The whole process is about 15 minutes. You'll see 4 screens. Two rom loading screens, one with a progress bar one without, the HTC bootup screen, and the 4G bootup screen.

i know someone that bricked theirs because it prompted hm to update twice. first went well, second bricked his phone - won't even let it charge. saw someone else on here that had the same problem. weird that they would even let you update twice. luckily, mine went smooth like butter!

When I download this file, does it just run automatically? Seems to me like it hasn't started yet.

Edit: Went back into settings and tried to download update again. This time it prompted me to install. Which I did. Damn I never got that pop up after the initial download so I just sat here for 15 minutes for NOTHING.

Re: tip: OTA Update breaks disabling of HTC Sense

Go into settings/applications/manage applications and then go down to HTC Sense, and click it. Under Launch by Default, click the Clear Defaults button. Then go back to the Home screen and click the Home button. You should be prompted with a box to ask which you want to use.

thats waht im saying. you can't do that anymore. doesn't give "launcher" as an option now. maybe other launchers, but not the stock google one that was there before.

Re: tip: OTA Update breaks disabling of HTC Sense

Maybe we should get a thread going for problems after the upgrade. The Google wallpaper is no longer available. The Shootme app no longer works (You now have to be rooted now)

improves wifi, fixes unresponsive screen when ungrounded, facebook networking battery fix, something for exchange too

does anybody think scrolling through apps is snappier now?? lag is still there elsewhere, but i feel like app scrolling is more on point.
