HTC Legend

[Crexzz]

Yes, vodafone subscribers got their ota about 2weeks ago but it's only yesterday that unbranded phones in europe started getting the froyo update.

Yup, but it's prob not worth the risk and extra effort to root now that the official update is going to be released any day now.

Lets pray by year end. My neck is growing longer as the days tick by........

It's a disgrace to myself, but I'm purely a leecher (never donated before to ROMs developer)

But I do buy some of paid apps that I really use often (though I have the pirated version)

I am hopeful it will happen within the next week!

For those brave enough to try, the update is downloadable at this site:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Legend_Fr...2.05.405.2_release_160357lpbd4myxuoe8m8jr.zip

I am not sure how to do the update using the file though or whether it is compatible with Singapore HTC Legends - perhaps someone can chip in.

I still remember the famous MYTH that because htc has Sense interface to update, its always the slowest to update its firmware.

Look at Motorola, Sony, Samsung, LG etc etc. All still stuck on old firmware.

htc may have both Android and Sense to update each time, they also have the most phones to update for due to their insane range of products, but are htc updates really that slow as many people seem to believe?

Hi! any issues so far?

Hi! any issues so far?

I noticed people saying it is laggier, battery is worse, and Angry Birds has less lag. Personally, I feel my battery life and Wifi are better, Angry Birds is still laggy, and sometimes, when I unlock the screen the 9-dots thingy didn't appear at all.

Did it freeze while running some apps? Are you using Froyo "Move to SD" for your apps?

 

[lonestar86]

finally.. updated to froyo!!

why can't i set lock screen image?

After Froyo upgrade, things seems to be faster.
To ensure good setup:
1) Backup your data.
2) Hard reset phone to factory default.
3) Re-configure phone settings.
4) Restore data (from step 1).
5) Do not use 'Live wallpaper' (resource hungry).
6) Do not use 'Task Killer'.
(read somewhere that from v2.1 and onwards, 'Task killer' became ineffective. Only use it for poorly written apps. If possible, uninstall and do not use the poorly written apps & 'Task killer').
7) Try not to use 'App2SD'
Read/write speed to internal memory is much faster than External memory.
8) Only use Froyo compatible apps.
9) Reduce apps' update frequency.
E.g. change from 15mins to 60mins.
10) Press Menu, Settings -> Display -> Animation. Change it to 'some animations' or 'no animations'.
11) Reduce the usage of 'widgets'. Because 'widgets' needs to update themselves from time to time. Usage of 'shortcuts' should be okay.
12) Try not to use interface overlays. 'HTC sense' by itself took up some resources. If you use other overlays (E.g. Iphone, Windows7). Availability of resources will be affected.


Hope these helps.

Nice tips there.

Indeed, after a hard reset, the phone is lightning fast. Much faster than 2.1.
