OTA Downloading now!

[firepsych]

Are all you people running the un-adulterated Verizon software and unrooted? If different what would it do to a rooted device running a rooted/deodexed version of the 2.11.605.9?

One thing the upgrade did was messed up my defaults. It made Sense the default launcher which was no real biggie, wiped the default out and it allowed me to reselect GoLauncher. But the real pain now is it reset the default browser and I can't get that to unset. I can choose another browser but I can't set it to ask me every time any more. I have Dolphin for sites that use Flash and Firefox for most everything else and I liked choosing each time.

Not super critical, but dumb.

I have found no real differences either so far except where I used to be able to select an alternate browser for a shortcut it now goes to the delivered browser. I do find this browser seems to be much faster than it used to be, though I havent really used it in a long time. Anyone else?

I forgot about this that I had posted in the "New updates, not ICS" thread. There are new settings called "App associations" under Menu, Settings, Applications. It allows you to change what application to use for certain functions:

(I'm guessing the number of entries for each may vary depending on what apps you have installed)
Phone Number (Dialer): one entry - Phone
Email address: two entries - Gmail and Mail
Physical address: two entries - Maps and VZ Navigator
Web URLS: one entry - Internet
Map address: four entries - Footprints, Internet, Maps, VZ Navigator
Streaming link: one entry - Streaming Media Player
Online audio download by webview: two entries - Streaming Media Player and TuneWiki
Online video download by webview: one entry - Streaming Media Player

Many thanks, you are correct! Its off the Applications menu.

Have my update here too. Minimal differences here too, but I do see that the stock browser is faster. Could be due to a cleaned-up cache or something, we'll have to see how that stands after a few days.

I too see the new menu item under "applications". Bummed to see web urls were set by default back to the stock browser - reverted that back to Dolphin myself.

Now I'll just pray that this fixes the issue I had with my router dropping the phone in Wifi mode ...

Right. Changed that to Firefox, but there's no way to clear the association. If I go to apps and remove the default, it goes back to the android browser. I like to pick a browser each time.

Minor problem, but it's an odd bug.

Running the new update.. any rumor of better battery life?

Just had my first forced reboot. First time it's happened in the 6 months I've had the phone.
Coincidence? I think not.

I'm going with a conspiracy between Big Red and HTC to convince us to upgrade to new phones.

Was on road last night. Took out phone, found update started on its own. Never finished properly. All I get is update failed msg. Tried battery and sim pull. Still fails. I have a feeling software was never actually downloaded. as software update msg sez 0kb, ok defer, reject. I have tried all 3, hoping to get it to download again, to no avail.

It seems to have helped the hotspot disconnect issue. I can surf for about 15 min without getting dropped. This is an improvment believe it or not. Mine always used to drop out after 5 minutes or so. I will be testing it further today.

This was never an issue for some people. It seems like 50% of the handsets had faulty hotspots.

I've been running this software build since flashing the full RUU April 20 and have not noticed any difference in battery life.

If that were the case, it would be happening to most of us. I haven't experienced a random reboot since last summer on the old MR1 software. First thing I'd try is a power off, battery and SIM pull for five minutes. If it continues after that, try a master (factory) reset to get back to a clean state.

You could try clearing data in the Download Manager app per this thread:

My theory is much more fun and interesting than your solution.

Nevermind answer my own question...

LOL Sorry, I've been known to be a stick in the mud. Too much like Spock in that logic rules my thoughts and emotions are highly suppressed... :-[

*EDIT; fixed.*


wow, this thing will not let me use dolphin as the default browser anymore! I've cleared the default and set dolphin as the default and still it only opens the stock browser and never even asks which browser I want to use! anyone else find a fix to this?

 

[Dirty Crow]

oh one side note, I do agree, the hotspot does drop a lot less now.

Was hoping it would have my phone charge fully to 100%. So where do I go from here? I can only charge to 86-88% that's about 3800-4000mv. My battery use shortcut. Never reset I charge everyday. It is showing over 6days in use and we all know Thunderbolt can't last that long on a single charge. Not even razr maxx. Can I get some help/ recommendations? Please...
