What you have now is a buggy version of a leaked HTC firmware for Sprint's Hero.
Get some realism into your life!

We are currently using a leak from Sprint.....not sure what you're using. Mine isn't buggy, again, not sure what you're using.
Just my thoughts.

There will be some benefits to Sprint releasing a 2.1 update. With everything that people are doing on this forum, it has not made me dying to know when we will get the update but don't act like we won't benefit from it being released.

I'm not sure how much we'll benefit as the official is said not to support LWP and we have that working now......

i think we should initiate the hounding NOW for the kernal scource; i know its early, but im sure it couldnt hurt!

We could care less about LWP and other crap... we want the kernel. So we benefit when they release because they will have to release the kernel as well.

does the kernal come with the rom? i was under the impression they were released seperatly.
sorry if im wrong.

haha my email had ALOT more info than that. but anyways we should be getting it this week. according to the email, and the evo will be out 2nd week of june. priced 199 for new contract. and i get to play with it on the 17th of may woooo.
anyways lay it to rest. let the 2.1 come out so we can see if the audio issue is gone..

199 new contract? what about an early upgrade? full 199?
whats the policy on trading in heros with cash. i read somewhere you can get 80$ for your used hero. could my hero be used as 80$ credit towards that 199?

the only price that bbym has set is the new contract price. 199. i have not heard anything else. and we dont do trade ins yet. i know we will begin taking console games towards credit soon. and remember all this can change at any moment with sprint. the good thing is that since bby purchases the phone from the manufacturer, the evo out right price may be 599. since the hd2 is 199 new contract 599 outright. only time will tell.

im not very good at all this. i came straight from metro pcs (short jint with tmobile, but no contract)
so the bb price is sure to be different from sprint?

Umm, if the last kernel release is any indication.. we won't be seeing that source the same day the update is released.. not even close.

The source doesnt come with the rom. htc or whoever owns it, has the rights to it for a certain period of time after the release. But since it is open source they have to eventually release it. I read somewhere else it can be up to 6 months after the release.

What you need to know:
With all the anticipation of Nexus One joining the Sprint Android family of great devices, customers with the HTC Heroand the Samsung Momentwith Googlemay wonder about the Android 2.1 platform that supports Nexus One.
What you need to do:
We know that technology has enabled greater productivity and spontaneity in our lives, and because of this we have become very dependent on staying connected. Customers don only expect more from their wireless phones -- they demand it.
Let your customers know we are actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks.
Look for more information coming in April about Android 2.1 platform for Hero and Moment.
And dont forget:
The HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment with Google are superior devices.
Sprint is the only national U.S. carrier to offer HTC Hero, and it picked up top honors as Best Mobile Handset at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
About.com readers have also nominated HTC Hero as their favorite smartphone for the 2010 Reader Choice Awards.
doesent suprise me thats why i just went back to old trusty 1.5 and going to try to block 2.1 outta my head cause im gonna die of high blood bressure waiting for it to officially drop
good thing 99% of my customers dont know wtf 2.1 is anyways lol.
It's not as if these new 2.1 ROMs up on this board are totally useless.
These new builds are stable enough for everyday use and aren't that different than what the official 2.1 will provide.
The jump we've made in just the last week is far bigger than the difference that the official ROM is going to give us.
yea i use 2.0b i love it! screw sprint lets go xda! lol were just basically missing the friend update thingy from these builds pretty much nothing more i believe.

Just left sprint store in houston texas asked about 2.1 update...

so i have a sprint store down the street, i went about 2 hours ago and i was chatting with this guy who seemed to know about rooting and etc. he was a rep; so i asked him " i know you heard something about the update, and the rep told me we are getting our update on MONDAY. Whats funny to me is all these reps are full of crap, they all tell you different things, but this guy seemed pretty confident that were getting our update on monday, lol i guess we will have to see right guys? just thought i would share...
the tech center at my local sprint store said june, so theres your answer. they are all full of ****.
Screw Sprint! I am getting all my updates here!
lol yeah man, i want to believe him so bad, i know we all do, were all hungry for this update, i mean i love getting my roms here, but i just want the official to launch because it helps our devs make our roms nastier lol. other than that sprint can kiss my azz
Regardless of when it comes out, I will still be waiting since I will only install it when a dev here makes a ROM of it. I will not go back to stock RUU ROM from Sprint. No thank you.

How likely would Sprint/HTC be to try and "fix" the asroot method of obtaining root? I know people who are too scared to do it, but I was wondering if after the update, they'd be out of luck until a new way was found.

That came with the Sprint leaked ROMs. If you have 1.5 it will not be on there. It's on the 2.1 Could not be getting our phones ready for an OTA as those that are stilled unrooted running stock would then be screwed out of an update. I think it is so we can get updates HTC may make to Sense UI and apps that they build.

very likely since it is on the newer linux kernel which patches the way we rooted the hero.
Yeah, I chatted with a Sprint person/robot thing and was told it's coming "very soon", and this was last month, so who knows when it's coming, all I know is it'd better be PERFECT when it's out seeing as how they're taking forever to release it.
go in there on monday and ask why you havnt got it. please i wanna know what they say lol
i work at best buy mobile and we dont hear anything about software updates. only hardware. i had to tell my boss about cliq updates haha.

There has been no date yet.
I flashed my phone with the 2.1 leak rom, i tried to do an update by it said the server was busy.

I think we're getting DL15, not DL11 - Found this on samsung.com

Every morning I do a quick search of the interwebs to check for new ROM leaks - so I search "Epic" "Froyo" "DL11" "DL15" etc.
I just googled "Epic Froyo DL15" and THIS was the third result. It looks like an unfinished FAQ for a DL15 update.

So after more than a week, Samsung still hasn't completed this simple FAQ, no wonder it's taking them so long to get FroYo out.
I don't see why they wouldn't push out the latest version. Average person isn't going to want to flash again a week later for minor fixes.

This is really the only reason I miss the evo...atleast the coorperate devs t htc and sprint rolled out updates...they have gotten 3 updates while we are still stuck on di18
I have to be honest, I'm really reconsidering buy this thing. The evo can be modified in all kinds of ways, and it gets updates from Sprint/HTC in a much more timely fashion.
Samsung and Sprint doesn't seem to give a crap about the Epic for some reason, I'm not sure why since Sammy has sold close to 10 million of these galaxy s phones. I mean if you don't support these devices and provide timely updates, I don't see people being repeat customers of Samsung.
This has been my first non HTC smartphone, and frankly its looking to be my last, its a shame too, the hardware itself is terrific.

It's not that they don't give a crap about it. Froyo was designed on and optimized for a different processor and file system. For whatever reason, Samsung insists on using their own file system, which means they basically have to port Froyo to work with their specs. In addition, a company that only makes phones and pda's like HTC, can concentrate 100% of their resources on those products. While Samsung is making microwaves, TV's, Cameras, and whatever else, so they prioritize a little differently.

There comes a point though when they have to actually release something. Would you still be ok with the wait if they decide to start working on build DL21 and then move on to DL24, etc... and not release a damn thing in the mean while?
This is just freaking ridiculous. We were promised before the end of the year we would have Froyo and it seems that is not going to happen now.

At the BB I went to they were speculating $200-$250 2 yr so $450-$500 for full.
Pre-ordered my Evo 3D today...theyre hooking me up with a free device because of some terrible customer service I received, then complained about.
First one to pre order in that particular store too...which I was happy about. I was the first one to reserve a nintendo ds when they originally launched and I was the first one to pick it up launch morning...but I digress...Im very excited to get this device, mostly to get it rooted+2.3+1.2GhzDC+Sense 3.0! Hopefully unrEVOked and/or rageagainstthecage methods will both be available!
If history repeats itself, I could see the Evo 3D on June 4th. Here's hoping history repeats itself...in this particular case ONLY!

I was thinking the third, though I have nothing to base that on. Seemed logical though because
- its ~ 1 year from the initial release
- also a friday (as was the 4th)
- preorders at best buy today - don't these start ~ 1 month in advance?
- I want it to be sooner than later...

Didn't see this posted anywhere, except in the rumor thread.
So, EI22 gets its own thread. Now, time to pull out the flame hammers, and start bashing Samsprint!

why 2.3.6... the nexus s 4g has 2.3.7
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't 2.3.6 and 2.3.7 made to fix problems specific to the Nexus?

as was 2.3.5... but as zander pointed out to me the original glaxay s got a 2.3.5 update from samfirmware... but 2.3.5 was for the ns4g to fix the speaker and signal... so idk... the original nexus skipped 2.3.5 and got 2.3.6.. then the nexus s 4g skipped 2.3.6 and got 2.3.7.... and that included google wallet... so i can now pay for my gas with my phone... oh and google even gave every ns4g owner 10$ in google wallet... which was cool lol
At least they're still working on it huh?...that's good to know.
Latest leak for T-Mobile's Galaxy S 4G the other day was updated to 2.3.5 so kinda surprising they haven't also switched to that while working on our Epic 4G.
If we get 2.3.4, it wnt even matter, case we'll be able to get CM7 working, then it won't matter what version samsprint gave us

Yeah, I don't care if official is 2.3.4, as long as it comes out soon, and they release source with it. Then we'll have out fully working CM7, and awesome custom roms/kernels..
I'd rather them NOT continue working on it and just release it so devs here can fix all their f-ups. Samsprint sucks balls. After the delays Samsung has caused for both Froyo and GB, the only way I'm getting another Samsung phone is if a gun is held to my head.
I should have learned better after dealing with the Samsung Rant for 8 months.

So the millions (exaggerating) of uneducated people can blow up samsprint's phone lines and be like wtf this isn't an upgrade? Not everyone knows what root is... Samsung is just playing it safe. To the uneducated MASSES, they don't even know what gingerbread is.
[edit] that seemed kinda rude...but samsuck could care less. they could drop everything now and we couldn't do anything about it

This happens everytime we go more than a week without a new rdf. Don't ya love how they assume that root users are the majority?? Lol
Nevermind the fact that Samsung/Sprint have many PAID developers that have JOBS to do this development, compared to the dwindling number of UNPAID hackers that we have here.
Some people just get too worked up.
I really can't promise I won't get a samsung phone. Right now, they're so far ahead of the competition. My next will probably be Nexus or Samsung, which ever has higher specs and is on Sprint.
