im not one to start rumors but this story was interesting even if it was regarding the euro hero
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/01/13/europes-htc-hero-to-get-android-2-1-mid-february/
AFAIK, the CDMA and GSM phones are actually very similar in software. The CDMA is pretty much a GSM phone that's been converted in software. Apparently the code is a mess with all the 'emulation' and transformation of stuff that takes place so it works on CDMA.
Either way, they did tweet that Sprint would get a 2.1 update anyway, so don't panic...
i knew our hero was getting the update but they(HTC,Sprint) gave a timeline as 1H of 2010. which is a lot room to swing.

Given the popularity of android even if google dropped the project (highly unlikely) an organized group of developers would most likely pick up the work and continue on with development. Hardware development around the OS would probably slow down and/or die without google backing the project anymore though.
When 2.1 update for hero, I think the andriod 3.0 has already come out. Andriod is not so good, need more to improve.

I've been on vacation and get back to see HTC has the 2.1 update and was surprised not to see more talk about it. So many threads about release dates and now its quiet. So who is using it and what are the pros and cons?
It's all about Froyo now.

No ones talking about it cuz its some bs. The official update didn't really do much. It is really fast and does fix some issues but nothing really. You lose root if you run root so if you want to try it use damages untouched version

I don't know what people were expecting, we've had 2.1 for months. My wife thinks it's cool tho, but she has a stock Hero and came from 1.5. The biggest change that I didn't realize was weather animation, I didn't know 1.5 didn't have them......
Everybody has been drooling and crying for 2.1 and now that its here all they can do is whine about wanting 2.2....there is just no pleasing some people........................

It's not that at all 2.1 was supposed to bring us live wallpapers, faster browser and so fourth but it didn't do any of that. It's ridiculus. And in the back of everyones mind we know that the only reason that sprint didn't deliver that was so everyone would choke up the money and get an evo or the less popular hardly heard of I1
After I installed the stock 2.1 ROM, my phone won't receive any calls. I can make calls, but not receive them. I spent over 2 hours yesterday with Sprint Customer Non-Service, and they were no help. I'm headed to the Sprint Store now to get my phone replaced, hopefully to a 1.5 so I can root that bad boy like I should have in the 1st place.
How come so many people thought we were getting live wallpaper and other advanced features of 2.1? Everything I read before going with a custom ROM was that neither moment or hero would get them because of weak specs.

LOL Regardless you are using all that senseless brain power for what? to annoy a few people who dont care about you on a online forum? Do you realize that? do you understand that i will go to sleep tonight and you will not even be on my radar? You will not even matter in any kind of existence what so ever. Your sole purpose as of right now is not even comprehend-able on this online forum. How does it feel when you get off your comfy chair at night and go to sleep knowing that you did absolutely nothing to contribute to any society what so ever. Im not sure you understand anything that goes on around you. Some people on this forum go to sleep thinking about their phones, some think about the next update or how they can contribute to this society...But no, not you, rather than say something useful you feel as if this society owes you something and we don't.
So go fly your little stealth fighter in your lonely world. Stay the **** out of ours.

Here's an idea, how about we make one thread with ALL rumors of OFFICIAL OTA TO EVERYONE NOT JUST TESTERS, etc.... so that we only have one place to get our hopes up. Deal is you have to say rumor, unless its clearly stating upgrade to 2.2/2.3, from a first party source, Sammy, sprint, or google. And if its a sprint employee rumor please clarify that that I the case, as I've seen they are either totally right, or totally misinformed for sales purposes. No ill will, just clarify your source, and exactly what the supporting evidence is.
Cheers!

Yah I thought you were 'encouraged' to donate when you made profit off open source work... which is what this really is... aside from flame wars every complaint about roms etc. Is development... maybe they do donate, but I would hope google as well as these sites donate to the cooks too... amazing what they do in a day compared to salaried workers.
Personally I feel that the 2.3 hopes are crap as of right now. Why do you ask? Well seeing that the Epic does not have an official 2.2 or a stable(bugs fixed) developed version of 2.2, 2.3 will not be working for a good amount of time. Don't get me wrong the developed roms are good so far, but there is room for improvement. Words to live by "live in the present rather then concentrating on the future"
seeing as there arent any good 2.3 rumor threads out, im hijacking this one. Apparently 2.3 is due on june 20th, according to most people in the web. However, today we were told that we might get an update today? what are your thoughts on this? wdm had a pretty good time frame for the 6/20 release date theory so for now that seems to be the most viable option.
thoughts?
Its not true the guy was trying too get people fired up

Less bug in their Driver (Bluetooth, Audio, SOC, WiFi), Modem/Radio, TouchWiz 3, and Android Sources in Froyo will give Samsung a faster way to upgrade.
In the future, after Samsung releases Froyo, expect shorter time to upgrade the Epic to (name an android delicious snack).
And because Samsung has own System on a Chip (hummingbird), Samsung has to develop drivers for SOC, it take a long time to find bug and fixing them for future upgrade.

Silly question... is there a Galaxy-S specific to S. Korea? I *know* it wouldn't be the i9000, because S. Korea is 100% CDMA. I'd expect *that one* to have the most active open-source activity, just b/c that's the model Samsung's own developers would be using in real life.
S. Korea is kind of strange... to Americans & Europeans, it looks closed & proprietary. In reality, it has an *incredibly* active homebrew scene. The problem is, Korean doesn't commonly Romanize loanwords, so if you can't read Hangul writing, it looks more alien than even Chinese, and way more foreign than Japanese usually does. And reinforcing the isolation, it's a big country with domestic dev scene that's big enough to keep most Koreans totally happy... for them, there's not much value to make the trouble of digging through English forums worthwhile.
I know this because I have a Robotis Bioloid robot. Their English software & docs are almost *ancient* compared to the Korean ones. Seeing the gap was very eye-opening.
Anyway, my point is that the sourcecode to the CDMA-related .ko modules we need for Froyo & Gingerbread is probably floating around in public *right now* on a site like XDA in Korea. We just need to find it ;-)

Are they even releasing Froyo or are they jumping straight to Gingerbread? At this point, might as well just skip Froyo all together, but seems Samsung hasn't ironed out all the bugs in even Froyo yet.
There will probably be a new Samsung phone out with Gingerbread by the time they get Froyo out for the Epic. Heck they'll prob release the second gen Epic 4G before Froyo comes out.
Reminds me of my frustrating days as a Palm owner. At least we have devs and roms for our Epic.

This reminds me of my last Android phone. I originally had a Hero, we didn't get an official 2.1 until after the EVO came out. Luckily CM6 came out blew the hero away. and then I blew mine apart, from about 300 yards, with a 30-06.

yeah... old post... I didn't see the date until after I posted it. Crap on me.... I had a retarded moment. LOL
I'm confused about something.. (unless recent rumors are true), couldn't samsung just release the source *unofficially* and have developers work on it? And then when their team is ready working out their own stuff, they/sprint can push out their own update?
It would be easier to have patience with Samsung if they actually gave one date and stuck to it. Instead we get Tweets, false rumors, and other phones updating before we get anything. Never again with Samsung.

But that's exactly the thing, my dear Nexus, we cannot get along. I wish too that we could, but with Apple, that's just never going to happen. I personally don't mind that they take stuff from Android, it's open source after all and free for the taking, but the way Apples takes it is just blatantly rude. They not only take it, but they also claim they invented it and were overly innovative and are also willing to go to court with whoever originally made it.
They have the USPTO on their pay roll and the fact that it's an American company, means the US will favor them over any other company.
As proven by the numerous law suits they are currently involved in against any competitors. Pretty soon they will have copyrighted and patented all the Android features they have just stolen and will be busy filing claims against half the world.
