Just installed the official update from HTC site (Sweden). Major difference in performance now. Some things i noticed so far:
- Contacts now scrolling smooth, before it would stutter bad.
- All lists scroll smother, including the standard Android lists.
- Lock screen animation smoother.
- All screen transitions seem smother as well, esp the one that appears when you press the "phone" button. Would skip and stutter for me before, now it animates each time.
- phone seem to starts up faster.
- Sense UI of course scrolling smoother and without stutter.
- Entire OS just feels smoother and snappier.
-Pictures in album scrolling much smoother.
- Camera update, you can choose focus point by touching screen and you can set ISO.
Really good update, im actually suprised of how much work seems to have gone into it.
If only HTC had done this when the phone was released, instead of as usual releasing it buggy and receiving bad reviews from the media. Good things though i guess is that from now on the upcoming phones will be superior. Hope they will work on marketing so the general user will notice android, now that the OS is fast, pretty and smooth(which seems to be what the "normal" user , i.e my dad and all his friends, cares about).
This is going to get really interesting, with iPhone 3.1 not being jailbroken it may be a real opportunity for the Hero to offer a credible alternative.
I left WM 2 months ago for an iPhone and am really enjoying the experience but am concerned about iPhone vulnerability at the moment with no JB solution. Luckily I have my work provided Hero in case my iPhone becomes locked.
:-D
Can you set the updated ROM to english? or is it just Nordic languages.
Can you post the exact version and build number?
Got one question for you, drsmisk:
When in the Browser, if you rotate to landscape and press the search button, does the keyboard star jumping and the notification bar start flashing?
(it does this in modacos 2.2 rom)
Build is 2.73.4055 146733 CL#61267
Software version is 1.0.0.A6288
there are several languages to choose from, all nordic languages and also english. I have the OS in english.
And yes, the keyboard and notification bar does jump when in landscape in browser. never noticed that before.
i've just updated using the nordic ROM. All my original languages (I'm Dutch) were present and available in the setup wizard. I don't understand the release of a 'nordic rom'. All languages I had used before are still available. And I have no nordic languages available. Apparantly the update didn't delete your previous languages.
The Hero is now super fast! Faster than my iPhone 3G. Excellent!!!
well, i bought a Dutch Hero, applied that WWE original rom and the WWE leaked update and still had "English (Netherlands)" and other original ones on the language selection screen :/ wish i knew can i kill it and make it WWE :/
I'm running an official release of this update (my device came back from repair and the service center reflashed my device with this new rom)
I agree with the speed improvements.
What I did notice, and I didn't have this problem with the old firmware, was some network problems. A few times a day I get a pop up screen saying I have a network problem and I should try again (both on Wifi and 3G) however, my laptop and my iPhone (all on the same WiFi network) run fine at the exact same time. When I switch the Sim card my iPhone doesn't have network problems but when I switch back my Hero is complaining again. The problem always solves itself again after a few minutes.

Yes it does. It does the same when in portrait mode too.

nope, only Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. Sorry about that.
can someone test the youtube widget see if you can actually signout now?nasty bug that beens annoying the hell out of me.
Apart from the speed issue, two main problems that many people are facing are:
1) The blurring/pixelating of the contact pics when calling or being called. This looks really ugly!
2) Thumbnails not being generated by the Albums app in certain SD cards, especially microSDHC 8GB class 6 cards, thus making the photo-veiwing experience not so great. It apparently is the same for MCR 2.2. However, works alright with the original 2GB class 2 card that comes with the phone.
Could those of you who have installed and played with the new ROM update or any other newer/custom ROM, please comment of these issues and whether they have been ressolved or not?
Cheers
i can't wait...
someone can tell me if there are software improvements to solve this defect:

Hi,
I've been trying to get the MyPhone premium features trial (locate lost phone/remote ring etc.) to work on the HD2 and to set this up the service needs to send 12 silent messages to the phone. This worked on my old Polaris just fine but on the HD2 it fails to recieve these 12 messages and therfeore the service cant be used.
Does anyone else have this problem???
Thanks
Just gave it a go - same problem - FYI I'm on Vodafone..
Have you guy's updated your ROM to the newest version? Maybe HTC has fixed it... I don't know, but it's worth a try.
I've not flashed yet, due to the O2 branded ROM, might try the goldcard method on the weekend.
Anyone with the newer ROM care to try the free premium features trial and report back
Thanks

Hd2 my phone premium features dont work
I have a HD2 which i bought sim free which Im using on the Orange UK 3G network.
I've also noticed that the premium features on ms_myphone dont work with the HD2.
Along with everyone else, I get the message that the phone cannot be contacted.
As soon as the ROM is officially announced on the website of HTC: Report this issue. Maybe they fix it soon then...

TBH don't see the point in waiting until ROM is officially announced, after all it doesn't work in the current ROM neither! So reporting it as "not working" now just means they can't come back with a "this feature is supported in a forthcoming ROM" (or if they do then we'll know they are talking about something coming later in the pipeline than 1.48!).
I think the more people that report it the better; especially as the whole MS MyPhone feature doesn't seem to have had all that much marketing (at least the here in the UK) therefore the might not immediately be that many people complaining about it.
Just my opinion
Don't know if it's relevant, but having run MyPnone on the original ROM I was (as is standard) asked to download an update to the application. I did this and all was well until today when I was asked to download another update, which I have also done.
Why not see if there is any way to force this update - it may be a bugfix?

Semi-relevent but sadly not a fix..
The 'updated' version of the MyPhone app contains the code for the 'Premium' service to work, however these in turn have to then be supported by the phone itself. FYI. Turns out what it does is constantly monitor your incoming txt messages for and intercepts specially formatted ones from the MS server instructing it to do something (ie. for the MyPhone app to launch and connect back to base, turn ringer to full and ring, acquire GPS fix, etc etc). I'd hazard a guess it is the HTC Sence txt messaging service which is preventing this service from working - after all it is known already not to play nice with the txt message notification queue and instead hog it to itself.
So in summary: without the update you'd have no chance of the location element of the Premium Services working, with it you still need support from your handset and it would seem up to ROM 1.48 at least we have sadly confirmed not to have this with the HD2 at this stage. A fix needs to come from either HTC or Microsoft (further updated to MyPhone app), or quite possibly both.
There's a relevant thread over at the MyPhone forum that I tried to add to http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MyPhone/thread/57659d5c-2077-4387-9bda-92643e17cab7
not had a reply yet, maybe we need a new thread over there?
i think it must be the HTC messaging app ... has anyone install back the old windows message app, and try the myphone Premium features again?
Im going to bump this thread now that custom ROMS are out there and ask
Is anyone with the htc messaging removed able to set up the premium features of MyPhone?
How do you disable HTC messaging....?
Can you fully disable senseUI ?
On a stock rom....
Serriously, your telling me that no one cares about locating their lost phone, remote wiping etc!

If you are looking for find my phone style software, forget the myphone premium, go look at Remotetracker. Free, and superb. Stuffed with tons of features. TXT your phone, it will call you back with the microphone open, another command will text you gps coordinates and a link to the position on google maps, another commands will start the gps, make a 5 minute track log and then text it to you in google earth compatible format,, send popup messages to teh phone, get it to send you all your contacts, get it to wipe the SD card, the list is endless.
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
remotetracker is good but I would prefer to be able to use a website to contact my phone rather than having to send a text to it. also being able to ring the phone etc and view it on a map
Here are a few links with information (including the HTC website download mirror) regarding the official update from T-Mobile USA, courteously provided by: Pocket Now!
Upgrade Announcement!
ROM Information!
I will most likely be applying this update within the next few days. Although, I'm a little hesitant just because I figure that certain, "Manila modifications" won't operate properly on this upgraded T-Mobile USA version... NOT YET ANYWAY!
Thanks,

Install new ROM and restore from Sprite
I plan to install the new official ROM and then do a full restore from a Sprite backup that I will have done while on the old ROM.
Will that work
Do I need to do anything different with Sprite or is it just a normal restore
Thanks for any advice.
I have downloaded this version and installed it...i think its slow and it lags. so i got rid of it and i flashed back old one.

I wouldn't advise that...
Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."
It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.
Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?
Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.
I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.
Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.
I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...
Any changelog ?

The HTC Sense menus no longer have the "snap back" feature.
The overall screen sensitivity has been increased.
HTC Peep, the standard Twitter client appears to be completely removed.
The lock screen no longer "stutters" (on occasion) during the "slide to unlock."
Upgraded radio, including the version number.
Upgraded ROM, including the build number.
"T-Mobile Help," the micro-forums application has been included.
"My Account" has been included, with a more "feature-rich" experience.

I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?
Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.
How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.
BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.
Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.
Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.
One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.
The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.
I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.

Did you have any troubles with the installing of the update? Anything at all that went not according to plan?
Hello all,
I'm aware that this might be better placed in the thread announcing the FW release itself, but there seems to be turning into wailing wall where ppl who raise issues but they're left unanswered (I asked the same questions there but in vain).
The issues / questions I have with wrt that realease
1) Serious issue: 3G data connection.
No matter what settings the phone does initiate a data connection -- I enabled "Use packet data", enabled "Data Roaming" (even if I'm in my home netw) and even set the network mode to "WCDMA only", but all to no avail: There is no 3G icon close to the signal strength bars in notification area and the the "Mobile Network State" in the Status is reported as "Disconnected" and the phone cannot connect to the data network
Everything worked perfectly fine in JM release.
2) The one click lag fix does not work on XXJPH
The one click lag fix linked from the first post in the release thread (namely this lag fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8223512) is, as per version 1.6.7 (which seems to be the last one) not relevant for XXJPH, but there are references to a "release 2" of the said fix. However, I cannot locate that .... Am I missing smth here ?
3) Input language selection.
There is a very limited set of input languages that can be selected. In particular, there is no choice for scandinavian languages (swedish / norwegian / danish). Can that be added ?
TIA for the feedback.
Florian
1) Have you set a valid APN in mobile connections?
2) I don't use a lagfix in JPH, its running very smooth and fast for me
3) no idea
I'm currently using 3G data and OCLF on my JPH.
Did you wipe your data/cache?
First and foremost, thanks for the quick input.
1) Yes, I did a data wipe / factory reset after flashing -- since that was what the FW instruction said (and it felt better that way)
2) Maybe this info is buried somewhere deep in the FW thread and I've missed it, but I haven't seen any instructions that I need to define an APN "manually" -- it all "just worked" in JM / JM1 without that.
Anyway, after you pointed that out I defined a new APN (took me a while to find how and what to set in there...) but now I got a 3G connection.
So many thanks for that.
The question on how to add additional input languages still stands.
Thanks again for the help.
What CSC file did you use?
Because I think the APN Settings are coming from the CSC, not the Firmware itself (PDA File).

What about bluetooth? I read in the other thread it doesn't work properly.
Bluetooth works fine
1) You don't have any APNs set up (well none the phone can use anyway) - that's why you have no 3G (or 2G) data. Search for how to configure APNs manually
2) OCLF (one click lag fix) works perfectly with XXJPH. Make sure you have correctly rooted your phone.
3) This is a development release, not one which has gone through all the localisation that a full release goes through.
Seen a lot of people having problems with one click lagfix. From my experience the only thing that stops it working is having apps moved to sd card, use app manager and make sure all apps are on phone then re run and it should work.
On the other issuse i haven't suffered from any of them

As I wrote in my previous post, as soon as someone pointed out that I need to configure the APNs I did that and now both Internet and MMS are working fine.

Sorry for being so thick (well, I'm new to Android...) but it seems that in order to (re)mount the "/system" partition in read-write mode (where these files must go) I must root my device anyway...
Or is there any easier/simpler alternative ?
2) The one click lag fix does not work on XXJPH
- Your phone has to be rooted.
- If you use One Click Lag Fix v1.6.7 by RyanZA UNINSTALL all apps on SD card: Settings-> Applications->Manage Applications->On SD card->remove all apps (e.g. Google Earth, Angry Birds)
You can re-install the apps after you have applied the 'OneClickLagFix V1+"
I've done some more reading and fixing it does look like "Major PITA": One needs to root the phone and there are some instructions on how to root JPH at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8157213&postcount=289.
Still, that doesn't look for the faint of heart (or for those who lack the time and/or will to go through the process, for that matter).
Moreover, since the official 2.2 release is due in 3 days, I guess I'l live with the JPH as it is on my phone wait for that instead.
Thanks to all that tried to help.
ONLY problem I have is wireless errors sometimes, but can be solved by turning WiFi on in actual settings menu.

Well, I have "issues" with that as well -- if the WiFi is turned on, then data network traffic goes through the WiFi instead of 3G (normal behavior). However, when the WiFi is turned off I need to toggle the phone on and off a few times before the 3G connection is re-established.
Anyway, hope that all that will be fixed in the official version...
Sometimes after cancelling calls my JPH just stays black screen ... need to pull the battery.
I found GPS really best through all builds ... but not satisfying. It gets a fix kind of quick but isnt very accurate :/
OCF, Bluetooth and swype are just working fine :> no issues there. Especially market is just cool ... no fix needed. Found flash and looks like all apps are there.
This morning I received this update:
version 2.1.3.1
weather forecast
news
stock titles
money exchange
main tweets
with live tile updates for 2 things like wheather and news or tweets
with selectable news by language by country by kind
if you tick facebook option you could share the news on your fb's home
lot better than before (yeh it's an update )
SO 7.10.7720.68
fw 2424.11.3.1
hw 3.15.0.4
radio 2424.11.2.2
hw radio 0.0.0.800
bootloader: 5.3.0.4
SOC 0.36.2.0
look a bit slower than before, but maybe it's me
and when you enter the app and see the weather with the animation it doesn't make the jingle anymore
The application now takes "ages" to start (few seconds, but it feels like ages compared to previous version). On the other hand, it doesn't lag anymore when changing pages or scrolling on Mango.
I see Samsung is working for us I hope to see Mango on our Omnia devices soon!
live tile updates doesn't work! I tried lot of different settings
never mind, there's another update just right now as soon as i posted....incredible :O
i spoke too fast, it's version 2.2.0.0 but can't update it, error code: 80320011
I' ll try tomorrow again
It's very nice to see this finally added, I actually removed it off my phone when I went Mango RTM because the lack of live tile annoyed me..but now I'm used to my home screen being so small I don't know where to put it!
I had the problems updating as well so decided to uninstall it and try from the start.
Now I get error "This application is designed for a newer version of Windows Phone".
I'm on Mango 7720.68 RTM and without Now now
i succeded to update and have version v2.2.0.1, i played with several settings and finally tha application started to work with live tile update in start menu, but only for news tile and the weather tile never worked (just updating when i click and enter the app)
i tried to untick update when app starts (don't know exact word in english because i use italian language) and to tick again with no luck
if you go to settings and background tasks you can see that Now app is there and when it's working it has a yes under the name
if you click advanced you see a menu where is explained there are phone apps with background activity even those you can't manually disable and "Now" is there
if you click on "Now" in the previous screen you go to a second menu where you can tick an option that reenable background activities (for the specific app)
I must say also that under this option I have a notice that says in english "Update now secondary tile" even if all the application is set with italian language,
I lauched Now app ---> settings --->live tile and here you can choose live tiles, i tried everything here tick untick, go to start menu and erase everythin related to Now, re - tick again but
i didn't find a way to add or enable primary tile update, looks like a bug or something. When I choose live tiles and tick news, the tile appears in start menu but if i tick weather nothing happens and to have again the tile in start menu i have to go to all programs and use a long press on Now app
sorry for my bad english, hope you understood

Cheers, yeah I did end up trying again this afternoon and it installed fine.
i deleted and reinstalled fresh and now works, but has still some parts not translated
application Now version 2.3 in the Marketplace but strange error occurs: Error 80320011
Hi anyone having problems adding stocks to the new now app, I keep getting authorization error from yahoo.
never tried and now i downgraded to nodo and there's no update, will check, maybe others???
I downgraded to nodo as well and it doesn't even appear in the marketplace. Samsung probably updated it to a mango app, but the old version isn't available to me anymore.
"Now" hasn't been available since 30 aug/1 sept as far as i remember for nodo.
Starts too slow, but good to see Samsung moving in the right direction.
A friend my showed me this app on his Samsung last night and it looks very cool. I have an HD7 so alas I cannot get it. Does anyone know of a similar app in the marketplace?
Thanks!
good question, but i think you could easily find a reply if you ask in HD7 forums
my version is 2.7.0.1 updated yesterday (2 nov 2011)
