(OTA update) ME863 gets 2.3.6 in Hong Kong

My OEM Hong Kong Milestone 3 (ME863) just got a 28 MB OTA update today. System is now 2.3.6. No mention of what this update brings anywhere....... Kind of weird.
Anyway, looks slightly more smooth. Camera app slightly quicker... No idea of the improvements except that. Need more time to tell about the battery life and the bugs I had before (GPS bug).
If anyone has more info, please share.

So XT862 officially has oldest android

Not sure exactly how to do this, but could you check to see if the OTA has an unlocked bootloader? If it does that would mean some progress, if not, back to square 1!

GPS bugs? Elodie1, care to clarify what do you mean by the GPS bug?
I have the ME863 that the GPS fail to work at all. I cannot see a single satelite with the GPS Status app, even with AGPS turn on. What GPS bug are you experiencing?

Sometimes (not all the time), GPS would not work at all. It's turned on, but the logo does not appear when I launch Maps. And of course, my phone doesn't can't locate me correctly. Same thing with any app.
A simple reboot actually fix this... But it is quite annoying since it makes you waste several minutes.

But, if you're in HK and you think your problem is more a hardware problem, you should bring your phone to the Moto tech centre, they can usually fix it within one day if you bring it in the morning... and they lend you a phone of course.

I see, i guess my problem is different from yours then. Unfortunately I'm not in Hong Kong, I'm sending it back to the seller and hopefully he'll be able fix it or send it back to Hong Kong to fix it.
Don't know how fast it can be fixed though

I see. Anyway, I can now confirm this update does not fix this GPS bug (despite the fact it has been reported by several users on the Motorola forums since the very beginning).
I am happy that the system seems to be slightly more smooth. But I am astonished by how little Moto seems to care. E.g. what would it cost to add the same camera shortcut than on the Razr? Hello Moto! This is basically the very same lockscreen and system! So let's not talk about Smart Actions (but since they are one of the very few things that will differentiate D4 from D3, so let's not care about the D3 early adopters...)

Bought that new MS-3 yesterday and got that OTA update on my way back. Everything seems good even with the GPS navigation program. I can't find any problem so far. I traded in my HTC Sensation which is a total disappointment !

Say... ME863 owners, one thing that I found to be inconvenient, is that the Milestone3 can't do video call directly through 3G. It needs to be done through an app.
Have you all tried it?
I'm sure it's not an android limitation, because Samsung Galaxy S can video call without an App. Maybe Motorola don't think it's worth to support this function?

Software Updates

Does anyone know where i can get a ZIP of the latest OTA update for the ATT version of the axon m. My phone will not get software updates over the air and idk why.

Having the same issue now, always giving "Network unavaliable".
Running CN 1.9 and I'm located in The Netherlands. The ZTE website barely functions and I can't find any .zip with the update
I'm no longer using the axon m as a daily driver due all the bugs and issues I'm experiencing with this device. The hardware is solid but the software sucks

Same for me here. It's apity because they promised we will get Oreo in may. Let's hope, that they bring the servers online again some time.

Server for updates and forum down... stuck on 1.11.

Till now offline...

Been trying to figure out whats up with the updates, the following error is logged:
com.zte.zdm.g.a.k: Unable to resolve host "dmcn.ztems.com": No address associated with hostname
Seems like someone changed the DNS at ZTE without realising some services might depend on it .......

I really do love this device, but I think at this point it's best if I offload it for as much money as I can recoup because I doubt this thing will get any future development, let alone updates.

Till now blocked and... Did you see also the ZTE Market is out of range?

Servers seem to be back online. No "network unavailable" error anymore!

Can confirm, servers are back online

Huge 3.2GB Update arrived!
Axon M CN 2.0
Downloading now...

Hi,
I confirm. Yesterday the CN 2.0 with Android 8.1.0 was installed via OTA for my chinese Axon M ... putting disorder in my custom GAPPS installation.
And this update drain the battery very fast, 5 times faster but is very nice and ... faster. I am searching why (for the battery) reinstalling GAPPS, mainly the accurate Google Service.

I can confirm every point. Except the battery draining. In the beginning the beattery drained very fast, but after 2 times reloading it seems to get to normal again. The update feels very smooth and brings many new settings but also one huge problem. As you told every google App does not longer work properly, or the apps can't get the connection to the google servers. I tried everything. deinstall everthing, reinstall the apps...always the same...the problem seems to be the "google play service" app. I don't see any other chance now and will do a factory reset in the afternoon.
Please keep us informed, if you bring the Gapps back to properly work. I will do the same.

If there is a solution please let me know. I had the same problem after upgrade to AXON 2.0. Battery drain damn fast and cannot use Google apps.

...didn't work. I'm very disappointed right now. Had to switch back to my Axon 7. Hopefully it will work again with a futures google play or Firmware Update. I will wait a few weeks.

I confirm, servers are online but no updates so far. I am with the CH version.

When I flushed the Japanese docomo version(M Z-01K) ROM with microSD card in the Chinese version (6G / 128G), I could not use the mobile network, it was displayed that the model was different, and the Chinese version ROM could not be flushed.
Is there any way?
I used google translation.

HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) Latest OS Update

My HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) factory unlocked device just now received a 192mb size incremental update. The update took a good 20 minutes to complete. No cosmetic changes found. Mine is a factory unlocked device which might be meant for Taiwan/Myanmar markets but I am using it here in Canada Fido network with no issues except for weak signal occasionally.
Details:
Android version: 6.0.
Software Number: 2.22.709.2
Android Security Patch Level: March 1, 2018
Did anyone else receive this or similar update? Also an unrelated question. I see that my device doesn't have HTC Music or HTC Gallery. Instead, it comes with Google Photos and Google Music. Is there a way to get access to HTC's own music and gallery applications that can be fully functional in this device? I don't want to either unlock bootloader or root device. Any valuable inputs are welcome.

Yes I did receive the update (update citing improvements on a Chinese carrier LTE service) after manually checking for it.
HTC are using Google apps now because they want to at least make Sense Home more streamlined with a more stock Android feel (plus I imagine that they want to cut down on the hassle of maintaining their propriety apps)
So you either use the stock Google apps or download third-party apps for what you are looking for.

How is your phone behaving on the Bluetooth front after this update? Bluetooth was never solid in this phone but I find it has gotten worse after this update. It loses Bluetooth connections very frequently; like every five minutes. Any idea?

prmbasheer,
Bluetooth is fine for me, granted I have used it with something that requires a prolonged connection, but I will test it out with my Bluetooth headset just to be sure, I only transfer small files with Bluetooth but I have switched to transfer via wireless which is much faster of course, I will test it out during the weekend and I will let you know if I have the same issue or not.
Cheers

Hey there, I tested my Bluetooth headset (skull candy sb2) for more than 12 hours and I am to report that I did not experience any connection interruptions.
Perhaps the radio on your phone needs to be checked, but can I be frank, this phone is ok, not great by all means, they [htc] obviously have no plans for future OS updates, my advice to you is sell this phone and get a new one, I'll probably do the same down the road, that's just my opinion.
Cheers.

This device is widely reported for Bluetooth issues. I am glad your device has no such issues. I am using a smartwatch and the same earphones you tried. So, it is basically two devices I need to be connected to this phone but it fails terribly. Every 5 - 10 minutes one of the devices keep disconnecting and reconnecting. So, now I have started using my other phone (LG G6) and this is stored for later use or as you suggested, a sale.

EOL for the XZ2?

XZ3 got 52.1.A.3.92 (August/September) while we're stuck on 52.1.A.3.49 (July). I think this is it unless they're just being lazy or skipping updates. Coincidentally the XZ3 came out October 2018 whereas the XZ2 came out in April 2018. The XZ1 stopped updates exactly 2 years after it came out, but one can still hope.
At least their newer devices (Mark II) have combined packages for regions unlike everything before it which is nice. No idea why they had to have 42 different versions with varying degree of update schedules for so long. One thing that still bugs me is why they have to have 2 versions per device instead of only having the option for just dual-sim which is way more cost effective since you can decide on either 2 sims or 1 sim + microsd. Their Mobile division has been suffering for so long so why they still do this is quite a mystery not to mention lock one or the other on a per-region basis. It must be a cultural thing or something.

Some regions of the XZ2/c/p devices got the 52.1.A.3.74 ~2020-08-24
But yes, I think that was the last one and only custom roms will give us future security updates.
(But only the SODP project gives us also security updates for the vendor partition.)
And yeah, nice to see that finally they reduce the amount of regions.

New firmware (52.1.A.3.137 ~ 2021-03-12) available for XZ3 and XZ2 family.

I believe for the time 52.1.A.3.137 is only available via OTA upgrade. I got OTA upgrade notifications on both XZ2 and XZ3.
One strange thing I got through is that I have a second XZ3 but the device hasn't got, at least yet, an OTA upgrade notification. I know that firmware time releases depend on carrier, software version etc but I have flashed my both XZ3 with the exact same 52.1.A.3.92 firmware in the past.
Both devices are 8416 model unlocked to any network and use the same carrier.
The only difference I found between two is that the one got the OTA upgrade notification for the 52.1.A.3.137 has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_3A" and the other which didn't get any OTA has "ETS Software Version :1313-0833_5.
Anyway I am sure 52.1.A.3.137 will be released in the next few days on Xperifirm.

Xz3 will get full-screen mode? Is this just a security fix?

52.1.A.3.137 is now available on Xperifirm.

Anyone got any idea what this update is about? For some reason I can't find the security level on my XZ3 to check if it's a security level patch.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia XZ3 52.1.A.3.92 about sending WhatsApp audios. The problem is about an interruption of the voice after three seconds of recording, followed by silence. In a previous version of Android 10, I also had a really low volume, which has been fixed in my current release.
When I was notifyed by my phone about the new 52.1.A.3.137 version, I wondered if the WhatsApp bug had been fixed. Does anyone have informations about it?
I apologize for grammar mistakes, I am italian.

I just got 52.1.A.3.137 on my XZ2 Premium today and it nerfed half of my apps. Literally half of my apps either will not run or run for a few seconds and then exit. Of course, this was not the case before this update. Beware.

Try update apps.

Thank you for reporting your experience... Sony has released an incredible number of software versions full of bugs for its smartphones. My current release has some bugs, but I am getting kinda used to them.

I had the same experience with some apps on xz3. I think it is not about the firmware patch. It has to do with the android system Web view. Update it to the latest version 89.0.4389. 105(2021/03/23) and you should be fine. Hope that helps.

After messing with the phone for hours, I was able to remove the updates for the Google Play Services and Google Play. After they reinstalled themselves, everything was back to 100% normal again. Apparently, something about the firmware update was crashing my Google Play Services. It was really strange that some apps worked, no problem. But some apps would run once and then never again. Instead, they would either crash immediately or after a few seconds.
The problem I ran into at first was that Google Play Services wouldn't uninstall updates because it was in use or crashed. Once I was able to uninstall the updates, that triggered the system to install the latest versions and all was good again. Just glad I didn't do anything hasty like reset the phone before exhausting all else.

It is an essential fix for this bug with most XZ models including the XZ3 where you couldn't use Google Assistant hands free.
Made driving very dangerous for me hence the constant nagging, Sony acknowledged and finally brought the fix out.
Still waiting for the update here in the UK

Anyone saying the update nerfed their apps is probably overlooking the recent Google Webview breaking fiasco, just update your apps in Google Play Store or at least Google Webview, totally unrelated to the new Sony Xperia update imo.

OTA Update came through for me today as a 128.5 MB file size but will not install. Progress bar counts up the % complete increments but at the 100% complete stage it says "Could not verify" and then you just have the button again to tap on "Update" and start all over again. Restarting the phone a few times did not help either.

Probably your android attest key is missing.
Check your device status if it says "android attest key not provisioned".
That usually happens if you flash the device with newflasher and you didn't exclude persist.sin file.
This is really not a big issue as you can always download the firmware you want with xperifirm and flash your device with newflasher.

Question Anyone have any issues with the RING app on EU rom?

Hello All,
So since switching to the EU rom, I noticed that I am having issues with the RING app.
Not sure how many of you guys have RING cameras and use the RING app, but hoping that someone does.
Just curious to know, if you are using it, does your doorbell cam (or any other cams) work on the phone?
It works on my S10+ without an issue, while a few minutes later it does NOT work on the Mi 11 Ultra.
The timer is ticking and I can END the live call/view, but the camera picture is not working.
When I click on Live > Tap to Go Live > I get the following error where the video feed is supposed to be: Failed to connect. We're having trouble connecting to your Front Doorbell
Though if I go to the other phone I have, it works just fine.
So clearly its a phone issue and not the application or camera issue.
I am currently on Miui 12.5.17 EU rom, rooted, with LSposed installed. I've tried hiding magisk from Ring, but that did not solve the issue.
Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue on the same ROM, no root, same version your on.

Do you have your work email, or any work related setup on your phone? Do you have a VPN app on your phone? These can cause this issue.

Hey, so I dont know what I did but the ring app started to work without issues later that day. or maybe the following day. This week has been a big blur at this point.
To further answer your question, yes, I do have a work profile set up through MS and all the MS apps, including InTune which I was able to install fine regardless of having the phone rooted, by using MagiskHide
I also have 2 sim cards in my phone, one personal TMO and one work from ATT
I dont know what combination of steps or actions I took to get it to work, but i was surprised myself that it started to work....
One thing I do remember doing is downloading an OLDER version of the app, which also did NOT work, but I figured I would just leave it installed for now since i didnt have time to go through any app updates. Then when I received a notification that someone was at the door, so I decided to just see if the video will work LIVE as someone was there, as opposed to a recorded motion (which did work on the phone without issue), and viola, it worked live... then eventually I did get around to updating to the latest version just to check and see if it will still work, and it did....
With regards to what the version of the Ring app was that I installed, I do not remember and I just checked the APKs I have on my phone and i do not see one. I think i might have used Aptoide app to download and install the older version. But I want to say it was from March of this year, so quite old, but I may be mistaken.

Nevermind, just found what the version was... Ring - Always Home v3.35.1
Ring - Always Home 3.35.1 (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 5.0+) APK Download by Ring.com - APKMirror
Ring - Always Home 3.35.1 (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 5.0+) APK Download by Ring.com - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads
www.apkmirror.com

It's Intune and the work profile that installs phone security. The network masking that occurs causes the problems. Try removing it and testing it again.
I know that's the only changes I made on my phone before it stopped working.

I am 99.9 % sure that I tried the RING app BEFORE installing the work profile and thats when the issue was occurring...
not 100% thought, but 99.9%
But regardless..... as mentioned before.... It is currently working fine for me on the latest version of the Ring app... Not sure what I did to get it there, as I was not doing anything specific to fix the Ring app, but clearly something was done and everything now works as expected.

Congratulations, I meanwhile still have the same issue. Let me know if you ever find out how you fixed it.
Thank you.

See above...try to download the older version and run it for a day, hopefully that will get it to working? thats what i did, whether that was exactly what fixed the issue, i dont know, but worth a shot.

Old version of the app works. Maybe I'll wait until a new update is pushed. Last updated in September.

Actually, I lied before.... it DID NOT work on latest version. I just checked and it was NOT working....
I uninstalled and installed the older version and its back to working.
So i'll be using the older version.... As they say, if it ain't broke, dont fix it. so the old version will perfectly suffice

Any luck? Still struggling with this.

I've noticed that 12.5.17 has a lot of bugs. Waiting for another update desperately.
