CONFIRMED : HTC Tattoo NOT getting official 2.1 update

hi guys!
HTC Italy had confirmed recently via twitter that bad news (anyway, we expect it)
LINK : http://twitter.com/HTCItalia/status/17429963594
It says that 2.1 update for HTC Tattoo is not planned just now, but really it says that we never see an official update from HTC. Bet that HTC engineers have encountered problems making work camera and radio...
Our only hope is in our awesome "RomCookers" (such as fyodor, ikxdf, jacob and much more). i will donate as soon as possible for me, the work of those men is fabulous!!

Does´n´t mean that much anyway. I´d rather have my rom from the devs here than HTC. Take for ex. the original froyo from HTC to Desire. It´s very buggy. In contrast the opendesire rom from AdamG is the nicest and cleanest rom I´ve ever seen.

Maybe 2.2 ...

No way... (Why would they bother with 2.2 if they haven't even lifted a finger for 2.1...)

I think that we won't see an update foot the tattoo, ever!
You can see the issues Htc has to face with sense and the hardware in the Kiljacken-Rom - overclocking made it useable, but still you are permanently running low on RAM. SenseUi in my opinion is the biggest problem and Htc isn't going to throw it over board just to give us eclair or froyo...

I'm sure HTC considers the Tattoo as an obsolete device already.

Notice i said android 2.X not 2.1
And she told about 2.1 .. i dont know why she went for the2.1 but its okay.

I've asked 2 times, first was about 2.1-2.2 update.. answer was June 17th 2010
Hi Daniél, Thank you for contacting us regarding HTC Tattoo. Unfortunetely there is no planned Android 2.1 - 2.2 upgrade for the Tattoo. You are welcome to contact us again for further assistance. Best regards, Elsa H. HTC
2nd time I asked I mentioned that now when the newer phones like Desire got it's 2.2 and the older Hero got its 2.1 update, is there any plan for ANY update for the Tattoo?
Answer was August 6th 2010
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your enquiry about Android 2.2: We cannot comment on what devices may or may not get an update just yet.

So what i need for bluetooth!? to work?
I have to root my phone?
I also cant acess wifi connection that requires securew2 login with TKIP

We, Russian users, started spamming HTC for 2.1, but we got the only reply that we won't get 2.1 because of perfomance lowerage. But such words they said about Hero, but the users fought for 2.1 and got it! Now, I think, it's our time. Yes, there is Wildfire with 2.2, but they CAN release the Tattoo firmware 2.1, they just don't WANT to do it. I ask all of you to join our war against HTC marketologists! We MUST get 2.1!!!

low performance.. lol, the Tattoo got more or less same cpu/mem as the Hero, if Hero can, so can Tattoo.

We thought in this way, too.

Ok, I'm in too... so, what's the plan? How to fight for 2.1 upgrade?

There's nothing you can do with fighting for an upgrade. HTC doesn't want to. You have to accept that. If you really want 2.x go to the development section of the forum. You will find a few roms there. They are not working perfectly (Camera and FM don't work and some minor bugs) but at least they work. If you want to do something for a perfect tattoo 2.x rom you have to help the developers in building it. If you're not skilled in developing yourselves you can help them as testers.

Help please! Phone doing crazy things!

Hi all.
While driving home today, I had the music player on connected to the car stereo, and it kept skipping tracks backwards and forwards, then started dialling a friends number!!
This happened two or three times, so I done a restart and it was ok.
Anyone else had this?
Is it likely to keep happening?
I'm new to the forum, and to the Leo, but really loving it and would like to keep loving it
Thanks, Andy

Hi there!
So you say you are new to the Leo, so it might be that you have not installed the latest ROM yet.
Also don't forget to install ALL the hotfixes, there is also a hotfix for music stability for the latest ROM.
You can download the official ROM's from htc.com.
Good luck!

Hiya.
Many thanks for that.
I got the HD2 second hand, so not sure what updates have been done.
I'm using ROM version 1.66.405.2 if that helps?
I'll have a look on the HTC site and see what I can find.
Many thanks

I would take a look at the HTC website anyway as some operators have 1.72 ROMs (which are the 1.66 ROMs with all hotfixes applied)

Upgrading DHD to Gingerbread 2.3

Hi, not long had my DHD but it came with Stock Firmware from Orange so I successfully installed 1.32.405.6 which is all good so far!
I now want to upgrade to gingerbread 2.3 which looks good from what I've seen on youtube! Just want to know if there is an upgrade guide online anywhere? Also will I be able to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 in the future if I don't like it?
I also noticed that a few of the 2.3 roms have a few glitches with certain things not working on the phone. Is there a stable release where everything works properly as it should?

I prefer to wait for HTC to release a 2.3 version. I am sure the usual suspects will do a great job optimizing it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

does any know if 2.3 has improved bluetooth compability with mw600 headset for caller id

We only really have Cyanogenmod 7 at the moment. It's actually pretty stable for the most part but it still need work.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.

i myself am using mcdv's modified CM7 rom. it's actually pretty damn stable for nightly releases, and so far i have literally zero issues with it. i vowed myself before that i would wait for htc to pack sense with it and then use that but i fell in love with this rom when i tried it on.

Hello there,
i just want to know that is it possible to downgrade to froyo if i need to due to some operator related issues?
Looking forward to your kind reply.
Thanks in advance.

There are rumours about Android 2.4. Google is going to do an Android Event on Feb 2nd.
I think they will announce 2.4 officially & I think HTC is busy with updating the HTC Sense to this version of Android.
But who knows, let's hope HTC won't give up with updating our beloved Desire HD

now that would be nice.. Looking forward for it.
still stuck with the 2.2.... still not getting 2.2.1, so i'm getting little worried..

Yep. I was able to flash the leedroid froyo rom after just to see if i could. But for restoring froyo backups i think you need to reflash CWM 2.5 (because you will then be using CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash gingerbread).

Is it really needed to take half a year to get a damn update? If we eventually get 2.3 when will we get the next one, after 2 years?
The mobile manufacturers are really doing a bad job with their updates, and we need to put some pressure on them.

it's just something you have to live with, once you've got the phone they lose interest in you and try and attract new paying suckers customers, if you want the latest and greatest go with the custom ROM's i.e cm 7 which tend to be at the head of the field

And what do you consider a 'good' job? Diverting all resources to updating the DHD? What about the Desire? Or the Hero? Or all the other phones? Or maybe you think that because you bought a DHD, that's the only phone that must get updates? And what about developing new ones, so the company doesn't fall behind the competition? 2011 will see boom of tablets, dual-core CPUs and whoever knows what. According to your logic HTC should make one phone and dedicate to supporting it for years. It might work for Apple, but that's because no one but them makes IOS devices, so they don't have the same competition, as all Android manufacturers face from each other. HTC are doing the best there is regarding the updates. If you feel that's not good enough, you can always try a community ROM, HTCs devices are the first that get them anyway.

Just been to that link and saw this written in one of the posts
Here is a litte guide for using fastboot:
First of all you need the newest Android-SDK. You get this here
After installation (or extracting for Mac/Linux) copy fastboot into the "tools"-folder. You get this here
Your phone needs Engineering HBoot, have a look here
Now download CMW 3.0.0.5 into your tools-folder.
Now reboot your phone into the Bootloader, plug in USB and on your PC switch to Terminal/Command. Change into the tools-folder.
In terminal type:
fastboot-mac flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
and press enter.
(If your using windows it's just fastboot and on linux it's fastboot-linux.
You can flash a radio by copying a radio.img into the tools-folder and type
fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img

Click to collapse
I have done the first 3 but don't understand about the Terminal bit. Can someone explain?

is there any news on OFFICIAL HTC update for gingerbread??

Yeah sure, but why do you really need 2.3 what is really as much better?
They should make better Apps and better Engines for Games first before they make all these versions.

desire s 2.4 ginger

Hello
Whats about Gingerbread 2.4 for HD2
(the best one would be the desire S or not?)
is GB2.4 already avalible for development?
Will GB2.4 come for the HD2 any time?
thx

I will tell you a secret now. You must promise not to tell anyone else.
Even though HTC have not released a Sense based ROM with Gingerbread 2.4 (to everyone else, yes I know he means 2.3 Gingerbread), I happen to know of a developer who is presently working on this build!
I will give you his link but you must promise not to tell anyone... OK?
Black Arts Development Corporation

there is time for desire s build.
but incredible s build is almost done.
New Sense works flawlessly smooth without overclock!
