFL! Now we just have to hope the xda community will come to the rescue as they usually are able to do

Ooooh gotcha. I didn't realize that that's how NFL ran their app. That's really annoying.

i'm not rooted, but that does seem like somebody went off the deep end with this app. rooting a device won't hurt their revenue, in fact, it will probably increase it from allowing ALL Android (and iOS) devices access the app. instead, they're cutting off access to a HUGE chunk of their fans, present and future. in essence, they're biting the hand that feeds them.
i voted the app down in the app store out of principal alone.

I am extremely displeased with this as well and am searching for a solution. Leave it to Verizon to try to control how you use YOUR phone.

hey is this an nfl app for verizon or a market version for all?

From what I gather there are two different versions - the one that comes on Verizon phones, and the one that anyone else can grab from the Play Store. I have the Play Store version (as a TMo customer).

Awesome, sounds good
Just in posting my thread I got a ton of hits of people freaking out about the new app...lol

FYI, they have fixed the app and it is now working perfectly fine on rooted devices strait from the play store

I might be the only one it's not working for. Wondering if anyone can help.
I cannot get 95% of the buttons to work in the Fantasy section of the app. Not only that, when I said 'to hell with the app' and went to their mobile site (which looks exactly like the app), I got the same thing... 95% of the buttons on the mobile site wouldn't do anything.
Now, on my N7, everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Edit: It was Ad Away. Can't use the app while it's running. Now I'll try to find the hosts file and see if I can edit the NFL entries out of it.
