http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/htc-dream-rogers-police-sm.jpgSo Rogers and HTC have worked with the kind of hustle you don't normally see from carriers or manufacturers to fix a rather dangerous glitch in their branded versions of the Dream (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/16/rogers-yanks-htc-dream-from-shelves-for-urgent-emergency-call-fi/) and Magic (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/rogers-htc-magic-having-911-call-problems-on-rogers-too/) causing calls to 911 to fail with GPS enabled -- and needless to say, you're going to want to apply the upgrade on the double. Why? Well, the problem's so dangerous that Rogers has taken the unusual step of vowing to disable internet access altogether for anyone failing to apply the "mandatory" patch by 6AM today (but don't worry, you should get it back as soon as you've upgraded). For their troubles, affected customers will be credited one month's worth of data -- and Magic owners will be delighted to discover that their phones have magically received HTC's Sense UI (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SenseUI/) as a result of this whole ordeal. All's well that ends well, right?Rogers rolls out fixes for 911 problems with Dream and Magic, cuts off data for non-upgraders (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/24/rogers-rolls-out-fixes-for-911-problems-with-dream-and-magic-cu/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sun, 24 Jan 2010 06:35:00 EST.
