Maybe HTC are doing updates in batchs...Serial number or someother way to stop everyone updating at same time and crashing server..

and if you have branded phone doesnt the software have togo to the network carrier first and they do there bit and if the network decided it worth releasing then send it back to HTC for release..so that might even be longer

My Hero was a lock network phone and it never got a update to the lastest firmware i had to unbranded and then do update myself.

im in uk with what i think is an unbranded xe supplied by orange (it has no logos or orange software on it anywhere)

I get nothing when i try the ota update however my phone is rooted but running the standard xe software now as i couldnt find any of the custom roms that were not bug free enough for me to stick with them.

Is this the reason why i dont get the ota notification? Do i need to put my device back to being completly stock ie no root etc?

can this update not be done by connecting to htc sync?

thanks

At least with this update you can still s-off (sort of)... unlike the wildfire 2.2 update

jamiee6610 · Mar 10, 2012

I thought the xe was gonna get sense 4.0. Wondering if the xl would get since comes with sense 3.6 already. Anyway. I doubt it.

My update came through on Thursday afternoon, and whilst I am using an Anker battery, the battery life has improved dramatically for me since the update. 16 hours of usage today away from the charger, and it only dropped to 49%. Usually by that point it was complaining of low battery all the time. Big improvement.

Still waiting! Anyone else using xe on orange that's got it?

Got bored of waiting for mine on an unbranded xe on Orange so did the S-off thing and installed it myself

Timmey92 · Mar 11, 2012

What does S-OFF do? WIll you loose warranty? Can you turn it back to S-ON later?
When flashing the OTA manually, can you still receive new OTA updates?

marmin · Mar 11, 2012

I'm not really an expert, but have rooted desire etc. S-off is very simple if you do the unrevoked method (the only thing missing from their instructions is to change from Disk drive/charging to HTC sync on the phone). Its not as scary as rooting. Would imagine its reverible but in my experience they never check for that in warranty, they would just revert to factory. Again not sure about the future OTA updates, but lets face it if its this easy to flash a STOCK OTA manually, would you ever wait again?

stewalker · Mar 13, 2012

Got sick of waiting for fota so I flashed. I have to say though it is much better than 2.3. Feels like a new phone. Really really smooth. Some nice little additions so sense aswell.

I mailed HTC after getting fed up of constantly pressing that 'check now' button

"I cannot give you an exact date you will get the update as the server will send the update to 30.000 devices at a time, then move to the next batch. It is impossible to say when you will get the update. The update is currently being sent to all unbranded models of this device if you have a branded handset this will take some time more to come through to you.

The roll out process takes 6-8 weeks. You could receive the update anywhere in this time, providing you are unbranded."

Let's just hope were in the next batch
