Fellas, just read over in Engadget that HTC devices will be getting 2.3 starting in March.
Of course, we've been disappointed before, and there's no mention of which specific devices would be receiving the update, but we can always hope...
This line;
(March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson)

Unless it came from the comment section ... in which case I can't be bothered to look LOL
I smell bull****. March is a long ass way away all HTC needs to do is strip stock Android apps and replace them with their own.

Do you have a clue what's involved re-factoring to a new platform and implementing a new skin (SenseHD)?
We'll be lucky to see it by March. I suspect later.

Froyo was announced in May, and EVO's got the update in August, I think...only three months. March is not an unrealistic expectation, though I do wish Engadget would have cited their source for that info.
That was just sarcasm. They have no idea when gingerbread will hit any device.

Yes, your Evo will get Gingerbread, I'm sure of it. Regardless of which phone the customers think is Sprint's best Android offering, Sprint has a lot riding on the Evo, even five months after its launch.
To round it all out, there's this crazy rumor -- and feel free to ridicule me for not having the link -- that an HTC employee confirmed that HTC wants Gingerbread on the Evo before Christmas, and Sprint wants to be first to market with the update. Like I said, it's a rumor, but it sounds reasonable.
Hopefully sooner.. the post above would be super awesome if true.

i would agree that sprint still views the Evo as their flag**** model and not only that but its had commercial success, anyone remember how hard it was to get those things in the first 90 days?? you better believe they were probably working with HTC to make sure its updated in a timely manner. also, it makes sense for it to get the first HTC update since it has the largest install base.
All speculation on my part, but my two cents

Interesting article.
It would make sense that Sprint would make an effort to update EVO's to 2.3 as soon as possible. As someone else already mentioned, this is definitely their flagship device. Though the Samsung Epic is also a 4G phone, it has not been marketed nearly as much as the EVO.
This is pure speculation on my part, but it would seem to be in their best short-term interests to continue to develop for the EVO, as it has hardware that is very capable, and 2.3 would only make the device that much more appealing. It may be cheaper to develop for existing, familiar (and not very old) hardware than to develop for new hardware. I could be wrong.
I can already hear the commercials: "the EVO, now faster than ever..."
Yeah, I hope they push out 2.3, even if it has old sense.

shame on you
Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.
Heh, I just ditched my Hero as well, went for a Nexus One instead. Why? Given the relatively small size of the team that codes the HTC ROMs, the sheer tonage of handset models HTC produce in a year and the prolific rate of development for Android (which is a new thing for phones and outpaces the lifetime of a handset significantly), its pretty obvious that anything other than the Nexus One (currently) will be left behind within 6 months of release, doubly so given Sense. Plus, the Hero was the culmination of the Android Gen 1 phone cycle, and is underpowered compared to the Gen 2 phones IMHO. The only option is custom ROMs which, in all fairness to the hard work put in by the creators, can be hit and miss depending on what you personally expect from a device. The 2.1 Hero I played with was nice, but for me, it was too buggy for a phone I need to be working 100% while the owner was fine with random FC's, reboots, sensor issues and general beta-ish behaviour every now and again.
So, if you want to be at the bleeding edge, and have offical support, consider the Nexus One. My GF will be perfectly happy with the stock 1.5 Hero for some time, while I wouldn't be. Anything else is just wishful thinking if you are honest about HTC's capabilities and they way they operate as a company. The N1 is worlds away from the Hero, and a far nicer device.
I have buy a Desire, too! But I went back to the Hero, because my Desire have dust under the screen, after only 5 days. It was really a good device, but Hero have no dust after one year. So check the desirethreads here. Many users have problem with dust!
I talked today with sprint supervisor and confirm the Froyo 2.2 will be available for July for sure but dont have a specific day. Also they working for a another patch to fix the last update 1.47.651.1
Good News
PS : I wil continue eating donut and coffe for the waiting
Cool!
But doubtful, those Sprint customer service reps really just tell you what you want to hear, it is almost never factual.
I got confirmation from supervisor not from a representative. I think supervisor got more accurate info than representative that just talk rumors
Most of the time most people that work at Sprint (Including supervisors) have no idea what they are talking about. Anyways, its more up to HTC then Sprint as to when it will be available since they are the ones that have to do most of the work.
Man, LBJ / Bosh coming to the Bulls sometime in July ... 2.2 as well?
hah I love speculating.
Yea they really have no idea. Some said August, July, September, October. They just say whatever they feel like. I used to work for Spring and generally we know more then they do.
is it best to actually talk to the HTC representative over Sprint???
I think the concensus is that 2.2 should drop sometime this summer, which offically ends 9/21/2010. However, from a business prospective, I think it would be prudent to release 2.2 to as many handsets as possible as close to the same date as possible. Reason?....sales of any handset running 2.1 for any length of time after the majority get 2.2 will die quickly, resulting in a lot of unsold inventory.
I won't believe it until it is released and running on my phone. Funny thing is, we know as much, if not more then they do
Or we might get Gingerbread on our Evo's come October.
http://gizmodo.com/5576478/rumor-android-30-gingerbread-out-october-for-higher+specced-phones
oh man can we please not play this game? over in the hero forums we played this game with 2.1 and god it doesnt get anywhere and all the waiting is usually for nothing as we end up with a leaked ruu that gets hacked and people are sad that its not everything they want it to be.

The EVO meets the hardware requirements for 3.0. Do not worry, young one.
"Like Windows Phone 7, Murtazin claims that Google will be laying down the law with some hardcore hardware specs to run 3.0, demanding a minimum of a 3.5-inch display, a 1GHz processor, and 512MB of RAM"

The requirements say 3.5", 512MB RAM and 1GHZ...The Evo has all of these. There is no reason for it not to get Gingerbread (3.0).
ive got a few facts:
1) there are no dates
2) it is coming "soon" (per sprints press release)
3) it will not be released until everything is worked out. thats what pushed back the 2.1 updates, htc/samsung kept sending buggy builds (some of which leaked) and the general population wont deal with the flaws like we will b/c we want the latest and greatest. therefore, it wont be released until its completely ready

Does it seem like they might just jump straight to 3.0 for high-end devices, and keep 2.2 for low-end devices as the article mentions?
This would be sweet, as it would save time for them trying to push out 2.2 and then have to wait again for 3.0.
According to engadget. Looks like it won't be too much longer now . I'm guessing early nov.

Considering GingerBread is supposed to drop next week some time....this really kind of blows. We really need a good CM6 then 7!
I can't remember exactly but I think Hero didn't get the 2.1 update until after code dropped for FroYo...Sucks being a version behind. And considering track record its the only OS Update we will see official. I highly doubt we will actually get GingerBread from Samsung/Sprint.

I agree. Everyone getting their hopes up for Gingerbread for the Galaxy S phones, I think are setting themselves up for a big let down.

Not just tablets - Just better than 2.1 was with large screens (over 4.5 inchs).
GingerBread should add native video calling, a new UI, and a few other surprises.
And suspected release of Google Music.
Hopefully the ball keeps rolling until it gets to Sprint. Post any rumors you hear on this thread so we can keep track of this "gradual" rollout.
I agree that its unlikely we will get anything after 2.2...it seems like every Android I buy this happens to me lol. Oh well

I believe the reports for gingerbread are 4th quarter of 2010. That's probably why everyone thinks it's coming soon. Other gingerbread info was from the last IO (they showed the music player streaming music from cloud) and just general quotes from google engineers about trying to get rid of carrier skins and what not.
Having said all that, didn't they just hire that webOS designer a few months ago? He's supposedly the lead designer for gingerbread, so could it really be coming in q4?
As for support, i think it'll be awhile but it will be supported. I feel like sammy has to support the galaxy line at this point w/ their 5 million handsets sold and the imminent galaxy tab (which they already stated will have gingerbread at some point). This is my first sammy phone and it's pretty apparent people have gotten burned by them in the past, but it would be a customer relations nightmare if they did this w/ the galaxy line.

Gingerbread supports large screens which suppose to go on tablet pads...I dunno where they get the idea that its gonna come out for phones
Maybe it will be a good reason to upgrade galaxy s phones because of the name similarities, now whether they have any similar parts inside I doubt but kind of gives us some of that 'hope' it will come out for phones also.

Google themselves stated that gingerbread will require ATLEAST the N1's specs bare minimum. I read that a LOOOOOONG time ago though so idk...
But ayways, sammys rep for the tab mentioned honeycomb...

Honeycomb is both a delicious treat as well as a continuation of the alphabetical nomenclature Google has chosen for their OS's. If they were going to branch off and make a separate lineage for tablets alone, I doubt they would interrupt their alphabetical naming scheme for phone based OS' to do it.

But I agree.... I dont honestly believe that any of the Galaxy phones will get anything past 2.2.
By the time 2.2 is FINALLY pushed to all the galaxys, new and better phones will be out.
I've never seen ANY android that had more than 1 system upgrade that wasn't a leaked developer made upgrade.

On engaged it shows what HTC has announced and they either have 2.2 2.3 or 2.4 all with sense, and their "Facebook" phones have the new sense with 2.3.3 and it definitely looks like the Evo could run it as the Facebook phone and wildfire s only have 600mhz, granted its the new process and such, but we should be about on par.
The new phones are a disappointment to me, with last year specs pretty much. Just the new 1ghz processors and 768mb RAM. Here's to hoping CTIA has something...

I don't see why everyone is so down. First, new devices do not have to be announced at conferences. They can put together their own event any time they want. Second, there's a high probability that the Evo's successor will in fact be announced at CTIA. That's when the Evo was announced. And finally, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the new device isn't announced yet. It might mean we get a dual core processor or something else really cool that just isn't ready yet. The Incredible S has a second generation, single core, 1GHz Snapdragon. It's certainly better than what's in the Evo, but I'd gladly wait until the summer if it means I get dual core, and maybe even Ice Cream out of the box.

Darn, I was kind of hoping to hang on to my evo for more then just a couple years. It would be nice to see more long term support with these new devices, but at the speed that technology advances, it doesnt really suprise me.
I've got my fingers crossed for CTIA, really putting my faith in Sprint for that one.
As for 2.3...we already have roms for it and androidball ported a honeycomb rom to his Evo a few days ago (it's around here somewhere).
So, I think we'll be getting our upgrades. Not sure about non XDA, non rooted peoples...but we sure as hell will
I just hope Sprint announces something big at CTIA next month. Fingers crossed for EVO2 announcement, or at least a high end Galaxy-S-2 w/out keyboard, thank you.
And I would like one of these phones come this June, or I might jump ship to the iPhone5, with 4" screen, dual core, new AMOLED + Retina screen, and totally revised iOS5 adding Widgets and Notifications finally.

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha.
if you say so...
I've never seen people that get so bored of devices so damned quickly.
They really market technology well don't they?
"OMGZ EYE HAS 2 HAV DAT NU DEVIS TUDAY"
People really need to calm down about the whole Sprint and new phone thing.
It's going to happen.
-The fact that the lack of an "Evo 2" this summer would just be about the most retarded mistake Sprint could make.
-The practically confirmed, although still a "rumor", dual-core WM7 phone.
-The fact that there "is NO CDMA exclusivity" when it comes to the iphone. [Could sprint be waiting for the 4g capable iphone 5 this summer? I would if I were them, At&t and Verizon already has any person who wants the iPhone 4.]
-The likelihood of Sprint getting a WebOS device, or two
-The Blackberry Playbook
-Any Blackberry phones that will come out, that haven't even been talked about yet
And that's just NON-Android based devices!
You're silly if you think that Sprint won't be getting a plethora of Android devices over the next 6 - 12 months.
Android is the hot ticket.
Thus, Sprint, a company that is finally starting to gain customers and wants to continue to pull itself out of the hole its been in, HAS to be apart of that hot ticket.
There's just no way, no how that, coupled with everything I talked about up there, Sprint won't be getting multiple Android devices.
Relax.
Let's also keep in mind that, as sweet as the Atrix and other devices announced at CES are....NONE ARE EVEN OUT YET.
So, take a deep breath, and relax.

2.3.4 will include:

2) Gingerbread keyboard option
3) Further performance improvements
4) Video chat (Google)
5) Sense UI update
Like EVO 3D we are listening to what the expectations are from the community.
BSOD
P.S. Netflix will be updated and streaming ASAP as this issue is being resolved. Expect an update with in 24hrs at the latest Monday June 6th.
^^^^^^ that would be awesome!!!!

i seem to recall this bluescreen guy making numerous "predictions" that seem to always fall through and he comes up with some excuse like, "they used a different test device than mine" blah blah blah yet people still buy it and believe him for some unknown reason.
edit" like this BS "insider info" http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/302508-evo-4g-successor-evo-3d-bsod-thread.html what a tool, please if you have a shred of intelligence, you will not believe a word of this unless it comes from a more reliable source
i hope its true
would be great. but im about 99.9% sure this is BS.
why is everyone so negative (or at least people who decide to comment). This post is for people who want the update, not people who want to bash our phones' manufacturer.
You need to realize that we don't have the only phone that hTc makes, and from what I hear about older hTc phones, they are keeping us way more updated than their older phones and just about every other phone on the market (with the exception of the nexus, for obvious reasons).
Just take the news, whether you choose to believe it or not, and enjoy your day. We don't need all of this bashing crap.
I'll step down from my soapbox now...
The update will be awesome. It sounds right on track from an email that I got from hTc that said they should have the update by the end of the second quarter, which is June. So, I hope it is true.
I also hope that they fix the bluetooth stack (Wiimote) so that I can get off of CM and back to Sense
I see he's moved over here from another forum.....smh

The spelling and grammar were the most convincing parts IMHO!
Seriosly tho, I would guess no sense update or 2.3.4 until post Evo/Sensation launch. Why cannibalize your own sales?

so you're saying that we should never call out what is likely total BS, from a known BS'er? (BSOD, not the OP) that people can just post whatever they want, and as long as it's something you want to hear, if we disagree, we are "negative"?
as far as I know, part of the function of this XDA community is to provide good information, and point out things that are rumor at best, complete horseshite more often than not.
i'd rather not come to June 9th, and have people actually wonder why BSODs "information" didn't happen.
Well, for me is not make sense that they released a new update yesterday and them release another one on june 9.
I don't take anything this dude says serious.

If it was true that would be awesome. But until then I'm not holding my breath,We already have sweet roms in the dev section anyway..

it would be sweet if the update could be rooted. then with a stable gb core combines with the devs that come up with awesome roms - perfect.
cos now i like a lot of others are stuck.

um... is this guy saying that that is what officials are saying... or just his words? looks to me like nothing official... here's why:
HTC, Sprint, and Google hope you are enjoying the latest update to a device that set the standard for all mobile devices to follow nearly a year ago(EVO 4G)....... Functionaliity had to be first and for most.

Correct grammar: "HTC, Sprint, and Google; 'Hope you are enjoying the latest update to a device that set the standard for all mobile device industries to follow nearly a year ago(EVO 4G)........ Functionaliity has to be first and foremost'."
That's just a few of the instant 'red flags'.... I would say not legit.
2.3.4 before the 3D seems like an unwise move from a marketing stand point, especially with 3D coming out. Then again, the biggest allure besides GB is 3D, processing power, and Sense 3, so maybe an immidiate update is not as crazy as we think.
Still, I wouldn't bet on it.
XDA App - EVO - 2.3 unrooted. Help!

i think the conversation may have went a bit over your head and ability to comprehend. no one was "bashing" htc but bsod. he is a know bull**** slinger. this "info" is just more made up bs, it is NOT info from htc or google but from some pompous attention whore
HTC announced the June 6th update. Why not announce the June 9th update....makes no sense- literaly. But thanks for the info OP.
via EVO.
