HTC Software update available incl. Menu button fix

[brokenchode]

I used the HTCdev unlock, so the official way... then did a fastboot to twrp and installed SU... nothing past that.

So I assume if I do the OTA it might fail because I am rooted, no biggie, can uninstall that.. but other than that, it shouldn't blow up the phone?

Pulled this from xda...

if you DO have a custom recovery: (i flashed stock recovery, then rebooted phone, ota root keeper used, accepted ota update-installed fine, used ota root keeper to restore root-worked fine, then using goo manager reinstalled open recovery-script to get my recovery back)

If you DO NOT have custom recovery, installed root keeper to backup root, did OTA update, ran root keeper restore after to reinstall root

good to go.

Not sure IF this was mentioned or if it's SwiftKey3 not the update

But now when you compose a text in the menu there's a font size choices and it stays that size

Thank you zmann I just got mine yesterday and did one update didn't resize I had to update a second time then it was where you said

 

[errbin]

In the settings /display, gestures there's now a font size to change every font on your phone

Changes the size of the time on top too
Its automatically set to medium that's why some have notice your contact info on phone calls looks bigger

Also a further thing that seems to have been fixed is that annoying font increase/decrease in the stock texting app. For me it was doing it on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times a day, with no clear cut explanation, so no real way to test it besides giving it time. Has not done it once since the update. Here's hoping...

You know that you can pinch in and out to change sms font size, right? I actually just realized that the other day.

Can anyone tell me what the new kernel version number is? Also what was the previous version?

 

[Tim98TA]

Yeah, none of my custom ringtones work any more. It defaults to my default ringtone. They are all still listed under each contacts name but they don't work.
Anybody else having this issue now?

Have you tried assigning the contact the default ringtone and then re-assigning the custom one?

Download quick shortcuts and you will be able to find all the HTC hidden apps and download them and get the icons.

I have found several other minor bugs.

1) The People widget hangs up when tapping on a person.
2) The Gmail app hangs up when trying to enter a name in the To field. Usually once you enter several letters, you get a list, but it seems to take forever for that list to pop up.

I love this update I only had 1 problem when I stay in the browsers for like 45 minutes then when I was finished I press home and sense started reloading but it was only for 5 seconds so I still think the update is 95% perfect.

My browser keeps freezing after using it for a few minutes.

Pasting text in an email is acting kinda wonky since the update. It wants to latch it to prior text every time I try to paste text to the end of something I'm writing. It used to be more accurate.

I've noticed the same thing. Every time I paste, it attaches to the last character of the previous sentence.

Love the battery life!
