Good question...I'm also wondering...

this was posted a while back
it was on their twitter page
if i remember they said they expect it to be in november but could not provide an exact date (so i would be dubious)
They've been saying September on twitter, but aren't being any more specific as to when exactly.

Even today they ahve posted on twitter that it will be some time this month, and when they find out when they will tell us.
I think they are taking the piss making us wait this long.

I'm pretty sure O2 has released the 2.2 update for the Desire.
T Mobile have managed to screw up the android os so many times that I think they are staffed by chimps.
There are so many good roms out you should unlock your phone and use the quality releases that can be found on this board.
Orange are worse .. I think we should have a Phone provider top 10 ... of muppets...
Orange keep saying coming soon... see my thread ... I have Hboot 0.75 so may root etc soon ...but then why should I ??

To be fair to TMo, they did very, very little to brand the Desire ROM - essentially a boot screen and a few changed icons.
It makes it all the more surprising that they are so slow to roll out the Froyo update when so little has been changed.

people w8ing for virgin mobile to issue froyo might have to w8 a little longer. i emailed them about the twitter page which says the froyo would be released early september but this is their reply

Thats the problem with trusting different networks for upgrades. They are a massive pain as unlocked users got it ages ago whilst the rest of us have to wait ages.
Just take the HTC vanilla Froyo. I did and it's great.

You just need to root (should be a sticky thread under Desire Development) then choose a rom of your choice.

Well the ota update is there now if you still want, personally I'm sticking with pinky.

I got it from here as at the time it was the easiest download.

It's some dodgy looking Chinese site but it worked out fine. I didn't root or anything and I can't quite remember if I used a goldcard or not - probably did as it's needed to get round branding.
When will it come??
Late April to May was the last I heard, but will it have HTC Sense 2.1?
Read the other numerous threads instead of starting a pointless one
not sure but its good news that is coming soon
I read that it does but not sure how reliable they were
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have read http://bit.ly/gSN39i. If the update is allready in the hands of the 3 network for testing, wouldn't it normally be the case that it would now be released to un-branded handsets?
I read somewhere like end of April/May... and in Android community forum a tweet of guy who is working on Gingerbread ROM for HTC desire..not sure how legti this might be...

NFC on Desire? I thought it does not have any hardware for that.

Some people are sure that 3 network, on twitter, confused the update with the one of the Desire HD..But i hope they really mean our Desire
the os may have support for it - whether the hardware is there or not...
No need to suspect. Just check out the FCC website. It does not.
3 UK stated its end of April/early May.

The problem is, what 3 UK mean? Desire or Desire HD? Some people asked about the gingerbread update for the Desire HD and they told the same date

Still love my desire, because all those new phones have those touchkeys. (home, menu ...)
Looks like Samsung beat HTC this time, Galaxy S in EU recieved Gingerbread update today.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/16/galaxy-s-gingerbread-update-now-rolling-out-across-europe/
For me this is another important point for decision between SGS2 and HTC Sensation.
bit disappointed that samsung beat htc to pushing out gingerbread, hoping to see the update come soon though, especially with the sign of the leaked gingerbread update
Typed on Motorola Xoom
gingerbread leaked for Desire
I cooked ROM and flashed a2sd works. Updated Radio its based on the old Sense with some tweak. Had old marker but was able to update Vending apk. Unfortunately, because don't post often unless I can contribute I'm considered a new member and am not allowed to post in the development area or upload files. I based by ROM on leedroid's previous roms as in my opinion he is one of the top 2 developers working on HTC Desire ROMs.
Anyhow, his version is set to be out tonight. Search the forum threads. Again not new sense but its gingerbread and its a begining.
Acc to Eurodroid "HTC Desire Android 2.3 update coming in the middle of May" at least for the Three/UK customers. anyway, it will -soon or later- come to all our Desires.
Personally, I will be keep waiting until my contract expiry date comes (~Apr 2012) with better feelings against HTC if I get this eagerly awaited update. Cheers!

Samsung have just released GB upgrade for SGS in Europe which means they hv taken over HTC in terms of updates. Hope HTC reacts that quickly and will not leave us, Desire owners, alone.

I keep hoping that with the leaked rom that came out that the proper update/RUU will be out soon...
keep toying between rooting and trying the new rom on my phone - and waiting... at the moment (as I have my xoom to play with too) that I'm leaning on waiting
I have an unbranded device and it says no update available here in Germany. however, according to this page (http://top10.com/mobilephones/news/2011/06/android_2_3_gingerbread_htc_desire_desire_hd_t_mobile/) UK based T-mobile customers can update.
I must say I'm a bit peeved that a carrier update is before an unbranded one - after all thats one of the reasons I bought unbranded!
This update is for the desire hd, and for this phone the rom for unbranded phones is rolled out since beginning of april:

Remember, you are in htc desire section here.
You are quite right..I was far too eager to see an update for my desire...oh well its time to wait and watch again!

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?

Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
*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. They said will provide info about the removed apps starting from this week.
They lied us again, no matter for the info or for the update itself

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"
Here's the link to the Facebook page:

Ok people,
Just been on to HTC and they have confirmed that the 1.29.401.7 is out in the wild for UK users.
I have not had mine yet but they said this... (has anyone had there update yet?)
Robert: Hi Richard, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Robert: I understand you wish to know when the latest Android 1.29 OTA update will be coming to your device.
In answer to your query the HTC One X Android 1.29 software update via FOTA EU is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle 30,000 updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update soon. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.
To manually search for updates please go through the following steps as described in the link below:
http://www.htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=141676&type=1&p_id=440
For the latest news releases Please go to Our official HTC website, http://www.htc.com/uk/
Or web Fan pages e.g. Facebook & Twitter.
HTC thank you for your continued patience and co-operation at this time.
Richard Dixon: But thats great and all yet no one in the UK has received this update that I know of... (unless they got there phone from france or germany)
Robert: I can confirm it has been released.
Richard Dixon: Ive seen people asking on your official facebook and twitter. So its out in the UK?
Robert: Yes it is out in the UK.
PLEASE NOTE AFTER A FEW COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD IT SEEMS THE UPDATE IS NOT OUT IN THE UK AS OF YET AND HTC MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE. WILL POST MORE INFORMATION WHEN I GET IT.

Hi mate is your phone locked to Vodafone? This update is just for unbranded sim free phones at the moment, your network provider will release this update sometime later.
Already on it, RUU
But good to see it now slowly rolling out.

Looking forward to the improved battery life . Ive been told it also makes HTC Sense a bit smoother, is that true? Ive noticed that some of the Live wallpapers stutter a bit.
Nothing for me yet either on an unbranded T-Mob HOX.
Damn it, I just sent my One X for Exchange as it had a fault, oh well, I guess I'll have the update ready for me when I get another one back on Thursday, gives my fingers a break from mashing the 'check now' button.
Nothing yet, Im on vodafone but unbranded HOX.
nothing on my unbranded one as well, and htc said the same thing to me a week ago and nothing yet
They've been giving the same canned response for a week. They seem to think it's out here but it ain't. I have been speaking to HTC at a high level about it as I believe some mistake has resulted in the UK not getting it. I will report back whatever I hear.

The guy speaking to me said he had received his update yesterday and its a UK handset so im unsure mate.
I'm already on it - RUU
But, I've noticed:
Slight improvement in home screen lag, it's still there...
Much lower AnTuTu score
& according to HTC's own built in battery test, battery is worse than 1.28
I went from 90% left after the test on 1.28, down to 88% on 1.29
So, battery not as good maybe? & benching is much lower...
Hmm.....

Stay tuned....ill need to investigate and send a few mails. But it seems a bit strange. I received my update this weekend. But that was on a Nordic device. Keep checking manually. I'll keep you informed. Cheers
So at least someone's checking.
