Although it is still not the updating time, at least we will find out when we can get the officail hero 2.1 rom.
Here is the link for this news
www (dot) plurk (dot) com / HTCHERO
Sorry it is in Chinese.
Mod edit:
tweakers is quoting this site:
http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/6679
run it through google if your not dutch
in short, in march the 2.1 update and a pink version of the hero will be coming Feb. 15
also some free widgets from HTC via Android Market like Parkingtimer, Translator and ringtone-widget.
Ran it through google translate and didn't get far, a lot of the page is in flash
What does it say exactly?
What does it say??????????
yeah sure.
Probably just old news anyway
The important part says:
Hero Upgrade Android 2.1 version of the schedule will be announced next week.

However, I've no idea how "official" this is supposed to be. However, from translating some of the other plurks, it does look like some of them could be official releases from HTC.

Interesting
I've got a feeling it will only be out in April. i think this because HTC are releasing new handsets at the end of march?.. so i think they will only release 2.1 for hero after they are out to stop people taking the cheap way out and just buying a hero with the new software rather than the new handsets maybe??
It is saying that HTC will most probably revealed when Hero can upgrade to And 2.1.
However, they are still unsure whether to let HTC Magic and Tattoo To get the same upgrade.
Rest are mostly users of the 2 not confirmed models users grumbling.

magic geted a new update last days.. 1.5 with sense ...
so if they update the old magic.. i think we will get an update for us hero to...
but.. hey..
they really want old phones with new software? 2.1 ?
i dont think so..
Probably going to be announced in MWC
Rogers Canada have already said that magic users will be getting a 2.1 upgrade. If they get it so will hero owners.
The old donkey and carrot analogy spring to mind as far as updates from HTC go.
I'll believe it when I'm installing it on my phone
2.1 comes in march HTC said in a press report with some new widgets like the Friendstream-widget.

hxxp://tweakers.net/nieuws/65478/htc-geeft-hero-medio-maart-update-naar-android-21.html It's a dutch forum however but you can put the link in Google translate. There will also be a pink version of the Hero available at 15 februari according to that source.
Go to Tweakers.net and read the article which is posted on 16:48 (I can't post links)

New ROM Hero should be available
According to a Dutch site, Mobilyz.com, the new Hero ROM should be released. The only thing is that I cannot find the ROM.
The article can be found here:

Hallo! i have heard allot of rumours that legend won't be getting froyo
is it true?
like you said they are rumours.
just wait. think there will soon be more info from htc when the first 2.2 phones are released.
the rumours are indeed very iffy
I honestly just posted an entire rant last night about this, allow me to quote myself...
kylecore said:
Well I've heard multiple times before this that customer service reps from htc have also confirmed the update to froyo for the legend. The most recent being an email from a customer service rep stating that the user fear not about his flash playing troubles because android 2.2 and incidentally flash 10.1 would be released for the htc legend within the next 2 weeks.
Follow this up by the recent release of flash 10.1 for android 2.2 and the release of the android 2.2 source code being released today the statement of "within the next 2 weeks" seem to be exactly what is happening. Not only is android 2.2 pretty much here but will be available sooner rather then later. To add further flame to the fire htc repeatedly said android 2.2 will be supported by almost all 2010 devices and with the desire being more widely available and more powerful it is more likely to be put in with definite android 2.2 compatible even though the desire and legend get almost always get updates at the same time.
The most likely reason the statement was pulled? Well it must simply be due to google not publishing the source code yet, thus letting people essentially know froyo is ready.
Htc most certainly can't pull the plug on 2.2 before google itself does. But! Now that it has published final froyo source code it is 99.9% done and is most likely waiting to be uploaded to the server.
My uneducated guess is that we'll see froyo on the legend by mid july at the latest.
Also not sure if anyone thought of this, but bell (and indirectly virgin mobile canada) are not stupid companies. They are introducing a new android phone and thus throwing massive amounts of ad $ and marketing into it, from both bell/virgin AND htc itself. Remember this is virgins FIRST android set and bells 4th or 5th, they would most likely have talked to htc to make sure the device is upgradeable to the newest android. They just started selling it, they aren't going to allow it to be out dated within the month its released! If the did it would be a waste on advertising and a waste of introducing a new phone.
That's just my 2 cents, but it seems very logical to me, how about you?

Soo yeah that's my 2 cents, but it seems reasonable if you ask me.
Aaaand lastly, there's a guy currently working on porting froyo over and you can follow it at this thread in the forum, here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709078
Just to throw some fuel in the fire, check out this link
The Flash Player 10.1 can be availed as a final production release for smartphones and tablets as soon as users can upgrade to Android 2.2 “Froyo”. Handsets which are anticipated to support “Froyo” and Flash Player 10.1 include Google Nexus One, HTC Evo, HTC Desire, HTC Incredible, Dell Streak, Samsung Galaxy S, DROID by Motorola, Motorola Milestone and more.

Adobe didn't state HTC Legend on their supported devices list...could this mean no 2.2 for Legend? or Is HTC dumbing down 2.2 for Legend as they did with 2.1?
If 2.2 is dumbed down for Legend, it better have WiFi hotspot as a stock 2.2 rom would have, or I am going to be one pissed off long legged puerto rican!
Rumors:Samsung Galaxy S to Get Froyo Around 23rd September?
It’s always a good thing when a company keeps their word. In the world of Android, it doesn’t always happen, especially when it comes to release dates for firmware updates. However, it seems like Samsung will indeed stay true to their promise that the international-spec Galaxy S (i9000) will be receiving its update to Android 2.2 by the end of September. A source from within the Finland branch of Samsung has disclosed that Samsung’s repairs department will be:
“definitely receiving new software for repairing froyo builds on the 22nd of September, with the build expected to be released on the 23rd”
There are two important points to make of this. Firstly, if this is what is planned in Finland, then it’s logical that the release in other countries should happen at a similar time. So while I cannot say with full confidence that the global release will be on September 23rd, it does at least seem like a good starting point, if nothing else. Secondly, this information only relates to the i9000 Galaxy S. While it is fully possible that the four USA Galaxy S devices will receive froyo around this time, we cannot be sure of this based upon this information alone. In the meantime, let’s hope that this information is accurate, and that the Galaxy S receives its helping of Froyo soon.
thanks for sharing but this is old news
How about HTC Desire getting theirs from T-Mobile today then ?

Awesome news for you
sorry miss read
I am thinking that since I was opened this threat, we can post on which country the update will be release when will be released, because I am afraid that is not going to be worldwide and I am guessing that also depends a lot if the phone if locked on a network or purchased network-free.

Well it's not going to be world wide same time. And I sure hope it's not going to be on 23rd this month, cause it's not good at all, if it will be like the release of 9/9/2010 leaked froyo. It is NOT ready.
If they release it like this, it will be like Epic Fail.
if you are asking a question then add a question mark to the thread title please. it saves people from clicking into a useless thread. and when i say useless i mean it really is old news and there will be nothing but speculation in here.
Looks like upgrade will be later than expected
According to an article over at brighthand.com, Froyo won't come to us until late October now.
Yep, I read about it all day - now the only thing that I am curious is if this announcement is for worldwide or not
I hate you for bumping this thread and giving my false hopes ;(. And it's not -official-, it's news based on a rumor.
If it was official it would be a worldwide announcement by Samsung...

After much discussion with a contact at Orange (aka Everything Everywhere) I have managed to get confirmed that Gingerbread will be automatically be getting pushed across to all HTC Desire HD's only upon the release of the new HTC Range. Apparently when the HTC Sensation and Evo 3D is released (May to June 2011) the Gingerbread update will be pushed out across.
Good new - huh - sort of?
maybe
i have telus as a carrier and i hear new dates all the time, im atleast hoping for mid summer atleast, though with all the new dual cores i might just dump this and get a new one

Thanks for the info - useful to have another Orange user as reference.
When I spoke to them last week they hadn't a clue.
Okay its already been confirmed that the desire HD will be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich soon. Here is the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488915 . I came across a article on cnet that possible dates for HTC's Sensation 4G and Amaze 4G which is June 16th. Here is the article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...-for-t-mobile-devices-revealed/?tag=txt;title . So what I think is that if those phone are receiving the wonderful ICS at that time, So should Desire HD. Now this is all based on theory but We are that much closer.
If this thread is a waste of time feel free to say so, cause I'm new at this. The last thing I need is a bad rep. BUT LIKE I SAID THIS IS ALL THEORY. NOT OFFICIAL
I bid farewell and I love this community.
I'm confused. Are you saying we will get the update the same time as the Sensaation on the 16th June?
What i mean is that a number of HTC devices are receiving ICS soon. In theory like I said, since a bundle of devices are getting ICS, so should Desire HD. I'm not saying that we will be getting it at the same time but HTC seems to be giving ICS around that time. So we might be getting ICS very soon. ALL THIS IS THEORY LIKE I SAID. :3
I doubt HTC are in Any Rush, The Phone has had It's day, even the development is dead on it, and many people are moving on to Newer phones, But it will probably be June or July time.

Reading the cnet link that you have shared, i think they are pertaining to those devices that aare locked (branded) with T-Mobile. Unbranded/unlocked devices always receive the updates first than the branded ones. So if the target dates are right and your theory is also correct, I would say that the unbranded devices will be recieving the updates a month or weeks earlier than june 16..
Last year the update from Froyo to Gingerbread was started on 4 May.

Well from all the comments shown, the predictions are pointed towards this summer. Summer is just a blink away, I'm sure it will come soon. Cause HTC is all about customer satisfaction. HOHOHOHOHOHOH
I also think it will come in the next weeks, HTC's last act for our tremendous DHD.
Hope they want to cross that task from their ToDo early...
While I certainly wish they bring out a official ICS port, I doubt it. Why would they bother? Everyone that would be dissapointed by missing official support already is.
Our Device is close to 18 months old and they are releasing new flagship devices right now.
