All you early adopters of the Euro HTC Hero, the one with the chin, now have something to smile about. A representative of Irish mobile operator Meteor has tipped of the guys at EURODROID that they received a notice from HTC that they should expect and update to Android 2.1 sometime in March.

a) Very, very, very old news that Hero was getting a 2.1 update.
b) Old (and bad) news that we may have to wait until March!
Regards,
Dave
It is bad to wait till march.. but it is good news that we get a update
hope that the file transfer by bluetooth is possible then...
uhoh... not sure if i can wait that long. the only problem is that i have the super-duper kernel that needs the goldcard downgrade method and it seems too overwhelming for the moment. damn.
guess i'll get my 2.1 in two months time!
Well, it just gets pushed forward one month at the time. Wonder if it will ever arrive
when it arrives, it better be worth the wait!

Its actually not that difficult. Download the required apps and you can just breeze through the how-to in about 20 mins.
if you read the article well, it says we're gonna get 2.0, not 2.1

if you keep reading he updates it and adds that it will actually be 2.1
little question here
These guys are unbelievable, they said that the update will be available in february, now it'll be in march last days, in march the would say that its delayed to june, and so on.
so i have a question, with the hero kernel sources and the android sources, why there isnt a full working aosp ROM out there? without sense and all that stuff that makes the device laggy. There is any kind of difficulty at this point?
cheers
No one actually really said it was going to be Feb it was just a rumour. This source seems stronger however until HTC officially say something we will never know.
I am with the spoken provider and I wouldn't necessary believe in everything what they say. They are very bad with handling customer queries, this was given as an answer to few particular problems with Hero on Meteor network.
They were saying that it will be getting 2.0 but after some user said that there won't be any 2.0 update for Hero they came up with 2.1 in March. Go and figure it out yourself.
loooooooolll oh god...
february...
or 15 february .. or 3q 2010 or march
or 2.1 update or 2.0 update ...
rumours.. just rumours...
hero isnt getting no new update from htc... stick to 1.5 or root it and install the customs 2.1 ...
dont dream people
In July , hero will be 1 year-old device.
maybe , htc is just releasing rumors , and then they won´t update and release the hero sucessor ( i hope it´s fake , i love my hero )
sorry my bad english .
PS : This is what i think .

That's absurd! The leaked 2.0 build with SenseUI proves that they are working on it.
Regards,

They need updated HTC drivers to make everything work properly. until HTC release their 2.1 rom, or something is leaked, we can't have a fully working 2.1 rom.
I can say with 100% certainty that the 2.1 ROM will released when it's released, if it's released In other words, I'm not going to hold my breath.

We all very much doubt that. HTC aren't exactly the most punctual or timely in their updates.
Shame really, they make great phones but just set them aside and forget about them after two months.

Fate of HERO is the worst nightmare we can imagine.
HTC has just recently launch a software upgrade to 1.21.405.2.
I highly doubt there will be another update to Froyo 2.2 in 3 weeks time. (23rd June according to the rumour)
Once the source for Froyo is out, there will surely be a better port of Froyo for the HTC Desire.
sad
sad that htc is the only one who can port fm radio to desire, i dont think this community will be able to port fm radio to froyo, cause froyo dont support fm radio hardware.

I was thiking like you but since i have ADW Launcher I don't miss Sense.
Anyway. Had my HTC Touch 3g (magic) on April 2009 with 1.5 and we had our 1.6 update on ¿Septembre? So I think that we will have to wiull till September or MAybe October to enjoy our officil froyo update. The 23th of June thing may be a joke or something. I'm quite sure that we won't have 2.2 before Nexus and we don't even know when, froyo in nexus, are gonna be officiallly launched.
I'm sorry, my English sucks.
I think when Flash 10.1 finally comes out of beta, we can expect the first Froyo updates to surface.
It's a key part of the new OS, I don't think the beta version could be part of the final shipped rom..

Flash is not part of FroYo.
This is how Google are planning to defragment Android. All that FroYo contains is support for Flash 10.1, it does not matter if Flash is still in Beta as technically it's only just a plugin for the OS as it is for Windows/Mac/Linux.
I am waiting Froyo Official HTC update too...

no need to be negative. keep opinions like that to yourself.
Engadget just released HTC's forthcoming plans for Froyo updates, and Froyo will not be appearing on the desire, due to non compatible hardware relating to the wifi. HTC have said if you want FroyO, burn your phone and prey, then it will reappear, magicly with Froyo, and a ice cream

Hi, im a rookie on Android phones, just dumped my Xperia and now im playing w. desire.
From what i've read, the 2.6.32 kernel is close to perfect and i've seen and tried a couple of roms with that kernel, all seems to be working good, but since i like shiny things i gotta ask. HTC Sense and all that comes w/ that, do not work on froyo yet? or is there any other reason why cookers leave it out from their custom roms ? I tried to put the htc packages in the defrost 7d rom but could not flash it.. so errors where in the output (thou i'm certanly not the most gifted cooker )
Is there anyway I / we can have a Froyo rom + HTC goodies ?
Yes, there is. Wait until HTC will release its own Froyo build

Yes - when HTC release their Froyo update with Sense!
Sense is not just a launcher and makes some fairly deep changes in the Android frameworks. Without those changes, Sense won't work, and these do not exist in base Froyo.

Dave
thanks for the answers, ok so I'll have to wait till htc decides to update their phone, xmas 2010 i probably have a foryo with sense

The rumours say 23rd of june....
HTC announced that they would release Froyo with Sense UI for Desire by end of June. So let's keep our fingers crossed that they hold true to their word.
N.B. We will probably have to re-flash with custom ROM anyway after that to have proper A2SD.
From what I understand Froyo requires dev consent in order to move apps to SD. Am looking forward to see our XDA magicians do their magic to take this stupid requirement off.

Everyone can start complaining once the source is released, but until then, god quit blaming HTC. and yes I know HTC probably already has the source, and has probably already updated Senseui for it, but until Google finalizes it, HTC won't release an update.

This happens again and again and people believe this. Guys, first of all this is a stupid excuse from customer support.
Do you really think that Google lets HTC wait for release like the rest of us? They have been working on 2.2 from early stages too, they must if they want to release timely 2.2 devices.
Secondly, they would never ever release a froyo build before google.

Sorry Swissman,
but a new release of a OS is NOT a FIX as you defined it.
There have been fixes available on the air, and - afaik - no other os-manufacturer does release on-the-air fixes like Google does.
Moreover, you bought a mobile phone with a working os, and - always afaik - you cannot blame Google in being supposedly in delay for a new release of an OS.
What should you think then about Microsoft for Windows 7 or Apple for OS 4????? Not to talk about Meego or else.....
Please have a cup of tea and try and have a different opiniono about "unprofessionality"....

HTC Confirms 2.3 Desire Plans
Bit of a news flash here, sorry if it's in the wrong section but this is more of an anser to an un-asked question, y'get me?
Anyway, HTC confirmed yesterday that they WILL be updating the current Desire range upto 2.3. This includes the Desire, the Z and the HD. Hope this helps with the concerns that HTC were ditching the Desire for the Desire S.
For the rest of the information, check out this page.
The link goes to CNET
*It's likely that rather than being 2.3, the Desire will be getting 2.4, which is the latest release from Google. This is no different from 2.3 but contains some very minor bugfixes.
Nice! A bit long to wait though.
Thanks for the info!

no problem, I was randomly searching the Internet for any articles that could shed any light on the current Desire situation we are all going through, and I just happened to find that neat post that was only put on there today. Alas the Desire lives on, I guess with it being so popular HTC decided to make it, however I'm not expert but from a Market view of things, I seriously doubt Honeycomb will be coming to the Desire range, as none boast dual processors and with the update coming so late, it would be a large Market downside for HTC, why develop Honeycomb for a device that's waited 6 months for a 2.4 update... Anyway I'm just glad that within my first few days of being at XDA that I have been able to help people with the Desire information, I know I only sourced it, but this stops a lot of peoples worries, and it looks promising that we WILL be getting the new sense time for a beer I think xD
We re starting to feel just like the Xperia X10 users and their updates it all goes according to HTC's plan. Nevertheless its good to know we'll be getting the new sense and and Android.

I think that the reaosn why it's taking so long really lies with Google. If they hadn't of had the 2.3 exclusivity with the Nexus S, then the chances are we would have our update much quicker. However HTC should be concentrating on Software just as much as new Products. Existing customers are just as important as potentially new Customers, and at the moment it looks like they are focusing their business on creating new products, and not updating the current ones. Not a good business plan at all.
with the way that our providers play about with it , as stated in the article it will be xmas before its out
I won't look forward to the update because waiting for updates ALWAYS dissappointed me in the past...

That's one of the benefits of De-branding. My HTC Desire came branded with the Orange software (which left me with 100MB of free space) I de-braded, updated to Froyo 2.2 and had something like 143MB of free space left, and whenever HTC release an update I immidiatley recieve it. My HTC has Orange logo's on it and everything, but it's de-branded.

It's not the 2.4 update we can't wait for, its the new Sense, well in my case it is anyway. 2.3/4 isn't a very good update? It's a few icons and support for some other Hardware, Honeycomb should be interesting.

Hello everyone!
I just chatted with someone from HTC [HTC.com]
and i asked him if the 2.3 update for the desire comes with sense 2.1 of 3.0.
He told me it will come with sense 2.1!
If im done with the chat i will post the whole chat here!
chat log:
Customer Chat Chat Transcript
Please wait while we find an agent you are now connected helpen.U Dries.Dries: Hi Nick, thanks for contacting customer support from HTC. Currently I am here to read your question.
Nick: Good morning
Nick: Okay
Dries: What is meant exactly with your question?
Nick: I have a Desire
Nick: but I read some rumors about an update end of May
Nick: but I would like to clarify
Nick: And some say there is in sense or sense 3.0 2.1
Nick: So I thought I take a minute contact
Nick: Because I mean the HTC Wildfire S has the same memory as RAM and ROM which has Sense 2.1, so I thought why would not the normal Desire
Dries: I ask a moment. Please be patient if you please
Nick: Okay I wait
Dries: It comes with Sense 2.1
Nick: Wow I'm really happy!
Nick: And you also know when it comes around?
Dries: Unfortunately I can not say exactly when it will roll out this update, but was soon to begin.
Nick: Okay so before July?
Dries: I can assure you unfortunately.
Nick: Okay, because the earlier leaked test builds gingerbread still had a 1.9 older sense, but I am glad that my desire so with a recent version of sense comes
Dries: I understand that.
Nick: Well I know just enough until now
Nick: Thanks a lot for everything!
Dries: That is welcome. I can today somewhere else help?
Nick: Oh no it is enough
Nick: I wish you a nice day!
Dries: Thank you for contacting, I wish you a nice day.

EDIT: im going to ask again for confirmation hahaha just to be sure (A), PS: the chatting is so funny lol..
Sorry to say this, but he probably mixed the desire with the desire HD, a regular mixup from HTC customer service rep's.
All indicates that the Desire is getting a modified Sense 1.9 update, with bits from the 2.0 Sense that came with the Desire HD release.
(ref the leaked test rom)
I refuse to jump with joy before I can see this with my own eyes ;-)

Sorry to say this, but he probably mixed the desire with the desire HD, a regular mixup from HTC customer service rep's.
All indicates that the Desire is getting a modified Sense 1.9 update, with bits from the 2.0 Sense that came with the Desire HD release.
(ref the leaked test rom)

look at the chat... it would be stupid if he thinks a des HD cause the 2.3 update is already out.. so i dont think it will be a desHD
PS: im going to get confirmation to chat again but with someone else so stay tuned!! this time i will be clearer! and i wil post the chat log..
The thing is, the common appearance of the HTC customer service rep's are infact that they are..stupid. (read: missinformed or not informed)
They have a history of mixups and unfortunate statements about software updates and the big pool of HTC models out there. I'll trust my real estater before I trust HTC customer service again
But for your sake, I'll be positive. GO NUTS!
grate news thx

perhaps suggest calling it the HTC Desire (BRAVO) ORIGINAL - not the Desire HD - Ace...
and/or make them say which model they are referring to, rather than you saying it
I still don't believe it. Until I see it on my Desire it won't exist
We will see it this month!
waiting for it hopefully.
Well, I tried the htc live chat on my country, and no one is available
Then, I tried with htc uk live chat, and this what happened:
Hi , thank you for contacting HTC Support. How may I help you today?
Customer: hi
Customer: I have an HTC Desire original, codename BRAVO
Customer: I would like to know, which version of htc sense will be implemented in the gingerbread 2.3 update
James: We are excited to announce that the HTC Desire will receive the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) update in Q2 2011. Stay tuned for details as we get closer to the update availability.
James: The HTC Sense Version will not be changed.
Customer: thanks, there is a release date?
James: Not as yet. We do not know.
James: Please stay tuned to our website.
James: All information will be on the support page.

that is a lie, because in the leaked RUU's the htc sense version HAS changed.

Well not, the version is the same, is the old sense..they just add some things of the new sense
But in my opinion, all is possible, as the customer service don't seems to have much details on the update for our desire

Well, we will just see it, i mean, thee wildfire S has got the same amount of ROM and LESS RAM then our desire and it got sense 2.1, so why wont they put it on desire?
Just wait till they roll out and hope the best.

they don't know nothing, so they do know something!
I dont really see the point of this as right now the "Sense" scene is all about Sense 3.0 which already has a working beta ROM in existence. Most Sense users are all using either InsertCoin, RCMixS or like me Reflex S which has Sense 2.1 + 3.0 features and most are stable.
When the Sense 3.0 ports are our of beta i bet that even if HTC do officially release this update, no one is really going to care.
The devs here have been rolling out updates faster than you can get used to the new version they just released yesterday.
I chatted today also with HTC and he said that de Update comes in Q2 - THIS MONTH! I asked him "Is this true? or will it be an desaster like the Hero update?" The Said: "No, it comes this month!"
The question of Sense 2.1 he answert with: "Desire will get Sense 2.1 but it can be with an later update! But the chance is big that it comes together"
He said this in german and i translated what he said quick and dirty

The point is that there is probably a big HTC customer base that don't wanna root or flash custom roms. Actually I believe it's bigger than the custom scene. And this is their only hope for an update.
The XDA forum has become a place for any kind of Android fan for info and such, not for just developers and cooks.

+1
But who comes to XDA with a stock Desire and just looks at all the custom goodness and decides not to partake.
That's like going to a bar, buying liquor and just looking at it.
Purpose Defeated.
