http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/htc-hero-wont-see-upgrade-to-android-2-1-until-june-at-least-i/
Plenty of UK Hero owners were disappointed this morning upon hearing the news that free Google Maps Navigation had spread beyond the borders of the USA but required Android 1.6 as the minimum OS version. Stuck in their Android 1.5 world, they must have hoped that HTC would just hurry up and open the gates to Eclair heaven, but hurrying up is, regrettably, the opposite of what's happening. Tech Radar heard from a Google rep that the Hero's move to Android 2.1 won't be happening until June, and followed it up with HTC directly. The official response was that a free update for European Hero variants will indeed be provided "starting in June." At least this cloud of disappointment will only hang over Europe, as other territories -- like Taiwan -- might still get the update reasonably soon.
Take it for what its worth..
DO NOT POST CRAP ABOUT THIS BEING OLD NEWS.. Im just Passing the News....
REAL NEWS
I think this is old news because it's not from tomorrow.
I saw the latest report from my delorean after going 88 mph that there will be an update in may where will smith sings about it in a new album called 'Edison's Rainbow'
Oh sorry, that's for the hero cdma (sprint, others in usa) ...
Now THAT'S news!

Good afternoon everyone. Does the HTC Wildfire will be as desired Froyo? It would be fantastic...
So, nobody knows if the Froyo (Android 2.2) will equip the Wildfire?
As every review says, it won't. It will be 2.1 Android. And I heard some saying Froyo requires ARMv7 processor architecture and Wildfire has ARMv6. So...
And why do ya need this Froyo? So nifty features of Android 2.2?
Root it and create a custom rom with froyo (it's not realy tht simple but owell..)
with custom toms on the hero it can run froyo ad the wildfire is slightly faster than hero soo it should be able to run
Maybe...
I read about that possibility here:
The HTC Desire will be among the first batch of HTC phones to get an Android Froyo update. The Taiwanese handset slinger has confirmed that it and US phones like the HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G are in line for the icy upgrade. But others like the HTC Legend don’t get a name check…
In an official statement HTC says: “If your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version.” The statement then names the HTC Desire as among the initial chosen ones.
Other Android-packing HTC smarties like the HTC Legend and HTC Wildfire could still be in luck. The statement continues: “We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades.”
The statement foes on to note that HTC is working with Google and other partners to make sure that the HTC Sense UI plays nice with Android Froyo.
The long-delayed HTC Hero Android upgrade is apparently down to the difficulties of integrating Sense so we’ve got our fingers crossed that mixing it up with Froyo is a little easier.
HTC says its hopeful that all the Android 2.2 upgrades will be completed in the second half of this year. Let us know what phone and version of Android you’re currently toting.

Support HTC Wildfire Campaign
Are you are as fed up as me and countless other HTC Wildfire owners, waiting for the Froyo 2.2 update that is always coming but never gets here? I have a campaign running on my blog to demand a solid answer from HTC. As it stands HTC won't confirm or deny anything concerning this topic. Fair enough, they might be delayed and that would be forgiveable if they could at least be up front and reassure us that we will be getting the update, just a couple of months late. Please vote on my poll or add a comment. I am particularly interested in any responses you may have had from HTC in regards to this. Help to lobby HTC.
You can find the poll at: 'HTC Wildfire Android Heaven' (I am not allowed to post the url at the moment)
I wish they would hurry the **** with it tbh...

is this ever going to happen ? i know there were some rumours going on in march , saying tattoo will get the taste of 2.1 ... everyone said then than tattoo is going to get an update from 1.6 but nothing happened. is there ever going to be an official version of android 2.1 for tattoo ? thx
Give up the hope for an 2.1 update.
There were rumors. But they were nothing more than rumors.
This question was asked and discussed enough in different threads and the most threads came to the conclusion that we shouldn't wait for HTC to give us official 2.1
don't wait for that

and get disappointed again
If you dont want to get disappointed buy a HTC Desire Z
.. and exactly this is htcs strategy. Release no updates for old/low-end devices, so the customer hast to buy a new one, if he wants new software.
It wold be very nice, if they would open the 1.6 cam(fm,..)-drivers to us. So they could be ported to 2.2. But then everyone had a great phone and no one would buy a new/expensive one.
Next time I buy a device, i will think about, if I buy a htc or not, but the other companies do not much better.
greetz hanzsp4m
agreed. hopes for an update for tattoo are futile. Even Eris won't get updates anymore and it's a way newer device. we have a great community, we don't need HTC(except for the cam driver ).
tattoo will no more
greetz hanzsp4m is right
HTC don't want tattoo more
in India they promoting wildfire
shopkeepers suggesting buy wildfire ( hero almost same spec available at higher cost 1/3 more) wildfire don't disappoint you at tattoo price
they should discontinue tattoo
That sounds bad, hope your wrong.

so done worry guys well get a fully working cooked 2.2 rom soom for our tattoo
thanks

share cam and fm drivers
Does anyone tried to ask HTC developers for cam/FM kern modules? If rom cooking is legal thing (isn't it?), then they maybe share those modules for a discounted device. Maybe need enough ppl to ask.
Or just try unofficial way, by getting contact to one of the developers.
Personally i don't wanna sell my tattoo. I like it, however that upgrade is really need (ofc with working cam/fm).
Well i sent message to htc to ask them if there will be any update for tattoo and here is their answer
Dear Mr. Tino,
Thank you for contacting us,
Kindly be informed that for the time being there’s no information regarding any future upgrade for the HTC Tattoo, you can, however, visit the HTC website from time to time to keep track of any released software.
Please note that you can contact us via support line.

htc update
And I've got this mail from HTC:
Currently there is no plan to upgrade your phone to Android 2.1. The result of our analysis showed that an upgrade
to your phone may impact the user experience and we ultimately decided that an upgrade was not recommended.
Your phone will still receive support, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Back in June I purchased Tattoo believing Roumors.. here in India the retailers too promised me that HTC is coming up with updates. I purchased it and got rid of it within the first month. Purchased the Desire and the very same day 2.2 update was available
When HTC came up with Desire HD and new Sense UI I knew HTC would do exactly the same to Desire as it had done to its other phone. Desire Z and Desire have almost all the same specs infact Z has slower processor. But HTC has so far not released a comment if Desire will get the upgrade.
Long story cut short.. when HTC launches new phones it conviniently forgets to serve old customers.. but who the hell cares as long there is XDA team.. I am running RCMixHD v.14 on my desire and really dont care if HTC will provide an official update.
So all my friends using Tattoo just give up the hope of 2.1 from HTC. Root your phone and flash a custom ROM and dont complain if u brick ur phone
Good Luck.

maybe they have problems with camera too on 2.2??
I couldn't care less about HTC giving the Tattoo an update, but they could at least have helped giving us a working camera!
Stunned by htc Support
I've contacted HTC Support for Tattoo upgrade and they promised me that their technical team is working on it "very closely" but release plan is not available. I contacted them quite a few times now... and really stunned by their idiotic answers...
I've posted my conversation with them on a blog stunnedbyhtcsupport[dot]wordpress[dot]com [I couldn't post the link as I'm a new user] (You can visit my homepage)
You can see how stupid answers they are providing to their customers...
I've given up all hopes for any official support for Tattoo now and I've purchased a Motorola android device. Will never come back to HTC.

Really HTC support is crap...
HTC ignores its user
Thanks to HTC. Such ignorance can not be overlooked. I had a similar experience with Nokia. Now I will bought a Samsung, I'll see if they are more honest.
HTC Desire Gingerbread update 'in testing' (from Androidcentral.com)
As promised, HTC has offered Desire owners some news on the status of the phone's Android 2.3 Gingerbread update, saying they've begun testing on it this week. In a post on its official Facebook page, the manufacturer said --
Hi all- We're excited to share that we are testing our build of Gingerbread for HTC Desire and will start doing quality assurance for it this week. When we have an update on availability we'll post another announcement. Thanks for your support!
There's still no word on which apps have been cut to allow HTC to cram Gingerbread and Sense onto the Desire's 512MB of internal storage, nor any official comment on reports that Aussie carrier Telstra plans to ditch Sense entirely to get Gingerbread on its Desire handsets. For its part, Telstra is now echoing today's statement from HTC, saying the software is "in testing", and listing an August release window.
hopefully the testing will be done soon and the kernels on htc's website..i'm so excited and im not even a DEV!
well, let's wait and see whats coming out ;-)
just as reference: a link for those who are facing any difficulty to root their device( including other devices as listed in the thread)
follow the guide and root your motorola, hope to have at least a bunch of roms for this dummy soon...:-|
if any one knows about exactly which recovery works great and perfect for 508 instead of defy and flipout, would be highly appreciated, also if you can please direct to the link of any rom( already been tested) like modified eclair with more space( like 100 mb plus apps to sd and possibly 2nd partition to SD Card, would be a charm to use this device)
thanks in advance
