Good news for owners of HTC Legend, the next few days will begin the update to the Android 2.2 Froyo.
bout time!!!!
I assume this would be monday morning then, since the froyo updates for VF Legend and Desire were released on mondays as well?
Thats good news!!
One thing I don't understand is why HTC Romania published this news, not HTC "World"?
And yes, I also assume the update will go monday morning since last update was released monday morning as well.
I would laugh my ass off being pissed off beyond all reson at the same time if this new info would include only the HTC Legends in Romania .
Great news ...can wait for monday...
Sure its not just for vodafone branded phones in Romania?

I really am deluding my self into believing that wi might get the New Sense and the unbranded update will be diffrent form the Vodafone one.
Or perhaps if not now then eventually....

How do you imagine that they will put so much effort on implementing the new Sense UI in Froyo for the unbranded version of Legend? They already stated that the Vodafone branded Legends are greater number and the vodafone ROM does not include the new Sense UI
As I said i'm still deluding myself . Maybe the new sense will be "coming soon"
High hopes
And no, I don't think this is about Vodafon rom, cuz' they published it today, half an hour before i opened this thread.
Damn I hope this is true! Can't wait till next week. And yes this is a thoroughly useless post...

My legend uses the Taiwanese (2.06.709.3) rom (in english) so god knows when/if that will be updated

HOW do you know it? Speculations!
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.

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.

Did I say phone house? Pardon! I meant: My friend at HTC Europe.. And just because of this negative spirit of yours, it will be Oktober now.. (He's a good friend, so I have some pull)
...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.

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.....

This is really great news hope everyone to get the update at the same time not like 1.84 update....some dhd owners got it some of us didn't.
Not going out to gingebread in late March??
About time, was wondering when this would come out.
And let's hope there are no major flaws in the update Else would that be a bummer...
+1 for hoping it includes the new sense unlock screen!
So, what are you think, is it be better or worse than CM7?

I hope they release the Kernel src code of the new update soon. We then will have custom kernels that can do some O/C // Undervolt
Gingerbread
I'm happy to see this is going so "well" with HTC, if I think about my friend's Samsung who just got 2.2.1 about 2 weeks ago *g*
Samsung Sweden promises Android 2.3 update in mid-April for unlocked Galaxy S, mid-May for operator-specific Galaxy S
UPDATE: Samsung Finland will release the Android 2.3 update in mid-April.
Swedish Samsung subsidiary has confirmed that the much awaited Android 2.3 update for Galaxy S is expected soon. The Gingerbread firmware is in final stages of testing and unlocked Galaxy S users can expect the update sometime in mid-April.
For Galaxy S locked to operators, the update is expected in mid-May.
Samsung will release the update via Kies.
------------------------------------------------
I was really hoping to get it in March..
I do not believe JKV is the official one tbh.
I guess we have to wait few weeks more...
Go'kväll! (Roughly translated from swedish to american ghetto slang: yo wazzup homey? aight!). Goddamnit... I'm drunk... sent my sgs in for repai last week beacause I somehow managed to obliterate my imei. Don't take me for a noob. I have an efs backup. The only problem was that it was stored on my computer at work Wichita i couldn't access after a dispute with my boss that ended with me telling him to s$%k my slimy c?&k and fcuk off... the good news is that emrox replaced my badly abused mainboard with a new one all free of charge just in time for gb... just wanted to thank you for the good news... liksom...

Same press release quoted earlier is now on Samsung's Nordic branches' sites. Here is a link for the Finnish site translated through Google Translate. (The translation is what it is. Makes the point, though.)
Official enough.
Just called Samsung Norway - found nothing on their website - and a helpful lady called Silje informed me that android 2.3 will be out for all Norwegian networks for the SGS at the end of April.

FYI, it's on Norway's site also. This implies that Nordic users will be first to get GB - like with JS8 - but we know that Samsung procrastinates with firmware releases. We just sit back and wait.
I just sent an email the german samsung support about 2.3 - let's see if I get an answer and if so, what they say about a release
I will keep you posted.
Kind regards,
ww
Great so Bell should be coming out with their 2.3 in about July or August then. I wonder WTF they are doing with these things in there.
Okay, the german support just replied - no specific date given, quote: "Yet, we don't have any specific information about the release date of Android 2.3". Or in german: "Wir haben noch keine genaueren Informationen über den Erscheinungstermin von Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)."
Update from german o2 online forum:
the version, which was tested and approved by o2 (Germany ?), ist this one: I9000XWJV7_XXJVK_VIAJV1
Kind regards,
ww
i didnt know if anyone has seen htc confirm we are getting android 2.3 officially in q2 so i emailed them and this is what i got in response.
I understand how important it is to have the most current software available for your device and I am happy to inform you that the G2 is scheduled to receive the 2.3 update later in the second quarter of this year.

Desire HD apparently getting theirs OTA now. Surely ours should not be far behind.....Surely?
What it means when ours is released is hopefully rmk40 will release an official virtuous 2.0 rom. It might also move us closer to the point where they release the kernel source and we can start seeing overclocking kernels for Gingerbread sense roms. (and trackpad wake etc)
According to Engadget:
"That just leaves the Desire Z and original Desire, both of which should be joining the party by the end of June. "
So more or less two months later. No matter, maybe they will make even more fixes and changes for us. (Maybe a version of Sense 3.0 for our "weaker" phones - but I doubt that)

The only reason they are saying end of June, is because HTC said it would happen by end of Q2. So it can happen anytime between now and the end of June.

Given the track record with everyone involved regarding prompt releases (Google, T-Mobile), it'll be at least November before it's actually available. How many months were us old Dream users waiting on Cupcake? Donut? Eclair (which turned out to be vaporware for the Dream)?
