engadget story..... I have noticed in the past their news is pretty firm. not the gospel but pretty firm.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/sprints-htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-finally-coming-on-may-7/
This should be kept in the general threads. A mod will probably merge it with other 2.1 rumors. You are about the 3rd person to start a thread with a reference to this engadget article.
It's a paradox why people care about this.... what is so exciting about this?????????????????!!!!!!!!!

Its exciting because we'll have custom 2.1 roms based on the official 2.1 firmware for OUR phones, instead of just a leak.

What is this nonsense that people keep saying?
Prior to the MR I had a phone that couldn't output stereo sound through headphones, would randomly miss text messages (that would disappear forever, even after rebooting--a ridiculously serious problem), would stay awake 100% of the time and had terrible battery life, didn't have an easy way to switch calls back and forth from speakerphone, and an unreliable camera that failed to focus most of the time.
What issues are you talking about that were newly introduced? They certainly weren't worse than the ones that I listed above because I haven't noticed any.
Guys, the source of this article is the XDA forum!! Their info isn't any more "official" than our own!

that would be gizmodo
I was in best buy earlier and the two girls working mobile were joking around and not busy at all. So of course I had to go over and start chatting with them. It was my duty as a guy right??? Anyway, I figured that since I had seen this best buy screenshot I would bring it up. They both looked at me like I was crazy. One of them said that the Sprint Hero will never be upgraded to 2.1 and that Sprint and HTC never said it would be. She said the Hero that looks funny, like has the funny looking bottom that is like the g1, that version will get the update someday.
Anyway, I told her I had seen the screen shot from the best buy intraweb so she looked on her computer and said nope, no info on any 2.1 upgrade for the herol.
It'll happen when it does, I don't trust any of the leaks anymore. Just happy I have 2.1 now and it works for me.
Related
Alright, let's lay this to rest. 2.1 will not be out until May. Sprint started training on 2.1 on 04/19/10 and it runs 3 weeks. So we wont see it until mid to late May. Any one who has 2.1 in their phone, it's either a custom ROM or the 2.1 leak thats floating around.
you had to start a new thread for this?
You could have just posted it here

UPDATE: Cyanogenmod incoming. http://androidandme.com/2010/06/news/8-android-phones-will-get-froyo-early-thanks-to-cyanogenmod/
Dang, beat me to it. I was just going to link the adroidcentral article. Today is a great day for android!
all right! Devs get on it... oh wait, I forgot. Dev get on it.
I wish I knew more about all of this. We have a fully working kernel source for our 2.1 ROMs. Does that mean that porting 2.2 will be a snap, or am I missing something here?
Darch seems to be on it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6918210&postcount=1393
Darchstar said he would be able to get a working port for us by tomorrow xD I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
This is news to me: http://twitter.com/cyanogen/statuses/16869433998
Apparently Cyanogen himself is officially working on the HeroC? Is this new?
I just lost all respect for myself......
"froyo source dropped?" "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" *waves arms in the air then falls out of chair*
IRL.
FAIL.
I hope so. That would be great... Although we have great developers already here.

See this & it's reply.
Since Darchstar has a HeroC vendor tree already setup, this is the reason.
Wow. So I guess we get an official Cyanogenmod ROM in the near future. That November Evo upgrade eligibility date is suddenly hurting much less.
i'm feeling the same way!
I could still care less about the Evo. It's WAY too big IMHO. Who wants a brick in their pocket, apparently quite a few due, but whatever :-/
This definitely will make the wait for my next phone much easier. Now just need to decide which one I want next.

Just to comment on your question, the JI6 update could very well be needed for a clear and stable path to a froyo upgrade.
Sent from my BIONIX VIBRANT using XDA App
This is just another troll. The JI6 update will be rolled to everyone throughout October. There is no way Froyo is coming until everyone gets JI6, so at least not until November, chances are probably even later.
I second the ban. As people get banned for Froyo trolling, we will see less and less. (Hopefully.)
Thanks OP.

TBH, this actually would make sense. Hopefully J16 is just a gateway and we'll see Froyo by months end or Even Nov. Wasn't Nov the "speculated" date from the UK site?

If you don't believe him, good for you... but you don't need to get offensive and insult people, respect if you want people to respect YOU.
But he said don't take his word for it. I hope he is just being sarcastic, otherwise, it is pretty much just another trolling attempt.
Maybe its true maybe its not but the first guy on the forum that said he got an update got called a liar and all sorts of things until people noticed it was true I didn't see one apology to him either in my opinion I hope it is true and if it is thanks for the info and if its not maybe he just got bad info himself NO BIG DEAL!

You're certainly welcome to show these "slow devs" how it's done. C'mon what are you waiting for? What? Can't do better? Didn't think so.
lucky for us, the Nexus S is close close to our SGS that it will help alot with porting. I caught someone's twitter last night that had Gingerbread running on their Vibrant.
If you can't do this stuff yourself, you have no right making the statement that the people that are doing it are slow. If you could do it, you wouldn't be here bashing the ones that can.

They are working for free in their spare time. They owe you nothing.
No phone has a fully function version of Gingerbread. It will be a while before you can use it for everyday use.
