Hi all,
Its nearly my favourite time of year - my phone contract is up for renewal!!
I have had nothing but HTC phones for many many years, and don't have much intention of changing this.
I have been looking at the Orange website, and they only list 3 - The Tattoo, Hero and Desire.
The Desire looks pretty cool - AMOLED, Snapdragon, etc...
Two questions:
- Anyone know any other decent phones that Orange UK are getting soon? (Contract up at the end of July)
- Will the Desire get a Froyo update (from HTC, not XDA!)
Yes the HTC desire is Scheduled to recieve the Froyo Update - the Nexus One (Same phone) has already recieved it OTA (Over the Air) I would check out www.gsmarena.com for a good review of all Mobile Phones - it has an unbiased look and features some really detailed reviews.
Thanks for your reply mate.
I am ok with finding reviews of phones... you don't happen to know of anywhere I can find out what phones Orange are getting soon do you?
Cheers
Considering that Conor Maples or whatever he is called, announced that Froyo will be released on Orange branded desires this month, all has gone quiet on the subject.
Do you think this will actually happen???
Orange called me up... as I have written loads of emails complaining at them re there delays. They said that android has taken them by surprise and they are rushing to update there phones, they hope to have it released by next.week... or this week as it's Sunday mmm ill wait

I spoke with Orange's Executive Office a few weeks ago about a completely different issue, they made it clear to me that they really don't like people moaning about firmware updates that are not even guaranteed (i.e they don't have to provide)
Orange have always been very slow with their updates, we are just going to have to live with it.
Sorry if I'm late but I was looking for a release date for the HTC Desire HD for the US. And I came across articles that looked a little like :
The HTC Desire HD was announced on Wednesday, and we were already hearing rumors of the US as a market, but now Engadget posted some pictures taken during their time at HTC's London event on Wednesday which, when coupled with the FCC database, reveal that the HTC Desire HD, in its current state, is not certified for North American 3G network access.

Any idea on when this issue will be resolved?

Damit, I was really looking forward to the Desire HD.
Ok people,
Just been on to HTC and they have confirmed that the 1.29.401.7 is out in the wild for UK users.
I have not had mine yet but they said this... (has anyone had there update yet?)
Robert: Hi Richard, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Robert: I understand you wish to know when the latest Android 1.29 OTA update will be coming to your device.
In answer to your query the HTC One X Android 1.29 software update via FOTA EU is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle 30,000 updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update soon. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.
To manually search for updates please go through the following steps as described in the link below:
http://www.htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=141676&type=1&p_id=440
For the latest news releases Please go to Our official HTC website, http://www.htc.com/uk/
Or web Fan pages e.g. Facebook & Twitter.
HTC thank you for your continued patience and co-operation at this time.
Richard Dixon: But thats great and all yet no one in the UK has received this update that I know of... (unless they got there phone from france or germany)
Robert: I can confirm it has been released.
Richard Dixon: Ive seen people asking on your official facebook and twitter. So its out in the UK?
Robert: Yes it is out in the UK.
PLEASE NOTE AFTER A FEW COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD IT SEEMS THE UPDATE IS NOT OUT IN THE UK AS OF YET AND HTC MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE. WILL POST MORE INFORMATION WHEN I GET IT.
Nothing on Vodafone here in London

Hi mate is your phone locked to Vodafone? This update is just for unbranded sim free phones at the moment, your network provider will release this update sometime later.
Already on it, RUU
But good to see it now slowly rolling out.

Looking forward to the improved battery life . Ive been told it also makes HTC Sense a bit smoother, is that true? Ive noticed that some of the Live wallpapers stutter a bit.
Nothing for me yet either on an unbranded T-Mob HOX.
Damn it, I just sent my One X for Exchange as it had a fault, oh well, I guess I'll have the update ready for me when I get another one back on Thursday, gives my fingers a break from mashing the 'check now' button.
Nothing yet, Im on vodafone but unbranded HOX.
nothing on my unbranded one as well, and htc said the same thing to me a week ago and nothing yet
They've been giving the same canned response for a week. They seem to think it's out here but it ain't. I have been speaking to HTC at a high level about it as I believe some mistake has resulted in the UK not getting it. I will report back whatever I hear.
Nothing here yet

The guy speaking to me said he had received his update yesterday and its a UK handset so im unsure mate.
I'm already on it - RUU
But, I've noticed:
Slight improvement in home screen lag, it's still there...
Much lower AnTuTu score
& according to HTC's own built in battery test, battery is worse than 1.28
I went from 90% left after the test on 1.28, down to 88% on 1.29
So, battery not as good maybe? & benching is much lower...
Hmm.....

Just got this back from HTC manager...
Stay tuned....ill need to investigate and send a few mails. But it seems a bit strange. I received my update this weekend. But that was on a Nordic device. Keep checking manually. I'll keep you informed. Cheers
So at least someone's checking.

Not cool. I thought it was a little odd Europe got it and the UK did not.

Definately but what if we wont be able to get the next one too?? (Talking about UK handsets)
I read on a couple dutch websites htc is trying to go on a trade in promotion because the ICS update wont be available to us..
What are the odds this goes right ?..
Would be pretty awesome..
