I haven't seen anything on my droid yet, should I expect it at some later time today?
I've root my Droid before than restored it back to stock, will that affect whether my Droid will get an update or not?
Ok just because Verizon said the update is getting pushed today doesn't mean you will get it today. Everyone will be on a different schedule and could take up to 10 days or so before everyone has it. Before you jump the gun, be a little patient.
Also, might I suggest reading this site and see if the people that got it had a similar setup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757899

"A maintenance release is being developed for the Hero to address key items such as SMS and DST issues. The target launch is in the next few weeks, but I do not have the exact date or a list of everything that will be included yet. I will post updates as they are made available to me.
Please note: This is not a 1.6 or 2.0 upgrade. I will post news about OS upgrades when I get it."
cool, at least something is coming
When this comes out, should rooted users hop on it immediately, or is there a chance they could sneak something in it to block root access?
There is a chance...you can wait until others more brave to try it. Or take a nandroid backup right before, try it and if it doesn't work...restore! (and poof, you're back and rooted again)
Im sure once this is out we can incorporate it with a custom rom.
its good to know they addressed the issues people are having even though I never experienced most of them.
LOL @ Sprint. They just have dirt on their face because Verizon has a scheduled release date for the moto droid fixes. What a bunch of clowns. Handcent has released 5 or more updates to their software since the CDMA Hero has been released and they work for free. I swear they waited for us to root, so they could kill two birds with one stone. This is good news but I won't be in a rush to see if it works.

Just from experience, markets across seas always get it first. Does that mean that it will be after April 26th before the Sprint Hero gets the 2.1 update?
i not surprised if this is true with sprint getting the nexus and the powerhouse is being left in the wind
If this is overseas, this could be 2 or 3 months till the sprint htc hero updates.
I told you to root and flash DamageCotrol v1...

Why so pessimistic?? I'm not sure if you guys are right or wrong, but the article DOES say we'd be getting it soon after, why so scared?
Besides...once Taiwan leaks the Hero ROM, won't that be the same as when they release it for our phones? Am I wrong or isn't the overseas Hero the same but with GSM? Shouldn't we be able to perfect the 2.1 ROMs with that? I mean that would be pretty damn close with having the Eris leak as well, I don't know but I just don't see why to be scared and why to not get excited to see the actual overseas leak.

Because TODAY was our original speculation date. So after seeing this, it appears we have a month or more to wait. The biggest thing is that we havent been given a confirmed date and its getting tense.
Anyway, I just posted this for others to see something new.

Well....
Keyword-Speculation..
Stop speculating and you won't be upset...
It's not like 2.1 is going to bring an all new world, once it comes out we're just going to be inundated with well.. what now threads an hour after everyone updates..
Patience is a virtue...
didn't some self proclaimed "sprint employee" leak that date? (i've been looking, maybe they edited their original post)
But I'm going to take everything I read in the future from such sources with an extra grain of salt on top of the first. In other words... POIDH
A couple sites are saying April 9th (now), because Sprint is apparently issuing some network updates then,

Start running the ROMs and I think you'll chill a lot more. Plus if ANY Hero gets updated, I bet the ROMs will be perfected a little more which is still something to look forward to.
I honestly have been on DC 1.0, and yeah not everything works, but then what will work with 2.1? Will we have LWP? The builds we have may even have more than the 2.1 Sprint will give us. I mean keeping LWP off our phones but on the Nexus still keeps a reason to make us upgrade. Which means we need to hack it
Listen guys, I didnt put any exclamation marks in any of my posts. I was just simply bringing up what I found for some discussion on peoples thoughts. I am currently running Fresh Toast 2.0c and completely happy with it. This isnt to start a battle about how pissed I am, just hadnt seen anyone post this little tid bit.
Sprint 1st said first half of the year, then updated to beginning of 2nd quarter, so between April 1st to May 14th. Want some advice? Stop putting so much stock on the rumors and wait for an official date. Sprint is notorious for terrible communication and missing dates so don't expect 2.1 sooner rather than later.
Yes this pisses me off too but it doesn't do any good getting worked up over rumors proving to be false. Personally, the spreading of rumors are more upsetting than the holdout for Sprint.
Jeez you guys cant read. I never said I was pissed off, I just wanted to discuss the date since there was a confirmed one in Taiwan. Im emailing a mod now to close this. FACK!!
Closed at OP's request.
Well, I decided to upgrade my POS WinMo Touch Pro 2 and turn to the "Darkside" with Android. My gf has an Android phone, and I can't put it down. After seeing all the free or low cost apps compared to Windows' high dollar, non existent app collection, I had to make the change. I'm waiting for them to start shipping the X's out on the 3rd, so hopefully I'll have mine soon enough. I feel like I'm counting down until Christmas like a 5 year old, although I'm sure some of you have had WinMo before and can understand my anxiousness to have an Android.
First question about the X; are there any updates I should get first thing? I know with WinMo you lose all your apps when you upgrade the firmware so I'd like to get it all done ASAP.
Second; I know it hasn't been announced "officially" yet, but when can I expect 2.2 to be available to the X? I know there are rumors going around, but what is the best guess?
Thanks!
I just got my droid X a couple of days ago and there was an over the air update available. As for froyo 2.2, last thing I read said late august.Hopefully no delays on that.
1. Once you get your DX there should be an OTA update waiting to you like irod87 stated.
2. Froyo (2.2) should be dropping late August early September due to the difference in hardware on the DX, requires more froyo testing by Verizon before releasing.
*Sidenote: once froyo hits, you'll never have to worry about losing your apps, froyo backs up your apps.*

Ok cool, thanks for the heads up.
Have they fixed the "unlock phone" lag? I have heard, and seen it on a store model, that there is a slight jump/delay when you unlock the screen. Does that OTA update resolve that or is that expected in 2.2?
congrats on getting the X, first thing I would do is root the phone, then all the phone begins... There should be an OTA 2.2 update for your new phone sometime in august most likely the 2nd weeks.
I've seen lots of information flying around on Engadget and the like about HTC 2.2 updates forthcoming, but I have yet to see anything at all about the Aria.
Does anyone have any idea if HTC / AT&T intend to update the Aria to 2.2? Of course I know if they don't, we have some guys working hard on unofficial versions. Just would like to know if we'll get anything official...
HTC has stated they're working on it, and they "hope to have it done by christmas" but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to get thru HTC and AT&T for the Aria by then. Last I can remember, the HTC Wildfire was listed as getting the update and the Aria is very similar to said device. I also recall hearing that HTC said all the devices released past a certain point this year (Aria falls within this range) will be getting 2.2. I'm sure the Aria will get it, but again, I wouldn't hold my breath, CM6 will most likely be in full functioning order before official Froyo
Will definitely be trying out CM6 as soon as it gets in a little more working order! Definitely not holding my breath on HTC + AT&T...especially not the AT&T part of that equation.
Nothing official about the Aria, but HTC Evo is getting some official 2.2 Froyo loving tomorrow.
Maybe with that, we can hope for an earlier release for the Aria.
I wont hold my breath, the Motorola Back flip have been out for how long and its still on the launch firmware. ATT will take their sweet time when HTC releases it to them, best chance is that someone here gets their hand on is and bakes a 2.2 with HTC Sense rom for Aria users to flash with.

Considering how the Backflip went, this isn't surprising. Why could a company back a device that isn't doing much on it's own already?
Might be coming sooner than some of you expect. HTC seems to be getting serious about froyo

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/htc-will-ship-all-android-phones-in-china-with-froyo-on-board-f/
Granted we'll have to deal with att.
I think we will see one, but it will be a pain to install. The phone, for whatever reason, cannot accepted over-the-air (OTA) updates... there's no option in the settings to see if there is an update like most other android phones. HTC has said you will need to use HTC sync to upgrade. (Though I'm sure many of the people here at xda will have no problem loading the ROM via Sync or other ways, for regular users this could be a pain.)
Thought I'd share. I found this bit of info on the htc support forums in the aria section.

Whne there is an update for the Aria-it will have to be loaded from a PC to your device. The good news is that after the first update for the Aria, Firmware Over The Air will be implemented so that any subsequent updates will arrive to your device over the Air once their are released. Currently, there are no updates for the Aria OS-they are in the works.
So it is quite possible we may be getting froyo because she said it's "in the works." One of the other HTC forum moderators said it may take a while because it will be "tested and approved" by att and that we'll need to update it via sync.
So from what I understand, she said after the first update, there will be more updates released OTA. Froyo is gonna be a sync update so when she says any subsequent updates will arrive, does that mean she's hinting we'll be getting updates past froyo? Maybe we'll be able to get 3.0 ;P I mean what other updates will there be? lol
I'd LOVE to get 3.0, but I'll be happy with 2.2.
There is a post at Unwired review (can't post link until my account is verified.. not sure if there is a way to 'request' to be verified), but it's from Unwired Review. Just google "Android 3 Gingerbread."
But then there was an update to the post:
Update: I posted an update to this post, where I address Dan Morrill’s tweet, and do some corrections/clarifications regarding the upcoming Android update number issues, “minimum” specs – thay are actually only “recommended”, and the the split between high end Android 3 – low end Android 2.2 devices – it’s not an official Google policy, but it is happening nonetheless.

So could we get it? Yes. And I think with the speed htc is pushing out the updates, it's not a question for them of "do we update the aria," it's the same question for many of their phones, since so many htc android phones are similiar inside and out.
Froyo for the Aria is something I have been looking forward to for a while now, and seeing it any later than October would be a huge letdown.

we all know that motorola keep ignoring us on the EU side on the xoom.
forget the 3.1 update for the moment. we don't even have a stock rom to restore yet.
wondering will it be better if we get a petition going to google so that google can give motorola some pressure to give us more attention? maybe on the 3.1 updates?

If you set one up, I'll sign it.
This is my first Motorola for a very long time (said I wouldnt by from them again after discovering the build quailty of their phones years ago), I would not have brought it if I have known this would be the situation.
I may yet ditch it for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 when it comes out, unless this get sorted. Its very poor, I've had my Galaxy S2 for two weeks and its already have two firmware updates and has had a recovery rom from day 1.
sure, i would love to setup one up, but unless there is a big amount of ppl "liking" it, i don't think it will help.
i will set one up anyway and update the post later.
