...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.....

who cares at this point with an actual leak of a sprint release candidate now.
I seen that...
I have a friend that works for Motorola and I asked him, "Hey, when is the update coming?" He said, "Oh, 2.2 will be coming in about two months." Then I specified for the Sprint Hero and said last he heard was around the end of next month but to not get my hopes up because these things are never set in stone.
But 2.2 right after we get 2.1?

I'm sure alot of people here care cause when the official update comes out there might actually be a truely bug free custom ROM, not these ROM's that say "100% working!" followed by 500 pages of bug reports. Just saying
Taiwan is not a country. It belongs to People's Republic of China or Republic of China.

I am waiting for the oficiella version, (modified roms here now have too many bugs) even if it takes in the autumn
But I am impressed by chef´s which has done a great job for us to test version 2.1
there's more chance of a dual booting iPad running Android 6.4
coming out than a timely update for the hero lol. September doesn't seem so bad, my contract is up for renewal then..Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
There are already many threads to the update!
We have to wait,I think all other speculations,
because HTC seems to be unsure themselves!
so, is it tomorrow then? on the 16th??

if you don't have a source for that you could be so kind to mark it as sarcasm somehow, not all newbies get it necessarily.
So whats special with that update
Custom roms are better anyway
How many of you guys will update to the official ROM...and stay using it...
Like i said Custom roms is still better

No sarcasm, I have a friend who's working at a phone house who told me. That's, by the way why I don't trust the other source who's telling everybody 16th of April (and now, like magic, end of april!).
BTW: Is it that bad that newbies wouldn't get it? People are announcing wrong dates almost everyday and my indication gets flagged somehow?
This was the only official statement from HTC regarding something new for Hero, all the rest was whishfull thinking, rumours and foolish comments:
Press Release from February 16th
Availability
The new HTC Legend will be available in Europe through Vodafone and in the direct channel beginning in April. It will roll out to other parts of the world including Asia in early Q2. HTC Desire will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets in early Q2. The HTC Desire will be exclusively available in Australia through Telstra. The enhanced HTC Sense experience will also be offered as a free upgrade on the HTC Hero in Europe and Asia.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, the dates for Legend and Desire were very precise, a date for the enhanced experience on Hero was intentionally left open ...
I got this info in a sms today from my operator Ventelo:
Information from Ventelo:
HTC will shortly come up with an updated version of the operating system on some of their mobile phones. The update must be loaded directly onto the phone, and is 100Mb. Ventelo therefore recommend that users of these mobile phones updates via wireless networks and mobile networks.

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...

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.

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

And for those who still hoping for MT on SE devices, let me give a no hope. SE latest device X8 which may already or about to be release DONT HAVE MT lol lol, do your little brains think this is because it's not H/W supported lol lol lol with today tech lol lol lol. SE will never enable this function (bells ring yet...something to do with Apple).
Want a better device with the latest Android OS (or fully upgradeable) with awesome manufacturer support then go with HTC. what, no money! go and get a job.
ROFL lol.
Any offer.
This is from steve at dells twitter page
Latest on 2.2 update: We are working on some adjustments based on customer feedback and will continue the rollout shortly.
Update
Looks like those who have 2.2 will get an updated and fixed 2.2
Good to know.
Anyway, DJ Steve rules
Hopefully they thuroughly test the update before actually releasing it.
