AT&T HTC Titan OS Update, anyone get it yet?

[Fuzzy John]

Good to know an update to fix the voice quality on a year+ old phone is now ready and waiting for carrier approval.

Any day now... any day... any day.

I found that AT&T update announcement and got excited but it says September...so, when????

If you're using an AT&T branded HTC Titan I or Titan II, the devices can be upgraded incrementally to 8779 with Cab Sender; my wife's Titan I is subsidy unlocked but locked otherwise and I updated her device to 8773. My Titan I is interop unlocked and I recently updated it to 7.8.8835. There aren't enough changes in the 8858 build for me to change my device. All that said, why in God's name did Microsoft make it impossible to manually update MMS settings in this platform; Straight Talk users will know exactly what I'm talking about; I had it working then now it's not but that's for another thread.

I want the firmware updates, too.

what are you talking about getting ST MMS working on a Titan?

From what I have been told by ATT, they have been working on checking all updates with their network for about 10 months now.

It takes AT&T longer to test updates than it does for programmers to make them. :grin:

Contracts expire and new phones are gotten in the time it takes for them to update things. It's amazing that Apple can control their own destiny and the rest of us have to wait.

And yet when we use the phones our calls are dropped.

he was being sarcastic I'm pretty sure.

Hmm this may be bad news:

HTC TITAN

The page is blank now. No details about the update.

Done with AT&T, done with HTC. I can't believe that one year after purchasing this phone, I have not received a single update, including anything to fix simple bugs. I haven't been following this story closely, so I don't know who's to blame between AT&T and HTC, but I do know my wife's Focus S got Tango something like 2 months ago. These recent stories about HTC's re-emergence in Windows Phone just make me mad- how about supporting your existing devices first?!

I guess I'll wait and get something on Ting or Republic Wireless. It's looking like Ting will have a Windows Phone by then- hopefully it will be a Nokia. If not, I guess it's Android for me .

Ting will run on oversold Sprint spectrum. I wouldn't touch that hot mess with a 10 ft pole. Get a ST SIM and buy a 920 from Amazon outright.

 

[kevm14]

Can anyone pull up a cached page of that update? I have an e-mail going with HTC and they claim they know nothing about it. Of course it's gone so I can't prove anything. I should probably be talking to AT&T, so maybe I'll try that. Squeaky wheel, etc.

Thanks HTC for putting more substance on my move to Nokia's Lumia 920.

 

[power5]

Wayback machine does not have a cache of the support page.

I am stuck with ATT but definitely not stuck with HTC. They will probably NEVER get my business again, and anyone thinking of getting an HTC will get some flak from me as well. Over a year and not a single update. Why could they not just push the Titan 2 update to our phones? Only difference is the camera I think.

I Did It! Courtesy Josh

Steps:

In my case I had a problem with this error (when my device was restarted it always appeared the next error (update device 160a69e1 - 160a69e1 - 43c1151c - a579b1de - cf0d5649 complete with error code 80070013.) and that error is because we need to update our firmware, and for that, you need to download the HOTFIX (spl_2.6.160015.3_WWE)here...https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...c.com%2Fwww%2Fsupport%2Fnews.a&token=-6pQwGhj..., you only need to follow the steps described in that page.

Run "spl_2.6.160015.3_WWE", but if you have a problem trying to install that upate and one driver is required in your PC (qualcomm cdma technologies msm) just let "windows update" download that driver and automatically will be installed.

Follow the steps described in that page one more time and your problem will be solved, with that driver installed you won?t have problems to run that HOTFIX and your Firmware will be Updated.

After that you will be ready to the next procedure.

1.- Download WP7_update_tool and run the operative system that you got (x64 or x86).

2.- Download "seveneighter" and execute it as Administrator.

3.- Click to "Install WP7.8" and choose you language (search in your phone in settings--region+language and put all laguages that appear in "Display Language"...THIS IS IMPORTANT!...In my case I only have as language "English" so I used that pack (English EU).

Your device will be restarted and that error will be gone and automatically all updates will be downloaded and installed....you only need to wait for a minutes and you will see how your device is restarted everytime one updated is installed.

What is it with all of these threads never including a simple link to the files and programs that need to be used? Where do I find WP7_update_tool? Where do I find a program called seveneigher?

See if your contacts sync properly with Outlook.com. Mine didn't.
