Hej!
Have updated my Desire's firmware to 1.21.405.2 as soon as I saw it was available as OTA, after verifying it in the HTC's official website as well. I had not my analog homescreen clock, nor the calendar widget on my desktop (both HTC original widgets and my device is not rooted) after the upgrade. Tried to bring them as usual, but they are no longer available in the widgets stock (?) Even no possibility to download via "more HTC widgets" (!)
:-( Please help.. I want to get these widgets back soonest possible! )
Now tey are back. After shut down and start again they were available in the widgets as they were as before, just had to place them again. But redtart took 15 mins, this is another known issue being investigated under separate thread.
As to what has changed with this upgrade; have no any clue about that, seen no change for now.

Sorry to hijack but it seems your issue is resolved?
Is there any reason not to accept this OTA update to 1.21?
I'm running an Orange branded handset with a flashed generic 1.15 ROM
Do I need to worry about upgrading the bootloader etc?
The new firmware upgrade updates bootloader too (as read in another thread) personally have no any clue what advantages or disadvantages it brings. My suggestion is just search and try to find more info reg that in the forum. As to changes after this upgrade, can say only some bug fixes; which are mainly htc widgets and fm radio, also youtube app, rest are not visible to user. My Desire branded to 3 Sweden and not rooted/flashed nor debranded and now, after this upgrade, no issues with my phone, except shutdown time (there is a separate thread on it, raised by another member)

Just for clarification, shutdown issue is not something came with this upgrade, that was already an issue before; presumably any of the apps installed cause the matter.

HTC Desire software updated statement Sam Mostyn - UK Comms 10/08/2010
Weve listened to feedback from customers on a number of points around the recent 360 Android 2.1 update and made some changes to the roll out plan.
The Android 2.2 update for Vodafone HTC Desire users will be based on the HTC open market version of the software and we will customise it to ensure our network settings are installed.For customers who have downloaded the recent 360 update for Android 2.1, we can confirm that the Android 2.2 update will remove the 360 applications and will leave the homepage and bookmarks on your current settings.Customers who want to access the 360 services will be able to do so once the Android 2.2 compatible version is available and, in the meantime, can now download apps like 360 People from the Android Marketplace. We plan to make the 360 apps available in a separate update for the HTC Desire at a later date, giving customers the choice to download it.
We will let you know when the date for delivery of the Android 2.2 update is finalised and subject to testing,we expect this to be in 7-10 days time
Apologies if the format is weird but I just copied and pasted

Sounds like complaining actually did the job! I did not think Vodafone would budge on that.

Yes and rightly so

I amn't on Vodafone UK but this is good news. Installing bloatware before you get your phone is bad but ok. Installing it AFTER you get your phone and releasing it at the same time a major System update was expected so as to get as many people downloading it as possible was a bad move.
great news i think..accept when i downloaded it i went out of my way to flash the rom and get different roms installed.. now how do i go back to what it was like before lol
Well done to everyone that complained i know i did
It does say towards the end that they are going to make another update after 2.2 that has the 360 junk in it so we can choose if we want it or not... im a little confused
so the 2.2 update will clear the voda branding... then shortly after there will another update "2.2 update 1" or something like that, that will put the branding back on?
Whats the point in that, it said we'll have the choice to download it or not, but if we dont and eventually 2.3 comes out will that bypass the 2.2.1 branding update?.
because i asume having an update that you dont install, it will keep showing up eveytime i check for a software update & i'll reject it
so when 2.3 comes out it will still be there as i wouldnt have installed it
so eventually we're going to have to install it to get past it to future updates.
Or have i misunderstood the whole thing?

Vodafone are a money making machine, one way or another they will look to put added 'value' onto all their handsets, they will just change their T&C's for new android handsets allowing branded apps etc. in future.
You can also bet that they will not be spending much time releasing updates if they are not seeing any financial return from them. Don't be surprised if the 2.2.bloat release is the last you see for the Desire.
Personally I've just jumped off the Vodafone wagon (well, for software updates anyway), they tell you anything to get you to commit to a contract, my salesperson categorically stated that OTA updates will be directly from HTC and not have any Vodafone intervention - silly me for believing that!
Now I'm happily flashing ROMS after Unrevoked and love my Desire again, only wish I had done it sooner! Gingerbread is on my Christmas wish list
Its been 10 days now anyone know/heard anything?

They've said on their forum that it'll be late...
Orange HTC Desire Froyo Update??
C'mon Orange! At least let us know what timelines we're talking about here. If Vodafone can sort it out, why are you leaving us hanging!!?? Also - please follow Vodafone's lead and not include all your bundled 'Crapware'!! Its annoying and pointless.
whoop whoop! even this doesn't give me back the time I wasted on debranding and rooting! well, still waiting for this!
OTA froyo installed from Vodafone
Posting this using my PC WiFi tethered to my HTC Desire
The 360 update icon hasn't disappeared - though the splash screen seemed not to be the Vodafone one anymore - will need to do some further tests.
What else should I look for to show if the bloatware is gone or not?
Cheers
Just updated mine now need to test it!

I'm a quite new user to smartphones I've got a desire but just want some general advice on how to have it setup what apps are a must have and also recently got that stupid Vodafone update.

Regarding the Vodafone update, hopefully they'll have the FroYo release out soon for you branded guys. As for apps, it depends what you want of your phone. For me, I only use it for the odd email and FB/Twitter so I don't need a lot...others think it's a desktop replacement so need every app under the sun!
Just try what other people are using and see if you like those apps too:

OK, i flashed Supervillan ROM yesterday. Enjoying the ROM however the market is in some very weird currency? tried using Market Enabler but closest i can get is o2 de? Thus all apps are in Euros. there seems a lot of apps too that are missing that i got no probs when i was using defrost, ie toggle settings and root explorer to name a couple.
Can anyone help with this issue or send me in a rom direction that has uk market as standard! Its driving me nuts lol.
ps - not going back to defrost. Was using it full time but phone went belly up so sent off for repair. Not saying defrost was to blame - just not using it again incase it was
Try Paid Apps Enabler

It has Voda UK option.
Just wondering if the suffering is over..lol. Lemme know peeps.
I have the leaked ROM from a few weeks back, but haven't been notified of an OTA update and, as of a minute ago, it shows that my OS is up to date.

Hi, I just upgraded my A100 (US version) to the latest 4.0.3 software, but the newest software doesn't have any Chinese language display support. The older 3.2 software did. Does anyone know how to get the Chinese language support? Thanks!
What build number are you on? .014, .015, .017? I've heard the .017 pa_ca was missing languages. You might be able to manually change over to the .014, that has all of them, it is in the Dev section.
Still waiting. Gen 2 3.2.1
Still waiting too. 3.2.1 build Acer_A100_2.007.05_COM_GEN2. Rooted with Crossix's build.prop and SD card mount mods.
ACER_A100_2. 001.01_COM_GEN2
That's what mine says.
I'm rooted but no other mods.

I am unsure of the build because my Dad has the A100 right now. Is there a way to add a language without rooting the device?
Gen2 3.2.1 here, still waiting. Mine is completely stock, not even rooted.
Was travelling and the OTA update request kept coming up while i was in Malaysia (visiting relatives). The update kept failing, I figured it might be because I used Titanium Backup to integrate some of the updated apps (gapps, etc) into the ROM and that I might have to revert to a stock rom. (I was running low on space, too many apps? )
Got back home to Canada and now it says that I'm up to date on HC? Has the OTA update been removed or has it been delayed in Canada?
Nope I Bought Mine On Sunday At The Source And It's Updated To Android 4.0.3, So I Rooted it And Now Am Waiting On The Case I Bought On Ebay And My New 32GB Card To Arrive So I Can Do That Memory Card Swap With It.

nah dude, i haven't gotten the update either
I am still on 3.2.1 GEN 2. Been on it for a while. Update tells me that I am up to date. Support is useless. Talked with them 3 times and exchanged 3 emails. I tried several of their suggestions with no results. Got moved up to level support 2 days ago and they promised to call me with a solution. Still have not heard back. If this continues much longer I will try the downgrade to GEN 1 option or just go out and buy an I pad...
