Anil Sreedhar

am frm kerala nice to meet u..good to see u over here and sure we can go for an indian thread...u start it and i can support...

Hey sreedhar...wer are u based out of...this is ashwin from bangalore...thought of making and indian thread for HTC desire and probably share updates and interests..wat say!!!

i checked for it manually....saw the update is available message...opted the option yes and then it automatically downloaded the 90 mb setup and installed...everything was auto...

anil, thanks for your time and effort
one last question - did you get the update automatically or had to install it manually ?

shailesh

htc desire are there are of two types one is sim free that mean any sim can be put into it.. those desires are coming directly frm the HTC company. The other type is frm HTC, companies like vodafone t mobile and all will be getting the Desire and then customizing it according to their needs...

In ur case verify with the buyer whether its a sim free phone they gave u or they unlocked a phone and gave u....

regarding the update i have no clue whats happenign may be it wil take some time since they r rolling it out...

static ip sry i cant help tehre not much idea regarding it....

i do not understand 'sim free' - when i got the handset; i took out the sim card from my Nokia 5310 and installed it in the Desire - does it mean that my handset is 'sim free'?

i have tried checking for updates manually many times, but every time i get the message ' Your Phone is up to date - There are no updates available for your phone'

the software info of my phone is
Firmware Version 2.1 Update 1
Base Band - 32.36.00.28U_4.0.06.00.02_2
Kernel 2.6.29/b7e82785
HTC-Kernel @and18.2#1
Build No 1.19.707.7 CL171460 Release Keys
Software No 1.19.707.7


i have a wifi connection in my office as well as my home so that is no problem

also for wifi connection, if i opt for static ip address on my phone , it does not connect to my wifi router, but if i uncheck the static ip option, i am able to connect to my wifi router - any tips on this ?

thanks in advance

if ur handset is a sim free one then u wil be getting a notification else click on Menu button Settings -> About Phone .< system softwre updates and check for the update manually if there is any update available u can download the same..

i suggest u go to some wifi spot and download the same...there will be surely open wifi spots avaiable in mumbai...u just need to look for it...

anil, how do i get the update ? - i am in mumbai on vodafone networ - my handset is bought from dubai

yup i downloaded and updated already everything went smoothly... only issue is it took arnd 6 hrs for me to download it thru GPRS....

anil, have you got the OTA upgrade for Froyo yet?

then may be mine is just a one off case - thanks anil

no shailesh... its perfectly working for me....

Hi, Anil, do you have any issues with FM radio reception with your desire ?

shailesh

usually my battery wil be lasting for abt 15 hrs..(including call for arnd 1 hr, little bit browsing etc) if u r having a car then car charger wil come handy.. another issue u wil be facing is the plugpoint of the default charger.. u shud be buying a cnverter which costs arnd Rs25 or 50 max (which u wil be getting frm any electric shops)else u shud be charging it thru ur pc...

Thanks a lot for your help... i was really worried about the OTA updates ! I read somewhere on xda forums that i wont receive OTA updates in India... now I can take a sigh of relief. My desire will be arriving next week I am really exited now !
I'll try getting a case. How long does your battery last with average use without internet? And by mobile charger, do you mean a car charger?

Thanks Again for your Help
Cheers
Udit

Hi Udit,

Nice to meet u... Coming to ur question OTA update is available in India also. I bought it on April first week itself and since then I have received 2 updates which updated from here in India(State Kerala) Think Froyo also will be available over here...

Have a grt time with ur Desire... The only issue will be battery life.. try to get some mobile charger and also a good case from Europe...

Hey Anil,

I am from Delhi too and i am going to get an unlocked European HTC Desire too... i wanted to know whether i will get the OTA update for the firmware or Froyo in India?
Did you receive the OTA firmware update?
Thanking You
Udit
