You see, this is what I'm talking about. There's almost no difference right now. I've found a total of three apps so far that actually take advantage of a2sd. Google Sky, ROM Manager and Barcode Scanner. I've still got 20MB of Google Earth sitting on internal storage with no word on whether it will ever even get an a2sd update.

Flash video isn't great quality, unfortunately. And it's a bit fiddly. I just have it switched to 'on demand' (though it is nice to have the option).

Wi-fi tethering is great though, I have to say.
[Desire General] Filman:
Froyo will be, without a doubt, i very big improvment in speed and some other feactures...the benchmarks speack by them selfs...no? And the fact that htc is doing some efforts to bring the ultimate techs for out machine makes me fill that i have spend the money well.
[Desire General] rovex:
Yes the benchmarks are impressive, but the real world usage is only a bit better. Its smoother for sure, but 2.1 is hardly bad or sluggish. 720P video is much more important.
[Desire General] skinnypupp:
I always thought my Desire was decently fast. Then I tried my brother's Nexus One with 2.2 installed, and it was noticeably faster in every way. Since then, I have been really looking forward to this update.
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
So, to wrap it up - there is no recorded case of anybody getting the OTA update today?
[Desire General] 911_911_911:
Just got froyo

I just got froyo about 15 minutes ago, but my son decided that he wanted ice cream instead...chocolate and stracciatella. Still anxiously waiting for 2.2 though.
[Desire General] PStephan88:
:-D
[Desire General] SeishinBG:
Yes :/

Someone post a link to somebody's twitter account who had posted that Froyo somehow sucks... But I don't think that it's real.

Still waiting...
[Desire General] Stakkertoo:
Very funny :p, I just wondered if the network know that I am now on Android...and will I get the update, or is it independent of the Network?
[Desire General] chris7494:
The phone checks for the update, the networks don't push it to your phone. If your on 405 version and unlocked your phone should pull the update when it sees it. Assuming HTC come through for us!
[Desire General] irishdroid:
Just to clarify, I'm on 2.1 at the moment, the rom that was originally on the phone, but rooted. Will I lose root if I download the update?

And secondly, is it the normal way of these things that someone will grab the update over the next couple of days and distribute it so we don't have to wait for the OTA?
[Desire General] crowstar:
a rooted version will be made fast, in the form of a custom rom
[Desire General] yrreP:
Lucky I have a BeNeLux device then isn't it then P..?

:P
[Desire General] raynerape:
I have rooted my HTC Desire. Will I be able to update to OTA 2.2? Will I lose root?
[Desire General] cyron_at:
YES, you will loose it
[Desire General] djoni1980:
You will recieve regular update. Orange branded rubbish update will come out in few months. Since your phone isn't rooted, it is critically important that you have your gold card in the phone during the update, or something could go wrong and your update won't be successfull.

wait for rooted versions, they will be here day or two after official htc release, than flash it from recovery and enjoy life ;)
[Desire General] aindow:
No it won't. The networks send out all updates, but the phone then choses which to download based on the ROM on your phone. An Orange ROM will choose the Orange update, the generic ROM will choose the Generic update.

My unbranded Desire updated OTA just fine using the Orange network and didn't get any Orange stuff installed.

The generic ROM will have the update as soon as it is released by HTC. The network branded version, Orange in this case, will take longer as the network will customise it before sending it out to users.
[Desire General] Xephrey:
This is indeed exciting! I can't wait to jump on this bandwagon. I will of course be waiting for AdamG and others to do their magic and release custom ROMs from it.
[Desire General] dakore:
Apparently some OTA update is already out:

http://twitter.com/eldarmurtazin :

"HTC Desire offer to update over the air (just now). Starting update of FW"

"Hmm, some minor as i see update, not Froyo, but the date of update version is 28/07/10 Strange"
[Desire General] djoni1980:
me too :)

10 chars
[Desire General] joe_998:
Me three :)

How long does it usually take for the guys to work their magic??
[Desire General] neowlchaz:
I don't know if it's been pointed out, but the UK HTC site is stating that the Desire has 720p video recording, but still lists it as a 2.1 device. I wonder what's going on here...?
[Desire General] aindow:
Yeah i noticed that last night lol
[Desire General] jjplayground:
I am on a custom ROM. So if I check for updates through my phone I will get the notification there is an update (froyo). This will be the original rom from HTC. Right?

And it can be installed without any risk?
[Desire General] BlackDragonBE:
The risk is having no root anymore.

I won't install it anyway because I prefer stock over Sense.

Using Defrost at the moment.
[Desire General] jjplayground:
Sorry for this new bee question about the SD Card but I hope you would like to answer my questions.

1. Can I use the other unformatted part of the SD card (it is 8 gb) for FAT32 after making a Ext3 partition (through ROM Manager) and can I put here maps for nav, music, etc on it?

2. Will the widget still work after rebooting the phone. I read the widget installed on the SD will not work after a reset?

Thank you very much!
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
hopefully we can get a rooted update tomo too :)

it did not take long for the dev's ere to root the leaked 2.2 ROM so should be same for this. Plus we might be able to use the A2SD+ script :)
[Desire General] Geeba:
Hmmm surely once a phone is unbranded it is... well..... unbranded.... pretty much like HTC intended it? :confused:
[Desire General] ragdoll20:
Another dutchie here :P lets hope they aren't playing around! I aint rooting my phone! haha
[Desire General] muuu:
About two weeks ago I submitted a bug report (About / in SMS From header) to HTC Denmark.

And in the reply, thy said that thy would include the fix in the next release.

So I'm looking forward to it, and I hope the fix is included.

But I wouldn't be surprised if two weeks is too little time.

But until it's fixed I can't use any sense roms, not even the original 2.1 or the OTA update. :(

Well until then I'm sticking to Defrost rom. ;)
[Desire General] k.aalai:
software no is 1.12.110.11

so i suppose i have an oldish branded one?
[Desire General] chris7494:
Yes, t mobile branded I believe
[Desire General] Wextercz:
my FW version: 1.21.405.2
[Desire General] bobsie41:
I've just cracked open my singleton.

Better than frozen youghart!
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
Do we have froyo in the UK? I don't think I have ever seen it.
[Desire General] code72:
Mmmmm.... it's 7.35 pm (Italy) and nobody in Europe received 2.2 update?
[Desire General] Filman:
No one here in portugal..
[Desire General] Biffy:
Right this isn't based on anything, but let's all forget the announcement it's coming this weekend and imagine it was announced for Monday instead. That way on Monday morning we hopefully (!) shouldn't be disappointed. :)

I think someone's earlier guess that it will be 1st August onwards makes sense.
[Desire General] eddyther:
Still waiting in Spain also...

[Desire General] Flaggie:
It would also make more sense to release it on Monday. Because then at least the customer support is open to "assist" if there are problems.
[Desire General] chris7494:
That's like saying forget you can walk! We all know the "press release" says its this weekend, human nature keeps us checking now lol
[Desire General] Domsdey:
08:46 PM in Bulgaria and still nobody has received the update, so I am guessing the roll out will start tomorrow (but definitely won't finish then).
[Desire General] Smirge:
The actual quote i recieved is here in danish :

"Rygterne har svirret, men nu kan vi med glæde slå fast, at fra og med denne weekend får du som HTC Desire bruger muligheden for at få Android 2.2 på din mobil."

and translated (google) is :

"Rumors are buzzing, but now we are happy to clarify that as of this weekend you get the HTC Desire user the ability to get Android 2.2 on your mobile."

so - as of this weekend must mean IN the weekend - not after...

But hey - not the first time HTC let us wait (Hero)
[Desire General] FrAN_oC:
I agree... IMO 1st August makes more sense than 31th July. And that makes me think that Google will only let 3rd party brands (HTC, Samsung, Motorola...) release Froyo from 1st August.

No news about the update here in Spain (19:45pm). Tried 5 minutes ago with my cousin's unlocked and unbranded Desire.

[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Oh, you can find some @ Tesco :D Once I bought some instead of ice cream and when I realized my mistake it was too late...
[Desire General] Biffy:
In the UK: Yeo Valley do some nice organic strawberry froyo. Ben and Jerrys also have some I think.
[Desire General] rackspace:
No update in Pakistan :D
[Desire General] chris7494:
I can confirm Tesco has froyo. It's Greek yogurt and honey but still..... I've got froyo Woohoooooooo. I was hoping it might help my phone get some but not worked yet.

HTC GET UR FINGER OUT OF UR ASS AND SEND THE UP DATE ( please) :D:D:D
[Desire General] Teppic24:
FFS! Can we please stop posting in this thread until someone actually receives the update? 64+ pages of "I haven't got it yet" isn't helping anybody!

You know... next Monday.. HTC will announce..

[Desire General] fimae:
I'll put my bucks to "htc newer officially annoynced any date about updating..."
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Guys I think we should stop believing random forum posts.

The only thing I'm believing from now on is http://search.twitter.com/
[Desire General] chris7494:
So Im not the only one watching the Twitter conversations regarding the desire then lol.
[Desire General] Tomaco:
yes... THIS is so believe-able :)
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Well I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized that the otherway also would make no sense. If they want to release it on saturday, why not just say we are releasing it saturday. It just plain sucks they didn't specify a date and time.
[Desire General] lordjester:
What I want too know is where are these official htc notices coming from..? I've email customer services and they really don't know a thing..! (nothing new there then!) The UK HTC website has nowt about any updates and all the phone websites never state where the "official" news come from..? (have they got a hotline to the HTC MD?)
[Desire General] vigin:
I got MyQ with free data, and atm cruising the north coast - Halkidiki.

Well, on the lighter note, it seems at least there will be petrol in Greece this weekend, instead of FroYo :D
[Desire General] Mark One:
Twitter - learn how to say "Where's my FroYo" in 20 different languages ... freaky and a bit sad ...
[Desire General] chris7494:
I personally called HTC UK yesterday who didn't know either but were open to the idea that they probably wouldn't be told anyway, it seems a bit daft considering they will have to support it!
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
I meant I'll trust twitter only when I see lots of people reporting it :)

[Desire General] msdl28712:
Never ever rub a man's froyo
[Desire General] StuRoid:
hahaha

seriously laughed so hard at that after reading 60-odd pages of garbage posts.

On another note people, think back to any other major OTA that has come before. As far as I can recall nearly every time it is people waking up to it in the morning as a opposed to it being rolled out during the day. I highly suspect I'll be waking up tomorrow morning on my birthday with a little froyo present waiting :)
[Desire General] kristovaher:
lol

It's really HTC's fault. They should not have announced anything and should have stuck with their Q3, no one would have cared that much. Getting peoples hopes up and constantly failing is what makes people upset. It's twice as bad at the moment, because of Dutch HTC and Mark Moons announced (and failed to deliver) just a few days ago.

They really need a new PR department, right now it looks like their PR is helmed by the same people who are running Apple Antennagate and White iPhone public relations.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
That's the way support works everywhere :)
[Desire General] Marcovanbasten:
Obvious joke is obvious :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Sapphire008:
Htc employees must be having fun n laughing at us
[Desire General] Mark One:
Agree .. still freaky to see the kind of public response a device manufacturer like HTC can wield today, even though their PR is woefully inadequate. They need to learn to manage this stuff before it really starts biting them on the arse ....
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
The hype for this OS is like the buildup to Star Wars episode 1, and then the anti Climax when everyone realised it was crap.
[Desire General] nirave:
You never know; ive been using FroYo on my previous Desire and i think it adds a lot to the Android eXperience. That being said, the waiting is too long!
[Desire General] Mark One:
Not even an OS - it's a freakin' point release.
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
Erm..... well we have all had 2.2 for a while but official roms are just nice tend have less bugs etc a little more complete. Give a better base to work with.

I thunk it nice to have little excitement, and hype.
[Desire General] 911_911_911:
How many HTC Desires are out there waiting for this update? Anyone know good sales figures?
[Desire General] kristovaher:
Well, it depends. The reason why people are so anxious about it is because it is new. Desire is not exactly a cheap phone and people love getting additions to their phones that they don't have to pay extra for. I mean, we -love- Desire, it is a great phone as it is.

This is a first for me, I've never expected to receive neat upgrades for my phones. Hells, I come from N78, which was a phone from the time when smartphone boom had not really taken over the market yet. N78 was a smartphone, but it was not really 'smart' as much as 'bloated with features that I never use'.

I did not expect Desire to change the way I use a phone that much, but it has and I would love it even if I had never heard about FroYo. But the fact that it is announced and announcements have so far failed to deliver makes me anxious and makes me think Desire is not as good as it should be and can only be 'the best' if I get the update.

Without this whole hoopla, I would not care at all :D
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Its funny... My ROM is Vodafone UK and even though I *KNOW* there's no chance of an update, i keep tapping "Check now" :(

I think its great that we're even getting an update to a newer version of Android... So many companies just focus on their new phones and don't bother updating the old...

I feel sorry for Milestone owners!
[Desire General] kristovaher:
No idea, but I am one of the five people among my friends, colleagues or acquintances to own a Desire, so it is at least quite popular here in Estonia. I know personally more Desire owners than iPhone owners. iPhone is also quite popular, but has not really caught on here as much as one would expect.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
There's 4 people in my office alone, and I know of several more in our building - seems to be very popular in the UK too.
[Desire General] lordjester:
If i remember correctly the first time that I got an update for my phone I was sitting in a club at 11.45pm when the update came through, but I had to wait until I got home to use the WiFi to download it... so maybe that's the way HTC work and think that by releasing it at night there's more bandwidth..??? as for someone working over the weekend...???? Don't we live in a age where ya can just press a button and let the computers do the rest..!!!!
[Desire General] kristovaher:
What's surprising is that no one has marketed HTC Desire here, none of its carriers. It's essentially been only through good word of mouth and online research before purchase.
[Desire General] LuCkYaN:
In Romania, same , my phone is up to date :))
[Desire General] Arctic Matt:
I was hoping that....

it would be done today as it's my daughters birthday tomorrow and a wanted to film the party in 720p. Still got until tomorrow lunch time and if it doesn't happen it's hardly going to ruin the day.
[Desire General] chris7494:
Knowing my luck it will appear during top gear tomorrow night lol. Actually scrap that, knowing my luck it will be announced every week till we have all moved to the desire 2, then they won't bother, its called Apple style! Maybe we'll get offered a free bumper instead.

I reckon they have been learning tips from Apple PR department.
[Desire General] mijanous:
Our Orange SVK have here now a huge marketing marathon in the TV for the Desire. It's funny because Desire is on SVK market for some time now. Anyway...hope the update will be out tomorrow morning :) so i will have beautiful wakeup call :)

[Desire General] DoomFragger:
If HTC was really keen to provide the update to the Desire owners, it would be already out. C'mon! Limited bandwidth issue!?!? WTF!?!? In the 21st century?

Why not rollout an OTA for the average user and seed (as in torrent) the update for the most experienced ones? How's this solution for the limited bandwidth BS?

Also, if it was starting this weekend, it would be nice to have started at 0h00 of Saturday? What's the logic to start (unlikely) at a Sunday?

I'm not pissed because Froyo is not out. I'm pissed because HTC said it would and it isn't. It's the expectation they created unnecessarily... What's the point?
