These guys are saying Orange & T-Mobile are rolling out 2.1 on the 16th April
I know it's unofficial but certainly coincides with Legend release dates.
Hilariously, they site the XDA Developers forum as their source.
THEY SITE THIS SITE AS THEIR SOURCE
That's Hilarious, When did XDA Forums become creditably supplies of information for the Hero 2.1 release schedule? How many missed dates have people gotten their hopes up for?
Ah well, My hopes are in a bucket in a ditch. I will not be raising them

Agreed, to be honest I think it's more likely to be early May before they release 2.1, almost tempted to sell the Hero and just buy an unlocked Legend when it's released.

Another site reporting that the 16th April is the date:
http://mobilenews.omio.com/mobile-phone-handset-news/htc-hero-gets-date-for-android-2-1-update/
would be interesting to know where they are getting the information from, must just be a massive rumour mill somewhere.

Heh I've given up on trying to educate people on correct spelling and grammar. Too many are of the attitude "well you know what I meant so it doesn't really matter".
My pet hates are of course your/you're and there/their/they're. It would probably take someone less than 5 minutes to get their head around given the correct definition yet incorrect use is rife on the Internet.
My pet hate is the use of the word "loose" when the correct word would be "lose".
For example: "I don't want to loose my settings".
Arghh!!!!
topic please?
OT
But it would be appropriate if you wished to loose your settings, like the hounds of hell, upon the unsuspecting public.
P.S. You could try the Villain 4.0 Beta 2. It seems pretty good and battery life is amazing at the moment for me. It is built from a Legend leak - but does chew up a lot of memory - I suspect that HTC engineers were liberal with memory use because the Legend has a bit more than our Heroes.

There are loads of threads with "possible" 2.1 release dates, and all of them are of less value than a discussion on grammar and spelling. It is especially true of this thread since it is only regurgitating a rumour that started on another thread in these very forums!
Personally, if I were a mod, I'd lock any thread with a purported 2.1 release date because they serve no purpose other than to get peoples dander up when the date inevitably passes with no update!

+1 !!! I definitely agree. I wish people would just post their useless links in an existing thread rather than keep starting new ones.
Ah more info, have no idea if this is any more reliable than anything else.
Engadget just posted it as being the 26th April http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/
Just another rumour ...
Not user x and user y are spreading them, companys like engadget are spreading rumours and they have the aura to be close to the manufacturers but aren't ...
Why should HTC issue an official release date on plurk and nowhere else?
Let's just wait and see

I searched through the forum, but found nothing relevant to my phone/carrier. Anyone heard anything about the 2.1 OTA update from T-Mobile?

There are actuly hundreds of web pages that discuss this so you didnt do to much searching.
The 2.1 Android update will hit between Now and the end of May. Ranging from the NEW mytouch/Fender LE, Cliq, Cliq XD... The old 32b Mytouch will most likely not get a full 2.1... The G1 sure as hell cant handle 2.1, but supposedly a stripped version of 2.0 is being made for it.
Google Tmobile 2.1 ota update.
Can't wait. Stripped version or not.
I agree, it doesn't really matter if it's stripped down or not. It just means there will be driver for the 2.0+ roms... imagine the improvement this will make for the current eris and legend roms.
We need to close this thread. There are DOZENS of threads regarding the 2.1 update. Do we need another?
Wow, looks like no one ever had anything positive to say when you ask a question. Seems arrogance gets the best of "devs" these days. I pride myself in finding the information myself when needed, but according to some I didn't search enough. Now look, it's almost august and no 2.1 for a lot of devices. You could have simply resisted the urge to share your arrogance and just not posted at all. Thanks for truly helping, you are a credit to the human race!

The update got changed from Android 2.1 to 2.2 and it is scheduled to be released sometime in august according to a leaked document from tmobile. Feel free to google it if you like.

Alright. That's enough!
I'm going to "jump in" and close this redundant thread.
@OP, NOBODY in this forum knows exactly when or even if the update will be released. Anyone that says otherwise is misleading you. Even if the person has reliable information through reliable sources it is still up to the carrier to release the update and I don't have to tell you how much can change at the last minute thus making those reliable sources unreliable.
If you want any information about future OTA updates contact your provider.
If they don't know then what makes you think that any of us does?

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI
Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.
This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.
Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.
you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....
I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

who cares!
we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.
I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.
Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.
I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).
I love my Hero but I've been wondering what new phones, official and rumored, are on the horizon. October a year will be up so something by the end of the year would be great.
Oh, touchscreen keyboard is my preference but since others might like to know what Android phones are heading to Sprint with a physical keyboard feel free to post either.

Again, if anyone has heard any real potential android phones coming to Sprint please drop some info and/or sources.

It seems like this question gets asked here at least once every couple of weeks. Here's one from just last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762198
The bottom line answer is always something like this:
Checking tech sites/blogs like Engadget, Wired, CNet, etc., as well as the official Sprint web site, is probably going to have just as much info and/or rumors as we would here. People who are "in the know" about what might be coming out soon are probably under non-disclosure agreements and can't even answer this question.

The forum had one of its moderators, Stefan, said that the company is making "some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal"

The OP didn't even point out the original source of this articles information.
It came from this thread
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=8010381012acde012b9e2be812007deb
So "real news on 2.2 for T-Mobile?", yes, but what it really means, who knows.
Anyhow, is 2.2 in late November good news or bad news even? If you took a poll of users, I'm not sure that the average guess wouldn't be later than that.

I would say November for the US is a bit optimistic, aren't they still rolling out the last update to users still?
I can't see them still rolling JI6 AND 2.2 at practically the same time
Even if its true, that spells bad news for samsung because WP7 will be out soon and folks will jump ship. But this move could be intentional by tmo so they can boost the MyTouch 4G sales upon release. You never know. But frankly I am pissed off by the wait. Samsung needs to step in and do something about this.
What everyone needs to realize is that T-Mobile US and T-Mobile UK are technically different companies with different phones and different networks. They just have the same name. Whatever happens with T-Mobile UK doesn't matter for T-Mobile US.
I'm willing to bet that we don't even have 2.2 before the December rollout of 3.0

I visit the forums almost daily and there is always somebody spewing the same "if you don't like it then make your own" statement. You guys are as bad as the people asking about new roms and 2.2. The OP has a legitimate question and he wasn't rude about it either.
I'm curious too is this because the need more then the source or are they just trying to finish up the builds they were working on before the 2.2 source came out.

No, it's because they're on a message board that they can say anything they want.
You ask a legit question, but if you've spent any time on these boards you should know that a "Where's Froyo?" thread is going to get hammered. And if you didn't know that, you should go to the Development forum and find out where Froyo is. From my understanding, Eugene373 is going to drop a build soon.
Go follow any one of excellent chefs/architects that work on the vibrant. They seem to work endlessly in putting out new content and in fact eugene had posted a few times on his twitter about 2.2 and its coming along.
Do a bit of outside research and you'll get your information. There is a Jp3 froyo in the development section as well.
Its a legitimate question but common sense and just basic browsing of the dev thread would have given you a clear answer.
