Nowhere there did it mention the Sprint HTC Hero.

Someone else, already posted in another thread, screenshots from Sprint's database, clearly stating the update in May.

This article (link) states that Sprint has been telling customers early May.

Big deal..what does this release include that we do not already have?

Seriously. Thanks to these guys, I'm so happy with my phone now I don't care if they ever *OFFICIALLY* release 2.1

I wonder what the screenshots of this mean then

Please before you start yet another thread about when the update is coming, follow the link in your reference article. If you would have, then you would have seen that this was referring to the hero in the UK and not the sprint hero.

i think it's funny how many "official" news comes out, with the umpteen "in the know" employees and stuff surfing these forums... maybe I should put a "" around employees as well...
I'll believe it when I see it

I called the 26th of April

Look what I just found 10 minutes ago........

An audio fix that doesn't require you to restart your phone because it's audio server crashes.

I don't think they forgot, so much as omitted.

Probably mid-June

The official release sounds like it's going to be June but as Cyanogen pointed out on Twitter yesterday, Froyo source is already tricking into AOSP which means between now and release, CM will have more and more Froyo features.

there is a beta, right?
Engadget says they got a beta of both 2.2 and adobe's 10.1 flash player on their demo phone. If Adobe and google are sending these out, someone is going to dump the ROM and it will be available here. I'm itching for some frozen yougart...

It says here we can update OTA starting today. If I go to my phone settings and about and click on update it says I am up to date.

well this keynote isn't over yet, maybe they will mention it before it ends (release date).

the keynote isn't over. they'll announce the date at some point today.
Don't expect the release to be today. It's most likely in june.

So... you have sole rights to speculate about the release date? That's all anyone here is doing, there is not official or even leaked word about the date from anyone in the know. It's just based on Adobe's June release for Flash 10.1.
If someone posts a thread about the release, feel free to complain to them for double-posting but not the rest of us who are just helping the people that don't know how to search.

Supporting devices
Nexus One owners will be delighted to learn that Android 2.2 is available as an OTA update beginning today. Google also confirmed that late model devices like the Motorola Droid, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire and HTC Incredible are scheduled to get the update soo

I watched the presentation and that wasn't mentioned, unless it was at the very beginning when the audio was dead.

Well thats two different sites saying the same thing.. maybe it will come out today? Who knows...

Guess what - its June tomorrow

...and what does that mean?
Sod all, I imagine

And it doesn't mean what we all wants... 2.1... it simply means that HTC will delay the release further and further... and ultimatley not at all...

Well Sprint and Verizon did get them...........

Well, at the end of the day I won't use the official HTC 2.1 ROM.
I'm very happy with Cronos Droid which gives excellent speed as well as root access, the latter never available with stock ROMs.

Some of the unofficial 2.1 ROMs with newer kernels are getting so good now that for those who root it really matters not. For me SenseHero is spectacular.

So, its June.
Where do we download the official 2.1 from then?

There will be no update to Eclair in June.
HTC will postpone the second OTA update to July, then to August etc.
We've been ****ed with and have to accept it.
HTC has stopped supporting GSM Hero. That is the bitter truth.

+1 for this, we're ****ed up with a support-****y company... but whatever, does any1 have the link with the official (and i mean the real official) News about the Hero which should get the 2.1 Android Update?
Regards

I don't know. I had the info from the E-mail support which, clearly, lied to me.

They said "early June" so let's wait for a few days...

Why not sign the 'Eclair Update Petition' on the Market? or join in the #wheresourheroupdate on Twitter!

I agree with bluesax, there is a lot of negativity to HTC's support - whilst I agree it is crap, we have given them 22hrs (using the international date line...) so far to provide from the start of June. Yes okay, they have messed us around, but it is too soon to start saying that they haven't given it to us yet, so we are obviously being fobbed off.
I trust (don't know why...) that they will give us the update, and hope they will releases patches as time goes on.
But that's just me.....

Confirmation **Fascinate Update Around the 10th, OTA**

Just spoke to Samsung Rep and was told we will get an update next week around the 10th and IT WILL BE FROYO. It will also be Over the Air (OTA) not Samsung Kies.
Here is the exact transcript:
Visitor: I heard there will be one on the 10th
Visitor: Is that true?
Sylvester: Yes, there will be an update, but we can not speculate the exact estimated time of arrival as this would to inaccurate information and confusion.
Sylvester: However you will get a notification on to your device as it is an over the air update.
Visitor: What will the update bring?
Sylvester: It will come with more features for the phone.
Visitor: Such as? FroYo?
Sylvester: Yes, it will be Froyo.
Visitor: Will I get the update this week or next week?
Sylvester: It should be available in the next week.

sweet, if true. Been waiting to root for this to come first.

Well. That's a relief. But only those on DI01 on the stock ROM are getting it...
Plus you will probably lose root.
In other words, if you like being unrooted, wait for a dev to repackage it.

this is confirmation of nothing....how many people have heard from this person and that person about dates....while it d be nice to be wrong on this....i think anyone with half a brain realizes it wont be froyo but dl09 or something comparable

thats just a regurgitation of the android central article that says an update is coming and its listed as mr2...which has been first dj05 then dl09 now something comparable

I've seen so many of these threads across the message boards. So many confirmed dates have come and gone.
Move along.. nothing to see here

Ill believe it when i see it because on andriod central they had a screenshot of the VZW and it said 1/10/11 Samsung Fascinate MR2 meaning maintenance release 2 aka DL09 or DJ05
who cares anyway we have both of those MR already and birdman and Jt are compiling GB

EDIT: I now have to retract this sarcasm because I also had it (supposedly) confirmed. We'll just have to wait and see.

Can someone tell me why a MR has to be DJ05/DL09 and can't be Froyo? VZW has released MR updates for windows mobile devices to take them from WM6.1 to WM6.5 or similar jumps in the WM world, and they were classified as a maintenance release. Why can't Froyo be a MR update as well? Do I think the update will be Froyo, no, but I don't see why a MR can't be Froyo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I totally agree, Verizon labels ALL of there updates "MR."

*could* it be froyo? sure why not....chances of that? ridiculously small.
i think that everything we've seen has said mr2 was dj05...then it was dl09....it would stand to reason that something similar was still coming out
but who knows
i think it would be better for all of us if these speculation and "inside" information threads were stopped though

I thought i had froyo on my phone since i bought it and i was getting gingerbread on it......

I got on Samsung's website to chat with a rep just for ****s and giggles. Surprisingly, he also confirmed the update is Froyo. Here is our conversation ....
John: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: There is alot of buzz going around about an update for VZW Fascinate
Visitor: Will it be Froyo?
John: I understand that you want to know if Froyo be available for your phone, am I correct?
Visitor: I know you can't speculate, so I wanted to know if you had any concrete info
John: Yes, it is the Froyo update and it will fix all the issues.
John: This should become available in the next few days.
Visitor: Gotcha. You guys are definately confirming it is Froyo .... no speculation.
John: Yes.
Visitor: Thank you.

I think where there is smoke there is fire. There has been so much going on lately from the false 2.2 webpage update and kies update, to the leaked update information and now the reps actually confirming dates. Leads me to believe there is a good chance it will be froyo.

I'm not confident in verizon's ability to keep a froyo leak from slipping out so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Two reps have now been asked look at the first post and the post before yours. Two different reps. We are for sure getting FroYo. The reps used to say we can not speculate but now they are giving us an exact date. I am sure that Samsung does not want to screw this up again.

"These are not the Droids you're looking for"...

Better question is whether it changes anything for the DEVs. Does it make it easier to develop Froyo/Gingerbread?

Oh, I see that the Sprint admin posted that.
Hopefully that is a typo and he meant 9AM. A couple people have already gotten the update.

I guess you go to about phone and update firmware and if the firmware is ready it will give it to you?

Personally I am doubting that the rumors of anyone getting the update already are true. I can't imagine that with as many people who are watching and waiting for this that nobody who is on any of these forums has gotten anything yet.
I have been sitting here toggling back and forth between forums thinking just that and then I saw the 9pm time and it all made sense.
