You forgot to delete your test for testing!

You can still get that error with everything fixed. This (should) just fixes the error coming when it shouldn't.

If you are in such a low service or no service area that your phone cannot send a text you will still get the error.
 
Yeah!!! I can finally sell this formally stupid phone without feeling guilty about selling someone a broken phone. Now I just need to get it back to stock....
 
How do I know if I had the update, I keep checking my phone but I don't see anything unless it updated itself. Right now I'm on HTC Sense version 3.6, would it be a higher version number if I got the update? People who got the version: What update number you have?
 
It wouldn't change the version of Sense and even when it's pushed to your phone you will have a dialog box that you need to click before downloading and installing.

My wife just got the update but i havent yet. Has anyone tried updating with a rooted device containing the stock rom with the superuser patch and not s-off. If not, do you all think it will work?

Check the thread on the update in the all things root forum.

I am still S-ON, with the only change to my system being HTC unlock and superuser.

Had to flash the two files in the update thread that the users pulled out of the patch using recovery, reboot into Android, reinstall recovery using fastboot, then use recovery to reinstall superuser.

Everything updated, still rooted with superuser. I don't so much texting but others can report on the usefulness of the update there. I jsut did it because the one time I needed to rely on my phone for extremely heavy use for work it was failing to send texts and kept going to a dead signal trying to call out.

havent been seein any complaints about the update, so im guessing so far so good for everyone that has recieved the update?

Just the fact its taking too long for everyone to get the update for a fix that actually makes your phone work. I received the update in the first rollout but my gf is yet to receive hers. I kinda wish she would have received the update first since her work is oncall. She misses a call and gets passed up for work, and received several complaints already.

Something I noticed about the update is a "please wait" a second or 2 longer when sending texts
 
This has solved the majority of my issues; guess we'll see after a couple days.

Live in a basement apartment; other VM phones have gotten good reception until now. Constantly going to 1-0 bars, switching to 1X, etc.

Now I'm seeing 3 bars, 3G. Can actually run a speedtest now (before was getting network error).

Saw it switch to 1X once; might just be something I have to live with. But definitely improved.

Wish I had never gotten this phone, to be honest.

If that was me, the first time my carrier caused me to miss something for work I'd switch carriers... Why even mess with it at this point?
 
Aside from two small files (one is a theme file, the other a driver file that probably buffers the signal fluctuations), the update is exactly the same thing we have been doing for months in the "fix everything thread".

It's safe.
 
after the update the only change i saw was HTC sense was the default launcher and i had to clear defaults to get my 3rd launcher loading.

Well that's just visually, has your texts been going through, has your radio baseband been updated?

Did you give them your address, so they would know where to send the check?

;)
 
How exactly would a non-rooted, stock user install that firmware file manually, and is there any software version check that should be made in advance to be sure that it's okay to apply?
 
Has anyone not received OTA yet? I reverted mine to stock (using RUU), and now have a re-locked hboot and all the stock jazz - but still have not received OTA. (Have checked via the htc update, but nothing yet ~ been 2 days since i went back to stock)

Thoughts? Help anyone?

I haven't received the update either...this is taking entirely too long or something's not right.

You can't install it manually if you're s-on, you have to go into settings, system updates, HTC Software Updates. If you don't receive the file within 2 or so days I would contact Vmucare.
 
Contacted Virgin about not having received the update to 1.14...they told me to contact HTC. I may do that if it doesn't come down in a couple days.

They're blowing smoke up your *ss, HTC has nothing to do with how the carrier pushes out the ota, they just wrote the damn thing. Virgin is actually trying to infer that htc has access to their servers and towers?
