Ok, i just received the OTA 2.3.3 update for my Desire Z.
Doesn't look like too many changes.
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Anything to look out for??
How can I get the update I'm on simple mobile can someone post a like to the update

If you want the offical 2.3 update, you have to wait for your carrier to push it to you OTA.
If you have root, however, there are alot of 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 builds that you can flash.
I'm just curious if OTA shows for all guys who have installed clean Gingerbread Test ROM.
Do messages still display in the wrong order with stock htc sms app?
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 G2 using XDA App
Messages are sorted fine, at least on my phone. Which is curious, since usually java+locales+sorting is a kind of combination that screws things up for me
Only negative thing to say about this release (besides being awfully late) is that GPS reception is bad (still). It could be HW issue though.
Best Regards,
- A nearly happy HTC Vision user
I updated. Some things are good:
New screen with app, wifi connection speed up, galery works fine
Some thing not good:
Phone restart, very often sense restart, gps problems with turn on and fix pos

If you're on simple mobile, then you're in the US and probably have a G2. Then this update doesn't apply to you

Can any one suggest a Custom Rom to upgrade from a T-Mobile Stock Rom for a myTouch 3G 1.2 32A?
Some thing plain simple ROM with no bogged down extra apps.
froyo will be nice, but dont know if Flash going to work and Camera and GPS working @ 100%. (i like to geotag my photos)
Something Stable and Fast.
Moving from ATT Tilt with Android NAND flash to this myTouch 3G.
thnx in advance!
Can't go wrong with CyanogenMod 5.0.8-DS.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Why not go all the way to CyanogenMod 6.0.0 DS?
It is very stable and fast plus all the benefits of FroYo
Very stable is not the word I would use. Every release of CM 6 I've tried has ran crappy.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Thnx for the reply. Finally got CM6 running with out glitch so far on my myTouch 3G 1.2. With clockwork.
Only thing I misses is Swype keyboard. How do I get this install? Me don't see it in Market.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
You wont be able to reinstall swype, legally anyways. For swype to be included in a ROM the ROM dev would have to pay the guys that created it and there's no fun in that. I'm not sure why they don't offer it in the market though.

I found SlideIt. a friend of mine bought extras. Works great. all i can think of odd is, how to type "too" and alike.
1. The downloads app shows up in the app drawer.
2. When holding the power button and selecting shut down, the phone is put into hibernate mode. Pressing the power button to turn it back on yields very very short 2 second boot time. Do a battery pull to compare boot times. Option to turn this off is in Setting >> Applications
3. You must do a battery pull, hold down on the volume rocker, and then power to boot up into bootloader mode.
4. The animations are much smoother and different now.
5. When you receive a new message, a green and black number notificiation shows up on the messages icon on the homescreen.
6. The phone has just overall been going quicker.
Let me know if you guys noticed anything else?
Ihtfp69 said there should be an option in the settings to turn on/off "quick boot."

Why run this Rom when cm7s been on gb for months?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I don't remember the original ROM having a restart option....
The "downloads" app has always been in the apps drawer on every gingerbread rom. Its a cool feature but it's useless unless you use the stock browser, I wish you could use it with any browser.
I tried CM7 a few times and it always ran like crap after about 12-24 hours and I had to take it off. I flashed OMFGB like two days ago and it runs great, except that it doesn't like to display my widgets some times (I'm using ADW EX).
I'm tempted to try out the leak, but I think I'll wait a few days until it gets tweaked more and/or has Sense >=2.0
OP, in regards to your hibernation question. There should be an option somewhere in the settings that allows you to enable/disable Fastboot. It's sort of like a hot restart.

In my experience, this leak has been running much smoother for me than CM and the battery life is better.

some people like sense over ASOP. Gingerbread and sense seems like a good combination to me
well, i noticed everything you did but one other also... NETFLIX ISNT WORKING!!!! is there any way to fix this? it doesnt seem to work with any sense+gingerbread combos as im running the Kingdom rom and it still doesnt work any ideas?
Touchdown app works, the license app doesn't which sucks, no Netflix...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
The leak has been great for me! Runs so much better than froyo did. Really smooth animations, and I like the fast boot option
Anyone else's Swype not working with the leak? That sucks. It does run well but I can't wait for the developers to get to work on it, and why no Sense 2.0?
sloow
I wish I knew why gingerbread/sense 3.0 is running so slow for me, Im killing off
Apps but I can barley squeeze out 100mb free memory...could this be a kernel
Holdup?
netflix seems to be having issues with other devices as well.
Something that I noticed is in froyo when I am in the messaging app and the screen times out I don't recieve notifications but I do with the update. Not sure if this is a setting I missed in 2.2 but either way I'm glad it works now.
FYI I use the stock messaging app and realize if I used Handcent it would not have been an issue but I prefer the stock app.
anyone else having an issue with Google Talk not working? It force-closes every time when trying to launch. Anybody know of a fix? Other than that, loving the Gingerbread experience so far.

Hi guys
After updating to long awaited Android 2.3 gingerbread, what are the difference people have noticed in changing from android froyo 2.2?
All what were the pro & cons in your mind.
I have noticed that my WiFi keeps disconnecting by itself & also acceloerometer is not functioning properly. I.e games like teeter are not playable anymore.
Anyone else experience this? Please give ur views & feedback.
Thanks in advance

2.3 absolutly drinks battery if you leave wifi on but not connected. Wasn't an issue on the original stock rom. Regretting installing, should have just rooted and gone down the custom rom route.
There's already a thread about changes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083518
Yeh my WiFi connection is keep loosing connection & its really annoying. Should have left it to 2.2 man.
May be should have gone down the custom Rom root too.
Is there anyway we desire HD holders cam get sense 3.0 Rom on official HTC 2.3 Rom
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Confirming the WiFi disconnecting issue. Moreover, I have both data and WiFi (if connected) icons in statusbar now, which is weird.

install CM7, its faster, better battery, and you shouldnt get the update becuase cyanogenmod has them blocked!
i had CM7 installed, and it caused LOADS of issues with loads of applications for me. kept getting the forced closed message, so i went back to standard. (which was a ballache in itself because i am pretty bad at this stuff)

Sounds like he was on nightly #22
it wasn't a nightly. may give it another go.
settings-->about phone-->system updates-->uncheck automatically check system updates
Warning it appears this does not work on sense 2.1 (other than the synergy vision sense 2.1 rom since I tested that personally), so flash on sense 2.1 at your own risk.
I have this running flawlessly on my synergy vision sense 2.1 rom.
All I modified was the media profiles.xml file to match those of the v8 to have full quality no compression photos using a diff type tool to spot the differences quickly. This however causes pictures to be almost twice the size (in my case I took two identical photos and one was 700k while the second was 1.2mb).
I cant tell much difference but I am sure less compression must mean better photos.
BTW be gentle, this is my first post and though I am an experienced programmer I am not a veteran in android.
Those who use it, post your findings as I am very interested if anyone notices any differences.
By the way thanks to adakaya1994 for the orignial v7 posted.
Also thanks to asim0 for asking for this update, I wasn't aware such an update existed.
ps. use at your own risk and please back up your device before flashing this zip.
YeH now camera force closes after flashing this. Great....
Thinly file you posted is bad. It's not the size listed.

Sorry I reuploaded the file, not sure why it was corrupt in the first place, I've tested it and its ok. Make sure you can open the zip when you download the file.
This is definitely NOT working on sense 2.1 camera and camcorder again force close. Restoring back up again. Someone else's turn.

which rom are you using?
now I feel pretty crappy about screwing up someone's phone causing a restore. I installed sense 3.5 from android revoulution hd 7.0.2 and installed this patch and the camera again works great. Is it just my just chance or is it the rom you are using?

I think he flashed it on a Sense 2.1 ROM because i've previously tried flashing the HTC Amaze cam on Sense 2.1 and it caused what he described above.

Yes sense 2.1 . Op says works on 2.1 so does OP needed edited to delete 2.1?
