it crashed when restating the phone (in visionary+ I did the "unroot now" option)

Please Help

Arabic seconded

I also think this is mainly for Arabic support based on the search results I've done for this update. I have an unlocked DHD in New Zealand (parallel import I supposed) and the case had arabic script on it.

I can confirm it's for "Arabic" support.
Although after installing it, I've noticed misplaced text in some "English" apps like "GPS test".

A Representative from HTC told me that the update also fixed a GPS bug which caused the phone to take a lot of time to get a proper location fix, but I didn't notice any improvements concerning the GPS ( I feel it got even worse ).

Actually I'm waiting for fixes concerning the following problems :

1. Ring Volume ( it's not so bad, but sometimes I miss some calls )
2. Fix GPS lock/fix time ( It might take up to 30 minutes to get a proper fix )
3. Fix the garbage HD video recording
4. HTCsense.com which doesn't work at all ( sometimes I can make the phone ring ), I can't believe how they keep advertising about this !!


And it would be actually great if they update the phone to Gingerbread

For those who have rooted phones, you need to reflash with an official RUU ROM.

The update is good, but they changed the original Sense keyboard with one that is really bad.

installed this update 2 days ago

Hi All,
Got the update available message 2 days ago and downloaded the 37mg firmware/software in Brisbane QLD Australia. Unbranded HTC Desire HD with all western country locale - after the update I found the keyboard to only be Arabic and limited set of middle-east english - ie: had to select English(Kuwait) as the closest thing to English (Australia) or US.
Since 2 days ago I have read about 1000 websites and forums trying to get the standard keyboard back, have tried the apps that load more locales - they don't fix the keyboard - did get the HTC_IME_hi22.apk to work as a workaround (but I'd like to have a standard keyboard)
Even tried to factory reset the phone and when its starts I get the same limited Arabic countries to select from.

Does anyone know how I can get a full download of the previous firmware/software to load from my SD card?

And for future, does anyone know how I can tell HTC that this phone is a western english based phone?

PS - If your in Australia I recommend not loading this new release until you do some research.

Important Questions about 1.83.415.4

Dear all,

i'm trying to post here all the questions asked regarding the new OTA update and if you have a sure answer please reply:

1) is there any official changes in this update other than supporting arabic and replacing the Keyboard.

2) for those who did apply the update, what changes you did notice on your devices

3) for rooted s-offed devices running 1.32.405.6 that cannot install the update, how we do reflash using official RUU (link to the RUU please)

4) after reflashing official RUU and installing the new update, can we root and s-off the device again

5) to solve iPhone_convert issue, can someone advice him ??


Thanks and waiting for reply (i hope)
