Well HTC reps which no nothing still will tell you 2nd half of this year.
I'd assume they'd want to get it out before the Droid 2 is dropped as its going to have it on it and is released next month evidently.
One would think Sprint would be putting a foot in the arse of HTC to get it out. I've unfortunately herd horror stories of HTC's slow rollouts so who knows.

Man, why does it seem like more than half of the threads in "Evo General" get moved to another forum? Why not just delete the "General" forum? Most everything else fits into one of the other four categories. It would save a lot of mod effort, I would think.
Sorry, off-topic, but I'm smart enough to avoid the irony of starting a new thread.

If it was a definitive announcement, I wouldn't have thrown in the question mark.
Links suggest if 2.2 is going to HTC's incredible & Droid2 in the next few weeks, the EVO should not be far behind unless they no longer care to remain competitive.

Well heres the last email I got from HTC regarding this when I replied back to the first one saying thats BS they have no need to get stuff from google now the code is released to everyone. And also said with the Incredible getting FroYo in a week or two I asked for a better ETA regarding the Evo as opposed to the "2nd half of the year" I was originally told. I also commented on how Sprint stated that the Evo would be getting the Froyo soon.
"First, I want to apologize on Sprint's behalf because they should not have told you things that are inaccurate. They have no reason to say "soon" as to the availability of the update. Our engineers are indeed working on it, but it has to be made specifically for each phone and tested before it can be released. Setting up Sense is a large part of it as well. There is not a better time line I can give you than the second half of the year, as that is all the information we have right now. We do not have a better estimate than that."

If the POS Incredible gets it before the Evo, I'm gonna be pissed. However, if they fix their shoddy HDMI implementation and lift the frame rate cap, I don't mind waiting... but fat chance on that ACTUALLY happening.

Some announcement would be nice..
Seems like everyone else has a set date and ours is oh sometime this year..

If this plays out anything like 2.1 did with the hero we'll see some leaked releases a couple( or many) of weeks before the official release hits

You would think that Sprint would be lighting a fire under HTC's ass to get this out the door quicker. I mean this phone really has put sprint back in the game.

9/22/10 Where's the OTA?

Check it out! You WILL LOSE ROOT!
I just wanted to make this thread for the rumored OTA, once it's out someone post here. Can't wait for that FPS boost, it'ss be even better than 53 fps!
(BTW if you don't know which OTA I'm referring to, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699290 I made this thread because this is only reguarding this OTA, and is a small thread, meanwhile that one is 141 pages, so... yea)

Anyone know if this OTA will include the stagefright fixes (which made Pandora on 3G work again) from 3.28 ? I'd assume it will but just wanna make sure before installing it.

Host, Then Post.

Previous OTA's have been released about 12pm eastern that I have noticed, so if there's one coming, it should be in the next couple of hours

Shouldn't this be moved to q&a section
sent from my DAMN EVO!

The update on Sprints site says nothing about an FPS break...

maybe sprint doesnt consider fixing the 30fps cap a new feature, but rather a bug fix so they didnt include it? Hell I really dont know. I would like 60fps, ALL THE TIME. without "hacks" to get it to work. ooo and full HDMI please. LOL

Well, the changelog for 3.26.651.6 makes no mention of Froyo, probably the biggest change. So there's still hope.

perhaps htc is finally using the leaks as a way of testing, because they dont have enough in house testers with all the new devices they keep releasing?
they have even started farming out business to OEM partners so they can put out an android tablet and still maintain the mobile phone schedule.

I started receiving a notification on the 21st that an update was avail for the voicemail app - no other Sprint flavored updates yet. Raleigh, NC area location.

Well I'm off to school. Hopefully by the time I get back its ready to be installed.

Yeah, it'll come for sure. But it'll be available in custom ROMs way before HTC get around to releasing it.

What can I say, I've got too much time on my hands

Its a good thing though dude, its nice to know there are people dedicated to the cause
2.3 will come firstly as a port from the nexus, and then within 1-2 months we will see an updated G2 and sense rom, then at the end of 2020 we will see it drop on the SGS, lol lol ;P
And as soon as the gingerbread source code is released, Cy will get to work on CM7

Are you posing for a picture and are a bit nervous?

nooo im effing excited dude! lol

This is just a rumor, but Phandroid has a rumor that says 2.3 could be unvieled as early as today (12/6). I don't think it'll happen, but I have my fingers crossed.
I know Moto Droids running vanilla Android and the Nexus 1 always get updates first because they're running vanilla Android. We're running Vanilla Android, so maybe we'll get to be apart of the "hahahaha, we got it before you did, sucker Sense/Motoblur/Touchwiz users!" group?

That statement is absurd. The N1 has only had ONE UPDATE!!! At least only one MAJOR update... it shipped with 2.1, it is currently 2.2 (2.2.1 is minor, hardly counts.)

That's only half of the statement, friend. The point I was trying to make was that the phones with vanilla android get the updates sooner than all the other UIs. Since we run vanilla android like the nexus 1 and the moto droids do, we should be getting 2.3 the same time they do which, historically, has been far sooner than everyone else.

G2 is not pure Google/Stock/Vanilla/Virgin whatever you want to call it.
While yes, the G2 is the closest thing to Vanilla FroYo available (aside from the Nexus Series of course, which is 100% stock), it isn't entirely pure. There is another thread pertaining to this, anyways the guesstimate is that we will get it a month or two after the Nexus S is released, which is December 16th in the United States.
BTW, I love my G2, I think it's the sickest phone available right now, but at the same time, it isn't fully stock. Read Cyanogen's blog about it.
It's going to take some time to get it just right for the G2. In any event, I can't wait!
I'm guessing Feb. 2011, although after having played with the SDK's Emulator a bit, there aren't any DRASTIC changes in Gingerbread, which means less dev. work, so who knows, maybe even sooner! Definitely after X-mas.

Oh I know we're not running 100% Vanilla, but we are running it without a 3rd party UI put over top so I'm sure we'll get it much sooner than Sense, Motoblur and Touchwiz phones do.
I think it'll be sooner than February (my money is on a January release, as the Nexus S is being released with 2.3, so 2.3's release will be the day the S comes out). It shouldn't take that long to toss together 2.3-compatible versions of the apps that makes ours different from a 100% pure device. Of course, it's all up to Tmo in the end.
I'm waiting until 2.3 update before I root. I was waiting for CM 6 stable but with 2.3 just around the corner, it's worth waiting for. I'd like to see what it's like before I go rooting around in my phone. Pun squarely intended.

What is the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1? And why doesn't the G2 have 2.2.1?

I can't wait for 2.3 via CM7! The CM 6.1 stable is bad ass. I'm just ready for voip/sip that's built in. I changed my service plan when I heard that lol

[Q] Gingerbread question

Just curious: As an EVO user, I've had Gingerbread on my phone for about two months now, but there isn't a 2.3 Epic ROM to be found. Is there really no work being done for 2.3 for the Epic yet? Forgive me if there's something I don't understand, I'm obviously not a dev and don't fully understand what goes into building something like that.
Thanks!

Search next time there are at least a dozen pointless threads asking this exact same question and getting the same answer. NO, the source code literally dropped less than a week ago and no other phone is even vaguely similar to ours with source to build drivers from.

Where is the TROLL SPRAY?

Oh I'm sorry, you guys are so right. I'm such a douche bag. Obviously if I use the search function and look for Gingerbread and 2.3 I get TONS of results that... oh, wait... I get nothing. Interesting as that's THE SAME THING I GOT LAST NIGHT WHEN I SEARCHED!
Still, I do appreciate your answer 063... glad the source finally dropped. Yet another reason why I would never personally buy a Samsung device, but for my wife it's fine.

Not to sound troll-y, but source for our froyo update dropped a couple days before the update itself. HTC doesn't do that very often.
Short answer: We're working on it. Expect to see some early testing builds here in the next week or two.

The source for 2.2.1 was released for epic, not 2.3/2.4

Oh, interesting. I assumed he meant that the source for 2.1 only now FINALLY dropped... but it was 2.2, huh? Interesting. Well, I would commend them if their update weren't bricking phones. Maybe they SHOULD wait until they are 100% certain that the release is solid before dropping the source on the world.

[Q] When are we gonna start seeing...

custom kernels with SBC for the gingerbread build? Just asking cause I really miss my SBC and Full HDMI out.
EDIT: nevermind I found out that we havent gotten any code released yet!

Yeah, ask HTC when they're going to support the Android open Source Policy and start releasing source codes....

EVO 4G kernel source for GB has not been released yet...

*edit* woops, I'm slow...

isnt their 30 days up soon?
I wonder who enforces that policy anyway

I know, I'm lazy for not looking, but didn't the OTA come out on 6/4?? That would mean 30 days has been up

the 4.24 was more of a bug fix...not a huge overhaul like the GB OTA (4.22) was (locked bootloader, updated OS, new kernel, etc.)
if HTC is counting 30 days from 6/20 I'll be pissed!!!
