prob wont be anything till about 1 o'clock uk time
[Desire General] groovepeppy:
3.35 PM here in Indonesia

Unbranded & big nothing . . .

:(
[Desire General] blossom:
Lets face it guys

HTC desire is not in priority list anymore, so they will do it when they have time.
[Desire General] stefank:
I waited for to me the update from the first August to the 15:mad:. while cyanogenmod 7 rulez! (italy) :D
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
If they really think this "not a priority" etc it is very short sighted.

The people who bought the Desire last March April and May are the ones who allowed the company to grow at the rate it has done.

We are the core. The beginning.

We have not upgraded to a new model yet (obviously) so its important they treat us as their "core following" and understand that keeping us happy mean we are more than likely to buy another HTC handset.

Alienate us and we will probably switch handset next time (which cannot be too far away really 6months maybe)
[Desire General] ranjii:
5:30pm in Singapore no update!!!
[Desire General] skyber:
Malaysia time 31/7/2011 5:43 PM +8:00 GMT

My Desire still show "There are no updates available for your phone"
[Desire General] hekermeker:
Totally agree.

I'm gonna change my phone tomorrow if I see no update today.

It was the same way with HTC Legend...

So, if HTC continues like this i will change definitely.
[Desire General] Daras79:
You Change your phone ? Samsung :) ?

Nothing on unbranded Desire in Poland too
[Desire General] reynard80:
Guys, the update wouldn't be OTA, would it? So checking OTA updates is no use..
[Desire General] msdl28712:
your info comes from where ?
[Desire General] reynard80:
Here

Seems that OTA is not possible as the partition table of the phone must be changed
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Thats speculations, not official source.
[Desire General] Daras79:
Ok, but this is not still confirm
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
While the title of that thread might suggest that it's confirmed, it's actually not.

It's just a rumor and FYI, HTC Sync has no update function or whatsoever.

If it's not going to be an OTA, it'll be a RUU, made available on the support page of the HTC Desire at htc.com.
[Desire General] msdl28712:
as others have said above speculation not information.
[Desire General] reynard80:
Ok, that's clear. Hopefully we will see something today. I would be surprised however if we do..
[Desire General] pavel54:
It's 12:20 PM in Poland, I think Asia can get it on 1 August if Europe gets later than 17-20 PM
[Desire General] FreeWolF80:
12.15 pm Italy: no update. But I don't think the update will be released today....:(
[Desire General] msdl28712:
froyo came out sunday about 1pm uk time

maybe
[Desire General] erklat:
You have to learn to separate valid information here from complete bull. And do it fast.
[Desire General] FreeWolF80:
Without any announce from HTC in the same day? For example in a facebook page or trought his site?
[Desire General] msdl28712:
no notice no warning just popped out
[Desire General] bergoulle:
Froyo showed up a 2pm in Belgium.
[Desire General] glumardok:
I wish you all a very nice end of July today :D
[Desire General] icano:
Not mine, but this capture appeared in a spanish Desire forum an hour ago:

ht tp://twitpic.com/5yqlm4

It doesn't seem fake!
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Still no update for me, **** my life.

:p
[Desire General] KrewCial:
Ive seen that image somewhere before...
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
I've been googling a bit and I found that with the FroYo update, the situation was pretty much the same.

Source: http://myhtcdesire.com/news/froyo-releases-current-status

and: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/68840/htc-update-desire-naar-android-22-komt-deze-week.html (Use google translate, it's in Dutch)

With FroYo, HTC said "next thursday (29/07/2010) we'll start rolling out the update, but not everyone will receive the update at once since we don't have the bandwith to do so."

Now, with Gingerbread, HTC said "By the end of July". Imo, a little bit vague but okay. My guess is that they could've released the update way sooner, but something was holding them back, as if they were waiting for something.. Somewhere along the thread I read that they were watching Alpharev? Might explain a thing or two. Anyway, we've all seen how July shortened and shortened and now, the last 12 hours have set in. The rolling out should start somewhere today, withouth HTC confirming this (today). I do guess, they'd post an update somewhere on facebook/twitter next week.
[Desire General] Nano112:
This is a photo from a Desire Z. You can google the build number.

And there is no update in Germany -.-
[Desire General] xbjin:
That is Desire Z,not Desire
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
Certainly looks genuine, but who knows!

I'm no expert at photoshop lol
[Desire General] groovepeppy:
Man, it's true, the pic explain there are official gingerbread updates from htc themself but it's not for our Desire!

How come i can say that, because the screenshots are not taken from Desire, look carefully on the hardware button, it's not Desire, more likely it was Desire S or even HD

hoax....
[Desire General] rayevg:
Why did you decide that this is not Desire? Look at the hardware buttons in the bottom.
[Desire General] erklat:
:eek:, 369 days without an update. I guess I won't be buying another HTC device due to the poor support.

:rolleyes:
[Desire General] M..N:
Tbh the keys do look like the desire who knows it maybe the one and plus the a big gap for the optical pad
[Desire General] wabrik:
yeah, right... :D
[Desire General] water1309:
maybe it started?...

It's nothing official but it may indicate that the roll out has started: Read her 5/6 comment

[Desire General] Alex-V:

[Desire General] Tommyen:
that was desire z
[Desire General] InsaneNutter:
+1 I would figure a lot of people here have been on 2.3 for months, with or without sense.

2.3 is not even a massive update in my opinion like 2.2, with 2.2 we got massive performance improvements, c2dm push (works perfect with Trillian) Flash, Wi-fi hotspot.

With 2.3 we have Near Field Communication, something the desire can not make use of anyway... an improved keyboard (the HTC Keyboard is better anyway if you ask me) and slightly improved copy / paste support.

If you want 2.3 a verity of roms have existed here for many months now, the official OTA might bring a few improvements to custom roms, I see no reason to wait for it though.
[Desire General] water1309:
I see some people just asked here (could've been my idea) :P

Oh well....
[Desire General] theyau:
Its now our never for us htc desire users
[Desire General] Dasco68:
My thoughts exactly thats why i cant see the big deal about this update as most of us are running 2.3 of sorts.
[Desire General] niko123456:
Because they've promised.. And people are suspicious they won't deliver. You can't lie to your customers, no matter why.
[Desire General] niko123456:
And besides, a year old is not obsolete. You can still buy it new.
[Desire General] msdl28712:
and ill scream and scream until im sick
[Desire General] howdid:
we need this ****ing drivers...
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Just quick remind of the update history:

If they fail to deliver update today, i will lose all the hope in HTC and its "customer service".

In 1 word: Pathetic.
[Desire General] ranjii:
9pm in Singapore .. still no update. I afraid HTC playing with us :(
[Desire General] KarlMarX:
2.3 would also offer a better audio experience I read somewhere. Like Bass and treble control or something?
[Desire General] itachi1706:
It's 9.05 pm in Singapore. Gonna check tomorow and see if HTC will keep their promise or not. :(
[Desire General] Q-Logic:
Oh sure, they will. Tommorow, next week, month... my ass.

HTC - Bunch of shameless liars. Don't play around with customer's nerves. Money, money, money - that's the all you want from us?
[Desire General] TVTV:
"There are no updates available [...]" in Romania, also. Stock unbranded Desire, 4:18 PM, 31-07.

I don't *need* GB, but if HTC said they will release it and don't, they'll lose my vote of confidence regarding purchasing future HTC phones in the future.
[Desire General] [armitage]:
Why do so many people post that they don't have it?

I don't understand this at all.

I don't assume that you have it,until you tell me otherwise.

Post when you have it,if you don't just shush...

Btw...15:30 in germany and jessica alba still hasn't blown me yet,I'll report back in 5.
[Desire General] kungzlatan:
no update available in sweden 15.32

i have a bad feeling about this..

htc don´t answer on fb page. but they deleted several post about gb..:(
[Desire General] Leonidas300:
Just checking this tread for development purposes and all I see is whining so here is my suggestion "People 23h59.59 tonight is still end of July so save you're *****ing for 00h00.00 on the 1st of Aug. If you don't wanna wait till then, root and get 2.3 like most of us did in March and enjoy ;-)"
[Desire General] Exterminatus:
Lold.

So, there is no updates in Russia. But I'm using rooted rom by Teppic74 and forgot, I used teppicify patch or not.
[Desire General] Thiesen:
I am sure HTC meant the last of July... the year 54435...

"The cake is..." no wait... "The Gingerbread is a lie"...

And no yummy Gingerbread at 16:02 in Sweden... :-(
[Desire General] pav4n:
If I remember rightly when Froyo came out was it not in batches?, like some people could get the update whilst others had to wait?, or am I remembering this wrong?
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
Really? If they are, they're just cleaning up the mess on their wall about the update which means that today (or somewhere in the coming days) the update will start rolling out. I can't imagine HTC cancelling the update but I can imagine HTC delaying the update a few days/weeks. We'll just have to wait and see.

Nope, you're completely right.

Although I believe this is only an issue for those who haven't rooted their phone, they will have to wait 'till the update becomes available for them, while the rooted users will be able to find a rooted copy somewhere on XDA :P
[Desire General] Nano112:

[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Not many hours passed before the official RUU could be downloaded from shipped-roms if I remember right. Nice to get rid of some old garbage too, and then just restore settings and stuff with MyBackup. That is if you for some reason or other do not wish to (or can!) root.

Not everybody who accepted the lastest OTA are able to root.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
There are ways of checking the OTA server but not for RUUs
[Desire General] k3lcior:

of course is unbranded :P
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I am tending to think that unless either:

Official announcement on FB or wherever (i.e. htc.com/support)

or

someone actually has it downloaded

... it's not _exactly_ rolling out yet
[Desire General] nickislauw:
GUYS, the 2.3 update for the desire Z was rolled out in the netherlands at FIRST!!

And htc didnt even said it was released! it just popped up on a dutch site!

So shut up because maybe its rolling out just in the netherlands first! like the Z update!!
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I got message on twitter about Desire Z getting GB right away, but now there is nothing about Desire bravo.

[Desire General] nickislauw:

[Desire General] k3lcior:
This is rolling process over the next few months?

Wtf. :eek:

Also please dont queue big pictures. :p
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
My thought exactly. Luckily, we have XDA! A rooted version of the update will appear soon enough I suppose?

Btw, the thing about Sense 2.1.. Awesome? (if true)

Yeah, I guess you can check for updates. I do not recommend installing the update this way though.
[Desire General] aaa:
I can not wait till the devs get their hands on the official update. :)

I wanna say thank you in advance to all the devs here for the rooted, modified and optimized version of the official ROM :)

[Desire General] pauliusba:
I almost got into this HTC trap again (ex-Hero-owner). Nooo, not gonna buy a Sensation!

I think it is a good idea to ask HTC if they are going to keep, for example, HTC Sensation updated with as many major updates as Google updates their at-the-time last (and technically comparable) device. No, not ask, make them promise it! Cuz Desire is easily comparable to Nexus One and what, do u guys really think Nexus One is not gonna get anything above 2.3.3?

Only then would I buy another HTC phone. Yes, they are indeed nice, Sense UI is slick, but their policy seems disrespectful, too disrespectful to buy anything from them again. Fast and regular updates is what people expect, when they own such hi-end devices. And now it's as if MACs would not get newer OS X unless u buy a newer MAC. I'm sure it's the very last Desire update we are going to get from them assholes.
[Desire General] Alex-V:
yes..but very easy with unrevoked :)

http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

and if you maked a backup..we need only the system and boot (kernel) all other things like data are your private things like apps etc..

edit: you are only rooted with unrevoked and have a custom recovery that allow backup..you not loose the rom or any other things

with kind regards..Alex

[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
Google is aware of this situation: http://yourmobilesite.net/new-android-devices-to-receive-updates-for-a-year-and-a-half/

And isn't it normal that this is the last update the Desire is getting? I mean, the next iteration of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, is probably a little bit too much. You also have to bear in mind that creating an update for a phone, takes a lot of time and money from HTC. If the phone isn't popular enough (= generates not enough of money), HTC deems the effort of creating an update, not worthy. It's basic math.

We're lucky that the Desire is one of the most popular phones HTC ever produced.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
