Does anyone know when or if the desire z will be getting Gingerbread and later on Honeycomb?
I have no idea if HTC updates their phones or just releases new ones (they seem to release a lot of phones) I'm sure it would take time for them to shove sense onto Gingerbread but even a rumored time line would be cool to know.
My guestimate on official updates is 4-5 months after the source is released.
The original Desire was released April, 2.2 source released May 20th, HTC 2.2 update released August 1st ?! ... Oh, that is only 2 and a bit months.
I still think 3-4 months so not to be disappointed. But We'l get custom ROMs before that hopefully.
One thing you need to know about HTC. They never ever ever release anything quickly for past phones.
There will be at least 2 news phones that come with Gingerbread (or whatever) before they release the update for us.
However custom roms will have it ages before then.
but the Desire got an update immediately..haha
Desire HD getting update around two months after New announced models are released in april.

Usually a ROM will leak from a device like the Desire S before it's even out, and that will have gingerbread and the new HTC sense on it - all it then needs is for someone to port it to the DHD (which shouldn't take long as they're nearly the same phone anyway - maybe a change to the dialler as the S has a front-facing camera) and then we'll see custom roms with it way before HTC could be bothered to release it.

there is a thread directly below your discussing GB, why start a new one? and this is only speculation, HTC has not announced anything, in my experience with HTC and updates, i wouldnt expect GB before august/september
I'm dissapointed, its obvious they have the update ready as the devices at MWC where running the new 2.3 and they looked fast and polished and the new Incredible S with almost identical hardware as the Desire HD was running it too!

Wrong. The Incredible S will be out with Android 2.2 at launch.
Hope we get the update as faster as the Increbile S at this point...

Yes, but why would anyone want to buy an Incredible S if they released a Gingerbread update for the Desire HD that made it just as good......??
Think business sport, this happened before with the HTC Hero and other phones

It must be 2.4, not 2.3, because I heard that HTC will skip 2.3 update and move straight to 2.4.. Watch Desire S hands on, it will include 2.4(I guess )

Mods - I suggest a merge with the other thread!
are they planning to release on all branded and unbranded dhd at the same time?
If they want me to ever buy a new htc in the future, they'd better keep giving updates faster. I hate competing with samsung galaxy s

Hi,
No in depth answer required, if I wanted one I would go to the development page.
I was just wondering what people know about Official Android Updates coming to the Wildfire? When? Which version?
And also any news on the Roots for more recent versions (2.2.1) for the Wildfire? How is the unrEVOked team getting on?
Only time will tell.... I was just catching up on the latest news!
Cheers in Advanced for any decent answers.
th3ant
1: Official updates coming to the WIldfire - Probably never. 2.2.1 is all they will stop at. While there is no news page that will confirm or deny this, this is the general consensus, and more so, because the Wildfire S is now released.
2: Root for 2.2.1 - Nothing announced yet, no ETA for release. Nothing to do except wait.
HTC said in official news that Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread with HTC Sense will be released only for desire series. But considering Google should optimize their build for processors slower than 800mhz, there is still a hope. Well, all we can expect a custom ROM of Android 2.3 with HTC Sense.
And no ETA on root of 2.2 froyo yet, I am also looking for the same. I'm sure there will be a sticky once it is out.
Thanks.

Any news guys about the long waited for 2.3 ??
(Last news was it will be released on the first 1/2 of April)
Awwwwhhhh, by your thread title and the devil avatar - you had me going there that their was some more news on this!
From what I have gathered, the last I heard and saw yesterday was that the network Three UK announced via Twitter that they are going to be rolling out Android 2.3 very shortly for their branded DHD's and that it was still in the testing stages - other rumours and reports suggested that Three UK won't be rolling it out until May time now but nothing has been confirmed.
Most reports suggest that the un-branded users will get the Android 2.3 update first before the branded users - but still, no date has been announced apart from that it was expected sometime in April.
In my opinion though, from what Three UK have announced - I don't think that both the branded & un-branded users won't officially see Android 2.3 at all now until May time or possibly slightly later.

my apologies if the title & the avatar are misleading.
hopefully we (branded & unbranded users) all will get it around the same time, unlike the 1.84 which I'm still waiting for, Convinced myself us the unbranded users will never get that update. currently stock with buggy 1.72.
I agree with you Liam, we will get the update much later then the end of April .
I have the inspire 4g which is the same as the desire hd and I am not sure when we are getting the update I rooted and installed the Shokouhi Super Ace rom with the leedroid kernel and now I don't want the update I have tried a few roms but this one has been the best I can overclock to 1804
CM7 is already available, for your gingerbread fix and as a plus it will get rid of Sense as well.
No need to appologize for the title, I found it amusing afterwards lol!
If we do get the Gingerbread update very soon then it's likely that we will not see the 1.84 update and I reckon that the Gingerbread update will indeed be the next OTA update.
According to another article I read the other day about the Gingerbread update - Besides the DHD, Gingerbread is also going to be released for the older Desire, Desire Z, The Incredible S & a couple of other models that I can't remember the names of.
Latest news today - Three UK have confirmed that they will be rolling out the Gingerbread update for their branded DHD's in the middle of may;

That's HTC Desire, not Desire HD.
Oops - my bad! :/
Surely though, if it's coming to the older Desire - then that means it will definately come to the DHD shortly.

I too like the HTC sense , unfortunately we won't get the new one featured on the HTC sensation , well not all the features, this is due to hardware. My source is HTC via tweeter.

What I don't understand is why release the 1.84 update for branded DHD's but not the unbranded ones. When clearly branded and unbranded users have been effected by there buggy very buggy 1.73 build.

you won't lose the sense ui when you root, that will only occur when you install another (non sense) ROM
Once you root, you will get an amazing ROM WORLD

So kudoboi what are waiting for? Root it now. 3.0 is coming
Wasn't the Gingerbread update announced for the first half of April?If so, where is it?
Am I missing something?
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

Same boat, waiting for Telus to give us some dates, I hate their lack of communication.
There's already a Gingerbread thread

Thanks for the info - useful to have another Orange user as reference.
When I spoke to them last week they hadn't a clue.
