I haven't really noticed anything, however the app update was supposed to fix the constant syncing issue with the "Watch" application. Could help you on battery a bit. I don't think its anything real big.
But, the dev's have recommended not taking the OTA.
I haven't taken it yet everything is smooth for me so far. Heard bad things about taking the OTA that has come out waiting on a newer one.
OTA = Not good and i have had no problems thus far. Hold off because root is so worth it!

i took it so i could watch 3d videos and green hornet..i have not notice any problems.
The OTA had its own bit of issues look it up on the google. It did something funky to the icons and few other issues.
Taking it wont screw up the chance to get root tho just have to wait on HTC to unlocck the phone.
update download
Is there a way to get this update off my 3vo I'm afraid its gonna eventually dl on its own and take the update
There is going to be another OTA update before root is found. Seriously who really wants to run an old busted OEM RUU that's rooted?
Me personally, I want the latest and greatest OTA, Rooted, and customized. I'll wait for that. In the meantime. Give me all the OTA you have. Updates are good! Omnomnomom!

Umm... What?
I did the OTA and I still can't watch the green hornet. It says that there are no videos found. Help?

I don't think it is an issue do to the fact that we are still getting the root, therefore in my opinion they were aware of it and the fix was needed to allow 3D Watch to work which means there's still was a bug or two possibly we will get the the root still over this, shouldn't have any effect against the rooted OTA coming
You guys sure are putting a lot of faith in HTC.....No updates for me until I see one that includes the S-Off bootloader. If your phone's truly not performing to your expectations have at it, but if you really want root at the earliest possible time and your phone's working ok without the OTA's......DON'T TAKE THEM. Remember, you can update at anytime, but you can't always revert back to what you had.

You need to format your SD and go reload the stock SD content from the devs section

I had the update installed on both mine and my wife's 3VO and, aside from the phone icon on the lock screen, which was remedied with a hard reset, I haven't had one single problem.
XDA Premium App, biatches!

The ota worked fine for me
The OTAs are fine. "When" HTC puts out the update for the s-off it will be done via the OTA so you'll have to do it then anyways. The whole "I don't want to update because I won't be able to root it" bull**** is just ignorance. In order to get the root you'll have to update, so might as well do it now and get the bug fixes done.
BTW, running all OTAs and my phone runs like a champs with 0 issues.

You're probably right but at the same time, you could be wrong. If someone wants s-off ASAP then it's safest to not do the OTA just to make sure they're running the same version the Devs are trying to crack. Straying from their targeted version is a risk because we don't know what bug they're exploiting. If you're willing to wait for HTC's s-off then sure, OTA away.
unknowing that people were waiting for root and not applying the updates on/after launch day, I updated right out of the box. I am curious to know (anyone from Team WIN) if the root method is good to go for those of us who have updated?
I hope to hear some good news about this.
Well, they said the temp root worked on an OTA 3VO...

#teamwin Oh, and I've rooted my *SECOND* #evo3d, which has the latest OTA.

So I'd guess so, but would love official word, since mine was OTA updated by sprint before I even got it.

The post was from 6-30, so it was recent as of yesterday's OTA which is still current.
If u you took the the last couple of ota's you should be fine, but it is advised that you don't take any. I've been hearing there's a new ota out. Stay away from the OTA.

I never had a stock phone for so long, I usually root day one. Can OTAs download and install while its plugged in over night without me accepting it? Sounds noob I know, but technically I am a noob with UNrooted phones lol

Yeah GREAT question! Please if anyone knows how to disable OTAs...I'm fairly certain you have to accept but...you never know?
HTC came out said late august early september, in light of this recent news is anyone taking the OTAs?
I've taken all the OTAs without any problems. Phone works great and I have no problems with Free3vo.
Since HTC came forward and said they will unlock I'm debating updating mine.

+1. Have had no problems running all variants of Fre3vo I've tried. I'm one quick plug-phone-into-PC-and-click away from accessing Barnacle, MSL reader, roam control, etc.
Nope.... Launch day stock for me until something is actually done.
Sent from my.....click, click, boom
Launch day stock as well. Old wifey's has all the updates but she's not into root. I think about taking the updates but I always decide not to. Kind of reminds me of my virginity
...nice upgrade from hero
Why wouldnt u take the updates that have already been released? All know root exploits work with the OTAs that have been released..future updates ok i might see not taking but not taking the ones out now doesnt make any sense!!

+1 I recently got a warranty replacement for mine and I debated taking the update for a couple days. I finally decided to do it because the current temp root exploit works with both software versions. I really don't see much point in not taking the update.

Because the OTA updates the bootloader (from v1.30 to v1.40... I think). The current root exploit is only for the OS and when/if s-off is acheived from our devs it may only work on the earlier version. Hboot has control over more than just the OS so if the earlier version has an exploit that the newer version doesn't then everyone who took the OTA may very well be screwing themselves out of s-off until HTC does unlock the bootloader. I myself am going to stay away from any and all updates until either HTC or teamwin or anyone else can give us full root/s-off. My phone runs just fine like it is now, on launch day software.
I just updated to the latest ota, now my dialer icon is gone from the app drawer and lock screen. The dialer is there, but icon is gone... Can someone post the apk for me so I can get the icon back? Thanks.

That's very strange. Any time you need an .apk though you can just open one of the copies of the stock rom in the development section.

Not sure if this will do anything for you but you might need this as well. I tried to attach it on the previous post but it wouldn't let me. You have to rename it to "HtcDialer.odex". I changed it to a .zip because I kept getting invalid file while trying to attach it.
Why are those two dialers different file sizes?

I had this happen, but after a reboot everything came back.
I guess there never was an icon in the app drawer. Just looked at a buddies evo and he doesn't have one either and said there never was.

There is another OTA that fixes the phone icon.
No way OTA.
Just had the ROM update pushed to my device. Looks like the HTC security bug fix.
Security and performance update. Seems maybe a fit more responsive...could just be my imagination.
What the version number in the about phone software section?

I said it once and ill say it again, DO NOT TAKE UPDATES if you want S-off when it's available. Those same "security fixes" are probably closing any exploits for our developers to crack.
1.36.531.6
HBOOT is 1.90.0004, still from Sept 15, 2011.

how long did the update take? I keep getting the black screen with the android and a triangle with a ! in it, and nothing happens that I can see......
no worries factory reset restores pre-update .... I think

WRONG!
After a factory reset you'll still have the updated software.
All a factory reset does is deletes the user files in the /data partition.

Bit more battery?? It needs tons more...I am waiting to update.
Does the update allow you to root anyway with the One click method??
I don't want to screw that up... S-OFF and ON does not change to me.

There is no s=off method yet, but this will remove perm root is you have done it. Supposedly, you just need to do the perm root again.
I have blocked the update so far as I do not see an immediate need for it. I had heard that the patch is for an HTC wide venerability fix.

Should have fixed the fairly major security vulnerability in HTCLoggers.apk which let any app with Internet permission access your contacts, call logs, location tracking, etc.
This update started rolling out about a week and a half ago.. At least that's when I got it.. It was around 10Mb..

I've noticed improvement of my battery life after updating, also the phone doesn't heat up as much as before...
Not really sure what this update did in regards to battery life, but my screen transitions does seem slightly smoother when going from a full page widget to another (example: weather to calendar).
Before installing it did state the package was for "optimisation"...whatever that means
Tonight I got a notification on my phone that a system update is available. My phone is rooted but still running stock. Will allowing the system update to go through cause me to be un-rooted again, or can I proceed with the update as I normally would?
I do not really want to have to fuss with this tonight but the update icon is getting on my nerves.
Wait for a stock rooted rom or you will lose root!!!
