"NEW SMS function update" 07/05/10 on UK-site! - HD2 General

Hi guys has anyone tried that update/hotfix? http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812
Is this actually a hotfix or is it again some Radio or sth. like that? I don't trust HTC's descriptions anymore...
Can't load it atm. BTW it is called "LEO_S00276-02.exe".
Cheers
EDIT: Can only load it from US-server, don't have any clue why...
EDIT2: it's around 15MB, so it should be for me again a radio... my mobile connection is awful, so I need still some time to load it...
EDIT3: it's not a RADIO...

It was released 5 months ago, you can be sure that people here have tried it
I have no idea what it did when I ran it. Honestly, no idea, nothing changed
There are already threads with this discussed.
My advice is to remove the HTC messaging app completely.

nope... 5 july... anyone rembers the filename of the previous sms hotfix?

Just Dloaded same update on Philippines site. Installed it and also not sure what it updated. Hope it fixed the lag issue and the message highlighting that is very annoying.

That is a new file name. I do not recognise it. I have the released HTC Messaging 1.8 from this forum, and eventhough the MMS doesnt work properly I dont fancy deploying a new and official update LOL.
EDIT: This update is for the HD Mini, not the HD2!

See the old SMS update a few posts above yours. This has a different filename so I think it is new.

I mean... when I try to install it says NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE

installed but dunno what iy has done
i downloaded it and not sure what it has done apart from take up 15mb of my phone storage, the lag is still the and the silly high light thing is still there, come on htc sort it out the only prob with our top end phone is the txting

HTC seem to be chaning a lot of dates on already submitted hotfxes lately it seems...

Well, but it should be new. I unpacked the EXE with WinRAR and there are lots of files edited within June, the latest edit was on June 26th. And the XML within clearly sais that there are lots of files replaced containing HTC messaging.

I only have 8Mb of internal storage left so I guess this update isn't for me, whether or not it's actually for the HD2 or not. It's strange, but I have the same applications installed on my iPAQ 214 and have many time as much on-board storage left. I suppose I'll have to wait for the next ROM update (laughs maniacally.)
Whatever, this is probably just another one of HTC's one day wonders. There have been other updates that have disappeared within a few days of appearing.

Oh! I thought you meant MY device, not yours.

Hi,
I have the same update appearing under the French HD2 support page. The file is named _HTC HD2_LEO_S00276-02 and has a digital signature from June 25th.
Anyway, if it doesn't help with the lag, installing it would be useless.
Edit : There you go, it disappeared.

New 67.5 MB update from HTC

I just discovered a new update for the Shift - this time in the telephone software section.
My download using GMS will take about six hours...
Any experiences with this update???
Axel
Where?
Where can you see that update? In HTC official web-page I haven't found anything like that...
Hi,
you can find it in HTC Club. To go there you have to register first. I've just read it and I do not really understand it. It sounds to me as if they talked about a different device. And I think my ROM to be newer than the one they offer there. But as I said it does not make sense to me.
It is so strange. They talk of start and settings and usb connection and so on, but that is not supposed to work unless it was liberated. So that's why I do not understand what they are talking about. Can anyone clarify?
S.
I have nothing in "Phone software updates"
or should I look elsewhere?!

The file I'm loading is named TM2008_GER.exe
Maybe they do it "a language a day, to keep customers away"

Hi,
you find it in HTC Clulb. Go to "My Downloads" and then "Phone Software Update". And there you see the a picture of the Shift.
I don't want to install it, because the instruction says that everything is lost and I am under the impression that the software is older than the one on my Shift.

Hi Einsiedler,
do you really want to install the download? Isn't the ROM in your Shift newer than the one you are downloading? I compared the screenshot on the page with the information I found in Snapvue. Cannot find the "device information" when I go over "start" and "settings". Isn't all very strange as this possibility isn't supposed to work? I do not get it.
S.
I'll download it (still three hours left) and check this page again tomorrow morning.
Resetting the WM side would at least give me another 14 days playing with the Palm emulator...

Can you download it and then upload it ?
No need to install it, but we could take a look at the file and see what it is exactly. It seems that only germans can see it (why?) so we need one of you to download it and upload somewhere
thank you !

Very strange update indeed. It seems that it is for the German version Shift only and furthermore for older ROM-Versions. The ROM-Version to compare in a picture shown is dated 05/10/07 (Number 1.06.405.1 WWE). My Shift is one of the first delivered in Germany and its ROM-Version is 1.30.407.0 GER) - so it seems to be way younger then the one in the illustration.
Before downloading the 67,5 MB-file you have to confirm a serious warning that any program or data stored by you will be lost after installing the update. If you confirm - did it on my notebook, not on the Shift! - you get the message: "This will install TM2008_GER Version 16.00.1449 on your computer."
"TM" apparently means "Trend Micro" because the file creates the folder "Trend Micro" and expands itself therein to the folder "setup". So IMO it's only an update of the internet security software. By the way: I run "Trend Micro" and my version number is 16.10.1106 - way younger than the download version as well.
So what? Another example of the strange behaviour of a strange company. That's all.

PS: I was unable to upload the file ("Database error").

I'm not german so dont have the file in htcclub
but if you are sure it is TM then lol.
you can still upload it to rapidshare.com, i'd like to see it.
(the xda-devs attachments can't be larger than 8MB, that's why your upload failed)
For the Phone software update, if you've register a htc smartphone or wm phone, the update is for those phones.
If you registered shift only, there's no update software inside the PSU !
here you find the screenshot from the htc webste (htc e-club):
http://rapidshare.com/files/112150020/htc.jpg.html
here you can download the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/112149681/TM2008_GER.exe.html
yeah that screenshot explains, it is a generic page that the phone update software link will show you if there is an update.
but I guess they intended this trendmicro thing for the other downloads section, they just made an error and uploaded it to phone update section.
in my country they'd call this thread "storm in a glass of water"
i agree.....
Hi,
so things seem to have become much clearer and I do not have to upload the file anymore. Seems that some of you folks do not need any sleep.
I do not know too much about all these things, but apparently I was right that it was a very strange update, as it isn't an update at all or a falsely declared one.
In the tread "HTC sucks" someone made the suggestion to start a blog in which to make public the ridiculous support of HTC. As I said I do not know enough about the way to do these things, but done it should be. HTC really, really sucks when it comes to support. I have sent them several emails. Nothing but a standardized answer that they will answer in some cosmic future.
S.
This update has Nothing to do with WM rom!
The setup file unpacks to ...program files/trend micro/... and so I aborted the installation. No bad results, but waste of time.
Have a nice and sunny weekend.

VsNotepad - Virtual Spaghetti

Anyone managed to get VsNotepad 2.5 to work properly on Touch HD?
http://www.virtualspaghetti.com/index.php?index=30&language=en
When I run the demo on my TouchHD the stylus position and what I draw are not aligned? (Approx 1/4 of the screen width and height out)
Software does say its 480x800 compatible, even mentions the Touch HD. (I've run the setup and put the settings to forced, but I still get the aligment issue.) Reported it to the creators, but wondered if Im alone in this issue?

No, you are not alone. I have the exact same problem, even though their website says it works in WVGA mode, it doesn't. I've sent them two emails in the past week and so far, no response. Makes me wonder why I bother paying for software...

Where did you download it from? I can see it has been updated to 2.51, but when downloaded it appears as version 2.5 with the same symptom on my device!
I will check whether there are traces from previous install in the registry.

I have downloaded the 'official' version from their website and it does not work. It appears to be the exact same file I already have (it's the same size). It appears that they may not have updated their web links or have linked the file incorrectly. I have sent them an email.
they linked it wrongly.

Happy it works now....however, I want a WVGA version now!!!!
One step at a time I guess!!
Has someone else noticed a dramaticly system slowdown after starting VsNotepad? Ending the program doesn´t solve the problem, only softreset does. You can notice the slowdown in TF3D or better in coreplay, which even stopps working.
If you have the same problem, is there a really gote alternative for VsNotepad?
Just to notice:
Softreset isn´t demanded if you close the app. in the app and not via taskmanager. That way I can live with the slowdown when the app is running.

New SMS hotfix

It allows you to reach out to your friends a family.

That's not very helpful is it Noam23. You forgot to mention that keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers just that: fast and reliable SMS messaging.
I downloaded the hotfix too and found out that when press 'send' your message blinks to show that it was successfully sent. Previously, my message resides in either 'out' or draft and there was no indication that the operation is successful.
I'm using V6 Test 1 Brians Taskbar and it seems that since the sms hotfix, my "new message" notification icon has reverted back to the default icon. All the other icons are as they should be. Anyone else noticed this? I did reinstall the taskbar at some point though, so for all i know it could have been this way since then. Perhaps needs another reinstall.

From HTC support website,
*Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.49.XXX.X, or lower. *
I don't think the sms hot fix is meant for ROM1.61. Should be integrated within 1.61.

New sms update htc

Morning all,
Just wanted to point out that today 14-01-10 there has been a new HTC SMS FIX rolled out from the website and its done the trick for me, sending/reci seems to be much better, loading of SMS threading now works still a bit slow but allows you to type a msg while it loads. I also had an issue where 'tap to start message' would not work on some contacts and this is fixed as well.
URL (Will not let me due to restrictions but the update is on the HTC site.)
Please let me know how you get on with this fix, *touch wood* one step closer to this phone being how it should have been out the box
Thanks,
Charles.
i havent seen any new updates in HTC europe..
Got it! Thanks for the heads up!
It's not on UK yet, but will keep checking! Thanks for the heads-up
Just installed. hopefully it will sort the problem
I can't find it. It should be for all countrys?
i saw the update on the south east asia site. perhaps those who cant find the update can download from there ? btw, do we needa uninstall the old htc sms patch ? weird.. i tried to install the hotfix, it says the hotfix is not compatible with ur device ! omgg

by the way, those who have successfully installed the patch , do u guys have netcf 3.5 on ur phones ? jus wanna try locate whats causing the error . thanks !
Does anyone know if it corrects the problem when you press the 12# key the cursor jumps to the middle of the message?
Installed it, works fine. I never had the sms bug but this fix does seem to speed things up quite a bit. I did not uninstall the last hotfix, just installed it and done.
I do have the 3.5 framework installed

True, its not in the list.. quite weird
The update installed fine for me (CF 3.5 and previous hotfix installed).
It seems to have caused "- GSM" to be appended to the end of every text that already existed on my phone (both sent and received), but not to any texts sent/received since applying the update (almost like they accidentally left some debug information in the fix, as with some of my longer texts it is appearing on top of the date/time). Anyone else see this?

[Q] Random Keyboard problem: physical or touch?

While I'm typing a text or email, my LG Quantum will randomly exit the text field.
For example, if I'm typing on my physical keyboard, the bar with the paste icon disappears as if I hit "BACK" when I really didn't.
Is this a hardware issue? Has anyone had a similar problem?

Update? For the Quantum? I have the most current version...
I see you're on ATT. As far as I've heard, they have not released the latest update for windows phones. Chances are pretty good that you don't have the latest update unless you used a work around.
Latest version of wp7 is 7.1.8107.79 which applies the missing keyboard fix.
My guess is you're still two updates behind and have 7.1.7720.69
You can thank ATT for that.
If you do have 8107 then your problem beats the hell outta me.

I took my Quantum out of its box for the first time in months yesterday, turned it on, and immediately got the notice for an update. Went through the 7740 update, and the 8107 popped up right away and started installing. So AT&T has it out, but I'm not sure when it shipped.
