"HTC Update"

I didn't have it until after the update from a couple of days ago. I'm on T-Mobile.

You know what, pre-portico I had that notification. I forgot about it since obviously it was removed when I installed portico. You are right, use to have the phone remind me of "hearing damage" if I played above the 20 mark.
 
yesterday i had battery drain issue, again. so i did hard reset and everything was fine till today. Battery drain again, i'am thinking it's skype. It was OK until i installed skype and sign in. I'am on mobile now but i will post firmware when i get home... F*** it
os: 8.0.10211.204
firmware: 1532.20.20005.401

That is not an update feature, the letters appear just because you've installed an app and at some point (people say 45 apps) the grid letters appear.
 
Got the update last night and I was hoping it would fix my invalid SIM error but alas, no. No idea what this has updated. I've seen reports that this is supposed to reduce the "Other" in storage space but I've not seen any improvement on the 3.37GB that mine currently consumes.
 
I contacted HTC customer service to ask what the update was and got a short and curt reply saying no idea it was nothing to do with them, Microsoft was responsible, obviously a load of rubbish.
Anyway HTC then made the mistake of emailing me a questionnaire about the customer service I had received and I didnt hold any punches and said how appalling it had been Amazingly I had a phone call from them offering sincere apologies and informing me what the update was !!

Unfortunately I was not able to take notes when they called so this is from (a not very good and ageing) memory! The update was to deal with five problems. Two of them were country/region specific minor tweaks ( Greece and SE Europe being one I remember) , the third was improvement to the loading of the carriers logo images which had been causing problems in some areas. Fourth was to correct a rare reboot problem and finally the fifth was a tweak to memory handling.
So sadly there was nothing amazing really !
