No its really not that hard... You don't understand..

It's the internet... Its not easy to figure out who posted what...

Unless they go deep, REAL DEEP... They wont figure out who you are.. When I say deep I mean, they look at your ip, then they go threw things that ip has been too, then they go for credit card account and such to see if they can get info..... And guess what? Sprint cant do that! :) Only the FBI.. Say I'm lieing? I don't know what I'm talking about? I had the FBI RAID my house because I was selling 1tb hard drives FULL of xbox 360 games.. Want to know how they got me? My pay pay account. I'm not lieing to you man, They cant figure out who you are easily, and they certainly cant figure it out legally. Your alright to tell the date... Its not like they dont expect people to leak.. Its going to happen.. :D
[Hero CDMA General] jonathaflores:
what you can do is take a picture with your phone, sent it to a friend phone, get that friend sent it to his email. sent it to engadget, lots of other websites would put it up as well, then they wont know, they wont spent too much time for a single pic!!
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
just do wat damage did. damage didnt work for sprint, he knew someone.

id laugh if all along thatguyfromsprint was the true ruu holder.
[Hero CDMA General] nighteyes_wolf:
That would actually be pretty epic hehe. I remember back my senior year in high school I worked at Officemax. Usually on Thursday, the store would receive the fliers for that coming Sunday. Our manager would only let me out of the other associates get a sneak peak since I was good about being tight lipped. SPECIALLY the official black Friday one. We had problems with other associates letting others know or yanking one and bring it home with them.

The other issue was that if it was a stupidly awesome deal on something that was on clearance some of them would find where they were in lockup and put it aside so they could get it. They let me do that once but I had asked nicely and it also helped that I was one of their best sales people at the time so I got minor benefits :P

Pardon the tangent but the reason of the story is that I can understand the fear of being pointed at for leaking information and the implications around it.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
HAHAHA I quit Office max the day before thanksgiving and we already had our black friday fliers - I took a handfull out of the front office and handed them out in the wal mart next door. It was awesome! Sooooo surprised I didn't get sued.
[Hero CDMA General] jcaliendo:
While I love this community and the custom ROMs, you have to realize the amount of testing that has to go into an official release. I've used probably 10 different ROMs, and have settled on Fresh 2.0d as it seems to be the least buggy (0 bugs, really. I think it's awesome) for me. But, any ROM thread you look at will have a mix of people loving it and people hating it because of bugs that seem to only pop up for some of us.

The average consumer is not willing and not capable of troubleshooting any kind of problem on their phone. I'm sure the majority of Hero owners aren't even aware of an update, and have no idea what they're missing. Ignorance is bliss... but maybe not in this case, because I think what we've got is probably better than the official release.
[Hero CDMA General] dre4402:
send me the info i got the tracer buster buster hooked up to my laptop so it cant be traced lol
[Hero CDMA General] dkdtaylor:
Wow, the 1st will come and go. We'll still be waiting for a update the day after.
[Hero CDMA General] celato:
We should just dub the official 2.1 release "Duke Nukem Forever"
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
LOL, 8 years to go before they give up and terminate the project!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Some people are still waiting on Duke Nukem Forever...
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
picture is being considered... this is not a statement of confirmation, it's a statement for possibility... don't be suprised if someone else posts the picture... you know what i'm getting at...

And, on the being fired for posting proprietary information on the internet.... Sprint's Fraud/Compliance Department is very thorough and capable... most people who post information that they see as proprietary are fired within 2 days, I've seen it happen all too much. Which helps to explain why, when i post this information, it's very much dumbed down and picked through to negate any such actions against me... it's not at all hard to get the IP of someone who is posting information, and track it back to the person who did the posting, while there are loopholes, I'd much rather be safe than sorry.

And many lols at the DN:F reference and receipt.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
again.......

i love these threads about 2.1, it just makes me realize how much sprint blows, no offense to any sprint empls. but i guess well see when it happens :D
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
So simple to use a hidemyass proxy and using a few other slick steps ;)
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
So how about you post on a different computer besides yours? Like at a library or school. And LOL @ Duke Nukem Forever.
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
How is it exactly that Sprint blows? Do they manufacture phones now? When did this start?

The delay is entirely HTC's fault. HTC hasn't even updated the original GSM Hero yet (which FYI isn't tied to any carrier).

Sprint is going to be the first carrier, ever, to upgrade a handset from a 1.X version of Android to 2.1. They will also be only the second carrier ever to upgrade ANY handset to 2.1 (and the Droid going from 2.0 to 2.1 almost doesn't even count).

In conclusion, you are an idiot.
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
as i said... there are loopholes :)
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
Was thinking the same thing myself.....absolutely no way to make a connection that way.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Many people died to bring this to XDA. Do what you will with the info. And shhh! Sorry for the quality.
[Hero CDMA General] Konikub:
Bhahaha....that's brilliant!!!!! Keep it secret...keep it safe! Love it, lol!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I thought we could use some humor today. I updated the date.
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
and many lols were had
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Thanks for the info. I was not making fun of you at all. I was making fun of everyone else that posted rumors. You seemed to know what you were talking about every time you posted. Thank you for that! :D
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
I appreciate the support, I didn't even think you were making fun of me, that picture is just funny

why would you qoute ME and then make a statement like that?

moron
[Hero CDMA General] infamousjax:
Why do I have a feeling this isn't going to happen... Apparently the latest release candidate that we know about for the Samsung Moment - DD16 - has some major issues but not sure about the Hero. As much as I hope this will be released, it's highly doubtful. However, I'll try and have some faith:)

[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Or you encode it in a message requesting assistance in modding your phone or some other help...just hide it in the message.

"I have this Sprint Hero that I'm trying to mod. A friend of mine is trying to put Eclair 2.1 on his phone, and he needs it for a project to be released. He needs it confirmed to be released on May 2. I'm new at this and would really appreciate some help."

Okay...maybe this isn't such a good idea...but it's an idea, nonetheless.
[Hero CDMA General] dhero1:
You either support ALL LWP, or you don't, get it? Else, how do you explain it to your customers? I'm afraid we won't get LWP in 2.1 for the Hero - the Hero is too (relatively) underpowered ...
[Hero CDMA General] dhero1:
Damage?! I mean, thanks for the leak and all, but you obviously have not been following the break through's that other's have been responsible for ...

Evo release date?

i would love to hear what you have to say about the actual release date of the evo
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
edit:

i dont want to get banned again :-)

go to phandroid with your bs dhero
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
no LWP support natively on the Hero (and moment) 2.1 update unfortunately

proprietary information that i can't share, but the info is an estimated date on Sprint's behalf.

[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
LWPs are useless anyways. No big loss, imo.
[Hero CDMA General] dre4402:
i think im gonna wait for the official release to get tweaked b4 i ugrade to 2.1 they already working on 2.2 for one of the devices
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Seems silly to stick with 1.5 just because they are working on 2.2.... you can always keep updating as things get tweaked/fixed but, IMO, even an imperfect 2.1 is better than 1.5.
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
just caught this post, didn't notice it before... but wow... i'll not deny or confirm this date... but it's ballpark worthy
[Hero CDMA General] zcarman:
Isn't this today? Sprint.com is still showing CL14 after Midnight eastern...?
[Hero CDMA General] thacounty:
I don't post here much but just wanted to post and say that unless you have a breakthrough you probably shouldn't talk about anyone else's roms. This is a great post to discourage a developer and we all end up with fewer options. Yes, there are good devs for the Hero, Damage is one of them. His roms are good. So are others'.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
He also comments on his rom thread every so often.. Damage said he has been really busy lately but is working on a update that will hopefully come out friday(today) and then he and treve have teamed up from now on, on the rom.
[Hero CDMA General] whiteonline:
Didn't Hesse state there won't be an extra fee for 4G over 3G plans?

flipz has always been extremely quick getting us a rom!

everyone has their fav devs... ;)
[Hero CDMA General] dhero1:
agreed - and apologies if anyones sensibilities were bruised. I have no issue with Damage or any other dev and I appreciate all of your contributions. My error was in overreacting in a negative way to a fanboy statement ...
[Hero CDMA General] zswilkinson:
moment

Still nothing for the moment...
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
HAHA I have a "Page Change Notification" setup on both the Moment and the Hero downloads pages so when they get changed I get an email. Nice to having to monitor it my self.

EDIT:

In all honesty I could really careless about the software they released. Once this is released publicly, it is a commitment to put out the Kernel Source. We may have to hound them about it like we did for the last source, but it will be worth it to have an OC'd 2.1.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
still nothing on my wifes moment
[Hero CDMA General] CarbonKang:
are you 100% sure its today? Still no update..

mountaindont = attention whore lol
[Hero CDMA General] macvalentine:
so i didnt want to read through all the posts

and since i have fresh 2.0d i was wonderin if tryin to get 2.1 is a bad idea

or what?
[Hero CDMA General] daryelv:
Am I a senior because of my posts or because I've been on here for so long? Or is it my age (I feel much older than some of the youngin devs)?
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
being senior doesn't matter, nor does post count, nor does the time you've had your account. Each person, no matter how helpful or senior or whatever can make the dumbassest comments from time to time. Some people spit hate, some people make up words, some make claims that to try and validate their presence to be more welcomed than others.

I really think each comment or question holds it's own weight and a person will build a rep for themselves within the community, none of the aforementioned "achievements" really matter in the end.

Someone took my legitimate and worthy advice as random trollism the other day just because I disagreed with him and how I presented it, true I was a **** but it was correct, but just to show you, none of that crap matters. If people really want to be the most helpful mr helpy helperson they should implement a "+1 thanks" system, with no -1 rep, that type of system just fails.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Ok I'm gonna be an ass but really...go HERE

And pay special attention the the 4th paragraph from the bottom.

Namely:

But to answer your question, I would not update b/c there's a good possibility rooting will be patched with the update, at least temporarily.

Just wait for the Dev's here to put out newer, upgraded version's of their Roms with what Sprint releases.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Wonder what my rep around here is......ok I don't want to hear a word about it.

[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
Here's something for all of you... i had to edit all out the sensitive material, but the picture should show you the source for the information... there was more to the document, but it's proprietary and i couldn't share it, you can see the dates, and the method of distrobution here.

There was a lot of announcements at work today about site updates throughout the day, should be included in one of those updates...

I'll be posting a link as soon as it hits the site.

When the Hero MR hit, there was no sure word of a time that it was coming. I believe it hit around 8:00 at night or something like that.

Update will ber through comp not OTA

Well uhh... it's 8:10PM EST :P

well it was fun to hope this might have been real. now, to try that unofficial moment leak on my wife's phone.

you do realize that e-mail states that the moment gets it first then the Hero the first week of May, so there's still a bit of waiting to do
[Hero CDMA General] koricua74:
The email says "The Samsung Moment 2.1 Eclair Maintenance Release is scheduled for next Friday, April 30, and the HTC Hero is scheduled for the first week of May."

**EDIT**

After posting this I realized you meant that we had a ways to wait for the Hero update.
[Hero CDMA General] jcf304:
Hmm so its 10 PM Est. Spoke with a sprint tech today and they gave the same response. they have no ETA on the release for Moment or Hero. Trying so hard to keep an open mind here. Just waiting for someone to explain away why its not here today. Maybe it was meant for the weekend ? or Maybe the beginning next week ? On the bright side ....had it not been for this site and the work put in here to give us what's been delayed, I would be running from site to site chasing ghosts with the best of them ;-)
[Hero CDMA General] wimbet:
The support page for the Samsung Moment was just updated. I don't see a link to the new software though.

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...=MU:MU:20090620:CheckForSoftwareUpdates:RDIWT
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
Granted, but by seeing the Moment update released today would help to ensure that the Hero update would shortly follow... at least, that's my view...

nice grab, maybe setting it up then...
[Hero CDMA General] infamousjax:
If they really update it this late tonight it will literally blow my mind
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
their probably setting it up late this evening, to replace saturday morning cartoons with rom updating.

i wonder if sprint watches us and makes us wait out of spite. wat would surprise you more?
[Hero CDMA General] infamousjax:
Well you gotta take into consideration also that it's Sprint. They will wait til the absolute LAST SECOND to meet a deadline; or at least they usually do. Now that I think about, I wouldn't be surprised if they updated their website at 11:59PM. Assholes.
[Hero CDMA General] jcf304:
Wow, this is like a mega tease. It takes you right to the edge, closer closer ...oh ..but wait ..maybe maybe....:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] infamousjax:
Exactly.. Sprint's giving me a majorly bad case of blueballs.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
What does the Moment update have to do with us?
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
lmao! ive taken.EVERYTHING into consideration. ive come to the conclusion their holding out on us. their upset about the leak, their upset we beat them to the punch BEFORE the leak...their spiteful bastards, sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] zswilkinson:
at least two of our wives have one
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
evidence thatguys info is correct.
[Hero CDMA General] infamousjax:
Well, for one, I have a Moment. But if the dates right about the Moment - chances are the Hero update will be right on time next week, too.
[Hero CDMA General] Genjinaro:
Ditto........
[Hero CDMA General] zswilkinson:
that's important too i guess
[Hero CDMA General] jonathaflores:
i think sprint wont release it today, they would do it tomorrow, like they say earlier they are reading this, and are laughing on their a$$:D
[Hero CDMA General] Outcome:
April 30th and the week of May 1st?

April 30th is in the same week as May 1st....

If April 30th is deemed "week 1"

April 30th = today = Friday = Week 1

May 1st = tomorrow = Saturday = Week 1

May 2nd = 2 days from now = Sunday = Week 2

So your description from Sprint is contradicting itself... "Release dates: Moment - April 30; Hero - Week of May 1"
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
Well, here it is, May 1st and no update. After all the big talk and posturing and claiming he has "the info" it turns out he doesn't. His info is no more credible than the 14 billion other claims of knowing when it was going to be released.

I was hoping and praying I wouldn't be writing this, but low and behold.......................Just more proof not to beleive anything until you actually see it...........
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i really dont think we can go about blaiming him. i think its safe to assume he truthfully works for sprint, i think its sprint we should blame. he was only passing the information he was given along.

im not upset, perfectly happy with my 2.1 rom.

oh, and if your reading this sprint, imagine me holding my middle finger up to you right now.

wait, ill do you one better

yes, thats jesus sprint. jesus hates you.
[Hero CDMA General] jonathaflores:
lolz. , cmon guys, tomorrow when we all wake up, the moment 2.1 update would be release,

ps. not even may 1 in kansas!!
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
Exactly. Chfields must think the whole country is in just one time zone.
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
When did Sprint start making phones? How is this their fault exactly?
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
They are the ones that actually release the update.

No one is for sure if this is sprints fault. But there could still be the chance.

[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Even if sprint officially sets the release day. They still dont always do it that day or sometimes not even till later that night. The OP of this thread might of had the officially release day correct, and then sprint changed there minds at the last sec and will push it out the next day or day after that.

Say if the date was correct from the OP, they might of had problems with the method of getting the rom out. Like problems with the website, im sure 100+ people with be downloading at the same time for at least couple hours. There is more problems that could happen, other then the rom not being ready.
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
Hey sprint device support website is down u never now ...update might be coming...................just keeping hope up:d
[Hero CDMA General] Fixter:
No its not.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
That is the whole point, the OP put this info out as fact and made a big deal out of the fact that he works for Sprint and his word was THE word. Well, turns out he has egg on his face now and while it may not be his fault the update wasn't released when he said it would be, he loses all credibility. I live by the credo, don't make promises you can't keep.
