Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...

Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................

With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows

I already have it thanks damage

good, it's about time, tired of watching people get LEAKS and then not sharing the source...

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update

ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1

sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that

any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?

no ONE cares anymore

Once every single bug has been worked out of DamageControl, Sprint will pull it off XDA and release it.

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!

Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)

Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying

honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Wow, that's interesting, I dont know whether to believe it or believe the support guy/gal was confused by the question and didnt know how to answer, so he/she just gave something generic

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.

Samsung Moment gets 2.1 official???

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!

I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

i know im so using those =P
and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.

Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Im a hero user, and it urked me.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...

All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything

This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

New Froyo Release Date Rumors???

Anyone seen anything??

People could really careless about rumors at this point we rather see actually facts after the endless threads of froyo rumors and getting nothing especially after the last one stating froyo on the 26th.

Waaaaa Waaa lol i just want to know what the next possible release date is. stop crying. Most of us already have froyo and if you dont have the balls to install any of the roms then thats why you dont even deserve froyo........

What issues are you having?

Froyo will be released tomorrow. There is your rumor.
Seriously, why the hell would anyone care about rumors at this point? Rumors have been wrong like a dozen times between September and December at this point. Rumors are worthless, and literally everyone who claims to have knowledge is either lying to you or doesn't actually have knowledge of the release date. It will come when it will come. Rumors just serve to piss people off when they turn out to be false, which they all do.

I'd love it if for once people would stop posting this type of thread over and over. Give the **** a break for real dudes. It will come out when it does. If you can't take it, can't deal with it then its simple get another phone with 2.2 or switch to another provider!
Whiners! mwaahh wheres 2.2 omg when will it come out?... oh no wheres 2.2!?!?!?!

Another Froyo update...

So... I was finally able to talk my wife into updating her horrible mytouch 3g. The only thing she was willing to get was the mytouch 4g. No problem, seeing as how she cares nothing about tweaking or mod'n her phone. I am however a little surprised with her new phone. It came out of the box with 2.2.1, which makes it very snappy with a 1743 quadrant score.
Now getting to the point of this topic. We just came from our local T-mobile store buying the spousal unit a case for her new phone and while there I asked the rep...
Me: "So when can I expect to have 2.2 on my vibrant?"
Rep: "It's already out. My buddy over there has it already."
Me: "I know you CAN get it, but i'm referring to the official release."
Rep: "Ohhhh (puzzled look while looking around). It should be first quarter?"
I just thought this was funny while it transpired. What he secretly meant was 1st fiscal quarter which ends in just 4 days time. I know for a fact that he knows what he is talking about. (Laying the sarcasm on pretty thick)
Just thought I would share this. I hope no one jumps on this thinking I am posting that I actually received the update. Have a great evening all!

Yeah a reps told me that too.

But might as well edit you're first post and erase it all.
people here have been fed enough lies so now they'll start bashing the OP.

Yep, file with "i know a guy....".
I'm sure he had no clue what you even meant by 2.2.
The epidemic continues.

Froyo really might be near because the leaks are getting better and better. But i don't expect it to come less than a month.

Eh... let em bash away. I wasn't claiming to know any inside intel. I wanted to share a funny story ;-)

Dont see where it gets funny.

I found it kind of funny where the rep said it's already out, even though he knows there's been no Official release.

Notice something different in Kies mini. The firmware upgrade data was 2010-10-01. Now it becomes 2010-12-29, however it still says my JI6 is the latest version. Probably they're updating the file on server. Hope so...

Ehhh the rep was probably some high school kid that doesnt know squat. I love going into TMobile cause most of the reps are clueless.....its good for a laugh.

CEO confirms Evo 3d will be unlocked

how could it be since the phone are ready to ship? wouldn't this delay the launch? the more acceptable thing to do would be to give the devs instructions or fix it via an OTA.

Ahh a hole in the conspiracy theory. Is Lloyd hiding in the grassy knoll?
Seriously, you guys can be upset with HTC but, they could have gave some generic reason as to why they are locking their phones and eventually things would have died down. They wouldn't have really suffered from it.
Instead, they went in the other direction. I give them credit for that. All this does is keep me as a customer.

Setting a nice precedent here!

Yes, sir. Absolutely. This means devs will be able to cook roms, kernels and any other goodies we are enjoying on the current Evo......and more.
