Was there a leaked update on the HD2 on 8/28 or 8/29 that I missed????

I have heard rumors, but nothing substantiated....and a search is turning up nothing.....

I keep an eye out for that kind of thing, and I have heard/seen nothing about that. Although, I do believe there were a number of new Android builds for the HD2 that came out right about then, are you sure it wasn't one of those that you heard about?

I read about it on the T-mobile forums. The person in question also stated that it was up on this website, but now the thread and all links have been removed/deleted.
Conspiracy?!?
Or BS???

Yeah if they pulled the thread and the links, I'd assume that someone called bs on it and they did what we would do here, and just trashed it. It's possible to that it was in reference to the release of some specific ROM (or ROM build) on that date, but my guess is that it was just someone trying to stir up trouble...you'd be surprised how often people actually do that in this type of environment

Yeah, they quoted that the links were directly from HTC....not uploaded to this site or some other site. I'd post the link, but I'm not sure if that is kosher on this site (or the other).

I just looked over HTC's official support pages for the HD2, and I don't seen any new updates of any type, not that recently anyway. If you have the link you can PM it to me and I'll check it out real quick and see if it's 1) valid, and 2) ok to post here.

K thanks Jimmy, I looked over the thread you sent from t-mobile's forums, and there's no problem posting the link here as far as I know (I'll post it below myself, just in case). But after reading it all I also couldn't find anything more substantial than just what that one member was reporting...which was just mostly that he'd seen "something" on HTC's site related to an update, that was supposedly later pulled down.
I'll note too that any updates for the US T-Mobile version of the HD2 wouldn't come from HTC's site anyway, they're only ever released (officially) through the T-Mobile support page for the phone. So, it's quite possible that even if there IS an update about to be released, it might only be for the euro version of the phone...and since official ROM updates always include a radio, it would likely be incompatible with the US model (i.e. it would brick any one that it was flashed to).
Here's the T-Mobile thread it was mentioned in:

Are Tweets to @samsungukmobile being Ignored

Guys,
I posted a message in the topic 'The best way to convey your message to Samsung is via Facebook' see Post 14.
In that post I mentioned messages I am sending to @samsungukmobiles are not appearing on their web page here.
This now makes me believe that someone at Samsung is deliberately ignorinf the tweets being sent.
Given that I was told Samsung use Twitter as their prime message conveyer I am wondering what the heck is going on.
I've sent off a message to Samsung but as of yet I've not heard anything back from them.
Therefore, what I would ask of you is those that have a Twitter account, could you please send off a tweet to @samsungukmobile and afterwards look to see if it appears on their twitter page.
Again their twitter page is here.
Could you please post back stating either yes your message was added to their twitter page, or no, it was not added.
The more tweets that are cancelled the stronger my argument with them.
This way I will know one way or another if the problem is my end.
Thanks
Beards

It will not get added to their page, it will be added to your own page showing that you have sent them a tweet. It will however appear in their time-line that they see privately along with the other hundreds of tweets they are bound to receive every month.

So the messages from other users (not Froyo related) that are displayed on their twitter page... how come they are generated?
EDITED:
Just realized, the messages from other users are simply Samsungs replies.
Okay, it then proves Samsung are merely not bothering to reply to any of the tweets being sent yes.

Nail on the head

Great....
If anyone else can make a tweet to Samsung and lets see if they too are ignored.
With the results I'll have further ammo to blast back at Samsung.

that's the difference in nature between Tweeter vs. Facebook
Tweeter is like a 1 way communication, it only shows what the account owner types in the page
Facebook is 2 way, you can post stuff directly into their Wall, the account owner can delete the stuff if they choose to, but if they care, they will leave it there and reply back to it, or simply ignore it.
i sent a tweet to samsung uk as a test, let see if they get back to me

Is there anything in particular you would like me to ask them? Just incase they do reply, you would have a useful answer

Yes please..... Ask them:-
"It has been mentioned quite a lot of replies to @samsungukmobile are being ignored. Proof of this is shown at @samsungukmobile where there has not been any replies nor comments since the 20th Sep".
It's a long tweet so I'll leave it to you to abreviate as you see fit.
Thanks.
Beards
EDITED:
Just noticed Samsung have actually posted a tweet....... Their first since 20th Sep.
Unfortunately it has NOTHING to do with any of the issues we are talking about.... It's to do with the Galaxy Tab where they are asking readers to Check out iGizmo's piece on the Galaxy Tab, which basically is yet another marketing plan.

no response to my enquiry yet

Many thanks.... The more who try this ther stronger my case.
On a same note ~ I've posted many, many times on the UK Facebook and just the same... NOTHING back from Samsung to either declare or defend the posts.

I didn'd receive a response either, although my tweet was a bit harsh so it's to be expected, LOL

Today, i actually had a long conversation with @samsung_Mobiles.
Check it out on twitter
My Acc is @CrAsHeRiT
It seems that they listened to me about Lag issue..and i linked them to XDA & Voodoo Project.
Hope it's the time to get things fixed.

Thank you.
It would appear at least your Samsung twitter part responds. The UK twitter clearly does not.

That is the Indian Twitter account, im seriously suprised that they are replying to you :O
Sad part is that they are stating the release of Froyo @ end of October

thanks for the list

I've sent a few messages over the past few days but nothing back off them. Methinks their continued insistence that froyo was coming at the end of the month was wrong and they are now keeping their heads down.

Same thing here, they've ignored my Tweets in regards to the bugged/locked bootloader.

Update for anyone tracking the 3G Upload issue

Just wanted to make sure folks here had heard the latest...look for the last post by a Sprint admin in the "3G Upload Capped?" thread (page 36 of the official Epic 4G forum at Sprint.com).
Sorry, I'd post a link but because I'm considered a noob here still, this site won't let me.

just post the update here with quotes, that way I can see if it's the same one I saw a few days ago and saw in a thread here

Well, Desi (Sprint Admin) first replies on page 35 after a bunch of us are ranting about this issue, saying:
"Wanted to let you know that the fix is still in process and I will update this thread as soon as I have a release date.
Also, I just accidentally deleted several posts (meant to remove only one, but removed it and all it's replies)...so if you have one missing (for no apparent reason), please accept my apology!"
Then after a few folks ask what exactly the issue is and how are they fixing it, Desi replies again on page 36 with:
"I don't have any specifics on the fix...only that it's a software change and will be released asap."

Yet another 2.2 post - Verizon Fascinate

Yeah I know another Froyo 2.2 post. But I found this interesting that the Samsung product page for our phone has it listed with 2.2 coming standard. Maybe a clue that it will come within the next few months.
This is the Fascinate for Verizon network.
Hopeful for 2.2 yes, will it happen, probably not soon. I can wait.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I500RKAVZW

there are multiple posts about this same thing....
search for those...

Well that is a step in the right direction. The picture under the little article "Galaxy S with Android 2.2OS" still says 2.1 though, but eh at least they are acknowledging that 2.2 is coming very soon.

Figured i would get flamed for this. But all the rss feeds today are posting. sorry guys, did not read every single 2.2 post from start to finish to realize this was posted.
Anyways. Site is inconsistent. who knows when it will happen. I am not getting my hopes up for it. just thought i would share the already shared news again.
Cheers!

I'm not sure about other people on here, but I appreciate the info. Since this is the first time I have seen it. Also because it is not speculation, it is straight off of the samsung site.

wasn't Flaming you or bagging you, simply saying some other posts here and at www.Fascinateforums.com have more info from Samsung reps...

i don't see 2.2 on that page...it shows 2.1 under specs and near pic?

Looks like the over zealous web programmers have fixed the Fascinate for Verizon to show only 2.1 again. Someone either jumped the gun or is just trying to get peoples hopes up.
Hope they got a good laugh!

Voice Your Support for Stock ROM release on ZTE Forum

There us a thread on ZTE forums asking about stock ROM release. If you can, please lend your support (comment, like, etc.) to show that there is an interest in this. I believe that now with a maintenance release around the corner is the right time to push for this. Here is a link to the thread:

Re: ZTE A2017U_0B20 FULL Update Package / Factory Image???
sshasan sshasan Employee Sep 7, 2016 8:09 PM (in response to Isaac Borjas)
Alright, you dragged me in here...
The core moderation team does not post in the Dev Lounge because news travels faster than lighting.
Do you remember the post that went up on XDA when I first made mention that that ZTE was listening about having the bootloader unlocked? Yeah, that was me and I was thrown under the bus.
We aren't ignoring the requests for the images. Everything has a process and some take longer than others. It's not as easy of a task as some may think.
Is it being worked on? Yes!
I'll leave it at that.

If ZTE would post their stock rom I would never have had to make an RMA claim on the phone - I could have fixed my problem myself

So no need to vote or post something in the ZTE forums?
I get my phone the next days, and I think we need to make more requests for the source codes from ZTE.

I just got off of live chat with ZTE support - I was told that R&D was working on posting the A2017U full factory images as we speak and I should check the ZTE forums for updates on that process (at least there is some hope now)

I'll repeat it again here as well
I have temporarily stopped the form from accepting new requests for good reason.
1.) The process for unlocking the bootloader will be changing if all goes well with testing. (This includes stock image)
2.) There is a software update coming next week - Since stock images have not yet been released, instead of adding more customers to the mix of those who will not be able to update, I've decided to not let this happen.
