Vodafone Australia has announced the FOTA of 2.3 for the Desire HD today.

Great news! Australian HTC Desire HD owners are getting an update to Gingerbread (Android 2.3) starting from today. Over the next few weeks, your handsets will receive a notification inviting you to update the phone software. We recommend connecting to a WiFi network to download the update. Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy Gingerbread.

I upgraded with the RUU a couple of weeks ago, but it's good to see everyone else is finally getting it.

Well after a some testing it seems that the update from vodafone aus also has the poor wifi connectivity bug.
I have also noticed that the dialer seems to be using quite a bit more battery usage than before the update. it seems vodafone have put some of their crap-ware in the dialer package and that is causing the problem.
Hows everyone else's update experience going?

Battery life and the absence of bloatware are two reasons why I switched to CyanogenMod 7. (As well as the extraordinary wait for the update to 2.3.)
If your phone is rooted you can flash a new radio and RIL to get better wifi connectivity (and 3G/HSPA). If you're interested, these are available in the DHD Development forum.
I now get 3-4 days from a single charge. I hope I don't need warranty because it's voided...

I've been using custom ROMs soon after getting my phone, I wonder do I need to revert back to Vodafone AU ROM to receive the update?

Ya updated mine yesterday (3 Australia) but sad that it don't come with Sense 3.0 ...

Which RUU did you use? I've been asking Vodafone if they have one to flash.

I actually have been trying to install but I keep getting an error when it re-starts for the installation process. Gets about a 1/4 way then I get a red triangle with an exclamation point in the centre...
Any pointers or suggestions?

Galaxy Note Firmware Update 101.48mb

HI im just downloading as im typing this Galaxy note unlocked UK Spec i did flash the Car phone WareHouse firmware last month is this ICS??? Any one else tried updating there Note today ???

Doubtful, think ICS will be a full wipe, probably around 500mb.
I went to see if there were any updates for mine on O2 and got really excited when a 2 part Samsung disclaimer came up... Then realised I had to refresh recently and this was the first time I'd done an ota search
Rest easy, it will come soon enough :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

It will just be the LC1/LB2 update. An ICS update would be significantly larger than ~100MB.

I just got the update last night and you are correct it is the LC1 update. Just wondering though would the change log be the same for this version as the roms? If not where could we find the change log ? The only real difference I've noticed is the S memo menu now has an option to only detect S pen input and the lock screen has changed slightly. Any other info would be greatly appreciated

Samsung doesn't release changelogs for firmware updates. If i am not mistaken, they released a powerpoint/pdf showing the touchwiz differences from GB to ICS for the galaxy S II.

only other notable (sorry!) change is the option for a "one-handed" portrait keyboard and removal of banding on black images (eg. lockscreen) which previously affected some devices.
Several folks have said that the s-pen accuracy is improved and the lag is decreased too. I think I've noticed that too - while I'm pretty sure the s-pen can now be much more accurately positioned on-screen, the lagginess improvement may be pure placebo (the phone UI is in general slightly more smooth after the update, and the brain does funny things sometimes).

no it isnt ics, ics will be a few hundred meg in size, you have the lc1 update

Where's the Wi-Fi love!

This is mostly just me, after a whole 24 hours of being a Note 10.1 owner (woot, go me) being annoyed that its the 3G owners that have gotten all the update goodies!
Germany got theirs a month ago, UK got theirs today... but only the 8000 models.
In theory this would mean that the 8010/8013 models will get released in Germany first, and then in the UK a month after that...
I really really *really* hope that this is not the case though. For this would be... vexing.
Saying that, I'll probably end up rooting and putting the uk 8000 rom onto my tablet anyway, as I am an impatient soul. But it is the principle of the thing that counts!
I think the reason this whole thing bothered me is this poll I saw the other day - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871383
If the 3G model was the most popular, then prioritising that firmware would make sense. It seems as though the WiFi models are by far the most prolific though!
OR.... WiFi users are more likely to answer polls.
Keep wishing hard guys, maybe we will get an update soon. and then hopefully someone will finally do a non-8000 custom rom!!

I have just decided to enjoy what I have for now. 8010 update before Christmas at some time will be fine with me. I dumped an iPad and a transformer 101 for my note and one for my other half. We are pleased.
Being a software developer I know the importance of good testing and would rather wait than have to put up with junk. Just my tuppence worth.

Makes sense, I also came from an iPad (the original one) and upgraded to a Note. Is quite a difference!

I'm a happy new owner also & very eager to get buttery smoothness on this fantastic piece of kit! hope we not waiting too long

I had enough couldn't wait anymore flashed the German jellybean on my 8010 couldn't be happier. I couldn't stand the lag on ICS, jellybean so smoooothhh don't care much for the feature smoothness was the most important.

Yep the 8000 firmware, I don't notice any drawbacks. It's stable like ics, a lot smoother, battery life same as ics 3days 10.5hrs screen. The only thing is you gotta set govonor on-demand

i want some wifi love too :crying:
i would like to have more developing for this tablet

Only real noticeable drawback is that if you use a USB toggle to connect a wireless keyboard or mouse it will drop signal on the German OTA. Other than that and the OnDemand thing as mentioned earlier it works fine on the 8013.

So that's the 8000 firmware on a 8010 Note? I understood there were issues with the ROM looking for hardware that doesn't exist. Sorry for bringing this up again, I like my Note and don't want to stuff it up.

I'm using "Team Union Rom" 8000 on my 8010 wifi without any problems what's so ever. All you have to do is use SetCPU which comes with the Rom to scaling: on-demand and check set on boot. No os issues, no random reboot all fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm pretty peev'd about this too. Can't believe that a non-3G device is getting the updates last of all. Surely theres no modem nor carrier testing to worry about so it should have actually been the first to be released?
I REALLY want to use the features of 4.1.1 and am refusing to utilise my Note properly until I get the official update.
COMEONE SAMSUNG!! Pull yer finger out!

+1 on this. This rom runs perfectly on our wifi devices

I dont want to be forced to ROOT my device though unfortunately (I have a SGS3 for all my custom ROM business lol)
Got apps that won't work if ROOT is enabled on my device, and as I intend to use this note 10.1 for work related stuff its going to be essential having a stock ROM........

What apps won't work on your SGS3 since root? I have yet to find anything whether it be on my note or my SGS3 that don't work...

DME for Enterprise (Work exchange emails) - That's because the administrator has set it to not allow ROOTED or Jailbroken devices. (I know its because I set it up lol!)
There is a work around but I care not to implement it as it still means turning a security feature off which is not worth it just for my sake!!.
Anyway - Anyone wanting to 'voice their concern' regarding no JB for 8010 users - please post on samsung page here:
http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile
(Look for post Entitled: GALAXY Note 10.1 gets Premium Suite update. Packs enhanced multitasking, new S Pen-optimized features and Android Jelly Bean.)

Good for Enterprise won't work on rooted phones when the no root policy is in effect.

I'm also a new owner of this tablet(closing in on 3 weeks). I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I know what it feels like to get updates fast. It's a little troublesome waiting for Samsung to update this device. I told myself that I wouldn't complain since Google probably takes around the same amount of time putting together updates, but they have the luxury of seeming fast by putting them out first. What I don't understand is why Samsung is releasing the JB update for the the 3G version first. This may be due to my ignorance, if so please excuse it, but I thought it would be easier to update the WiFi version especially considering they're pretty much done the development of it.

My BTU N7100 receive update by KIES

I think it is 4.1.2. GT-7100 Ver 12.12.08.01

Have just noticed a Spanish update has been released today with the same build number as the rest but the build date is slightly newer than the BTU one and has the newer PDA of XDMB4. It's got the region code as PHE. Does anyone know whether it is unbranded??
EDIT: Just flashed the Spanish PHE rom. No branding, newer build date of 12.02.13, all working well.

It seems on par with 4.1.1 to me. I flashed about 8am and got home at 7pm with 78 percent left on light useage today. Too early to make a definite decision though. Overall I'm just happy to be rid of the brick bug

Tried ota and kept getting that silly message about waiting and try again later, tried kies and it was playing up as usual freezing, so I ended up downloading latest uk btu from samfirmware and flashing with odin
Samsung make such awesome phones but give us the worst pc software ever, kies makes me scream every time!
See how my battery does today

I reverted to 4.1.1 a few days ago to do a battery test for my usage so will update to 4.1.2 again with this BTU release to test that later and compare like for like.
My impression so far is that 4.1.1 is 20-30% longer-lasting for my usage pattern (I can be a heavy user one day when traveling then ultra-light for the next 3, and 4.1.1 really excels at idle time) but I will report back with screens to the battery info thread on here.

That leaves crappy O2 (O2U) as the last provider to not have released 4.1.2!

Am happy with the Spanish XXDMB4, getting good battery life for my usual usage needs.
Phone has been on for over 16 hours, 2hr 19m of screen time, which included 15mins of browsing and downloading plus 40 min of the Dark Knight Rises game and still have 60% battery left.
Needless to say all is very smooth and fast (have lowered the animations etc to x0.5)...very pleased :good:

I'll be flashing DMB4 (PHE) later and doing a 'heavy user' test, followed by a more 'medium-light' test over the next few days.

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.
