Latest zimage 25th July, Screen of Death

A lot of users including myself are having a major problem with the latest zimage. When putting phone in standby and waking phone back up we see nothing just a dark screen yet others say they have it working?
Does anyone know what we are doing wrong if anything? Please reply if you are affected by this problem too.

I confirm that i have the same problem.

zImage from cotulla site is only for testing purpose.
since no source code for these Linux kernel builds is publicly available, nobody will be able to comment. you just lay back and wait for an update.

Same problem . blank Screen
thanks

same problem

so its not just me then. Same Problem

Most likely if you have a TMOUS, you will get the SOD, If you have a EU then no SOD. Different Panels.
Issued being worked on, I do believe.

Please clarify,
Solved = Sharp panels now work? (If so, where can I find that zImage?)
or
Solved = We know what the problem is so hang on?
Thanks in advance.

I have the international version, and my device doesn't wake up, touchscreen works, but not visual.

Thanks, will wait for a fixed zImage. That's the only problem I've been having, everything else is just perfect.
Just FYI, I own a US T-Mobile HD2, and the July 23rd zImage running the HTC Desire + Sense build works REALLY well for me. Apart from the massive battery drain, I've been able to do everything with it - it's my primary OS now.
Oh, and when the screen doesn't wake with the call button, I press 'Win' or 'Home', and that usually wakes it up for me. Otherwise I try again .

New update?

Yesterday a notification came up on my screen for a FOTA update. It didn't offer any detail and I haven't been able to find anything online about what is in the update or what it's supposed to fix.
I declined the update and it said it will reappear at the next scheduled update check - of course, it didn't tell me when that is.
When I go to the Settings menu and do a manual check for firmware and HTC updates, it says there are none.
If anyone can explain to me what's going on, I would really appreciate it.

Stock update 2.50.405.2

I just got an update from HTC to 2.50.495.2 and I would like to know if anyone else got this and what are their observations. It happened just 5 minutes ago or so.

I didn't get it but i heard that they fixed the WiFi-issue. The connectivety seems to be better now.

Yup, fixed some wifi issues (constantly dropping connection) for me.

Thanks for the info. I never had the WiFi issue so I guess the update is rather useless for me. Oh well.
Thanks again!

I've never experienced any wifi problems, but updated anyway. Now, the battery is draining pretty quickly compared to before the update Anyone else experiencing the same?

I'll be checking this for the next few days, but if anyone has any figures I'd appreciate the info.

I tried to do the update, but I think it failed, because my phone was completely resetted! Guess I'll try again...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

after update , htc location doesnt work for me anymore. i have to disable wifi and 3g to work again.

Sorry, but I cant provide a link as it was OTA. I noticed it yesterday on the phone and updated, although I dont know how long its been out. I did some quick research and there doesnt seem to be a lot of information about it except that some say they lost Arabic support.
My phone is, I think, a unit from France so I dont know if all regions have the update. Maybe the others who responded to this thread can shed some light to the updates availability.

My GPS is no different than before, just to let you know for comparison.

Thought my GPS was broken too but it just took a while to 'find' itself. Was hoping the update might have been a preparation for an unlocked bootloader (yes I know it has only been announced for 'current and future handsets'). But I still live in hope. Only had the update for a couple of hours so will need to monitor over a couple of days to assess the affect.

Update to correct SOD on thrive now available!

Just installed without a hitch. Hope this does the job! Look for it in Service Station in your apps.

I've had the update for a few days now and have not experienced a single failure to wake. As far as I'm concerned the problem is fixed. Toshiba has done a tremendous job of resolving problems quickly, posting updates and keeping its user infromed. Well done Toshiba!

Impossible as it was only released today. Maybe you are looking at the prior 2 updates available... !

Nope, tis for sleep of death.

Well, my ever-present SOD has disappeared since the update - so far. I don't know that I would go so far as to call it fixed if I were Toshiba, though. On both forums.toshiba.com and thriveforums.org, a number of people are reporting that the SOD persists in spite of the update. In addition to that, people who had no random reboots are now experiencing them. So maybe this is a partial fix, but it doesn't seem like it was just one issue causing all the problems.

If he has had the update for several days it's not the SOD fix update... So as I said before, impossible as it was only released today... Errr, now yesterday at this point... Less than 24 hours ago anyway...

Oh yea, I misread. If it was several days, then yes, it was the previous OTA, not for sleepies of dooooooom.

Actually...
...he's right that he's had it for a few days, and you're right that it was only released yesterday.
Toshiba did a test run of the update with a handful of users who first reported the issue over on their support forums. They wanted to run it through the paces with regular users before sending it out to the masses. That's the update he's referring to, not any older ones.
Toshiba asked that the testing be kept quiet. So, it's not surprising that most people would be confused about it.

Is there some form of manual install for said update? Here in Canada there's no updates listed in Service Center so I'm stuck with a semi-bricked device that needs to be rebooted any time I need to use it.
Seriously though, how does a company release a tablet with a bug like THIS!?

Hopefully people can report receiving the update and any experiences. I just checked and it hasn't arrived in NC yet. Always good to get security updates even if they are not the latest (are they ever with VZN?).

Sure, I guess I misinterpreted the title of the thread 'New Update coming tomorrow 6th may' to mean it was to show up on 6-May. Still, no harm in checking and looking forward to hearing the experiences of users.

According to Android Police: "Verizon Is Rolling Out An OTA To The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Tomorrow, May 6".
This was posted on May 5.
So, unless my calendar is wrong, the update should be coming today.

Has anyone received the update? I tried and it says the phone is up to date, but still has the Feb security.

I just got it at 10:33am MDT (Utah). I'll report back tomorrow around the same time if I can.
I had HORRIBLE battery life with Wifi turned on (<10h total with maybe 2h screen on time), but I pay for 18GB plan so there wasn't really a need for wifi anyway and that helped my battery life tremendously.
I'll turn wifi on and report back tomorrow.

Have you tried Smart WiFi Toggler? It learns where and when you want to connect.
The update just became available in the KC market. Any reason not to take it?

Count me as surprised and wrong in my assumptions. Security patch level is 1-May. You read that right. I had to check twice to trust my eyes.

So was I. I was expecting March at the latest. Working nicely so far. It'll take me a full cycle to see how battery is behaving, but everything seems good so far.

Yes, can't assess anything on the battery life yet.
The one odd thing I experienced was it copied the calendar icon from My Knox home screen to my normal home screen (left the one in My Knox fine). No idea what that was about but my deleting it might come back to bite me later - will report if it does.

Feels the same after update so far. What the heck is DT ignite? Safe to disable?

Yay! May security update

lol still doesn't fix what the tmo update fixed, with fixing the choppy video recording and fixing the android system battery drain? still doesn't fix the ****ty front facing camera focus issue and overblurring effect? no thanks.

Does it fix Android system drain? Or false reporting? I'm getting gold battery life but still adroid always says it's draining

took this update like a fool and wish i didnt!
now the verizon variant has the same damn problem with nova launcher double tap to sleep that every other variant has.
when you use double tap to sleep gesture, and wake it up, it won't let you unlock with your fingerprint anymore. it makes you use the damn pin or pattern too.
god i can't stand verizon and their **** updates
