Official Sprint Froyo Release

I know im a newbie so please dont flame me lol.. Does anyone here have an updated status on the official sprint froyo release as of today? Ive heard before iphone 4 release, ive heard june 26th, ive heard late 2010?? Just want to know an update..
I know this is never ending lol.. when froyo is released people will probably be asking when "Pancake" is gonna be released lol..

I doubt anyone here would be able to tell for sure when sprint will release a froyo rom. There are already froyo roms in the dev section. It's more likely we get a finished froyo rom from the xda community before sprint even announces theirs.

just flashed EVOlution V8. it's sexy

The next release will start with a "G." I believe it's gingerbread. They go in alphabetical order.
Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, etc.
That said - I do wonder when Pancake will be released. 2015?

Actually Froyo will be releaded for the Evo on July. The thread was lost some time ago. But apparently its legit.

Nice.. i hope it is in july.., Gingerbread.. lol thats awesome

The names are for deserts, so I doubt there will be a pancake release. I'm guessing pineapple upside down cake.
I haven't heard anything about froyo for the evo yet, unfortunately.

Look up this Forum for Froyo. The thread is a couple of pages back and its FULL of sources that confirm this.

Actually, no one REALLY knows for sure when we'll get it. July is just the best guess.

No camera available. Its impossible at this point.

I hope we get Froyo soon, camera's are needed for me, what else am I gonna use to record my 720p porn.

Anyone else getting irritated by HTC?

And there fake release date news for 2.2?

Me, me, me.... damn it HTC

more irritated with google for not having App2SD functionality in the FIRST android release.
if it wasn't for the bogus 512mb "ROM limit" on installing apps, i wouldnt be awaiting froyo with such baited breath.

Yep been waiting all weekend! We should put a post when someone actually gets the 1st update from htc so we know!

The weekend is not yet finished. So, I see no reasons to get upset.
And anyway, they might have really started to roll-out, as HTC Germany says.

Yeah but during weekend is not when its 1 minute over midnight to monday.. it should already been out so people can update whenever they feel like during the weekend.. stop the teasing and just get it out when its so close.

Nope, not at all. You'll get it when you get it. Chill.

This. IIRC it was only Germany and NL that "officially" announced it was coming, so nobody else has the right to ***** anyway if it doesnt.

If I wanted to be treated like this I would have bought a iPhone.

Of course I'm not irritated, I have a life!

What limited would that be, and because as far as i'm aware the limit is hardware - the Dell Streak running 1.6 has 2gb available for apps storage.

I really think some people need to step away from the internet and go out and have some fun. If it's here when you get back then you can install; if it's not then not.
Surely an update to your mobile phone can not be the most important thing in your lives...

Not in the least bothered really when it comes, today, tomorrow, next week.
I already have Froyo and its running sweet.

How many stupid Desire users does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?
The be honest I am more irritated by dumb-fu-ks who have more time than brain cells and have to whinge about everything including the firmware release of a completely functional mobile phone. Even worse is the fact that two mouse clicks away is another section of the forum where they could easily download and run about a dozen versions of Android 2.2 hacked/packed/delivered with all the bells and whistles.
So people put the fu-king phone down, chill out, go outside and take a breath of fresh air. You will live longer ....
THE UPDATE WILL COME WHEN IT COMES..... Jumping up and down about it, checking the OTA update on the phone every 2 microseconds and making another 1.4 billion new threads won't make it appear any faster...
Next instalment in the new pointless thread forum - "I fu-ked up my phone when updating the OTA ! Help !!!", "Why won't the HTC OTA work on my Orange/Virgin/crap branded Desire" and my favourite "What's an OTA", oh and another "Anyone got Froyo Update?" (speak of the devil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741397 )

you do have a point here. but: why do you get so angry?
you accuse them of having nothing else to do than wait for the froyo release. yet, you fail to convey this in an appropriate manner: In order to make them realize that they are poor souls (whose sole purpose in life is a phone software update), you better tell them in a way they don't perceive as *****ing and hating.
however, the way you get all angry about them raises the suspicion that you yourself have little else to do in your free time. complaining about them doesn't help anyone!

Gingerbread update for Htc Desire

Is there anyone who knows if there is a date for the release this week?

Awesome, and i was just thinking we need another thread on the TGB updae and when its arriving lol

Ok, things are going a bit slow here... :-/ Is there really no one who knows a date?

Yes, really no one knows the date.

Well, someone at HTC possibly, although maybe not - going by the number of threads where people have been told Yes/No/Maybe by different folks from said company...
It'll be here when it arrives, and not a moment sooner.

It would be prudent if the next topic about would be themed something like 'yay, I got an ota update'.

I think that maybe there will not be any date announced before the update. That we will just get it.
What do you guys think about that?

*cough* thorough *cough* research has shown that updates always arrive when you're offline, so I guess it doesn't help much to keep pressing the F5 or update button
I think they're using the same algorithm as the mail man, for delivering that one important package when you're not at home.

Don't see what you mean really... Do you mean that everyone won't get the update at the same time??? :S

Depends on your carrier's arrangements with HTC. It will be staggered so that the servers are not overloaded.
I'd assume that Europe will get the update first.

From what I gathered when I emailed htc awhile back they said they had some sort of slot system - not sure how much of that is true though...
Sounded like they had x amount of 'slots' per day and it sounded like first come first served style.
When they were full/used up you just waited till the next day.
for unbranded... carriers probably have their own way of doing things to the branded sets?

HTC themselves said last week that the new 2.3.3 update should be released for unbranded desire's sometime at the end of next week so it should be today or maybe over the weekend.

No, people will get the update at different times, your mobile operator has to put its logos and other junk in to the update before it gets rolled out.

The amount of misinformation these days is staggering.
Actually there is a simple explanation why is that. It derives from the phenomenon called 'selective reading'. When they see a new thread, they only actually read two words, 'update' and 'Gingerbread'. The rest of the post they simply forge together by abstract thinking.

"HTC Desire getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread next week, some HTC Sense features face the chop"

Ics/samsung/iPhone4s

I think that samsung should pull out all the stops on ICS and let it loose to as many new devices that can support it as possible. Apple will give there phone the latest updates as long as the hard ware can handle it. Sammy in particular should give ICS quickly to compete with iPhones new iOs. Also to make up for the forever long wait we had to get this device. Ya they take forever but they must know its a problem and one would think there guys in samsung's "think tank" would let the company know where its lacking. Samsung's goal after all is to sell tons of phones and keep the customer happy as a fat kid at a ice cream truck ( yes there is a little pun in the ice cream comment )

xD ... Sad to say it... But the words samsung and update shouldn't be used together... Were already overdue on that LOS patch, original epic users are still on froyo as will...

no it does not

we are all hoping that Samsung tries to stick it to apple and dominate the US market similar to Nokia in the international market. I am as I think we all are that Samsung realizes that establishing support for top tier devices at minimum for 12th Months is what it is going to take. Now I say that we HOPE that they realize that, not saying they will. If that is the case, hopefully the community is strong enough to carry them otherwise for me its one and done on samsung.

isn't samsung now one of the google partners for timely updates? a bunch of manufacturers I think signed a deal with them saying they would release updates within 18 months of google releasing it(HTC, LG and others were also included). But once they release it, then the carriers usually take their sweet ass time pushing it out to us. from what I hear they gave sprint the los fix a while ago. It's sprint that's holding it up now

I believe they are on paper but I also believe that status has no bite to enforce it

Well at least Sammy isn't putting out updates like HTC. Every time I read about an update from HTC recently is says they are pulling it because of issues. Would rather an update be truly tested then just thrown at us with more problems then we started with.
Didn't the HTC Thunderbolt just get Gingerbread a year after it was released? The grass is not always greener on the other side.....

One thing that I don't see mentioned often is the fact the mobile phones are only a small part of Samsungs overall business; tv's, bd players, appliances, industrial equipment and more, are some of the things this gigantic company is involved with...Not defending their slow updating schedules and such, but, keep in mind that a company this big doesn't always focus the amount of attention on every division that they probably should.
I knew this coming into this phone, so, I am not really surprised in how long it has taken them to get updates out in the past, and, I doubt it will get much better moving forward, so don't expect them to be "first to market" when it comes to the latest and greatest software for this phone..

How about a los update?

EL29 update coming soon?

Here I thought EL26 was the final update for a while. Looks like we have another one coming down the pipe. I would imagine we would see a leak soon.

Nothing got much better than EL13 other than minor bugs (wallpaper related). I'd say with CIQ already removed, just jump to ICS already. We've got nearly perfect GB as it is now.

FWIW,
Its not a 4G fee anymore. It's a smartphone fee. They can't charge iPhone users a 4G fee while their phones aren't capable of 4G, so Sprint changed it to a "Smartphone Fee" from a "4G Fee".
It's still dumb, I don't like it, but it is what it is. And I'm still better off on my family plan than AT&T

Probably. It's a good idea and I'm totally ok with it.

Samsung is leaking the roms through their "official" unofficial leak channel Sammobile. I assume this is because Sprint told them to remove CIQ asap and they are using the leaks to get a larger test base. It appears they are using this opportunity to patent proof the phones as well. I highly doubt Samsung has both a GB and ics team for the epic touch, so the fact that there are still gb roms being leaked is a bad sign.
It is possible they are incrementally updating different components of twiz to be ics compatible but still leaking them on top of GB for testing purposes.
