This fix, as told by HTC, is for the following issue-

SMS TIMESTAMPS DISPLAY AN INCORRECT YEAR
This is a known issue. Please follow the instructions below to download and install a hotfix that will correct this issue. The hotfix will resolve the issue causing incoming SMS messages to display the incorrect year, and it will correct the incorrect year on SMS messages that were received prior to installing this hotfix.

Interestingly, HTC advises you to make sure your device is in Airplane mode while installing this patch. I installed it without being in airplane mode on my Touch Pro2 and everything is working fine.

Please note that-

  • This hotfix will need to be reinstalled if the device is hard reset. Also, the hotfix cannot be installed again until the device is hard reset.
  • If any software was installed to bypass the MCTS functionality of the device, the device may need to be hard reset prior to this hotfix being installed.

With Working Data? https://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/06/so-you-want-android-on-your-touch-pro-with-working-data/ https://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/06/so-you-want-android-on-your-touch-pro-with-working-data/#comments Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:23:43 +0000 http://www.ppcgeeks.com/?p=1221 So with all the buzz about Droid, I have really started wanting one. Or at least a phone with Android OS and a physical keyboard. But I don’t have Verizon… Not to worry, XDA-Developers came to the rescue!

Introducing Android on the Touch Pro!

“What’s different than the android package that has been around for a while,” now you ask? Aside from working data, not too much. They still haven’t fixed several bugs such as the inability to charge while in Android, but the working data is a BIG improvement!
