What do you think will happen with the hotspot on the Evo's 2.2 seeing 2.2 offers hotspot for free (at least on the official version for the nexus one) if its offerd to us with our update, thatll screw Sprint over with their hotspot service for $30 a month. Do you think Sprint wont onclude that feature in the 2.2
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
Sprint will disable it and force you to use their paid Hotspot option for tethering. Wireless Tether should still work though.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Wow, I should use you to predict the weather or the stock market or some **** that requires psychic powers:cool:. Seriously though, no one really knows how long it's going to take because no one has ever made a rooted 2.2 ota froyo rom before.....it hasn't been released yet.

So, before anyone gets there hopes up and EXPECTS/DEMANDS a rooted rom "minutes" after release, take a breather, realize that what you have now is pretty awesome, and that if you REAAALLY want froyo, use cm6, and if you REAAAALLY want froyo+sense, use the evio series rom that has sense included.
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
Uhhh, there's no prediction going on here. Many people here have been through this process before and it always works the same. It's just a matter of extracting the needed files and creating an update.zip. Something that anyone here could do with no development knowledge needed.

Edit: Radios and all that will likely be flashed separately.
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
merged 2 more making it a total of 14 threads in one day on the exact same subject. anyhow just merged 2 more into this one again.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Meh, we'll see tomorrow I guess. But nevertheless, official froyo+sense(+root) will be a nice gift. Only thing is, after this is released, what will people complain and whine about not having next?
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
Yeah I'm not making promises, as something could be done differently this time (though probably not likely). It will be interesting to use Sense again though. I still prefer CM6 and vanilla Android, but Sense is much more tolerable on the Evo than it ever was on my Hero.
[EVO 4G General] psychopsilocin:
Gingerbread! We are on a 4+ inch screen, right???
[EVO 4G General] Fyahstarter:
I, like a lot of people are going to download the OTA. I'm most likely going to lose root, but I'm almost positive that one of the devs will break the 2.2 and get access to root again within a relatively short timespan. You've got to remember that devs do what they do as a labor of love and rarely enjoy feeling that someone has one upped them (Stock ROMS). Soooo...root will come, root will go. I, for one, enjoy Sense. I do enjoy the Fresh ROM of Sense better than stock, but I'll give the Froyo stock a go and wait out root access until that time comes around and then check the next batch of what our wonderful devs have to offer!

[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
the last OTA was rooted for use as a rom within hours. It was 2ish weeks i believe to find a root method for those with the update applied though.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Yup. Especially women.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
This is good news

Android 2.2 is a HUGE improvement over 2.1
[EVO 4G General] Mad06STi:
Well, he's got a pretty good educated guess going there.

People who ALREADY have root most likely have the HBOOT and recovery partitions that make getting a froyo+sense+root image on their phones easy. The "hard" part isn't figuring out how to get root into the image. The hard part is figuring out how to gain root on a phone that's stock (and locked down) so that new images can be put on.

The rooting procedure for 1.32 and 1.47 is already known. It is NOT known for new official 2.2 releases. HTC most definitely plugged up the original exploits and a new one has to be found, and that most definitely will take longer than just cooking up the rom.

I'm with PikkonX on this. You're better off rooting your 1.32/1.47 phones and waiting significantly less time for a prerooted official froyo rom than you are taking the OTA, locking your phone down, and waiting for a clever dev to locate an exploit. Finding the exploit is the unknown here.
[EVO 4G General] kamiller42:
You're having a busy day doing needless work. It's a shame some people can't control themselves and simply use existing threads. I guess they believe their thoughts are so profound that they must start a new thread for all to see.

In other news, some people ask what's the big deal when you have a choice of Froyo ROMs today. Simple: I want Froyo + Sense + All devices and features working. Got ROM?
[EVO 4G General] dallashigh:
LMFAO @ all the wankers who said not to expect it soon. Hope that crow tastes good!
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Awesome news. I also would like to find the couple of people on here who stated a short while after launch that they knew this update would be released in late July/Early august, so I can remember who they are and listen to them when they have anything to say. :p

This thread was supposed to be a moved thread titled "Will the 2.2 update fix the fps issue". So now two different ones point to the same thread.
[EVO 4G General] jackpearce:
I am stock 2.1. I wonder if I should uninstall pdanet before the update?
[EVO 4G General] Ryoma Echizen:
Evo's should be getting 2.2, I might be wrong, but didn't Sprint confirm this too? I'm not sure, so don't blame me if froyo isn't supported. I think there's a post on the Sprint website that confirms this, but take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt. Sadly, Sprint said via twitter that the hero and moment won't be receiving 2.2, due to some undisclosed reason. (Probably due to the fact that these devices were android test subjects for Sprint, to see if android would sell on their network. There's also the availability of the recently released 2.1, or most likely, to make more money off of customers by enticing them to buy a new android device. Perhaps it's to avoid having to listen to users whining about rumors and complaining that Sprint is not keeping their word on updates. However, don't forget that this promise was made by a gossipy website that probably Photoshopped post on the Sprint website, skillfully altered by a blog that wants to pull on customers impatience to get hits on their websites. Nothing against that kind of marketing, but a lot of customers of Sprint need to use a little more discretion, and take things with a grain of salt.)
[EVO 4G General] jeffeulogy:
The opposite for me, I lost a lot of 3g speed coming from T-Mobile. Sprints coverage is light years better though
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Sprint is going to be sending out the update in the next week. They confirmed it a few hours after the leak went viral. 2.2 should start rolling out manually by the 1st, (possibly tomorrow), and includes a bunch of enhancements and fixes to Sense as well as all the great Froyo stuff.

[EVO 4G General] vegeta_one:
For those who just can't wait to get Android 2.2, there will be an easy user initiated option to download the upgrade. Customers can access the software update through their HTC EVO 4G under the Settings Menu, System Updates, HTC Software Update. This will initiate the three-step process also. Starts at 12 p.m.

Sprint Confirms Froyo for our EVO's starting this Tuesday!

Didn't see this posted here yet, just that engadget post a few times.

It seems that Sprint is saying that by Tuesday, will see Froyo on our EVOs. ;)

Here, here, here. :)

It's also posted on Sprint's Facebook Page.

I can't wait for it to be rooted and safe to install. I actually think the stock rom has better battery life then Fresh does. So I'm looking forward to getting this on my evo. :D

Thanks, I know, but you'd think that people would be interested in something that's actually factual and laget from Sprint on website/facebook page, not some apple loving blog.
[EVO 4G General] Josh H.:
My WiFi-tethering thread was apparently incorporated into this one, so I'll share some thoughts here about the issue:

We know Sprint is making 4G tethering more difficult to achieve w/o paying the $30 fee (MAC address checking of some sort),

however

they apparently aren't doing anything to 3G tethering,

and

whatever they are doing to 4G tethering doesn't seem like it will be that hard to "fix" (read: break) with custom ROMs/rooting.

So, here is my prediction: 3G tethering (built into froyo) will become free. Sprint is adding the extra 4G MAC address protection to make you pay the $30 if you want 4G tethering.

Makes sense to me, but at the same time, seems a little too good to be true. Thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] dwss:
It seems we can start getting the update tomorrow for a preview or am i reading this wrong?

[EVO 4G General] eeeeeeeeek:
I talked with somone at sprint and the the 19.99 and 10.00 extra charge was mandatory to buy the evo. Was I misinformed?
[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
so, i'm not very good with all this rooting crap, but just so i could get a few apps working(wireless tether), i used unrevoked 3, and as far as i know, you can't really use any of the good roms with it. Anyways, i could care less about rom's, i just want to be able to use apps like wireless tether(oh well if the update breaks it), or shootme(i take a lot of screenshots :X), how does this affect me? I mean, what do i do if i update and can't root again, but at the same time can't use a 2.2 rom because i have the lazy mans root method? Any insight would be great, all this has me fairly worried :(.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
Dont give up! I would rather have a source solution to wimax than having to work around a binary driver for a specific kernel. Every little bit of knowledge we gain about its interface helps. Who knows when HTC will get around to releasing this source as Im sure Wimax w/2.2 will be a competitive advantage for them over the EPIC.
[EVO 4G General] Bukem75:
Extremely concerned about the wifi hotspot SOC. One of Google's main highlights from their 2010 dev conference was every 2.2 Android device being able to wireless tether without root. As much as I was looking forward to a rom based off the official Evo 2.2, I am not touching it until wireless 3/4G tether added back in.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
Hopefully i don't have to do the update, and i can just flash a 2.2 rom from one of the developers.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
The list of features doesn't mention anything about fixing the FPS cap, that's not encouraging.
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
The $10.00 is, but I've never heard of a $19.00 charge of any kind that was directly related to the Evo. There is the $30.00 charge if you want official tethering, but that's it.
[EVO 4G General] splink7007:
Has anyone tried a manual update yet? This is for non-root users, I wouldnt expect a root user to be so foolish;)
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
99% sure unrevoked won't work on the new ROM. Either man up and use simpleroot (it really IS simple) or lose your quasi-root for FroYo
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I've checked for updates - nothing yet.

Is there a setting to prevent 2.2 update?

Is there a setting to prevent the FroYo 2.2 update from downloading/installing automatically or is the only option to decline it when you get a notification that it is available?
[EVO 4G General] MadHatter01:
Im being hopeful....lol
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
It was already almost perfect on the Nexus One, and it has been released on AOSP. I'm pretty sure Froyo is done.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Hmmm, interesting how they left the free tether and wireless hotspot features that are natively supported by froyo out of that article. Wonder if sense will not "support" 2.2's tether and hotspot making stock users resort to sprint's 30$ ripoff....
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
How is 30 dollars a rip off? Its unlimited 4G AND 3G data for 30 bucks a month... that's cheaper than Clearwire charges just for 4G.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Because we're already paying for the internet. Why should they be able to tell us how to use it?
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
No, im not comparing the plans for unlimited data, but for the wireless tether and hotspot option. We pay 29.99 for the mobile hotspot feature currently, while the nexus one does this same feature for free as it's built into 2.2. I'm wondering whether or not this same stock feature of froyo is going to be removed by sprint to keep us paying for it.

[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Yea HTC being prickish I think it pisses them off that the devs here usually get better more stable builds out wayy before then hint why they have yet to release source they know the dev community on the evo is epic so I think they may actually get this out pretty soon just to keep from constantly being one uped by our amazing devs

[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
I would imagine that all the phones with hardware similar to the Nexus One (will be the first since they are mainly about porting Sense and setting up any network tweaks. A phone with non-standard hardware (Wimax, front camera, FM radio, etc.) may require more work for HTC to port to the new OS.

If you have the setting unchecked that is to check for updates automatically you should be fine, AFAIK.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
You'll get a notification if your phone is set to automatically check for software updates. It won't automatically update. And even if you do accept the notification, I believe it will just download and then ask you again to actually execute the upgrade. When I was tired of declining the 1.47 update over and over, I turned off the scheduled check in Settings - Software Update, personally. You can still do manual checks if you want an OTA.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
Officialy update notification begin August 3, before that will begin today 30 July Manually (optional) . Its a option you can take off the notification -->> Setting - Sytem Update- Htc Software update - Then take off the chekmark (scheduled check). your done!!! Unless you do manually
[EVO 4G General] TambourineMan:
Yes, I unchecked the check for HTC software update, but there is another setting for a check for firmware update. There is no option to turn that on or off. Isn't Froyo 2.2 a firmware as well as a software update?
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
If your rooted I don't think you have anything to worry about. The last update wouldn't install on rooted devices. If your not rooted then who cares let it update.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
As soon you uncheck sheduled check, the rest will be manually (firmware, update profile, PRL, ) Not worry
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
LOL, Wow I guess we REALLY want this upgrade real bad huh.. Haaaaa

But for me, I think i'll wait a bit longer for the Dev's to get a-hold of the Stock release and do their magic... You know ROOT it up, and add their own enhancements and jazz like that :D
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
lol and some chars :D
[EVO 4G General] enormous:
...unless you plan on rooting in the immediate future! In that case you should NOT let it do the over-the-air update, and instead root your phone using currently available means.

[EVO 4G General] TambourineMan:
That it exactly. I am not rooted. The official Froyo 2.2 features don't mean that much to me. But while I would like the Cyanogen one, I am holding off until they fix 4G and implement unrestricted HDMI. I don't care that much about the other things that are not working in Cyanogen. I know they are working on these and don't want to be prevented from going with it once they are resolved.
