These guys are saying Orange & T-Mobile are rolling out 2.1 on the 16th April
I know it's unofficial but certainly coincides with Legend release dates.
Hilariously, they site the XDA Developers forum as their source.
THEY SITE THIS SITE AS THEIR SOURCE
That's Hilarious, When did XDA Forums become creditably supplies of information for the Hero 2.1 release schedule? How many missed dates have people gotten their hopes up for?
Ah well, My hopes are in a bucket in a ditch. I will not be raising them

Agreed, to be honest I think it's more likely to be early May before they release 2.1, almost tempted to sell the Hero and just buy an unlocked Legend when it's released.

Another site reporting that the 16th April is the date:
http://mobilenews.omio.com/mobile-phone-handset-news/htc-hero-gets-date-for-android-2-1-update/
would be interesting to know where they are getting the information from, must just be a massive rumour mill somewhere.
theres really no point posting guessed released dates, lets just wait till atleast end of april

Heh I've given up on trying to educate people on correct spelling and grammar. Too many are of the attitude "well you know what I meant so it doesn't really matter".
My pet hates are of course your/you're and there/their/they're. It would probably take someone less than 5 minutes to get their head around given the correct definition yet incorrect use is rife on the Internet.
My pet hate is the use of the word "loose" when the correct word would be "lose".
For example: "I don't want to loose my settings".
Arghh!!!!
topic please?
OT
But it would be appropriate if you wished to loose your settings, like the hounds of hell, upon the unsuspecting public.
P.S. You could try the Villain 4.0 Beta 2. It seems pretty good and battery life is amazing at the moment for me. It is built from a Legend leak - but does chew up a lot of memory - I suspect that HTC engineers were liberal with memory use because the Legend has a bit more than our Heroes.

There are loads of threads with "possible" 2.1 release dates, and all of them are of less value than a discussion on grammar and spelling. It is especially true of this thread since it is only regurgitating a rumour that started on another thread in these very forums!
Personally, if I were a mod, I'd lock any thread with a purported 2.1 release date because they serve no purpose other than to get peoples dander up when the date inevitably passes with no update!

+1 !!! I definitely agree. I wish people would just post their useless links in an existing thread rather than keep starting new ones.
Ah more info, have no idea if this is any more reliable than anything else.
Engadget just posted it as being the 26th April http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/
Just another rumour ...
Not user x and user y are spreading them, companys like engadget are spreading rumours and they have the aura to be close to the manufacturers but aren't ...
Why should HTC issue an official release date on plurk and nowhere else?
Let's just wait and see
http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2652-sprint-htc-hero-android-2-1-release
Uggggh, not again.
More rumors. There is no basis for this report. I got a tweet that simply says they are still on course for 2Q2010. That is it.

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI
Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.
This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.
Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.
you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....
I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

lol classic!
who cares!
we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.
I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.
Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

Third freaking 10char
I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.
I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).
I just recieved an ota today, Its not froyo instead it is T959UVKA2.
Not sure what has changed I have too look.

It's another 2.1 update
all KA2 is, is just a minor update from JI6, that installs a new kernel that contains the FOTA libraries.
KA6 is the most recent (Non-OTA) Official Update, which will bring you to Froyo

Point well taken for this forum.
But post count isn't everything. I have a low count and although I don't claim to know much developmentally. . . I see plenty of posters with counts in the hundreds, (that I can only assume because of the content I see them post) being the result of posts that come down to little more than witless banter and have no actual contributory or discussion value.

I only mention the post count because I thought that people without a post of 10 or greater were actively being prevented (by a recent change to the forum system) from posting in the "development" forums across all of XDA per their front page annoucement. I guess it either hasn't been officially put into place or has since been pulled.

There is actually an OTA update for those still on 2.1 that began on the 7th. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsung-Vibrant/Samsung-Vibrant-2-1-OTA-Update/td-p/720469 Apparently makes improvements for future network enhancements but only for those still on 2.1.

Holy ****. The assholes are out today. I did look through the threads real quick and didn't see anything.
I did see the thread from DarkY from like the 26th. This is the first time I received the update after checking multiple times since I flashed the 2.3.4.
And it was through a different Motoblur account then I originally signed in with when I was on 1.83 and earlier. So I got my hopes up.
It's not like this is my first visit here. Totally not surprised by CaelanT responses. After I did the search, noticed as always he's pissing in everyone else's face who posted about the update. Takes a special person to bounce around multiple threads just to be an asshole. Impressive.
EDIT : xfinrod and Blue Puma. Assholes is not directed at you in this thread. It's an epidemic after I searched about the update.
maybe you should have waited until you flashed back and actually tried to update it successfully before you posted this. then people wouldn't be on your back for jumping the gun and posting.

I am special maybe because I actually read all the threads posted in the Atrix forums, and some people evidently don't read any! If calling it like it is is being an a**hole, then I am guilty as charged, as are most of the people who post their dislikes about having to read the same threads over and over again because people like you are too lazy to actually spend any time on searching. Sure, we all make posts/threads which have been posted before, but come on there........this one had already been posted so many times in the last few days, I can't count them all on both hands, and I have all my fingers.

Nobody knows. Moto is being tight lipped on dates as usual. There has been word in the last week on the Moto forums that the soak test invites will be going out soon, but again, soon could be in 2 months for all we know.
Aren't we on 1.83 awaiting 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
And isn't July, when the update is supposed to come?
Why is there a post about 1.57?
Isn't there a "Please use search." message, or two, generated once you join? Just wondering...
It's like bait to the lions. haha

Yeah, having a life is a *****. My wife and family are a little more important to me.
I would have thought Boston would have more to offer someone than sit in their underwear and read every thread in every Atrix forum. Sad really.
I did read through some of your posts, though. You did provide useful information in about 50 % of the posts I read. Stopped after about four pages, though. Life and all.
But it was a good enough sampling for me to determine that you call it like it is.

I have a family.............wife and 7 children, (3 still at home), so the Atrix forums are my getaway some of the time. Speaking of family time, we are about to leave for super duper fireworks!
Even if the noobiest noob asks a stupid question and I know it has been answered a hundred times here, I still answer the question (if I know the answer) but also point to where I found it. Try to be more friendly ppl. There are assholes here. Lets try to keep it to a minimum. You don't need to be a **** to make your point. And you don't need to make smart remarks. It don't help. It just makes you sound more like a ****. This is supposed to be a community. That's the way I was brought up anyway.

Outstanding. Congratulations. I have four. Two still at home.
Like I said, a lot of your posts were helpful, informative. The rest, well, were not. I just don't get it. It just looks like you go out of your way to call people idiots. Then there are band wagons, that jump into the mix. So a majority of the threads turn to crap.
I spent a good three to four months after joining and didn't post anything just to avoid the bull****.
Apparently if you post here, and it may be a stupid or noob question, you won't get an straight answer. You'll get a smart ass remark, then it's like blood in the water.
Heaven forbid if you don't search before you post. For god's sake, don't post in the wrong forum. Every swinging **** comes after you with a baseball bat with a nail through it.
This is a premier site. Other sites reference this site. I just don't get all the bull****.
I saw it on Blackberry sites also. But I guess I should just STFU, cuz it ain't gonna change.
Have a great night. Seriously, I mean it.
