Yup... got it a few days ago. As with the last several security updates, my ringtones and notification tones were reset to the default values.

New HERO update released

Looks like it's something to do with Utube and client update (whatever that is).
http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx
NO...
there is info:
Update Information: Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) client update & YouTube player Update
Can someone who has this come up get a logcat of the url please.
Change the system date and the update notification will pop up.
Nothing changed besides the Youtube player (it is working now, geez it just took HTC 5 months to fix it)...and the settings menue look differently.

Moved my date forward to 16th June (Yesterday) then allowed the phone to re register on the network and it the update popped up. Didn't take long to download (it is only a minor update at the moment though) It took quite a while to install though (about 20 mins until it was fully settled).

Oh, right, it's because I have a HTC Hero Orange, but I've got my T-Mobile sim inside, I guess that would matter, silly question to ask, but need it answered.
Thanks

Android Lockscreen Fail Hack Exploit

Apparently you can crash the phone allowing full access once it recovers:

This is patched in this month's security updates that Google is pushing out.

Use BK Disabler and clear the data for Software Update. You should be able to check again. I believe you can only check once every 24 hours or so. Good Luck.
I just used Odin to go back to nougat and as soon as I could get to my settings I was able to get the OTA.

Easiest way to keep checking is to advance your phone's clock ahead one day then try again. Just remember to turn the auto clock detection setting back on.

What do I need to do to get the official update if I installed the zip?

Go in and change the date on your phone ahead one day or 2 and it should let you check for updates again.

Mine did that as well for months. My last update was when I bought the phone back in Nov. I did the update.zip method and used Smart Switch to backup all to MicroSD card.
Received this update today without needing to change the date. Running nicely so far, just wish the gif keyboard wasn't removed for us.

I have it on mine as you can see in this screenshot. When I heard the update was coming today, I factory reset before I took it. When it booted up, it updated during the setup process.
Edit: wait, are we talking about the same thing? Do you mean the feature where you can draw a gif message?

Not the live message, I have that. There is a gif option on the keyboard from other carriers. For some reason AT&T left it out.
In developers options there is the ability to change Bluetooth Audio Codec to SBC (default) to Aptx, Ldac, etc. If you change that it doesnt stick and it resets itself to SBC. Bummer.
Also the only option that does seem to seem concerning Bluetooth and Developers Options is Bluetooth AVRCP Version. AVRCP 1.4 is default but changing to AVRCP 1.6 seems to stick.
Meant to post this last night. Here's screenshots of my for full use of the OTA Oreo. I'm a teacher on spring break so I messed around with it a lot yesterday getting all my settings and apps set up.
So I decided to try the Samsung Experience 9. The badge number for Gmail isn't showing the proper numbers. Anything beyond one unread email shows some stupid huge numbers, such as 4 unread email, but the badge showed 169 ... LOL So, this is still buggy.

Yeah this is the only thing about the new update that is bugging me. The badge numbers can be way off. Other than that I am really enjoying the new update and my phone is so fast now.

Don't know what's worse... badges with wrong numbers or badges that don't come on at all. I get none at all. And I even factory reset before I took the update. I got no clue, even after spending tons of time digging through settings

Gmail lost dark mode after Feb android update

Humm, since last update, Gmail no longer offers dark mode.
Seems to be a bug, as many users are complaining about this.
Waiting for an update, soon.
https://9to5google.com/2020/02/03/gmail-dark-theme-missing/
Saw a fix that someone posted on Reddit and it worked for me.
If you have root go to /data/data/com.google.android.gm/shared_prefs/flagprefs.xml
From there edit the DarkThemeSupport flag to true.

Did you guys notice any other changes/features with the February security update?
Google call screening is gone too.

Thanks for responding. I'm on stock locked Verizon February update. Call screening worked in January but I don't think with locked BL I can go back. Wonder why they deleted it??
FYI, with the latest gmail version I still had to:
- force stop gmail
- clear cache
Dark mode is back

Dark mode never left for me in Feb patch. Im running stock rooted. I too have the now have the automatic call screening which I'm using. The one feature I was hoping to get but dont have from the pixel 4 is screen attention where the screen stays on if your looking at it.
The Feb patch seems to have stuck my phone in a boot loop.
EDIT: eventually my phone managed to boot again, and says that the update installation failed. I think I'll leave this update alone for now.

July Security Update

Just received and installed July Security Update (~30mb)
I received it too. Fortunately it flashed successfully, i don't feel any changes maybe a little smoother.
I receivet it to, Serbia, 30 mb. I think that there are no changes.
If it takes 2 more days to get it out, they could call it the August security patch...
V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM
settings suggestion bug still there, quick charging seems fixed

Definitely Xiaomi should not go ahead with Mi A4.
Only visible change was that the feedback app was redesigned
Who has this full zip file?
I have this irritating bug...why does it show none in ringtones
Please help
Recieved...no changes
i think they silently added also a play store security update to july 1st.
