True, Microsoft support is more then 2 years, but their releases are not (At least not far behind). The Reason support is less (occasionally) then 24 months is due to the carriers. The Contract is 24 months at Vodafone/Orange/O2 ect Discression, not HTC's.

You CAN get a Desire on 12 Month contracts, but you pay more for the handset first off. Most people have CHOSEN a 24 month contract as the Handset is subsidized over the 24 months. HTC are not obliged to release updates for 24 months, if you have a 24 Month contract (I do) then that is your choice (It was mine)

Either Way, IMO, Gingerbread is a Bonus, not a right on HTC's part
[Desire General] Lothaen:
aren't manufacturers (soon to be) suppose to be supporting a device with updates (unless hardware prevents) for 18 months, as mentioned by google... probably not in place yet though but...

anyway yes I think GB is a bonus.

I think if HTC said from the start that GB wasn't coming they wouldn't have had this massive public moan about it being declined at the last minute :) probably would have been a much smaller moan

I chose to buy my handset outright and have a rolling 1month contract - meaning it cost me £400 to get the phone, as I was peeved by the HTC Touch HD / Blackstone on a 24 month contract only for it to be out of support almost instantly, no upgrade to 6.5 (without custom rom), and also the HD2 came out about 6 months later...
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Every one keeps saying "well they dont have to support it its already over 12 months old"

You keep forgetting that HTC just released the desire in north america in August of 2010. Dropping support for a device thats just over 6 months old is not a good move on their part.
[Desire General] undercover:
And that is a very valid point.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I never ever saw a software update to the nokia 3210 and had that for years... :p
[Desire General] undercover:
Damn, we better demand one from Nokia, it's well overdue :D and gps fix as well ;)
[Desire General] aaa:
The problem is that HTC promised something and the customers are demanding the promised to be fullfilled.

If I were HTC, I wouldn't promise anything, if I wanna release something, I would have just released it, if not than not.

The thing is, broken promises will disappoint customers.That is why many customers are mad.

Saying that it is not possible made things worse because all the rooters have already 2.3 and Sense even beyond.

Not saying/promising anything should avoid such problem.

HTC should really learn how to keep the mouth shut. :)

Hi Guys,

Quick question - for 1.4, can I put it on my phone without losing settings, apps etc?

Reason I ask this is because in the thread on the dev. section, it says that it can be done for version 1.0.. so I'm unsure.

Many Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dany__:
Hi BloomerzUK

You can flash it directly through ODIN, you wont loose any settings or applications.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloomerzUK:
Thanks very much :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenkoh:
im quite confusing.. please help..

in on O2 network from UK. my pda is KE2. this is untouch SGS2. no root, no mods, no debrand done.

do i need to debrand it or update it first on KE7?

it is safe that i flash lightning rom 1.4 direct?

do i start on 1.0 first?

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dany__:
Hi,

Flash an unbranded rom first for better results and peace of mind.

After that you can flash lightning 1.4 directly, it's not necessary to begin from 1.0

The last lightning rom(1.4) is based on KF1 kernel , not KE7.

1.4 will upgrade the baseband to KE7 and you will get root access and clockworkmod without doing additional updates.

Good luck

Anyone updated yet

I have tried on 2 stock roms (rooted) and neither say there is an update available - before going back to stock via the 11 step process, has anyone actually updated their device yet - or am I just not patient enough and the update is actually rolling out slowly and not available manually? Any help is appreciated, since I would hate to blast phones to get the update (i would rather wait on a rooted version, but would love to get a better experience than the current ROM provides!)
[Droid 2 Global General] jbroderick:
I too would rather wait for a rooted version but I'm too excited to use Gingerbread. I will roll back my rom to the original tonight via Moto RSD Lite and then try the update, I will report back if all goes well... or not, hehe.

[Droid 2 Global General] eggzrule:
Just tried checkin as well and no gingerbread love here, either. In Columbus, Ohio. I believe the update is still in it's "soak-test" phase, which means only a select few will actually receive it just yet. My guess is we're sstill a week out from actual release, but don't quote me on it. Only wishful hoping at this point :D .
[Droid 2 Global General] rhcp011235:

Ive tried the *#*#checkin#*#* also no go.

Anyone got it yet? I wish we can find the SBF so we can just flash it ourselves
[Droid 2 Global General] giganticprune:
will being rooted prevent me from getting the update?
[Droid 2 Global General] jbroderick:
If you have a custom ROM on your rooted device then most defiantly. I went back to the original stock using the 11 step process without a problem, but you will most probably have to wipe/factory data to get it to work.

I'm still waiting for the new update though :(
[Droid 2 Global General] jdmba:
Root, etc.

Just got a Droid 2 Global from Assurion (brand new) as a replacement for a stolen Droid 2. Pure stock, never been rooted; no update. So those of you with no update don't need to panic over whether you ran Z4ROOT or not; the update is NOT yet here, at least on my phone (California) and it is pure as the driven snow.

[Droid 2 Global General] rmancl:
I find it odd that so many people get upset because an update isn't released for their device. You shouldn't purchase a device based on the possibilities of an update that hasn't been released yet, you should base your purchase on what the device is currently capable of. I am looking forward to the update too, but be patient. Besides my phone runs great using HeXeN and when the update comes out i probably won't change unless their is a significant reason to.
[Droid 2 Global General] revision78:
If you want the latest and greatest android stock update every time you should really invest in getting Nexus type devices or Google Experience devices. Every other device you are basically getting what the manufacturer is coding for the device and then getting approval from the carrier and back and forth in a big dance. If you chose the Droid 2 Global you knew you were getting Blur or planned on dropping a ROM on it. I learned while my Fascinate was living that there is a lot of back and forth between Verizon and the manufacturers trying to get the customized systems done just the way they both want.
[Droid 2 Global General] Cunorix:

Over on the Motorola boards Gasai Yuno said there is a leaked D2G gingerbread image floating about on the net.... Has anyone seen it yet? I would imagine it will pretty quickly get rooted and be used to get CM7 working perfectly in the D2G...

Gingerbread Leak

I updated to the leaked GB Rom this morning, it has the newer, lighter "blur" interface. The system is quite fast, faster than stock froyo, and it appears that wifi issues and gsm issues have been solved. It's not yet freely rooted, but i'm gonna use it some more for today and report on any additional findings.

So far, awesome speed, apparent wifi and gsm fixes, seems to be using skinned, stock GB keyboard.
[Droid 2 Global General] vypor87:
P3Droid has it rooted. I have yet to try it as I'm currently at work but I'm ready to try some rooted gingerblur when I get home. Currently I've been running HeXen 1.0.1 Froyo and it has been solid. Absolutely no random reboots and good battery life. Although it did make me realize blur does have some decent apps like the alarm clock, contacts and dialer.

My Droid 2 came with a Froyo which did not show any network message after a call or a message was successful. After upgrading to GingerBread 2.3.3 this issue started and I am not able to get rid of it. Basically this message comes as a pop-up after the call is made or a when a message is sent. This message contains a box sort of image and the title of the pop-up says "Network Message". Is there anyway i can disable this message. The phone was purchased in US and was bought to India. Waiting for a response eagerly.

No. There is no opened slot for MICRO SD Card. But, as i know, micro sd car is inside of surround. You can disassemble it and change standard 16GB card.
