Hey guys check out the Linpack scores they are getting on a Nexus One running Froyo.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...-it-compared-to-2-1-oh-only-about-450-faster/
450% faster than 2.1??? Seriously? ;o
I hope we can get to a point where it's easier to get the stock roms on the hero and other phones. Maybe the mode 'module' design I've heard discussed will help things along.

tbh im think this is whats holding up 2.1. i think the hero will get 2.2 and sprint will skip 2.1 all together, makes sense if you think about it.
"Sorry, your HTC Hero will not support the Froyo update. Please buy the HTC Superhero due in Q4 2010."

Even so, good firmware can't make up for lack of processing power and hardware. It would never run like it's meant to.

Wonder how long testing will take.
ha, they said "security updates" Im wondering if they are going to add another "perfect spl" in the update so it will weed out the people whom have "rooted" their phones. The same thing that Sony does with their devices.
forget about 2.1 .... Nexus one already have 2.2 update today
What does a Nexus One have to do with the Magic or MyTouch3g?

well #1 2.2 isn't even released yet. #2 Will the device be able to handle it spec wise?

1) 2.2 (Froyo) is released and already available as update for Nexus One.
2) Cause of Jit, Froyo will most probably run better on our device than Eclair.
Rumors: Android devs said the Google Ion will be getting Froyo.
Ok. I was talking about it being dev for the MT3G.
I would like to see 2.0 on the MT3G to. Im waiting for T-Mobile to release it.
Hello!
I have heard that Samsung is very very bad with update their phones and give them new and updated software...
Has somewhere an idea how this could go with the I9000? It will come out with Android 2.1 and 2.2 is now on the run!?
Greetings... Plattfuss

2.2 isnt even out yet, and alot of current phones from various manufactures have different dates for the 2.2 update.
But if you are talking about rooted devices ... guranteed that once galaxy s is rooted it will have froyo.
Besides that me persoanlly i dont really care for the 2.2 update. Im running a stock nexus one and the only thing i miss is wifi tethering. But that comes out of the box with the galaxy s.
According to gsmarena and another website (can't remember which) Samsung have confirmed that GS will get an update to 2.2, so if you're worried just wait until it is officially out. If it takes too long you can buy another phone instead.
Do we know for a fact 2.2 is coming to the already sold Dell Streaks and not just the ones sold after the update?
Hi cirian75
Yes Dell stated before the Streak even started being sold that it would be getting an OTA direct from Dell to 2.2 in September. There is no way they would just put it on new Streaks and not upgrade those already sold especially as they will only be a few months old.
Marc
cool, just gotta track one down now for not stupid money.

Like Dogmann said they don't like to Affect there image specially at the moment of the launch of the new tablets running Android OS with 7,10 & 11.5 in screens.
Yup you have to remember that the Streak is Dell's flagship smartphone.
They have an entire ecosystem of tablets coming out all based on android.
To screw up and not put 2.X on the phones is not in their best interests.
on one of Dell's blogs (direct2dell) its been mentioned a number of times about an OTA froyo, even just a week ago about Dell and Adobe Flash
http://en.community.dell.com/dell-b...0/06/23/dell-and-adobe-flash-player-10-1.aspx
As I mentioned in my Streak post, when the Froyo upate comes to it later this year, it too will have Flash capability.

We'll utilize that flexibility via over-the-air updates for platform upgrades, Adobe Flash 10.1 on Android 2.2 later this year, plus other enhancements like video chat applications and more.

Don't hold your breath for a September release; if it happens this great but prepare yourself for a Oct/Nov release so then they are can start working on update the Streak to Android 3.0 by Dec/Jan
can someone tell me has the streak go 512mb of ram program memory? i know it has a 512mb rom chip and 2gb flash storage what about ram some say 256mb some say 510mb whats the truth? if its going to able to run gingerbread 3.0 min spec is 512mb.
Yes 512MB, but like all such androids right now only 399/408 is usable to apps. I think its a software thing, so if we get gingerbread all 512 will be there in some form.
This is awesome so we know that the dell steak will capable of handing gigerbread man thingy majig.

I don't know when the next update is but I read they would have the "Gingerbread" update on the first of January... that is a lifetime away .. What would 2.2 give me that 1.6 won't? Came with 1.6 BTW .. I had Nexus One and I don't see any difference really. Maybe I am just not that well informed, plus I have only had this less than 24 hours .. Comes unlocked to ATT and T-Mobile. [those are the 2 cards I tried.]

2.2 is faster, more stable and supports flash. Plus its newer which of course = cooler.

Do you live in the us? It's not even out here yet...
2.2 is much better than 1.6 in many ways. Wifi hotspot, voice text entry to name a few!

Hi shEEEsh
Well 2.2 really is a major leap forward compared to 1.6 to 2.1 it is far more then just a few added apps or UI enhancements one of the main improvements is the Jit compiler i think that's the correct term. Anyway when they added 2.2 to the Nexus One with all the enhancements it brings performance improved by something like 200-500% which anyway you look at it is huge. The difference between 1.6 with the customised Dell UI and apps is hardly noticeable when compared to 2.1 the same won't be true once we get 2.2 and i just hope it comes early September or even earlier via Custom Roms.
Marc
... not to mention internet shaing via wi-fi tethering (without having to root and install an app) and USB. That, plus flash and the performance enhancements makes me very much look forward to 2.2!
I heard today from a guy at a local store, that he heard from an inside source of SE that the reasons the update is takibg long is because they devepoperw are having lag issues caused by the increase in color denisity (65 thou to 16m), theyr working on optimizing hd recording where thyr trying to get higher fpses as well as optimization regarding 720p playback... other improvments that he mentioned where problems known in 1.6 such as low incall volume as well as the poor battery perfomance...and that the update might be posponed to late q4............ this is not an official source so its possible that some of he said if not all wasnt true i just hope the update will be worth the wait
I will be crushed if I have to wait till end of Q4
2.1 is outdated now , we need 2.2 like the rest of other devices
sony should do it fast there is lot of competition in the market like desire,xdroid etc
They should release what they have and fix any issues with updates.

This would do more harm than good. Ask the Xperia X2 guys about their first update.

Lemme tell ya, coming from a nexus one running 2.2 I was not impressed with it compared to 2.1. froyo was supposed to be such a big deal and to me nothing really changed. I'm Perfectly happy with my x10 now and ill be happier with 2.1....more so than I was with my nexus one with froyo.
That are bad news hope they will not come true. But on15.September HTC releases his desire hd. As soon as it is to buy here I will order it.
I'm wondering if I will get first 2.1 or the desire hd ?

Q4 now?
So I guess it's confirmed for release in early 2011. Can't wait.
Wow late quarter 4. Now sony is taking the piss if this is true.
They should skip SE customization in the first release and release with stock Android 2.2 without wasting more time to solve issues with their 2.1 release.
If this is true and 2.1 come end of Q4, it will only make SE look even worse than coming out with 1.6 now. By then all new Androids will probably already come with 3.0.

but lots of apps are changing their supprt to froyo including flashplayer and crome to phone , and using benchmark it indicates abig improvement in speed over 2.1
Nothing official yet anyway. Still looking at end of September. They would be shooting themselves in the foot by delaying, especially in light of the at&t release.

So, if I told you a story about how some dude on the subway today was like "The update for 2.1 was delayed until Q2 2011" would you believe me?
Not exciting. All hearsays. I'm already desensitized.
why are people bothered about the SE 2.1 when we have some of the best dev's known on the task of getting us to 2.2???
dont live your lifes waiting for a SE 2.1 as chances are you will get more and more wound up about it.
I think Sony Ericsson should just release a clean Android 2.1/2.2 for our device and then later on one with their custom UI and let the users decide what type they want on their device in the future.

Another comfirmation from sonyericssonUK twitter. ''@Dacihappymaker Hi David, The upgrade to Android 2.1 is due for release before the end of quarter 3 this year. We hope this helps.''
