Having come from an HD2 running winmo I really do miss the wifi tethering. Also, as I'm new to android, which I think is miles better than winmo by the way, what are the constraints for upgrading the Android OS. eg. I have a Desire running 2.1, will I just be able to download and upgrade to 2.2 and 2.3 and so on?
Cheers
No as HTC need to get Sense working on 2.2...shouldn't take them long though

Not out of the box, but someone will probably port it from the nexus one, which i'd think would be the first phone to receive 2.2
how many pc can i connect to android 2.2 tethering at the same time ?

don't u think that's a little bit "VERY LATE" news?
It is kinda late and the new Android version will come on the Nexus One first. The HTC Desire needs to wait till next year when it will come tougher with sense 2.0.

I was under impression gingerbread was gettibg rid of sense and other such nasties. So desire owners will have to wait for gingerbread. Surely developers can port nexus obe rom to desire once its released?

The desire had Froyo way before HTC released it 'officially' with Sense UI. We should get Gingerbread as soon as the source is released.
sense roms update is allways delayed by google/htc, thats why nexus one will get update immidiately and desire will get it later.
any way hope we will get gingerbird as soon as it is released.
i give it a week before one of you gifted nerd bastards bless us with gingerbread
i shall donate immediately.

Now I like the sound of this already!
well. no one know how gingerbread will look. froyo changed how android look and so will gingerbread.
Hearing the Gingerbread name makes me feel tasty. and it sounded very delicious rom to cook by the devs.
I hope we can have Gingerbread before Christmas...lol!

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Not for CDMA. Lord knows when 2.2 is actually going to be released to us. Supposedly it was supposed to be by the end of this month, but you can obviously tell that it won't come that soon.
damn it man i wish the would hurry the hell up dont get me wrong 2.1 is nice but 2.2 kicks ass i use skyfire and it will play some flash but come on htc roll it out

We already have them. Running it now.

Indeed, the Oxygen version of GingerBread for Desire works great!
The thread for the Oxygen Gingerbread is HUGE! Too long to read the whole thing. Are there any known issues with it--does everything (wifi, video recording) work now?
Dont hold your breath for a sence gingerbread rom soon tho, until htc release a gingerbread rom, we have no source code

Hardly, tried it and there really is no noticeable difference, well not that you would notice for day to day use.
Have to argue, have you tried aosp based Roms like oxygen? brilliant compared to sense, and if you don't like the look? Theme it, use launcher pro and do whatever else you wanna do
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Edit: each man to his own of course, but I love the speed over the slight extra functionality of sense
But is there going to be a real version of Gingerbread for the HTC Desire?
I'm assuming they'll stop eventually.

Almost everything works, just a few minor bugs, the most oustanding (imho) being network location based applications and gps navigators not working.

no way of porting 2.2's Sense to 2.3 then?
although as we know everyone wants the new sense 2.0 anyway
Yeah the advances off the HD rom but with the new keyboard and they make the Desire a payphone......

The Desire HD is more than capable of running it. It runs like a dream! After using Sense based ROMs for the past few months (Switching to the DHD), it's great to be back using stock Android.
As for the official HTC update, I'd say give it 6months at least. HTC have never been great with updates although they aren't anywhere as bad as Samsung!!
My advice, flash CM7 as soon as you can.
Regards.

No SRS or dolby effect for the time being.. But CM7 have their own dsp manager, which works quite well.. Unless HTC release the source code for dolby and srs effect, or even someone who can crack it..

I'm hearing of some unbranded UK Desires receiving an OTA update to Gingerbread, has anyone else seen this? Nothing on mine yet, and since it's unbranded I imagine it's not a staggered rollout.
Anyone know what's going on, or are my sources false?
I've not heard anything to maybe a fail. I guess if you find HTC's RUU then it will be rolling out soon. About now is when it's rolling out so maybe so.
Well after some checking I can confirm that a desire, possibly on TMob got a system update a couple days ago, but can't confirm whether it was 2.3 or just a pre update of some sort, also not sure if the desire is branded or not.
unfortunately the phone is a work phone that my friend doesn't have currently so can't get any more details at this moment.
Nothing here. Unbranded handset :-(

HTC Official Update
I received the following email today from HTC Customer Care in response to a question as to when they will fix the widely reported Google leak (potential security flaw in Android).
In regards to your last response, in order to to get the security update when it is being issued, you have to have a base of the 2.3 Gingerbread update on your handset, in which case will be released this summer for devices such as HTC Desire.
Currently we do not have a specific date as to when the 2.3 will be released for other handsets as at this time the update is only being issued to HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S.
summer? geeez... I thought it was going to be anytime soon this month... Bit fed up of waiting...

Check my sig. I can't say I noticed something actually does not work, which I can say for some other roms people swore are rock stable, but it drains battery and there is obvious lag especially with alternative launchers and animations. That said, I can cope with some lag, but I can't cope with memory leaks, bootloops, ads etc.
So you can't just yet say it is as it is meant to be, but it comes to that this actually works. Not extra smooth, but it does.
