Tried to give him a new update from Settings> About phone> updates the system software? so you do not have the old software with buggar in itself? Or have you tried Task Killer > ( Downloaded in Market ) so you turn of your applications?

Try switching the date on your phone a few days ahead so you will probably update it usually helps. Can you go in and look what software you have? For the latest firmware is 1.25.405.1

The updated is only for unbranded phones.

My unbranded phone is 1.14.405.2
I don't see any updates available. Do I need to upgrade? If so, how?
(I just set the date to 14 October, I checked for updates. Nothing happened)

My phone is unbranden to and have same 1.14.405.2 number.
I try to move date and nothing...
I have contact HTC and they like usual send me this...
Dear Branislav,
Dear Mr.Branislav Thank you for contacting HTC. Kindly check the capacity of the SD card if is full, remove any 3rd party application and soft reset the device: Soft reset: Remove the battery, then re-insert it If the problem persists please back up your data and Hard reset the device: Hard reset: While the phone is off, press& hold on the Volume Down button, press the power -while the volume down is still pressed- Release Volume down, then follow the on-screen steps. Note: A screen with 3 Androids will come up, Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line For further details, please go to....

Thanks for that.
Excuse me while I rant ... wtf???????????????
Really? This the best they can do? I must have done this 30 times with my Windows Mobile phone. I should have kept my resolve and not brought another HTC phone. The triumph of hope over experience.
I'm not going to do this because I am sure it won't help. I must have tried software update shortly after I bought the phone, when it was in this pristine state. I could spend a day backing up and restoring the phone, and losing things like call history and spelling to no avail.
Does anyone have a better idea, or should I see if I can return it as a POS phone and buy an iPhone?

ITT: Noobs, Noobs everywhere.
It may depend on the region.
If your phone is rather new the update might not be visible when you press the check for update button because the changes are included in the rom.
Have fun with that POS iphone.

You post that the update is only for unbranded phones. Now it turns out that you meant unbranded phones that are of a certain age. There is no need to be rude, not everybody can devote their entire life to the ins and outs of their hardware, you don't have to be a noob not to understand HTC software release policy.
If it turned out that HTC had suggested I do a hard reset on my phone to get the software updated, I would have tried to return it. I've lost days of time on the hard reset merry-go-round, and I'm not getting on it again.
(I don't really want an iPhone, but if the android thing didn't work out for me, there aren't many other places to go.)
(sorry for the thread derail, OP)

I just want to let you know that I perform hard reset on my wildfire and it seem to be better now...I just intall advance task killer for now couse it seem to be 3th part app couse problem...
and something else...before I do HR i check for udates and theres no one in the box and after HR I check again and there was 1.25.405.1 update available
I'am not install it yet couse I read somewere that people compare that couse some problems on wifi.

My lag is back..sh..t,mo..er f.ck!#"#%(/()&))=()=!!!!!!!!

Lagging is normal when you're using a F**KING task killer. Cus you're breaking the Android's super memory management system. Uninstall the task killer. Reboot your phone and enjoy its speed

Ok. but how to kill apps that used memory?

I never really noticed a lag on my Wildfire. I got the latest update a couple of days ago and I can say I did notice a slight improvement in performance. But as far as I know, every phone lags at some point, it's normal isn't it?
Check your software again and check what exactly your task killer is and isn't closing. If you want to get deeper, go check what services are running via the settings menus.
You have to also understand, the Wildfire is only an entry level model. It's not as powerful as the high end models, so there is bound to be some performance issues now and again. If you can't deal with that, get rid of it and go for something more powerful.

I know what I bay and wath for...I am not complaining about my phone performance,that laggs started 10 days ago and its not because my phone isn't Desire!

PlZ read this which explains why android doesn't need a task killer. It basically closes apps down after a minimal amount of time.

Hmm looks interesting...... So is the lag with every phone or only some of them?

Phone is Making Random Phone Calls

Two of my work colleagues came up to me this morning and were curious to why I had called them. One colleague received a call yesterday evening at 10:30PM and the other received one at 9AM this morning. Keep in mind the call my other colleague received at 9AM this morning was when I was sitting at my desk.
My call log shows nothing in regards to calling these people.
Is anyone else having this problem or have heard of it?
Both of their names begin with BR. Not sure?

??!!! OH ****...did u install some of this apps?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976913
it's maybe laggy, maybe Malware
if it's gonna be again, just flash it to any custom rom (IF U DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, try to wipe everything, do the factory reset+(if i was you) erase USB storage too)
or
type this on the dial pad
*2767*3855# (it's gonna delete everything !)
or
Manual method is to place the phone in Restore Mode (Power off (shut down phone), Vol up + power on )
Factory Reset then Clear Cache (it's gonna delete everything !)

2.3.X+ was immune to those apps.
Note that, since everyone on Nexus S is presumably running at least Android 2.3, the vulnerability those apps exploited is already patched, rendering the malicious code ineffective. It's only people with older OS versions that need to be concerned. Yet another argument for taking responsibility for software updates out of the hands of manufacturers and carriers.

ok, so did you try to wipe everything? after when you find your "Phone is Making Random Phone Calls"?

I'm new to Android so I just want to confirm I should do the factory wipe?
I don't know anything about ROM type etc...
I don't really have anything " saved" on my phone. A few APPs, I mean literally two or three.
My only concern would be the contacts but those are synced with Google so I shouldn't have any issues. As far as texts, browsing history, photo's, none of that stuff really matters to me.
Should I do the wipe?

I would.

Do it....no choice

Do you use bluetooth headets?
I read in other android forums for other phones that some ppl had similar issues when they were using really old bluetooth headsets and was causing random dialing. This is supposing your phone's dialer isn't compromised.

I don't use Bluetooth headsets. Just use Bluetooth in my car.

My mom's NS used to make random calls and she uses a bluetooth headset. It was a really old one. I got her a new one and so far her phone hasn't been making any random calls. Also I manually updated hers to 2.3.3 as well. Are you on 2.3.3?

[Q] Clock Setting Back to Default 1/1/2009 After Restart

My Acer A500 always resets the date & time to 1/1/2009 when I restart it. But yesterday when I checked with my friends A500; that isn't the case. His tab had the correct date and time after restart.
Can anyone tell me if there is any internal battery needs changing?
"Restart (Offing the tab waiting 10sec and starting it up again)"
Running Stock Honeycomb 3.2.1

Is your tablet encrypted?

Nope. It is not encrypted.

I was looking at the internal breakdown, and I didn't see an internal battery, other than the main battery. Not like you would see on a PC for example.
Probably, because the newer hardware uses Flash memory, unlike PC's in the old days, which relied on EPROMS and a battery to keep things updated on the Prom memory.
So, unless anybody has some other input on this, that I don't know about, I'll pull a sherlock holmes, and use the deduction method.
This probably didn't occur after you first bought the tab, and the OS was fresh. Otherwise, you would have returned it.
And By the way, what is your current Android version?
I'll have to point the finger, at this time, as some sort of app you downloaded. I can't tell you which one, as I just don't know. Half a million apps on the market, and even more unofficial apps.
I would suggest a factory reset. (back up your critical stuff), and see if the issue remains.
I don't know if you're rooted, or running a custom rom. So I at this time, will say you're not.

First of all sorry for the late reply. Was very busy. Please find my comments in red.

I had this problem from day one. I didn't suspect it as a problem of the tab.
And By the way, what is your current Android version?
current version is 3.2.1
I'll have to point the finger, at this time, as some sort of app you downloaded. I can't tell you which one, as I just don't know. Half a million apps on the market, and even more unofficial apps.Since this problem was there from day one I don't think it is a app problem
I would suggest a factory reset. (back up your critical stuff), and see if the issue remains.
The only thing that I didn't try due to limited and expensive data charges in Sri Lanka. Can't spend 5-6 hours re downloading everything
I don't know if you're rooted, or running a custom rom. So I at this time, will say you're not.
It is not rooted and I'm not running a custom rom.
Since it is still under warranty I'm thinking should I send it for a replacement.
Appreciate your thouths on this matter.

Try this..
go to settings
Date and time . Look at the Set Date and take note
Toggle off the Automatic date to off .. (un check)
Set proper time and time zone . but change there formats
change the hour format
change the select date format..
Shut down your tablet.. Then restart it.. This might sound useless. But if its a error in the software that controls the clock hardware. This might trigger it to reset. We used to have this issue on the old AMI BIOS CHIPS.MOSTLY on asus main boards. of course try a couple times.. because of the date being so far off it sounds like error in what ever controls the time and date.. Not a android tech . but im guessing the boot loader controls the date.or looks at it at the least..
only other option is to root . install cwm thru acer recovery installer.. DO a backup . with cwm and titanium . that will allow you to not have to re download all of your apps.
As i said the above is likely to not work.. but i know it was a issue on some old old main boards. YOUR FACTORY INSTALL COULD HAVE A ISSUE. Just never seen this with clock....
Good luck and sorry for being so long winded.

Thanks for your post. I'm still unable to get this date corrected. Tried it around four times and still no luck.

I'm just out of guess's on this one. Never heard of it before.
But you're better off taking it back for exchange. Considering it's happened since day one, and you haven't rooted.
Don't they have free wifi in Mcdonalds over there? Or try around the tourist type areas. Cafe's and such. Usually they try and kiss the feet of the tourists.

WOWEEEEE if Moscow desire can't fix it. It must not be repairable. Giggles
I to agree send it back has to be hardware Fail.but you are welcome to blame it on me

Thanks Everyone. I will talk with the local Acer agent and see if I can get a replacement.

If your planning on getting a replacement you will have to re-download everything also, which is your reasoning for not doing a factory reset to fix the issue to start with.

I finally mustered the courage and did a factory reset. I had all my data wiped out. Took a long time to get my most used apps.
Well the thing is it did not solve the problem. Still when my tab starts I get the default date and time 1/1/2009 @ 5:30 AM.
One strange thing I noticed is that when I do a restart with my ac adaptor plugged in, the date and time are correct.
Just wanted to post so that it might help someone who's having the same problem.

phone problems

Can anyone help with theses issues?
I have a couple programs that will not work on my lg g2 I have deleted cache, uninstalled, reinstalled and its still the same...they are espn scorecenter and grocery iq, I cant get any menus to pull up to login or anything (anyone else seeing this with this phone?)
I also can not get carbon helium on the computer to recognize this phone, I have installed drivers and done everything I know how, and nothing...I need a way to get my old apps and settings (I do not wan to play through plants vs zombies again just to get where I am) from the s4 to this phone.
I have had it lock up and I had to reset it by holding power button down for 8 seconds, anyone else see this? It was just sitting idle when it happened.
other then that, holy battery batman and great camera, really like what I see out of this phone!
(originally posted somewhere else, but I wanted to copy it over here to see if you guys could help)

I use ESPN ScoreCenter and haven't had any problems with that app on the G2. I also haven't had it lock up on me (although I've only had my G2 for about a week or so).
Are you using the stock rom? If so you could maybe try a factory reset to see if that fixes anything.

thanks for the reply, Yes I am 100% stock (first time in my android life)..I will try a factory reset to see if that helps will report back asap.
edit: okay so factory reset help with espn scorecenter, thats it grocery iq and helium still a no go, started playing around with it and in order for clockworkmod helium to work with this phone it has to be set as internet/ethernet on the usb connection, NOT any other option, then it seems to work, or is working as I am restoring stuff right now. will update again.

device keeps shutting down

No matter what battery i have left, if i leave the tablet with the screen off for any length of time (half hour say), the tablet seems to die?
To start it again, i have to long press the power button and the device reboots.
Does anyone know why? Its only started since recent updates.
My N10 is not rooted, and running 5.0.1.
Any help would be appreciated.

I guess no one else has this issue?
I literally go back ten minutes after using the N10, and it has shut down. Only a long press to reboot will bring it back?
Frustrated

I just bought/ordered a Nexus 10 so I might as well come in here and start talking to people about it. lol
I haven't used a Nexus 10 before but it should be like any other Nexus device. If your tablet is turning off on it's own, first off, pray it isn't hardware related. Hopefully some hardware inside isn't failing on you. But to make sure it isn't software related, I would say use the factory images and do a fresh install. This will set anything that is out of wack straight. If its software related, it will fix it.

Cheers for the reply.
Do you mean a factory reset, and I will lose all my saved stuff?
I'm not very clued up tbh, and only ever update the Nexus when notified.

It's not just a simple factory reset that you do in the settings or recovery. It will wipe your device (Internal storage and all) but it wipes everything including all system files and reflashes everything back to the way you got it out of the box. If you had a software issue and sent it in to get fixed, they would most likely do this. Its safe if you read up on it and know what you are doing. Google gives us the factory images for this reason. Here is an article for instructions. Not used to the Nexus 10 forums so I don't know if they have a dedicated thread for this:
http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/flash-factory-image-nexus-device/
I'm sure there are some videos on YouTube explaining in depth on how to do it as well. You might want to watch them and get familiar with the process. It's not that hard once you have everything you need to do it. Just back up everything onto your computer, flash the images and put everything back onto your tablet when done.

Thanks very much. I'll have a read up on that and give it a go.

My tablet used to do that. I've had this tablet since I pre-ordered it on initial release (so it's old!) It would also freeze/reboot at times, especially using any browser, so I naturally thought it was a browser problem. But, it would also occasionally do as you describe, wouldn't turn on unless I did a hard reset - holding power button 15-20 seconds or so. I'm also rooted so I started trying different roms. Finally, I flashed the 10.18 release of AOKP. It's beautiful & runs perfect. I've not had ANY, not a single issue & have been running it since last October. I don't think I'll ever change anything from here on. That's just my personal experience.
