[INFO] Changes in OTA update 2.10.405.2 (changelog)

spritable · Sep 10, 2010

I wanted to create a change log for the latest OTA update 2.10.405.2. So here it is. Just bare in mind that this is not official change log, but just bits and pieces I found in the forum.

Changelog:

~~1. New battery algorithm. No more drops from full charged during charging to 90-91% after unplugged.~~ (maybe calibrating of the battery, because different people sees different results - ohyeahar, herezor, chichoko)

2. New version of Google Maps 4.4.0

~~3. New app Places~~ (it existed before if you had Google Maps updated to version 4.4 via Market - FreudsCAT)

4. New microphone button in the keyboard (only in english keyboard). To fix the issue with the low resolution of the button, just remove all languages except English and the button will have the same quality as the other ones (EddyOS)

5. No vibrate on shutdown

6. Save attachments from GMail app (Only Word and Excel. No support for zip or pdf)

7. New version of Quickoffice 3.2.60 (FreudsCAT)

8. Peep 2.0 fixed authentication with twitter (FreudsCAT)

9. Better video quality while capturing video (hamdir, aindow)

10. New/improved notifications of unsent messages, tweets, Facebook alerts, etc. (aindow, andQlimax)

11. Flash Player v 10.1.92.10 can be downloaded from the market. (hija31 vs. people are reporting that it was in the market before - Lothaen)

12. The image blur bug in the gallery is gone. (hamdir vs. fblasot)

Not confirmed, but people reporting those:
101. Better sound quality while shooting video.

Please feel free to comment those changes and add new ones.

Places was in 2.09.405.8 (or was on mine)

I'm not 100% sure but I had to install "Maps [brut]" to have "Places [brut]" on my list. As far as I remember I did not had "Places". But maybe I'm wrong. Can somebody else comment on this.

"Places" was definitely there before.

Btw, I'm not sure how anyone can be sure there's a new battery algorithm. It can just be an issue with your battery calibration.

You are correct about the "new battery algorithm". I've seen threads with a lot of people having the same issue as me, but in the same time other people didn't have it.

It appears when I had OTA update 1.15.405.4. Before that I had very accurate battery percentage. The issues stayed after the Froyo update. But now with this OTA it's gone.

- I didn' had "Places" before (Desire - Unbranded - Unrooted, official HTC 2.2 rom - updated OTA with latest "patch")

- After yesterday update, this morning i had the battery drop from 100% to aprox 90%, so the new algorithm

it's not there (from the update - 2.2 OTA till yesterday the battery slowly recalibrate itself and last 2 weeks i had no quick drops in btry. percentage )

- i don't know about "News and weather" if it is new or not because i didn't saw it before ......

- places - as far as I remember I did not had it too. But as you can see other people are saying it was there.

- about battery algorithm - so the issue with drops is still there.

- "News and weather" widget is an Android widget (not HTC) which was there before this update.

As HTC says about the update:

1.Android OS update patch
2.Enhanced multi inbox Gmail support
3.Improved Russia keyboard layout

also

- new version Quickoffice 3.2.60 - HTC
- peep 2.0 fixed authentication with twitter

EddyOS · Sep 10, 2010

Places was there on my SIM-free Desire running 2.09.405.8 RUU (I never do OTA updates) - I'm guessing other people never noticed it

Thanks for the latest 2 new changes you've provided.

About the official changes - I think is better to list the exact changes, not general ones like "Android OS update patch", because they are kinda misleading.

I can confirm improvements in my Desire´s battery (recalibrated itself as well), as this morning from 7:00 until 12:30 it dropped 2 % only (under normal load)... I also noticed a drastic reduction in the temperature of the battery (before, it was 34ºC with system on and Wi-Fi enabled, and now 26.2ºC in same conditions). I use Battery Left widget from Android Market to measure this.

So, seeing that more and more people are finding their Desi´s battery lasts longer, I assume that one of the main changes in this update is the new energy management algorithm, not included in initial Froyo release and so much expected...

Notifications for unsent messages, tweets, Facebook alerts etc are now in colour on the top notification bar.

There's now a black background as an option on the phone without having to download one. Have a look in the wallpapers menu.

Can you please tell me how can I replicate that?

I do not have a black wallpaper. I do have an very dark black grid wallpaper, but that's there from day one.

Confirming Peep OAuth upgrade, this was added today to my twitter connections page, it wan't there before even after peep worked again:

HTC Peep by HTC Corp
Twitter for HTC Sense OAuth
Revoke Access · approved on 12:32 AM today · read and write access

aindow · Sep 10, 2010

When a text doesn't send due to bad signal it shows an envelope with a red triangle next to it. The Facebook notification shows a Facebook logo with a green circle with the number of received messages.

The wallpaper I am on about is black, but has a load of very small white dots.

@spritable
Great idea for a thread! I always like to read these "changelog threads" before update since I had a few bad experiences when being impatient

Can someone with installed update confirm if some of these bugs / glitches that existed on first official 2.2 OTA update:

- Missing right border for dialer buttons (see attachment)
- Privacy missing in settings (I know that you can find it via search but can it now be seen "normally"?)
- Problem with Sense widgets and transferring apps to SD (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=744581)

Fix for this last issue is extremely important to me so if you do not want to read the entire thread for the link above here is summary:

I conducted these tests on two different Desires using three different applications downloaded directly from Market, that natively support moving to SD card. Earlier I
Applications are (but can be ANY other app that supports moving to SD card): Barcode Scanner (ZXing team, version 3.4), Rock Player (Holly Lee, version 1.0.31), Slide Puzzle (SporkSoft, version 1.6.7)

1) As soon as I move any of these apps to SD card, widgets on home screens reload data (like after system boot). During this "reload" weather widget stays blank as shown in picture I am sending you: "blank_wether_widget.jpg"

2) The same thing happens with widgets when I connect the phone to PC via USB in DISK DRIVE mode

3) The same thing also happens when I disconnect a phone from PC (if it was connected in DISK DRIVE mode).

5) HARD RESET doesn't help, regarding this issue!

piumach · Sep 10, 2010

Hey, what happened??
Two days ago I checked manually for the update and I found it but I did not install it because it was not clear about rooting procedure for new boot loader.
Now I would like to upgrade but if I check manually it tells me no update available and the software version is still the old one!!
Any idea??

hamdir · Sep 10, 2010

I didn't have "places" on previous Froyo OTA now i do.

i shot and played back a 720p video, seems smoother then before. I found a hint about a change in video playback, i had videos on my SD made to play on ps3 H264 encoded at 15MB bitrate, used to play normal but stutter bad now after the OTA they show black or artifacts at playback.

the image blur bug in the gallery is gone, it used to happen when u rotate the screen, sharpness was lost. However weird random thumbnails artifacts bug is still there.

new speaker icon on keyboard is blurred doesn't look screen native.

mnaeh all the bugs u mentioned are still there even the privacy menu still missing.

i appreciate updating peep, maps and quickoffice and certainly love the new speaker button. but not updating flash in this OTA is kinda of stupid.

I love HTC and my desire much more then my old iphone, but damn these tiny yet persistent bugs makes their products feel unpolished. I wish HTC stops releasing hundreds of different branded and network exclusives and instead focus on polishing their awesome products. example the stupid unable to edit notes widget.

What does Places do? I'm guessing it's something like Footprints??

chichoko · Sep 10, 2010
