Also check out i00's Sensation port with Sense 3.0. Very Nice.

UK unbranded...updated,no issues with Wi-Fi,some small problems with Extended control widget and crash with Sygic 3.0
[Desire HD General] orangebloke:
i did the update yesterday and bye bye wifi. tried reboots etc. and not confident enough to flash/root etc. so rang htc to get it sent to them for a presumable firmware downgrade and they have given me a 20 day turnaround. what a smooth operation. LOL

System update available on an unbranded DHD. Fingers crossed for no WiFi issues.

Update:

30 minutes later all seems ok, liking the new app drawer being seperated across 3 tabs. WiFi signal working :)
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
They should has put the lock screen tv effect on and the colours on the top and bottom of the menus.

I know these are only small cosmetic changes but they do add a bit of style.

I just got answer from HTC about upgrade for branded DHD in Ireland:

"In regards to the android 2,3 I can see that your device is branded to 3 network. Which means that it will be longer for you to get the upgrade.

You will receive it once the hutch have customized the rom and released it."

I asked 3 when they will know something about upgrade, but no answer yet.
[Desire HD General] society mike:
We got OTA update available back on the 12th here in Japan. (softbank branded)

I haven't updated yet as I can't see here on XDA if my current root will stick or if i can root after the update. I just want the updates improved camera functions and the slight speed increase.

I don't use Sense at all since I'm using ADW launcher.

Before an update, should I do radio s off? Will it stick after OTA?
[Desire HD General] LeeArden:
well, from how htc has dealt with this so far, that must mean they have no idea when and just keep pushing the date...
[Desire HD General] robcen:
Hi,

I got answer from Three.ie

Thanks for your email.

Currently, we do not have any update about the android 2.3 for your HTC Desire HD handset. Any update about the same will be published on our website www.three.ie. We are unable to provide you with a specific date for it.

Should you require any further help, don’t hesitate to contact us on free phone 1913 and request to speak to a member of our 3Customer Services Team or you can come back to me on Customer.Services.ie@3mail.com

Kind Regards,

and then I got another answer from HTC:

It is possible that they have not got any day or any current plans to customize the upgrade.

The three network are usually one of the last ones to release the updates for their branded devices.

Anyone got the OTA in Canada?
[Desire HD General] trisbel:
can those who'be updated to ginger bread verify if htc updated the radio as well?
[Desire HD General] society mike:
After a day with my update, I have noticed much better battery life and GPS lock is nearly instant. I also have seen a marginal improvement with 3g and highspeed data connection. So, I assume the radio was part of the update, at least here in Japan.

I have also turned off usb debugging (which was always on before to save battery) and battery life is amazing. I've used it heavily today and I'm still at 77% after 10hrs.

Yep, it doesn't make sense that the HK 2.3.3 update is still pending !!!

No sure what HTC Hong Kong is doing?

[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
Looks like the OTA update is exactly the same as the leaked WWE RUU update from looking at other people's software & build numbers. So if any of you want to update to it without waiting - just download the leaked update that is already in the development section, this is what I did a few days ago and my DHD is stock & unrooted and was on the 1.32 stock ROM.

All I did was run the downloaded leaked RUU .exe through Windows and did it that way. I wouldn't worry about the Quadrant benchmark as I imagine they may need to make it fully Gingerbread compatiable first.

Latest Reply from HTC re GB Wifi Problem

Locating this problem required identifying parts of code in the network driver, not something that would shop up in beta testing. If the wi-fi signal in the test environment is good enough this problem would not show up, which means there would be no reason to look into how the driver is coded. As I said, Google have been notified that customers do not like this change but at the moment I cannot provide you with a working solution for this.

Possibly I might be able to persuade to have your phone sent in for repair to be flashed back to a previous version but I think the chances for that is low and I don't think you would prefer that as a solution either.

[Desire HD General] angler:
Simply HTC hope so. They have spent months to release 2.33 to most European countries then spent another couple of months to Asian countries. Just push customers to change their device to newer OS annually. That's why HTC has earned a lot in recent years by furnishing customers hope to have at least an update to their current device. I like Apple OS update policy even I dislike iPhone close ecosystem.

Meteor Ireland Gingerbread Update

Myself and many others are still waiting on the 2.3 update or even some news that it has been halted or postponed due to issues but any time i contact HTC they offer me the Desire update or tell me i will just have to wait as it is being rolled out to everyone:(

I have waited patiently and am now considering taking the handset back for a refund as the ability to update was part of the sale. I might try out a samsung galaxy S2 or other handset that actually meets the claims made about it!:mad:

I bought this expensive phone before christmas and at that time there was a shortage of the HTC Desire HD so i am now wondering have HTC made some shortcuts with some batches of the Desire HD and these are not capable of accepting the update? around this time there was also rumoured issues with the screens and this also could be causing issues for HTC?

The silence and lack of answers from HTC is matched by the silence from Meteor Ireland anad makes me think they are completly baffled by it all:confused::confused:

At this stage i am not expecting to get this update at all or it will become available long after i have upgraded to a proper handset with real OTA support and updates!
[Desire HD General] Agoattamer:
Not sure about Ireland but there have been numerous gingerbread updates across Europe and Asia. Some areas are on their second update. 2.36 > 2.50 and 2.52 in HongKong. Is your phone branded through your carrier or purchased from out of your region? If yes then that is where the issue may lie. And as far as contacting support at HTC.....those phone answering idiots are the same as any other. They don't know even how to turn the phone on yet give you detailed advice. The give generic answers from a book. Have you tried moving up a few tiers at HTC?

And before you jump the band wagon to samsung, please check their track record for updates. In the USA we still have Galaxy phones with eclair let alone froyo. And major issues as far as freezing and gps. Samsung has been promising updates for quite some time to these phones and they just get pushed back. Or they release an update only to pull it days later. Then the monthly wait goes on. If it wasn't for XDA my girl's samsung epic would still be on eclair. No samsung for me. Samsung hasn't put out a quality phone since the samsung sync (flip phone) in my opinion. Grass is always greener on the other side.

A friend of mine just got the update in Bulgaria. Updated from 1.72 to 2.36 no problems. I actually updated this morning manually from the leaked RUU. I can confirm the build is the same on the OTA and the leaked RUU.

Also I was rooted before so the OTA probably would not work for me anyway, I flashed manually to be sure.

P.S. I see now some people with rooted and s-off phones have trouble updating. Just do what i did - manually flash system,boot and radio from the RUU.
