I have just installed it and not noticed any difference (though my phone does not suffer with the proximity sensor problem reported by some)

I've also not yet had a problem with the proxy sensor. My old version was 1.28.405.1 so i'm just updating now.

Cant seem to download this - am totally new to Smartphones - would I just download this to my PC or is there some other process ??

@crossbox : Goto > Settings > About phone > System software updates.
It is best to update via wifi for fastest download, once downloaded, select install.
phone will reboot, can take a little while to reboot so makes sure you let it restart by itself.

Brilliant - thanks
Don't know why they don't have those instructions on the HTC page - fools

When i update my phone turns off and stays off . it doesn't restart
any ideas??

just updated 1mon ago.
the process is simple, as usual, the key is always " DONT PANIC!"
go to manu - setting - about phone - system software updates - check now, and follow the on screen instruction.
The phone will restart a few times showing different screens, sometimes it looks like the phone is dead but its actually installing the update at background. during this process:
Dont remove the battery,
Dont force restart,
Dont press random keys,
and DONT PANIC!
the phone will do a full restart at the end of it and show up an system notification that the software has been upated to version 1.32.405.3

i know how the process works i have done it many times in the past. when the phone restarts it just stays off, i've left it for over 20mins and nothing. I have a feeling its because the phone is locked to tmobile.

Hey guys,
My phone had problems answering calls when i picked the phone from my pocket, it would either hang people up or make the screen disfunctioning, and make it impossible to slide the bar up or down.
after the update tried it a couple of times and the problem seems to be fixed!

I've also got a T-Mobile locked device and I can't install the update either. Annoying.

This is the first thing I am going to do when I finally get my phone on Monday.

I too am locked to T-mobile UK and the update worked a treat for me - incidentally HTC sense.com wasnt working very well prior to the update but its now working a treat

I updated aswell. Only diffrence Id seen, higher fps in benchmarks

Update worked fine for me, I didn't have the proximity issue in the first place though. My device was T-Mobile locked but I've unlocked it before the update.

Managed to install it but i had to do a hard factory reset, then installed it and everything works fine now.

Bit of a farce to get it installed on mine in the end. Created a goldcard and manually installed it using the recovery menu in the bootloader. Worked a treat.

I've uploaded here last OTA firmware update from HTC.
Maybe someone can use it.

Could someone answer these two questions please?
(1) Will it install for 3 UK phones?
(2) What's better after applying this software update? Battery?
Thanks

Anybody found out what this update really do?

Sounds like proximity sensor and MMS issues were solved.

AT&T June Security Patch

Ever since I updated to the June Security Patch, I've been having a problem with the recents screen. Usually about once a day, it will state that there are no recent apps when I push the recents capacitive button. I have to reboot in order for any apps to appear in the recents screen again.
Anybody else have this problem? And more importantly, does anybody have a solution?

I'm having this problem. Just like you I noticed it after the June patch.
---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------
Forgot to mention. I haven't found a solution. I also have no idea how a security patch can affect the software. I haven't factory reset at all but maybe that could help. I also have no idea why this update came in a month late.

Haven't tried a factory reset either. I don't feel like going through that much work to set it up again. At least not yet. Perhaps the next security patch will fix this issue.

AT&T just released the July update.

Nope, phone is rock solid after update.
Granted, it would take a few days to test for the issue you're having.

I noticed that this was more than just a security update. The file was half a gig. Also, there is a new useless AT&T app to set up and transfer settings and information between phones, and WiFi calling in quick settings.
But I also feel like the phone is slightly faster than before. Maybe it's all in my head, but it's really smooth right now.

Read some where that this latest update add wifi calling, can anybody check and see if the option is there? It's G930AUCU2APG1 for the S7, and G935AUCU2APG1 for the S7 Edge)

Yup there's an option for wifi calling in the notification quick toggles.

So does root work ?

For anybody interested, this update seems to have fixed the problem with the recents page.

I am having a terrible time with this update and looking for help. My original problem was web browser tabs constantly not loading and eventually the browsers would just crash. I used the default internet app, Chrome, Dolphin, UC broswer etc etc every single one had same problem. The phone is also freezing up at times and randomly restarting. So far I have
1. Wiped the cache partition
2. Did numerous factory resets
3. Took the phone to Best Buy and the Samsung tech reflashed my phone
4. I deleted all my synched google data
I am running out of options. I did have it working for about an hour and thought I was in the clear, but I logged into chrome and all the problems started again and I can not fix them this time. (This was the reason I deleted my google backup data). Samsung said to ship the phone to them, but I work maintenance in a nursing home and am call 24-7 most days and can not be without a phone for 2 weeks. I was hoping to either flash with an older version or at least be able to reflash myself with the new update. Any help would be appreciated.

I updated to the July update earlier this week. I'm now seeing issues with recent showing no recent apps, and my battery life is tanking. I used to get to about 30% at the end of the day and now I can't get through the day without charging. Also, Wifi calling is enabled but doesn't work...it says failure to register.

Try factory resetting. If that doesn't work there is a thread with the fw that you can restore to with Odin.

I used Odin to go back to the June patch and phone was working great. Like an idiot I thought well maybe the last time I tried to do the July update something got corrupted so I updated again and went to bed. Try out my phone this morning and back to the same issues I was having. I set the phone up as new as well so I did not transfer / back up apps and what not. For whatever reason my phone is not taking that July update. I do not get it.....

All background apps are killed since 7.1.2 update

I'm having massive problems with my Nokia 5. Since the 7.1.2 update the phone is not keep any background apps in memory. Switching between apps always causes the app to reload from scratch.
This behaviour goes away and the phone works correctly if I reboot the handset. But after an hour or so the problem returns, which leads me to think that it's a bug.
Multi-tasking isn't possible. Background tasks such as Google photo uploads, play store downloads and WhatsApp backups only occur if the apps are on screen , or until the phone is restarted.
I've tried a factory reset, but it hasn't helped. The phone would keep at least 5-6 apps in memory prior to the 7.1.2 update.
Edit: November Security Update did not fix the problem.
Edit 2: Clearing the cache partition from recovery (as suggested in the thread) does not fix the problem.
Edit 3: The problem unfortunately remains in the Oreo Beta / December Security update. For me, it takes longer for it to become a major issue following a restart than it did on 7.1.2, but after approx 18 hours of use the handset is unable to keep any apps running in the background.

Yes. This is a known issue. I rolled back to 7.1.1 version because of this. Hopefully November's patch will fix everything up (I have doubts about that, because Nokia's support is the worst I've seen. They say it's just a 7.1.2 bug, not their problem). I guess it should come out in the upcoming week, as some of the variants of Nokia 6 received updates today.

Have to keep enabling Bluetooth which is a pita

I carefully followed these steps to install original ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441
Later I just reinstalled all the updates upto September's (the usual way, officially).
But I do not recommend doing that for you can brick your phone (if something's done incorrectly (I had a bit of prior knowledge)) and 100% chance of loosing all the files and data on your phone (you can back that up)
If November's patch doesn't fix it, then, if I were you I would do that. Although.. Nokia Beta Labs should soon release Oreo Beta update for Nokia 5. Just instead of sending feedback about stuff, you could use that software as daily ROM without, most likely, that bug.

Apparently, November's update has been released. Maybe someone could install it ASAP and tell if the problem's fixed?

Right now, I've just downloaded November update and the problem is fixed! Great feeling!

The problem is NOT fixed, it just goes away temporarily after a restart.
After installing the November update on my Nokia 5, it appeared to be working, but 6 hours later and the phone is no longer keeping any apps in memory again.
The November Security update has not fixed the problem.

I' ve got the update more than 24 hours and apps aren't really killed by switching them. I've just tried to reboot the phone and apss still remains in memory. So for me, the problem was fixed!

That's because a reboot fixes the problem for a short time. When I reboot my phone the apps are retained in memory, but after a few hours of use the phone starts to kill the background apps. Rebooting the phone fixes the problem. Again, but it soon returns.
The November Security update did not include a patch or bug fix for this problem, and the problem remains on my handset (others at the Nokia community forums have also confirmed that the problem remains with the November update).

Ok. Just for curiosity. Whoever still has this issue, please write you exact Nokia 5 model (mine for example is TA-1053).
Fun thing. After I reinstalled the ROM, I had to use October's patch for couple (like 7-8) hours (November's patch was late for me). The problem did not appear for me. Now, I'm using November for almost 24 hours, did a couple of restarts, I don't get that problem. So this reinstall helped me.
Also, I was little dramatic about reinstall. If you do not do factory reset, files are not deleted. Nothing changes, just the ROM. You won't even realise.

Hi guys. I have the same problem with my Nokia 5 TA-1024. AND PLEASE TALK ON THIS FORUM ALSO FOR NOKIA TA-1024 NOT ONLY FOR TA-1053
Thank you. Also i found out on one forum how to downgrade but im not sure if it works with ta-1024

The tutorial I linked earlier works with all models.

Ta 1053 with November update and factory reset. Multitasking doesn't exist anymore.

I've uploaded a couple of videos to show the issue on my Nokia 5 (TA-1024). The phone has been updated to the November Security update, and has also been factory reset.
I initially thought that the November update had fixed the issue, but after around 6-8 hours of use, the problem resurfaced, which is why I have captured it on video. Hopefully somebody at HMD will take notice of it.
The first video is after 6-8 hours of use. The phone is no longer able to keep apps in memory, you will notice that the apps almost always reload from scratch when multi-tasking:
https://youtu.be/KU7BlSOyLdQ
The second video shows how the phone behaves directly after a restart. All apps are retained in memory, but the problem unfortunately comes back after a few hours of use.

I've sent a video to the support. Still no response. They responded me about later issue I wrote to them.
And yes. Warranty stays. It's not a custom ROM, nor it's a root. It's official ROM.

SM-T500 Apps / Games flashing black when running

Hi all,
Just like to check as i am at a loss on what to do. I got my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4" SM-T500 last month. Generally it was ok except that samsung browser will hang when the tablet goes into deep sleep and it will take mins for it to 'catch up' meaning i cannot turn off the tablet or launch applications during that time. Youtube app sometimes will sometimes randomly close.
However in early dec, after a samsung software update, games and some apps started flashing black for 5 seconds and perhaps about 2 seconds of the app /game screen shown. It has not gone into sleep or anything as if the game / app appears on the screen you can still click on items and all. Restarting the tablet or factory reset did not help. Youtube app will still randomly close.
Already sent in to samsung service centre and they tell me they have reflashed the latest firmware.. however above problems remain. I asked customer support and they told me that at this point to wait for a new samsung update or app update which may solve the following issue. but thats going to take a while before an update comes from their tablet
Wonder is there anything i can do ?
Thank you.

This is happening to me since the latest update as well.
I wouldn't stress about too much. Updates have been coming pretty regular so just wait for an update. They've updated the tablet about 3 times since I bought it so I feel they'll have this fixed soon.
Nothing I've done fixed it so I'm just waiting for an update.

Do you have auto rotate on? It seems turning it off stopped the black screen for me. Give it a try until it's fixed with an update.

Tested to turn off the auto rotate but didnt help. There is a new Samsung update but seems it didnt do anything to help. i will try the factory reset later again

Yes, I thought that solved it but you're right, turning off auto rotate didn't actually help.
I haven't gotten any new updates since version T500XXU2ATK3.
What version are you on?
I'm pretty confident a factory reset won't solve this problem. I'm happy I'm not the only one experiencing this. Hopefully an update will fix it soon.

My version is now T500XXS2ATL1, security patch level is 1 December 2020
You are right, the factory reset didnt do anything at all. It made it worst!! even at the home screen it will just keep flashing. I gave up and went back to the service centre and told them to do something as i could not work on it. They changed the motherboard and it seems ok for now. Stil testing it but problem seems to have gone away.
Suggest if yours is under warranty to do the same too!

Any update on your experience?
Just wanted to update that I solved this problem for myself by downgrading to firmware version T500XXU2ATJ6 which had a November 2020 build/release date (with Sept 2020 security patch unfortunately). I'm happy now though. Confirmed fully working after using for over a week.

Hmm after the hardware change, the tablet works as it should. I am still on the T500XXS2ATL1 firmware.

Interesting. Someone else on the Samsung forums had a similar issue and firmware downgrade solved his issue.

When a firmware newer than ATL1 comes out I'll try it.
Also, doubt this tablet will get Android 11 before May/June.

hmm wondering if there is anything different in our tablets (mobo chips /memory / etc) which made it behave so drastically with this firmeware update. And with a hardware change it seems to work better? hmmm wondering wondering.
I still have one small issue where every now and then unlocking the screen you may not be able to access any icons, i will need to lock the screen again and drag on camera/browser before i am able to use the tablet. This happened out of the box as well but didnt think much of it then.

That's exactly what I'm wondering. Some minor component difference on the mobo having compatibility issues with the different firmwares.
Kinda sounds like a touchscreen issue you're having. Hopefully it won't get unbearably bad for you.
