No update on my phone either. Is it regional? I’m in the silicon valley.
Yeah, they usually are. It started today so give it some time =)
Nothing yet. This had better be true or else we are getting our torches and pitchforks and are going to find you Chris.
LOL! Hey, I’m just the messenger. Remember, T-Mobile said BEGININNING today, and the rollouts are usually regional.. =p
Shoot the messenger! j/k! Hope it gets to everyone soon.
You can’t kill a messenger! This… this is madness!
Madness? THIS IS PHANDROID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom’s HTC sensation is also a no-go on the update.
For gawd’s sake woman. You just don’t stop! >:O

any chance of you backing up your device and uploading it somewhere?
or still have the update file on your SD?
i’m in LA, the suburbs to be exact, nothing yet -_-
come one messenger, do something! haha
Not yet! Does anyone else feel like a kid on Christmas when phone updates come down??
you have a nice device
Yay!!
can i use this if im s-off or will it brick my device?
Does anybody know if Netflix will still work with this update?
“Software stability” this is a “New Feature” WTF?
oh, you’d rather your phone be (un)stable? makes no sense.
Still haven’t been able to update though I have an unbranded Sensation in Ireland and my friend on Vodafone IE has got it, what gives?
I litterally just got this on my phone now and went to look up what the updates our, cheers for the blog post about them! Do you have any idea on the percentage improvements…for example 5% battery life improvement?
nothing for me… lame
Edit, got it all 45 MB of it
Got. Vodafone uk.
If you’re on Vodafone UK – you should have had it two days ago.
downloading now
Before I even knew there was a software update I wanted to restore my Sensation to factory defaults. Then I read this thread and forced it to check with no luck. I went ahead and restored it to factory defaults and then checked for the update and it came up immediately.
Soooooo…if you want the update now, restore to factory defaults. It worked for me
Install took about 5minutes with a couple of reboots,
its 2.3.4 software number 1.45.531.1
Netflix prompted for an update, and works perfectly. Still have the old market, hope it updates soon.
Got mine in NY
Phone moving faster
I noticed that also, it better uses the dual-core 1.2ghz now. nice!
I haven’t found my phone buggy at all, but I just got the update in Seattle.

Just got it. Much better.
Got it on mine in Los Angeles

I was heading to Disney world low and behold my update came through and my phone is working great no lag faster and pixel r great way to go tmobile tested it against the g2x blew it out the water that dual core is ready!
Does anyone know if Netflix still works with this update?

Since getting the 2.3.4 update for the HTC sensation , there is now a 15 sec lag going from the web to the Home screen. What gives?!
