System Upgrade 1.47.651..1 (21.43 MB) Now Available

LOL...Okay, so I made the same mistake as others have. I did the initial update and the phone cycled through the different resets until it finally booted up.

Once it booted up, I went to check for any additional HTC software updates and it gave me the notification that the system had an update available. My thinking was that, maybe the initial install didn't take, so I initialized the install again.

So, after 20 minutes, my phone was still sitting there with a black screen. Went to power it up...no response. After seeing other people's experiences, I figured I'd just call tech support to see if they had a fix.

I guess I have to take it in now...LOL. Already set my appointment for 1:15 pm, so hopefully they can hard reset the phone from there. Phone tech seemed to think it'll be no problem for the store to boot the phone up again, so hopefully that'll be an easy fix. Just checking Appbrain to make sure that I saved all of the apps I had on the phone.

BTW, for those of you that haven't yet, I highly recommend downloading the Appbrain App on your phone. It made loading up all the apps I had on the phone (before hard reset) SO much easier because I didn't need to search in the Market.
 
Just curious did you guys that got your phones bricked, did you wait for the notice to update appear on your phone or did you manually down load it??

I'm rooted and the update was available to me so I don't think this is true.
 
Installing HTC update here in Chicago. So far so good with the intallation I dont see any problems. I just left the phone do its own thing update. Hopefully this udpdate fixes some issues with my battery.
 
i hope i am not chiming in too early and jinx'ing it but there appears to be a HUGE difference in battery life for me. Usually my phone would have died by now at work and I am still at 67% It has been unplugged now for 4 hours. Thats still pretty bad as far as smartphones go but its a huge improvement from what I was getting.

Still noticed my message scrollback is still snapping back to the most recent message. Was hoping that would get fixed.

Manually went in to check for it. First time, it cycled and said everything was up to date and installed. Went into check for updates again, just to be sure that everything installed fine and it said that the update was available still, but my battery was too low.

Went to charge to 50% and then went to re-install update. Let the phone do its thing, it cycled about 2 times...but then after it went black, it stayed there for about 20 minutes without any response. Went to press the power button...nothing. Then took the battery out, put back in after a minute...nothing.

Phone tech support already said it was a known issue, so I guess they said the corporate service store can go in and re-boot the phone (don't know how exactly, but supposedly can do it). If not, I just replaced this phone at Best Buy last week, so I'm stil within my new 30 day return policy.

Oh well, just irritated that this will take up my time, but no biggie as long as it either gets fixed or they replaced my phone.
 
Just finished the update. Downloaded in a minute on 4G and only took a couple minutes to finish installing.

So far I've only had to remove/replace my voicemail app and revisit gtalk to sign out and turn off automatic sign in (it hasn't come back). Everything else so far works as well as it did before. I have not had a chance to test any wifi performance improvements. One thing I wish they would fix is the slight lag in bringing up a contact's details after selecting him or her (unless that's just a problem with my phone...)

edit: As a side note, last week I noticed my "manage applications" was slow. Powering off/on didn't help so I did a battery pull, waited 30 seconds, turned it back on, and since then the list pops up fast. Update didn't make that any faster, for me at least.

The issue is alread in phone tech supports system, so they're just recommending customers go into the store to the phone re-booted (dunno how they do it if there's no power response).

I already made my appointment.
 
Did my update, thankfully it went flawlessly over Wifi. Anyone else using Jorte having trouble with the widgets showing up?

After updating to the new software I'm getting a "error code 67 .registration failure. your PCS vision username and/or password may be incorrect" message on the phone. It's interupting a lot of things, whenever I open apps (it seems random ) it closes them. I've tried updating prl etc multiple times, and every time it says it has updated changes or whatever but it still happens after. Any idea?

Have you tried rebooting the phone? (I got that error once after messing with my settings... rebooting resolved it.)

Yes it can be fixed at the store, takes about an hour.. I have seen this happen a few years back when people were updating the phones before the notification arrived I forgot what the issue was and why the phones got bricked..
 
Hmm...

the flash on my camera is no longer working. It says my battery is too low, i have an incoming call, etc... none of which are true (62% battery right now).
