For those of you who havent read yet 2.1 SDK is released http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/01/android-21-sdk.html . Who knows maybe they will play the dog and pony show for us and release it for our phone on the 21st... 2.1 .... anyways heres to hopeing the 22nd update is this one.
Thanks for the update...
Lets hope that January 22nd will be a day to celebrate...
When I picked up my Desire/Eris last week (giving my abused Xperia a break) the Verizon girl was very happy to tell me and my girlfirend that we should get this phone, because we would be getting a 2.0/2.1 update this month!
She said that she recieved this via internal email....
So more Hearsay! lol

I personally can't wait for 2.x but should we stick to 1.5 and see if something like the moto exploit will work on the eris?

That's what I've been waiting to hear news of, but since no one is having any luck with exploits in the current version, who knows, there might be a flaw in the new software somewhere. But, judging from how long we've already been waiting for the software's release, it's highly unlikely.

Just from experience, markets across seas always get it first. Does that mean that it will be after April 26th before the Sprint Hero gets the 2.1 update?
i not surprised if this is true with sprint getting the nexus and the powerhouse is being left in the wind
If this is overseas, this could be 2 or 3 months till the sprint htc hero updates.

Why so pessimistic?? I'm not sure if you guys are right or wrong, but the article DOES say we'd be getting it soon after, why so scared?
Besides...once Taiwan leaks the Hero ROM, won't that be the same as when they release it for our phones? Am I wrong or isn't the overseas Hero the same but with GSM? Shouldn't we be able to perfect the 2.1 ROMs with that? I mean that would be pretty damn close with having the Eris leak as well, I don't know but I just don't see why to be scared and why to not get excited to see the actual overseas leak.

Because TODAY was our original speculation date. So after seeing this, it appears we have a month or more to wait. The biggest thing is that we havent been given a confirmed date and its getting tense.
Anyway, I just posted this for others to see something new.

Well....
Keyword-Speculation..
Stop speculating and you won't be upset...
It's not like 2.1 is going to bring an all new world, once it comes out we're just going to be inundated with well.. what now threads an hour after everyone updates..
Patience is a virtue...
didn't some self proclaimed "sprint employee" leak that date? (i've been looking, maybe they edited their original post)
But I'm going to take everything I read in the future from such sources with an extra grain of salt on top of the first. In other words... POIDH
A couple sites are saying April 9th (now), because Sprint is apparently issuing some network updates then,

Start running the ROMs and I think you'll chill a lot more. Plus if ANY Hero gets updated, I bet the ROMs will be perfected a little more which is still something to look forward to.
I honestly have been on DC 1.0, and yeah not everything works, but then what will work with 2.1? Will we have LWP? The builds we have may even have more than the 2.1 Sprint will give us. I mean keeping LWP off our phones but on the Nexus still keeps a reason to make us upgrade. Which means we need to hack it
Listen guys, I didnt put any exclamation marks in any of my posts. I was just simply bringing up what I found for some discussion on peoples thoughts. I am currently running Fresh Toast 2.0c and completely happy with it. This isnt to start a battle about how pissed I am, just hadnt seen anyone post this little tid bit.
Sprint 1st said first half of the year, then updated to beginning of 2nd quarter, so between April 1st to May 14th. Want some advice? Stop putting so much stock on the rumors and wait for an official date. Sprint is notorious for terrible communication and missing dates so don't expect 2.1 sooner rather than later.
Yes this pisses me off too but it doesn't do any good getting worked up over rumors proving to be false. Personally, the spreading of rumors are more upsetting than the holdout for Sprint.
Jeez you guys cant read. I never said I was pissed off, I just wanted to discuss the date since there was a confirmed one in Taiwan. Im emailing a mod now to close this. FACK!!

Hi All,
Seem HTC has come out and annouced that the Legend will be getting an update in Q3.
pocket-lint.com/news/33997/htc-handsets-froyo-q3-update
looking forward!!!
finally! tks 4 the info
Wicked! Looking forward to an official release and to when it gets rooted.
This has just made my day,fantastic news!
wooooo!!, suppose it will take a bit longer for vodafone to release it though?
I'll be able to renew my contract by November so October is too late for me to enjoy Froyo.
the best part is Q3 technically starts tomorrow.. sooo the update could actually come anytime after tomorrow
looks like the 2 weeks thing is actually starting to pan out
what is Q3 ?
posted again here too:

well conventionally this would around July so , lets say it should be available by end of July, but I guess its up to them.
Still, it's great to have it officially confirmed - finally! The sexiest phone on the market will get even better. Can't wait for app2sd. Yahoo!
3rd quarter of the year, you do the math
Sent from my HTC Legend
Well...if according to the earlier news item when HTC announced that "the Desire will have the update in 2 weeks", then technically the Froyo update will be available this Sunday ... here's me hoping for a nice surprise this weekend!! *fingers crossed*
Also for the person who asked above Q3 means the third quarter of the year, which is the months of July, August and September. So its very possible that we may well see an update for our legend this weekend or early next week.
Can't wait! but does anyone know how to make flash 10.1 work on it when we get froyo?
Wooooot!
This is such good news!! Can't WAIT for Froyo!!!!!
i do hope it is really true, but i would not hold my breath waiting for the update in the next 2 weeks, one quarter is 3 months and it might be available by the end of August. im really looking forward for the update but i wont get my hopes up. hopefully we get it asap though.

nexus one has just released froyo 2.2.1
and legend is still waiting for 2.2.0
Hurry up, legend team./.
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/09/22/samsung-galaxy-s-update-delayed-until-october/
For galaxy s phones.
With the recent update I figured it would happen. No point releasing an update only to release an even bigger one in a weeks time.
Im surprised no one has ported the leaked 2.2 rom for the galaxy S phones.
Apparently the UK is getting it at the end of this month...so it's pretty much a crapshoot.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/samsung-galaxy-s-meets-froyo-by-months-for-t-mobile-uk-customer/
I'll take the average and say October 15th
Now go quote me on blog websites so that I appear credible
Ya so Europe gets the update at th end of october... sprint cdma = end of december.. if we're lucky.
I think it's dumb that phones are even launching with 2.1 now... but to be honest, I only want 2.2 for full flash support. I'm happy with the phone otherwise. I can wait.......
my dock wont be fully functional until 2.2 comes out. boo.

Yeah, can you imagine what it was like to be running a phone with 1.5 when 2.0 came out? Sucked. Especially since Froyo was announced before the Hero even got 2.1 (thank god for devs!)
Samsung_mobiles twittered some News to the relasedate of froyo for the sgs. If this i posteted elsewhre please delete.
"Samsung_Mobiles
All our users who are waiting for froyo , please note that froyo is expected to launch by end of this month. No exact dates are confirmed."
http://twitter.com/Samsung_Mobiles/status/26579290440
The tweet is quite clear yes. However Samsung_Mobiles is not a verified twitter account so there's no telling if they are indeed Samsung India or just some random account so be careful with accepting those claims as absolute truth.

Sorry didnt know and havent looked that Samsung_mobiles is not verified. But youre right, and before there will be great discussions.. Please close this thread, dear mods.
well i do not believe on any news now..samsung has been known for its customer annoyance syndrome regarding updates for long. better try cutom roms.. coz they r big time liars.. dt b surprised if they say "end of november" at end of october...like before
Oh stop whining, it took HTC 9 (!) months to give their early Hero customers an upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1. The Galaxy S got released with 2.1 and it's not even been on the market for half a year and they're obviously very busy working on an update.

Ah, because HTC was slow to update Hero we must shut up our mouths?
Samsung's promise is worth nothing. Froyo is when we see it.
I would like to nag but why should I? Rather let them take some time to polish it up a bit since this will be the last official update available for our phone (damn)
So please just take it as a man, say; "oh i can wait a couple of weeks more" cos by the end of October you'll receive a new phone, eventhough we're tricked with merely new software
meanwhile, kinda happy with the unofficial froyo =/
No companies promises are worth anything generally..
Originally Samsung said that Froyo update will be available THIS YEAR.
Not end of september/october/november.
I do have official Froyo update (it's a jp3 version but I still got it at the official service) and still waiting for the final release via Kies.
So as far as I'm concerned, Samsung kept their promise. No complaints from me.

And in Smsung Spain Facebook page they promised an update for September.
There's nothing official about statements on Twitter or Facebook as long as there's no press release to accompany them.
There's a crapload of work that goes into managing a ROM release cycle and decently testing every update, something they might be inclined to do better this time after all the trouble they got from the original release.
Besides, it says 'Expected', not "Will be released on $date and you can quote us on it".

The big ol' unsourced, unconfirmed, who-knows-if-it's-true rumor of the past week or so has been that Android 2.3 -- Gingerbread -- will be announced/released/something today. It's just about lunchtime, and no sign of anything sweet yet -- though as you can see from the Google analytics above, it looks like it's still pinging around out there.
Will we see it today? Dunno. Will we see it tomorrow? Dunno. Are our fingers crossed? Absofrigginlutely.
http://www.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-coming-today-its-still-pinging
YES PLEASE !
I'm excited to see how it is, no fingers crossed since I'll be waiting for Sprint to push it .
Cyanogenmod will push it before sprint. Our evos are sense devices, so it will take htc some time to get sense on it and sprint.... luckily we have cyanogen

This. Although I'm going to be conflicted between running Cyanogenmod with Android 2.3 but no 4G and the fact that a technician is coming to my work tomorrow to install a Sprint 4G repeater
Damn.... hopefully cyanogen will have 4g done by the time he compiles 2.3
Well I guess the new OTA update released today has something to do with it...

Remember the great modders here beat HTC to releasing 2.2 with sense here! I really wouldn't doubt they won't do it with 2.3 also.
I don't think it is coming out today. Wouldn't the employees release it during their normal shift hours 7-3 or whatever. That is just my thought lol I think they will release it tomorrow when apple releases their upgrades ios 4.2

you wont see a 2.3 with "sense" for a while. HTC is too busy pushing the new "sense" out. U may get a 2.3 "sense" leak by Feb. or March.
Man i wish it came out yesterday :|. Well let's hope its well worth the wait.
oh well for that!! lol.
wouldve been nice if they at least gave us a teaser screenshot or a bit of information to hold us over.. dang..
I don't know why people always get so down on HTC so far they have been great with pushing updates. If an update is coming I don't think it will take 3 to 4 months. Some thought Froyo was going to take a long time too and we got it on a few weeks. If your going to speculate how about speculating that the cup is half full.
From watching all of the handset manufacturers out there HTC is by far and away the fastest to provide updates to their phones.
Samsung still doesn't have 2.2 and Motorola isn't that fast either.
Is there anywhere there is a guarantee that the EVO will be getting the next update?
My guess is yes mainly because it is still Sprint's best Android phone.
