ah yes the old htc team shirt/ cap combo and booze, not the first time its been donned and downed in vain and it wont be the last
[Desire General] gogol:
Hahahaha ... you have made my day :D

Yeah, that Mark dude must be kicked in the butt :P
[Desire General] bakedecake:
I can't stop laughing at this, good one. :D
[Desire General] LubbertKramer:
Calling with HTC NL to ask about it, i did my story and now he is asking it, im hearing a terrible music at the moment, hope the answer will be good news....
[Desire General] istreen:
it's fake news ? no update today ?
[Desire General] LubbertKramer:
NO FROYO TODAY!

I called with dutch HTC and they told me that there has been an email send around that the news of a froyo release today is not right, the release will be soon because froyo is in a final testing stage, release will come soon, but not today..

Nederlands:

Even met HTC NL gebeld, aangezien ze niet reageren op twitter en facebook. Ook onze vriend Mark reageert niet op berichten, en zij hadden het volgende te zeggen:

Situatie was nieuw voor de persoon, hij wilde daarom eerst maar even mijn nummer noteren en hoorde mijn verhaal aan over twitter van HTC_NL en Mark Moons, en dat Duitsland nu zegt dat Froyo nog niet klaar is voor release. Hij moest het even navragen. Na enige tijd wat leuke muziek gehoord te hebben, kwam het volgende antwoord: Er is een mail rond gestuurd dat het niet klopt dat Froyo vandaag komt, Froyo is in final stage, kan wel een dezer dagen binnenkomen, hij kan niet zeggen wanneer en hoe of wat....Froyo is in final testing!
[Desire General] well0549:
is there an update on the 'No update item yet ?'

I think mister moons should be very ashamed of himself. A lot of people took a day off and are sittn and waitn with their phone in front of them, all the HTC gadgeds around. Probably some old HTC phones on the side (for melancholic reasons) champaign on ice...

And what do all those people get ?

NOTHING....

Not to mention the people who were overenthousiastic and already tweeted an invite to their friends to come and have a drink tonite on the 'Desire Froyo Launch Party' at their homes.

Soooo many people are disappointed because he made a MISTAKE... Yes let's just call it that. A MISTAKE.....

Well the dutch leader of the HTC pack may have a send a bad signal to the community but that's still better than having no signal at all (yes iPhone Flame)....
[Desire General] ticalo:
LOL??

Dude, its only an update. Party and stuff?
[Desire General] theboylogan:
I don't like to flame, but man... some of the people on here make me laugh soooooo much.

I want 2.2 as much as the next guy. Actually that's a joke - there are a whole load of other things in life that are more important to me than frozen yoghurt.
[Desire General] tonyfromparis:
I agree... That's not the end of the world ! If you want a 2.2 Rom right now, there're plenty ones here !

The only one who's goin to have a VERY BAD day is Mark Moons ;-)

Poor him !
[Desire General] spritable:
Damn, what I will do with all the beer I've bought for the tonight Desire Froyo party. I want my money back! Do you hear that, Mark dude or whatever your name is.

PS. @well0549 don't worry man, if the update is out today, I will invite you to my party. It will probably suck if there is no beer.
[Desire General] kristovaher:
Oh gawds damnit. They won't let me return my android themed cake because I have already eaten a slice. Dutch keep failing me. My cake from World Cup finals also tasted bitter, in that they got beaten up in the finals.

Dutch!
[Desire General] Tomaco:
I just dont get it, they want to release "final stable Froyo" so they will keep working... BUT, today HTC released HTC Desire with Froyo in China.. so their version is bugged? or is it something about their writing system? China signs Froyo works, normal letters Froyo doesnt?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
OK, update will be tomorrow. Tomorrow just read my post again... one day my post will not be true :)
[Desire General] Flaggie:
I'm sorry, but if this is truly the case would they then not have called Mark and said hey dude, can you please rectify your statement on twitter and at the very least put it up on the htc_nl twitter. (just trying to keep the hope alive)
[Desire General] pickie:
I've warn my check for updates button out :p
[Desire General] LubbertKramer:
i thought so, but wouldnt HTC NL tweet about the process that they are sending out 2.2, not a tweet like the first Desire's have got there 2.2, i think thats positive news for HTC and for the marketing, but i also dont see that kinds of tweets, also do they dont respond on Facebook and twitter, its radio silence, silence before the storm, like D-Day?
[Desire General] onlynik:
They will have put their latest version of Froyo on it. It may ship that way, but the end user won't get those phones for 3-4 weeks. I bought a desire last week and the build date was March IIRC (was on the box) then once the end user get the phone it will update over the air with any ammendments.

Or I could be really worng.
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
Don't be stupid. How would that help?
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
What is the point of this post? :mad:
[Desire General] well0549:
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

We dutch people are held back by HTC...... The chinese already have froyo on Desire

See here : http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/htc-will-ship-all-android-phones-in-china-with-froyo-on-board-f/
[Desire General] lordjester:
We will be lucky to see froyo before Xmas..! Let's be honest here.. it took them over 5 days just to sort out that simple Facebook contacts bug... How long to do a complete OS ..????
[Desire General] andQlimax:
are just some words on a website..dont mean is true..

i think in china they thinking: hey in dutch they already getting froyo..
[Desire General] lanceos:
just announced,end user wont get those phone in 3~4 weeks imo.

and this is first time HTC sell their phones in China officially
[Desire General] kmetek:
Is it me or get Samsung consumers more support than ****ing HTC?
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Oh noes!.. on a more positive note (for me, not for you). I won't be missing the update while the phone is out for repair! :D

But let's wait and see what happens.
[Desire General] Vesafani:
I hardly see a leaked unfinished Froyo rom as a better support.
[Desire General] kmetek:
At least they update firmware etc.
[Desire General] Laban:
:rolleyes:

Comon guys! They are close to getting this out, is it really the end of the world if we have to wait for another day or two or maybe a week? There is a leaked ROM out there already and we do have indications that the ROM will be released pretty soon.

I really want the update now just like the rest of you, but it's not like it's going to change my life...
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
When we can expect Android 3.0 Gingerbread? :)
[Desire General] dutchdude23:
How u mean?

Do we already have official 2.2 then?
[Desire General] ticalo:
I dont care about froyo or gingerbread. Im waiting for milkshake 4.0.
[Desire General] spritable:
I don't mind having my Desire in Chinese. I've watched a lot of karate movies in the past and I'm good to go...
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Or something after 4.0 :D
[Desire General] Bartkevin:
yeah because M comes right after G.. like caconical is doing with ubuntu, Google is doing with android, each release name has a different starting letter in alfabetical order lol

so 4.0 should be starting with an H
[Desire General] well0549:
Mark Moons is the Steve Jobs of the Android world.

Instead of you're holding it wrong (yes iPhone flame), you are not reading it right.

( for sure he means that tomorrow is 'corperate business language' for 'in the foreseeable future' )

So that is what he was trying to say, in good old english this translates to :

There will be an update in the future.
[Desire General] aaargh777:
So Froyo is 6.0?
[Desire General] zipr0:
no they don't. They have yet to release an upgrade. So far, there are only leaked beta versions around that'll potentially void your warranty. For this reason, my butt slow Galaxy is sitting in a drawer, waiting for an update :-( I'm just glad I didn't sell my Desire for it (which was the original plan).
[Desire General] jjplayground:
Just wait and be an adult not a child :)

Or wait until it comes or root your device.
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
Me too! And I can order Chinese take away food flawlessly, so bring it on :D The wait is over finally! 我现在想要我的冰冻酸奶酪 (I want my frozen yoghurt now!)
[Desire General] charon72:
Dont worry. it wil be here Soon...

http://www.wowwiki.com/Soon

Or Maybe HTC is running on Valve-Time..

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time
[Desire General] fallos:
:D nice! :D :D
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
Good greef, this must be the largets thread who's all about Desire in the freakin' world. And noone got the todays update :D Honest to God I think this is a prank.

Meanwhile, don't forget buy this T-Shirt while U wait:

If U didn't noticed, the pic is representating a green, Godzilla-Andy versus Mr. Jobs and his army. And it looks that our green monster Andy is having the sittuation under control pretty well :)
[Desire General] badgerarc:
Received this DM from T Mobile UK Support on twitter this afternoon:

TmobileUKhelp: Hi There You can expect some frozen yogurt during September.I believe HTC are sending out a limited number today (approx 500) for testing :)

Just to add flame to the fire :p
[Desire General] vukis:
What are yout sources? Help by phone? Have recording?
[Desire General] cgorki:
what is this thread about anyways?
[Desire General] Shuze:
Whats Froyo?
[Desire General] Billy.:
seriously whats the big deal in waiting another week or even a month, yeah it would be nice for the update to come out so everyone can have a go at making the best rom etc... but we already have some seriously decent stable roms with the only downfall, of silly little things like OH NOES, NO WALLPAPER!!! chances are htc's official wont even compare to the work of XDA, sorry for the little rant, i just get bored inbetween my "CHECKING FOR F**KING UPDATES" COME ON 2.2 XD
[Desire General] martinpelant:
But u have to wipe your data if u want to root the Desire. or am I wrong? I dont wzant to wipe all the apps and settings so thats why I am waiting for offic update.zip
[Desire General] Billy.:
its bascally the newest firmware from htc with lots of updates kinda like what ios4 is to apple except better :P, also people might get a wee bit pi*sed off with questions like that when there is so much info on it everywhere ;)

google is your best friend ;) :D:D:p
[Desire General] Billy.:
i will admit i do like installing a fresh os and installing everything from scracth but apps like titanium backup (very good for backing up apps) and my backup pro are the answers i mean with my backup pro it can pretty much put your phone exactly to how u had it :D, also having your phone rooted opens so many doors but if ur not rele the tinkering sort like u say theres no point :)
[Desire General] Kameo:
Damn... i thought that when i'll be back home you guys could have told me that it's finally there.

But it looks like it's not yet released :sad:
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Well I don't have a complete problem with waiting another week. But what i do have a problem with is being lied to. Because if someone high up in the company and the company themselve tell you it is going to be there tomorrow, it has to be there. Especially when they don't post something the next day along the lines of sorry we have to delay the roll-out because we are not ready yet.

Sent from my laptop using the internet

Edit: just noticed on the dutch htc website that it no longer states the 720p video capturing, however on the uk website it still says so
[Desire General] peewster:

[Desire General] martinpelant:
But for using Titanium backup u have to have root access and as far as I know the rooting procedure requiers u tu wipe your data. So the problem is still there - I dont want to wipe my data.
[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
Regardless of how high someone is in HTC, I wouldn't hold them to their word. There most probably isn't going to be a set date that 2.2 rolls out, I would put money that it will be so random it will just pop up on our phones and we will all just be like 'oh.. finally' lol. HTC are only good for one thing, and thats MAKING phones, the rest they seem to slack with unfortunately..
[Desire General] Tenhi:
Haha, nice shirt :)! Where did u get it?
[Desire General] bugail:
I've been following this thread all day. Doesn't look like we'll be getting our froyo anytime soon. I think it's going to be herogate all over again.
[Desire General] pbu50w:
Must be coming soon... Read this from Engadget

w w w .engadget.com/2010/07/29/htc-will-ship-all-android-phones-in-china-with-froyo-on-board-f/

And the desire spec from HTC China

w w w .htc.com/cn/product/desire/specification.html
[Desire General] Aitese:
I rooted using UnrEVOked and it did not wipe any data from my phone. Don't give false advice.
[Desire General] fimae:
Very good indeed, tell me about it. They managed to put like almost 100Mb free mem on phone that apps cannot be installed on sd card. Smart thinking, its like ferrari with 5l tank, "no sir, you cannot fix it, but rumours are that it will be fixed, but we cannot give you a day when its gonna happened". Im very confused why this does not seems to bother anyone else? Perhaps htc or android have still hype status or something?
[Desire General] lordjester:
500 for testing !! Now that is a joke.. I bet its random phones as well...! Surely they would be better off asking for 500 beta testers..? Then the people that really know what they are doing with the OS can report the bugs straight back to a special update team...? My missus has got a wildfire and wouldn't have clue if the phone software had a bug or not....! ! ?
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
Well, it seems that Samsung Galaxy S will have it first. That korean-dude talks very,

VERY

poor english. God damn, why can't Samsung-employees speak good english?? :confused:

Kind of weird that Mr. Moose, no sorry, Mr. MOON from Dutchland gave that Twitter-message, don't U think? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] dmpwd:
ROFL!

[Desire General] sorch:
Also, the Desire car holder is due out on the 21st August (it's on Expansys - can't post links)

It needs 2.2 to work properly, since that has the Car Panel built in. So I'd say it would be well before then.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Karate is a Japanese martial art, so that's not going to help you much! :)

Should've watched more Kung Fu (gōngfu) movies!

[Desire General] EroThraX:
Froyo for the Evo over in America is also supposed starting to roll out tomorrow if everything goes to plan, don't make us wait any longer HTC.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/evo-4gs-android-2-2-update-starts-trickling-out-tomorrow-loads/
[Desire General] Tomaco:
Maybe EVO's and Desire's Froyo will be released at the same time (tomorrow)...

and yes iam totally desperate
[Desire General] kristovaher:
If HTC continues like this, they will never have to worry about becoming Apple, who ended up in the media for a silly design mistake on their phone antenna. HTC keeps surprising us, each announcement and rumour crumbling our hopes and dreams so devastatingly that even if they screw up an antenna, we won't really care :P

I mean, multi-touch is already screwed, and you cannot see anything during daylight, but hey, at least we will get 2.2 within the next 12 months!
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
Multi touch is screwed? Mine is perfect.
[Desire General] kristovaher:
I mean the classic circle-motion thing that also plagued Nexus One. Seen also here:

youtube.com/watch?v=5MLUmJL_Px0&feature=related

There are apps for testing that.
[Desire General] Storbank78:
But at least we get a signal no matter how we hold our phones, so there is an up side after all :o)
[Desire General] Dexil:
Yep and you could have known those problems existed before you bought the phone.
[Desire General] kristovaher:
Oh yes!

It will be tough to beat the signal problem of an iPhone, because what makes it extra sweet is that it was designed that way. One of those bells and whistles gone wrong.

But at least they got a free phone-condom out of it.
[Desire General] kristovaher:
I did know and I love the phone, I don't need everything to be perfect with the things I love, don't be so defensive :)
[Desire General] wahur1:
Damn.....I'm following this thread since yesterday and going in circles lol..and still the freakin froyo isn't out yet. :p

can't waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
[Desire General] Sapphire008:
HTC evo gets the 2.2 update tomorrow :'-(
[Desire General] HUNTheDon:
Dunno why isnt it good news... if evo gets it, obviously desire and legend will as well imho, at a max difference of 2-3 days.
[Desire General] Sapphire008:
But desire was the fruit one in list let see how long we have to wait
[Desire General] rob81h:
Yea and in another couple of hours the desire would of had it since yesterday!!!:p
[Desire General] Tomaco:
it was yesterday because they have +2 timezone, so 9 minutes ago
[Desire General] Flaggie:
To be precise we actually are in the +1 timezone, however we have summer time (daylight saving time) which leads to +2

On topic, damn you mark moons.

And I declare shenanigans!
[Desire General] jisin:
Can't wait anymore...

I have Desire 2.1 cant wait for 2.2 anymore.

Got Europe? Swiss? edition...
[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
The EVO is Sprint and HTC USA though.. So a whole team is probably dedicated JUST to that phone over there. Whereas in Europe, HTC need to do probably do a lot more, plus the massive numbers of providers that use HTC phones over here. I am not surprised that the EVO is getting 2.2 first, at all lol.. In fact it makes sense that it is, what else do they have to work on? I wouldn't get excited thinking because the EVO is getting 2.2 soon, that the Desire is going to get it soon as well... It just doesn't work that way, especially in HTC's world guys.. :)
[Desire General] paprkut:
Wow. That director must be embarrased. Either they lied to him or something happened to delay it. I'm doubting he would talk s''t knowlingly.
[Desire General] chichoko:
Shenanigans too i say! Darn you Moons guy! You made me think of that 720p video recording for the whole day.. i even forgot to feed my dog...and my wife... >.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
There is not much work to be done to get it from Evo to Desire.

Only differences between the phones are screen, camera and the 4G antenna.

Plus HTC themselves dont do network specific firmware, the networks do this themselves so if we dont get it soon after EVO then I will be annoyed.
[Desire General] ticalo:
Evo is getting froyo 3rd aug. Confiermed by htc
[Desire General] etismyname:
Damn, i hope they haven't fogotten abt us..

If it takes any longer, i am gonna root it, got a week holiday coming so i can mess around with the desire.
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
This is unfair. I rooted my Desire two days ago to try some FroYo, then read Neowin Thursday morning (on my Desire(Y)) and saw the "immanent" update coming, so i immediately restored it back to stock 2.1, only to be disappointed by a not-as-immanent-as-expected false update.

GET TO IT HTC, please?
[Desire General] haroujf:
singapore htc desire 2.1 user here. still waiting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[Desire General] :
It's all a bunch of cobblers isn't it. Just woken up at 4:30am in the UK. Checked for update.....nowt.

Annoying as my radio seems to have started playing up, and I was thinking this update would be just in time to fix it and start afresh.

A guy at work has a 2.2 build running sweet as a nut on his dam HERO!!!! I'm the only one who is too noob and paranoid to go root. Might start reading up on it.

Come on HTC. Put up, or shut up.
[Desire General] franklinvv:
I am really puzzled by the large number of people unrooting and reverting to the stock ROM just to receive the OTA update. Why not just wait a day longer and install the rooted version of the update?! Why did you root in the first place then?
[Desire General] Zaklin:
Most people probably rooted to get:

"FroYo"

Apps2sd

WiFi tether.

All these things will be "fixed" with the 2.2 stock rom.
[Desire General] snapilica2003:
Except that APP2SD is light years better than the Froyo implementation of A2SD. This was the game stopper for me. I'll have to wait for the cooks for the rooted APP2SD version of the official release.
[Desire General] GrandPuba2000:
I think their implementation of a2sd will be ok as froyo gets more mainstream and the ask to devvers for implementation of it will rise in the future, the a2sd as we know it is indeed better for now.
[Desire General] jobbie007:
Has anyone actually got the official over the air update yet?
[Desire General] GrandPuba2000:
Nobody has it... I think it will be rolled out today... since htc said before august and evo is getting the update also today....

Someone mentioned it before, why do a lot of people unroot instead of waiting for a rooted update...
[Desire General] 007shaolin:
when did HTC....

when did HTC say that they will release Froyo for desire before august?
[Desire General] tsekh501:
It turns out that the EVO 4G update got delayed for a few days. HTC & Sprint just tweeted on their official tweeter accounts that EVO 4G will be receiving Froyo update on Tuesday, Aug 3. They didn't say anything about other devices though.
[Desire General] Laban:
They are sending out the 2.2 update to a limited test group today, if all goes fine the will allow everyone to upgrade tuesday next week.
[Desire General] th3:
Yep. Only a few testers are getting the update on Evo 3G on the 3rd. The rest are planned for mid-August if everything goes well. That's the same timeframe I expect the Desire to get the update, and have done since May.

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] tommo123:
i rooted for apps2sd and am glad i did, there's also no way i'll be going to the official version of that. very limited it seems.

i'm hoping that the official release allows paul, CM et al to polish their releases and we can get a better custom froyo release
[Desire General] maxupp:
I'm wondering,...

if someone from benelux sniffs the update file, with wireshark or anything else, would it be possible to install the update on any desire?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Within a few hours of the update beginning to roll out OTA, some chefs will have downloaded the update and packed it up as a pre-rooted update.zip for use with Desires that have custom recovery images.

Anyone who "unrooted" in order to get the update OTA, should be aware that chances are that this rooted update.zip will be available before they get the OTA update due to the "staggered" nature of OTAs.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] mazinya:
The reason im thinking about rooting is mainly to be able to choose if i wanna install apps on the phone or on the card without going through paratitions, etc and also getting proper 720p and divx support. Does all that going to be fixed in the official 2.2 so i wont have to root it?
[Desire General] maxupp:
@mazinya: is divx support confirmed? i had the leaked official froyo on my desire, but divx didn't work
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Given that you can now get RockPlayer, is this still an issue?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] tommo123:
well yeah. rockplayer is awful for other formats so it's not ideal to have to swap players depending on what you're playing.
[Desire General] mazinya:
Well i dont know TBH. I assumed that 2.2 will support it from what i read but i guess its not official

What about the proper support for 720p? is that also not official?
[Desire General] cgorki:
Posted by HTC on Facebook:

"Sprint is the first wireless carrier to bring Android 2.2 to customers using the award-winning HTC EVO™ 4G beginning Tuesday, Aug. 3"

(I can't post outside links yet, since I'm a noob here)

...so does that mean that they're the first carrier at all to bring the Android 2.2 update??

That would mean that you all guys can have a relaxed weekend :D

I'm consused...
