Desire Z Gingerbread Update - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I heard HTC were releasing gingerbread for the desire z in June. Well, it's a week into July, and I can't find any news on the update anywhere.
Anyone know anything about the progress of that update? Cheers

Well according to bell, they stated a few days ago that the dz update to gingerbread was delayed to mid summer

Fresh news from HTC CZ/SK (Czech republic/Slovakia, Europe ) says they're currently in latest fase of testing and FOTA update should be released during next week. It can take a moment to cover all phones, but until the end of month all of phones should get the update.

Same on the HTC UK site now. Soon!

Of course we will (we = XDA members), it will be ported to the Desire as soon as it hits the Nexus One.
Something new for us to play with in the next few weeks

[Q] USCC HTC Desire 2.3?

Now that USCC and HTC have released froyo for the Desire, when will Gingerbread be released? Or can it on the Desire? Would it be a hardware incompatibility? Anyone have any inside info? Since it took sooooo long to release froyo, can we expect Gingerbread to be a Christmas present? Thanks all.

There isn't any hardware requirements for android gingerbread as far as I know. And the desire is capable of gingerbread.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply. Now, it will be interesting to see how long it will be before the USCC Desite gets Gingerbread.

That's for unbranded handsets, you then have to wait on the operator versions if your phone is on branded firmware - which could be months
Once a new firmware is available, it will be quickly "adapted" to branded handsets, always have been.
So why has it taken til 2 weeks ago for USCC customer to get FroYo when it was released last August?
I don't expect Gingerbread until at least Q2. The track record so far is sub-par at best and the rate USCC is going with updates, It'll be christmas before we see anything.

Just saw this on ZDNet for our Desires. No Gingerbread...
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetrev...-for-htc-desire/25557?tag=mantle_skin;content
Yup, it was on wired. HTC has officially said no GB for the Desire because there is not enough memory to place nice with sense.
Your only chance is a customer ROM.

[Q] when will Htc Desire get the 2.3 update!

When will the official 2.3 Gingerbread update be provided for HTC desire..it has bee released for Nexus one bt not for Desire yet! Any Ideas??, Thnak you.
According to UK carrier three its around late April early may that they plan to actually release 2.3 on desire. That is for 'three' branded handsets I hope unbranded ones get released earlier than that
Check out Android central they have an article
Hope it comes with new sense too

I tried posting link but I'm a new user and can't sorry. Check out Android central its there apparently the news released on Twitter

Be careful what you believe, if you read their timeline then you'll see that Three UK gave the exact same answer on Twitter for questions regarding HTC Desire *and* HTC Desire HD (when asked for a 2.3 date by different users with different phones). Giving the same answer may have been a mistake.
Reports from MWC Barcelona 2011 said the newer HD and Z will be updated first, followed by the original Desire a while later (early summer). Personally, I still believe this schedule to be more accurate and more realistic.
There is 1 definitive answer... q2.
Sent from CM7
perhaps in june 2011
reports say telus will recieve there ota late april early may but thats what they said about froyo and it was delayed quite abit
Considering with Desire-S still not available in any market (it will be outdated already on its day one but this is another issue) assume our Desires will not get it before 2 months after its release = Q3/2011 (shame HTC) presumably my next device will be a SGS.

Does DesireHD already got Gingerbread? Because we wont get Gingerbread before DHD for sure.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
DesireHD doesn't have gingerbread yet.
I hope the updates all come out soon.
Does anyone know if the new sense will be coming to the original desire with update?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I think yes.
And we will have to wait :-( they should translate gingerbread for Russia. So I hope we will get it in q4 2011. But of course you can use unofficial mods like I do;-)

Don't get a age you will regret it massively the desire is a much better device. I tried the sgs I have used it for about a week and it's now on eBay. The lag when using the phone gets worse and is a pain to open apps as they takes ages because of rfs. The build quality is also really bad compared to the desire. Only good point about it is the screen.

+internal storage +real multitouch +wifi/n +dlna etc. anyway, I actually meant coming models in Galaxy series from Samsung.

we had a similar thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730416&page=15
also I'm more inclined to think that the DHD and DZ will get the GB update first as already mentioned - then the Desire Original a little later - best case is that it comes at the same time -
also I imagine that the GB update will include a newer sense version as it makes little sense to have a DS, DHD, DZ on a newer sense than the DO - else it's two platforms (DS/DHD/DZ on new and DO on old) to keep updated/fixed rather than just one (across four devices)

2.3 OTA Update

I'm hearing of some unbranded UK Desires receiving an OTA update to Gingerbread, has anyone else seen this? Nothing on mine yet, and since it's unbranded I imagine it's not a staggered rollout.
Anyone know what's going on, or are my sources false?
I've not heard anything to maybe a fail. I guess if you find HTC's RUU then it will be rolling out soon. About now is when it's rolling out so maybe so.
Well after some checking I can confirm that a desire, possibly on TMob got a system update a couple days ago, but can't confirm whether it was 2.3 or just a pre update of some sort, also not sure if the desire is branded or not.
unfortunately the phone is a work phone that my friend doesn't have currently so can't get any more details at this moment.
Nothing here. Unbranded handset :-(

HTC Official Update
I received the following email today from HTC Customer Care in response to a question as to when they will fix the widely reported Google leak (potential security flaw in Android).
In regards to your last response, in order to to get the security update when it is being issued, you have to have a base of the 2.3 Gingerbread update on your handset, in which case will be released this summer for devices such as HTC Desire.
Currently we do not have a specific date as to when the 2.3 will be released for other handsets as at this time the update is only being issued to HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S.
summer? geeez... I thought it was going to be anytime soon this month... Bit fed up of waiting...

...based on GB leak whose base is buggered. Until we get an official OTA we can't hope for stable GB Sense roms.

Check my sig. I can't say I noticed something actually does not work, which I can say for some other roms people swore are rock stable, but it drains battery and there is obvious lag especially with alternative launchers and animations. That said, I can cope with some lag, but I can't cope with memory leaks, bootloops, ads etc.
So you can't just yet say it is as it is meant to be, but it comes to that this actually works. Not extra smooth, but it does.
