http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/03/...ndroid-2-1-update-for-hero-and-moment-over-t/
If you recall, about a month ago Sprint tweeted that it was working on delivering Android 2.1 upgrade for its HTC Hero and Samsung Moment in early Q2 this year. An optimistic guess would be April, right? Funnily enough, Techie Buzz has heard that two eager customers managed to squeeze a more precise date out of Sprint over a phone call -- end of March or even March 26th. Don't go reaching for that champagne just yet, though -- a self-proclaimed Sprint employee shared a recent internal memo on XDA-Developers forum, revealing that it's "actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks," and that "more information coming in April." Oh Sprint, you do love playing with our little minds, don't you?

@ tyrnight
just because it's posted on Engadget today does not mean its recent news.
On average, Engadget can be 12 hours late from the source when it comes to news originating from ppcgeeks, sprintusers, xda, howardforums, etc. I'm not surprised some stuff leaks through their newswatchers from time to time.
We appreciate you posting this up for the people that havent seen it, but dont expect a standing ovation...

....at this point I am just making good on "what we have" and counting my blessings/creating some good stuff
The "real" 2.1 update is going to suck eggs anyway, until the devs here get a hold of it and make it right.
ANY date that you hear that isnt directly from sprint is inccorect. We dont have a date, other than second quater wich has just begun.

This will be followed by eight thousand posts saying "Just installed official Sprint 2.1 and now my phone is bricked. Please help?"
THAT'S when I'll believe it's really out.

Because when the "official" release comes, then the devs will be working with raw materials that have all the bugs worked out.
Personally, I think the official release is coming soon, and the devs are already working with it, but that's just a gut feeling. It would be cool to know for sure...
This just in... any release from Sprint is going to suck compared to what the devs here have given us already... we now resume our regularly scheduled awesomeness of dev ROMs

yeah if youre happy with a miserably small 4" screen and cant wait a few days for a 5" one. everyone will laugh at you and say "look how tiny his phone is! what a loser". do you want that? i didnt think so.
I don't think you get what I was saying. People here were saying that given it's a Sunday, Dell wouldn't release the phone on that day. I simply responded that the Captivate was released on a Sunday. So in other words, I was saying that a Sunday release was possible.
As for the rest of your comment, I personally don't give a $hit if someone else thinks my phone is too small or too big.

its august 1st. you have 24 hours to be correct.
All AT&T smartphones are released on Sundays (iphone exception). I don't think the Streak will be released today though. If it were to come out tomorrow that means we could pre-order today and that's obviously not happening, so lets just hope for a release within 2 weeks from now.
What do you guys think the holdup is? The phone had been in UK nearly 2 months now, how hard is it to swap radio band & release? I think they are waiting to put Android 2.1 on it;-)

I read on another forum that folks in France now have it. Still nothing in US, this really doesn't look good for Dell!
DL11 is the offical update. OTA
Bluetooth voice dialing, improved bluetooth support
Flash, gps enhancements,improved os. Hop updates also available
Expect a rollout over 4 days
if this is true, guess what i don't get for christmas?!?! froyo...
i get it the day after.
Should be official just got the rundown, things can always change but the info I got is as legit as I've seen
What is the sources for this information
If it from sprint or samsung its bull****
Why can't they tell us something true for a change :-(
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Where did you get your info from?
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
If true, should there not be DK28 to DL11 updates rolling out to .4 hardware right about now?
Ill believe it when i see it. Sprint and Samsung are horrible when it comes to keeping promises to consumers. Honestly, a bunch of "trained" programmers cant make a stable release better than our community of no-payed programmers. they have all the driver specs and full source codes, while we have to wait for dump files and leaks to create our roms... Its just plain pathetic and a bad way to do business.
Hopefully noob will chime in and give us the skinny
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
its a sprint based material... seen it while assisting someone and it caught my eye. Looks like they added it to the info for epic but havent gone public yet it says effective date dec 26. Since it was the first solid date I figured id share it .... I did preface it knowing sprint and samsung can always change things. I didn't make a post for people to question the date or call me out. It was the first solid piece of info I seen about froyo from sprint or samsung with a date. I contribute nothing to this site sine I cannot develop but have visisted this site for over two years....I finally thought I have something to add.

I for one, as I'm sure others are as well, glad you shared what you know with us.
I hope you'll forgive our skepticism, however. We've been hearing many similar rumors for a while now. At this point, I think it's reasonable to expect sources to be cited when throwing out any concrete info.
We're not looking for personally identifiable information that could get anyone into trouble to be given out. Just some back story to give us a reason to believe what you're saying.
I hope you'll understand that it's tough to believe "some guy on the internet" without any sources cited.
You have to understand
No one is directing at you,but at Sprint and Samsung.
Damnit, i was hoping for froyo before my Christmas trip. Guess I will get a delayed present instead.
I'm sorry for being a silly defensive goose, I don't know how to prove what I seen without risking my job. Believe me I've had the hero I know how long some uss have wait and be promised only to be pushed back and disappointed. I was troublshooting today and seen the update info, its only listed with device info. Not as the normal "we are updating this phone" announcement maybe it was a mess up with IT. Take it with a grain of salt. Which I should've included in the first post.
I heard it would be released Feb. 30th.
Are they gonna release the source too? That's what I really care about now...
Yeah, on Feb. 30th we'll have everything.
Nobody should get their hopes up. Remember back in August when they said mid to late September? Same deal most likely applies here.

Ok, based on a few suggestions, I am starting this thread as an Android 2.2 rumor thread for the Epic 4G. This is to be the ONLY thread complaining, whining, commenting, or asking about 2.2 on the Epic! Report all other threads about 2.2 rumors on the Epic and I'll merge them into this one. Also, repeat offenders who make more then one new thread about 2.2 outside this one will be infracted/and or banned for trolling. Thank you for your cooperation, and happy posting

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.
