Verizon Statement on Froyo

Anyone else thinking its not going to happen?
They just started the iPhone hype so I'm pretty sure nearly all of their resources are going toward that.
AT&T will probably have an official statement first...

You honestly think that the iPhone release will take out all of their resources that they can't make a statement about the release or status of the update? Pondering things like these leads nowhere, that has become more than evident with all of these froyo threads. They are full of speculation and made up conspiracies because people are so absorbed by the thought of companies withholding froyo from them. Enjoy your phone, rom it and change things to your liking...when we get froyo, we get froyo. I really dont understand why people need to make endless threads about this.

They should make some sort of filter that prevents you from posting if Froyo is in the title... or heavy moderation, this is getting ridiculous.

This was a major let down! As the title states, I was expecting to read a public announcement on the update from Verizon. Total waste of time.

Wow I really thought they released a statement... smh at the owner of this topic

I dont really post much, but I must get this out, WTF is up with BOTH samsung and verizon.
Verizon isn't just the one accountable for it, Samsung is as well,they are slow on updates.
LG just released the 2.2 froyo update for possibly the worst phone ever made the LG Ally.
The other thing I'm not getting is why the development is slow for the fascinate, are people just not that interested in the phone as other phone's ? No disrespect for the developers. I'm just stating that other phones have had 2.2 for a LONG time and the fascinate is just barely getting into 2.2 development.
Dont tell me its because GSM and CDMA are different. Honestly I have ported GSM to CDMA android phones just fine, yes it takes some time. Right now im currently looking into how the samsung is all set up so I can take a shot at some things..
end rant...

I believe your talking about porting a rom from a GSM phone to a cdma phone.... what's up with the fascinate is way more then that.....

Anybody who starts yet another of these complaint/conspiracy threads should be auto-banned.

This is an email that I recieved from HTC after emailing them asking about the sense 2.0 update (some things removed from it for my privacy):
Dear ,
Good question! We understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device.
I'm happy to inform you that your phone, the HTC Evo is definately on our list to recieve the 2.3 Android OS update. This update is expected to include an update to the Sense UI.
At this time, we don't have an exact launch date. However, we estimate that it will be available in the second quarter of 2011 (anywhere from the beginning of April, to the end of June), assuming that there are no major setbacks. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be availble for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/htc) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/htc), and of course, HTC.com.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Uhmmm what? If i wanted the iphone i would have gotten it already. Screens to small. Os is eh.. i have an itouch for apps and music so there is no plus there. The evo is getting gingerbread...
So what about the iphone 3g? Apple is no longer supporting that phone either. hmm...

The fact that you're posting in forums designed specifically to incite interest in rooting phones and installing the latest firmware tells me you are either an idiot or troll, op.
Likely both.

I don't have an iPhone so, well, I'm not sure I'll ever have an iPhone.

Have fun with your iPhone. One less troll on xda.

Whaaaa? I thought April Fool's Day was on the first. In so far as I can tell, the only thing Apple has to offer that Android doesn't is the number of higher quality games, and that gap is shrinking in a big hurry. Beyond that, my Evo does everything an iPhone does, and I don't have to put up with AT&T or Verizon. Bonus!
And at any rate, didn't Apple and AT&T brick a bunch of iPhones last year with OTAs?

Yea, and they will brick it remotely if its jailbroken now too, bunch of phone-nazis!

The evo will not be the first to get the GB update, but we should get it eventually

Grr .. New Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread build for Droid X reportedly is pushing OTA

http://www.androidcentral.com/new-a...ing-over-air?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=twitter
A new build of Android 2.3.3 for the Motorola Droid X is making the rounds this afternoon and reportedly has hit up a few people OTA-style. Here's the deal:
We're looking at Android 2.3.3. That's Gingerbread, folks.
It's system version 4.5.588 -- the leaked build we played with last month was 4.5.573.
It's said that the update might be pushed out silently -- you could get it an not even know it. We'll believe that when we don't see it.
If you don't feel like waiting for the update, you can update manually. (We've got instructions after the break.)
And if you do update (manually or over the air), the old 2.3.340 SBF file will still work, just in case you need to roll back.
So, that's that. We're halfway expecting Verizon to let us know if this thing's for real -- they've been really good about announcing updates the past few months. Anyone actually seeing this over the air yet? If you wanna give it a go the manual way, head on past the break. [Droid X Forums via P3Droid and Android Central Forums]

Same sh!t, different toilet.......GB will come when its time.

HTC is losing their edge to Motorola. They'll even let you downgrade from GB.
Not a good look for them since many people are so loyal to HTC for that very reason. And now that Motorola is talking about easing up on the rooting crowd...

One of the first makes no sense, of course it will be one of the first even if it's the tenth.

Uhh. One of the first is kinda general.. there is no definition for it.
Being THE first and ONE of the first is a huge difference. If 30 android phones eventually receive the GB update and the EVO was tenth.. then yes it will be one of the first, especially if the EVO gets it in June and the other 20 don't get it until November.
I think you just like to argue or you got defensive thinking I was talking about you.. when I don't think I was.
Either way, all I ever said was the EVO would not be the first to get the update since there were leaks already for Samsung and Motorola phones.. and I got flamed for it.

I'm hoping the source drops quickly so we can get some fixes in place for the brightness bug on the other ports.

Filet hope it does come out tomorrow, the deb's have been waiting for this and hopefully they will give us a fixed port in gingerbread-->Sense 3.0

This is great news. We might start seeing Warm Gingerbread soon

This is awesome news can't wait to see what devs do with it!

Can New EVO's be Rooted Still?

Seriously considering going back from the 3d to the original EVO as the new one...mine at least, simply has too many problems that get in the way of actually doing work on the thing.
Can a new off the shelf EVO with the current software build still be rooted?
I did search but didn't find an answer to this specific question so any help would be greatly appreciated.,

If it has 2.3.3 and the radio is s-on you're out of luck....for now.

quite funny on how you did a search, this Topic is plastered all over xda and android central about not being able to root with a 2.3.3
On the other hand, i've heard plenty of rumors that they 2.3.3 was recalled and they are not updating now.. which sucks because I got mine with a 2.3.3 and hate not being rooted

But will HTC really unlock the 4G now that the 3D is out? I've not been able to find anything anywhere that specifically states that the 4G will be unlocked in the future. I'm pestering them on Facebook and so far they've refused to say that they have any intentions of unlocking the bootloader.

i doubt htc will unlock evo 4g. this will have to be done by devs.
htc said they will try to unlock future phones... not past phones.
it started with evo3d & sensation.
locked htc botloader is not new... evo 4g has always had it...this new one must have some type of new security.

It is too bad that they can't put the previous bootloader back on the phone through an update or something. At least that could be worked through.
