Good afternoon everyone. Does the HTC Wildfire will be as desired Froyo? It would be fantastic...
So, nobody knows if the Froyo (Android 2.2) will equip the Wildfire?
As every review says, it won't. It will be 2.1 Android. And I heard some saying Froyo requires ARMv7 processor architecture and Wildfire has ARMv6. So...
And why do ya need this Froyo? So nifty features of Android 2.2?
Root it and create a custom rom with froyo (it's not realy tht simple but owell..)
with custom toms on the hero it can run froyo ad the wildfire is slightly faster than hero soo it should be able to run
Maybe...
I read about that possibility here:
The HTC Desire will be among the first batch of HTC phones to get an Android Froyo update. The Taiwanese handset slinger has confirmed that it and US phones like the HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G are in line for the icy upgrade. But others like the HTC Legend don’t get a name check…
In an official statement HTC says: “If your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version.” The statement then names the HTC Desire as among the initial chosen ones.
Other Android-packing HTC smarties like the HTC Legend and HTC Wildfire could still be in luck. The statement continues: “We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades.”
The statement foes on to note that HTC is working with Google and other partners to make sure that the HTC Sense UI plays nice with Android Froyo.
The long-delayed HTC Hero Android upgrade is apparently down to the difficulties of integrating Sense so we’ve got our fingers crossed that mixing it up with Froyo is a little easier.
HTC says its hopeful that all the Android 2.2 upgrades will be completed in the second half of this year. Let us know what phone and version of Android you’re currently toting.

Support HTC Wildfire Campaign
Are you are as fed up as me and countless other HTC Wildfire owners, waiting for the Froyo 2.2 update that is always coming but never gets here? I have a campaign running on my blog to demand a solid answer from HTC. As it stands HTC won't confirm or deny anything concerning this topic. Fair enough, they might be delayed and that would be forgiveable if they could at least be up front and reassure us that we will be getting the update, just a couple of months late. Please vote on my poll or add a comment. I am particularly interested in any responses you may have had from HTC in regards to this. Help to lobby HTC.
You can find the poll at: 'HTC Wildfire Android Heaven' (I am not allowed to post the url at the moment)
I wish they would hurry the **** with it tbh...

This is the first time I've read about the G2 getting it as well. If it's true, then it's great news that we aren't being neglected.
Yeah i thought that at first matey
but those are HTC's exact words so it must be official
i cant wait... i do like custom roms but having an update that will be stock gingerbread to work off will be great. if the devs can get it rooted and s-off and maybe remove some of the rubbish we dont need then we will have a clean, rooted reliable stock rom which will be great... although as its stock it may need a few bug fixes but generally it should be pretty stable
You know, I just emailed HTC about the G2 the other day and the guy basically replied that they give updates based in carrier request, and they had not yet received an update request from t-mobile for the g2 as of this weekend.
So either my guy had no idea what her was talking about, or your guy is lying.

oh right well i hope it is coming to Desire Z and G2
that list is exactly what i have in my email.
i might question HTC support about the matter, just to see what they have to say, with they had a page which they posted future rom updates, it would make it a lot more easier and exciting lol

I woke up in the morning with this news. I have to say that I was very disappointed. Even though I anticipated that HTC won't release an official ICS update for the Desire Z, this news still took a toll on me :-(
now all we can hope for is a better port from the devs (there're already good ICS ROMs for the Desire Z, the Icecream JIBwich ROM I am using is already much better than stock GB, but I do want to have a better camera driver)
well, for anyone who still hopes, at the very least, HTC haven't said that they won't upgrade the Desire Z, and there's still this petition

no, I about the official upgrade list. In my opinion, the petition is one of the reasons HTC should NOT upgrade the Desire Z, if you look at the petition count.....

Most of my friend with different HTC models get the update. I have the desire z and i got nothing up to now, except 2.3.3 last year.
Remember, HTC has never said that they've finalized the list of devices to be upgraded. We still might get it, we may not. Besides, enough phones will be upgraded to give us a 100% working ICS rom anyway from CyanogenMod and others.

You don't need to use CyanogenMod 9 to have ICS. And HTC Vision is listed with 512MB RAM anyways.
I am about to give up on cm9 and go backwards. I want a 1.6 super d rom from my g1 on my g2. Hell I might go back to eclair if I could, just to flash something different. ...

It is possible to port old roms but really... maybe I'm in the minority but there are so many roms to choose from on the g2 why are so many people hung up on needing a solid ics build. I get it the latest is the greatest but what more are you really going to get out of it? Plenty of amazing aosp, cyanogen based and sense roms out here that work amazing, how can anyone be so unsatisfied to want to go back to a donut rom?

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..

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.

What's your source?
It’s been nearly two years since HTC first announced the Desire HD, making it a proper dinosaur in the smartphone world. Despite its age, the manufacturer had been planning to give the smartphone a fresh new start with an Ice Cream Sandwich update. At least, that was the plan, but now it seems that HTC may have reversed course, and the Desire HD won’t be seeing an official ICS release, after all.
Back in May, we saw a list of which HTC models were due their ICS updates, and when; the Desire HD fell in the July-August range. We’d assume that was still the case, were it not for Canadian carrier Telus updating its own list of future software releases, noting that the Desire HD’s Ice Cream Sandwich release is now canceled. According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”
That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.
We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

Are you kidding me? If you really had to post a thread about this, you could have posted it in general. Not in the development section.

First of all, wrong section.
Second of all, you'll notice that their source is actually from an XDA thread, this one. (And seeing that the linked page is the one that contains my post I guess I'm the source )
However, an XDA user contacted HTC on their Facebook page (link to post) and got the following answer:
Tom - volunteer helper said:
HTC are not cancelling their upgrade to ICS for the Desire HD as far as we know. If Telus have done this, it's unilateral on their part.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's mentioned in the thread linked above, and that thread also contains an email reply that a different user received after emailing HTC's support and the email said that the update is still happening.
My guess is that HTC were hoping to get the upgrade ready by now, they got issues so they postponed the release, and some kind of miscommunication happened between them and Telus.
Either way, we're still in the first quarter of the time range HTC gave for the upgrade. So unless HTC makes an official statement that there won't be a release, then there's no reason to despair.
i wanted to share this with you all
so ppl can talk about it
we are here to inform and help each other
if this is not the proper place im sorry

HTC, unfortunately, has no control over the devices chosen to get an upgrade. HTC may make software that is for a device, but the carrier may say no. Sadly, ATT has deemed the Inspire to be End-Of-Line, and will receive no future updates. GB was the last, and final update.
if the new Desire C can run ICS and new Sense on a measly 600Mhz processor, the desire HD certainly can too
Android 4 Life
Desire HD will get ICS, if the Incredible S with the exact same specs is getting it too, then it would be trivial for HTC to do the same for the DHD.

one I do not believe Telus will not upgrade it. If they do not, I will be organizing a petition against them plus they will be getting some nasty phone calls. Plus I have a neighbour that works for Telus (but does not work in mobile) but I will ask him for help with this also.
There is no reason for the Telus Desire HD not to get it, it is not at the end of life, so there should be no reason. I think someone at Telus posted this because they know we are all waiting for it
Also shouldn't this be in general, and not development
Edit: I can not even see the phone on Telus site anymore (does this mean end of life)
