What hardware version do you have?

 

[kenjancef]

What hardware version do you have?

0003, just checked... for some reason I've always had issues with OTA updates. I get them eventually, but not right away like most.

 

[Slow_S10]

Downloading the update now. I'm very excited about getting Swype since I missed the Beta by just a couple of days.

hardware version 0003 here, still running 3.29.651.5. HTC software update just sits and spins with no feedback. Server may be getting hammered + tiered rollout = sit and spin?

Version 0003. Manual update from .zip file failed. Guess I'm stuck waiting for the OTA to hit my phone. *sigh*

Leaked over at XDA Ota 3.70.651.1??? - xda-developers

I found the info yesterday and wanted clarification for myself. But your welcome Android Central! And thanks Phil for the link.

*And yes I did make the post on XDA*

I'm on hardware 002 ... Still no update, and it won't install manually. I am fail.

 

[jmyers1911]

How long til the OTA will hit our phones? Will it be today? Im trying to manually check it via HTC update and no updates found

 

[Kevin_G_Sanchez]

Hardware 002 and manual update didn't install for me.

Don't they know that out of everybody, YOU should be first in line for an update???????

D'OH!!

 

[tayl428]

hmmm, hardware 0003, but I'm still on 3.29.651.5... Just by the title of the file saying 3.30 - 3.70, I wonder if 3.29 will see it?

And more importantly, I wonder why I haven't auto updated from 3.29? I know the new camera board version came out, but???

 

[jmyers1911]

Sorry if Im naive but what is the difference with the hardware versions?

sounds like a bunch of crap to me. pass

I just hope this update fixes the lag when using 4G and optimizes the battery consumption of the 3G/4G radios a little so we get better battery life when trying to use 4G... Probably not but a geek can dream right?

I wonder what will this update break.

For those of you who have updated (sorry if someone asked already)... Can you uninstall the demo game or swype? Not a fan of swype. Hopefully we can choose between the HTC keyboard and Swype.

You can choose between the HTC keyboard and Swype. You just need to change the input method
