New update for Hero in middle of march, yeah right?

Here it is! Middle of march! Where the f***k is an official update?

HTC is going to get shot because there's another rumor that it won't be out til mid April.

Surprised??? HTC doesn't have a very good track record for firmware releases.

Agreed. Its not the middle of March, its 12th March. And in what HTC statement have they said a release will be delayed? Have patience...

So why don't you put a 2.1 ROM on your phone in the meantime? There are loads of good ROMs recently released that are based on the Eris or Legend dumps. There are also loads of guides on how to root and how to flash. Thats what I've done and I am satisfied.

you didn't actually expect it to come in Mid March did you?
I've learnt to take these things with a pinch of salt, HTC are too busy pushing out new phones to be bothered with us early HTC adopters.
Play with some 2.1 ROMs in the meantime, althought quite why we need so many is beyond me. Devs should combine features instead of competing with each other.

I have put a lot of 2.1 ROMs on my phone currently i am running VillainROM 3.3 and its very good.
But this is not a point of this thread. i am angry on htc and their rumors.

Well yeah actually, the middle of March is the 15th!!! So... HTC have still time to release it, and if they do, then this is a wasted thread!
If you beleive that HTC are really 'playing' with you, then don't bother with your phone, sell it and buy something else... maybe one that never gets updated?!?
Relax and wait for it, I'm sure it will be worth it. There are plenty of 2.1 Roms to try already. We are all eager to see the official release... you're not alone.

I'm using behnaam's latest Legend ROM 1.3.1 and its ok for me at the moment - I haven't found any real bugs that stop me enjoying Android 2.1 until the official release.
But I'm afraid that no matter how much we complain here or to HTC, its not going to change anything. HTC will release the update when it is ready. If they feel a release needs to be delayed they will delay it. Threads like this will not change things.

Thread closed!

I think you've answered your own point here:
HTC Sweden that says the Android 2.1 release is not “set in stone” and expect it “around April”
HTC have never set a release date in stone, and so we'll have to wait for them. As I said, no matter how much we complain, it won't change things.
And yes, mods please close this thread, its pointless.

Did you test the 2.1 roms that are out now? They are so much faster than stock 1.5, that's the main reason why I'm looking forward to the official release.

Calm down, they will release an update when finished. I don't think it's HTC who spread news on the Internet. It's people who spread rumors.

I really don't believe all the whining, what the hell?
1) It isn't even 'the middle' of March yet, if you're going to be day exact.
2) if someone _would_ say 'middle of march' I never _ever_ saw people starting to complain the moment the '15th' hit and the promised thing wasn't there. Must be something specific to Hero users I think.
3) The most official statement we ever got (and the only one, forgot all the 'february' crap rumours that started somewhere) said 'in march', not the middle. Regional Director HTC Benelux called it 'medio maart' in dutch, which translates to something like 'somewhere in march'.
I really can't believe the hate posting that starts _every_ _single_ _time_ again, primarily on XDA, but also on HTCPedia and MoDaCo. Do people have nothing better to do than wait for a software for their phones?!?

2.2 OTA for mt3g announced?

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/06/mytouch3g-users-youre-wish-is-about-to-come-true/
Ran into this article and it made my day. I really hope this is true, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It looks legit though.
Edit: could this be the "something big" that tmobile said was happening on the 19th?

I've heard somewhere that anything released 2009 and after will have a 2.2 update given to it.

HTC said that *most* of the phones launched in 2010 would get the upgrade. Until now, no other 1st generation phone has had any sort of confirmation for fryo (besides the ION).

... which would be enough since its a 32B and therefore compatible with DREAM. In fact, it would be BETTER than a tmobile OTA since it won't be polluted with the tmobile junk and will come with root.
Watch here for updates for this device: http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

Great news that Android 2.2 will be added onto the MyTouch.
With that hopefully Cyanogen can get his hands on it as well and get it going for our G1s as well

He is already out with it. It is still under test and lot of things are broken in it, but if you wanna try Froyo just for the heck of it, you can on G1 and Mytouch

Actually, what this will mean is that we will be able to get a STABLE 2.2. The state of "cyanogen stable" is actually extremely unstable.
It would be nice to have an OEM 2.2 build just with a few extras... you know, the things that you actually use rather than just jamming in all the bling you can imagine.

You seem to be confused.
There are 2.2 "ports", based on the EMULATOR IMAGE that comes with the SDK. They don't work in even a marginally usable fashion though -- they're not even worth wasting 10 seconds on.

i downgraded from cyan 6 and unrooted ... asa root was undone i got the first half of 2 files for an OTA. Ditched the phone today in favor of a keyboard (seeing as their essentially the same) before i got the rest of it. It IS coming boys!!!

Absolutely agree. Thats precisely what i'm waiting on. It would be really nice to see other builds come out based on oem. We will see what happens soon. Enomther is waiting to start working on just that i believe. Cant wait to see what he come up with.

The Rom in my signature is based on the OTA for MyTouch/Sapphire and it is amazing.
Reminds me of my other daily driver Super D.... yes it is that good.
Full Wipe and Flash and experience it for yourself.

Enom is one of the first Roms I flashed, he is also up there for reliability.
Will see what he releases as well.
Hopefully he will have an apps2ext built into his Rom.
Honestly the black theme and the above mentioned is the only thing that is missing from the Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
There is a workaround using Titanium Backup however but would want a more streamlined approach to accomplish this.

Waiting For Update><

This is not about 2.1 or multi touch
Well i dunno about you guys. but waiting for 2.1 is killing me>< i checking forum and sony dev blog and x10blog for information and hoping to see an update everyday>< hahaha. just wanna know who else as silly as me><

Ufff, I thought it is only me going crazy about that. But on other hand I know it is not such a big deal. I am not gonna spend every minute clicking "refresh" on xda website to see if update is available. We all need to relax, I had another confirmation from Vodafone UK, that 2.1 is coming in september.

Daily visits at the xda are sufficient I suppose, because when there will be 2.1 update, it will be all over the place

Yeah! Relax! It won't be a life changing experience. It will come when it comes, meanwhile enjoy the phone instead of thinking about the update...

To be honest, I dont visit this forum so often after root is achieved, no news of any kind, only repeat 2.1 posts. I come here 2-3 times a week now, no cracked bootloader, no 2.1 with HD recording and nothing else I dont read.

I do give this site a daily check for few minutes, but no update isn't killing
I can still wait! Almost there. haha

I wanna crack the boot loader it's better for me than 2.1 update it important for custom roms

Well, which is it?
Sony's already said in a few more weeks. Just go enjoy life instead worrying about a minor software patch. The more you get excited over it, the bigger disappointment it will be. No need getting worked up about it.

What do you people really look forward to in 2.1? Just live wallpapers and 720p afaik...

Also the overall increased speed with the new version of Android OS

waitin here
maybe somethin could fix the in call volume
thats all i care about now
damn u SE

well i can wait too but the process of it just too long haha. i being silly. is like your birthday is around the corner but u just stand sit still wondering what present u will get. for me i just hope there mt and i can't wait to used flash for web browsing.
And i sure want to see more of sony app/widget that coming along with it. so far sony release timescape and mediascape. i wonder what more they will create=)

The funny thing is that every one is waiting for 2.1 and when it comes, the day after update every one will start crying for 2.2......

+1 True dat!

Or Gingerbread 3.0...

2.1 is better than 1.6 in almost every respect, it's a big update and pretty much everthing has been improved. I have an x10 and a galaxy s, I am using the galaxy as my main phone at the moment because of the sucky 1.6 software on the x10, and the fact tjat most of the main apps I use are not available for 1.6.
However I really miss using the x10, the hardware is brilliant and when it gets updated I will probably go back to using the x10.
Its dissapointing that se are so slow at software updates as 2.1 really is a major update and a big improvment over 1.6.

1st details on Gingerbread

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/18/exclusive-first-android-gingerbread-details/
here you can see the first details about the Gingerbread, more of them are cosmetics but it`s start

Personally, I'm more worried about Eclair rather then Gingerbread. I will think about Gingerbread if they announce it for X10 which is highly unlikely...

me 2 i am more worried about Eclair and then Froyo and i also think will never get Gingerbread aswell

well rumors say that SE will skip froyo and go for gingerbread... should we hope gingerbread update for x10???

Gingerbread for X10
I was told by a friend of some 15 years standing who works for Sony Ericsson on the testing side that SE are not developing Froyo and are already developing gingerbread.

For now, I only dream and think about 2.1, really don't care about 3.0 much

it's quite easy to make these claims... everyone can do it (make claims that is)

I can confirm the above poster is right, X10 will stop at 2.0 and the next SE phone will have 3.0
Expect an announcement before Christmas that will launch a few new phones.

P.s.
the think i need is 2.1 and cracked bootloader and then installing custom roms for MT and froyo So i`m resting my future on the shoulders of the devs from this site Ty for the good work guys and fingers crossed for success

2.3????

guesses? rumors? news? anyone? lots of hype about this. but it kinda seems like vibrant is gonna get left in the dust seeing as how we are still on 2.1. from what i have been reading, 2.3 (gingerbread) will be out within a week! so us vibrant users will be 2 versions behind! (wtf tmo and samsung?) my thoughts are maybe they didnt update us cuz they where just waiting for 2.3 to come out and wanted to get all the updating done at once. but i do kinda live in a fantasy world (drugs are bad mmmkay) so what are the thought from the fine folks here at xda on this matter?

Jk2 is a build number of the most recent (and most important since its specifically for vibrants) froyo. Before this all the froyo roms out has been built off of other variations on diff models/carrier.
The fact that jk2 was leaked means the official ota for all tmobile customers is real and immenent.

I doubt we'll ever see an official 2.3. Samsung will probably release 2.2 somewhere between 2-4 months behind the competition. That doesn't give me great hope that we'll ever seen 2.3. Figure that it took HTC/Motorola 2-3 months to turn 2.2 final into 2.2 custom versions to OTA, then we are looking at 4-7 months from now for 2.3 if all of the same timeframes hold. That's probably past the window that this phone will receive official updates.

well seems like the ported versions of the firmware updates have problems, like the headphone jack not working. or gps lagging ect. (not to say the developers didnt do a good job{ cuz they did an awesome job}) but i use that stuff lots. i agree with lex tho. i think that we will probly stop geting updates after awhile so that the newer more awesome phones can get bought up.

Tough call. I would say 1 year till official release...

mmmm im thinkin honeycomb (3.0) will be out within a year. prob not for our phones tho. we will have to upgrade to the we will have to upgrade to the galaxy t hahaha

2.3 won't be that different
2.3 won't be that different It will change the resolution mainly to allow a bigger screen Right now 2.2 really can only function on a 7 inch screen without some mods so 2.3 will have that integrated. 3.0 will have real differences, but Vibrant has become the developers phone of choice so, you will see that on the phone as soon as it gets out.

it is no more official than any of the others that are out.

I doubt it will take that long. Look, the Galaxy S took a while because these are the first phones using the Hummingbird CPU. People say HTC and Motorola are more on the ball, but they're using the same Snapdragon and OMAP cores since the beginning. Heck, Froyo was originally built for the Snapdragon--no wonder Froyo is easy to port to those phones.
Now they've got Froyo on the Hummingbird, I would think future releases will be easier to port based on the accumulated experience.

No. Froyo was pushed to the nexus one in late june.
HTC/Motorola pushed it 2-3 months after that and samsung will wind up another 2-4 months after that, depending on when they finally push it.
2.3 will be pushed any day now to the nexus one, so you can do the math from there if you assume the same timeline. My guess its that pushes 2.3 out of the window for the upgrade.

Guys.. Froyo should be out before Christmas. Team Whiskey and Eugene already got it. And tmobile is sending OTA to people with JI6 to downgrade back to JFD. They're preparing peoples phones.
Okay, we have froyo, now we are set... OH WAIT GINGERBREAD IS COMING OUT I AM NEVER HAPPY OTHER PHONES WILL HAVE IT BEFORE ME CRY CRY CRY CRY.
Seriously, I can assure you gingerbread is not going to come out this year.
And the N1 is the dev phone so of course it's going to be first to snatch up the latests firmware.
Heck, samsung or tmobile DIDNT PROMISE YOU ANY UPDATES. You bought the phone and that is it. They have your money, what are you going to do know? Didn't you check on the behold? I think they are stuck on 1.6 same as the Cliq. BE HPPY you got froyo.
I don't care what anyone else says, I happy with my froyo.

actually when i bought the phone i got ****in played man. haha the people at the t-mo store told me i would get all the updates as soon as they came out, and that i would get 4 g on my vibrant. thats when i didnt know much about the phone, or phones at all. but now that im doing my research, im finding out that none of that stuff is true! im liking t-mo. but dont like how they lied to me to buy the vibrant. i was even looking right at the g2. like 'what about this one?' 'na man! you want the vibrant' i love my vibrant. but i also am gonna want 4g and firmware updates in the future.
