Desire HD 2.3 Update Info!!!!

Desire HD getting update around two months after New announced models are released in april.

Usually a ROM will leak from a device like the Desire S before it's even out, and that will have gingerbread and the new HTC sense on it - all it then needs is for someone to port it to the DHD (which shouldn't take long as they're nearly the same phone anyway - maybe a change to the dialler as the S has a front-facing camera) and then we'll see custom roms with it way before HTC could be bothered to release it.

there is a thread directly below your discussing GB, why start a new one? and this is only speculation, HTC has not announced anything, in my experience with HTC and updates, i wouldnt expect GB before august/september

I'm dissapointed, its obvious they have the update ready as the devices at MWC where running the new 2.3 and they looked fast and polished and the new Incredible S with almost identical hardware as the Desire HD was running it too!

Wrong. The Incredible S will be out with Android 2.2 at launch.
Hope we get the update as faster as the Increbile S at this point...

Yes, but why would anyone want to buy an Incredible S if they released a Gingerbread update for the Desire HD that made it just as good......??
Think business sport, this happened before with the HTC Hero and other phones

It must be 2.4, not 2.3, because I heard that HTC will skip 2.3 update and move straight to 2.4.. Watch Desire S hands on, it will include 2.4(I guess )

Thread Merge
Mods - I suggest a merge with the other thread!

are they planning to release on all branded and unbranded dhd at the same time?

If they want me to ever buy a new htc in the future, they'd better keep giving updates faster. I hate competing with samsung galaxy s

News 2.3 update

Any news guys about the long waited for 2.3 ??
(Last news was it will be released on the first 1/2 of April)

Awwwwhhhh, by your thread title and the devil avatar - you had me going there that their was some more news on this!
From what I have gathered, the last I heard and saw yesterday was that the network Three UK announced via Twitter that they are going to be rolling out Android 2.3 very shortly for their branded DHD's and that it was still in the testing stages - other rumours and reports suggested that Three UK won't be rolling it out until May time now but nothing has been confirmed.
Most reports suggest that the un-branded users will get the Android 2.3 update first before the branded users - but still, no date has been announced apart from that it was expected sometime in April.
In my opinion though, from what Three UK have announced - I don't think that both the branded & un-branded users won't officially see Android 2.3 at all now until May time or possibly slightly later.

my apologies if the title & the avatar are misleading.
hopefully we (branded & unbranded users) all will get it around the same time, unlike the 1.84 which I'm still waiting for, Convinced myself us the unbranded users will never get that update. currently stock with buggy 1.72.
I agree with you Liam, we will get the update much later then the end of April .

I have the inspire 4g which is the same as the desire hd and I am not sure when we are getting the update I rooted and installed the Shokouhi Super Ace rom with the leedroid kernel and now I don't want the update I have tried a few roms but this one has been the best I can overclock to 1804

CM7 is already available, for your gingerbread fix and as a plus it will get rid of Sense as well.

No need to appologize for the title, I found it amusing afterwards lol!
If we do get the Gingerbread update very soon then it's likely that we will not see the 1.84 update and I reckon that the Gingerbread update will indeed be the next OTA update.
According to another article I read the other day about the Gingerbread update - Besides the DHD, Gingerbread is also going to be released for the older Desire, Desire Z, The Incredible S & a couple of other models that I can't remember the names of.
Latest news today - Three UK have confirmed that they will be rolling out the Gingerbread update for their branded DHD's in the middle of may;

That's HTC Desire, not Desire HD.

Oops - my bad! :/
Surely though, if it's coming to the older Desire - then that means it will definately come to the DHD shortly.

I too like the HTC sense , unfortunately we won't get the new one featured on the HTC sensation , well not all the features, this is due to hardware. My source is HTC via tweeter.

What I don't understand is why release the 1.84 update for branded DHD's but not the unbranded ones. When clearly branded and unbranded users have been effected by there buggy very buggy 1.73 build.

you won't lose the sense ui when you root, that will only occur when you install another (non sense) ROM

Once you root, you will get an amazing ROM WORLD

Petition HTC release an ICS update for the Desire Z

It was confirmed today that HTC will update the Desire HD to ICS.
I think this is unfair, the Desire Z was released at the same time and cost the same. I have and still maintain that HTC should of never pushed a sense 3.x update to our devices, But with the announcement of the HTC One V and the leaked RUU's i can confirm that we now have a version of sense that runs very well on our devices.
So I am asking you to take 1 minute to sign the petition to get HTC to release an update for what seems to be a device they have forgotten about.
Please post this link on your blogs, twitter, facebook and anywhere else that you can get it some coverage.

Just a random thought. Could it be that they wont release ics for the dz ( just yet) because they are giving the older models, as we can see with sensation and the xe and xl. The 3.6 version of sense wich would run slow on our devices.
Maybe when they update there whole line with sense 4.0 the dz may get ics?

Yes i have read that but it says nothing about wich sense version they are using. My thought was the whole list is getting sense 3.6 wich maybe is to heavy for our device?
Sent from my HTC Vision

The explanation regarding Sense 3.6 and 4.0 can be seen here
HTC Sense 3.6 preview by Engadget
Both versions were developed in parallel to each other, which gave us even more reason to initially believe the two would be closer in look and features than they actually were. So what gives? According to HTC, there are a couple reasons: first, users of legacy devices are accustomed to the previous interface, and the upgrade adds the features and benefits of ICS without upsetting that user experience. Second, only the One lineup can support ImageSense, which is an integral part of Sense 4.0.

The reason the G2/Desire Z is not receiving the ICS update imo is the issue of RAM and not being a high end device (not worth the time in HTC's opinion?). All those devices on the update list are high end HTC devices with 768MB+ of RAM.

While I agree that they really skimped on the RAM with the Vision, for what it's worth I have signed the petition. I hope HTC listens.

because we didn't receive 5.1.1 update .... really very disappointed from HTC with m9+
Sent from my HTC One M9PLUS using Tapatalk

HTC are horrible with their updates. The M9 is more widely spread than the M9+, though since our phone is newer I would have expected them to at least release the update at the same time.
Too bad devs aren't working on this phone, HTC is a real disappointment...

"HTC are horrible with their update" ??? Look at Samsung, Sony, LG, etc. Actualy HTC is the fastest with updates. M9+ will be updated in feb. or march if everything will be ok.

Nop bro we got MM update on the G4 1 month ago already, but we lack good devs for the stock LG MM,only one is actually active, there are tons of CM 13 though.
I think HTC will release it on M9 because it was more sold, and as a flashship it ''has'' to be served 1st, the good side for M9+ users is that M9 users will have to pay for the bugs while you will get an ironed out rom
BTW do you know if M9+ Supreme Camera can use custom roms from M9+?

Sorry, my error.
---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
It seems there are no M9+ phones on USA market at all.
So since the update for M9 is only available in USA, and not on other parts, I guess the same time when update for M9 is received in Europe, there will be one for M9+ also.

Will the M9+ get Android 7.0 Nougat?

Thanks to HTC's hard work, we've finally receive the long awaited Marshmallow updates. With that said, there's another question that is left unanswered. Will HTC continue to support this device with the new Android, the Nougat 7.0?

Nope. This is a worst phone from HTC I've ever had

No... The update was supposed to come in Q1 as stated by an offical HTC employee, so if that is the case then it will be cutting it pretty close. So much for the "90-day update promise"
You can check this link to see if the update sources have been released for the M9+:

i wish i had bought m9 instead m9+

It is frustrating not to have the 6 update yet, but ultimately there isn't that much you are missing out on. Plus, I value the fingerprint button, so I definitely don't wish I had the M9.

I love this phone too, even though the fingerprint button seems to fail sometimes forcing me to use PIN (dunno why)... anyway I haven't seen any lag so far and I am definetelly happy with the performance... So maybe I'll have to wait a bit longer for the M update, but that's just something that happens and does not mean this phone is a piece of crap at all...

Don't hold your breathe, MTK is notorious about bad update support, even HTC can change little about this. I'd be surprised if it happens in April

Hopefully. This is very amazing phone and the fingerprint is awesome, with M it will be better for all the additional functions. Hopefully the upgrade will be released soon. I remember that one important developer published a roadmap foe the upgrade and for my one was the Q1 2016. I am a bit disappointed for this because some old phone already got it, but I live HTC because the smartphone are the best one.

Yup... Second that.
But.....
I would look forward to receiving the update very soon.
I recalled the device, ONE X9, got the android M with MTK chip(MT6795T) same as M9+.
Stay tuned.....

They are focusing on the most sold devise now . M8 & M9 ( M9 the one I trade it for the plus . )
Hope we'll receive the update before the launch of the #powered10 , otherwise sense 8 should be considered

Hi there!
I'm actually thinking to buy an M9 plus supreme camera edition and I was just searching about the Android 6.0 update...I hope this is just a delay and that the updated with eventually comes out. By the way I have 3 questions about this phone and I'm sorry if I'm out of topic but I think that I can find some users here better than open a new thread.
1) I'm in Italy and here this phone is imported, not officialy sold by HTC so what about warranty? I can manage to buy one a used one from a guy but then I'll be totaly uncovered?
2) Standard M9 has Qualcomm 810 which get hot but should performs well, this M9 plus supreme camera has a mediatek Helio x10, how does it perform? I want HTC also because software responsiveness is one of the best on android phones.
3) My operator carrier operates on 4G with these frequences: 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz while the HTC one M9 plus supreme camera supports
FDD-LTE：B1 (2100MHz)/ B3 (1800MHz)/ B5 (850MHz)/ B7 (2600MHz)/ B8 (900MHz)/ B28 (700MHz)
TD-LTE：B38 (2600MHz)/ B39 (1900MHz)/ B40 (2300MHz)/ B41 (2600MHz)
So basycally it miss the 800 Mhz would that be a problem?

battery performance is very bad... we want 6.0...

Just bought today an HTC One M9 plus supreme camera edition and as for this very start moments I do like it, it seems very very fast. It's running android 5.0.2, I don't know if it's the last version avaible for this phone. I suggest that we start asking HTC directly when 6.0 update will comes out!!
