I can tell you that there's a 99% chance it comes to the 820. I think that Desire 820 wasn't mentioned by HTC on the official update list only because it's still not officialy announced worldwide. And btw, even HTC wouldn't end the support thaat fast.
I agree

Not Officials, but
HTC's Android 5.0 update schedule leaks
No mention from HTC yet
HTC hasn't mentioned about lollipop on D820 and D820q . Well if they wouldn't have planned for lollipop then they would not have released 64 bit chip.
Looking forward to CM 12 on Desire820

The new released HTC Desire 826 is running android 5.0 sense 6, but actually it seems the same with android 4.4.4 sense 6 in desire 820... Although ART mode is already applied in the new update version, it's not that attractive at all...
That's why I'm also really looking forward to the CM12 lollipop version on my desire 820, hope we can get it as soon as possible!:good:
I dont think so.
As leak shedule there is no any phone which is getting lollipop as per shedule.
So its confirm no lollipop for this phone as per the behave of the htc release shedule

I find it soooo annoying finding out that branded dhd's are getting the update first (1.84) .. I'm stock with this bloody buggy 1.72 argh.. HTC you f**ked up!!!!!!!.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Non branded, but still get the update.
Mine is unbranded but still get the updated.
But I think, all branded and unbranded as long its from asian region will get the update.
I'm from asia, my DHD from hongkong.
Just my opinion.
Unbranded and got the update. Am from India.
I wonder how long it will take to reach the u.k then ?? Hhmmm

Me too..
Maybe a stupid question, but is there a changelog of 1.84 update? Or is it 1.72 but with SMS notification & SD card fixes?
I wouldn't worry about the delay in receiving the new update from HTC, when the ROM section has some excellent, optimised, images to use.
Setting up your phone (root, downgrading if needed, S-off, Eng-off) to flash ROMs is simple and safe - I managed it without having much Android knowledge simply by using all the guides posted in this forum - I would recommend you go that way.
from what i understand, 1.84 is actually an older build than 1.72 - i know the numbers dont make sense, but i think that is what mike said wo the ACTUAL newest one is 1.72

Meh, it might have some older libraries, but it is basically a step forward as it fixes many bugs and so on. It also has better performance, so I do not understand why mike actually said that..

Depends on what ur looking for... if u want to be able to use WM7 and android this is the only device that can run both atm.
The HD is a very good device and runs both OS's very smooth.
If i were u i would stick to your Desire HD as the specs are better and the device will be more supported in the future as the HD2 is getting older now and wont receive any (official) updates anymore.
WM7 cannot even do multitasking untill end of this year... and by then google will release android ice cream sandwich anyway.
I personally would stick to android, WM7 is just not worth it (yet).
ok. thanks very much for your reply.
i was locking more at running ubuntu. the devs on the dhd have done a brilliant job. but its not functional enough for proper use.
have you run ubuntu on your hd2? if so how does it perform for useability? ie. smS, calls and 3g data
thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Sorry, i did not use the Ubuntu build on my hd2 but im interested in experimenting with it too.
I think i just will get a 2nd HD2 as they r very cheap on the 2nd hand market just to fiddle around with ubuntu, meego etc...
Other people can correct me if im wrong but i dont think it would be interesting for daily use (yet) (from the smartphone point of view)

Doesnt matter how its called, everyone knows what im talking about + i did mean updates from rom cookers OR official updates, thats why i pu it between ().
Besides if HTC doesnt release official updates the community wont have updated kernels to work with.
The point of my post was : why sell the HD if you can have both
While I was surfing the internet aimlessly as usual , I thought to check gsmarena.com for the latest mobile news...etc
I found something interesting, In the CDMA Wildfire (AKA, Bee) I pressed the compare button and chose the normal GSM wildfire (buzz). In the android version the buzz was upgradable to android 2.2 froyo BUT THE BEE WAS UPGRADABLE TO 2.3 GINGERBREAD !!
Aren't they supposed to be the same phone but with different radios ?
A message to HTC: WTF ?!!!!!
Another thing, anyone knows what's the HTC sense version of the gingerbread bee ? Any RUUs available ? maybe it will be easier to port it from an almost similar device
If u wanna check by yourself, click here
Man. I am surprised. Did not even know that a cdma wildfire existed till now. Great to see an upgrade of 2.3 sense upgraded os.

these bees surprise me more and more. even though i am in the uk i am actually considering getting one of these just to f**k with it and see what it can really do. maybe even be able to port a recovery and cm7 to this device. cant be that hard surely. and ive seen the prices used on ebay for about £30 or so but they wont post outside the us :/ i am aware that the call/text functions wont work outside the us but the wifi would still work so maybe i could get this mysterious gingerbread update as well. thoughts?
oh, and ive only been able to find one ruu and i tore it to pieces only to find that its stock 2.2.1
I remember when i was looking for a way to get gingerbread on my wildfire (LOL it seems like it was the stone age then ) I read that someone had his wildfire on gingerbread out of the box.
Till yesterday i was saying "either he's a complete noob or an epic troll" .
Now I knew what he means, he had the Bee an he didn't know the difference between the Bee and the Buzz.
I'm in a quest for finding a gingerbread RUU for the bee. Will report if i find anything

SFM is already the base of our sense 2.1.
However the bee is probably not upgradable to gingerbread, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395647

Probably yes (and no-one did really care as there aren't that many bees out there). In the end we only could find out by getting hands on a RUU...

the bee`s version is technically older as the buzz recieved more updates.
Its all in the Title
If im correct they stop suport in 2.1, why do you think they will give us 4.4?
Im sorry to have to say this but there is no way HTC would even care, nor would we get enough people to actually make this possible. But we do have some devs currently working on 4.4 for the legend.

Yeah, im not saying that it is impossible, in this case we are lucky we got a developer who is working on a KitKat port, but it is not officially from HTC and this is what the thread is about i guess.

Guys, please don't put your hopes too high and take this rumor* with not only a grain but two hands full of salt.
HTC (like all big OEMs) officially supports its devices for 24 months after their market release. The M9 is getting three years old, soon. In other words, it's more than unlikely that HTC will provide any further updates for the M9. Especially since the EOL phase got reached almost a year ago and not just recently.
In addition, why should a carrier branded device get a major android update the unbranded European version or the dev edition doesn't get? Don't forget that these two versions normally got their updates around 3 months before the carrier branded ones. If the Optus variant really got android 8 at then end of February or the beginning of March then SKU 401 and 617 would already be running this newer version since somewhen between late December and mid-January.
Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the M9 getting another major update. However, chances are more than high that the whole thing is just a canard.
* Since this info is nothing more than that.
If a specific career device gets an update, would it be possible for all other variants to run it (ported version , may be?)?
Or, would it be possible to port it to other varriants?

It depends. Theoretically, it should be possible, but some carrier specific feature might not work for other carrier. That is, if the ROM is still compatible with the old firmware.

In general term yes.
Note that carrier specific would sometimes means ril+modem. So in such cases, the port could work but leaving phone and data capability out.
