Orange UK finally distributing NoDo update - 7 Mozart General

just got the update notification, flashing now.

already done it. works like a charm!

from which version did you update and did you noticed changes in camera?
i.e. Autofocus

I just purchased my mozart yesterday with the very first ROM on it. only thing I did was to connect it twice with zune and manually check for updates. firstly I got the feb update and then the no-do.. As for the camera, when I press the capture button I have a small rectangular box in the mid of the screen like zooming a bit and then take the photo.. I am not sure if this is what you mean as I hadn't test the camera prior the updates.. one thing I have to state though is that the loading time for marketplace, games and apps is lighting fast..and i mean it.. you can say that there is no loading an they start immediately! Hope that helps ;p

haven't noticed any camera differences
updated from stock rom....7008 was it? Sorry i'm new to Mozart (only got the handset this week) and had the February update waiting on the first time i used it. That's the version i updated from.

Camera shutter speed is definitely faster which should mean for better pictures especially in darker environments.
Overall am very pleased with the update as I love the OS but the bugs were incredibly frustrating, and whilst some remain the major ones for me (dns server errors, calls cutting out, phone switching itself off) seem much better.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App

personally finding copy&paste to be quite temperamental....only managed to get it working properly once and that was copying from the URL bar in explorer.
Dont understand the reason for international english users NOT having voice search in Bing. The video i saw of it working was from somebody who obviously had English as a 2nd or even 3rd language and it worked fine for him....are you saying that it couldn't pick up my british english but it worked for him?
system DOES seem faster and more responsive - not that i had any real problems with system speed as it was.
For thise interested :
OS version : 7.0.7390.0
Firmware : 2250.09.13001.061
Hardware : 0004
Radio s/w : 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader : 1.30.2250.1(117854)

I just realised that I can't use voice search option either! I have English (UK) in my settings and currently on O2 UK network (phone is branded to Orange though). Anyone knows why is this happening? and possibly how to fix it?! Thanks!

I think they are giving the update in small batches...
I have only got the feb update till now..
Hope it would come any day........

i read somewhere that they were only rolling the voice search feature out for 'American English' devices
I can understand why they might not roll it out for other languages, but why they wouldn't also roll it out for international-english i don't understand.
considering it works so well for this guy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR3NvksYMPk&feature=player_detailpage#t=61s
i think it could handle british english perfectly well.

thx, that should awnser my question... i wonder why...
sounds like you didnt get the updated camera software.
what bootloader are you on?
and what firmware ?
the new camera app is supposed to autofocus without pressing the camera button half way... you get very much only stabalizied pictures after that, videorecording also improoved very very much...
i really wonder why carriers would remove that.... its a shame

what are the squares poppin up in bing search.. i tried to get them (now lookign for voice too) but was not able.
i think the guy has htc europe rom installed, he said he debranded his orange
also the model id states: HTC 7 Mozart T8698
thats the model id for unbranded models....
i managed to get them squares by setting
Redion & Language
Regional Format: English USA
Browser Searchlanguage: English USA
still no voice commands...
switched primary language to English and phone set everything to English UK
still no voice search, but its allright, im on early tmo bootloader

i get the squares ... they're just hotspots on the image that pop up after a second or two with 'trivia' about the picture.
agree with what you're saying about his mozart being unbranded, i'm just curious as to why it would be in some builds and not others - or why it would be in some english-speaking locales and not others.
He's in the UK by the sound of it (his accent - although a bit broken - has a tinge of irish in it and his searches all base areound belfast) so you'd have thought that the UK english rom would be fine.

hm, the guy in the video has united kindom region
he uses exactly the same rom as yours
only his firmware is 401 which is htc europe
061 should be your orange then...
i had this rom installed once, but i think i never tryied other regions to see if it would enable voice search... dont want to reflash untill there is a nodo jailbreak

mine is indeed 061
hmmmm
also his OS version is 7.0.7389.0
mine is 7.0.7390.0
his bootloader : 1.30.22.50.1(117833)
my bootloader : 1.30.22.50.1(117854)
looks like mine is maybe a different build number too then?
Maybe they took this feature out ?
it would be a shame if there was no way to get this activated though

I got the NODO update a week or so ago cuz I used the turn off internet method. Still no auto Autofocus. A bit annoyed as I think the camera is the best I've used bar the Autofocus issue.
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2250.09.13001.061

Has anyone else with a Mozart on Orange receive the HTC update that some people are talking about, I for one haven't.

that's odd ... exatctly the same bootloader, firmware and OS as mine but i have the autofocus
do you have voice-search?
AFAIK the HTC updates don't apply for Mozarts (yet) and there's no firm confirmation for what exactly the updates are or what they fix.

No voice-search I am aware of. Pressing the Bing search button brings up the same old screen. I wonder if this is due to the fact that I "forced" the update. Might try and restore my phone to the Feb update and see if it will then pick up the Orange one.

htc titan euro voice dialer: worst ever

ok last week my voice dialer was fair, it worked for most of my contacts when i told my titan to call someone, but yesterday forget it, it was thanksgiving and i had to make a lot call and i told my phone "call joseph adams" and she would reply back in her english accent can't find name in contacts list and then i tried different ways of saying JOSEPH ADAMS, i said it in an english accent and then i tried other names and she couldn't understand i almost through my phone across the room, is there anyway to fix this?

you are not alone. we are all in the same boat. it's the bing voice recognition. not the phone.
I think it's a bug in the Titan.. The voice dialer should work much better than it does on the Titan.. I've seen a video where they test the Titan up against the HD7. The HD7 understood 10 out of 10, but the titan only got 3 out of 10 or something like that.. Another HTC issue with bad drivers for their devices.. :/

Where is the mic on our titan?
May be its too low for recognition? because it doesnt even dial wrong person. it just fails to understand! probably it cant hear us?

Don't think so.. The indicator on the screen indicates that it receives sound.. I think the mic is located where you normally speak, near the shell button.. But hey, what do I know, all i know is that the Titan performs horribly compared to HD7..
The problem is that we can only choose English as a display language, which is English UK effectively. And the UK accent recognition is horrible. My LG Optimus 7 was great in recognizing everything.
I guess we need to get an AT&T ROM that has English US on it... anyone?
Guys, it might be more complicated than what we think.
I downloaded an app called 'WhatIs' from marketplace. It's basically a SIRI that will only answer 'What is.... ?' questions.
I asked What is potato? and it recognised me in first go and described it too!
Also, it plays back what it heard. So it played me back my question and from that recording I can say the phone can definitely catch up on what we say. At least for this particular app.
It might be the inbuilt software is buggy on titan?
Yeah you're right! WhatIs actually performs very well on the Titan! Had no idea it would actually work.. Maybe it isn't the Titan, but a software bug that's causing the issue.. I only think it's strange because the HD7 performs perfect while the Titan don't work at all.. Also check out this video on youtube: HD7 vs. Titan..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8hRInVbDD0
Did you guys ignore what I said? lol
It's the British recognition on Bing. Other devices can be set to American, but the Titan can't. That's all there is to it.
Also, check the second last paragraph of this article: http://www.neowin.net/news/microsofts-tellme-not-the-same-as-siri-as-video-explains
"It appears that, for the moment, voice recognition for Australian English needs work on Windows Phone, and that more commands should be recognized other than quickly falling back to searching for an unrecognized phrase on the Internet. Hopefully other English accents (or other languages) fare better than this!"
Even the Australian Bing has problems.
That's why we need to port an AT&T rom to the European Titan

Display Problem

Hey guys,
I've received a Lumia 800 a few days ago and noticed something odd about the display. Sometimes the whole content of the display is moved to the left, and the part that is now out of view is then located on the right side of the screen. I could not reproduce this problem. Since the phone is working perfectly great I don't really want to send it in for a problem that might be caused by software issues... Should I be worried about this problem?
To make it more clear, here is a quick mockup of this error:
Regards Chris
I've noticed this twice so far, it happens as fast as a blink, when the whole interface shifts then moves back to normal almost instantly. I'd expect it to be fixed in a software update.
Thanks for your answer. I was really surprised when this first happened. But since I'm not the only one with this problem I'll wait for an software update.
Have seen that too. I think this can be fixed with a FW update. How can we report that problem to Nokia?

@ChrisK91 Hi, if restoring factory settings doesn't help, you can take the phone to local Nokia Care point or see if Sw update fixes it. ^JA

I have also noticed the same thing, although it stays like that for less than a second. Hopefully a software update will fix it.
I won't take my phone to a service point anytime soon, since this is a very rare occuring problem. But I think I'm on the newest firmare/software:
OS-Version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware-Rev.: 1600.2479.7740.11451
Hardware-Rev.: 112.1402.2.3
Bootloader: 7.35.0.0
Chip-SOC-Version: 0.74.2.1
Same problem here, event on the start logo NOKIA.
I'm experiencing the same problem.
Most viewable in the start nokia splash screen.
I dunno if I'm on the last firmware, but I'm branded Vodafone.
I'm having exactly the same thing... it's almost like gpu driver isn't aligning correct or something like that...
I've noticed this as well. I'm on the latest FW update (11451). As you other guys have said it's not that annoying and it goes away in less than a second so I will not take care of the problem unless it's solved with a future FW update.
ok, I have now noticed that this seems to become worse... Sometimes my display stays this way for several seconds... I just contacted the Nokia support team to check if I can get my device replaced, just to be safe...
And what did they say ?
Nothing yet. That's because today is an official holiday here in germany, and i doubt that the support team will work on weekends. So I think we'll have to wait untill monday for an answer...
I have the same problem with my unbranded lumia 800, any solution?!

Does any custom firmware fix the terrible call quality?

I have an ATT Titan on firmware 7720
Does any custom firmware fix the call quality issue?
A lot of at&t users have had issues in the past with call quality on their Titans, And I am sure it did get better with updates, It is always best to update to the latest version of the OS, This could either be 8107 or 8112, The 7720 build is quite an old release, If you still have no joy after updating it could be a poor reception issue in your area, Check the gold connectors are making full contact on the rear housing, try not to break them as they are fragile, If all else fails then take the handset back for a replacement, Hope you do get it sorted.
I'm on my 4th Titan from warranty swap over this issue. All of them have the problem (if you ask me). It has been discussed all over the web and here on XDA lots of times.
Here they discuss it with a few suggestions:

Here is where I found my solution that actually works:

Good luck. And if you haven't already filled your Titan's memory up, Back it up and fill the memory up with songs, pics or video and see what happens! Mine freaks out and causes a Hard Reset! HTC really hit a home run with this POS!

Thanks for your reply. I've already used a tape to mute the top mic. But it is only a temporary solution.
Has ATT released any firmware update? Mine is still on 7720.

I am using an ATT titan. But ATT has not released any official update since 7720. To update to 8112 or higher, must I debrand it? I read some threads from this forum. If I understand correctly, I must use either a Y cable or something called gold card to debrand it and then flash custom firmware?
Thanks
AT&T has not released anything and they have no plans of doing so either. Don't wait for them to do anything.
I have attached a force update cab (with language packs) that will update your US AT&T Titan to at least the latest MANGO 8107.

You don't need to use gold card or Y cable. Use cab sender to update to latest stock rom version 8107. Previous post has the cab package needed to update ur phone. If you are looking at non-stock custom rom then yes I would recommend to debrand to euro version rom using Y cable. See related thread on this topic

[Q] Htc One Issues.

Hellow Everybody.Before 2 days i bought Htc One M7. I have 2 issues with my new phone. Accidently discovered that there is no HDR mode in photo mode, and by luck i found out that this problem is from T-Mobile Htc One's Phones. I am not living in Usa but in Bolivia which mobile phones from Usa are sending here in order to be sold ( Brand New Ones). Anyways there is a way to know if it Is International Version or T-Mobile Version???. The second isuue is with Htc Account i have follow the steps over and over again but can not sync the phone with the account of Htc that i just created today. Htc sync is inactive (gray) . I guess thats why i don't receive messages or Updates like the camera fix that i see is already out.
Any Solutions???
Thank You,
Konstantinos.
Any Help? Anyone ?
Check your phone for software updates. One just come out for tmo usa that restores the hdr function

Have you rooted your device? did you get it second hand? did you convert it to a developer version? did you change the CID?
If you answered NO to all questions, then I think you should perform a hard reset on the device and see if that can solve the issue, otherwise maybe you need to take it back and have it exchanged. Don't be disappointing when you have an issue, that's why we are all here, to help you.
If you pulled it out of the box and none of the TV apps were installed and your having issues getting an OTA that your phone should have, then perform the hard reset (tech support will ask you to do so anyways); and if that doesn't fix the issue, then return it. That's why we have warranty.

Just to get the story straight, can you let us know what version of the phone you have? Do you have the international version? Whats your current android and software version?
Your HTC account doesn't have to be syncing in order to receive ota updates but what's the error message your getting when you try to sync it?
This info can help us troubleshoot your issue better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well sorry guys for the missunderstand. Now to the facts, Nobody could tell me untill today which version i have, when i went today to the store they told me i have the International Version. Android Version is 4.1.2 and Software version is 1.36.599.1 ( the weird part) , cause i am not wrong the offical version shoudn;t be 1.27 or 1.29????. Not sure about that.... Now i am trying to sync my Htc account but the option that says "Syncronize Now" is grey out (disabled). So i can not press this Button.
Well guys after contacting a Htc and sending a banch of mail i finally got i guess the answers. My software version they said is Normal 1.36.599.1 for Latin America. So it is My Android 4.1.2. The reason that i can not get sync My Device with Htc Account is cause this service is only available in USA and Europe. Also the Reason i can not get Ota Updates cuase simply there isn;t one currently avaliable for Latin America. The No Ir Tv App and No HDR mode they suggested me to accually buy a app from market that is gonna HDR mode in Photos.
Well it;s all very dissapointed for me, and Really now i need your help guys. I would like to suggest me a way to solve these problems by changing some things Like CID Customs Or Stock Roms S-Off etc. I don;t have lots of experience with these options so i would like to suggest a Safe way (well as much it can be safe) to do all these. I have the device a couple of weeks still of course has warranty and i don;t want to brick it. ( Who wants anyway). By the way what Is S-OFF And RUU Roms???
My CID Is Htc_332 Sw verions 1.36.599.1 Model is PN0711000 , project m7_u_jb_50.
All the help i can get is very welcome,
Thank you very much,

Question US update status for the A52 5G - where's everybody at?

I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!
I'm non T-Mobile and have had mine for the last week... I live here in Texas

In my first post it should have read "Im on T-mobile
Ooh haha gotcha, okay that lines up with the other T-Mobile release - I guess they probably put that out nationwide. The U1 still doesn't have the update as of today, which I find curious. I wonder if the other US models not attached to T-Mobile have theirs yet or if it's just the U on T-Mobile. Anyway thanks!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

That's bananas. Hope that gets fixed soon for you, that sounds like a hassle and a half. Have you looked to see if the gesture navigation bar does the same thing? Probably not that easy, but whack either way

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture
