No it's not, it's 9:15pm FRIDAY night. Weekend being Saturday and Sunday.

its friday night and friday night has been and always will be weekend to me

just relax everyone. It wil be here by sunday midnight. I'm sure someone is going to post a new post the very minute they get the option to download 2.2 OTA, so until you see that thread, its not here yet.

LMAO i would laugh so much too, would be hilarious if like they were all lying and the update isn't actually coming out for another year!

people are so stupid, when they say this weekend, they dont mean 0.00 on saturday morning, just wait its gonna be within the next two days.

What's the differences between official froyo and the custom versions? Better battery life? Have been on sense froyo for ages.. Unless it increase the battery life otherwise can't see any point of being excited..

Official release of the OS is better simply because everything is working just fine... Or at least on 99% ...
The versions of Froyo for Desire are a leaked ones and even they work fine they have lots of issues to be fixed...
I'm not so experienced in Android OS but these are my visions on that problem. That's why I didn't root and install some of the cooked versions of Froyo for Desire and waited (... and still waiting) for the official release of 2.2 Froyo
Even though I'm a little bit reserved about that the Froyo will be rolled out this weekend I have some hope that it would become true and we, the Desire users, will taste the flavor of the frozen yogurt soon!

According to engadget the evo has now got froyo available to download from HTC

Let the Official 2.2 looking for Root access commence!

do you have to completely unroot the desire in order to get the OTA update notification? Or can I keep my rooted phone with a rooted stock rom in order to have the OTA update?

Yea evo got froyo. Just saw a video on youtube from androidcentral. They say its not final build

I didn't updated to 1.21, i'm still on 1.15; do you think i can jump directly to Froyo when it'll be available or must i before update to 1.21?

Well seems like even HTC don't know the answer to this.

How about adding age limit to this site?

I'm afraid that would "work" like elsewhere over the net

HTC initially said end of Q2, which would mean end of this month but I am unsure if that has changed or not.

Good morning

I don't think that an age limit is what should be added. I believe that we should add an account age limit(about 1-2 months or so) to prevent noob spamming.... There are more 13 year olds here who know how to root/flash here that some 25'ers

It will be rolled out when it's finished.

I was bored one day and went on to the Desire wiki page.
They claim there it'll be released this month.
Either way, the outcome won't help me either way, I'm using a custom ROM.

Even folks who use custom roms MAY benifit from a HTC released 2.3 version of the system as it may be used in future custom roms.
And who knows despite of all the usual whining about HTC they MAY have made some improvments!

Gingerbread released to developers

Gingerbread has been released to developers.

You can flash this only via RUU (and probably from SD card if you extract rom.zip). OTA is not available.
Were are all the people that ranted that there is no Gingerbread update now!

Lol, anyone has tested it?

There still technically isn't as most of the comments seemed to be for an OTA update.

So, is that it? Or can we expect more? As it stands, it's a big "take your ****ing GB and don't come running to us expecting support, suckers!"

Wait, let me guess - you won't be buying another HTC device unless you get moar?

awesome

I don't care if there is more, I'm happy with my installed ROM. I'm just in awe of htc's way of doing things, which I find inappropriate to say the least.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

i dont get what the big fuss over getting gingerbread from htc is, we already hav more gb roms than you can imagine to choose from, i can understand someone that hasnt a clue about android and there phone, they see there getting an update and think happy days, but surely all the people that are on xda should hav knowledge of rooting and stuff, so they dont need gingerbread as they already should hav it, im using xjs miui conversion and couldnt care less if htc release gingerbread, doesnt put me off buying another htc phone, ramble over lol

Any rooted realese?

I can only talk for myself, and in my case what bothers me is the whole " Gingerbread? yes! no! yes but not whole!" followed by nothing more than a developers build, released last minute. That's just f'ed.

i try my best not to take any notice, yes its hard because its all you seem to see here, the thing is htc make brilliant phones, and while there making brillliant phones and the cleverer devs are rooting them and making amazing roms then we have nothing to worry about

Indeed. If they announce Gingerbread update via Facebook, it should be an update that the average Facebook user can actually get to their phone.
If they had announced here that a developer build was coming, that would have been ok. Then again, as a whole the amount of support for Desire wouldn't have been, only the announcement part.

timestamps on the files seem to suggest they have had this ready since 15th - 22nd july.
fairly last minute considering testing period

I don't remember them announcing it will be an OTA release. Even more, there was a rumor it might be a ruu. So they delivered the update on schedule, but you jumped to conclusions based on something they never promised, and now it is a problem too. It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are

Bah so no on the air update? that sucks.

anyone checked to see if it is S-Off?

So that means that we normal users (unrooted) cannot install it?

"Hi everyone. We have more news about our build of Gingerbread for Desire. Our testing has gone well so we will begin rolling out the update by the end of July! Thank you again for your support!"
Ok.
Where is the rumor that it might be a ruu?How many times HTC released a rom by ruu, on any device???
The update on schedule was "by" not "at"...
"Testing has gone well" - that means that the update is in developer state or ready to release?What that means to you, smartass?
"It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are " - do you have a Facebook page, moron? If you do, do you feel a little bit "idiotic"?

Has there been an ETA given on next update?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard anything from HTC on the release of the next update? I just recently got my One-X and the first thing I noticed was three dots stealing my beautiful screen real estate. Fancy my surprise to hear this is being fixed in the next update ;-)

No

We never get ETAs. Just a bunch of people without a clue, guessing.

I really hate that 3dot menu so I really want that update. After a broken mainboard and lucky me got a new one without charge with a custom rom installed. All is like new now and there's no open bootloader so I wanna wait and see what happends...

Development

I'd like your opinion guys on how much development this device might see over the coming months. It looks surprisingly dire at the moment, despite xda opening a forum right after release. Is the lack of Exynos support part of the problem or is it poor pricing and/or sales? What about official CM support? What about Official 4.3 update, I'm beginning to question if Samsung will deliver it as I've been burnt by them before on a new device that got abandoned(Galaxy W).
PS:I don't have one yet but I intend to get a Note 8 soon

I'm sure the development will pick. I just picked one up so I'll be doing some development for it

The exynos will always cause development issues. It is not a developer friendly chip

thanks i just picked mine up yest might have to exchange it for another one haha im having problems with wifi

wont connect at all, or drops signal?
are you on wireless N, or B/G?
have you rooted yet?

no i havent rooted it yet still stock. It connects fine and seems not to drop the signal but when i try to login it just wont do it. I also cant browse the web or do anything internet related

i'd try to factory reset in stock recovery and start over; if not, return it if its still "under warranty"..

I've reset it twice already haha I'm gonna try and update it through sammobile and see if it helps. I don't have another day off until Tues so I have some time

I hope to see some work done for the note, I just found out 4.2.2 is rolling out for the LTE version. I would help beta test anything I could with the wifi only version. I am hoping to test out mobile odin soon. I have a transformer TF300T an run cleanRom aka cromi 4.7 on it and love it, would like to see a nice stock cleaned out rom an tweaked lol
I think over the next few months more people will pick these up for school an the holidays an then we should see more dev work.
