In the ongoing discussion about when Vodafone will release FroYo for their branded Desires, someone has just authoritatively posted this;
****The "Official" release of v2.20 (FroYo) software for the HTC Desire, Vodafone branded, will be 28th October 2010****

Well the title says it all..
I just got off the phone with the vodafone customerservice NL to ask them how it is possible that HTC provided a ROMupdate which improved the phones performance while the vodafone branded one is still running the old software.
I wanted 2know if there would be an ROMupdate from Vodafone NLD in the near future.
The employee told me that he had the same question from zomeone else last week and he found out then that the ROMupdate is in development and Vodafone will bring it out within a month from now.
Sounds like good news for all the Dutch Vodafone branded Diamondowners who don't want to mess up their warranty doesn't it..?????
Or do you think their just saying this to get me off their back..

Hi,
I just ordered a HTC Desire with T-Mobile (directly with them)
Just wondering if anyone else has done this... I would like to know if there is any T-Mobile logo branding on either the front or back of the fones case???
Appreciate your help
I am in possession of one of the very first batch that T-mobile shipped on Friday March 26th. It has no external branding. I don't know about later ones.
use search function mate, there is 10+ users with desires from t-mobile on this forum and everything has been said already
anyway apart from the intro theres no tmobile branding
Ok thanks for the info meson1 & cez10
Im getting mines directly from o2-UK and im wondering if it will be branded physically on the phone or will it just be things like the splash screen?
If you get a branded version then it will only be firmware. You don't get a network logo on any of the UK One X's.
If it is branded then you'll have to wait for O2 to approve firmware before it'll be pushed out to you as an update.
Ah ok cool.. Ordered my phone on Wednesday and the wait is killing me
I want to play with it!!!!
Does anyone know when Orange users can expect this?
Thanks.

The software updates don't depend on the carrier you use,it depends on the country you are.For exampe 1.28.401 is for Europe,1.28.701 is for...i realy don't know.In what country do you are?
I live in the UK and my phone says no updates are available. But I understand that 02 users have had updates...

No. The updates do depend on what carrier if it is a branded handset. HTC make the new firmware and then give it to the various carriers to customise and approve. This means it will lag behind the releases for the generic regions.

No idea. I've tried asking Orange and the person I spoke to had no clue either.
Thanks mate. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...

Not on the branded phones. Nobody at O2 seems to have a clue when it'll be pushed either
Yeah,sorry,forgot about branded ones.
Vodafone UK users got the update last week...
I'm on Orange in the UK and got the 1.28 update the day it was released. My phones software version is 1.28.401.9.
The phone was bought through DialAPhone and has no Orange branding or customisation (thankfully) so I'm not sure if its an unlocked handset on Oranges network, or locked to Orange, but I definately got the update via the Orange network.

You've got an unbranded handset and it is most probably unlocked. If you got the One X direct from Orange then it would have been branded.
The updates actually downloaded from HTC servers and not Orange so it doesn't matter what network you're actually connected to. HTC still need Orange to approve the new firmware though before it will be released.

I got my HOX from Orange but it isn't branded.
So after some uneventful conversations on the HTC live chat, I'm wondering if any of you have an unlocked HTC 10 from Australia and have the nougat update?

It started rolling out about a week and a half ago. Are you rooted? If so you won't get an OTA update. You'll need to update manually
I'm not. To my knowledge I have a stock ROM as I got this handset from JB.

Would this be an Optus OTA? To my knowledge, Telstra and Vodafone haven't released any comms about Nougat update for the HTC 10 while Optus was testing both the M9 and 10 earlier this month. M9 was definitely listed as released but 10 was still marked as being tested earlier this week.

As I understand it, JB HiFi was selling phones with either Optus or Vodafone firmware. Mine's from JB too and is on 1.95.710.3 which I understand to be the Vodafone version.
Optus update status states 'Testing Android 7.0 update and VoLTE – completion expected late February':
https://yescrowd.optus.com.au/t5/Blog/Android-Software-Updates-16-02-2017/ba-p/198463
UPDATE: Actually, Vodafone has HTC 10 listed as well as "Testing complete, awaiting feedback from HTC", hopefully that doesn't mean a long wait.

JB sold an unlocked handset which I am with on the Optus network. I am on 1.95.710.3 as well. I was under the impression that HTC sends the software to unlocked devices first specifically, and then to carriers who then distribute it for the optus devices. Would I be correct in assuming that?

That's usually the case though I'm not entirely sure about the nature of our firmware (mine's the same as yours) - is it a true unbranded retail or an unlocked carrier version? I know the Moto Razr I had in the past was an unlocked Vodafone handset.

Im not sure. I would be more inclined to go unbranded retail but again, Im not certain.
Bump.
My HTC 10 is right now in the process of downloading 2.42.710.2 (1.19Gb) OTA. It's this one:

Got it as well!
Installed here too.. however no live wallpapers. I personally hate all the default graphics on the HTC10 so in MM had a Sony live wallpaper which I liked.
Anyone else here have issues with live wallpapers?
