Android 2.2 Froyo for magic??? Source Phandroid & Neowin

Quoting Phandroid: Link
"I was a bit skeptical when a user from 4chan claimed to be an “android trusted tester” and posted screenshots of a MyTouch 3G supposedly running Android 2.2 Froyo – afterall we know how easily those “About” screens are faked. But after some trolling (”No one cares, take this $#!* to XDA”) and small talk (”is it nice”, “hurr”) the OP follows up with a picture that has me (at least partially) believing. Well, not ONLY believing… also yearning for the arrival of 2.2..."
Quoting Neowin: Link
"As we now know, Google's next iteration of the Android operating system is rumored for release at Google I/O next month. To make matters even more interesting, Phandroid has posted some pictures showing a HTC Magic running Froyo. The images are not confirmed to be real, but assuming they are, Android 2.2 will add a new level of convenience to the Android Market.
One of the pictures shows a feature to "Allow automatic updating" within the Market. The example shown is with Google Maps. Assuming this picture is legit, Google is really taking their app store seriously and listening to the suggestions of its users. Whether this new feature will only work for specified applications (such as Google branded ones) remains to be seen. Such a feature has the potential to cause problems for users if the wrong apps are allowed to automatically update themselves. Developers could be able to force ads into their apps, as well as push malicious code."

This mean that we will be able to run Froyo on our devices??? Would this be fake or real???

who knows if its real, but i doubt we will get 2.2 before any of the big boy phones like nexus, milestone, x10 ect ect...
we'll be getting 2.1 (well 32A anyways) sometime this summer..
i wouldnt hold your breath for 2.2 ...

HTC One’s camera greatly improved with software update

According to the Singapore-based HardwareZone, after recently swapping out an HTC One review unit, it was noted that the camera firmware had been updated from the previous handset they had been testing, and luckily, had already taken sample pictures with. HardwareZone was able to compare images taken with the first One running the older firmware, with their newer model, and the results speak for themselves.
HTC says that the final versions of the units that will be released to consumers will contain the updated firmware.

couldn't find any links on the thread, so had to make a new one
btw, this new firmware is coming with the retail products being shipped now itself

LoL firmware did so much better photos really LoL...now its obvious why they are short of camera modules...they have to manufacture more modules with good lens to exchange the faulty ones...thats why One is late and firmware update is only the guise bravo HTC good move...still cant wait for my One

Is it just me or the "Better" phone has a closer distance to the target than the "Bad" one?
Cause obviously... The closer the target is the more detail the picture gets.

I was thinking exactly the same.. Every test should be identical.
Although it doesn't explain that much difference in quality I think.

In case you guys missed this in the other thread.

Updated 26/3/13: HTC has clarified that the second unit which we received "has the final commercial firmware, compared to the original unit which was pre-production and had an isolated hardware issue, which resulted in differences between the two sets of photos taken with both devices." According to our understanding, all the commercial sets which will launch in April will come already updated with this firmware. As such, there will be no second camera update for the One, unlike what we previously wrote below.

Low (to none) Light Performance
Just wondering if its only a few that have this...quirk:
When there's nearly zero light, does the photo show as black or lots of noise?

Sounds exciting but first bugs in the existing stock firmware need sorting. Such as the uncalibrated magnetic sensor and the slightly inaccurate gps

You are not the only one. This is due to new mtk drivers. You can install new kernel with fast charging in twrp recovery

That's great news, I've seen so little mention from others I kept trying alternative chargers and cables, although I must admit I will have to research as I've no experience of tampering with phone software.
(I came here originally for expert comment on the phone, before buying).

Read the post(s) about this I posted recently in my DarkSense kernel thread - we have fixed it on current software versions.

Worried about the software update for your Honor 8? 2 Years commitment is here...

I was looking lot of threads asking about the update for the device. Whether it will get the update for Android N, O ??
Here I'm going to answer all those people with Honor official commitment as proof.
Honor is now promising that its device is guaranteed to receive continuous software updates over two years, and a bit more afterwards in case of critical bugs similar to Quadrooter, Stagefright bugs. That’s almost as good as the Nexus promise.
Nowadays, Android users have begun to be more conscious of each manufacturer’s software updates, how fast or how often they roll those out, especially when it comes to critical security fixes. Trying to appeal to such users, honor is promising a 24-month period where users will regularly receive new features and , of course, security updates.
So here is honor’s road map for the honor 8 in particular. The smartphone will get updates that include new features, that is, not limited only to bug fixes, up to 24 months (2 years) after the product lunch. Within the first 12 months, in fact, honor plans to roll out those major updates at least once every three months, which practically means there will be at least four major updates within the first year of the honor 8’s life. Security updates and bug fixes will be rolled out “in a timely manner”. That, however, doesn’t really say whether honor plans on releasing monthly security updates as Google does.
However, Honor does promise to go the extra mile and release very important security updates even beyond that 24-month period. Honor, unlike other OEM's have a track record of updating its Honor 4X till date (2 years from the date of release). It might be little late. But mostly it wont deny.

This is the only problem I can't stand abt this phone.the updates are too slow..
It's a shame this is a great phone for the price

Hi!
Can anyone provide feedback about this update? Does it really improve things overall or also add other issues?
I have been holding myself from updating for a good week now x)

Hasn't added any issues that I've seen so far, and others have found it has cured the problem of music apps closing after 15 minutes.

Fix problem "phone dont boot if facebook app insalled" and securiry update.

It's very disappointing they haven't given his phone a krack fix. Last security patch is October 2017. Embarrassing for a phone that came out in 2017. Neverbuying another zte phone.

I just got the b22 update, installing now. Security up to February 2018.

I have done the update. A few weeks after, I have an "optimising app X over X" every time the phone boots... That sucks
