Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for Desire Z

Seems the Desire HD and Desire Z would be the first phones at the Desire
series which get an update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread:
A HTC representative confirmed that the phones would be upgrading to Gingerbread during our natter at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but he wouldn't provide exact dates. We did manage to get HTC's man to say that the first Gingerbread update would be released within a month of the Desire S hitting shop shelves, but then he changed his mind and said it would probably occur within two months.

Why not eh? The nexus one has gingerbread already, the desire has very similar specs Also the desire just has a different CPU and GPU to the HD, they're the main differences

because the device is a year old and it's already had one update from eclair to froyo. maybe it will get the GB update, but i would bet my house it dosent its one of the reasons i upgraded to the DHD

It is as per claims from HTC during MWC or CES forgot which one. Still, the Desire tops the list on Techradar as best phone out, beating the likes of the iPhone, Samsung and the HD itself, and its their most popular device by far I reckon.

Probably they won't update the old Desire. The DHD will get the same software as the Desire S because they are essentially the same hardware apart from some mild differences.

No it dosent, the desire had dual touch, it can only physically detect one touch, it uses a software algorhytm to work out the location of the 2nd finger, this leads to axis flipping, meaning you cant cross axis's making it useless lol

Desire HD apparently getting theirs OTA now. Surely ours should not be far behind.....Surely?
What it means when ours is released is hopefully rmk40 will release an official virtuous 2.0 rom. It might also move us closer to the point where they release the kernel source and we can start seeing overclocking kernels for Gingerbread sense roms. (and trackpad wake etc)

According to Engadget:
"That just leaves the Desire Z and original Desire, both of which should be joining the party by the end of June. "
So more or less two months later. No matter, maybe they will make even more fixes and changes for us. (Maybe a version of Sense 3.0 for our "weaker" phones - but I doubt that)

The only reason they are saying end of June, is because HTC said it would happen by end of Q2. So it can happen anytime between now and the end of June.

True. But I rather expect the end of June and be surprised than the otherway around

Haha, set you expectations low, and never be disappointed, eh?

Anywhere soon is good for me Even though I'm already using a better ROM than what they'd bring out haha (TrollogenMOD ) Also... It won't take as long as it took my Hero to get 2.1 I bet

This sums up pretty much every expectation in my life lol.

Given the track record with everyone involved regarding prompt releases (Google, T-Mobile), it'll be at least November before it's actually available. How many months were us old Dream users waiting on Cupcake? Donut? Eclair (which turned out to be vaporware for the Dream)?

there is no way it will be november since we already have a leaked version for the stock gingerbread rom and it seems to work perfect... i dont see a reason for it taken to long to be released.

Not yet, but i saw that Desire HD and Incredible S had already be update by OTA, so maybe release for G2 in Q2 recently?

I'm glad I recently got rid of my Cliq.

Wow, a lot of G2 owners here that came from the Cliq. I gave my Cliq to my dad after I got the G2. I remember Motorola's definition of "coming soon" for the Eclair update. Lol
Luckily we had developers like J_r0dd and HandlerExploit working on the Cliq back then.

Exact date of official UPDATE to ICS

I ask from htc and give a exact answer!
please see the attach picture!!

By end of year, so it could be april to December?
Geeeez
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

This makes sense,because all big updates had been around november / december for desire hd. Unfortunately. So rooting and flashing custom roms is only alternative...
Sent from my Smartphone.

By that time I wonder most DHD users have switched to new device having ICS preinstalled. Anyway DHD can get ICS update is a bonus of this 2 years old device. ICS is a little bit too slow to push out. Most software developers have still need more time to release software compatible to ICS.

HTC Desire HD to get the taste of ICS with HTC Sense 3.6. The rollout will begin in the last week of May 2012 starting with Europe.

Last year the passing from froyo to ginger was made in may too.

Said some one in the post! Nice!
there will be small update to ics to fix or add something but that will be the last update to this heroic device! right!

If HTC is feeling charitable we might see a full sense 4.0 ROM

I don't think we will see the update until the end of the year, although i hope I'm wrong.

is it only me or does it seem like the picture is photo edited?
you can never trust anything these days

Don't think the pic is edited.
Anyway, time will tell if he is right or not.
I hope we'll get the update asap, but htc doesn't consider it a priority.

Don't worry about that, the internet is a huge vortex of fake celebrity nude pictures, so at least one person is going to having suspicion about the authenticity of your screenshot. I don't think he meant any offence. Now, back on topic. I'm really looking forward to this update, hopefully it will include the new, 40% faster, adreno drives. The lack of developers have come as a shock to he DHD community over the last few days, due to everyone migrating to the HTC 1x. I will start developing for our humble device when this is released. It makes all of our lives easier, I wont have to worry about the camera bug and everything will be working smoothly. I think the wait is worth it guys and gals, just remember, patients is a virtue.

The thing is really interesting...and sad!
In example: i was a galaxy s (sold because i LOVE sense) user and the developers activity around a device older than desire hd was/is totally different: is like if the interest around that device will never die.
I know i'm a bit off topic, but i like to understand this.
Why, by you DHD users, we are left alone by developers?
There is an huge escape from desire hd due to which reason??

I hope the update will include a 2000 mAh battery for DHD

you are the second user talking about a beta test build here....I think there is a very selective "secret" closed beta test....which should not be discussed or spoiled here, but you are doing instead....pretty confused about the situation....
anyway, if this is true it confirms what I just said 2 days ago about MM update. HTC is having so much issues with this update, that a leak would be completely bad, and will drop users hope instead of hype them

The fact that there are beta tests isn't a "secret" at all. You can always sign up at HTC Preview (not only for the M9). Nevertheless you're not allowed to talk about anything related to beta builds since you have to sign a NDA beforehand.
Edit: I didn't sign up at HTC Preview and am not interest in doing so in the future so I guess this post cannot breach a NDA I never accepted.

Can I know the exact date when m9 will be getting 6.0 n what about battery issues and warming ? Will they minimize or worsen the battery
