1.85 OTA rolling out now

I am having problems with getting the update to install. In the notification area, it says "System Update Download Complete." When I press that, it says "Download Successful" and shows 100% 64.55MB / 64.55MB. Then I press OK but nothing happens. I tried restarting the phone, but that did not help. Also tried deleting the file (in the Downloads folder), and now even pressing "Check for Update" does nothing.
 
Please help Re: 1.85 OTA rolling out now

Hi All,
I need help. I got a message to update. Tried it but something went wrong. Nothing downloaded but now when I reboot it get an error message about HTCdm stopped working, When I click on check updates nothing happens. Please advise.
Thanks!
 
10 minutes is not that long as long as the progress indications show that it is working. 30 minutes with nothing but a swirly means your download was corrupt and you have to delete it with a file manager and redownload.

my HOX was processing the swirly for over 30 minutes. no progress bar, restarts, or anything to indicate it was processing the update
 
i checked and it said my software was up to date.. ill try and change the date and do it again
 
Check Downloads app, and you will find System Update 64.59MB. Not sure what to do with It!
If selected, it displays a bunch of files.

Yep, same here. Tried a couple reboots to see if it would force an update but nothing. The check for updates button no longer does anything...

EDIT: Deleted the download, set the date forward, checked for updates again and now it is doing the update....

I get the same error message. Does anyone have an idea what the issue is?
 
I ended up deleting the download after it was verifying for an hour. Set the date ahead and checked again. Updated successfully the 2ND time.

Well since it breaks root anyway, it looks like I will be holding off on this. Besides I haven't had too many wifi issues.
 
resetting time forward doesnt work. it just resets after a few seconds and i have auto turned off

why cant we just download it somepalce
 
Why are people using quadrant to verify the speed? I thought quadrant scores were utterly useless as they don't indicate the true real life usage of the device?
 
I just finished updating to 1.85, and here are the things that I have noticed so far:

-multitasking seems to be better. I am now able to switch between 3 apps without the refresh problem. However, having more than 3 apps running still has the refresh issue.

-snappier operation on menus, and faster app load times.

-battery life seems to be the same. Although I have only been on this for a couple of hours so things might change.

-quadrant score DECREASED from 4900-5100 to 4300-4500. I have already called HTC about the issue, and they said that they have no explanation for said slowdown. Note: Quadrants scores doesn't necessarily reflect real time performance, but the numbers speak for themselves.

UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK..

Background info pre-update: My phone was running on stock 1.73, and wasn't tampered in any way. Phone ran smooth, and benchmark scores back this up. The battery life was decent to bad with 3-5 hrs screen on time average with moderate use.
 
This sucks.. I downloaded the updated (after updating the date in my phone) it got stuck checking the files so I deleted it and restarted my phone and now I the check for updates button doesn't do anything. Anyone has any advise?
 
Pardon me, but as someone contemplating getting a HOX, this sounds like a bit of a nightmare..

This coupled with Apple's new shot over the bow, lack of availability and other issues make me think twice about HTC's devices..

Oh well.. that's the way the Apple bites! LOL
 
I've got the update downloaded but it hasn't installed yet. I had to manually set the date for the 8th
