Just another year or two...:P. Sorry couldn't help myself
[Legend General] tnakir:
And still... he told us nothing we already didn't know. Froyo is coming! Great. We already know. But when!?
[Legend General] Piacer:
I don't understand if they have it for black legend, why still not for sylver legend.
[Legend General] krasenk:
Simply because they're not spending too much resources and not making enough efforts on a mid-range device like the Legend. Now they have Desire HD, Desire Z and a whole bunch of WP7 devices to care of. HTC doesn't really care for Legend users as it cares for Desire owners e.g. We'll get Froyo update at the same time that Gingerbread will be out. We should be very thankful to have the XDA developers community and some very dedicated and skillful Legend developers.

It is really annoying how Desire HD receives FOTA two weeks after its release, but at the same time there is no teeny-weeny hotfix update for the SMS bug on the Legend.
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
Seriously guys... Just root and get Cyanogen! I used to check this thread daily for news getting more and more annoyed.. now I couldn't care less! Cyanogen is better than Sense UI anyway!

Someone try to update her legend silver today ? (sorry for my english)
[Legend General] janarp:
I'll wrote to HTC and asked when froyo released for HTC legend an they send me this:

At the moment the Android 2.2 is not available for the HTC Hero and we haven't information of when and if it will be release, however I can advice to keep an eye on our website for future information about it.

Wtf hero? I asked about legend... :)

Probably they was drunk... :)
[Legend General] krasenk:
I have noticed too that the HTC support representatives are really uninformed and quite inadequate. :D
[Legend General] janarp:
I don't understand that how they don't know anything...
[Legend General] Chaotick:
I've got my reply for HTC Poland:

Thank you for asking about the Update on HTC Desire ( WTF??? ).We are not aware when It will be out ( yeah it's out allright but I asked for Legend update :|). Please check with my website and when you will recieve the update directly to you phone.

I was not angry with HTC because of the lack of update for Legend but now I'am pissed of because the don't care till the point of FUBAR.....:(.Simply careless.
[Legend General] janarp:
LOL maby they ubersexual big party today... :)
[Legend General] :
Thanks?

Tried search before I made this post.

I just cant find a "officiel" cyanogen mod for Legend.
[Legend General] janarp:
Maby we have to send them this thread link.... then they see how many unhappy customers they have.
[Legend General] matn013:
Legend Phantom Black has Android 2.1 on it :mad:

It has been confirmed by someone on the forum of the dutch site http://tweakers.net/

who has bought a Legend Phantom Black

I really hope we get froyo before november begins
[Legend General] tnakir:
They probably outsourced support somewhere in India or something, and have autoresponder for this kind of emails (when will the update be available) to reduce support staff.
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Not a chance get froyo before november IMHO ( I have a strange feeling about this.)

The soonest IMHO we will see froyo on legend in an update is mid - november.
[Legend General] krasenk:
The only reason that can excuse HTC for the huge delay is the implementing of the new Sense UI. Considering that this won't happen I don't understand what is taking so long :confused: Also they already released Gratia running Froyo with similar hardware. Really don't get it! :mad:
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Mr Mark moons HTC director benelux twittered earlier.

'Legend eigenaren met trek in bevroren Yoghurt', we zijn jullie niet vergeten, echt niet! (weet dat het lang duurt)

Translation

'Legend owners with an appetite for FROzen YOghurt ', we havnt forgotten you , really we havnt! (i know it's taking a long time).

ah well wont take much longer i recon.
[Legend General] Chaotick:
It's a big mistery for me too. However if Gratia did get the new Sense UI eventually it will be on Legend.

I don't thin however that we will gent the froyo update with the new sense UI because as I recall the froyo update for Desire didn't feature it.
[Legend General] ebaak:
there is already a post in General where someone is asking for Gingerbread!!!! :) :)

Its funny that we are still in this thread. Froyo is getting outdated guys !!!
[Legend General] CrazyPeter:
No, it's called monopoly, anti-competitive and all sorts of other illegal behavior. Microsoft are still the same company that were hell-bent on Destroying Netscape, but these days they have new targets to destory at any cost.

Ohw come on someone should just buy the damn thing, and tell us what the hell is running on it:). Or at least go into the nearst store, that has one already and aks for if he or she can try it:rolleyes:.

[Legend General] smartsreenath:
its not cyanogen froyo that we are expecting.this thread is about official froyo release.:cool::cool::cool:

FOLLOW ME http://smartsreenath.blogspot.com/
[Legend General] randy_khoo:
Erm... HD recording???

Maybe HTC should hire some of these people on XDA, since XDA members do a faster job porting to 2.2 then they do.
[Legend General] ikdegek:
Froyo with FM radio hopefully. I am using now CM6.1, but really miss FM radio. Rest is great!

Ik.
[Legend General] Gaillimh_Abú28:
Same, the FM Radio is KILLING me! Miss it soooo soooo much...... The only reason i'd go back to the RUU's! BTW why can't it be used on the custom ROMS!
[Legend General] copponex:
You're pretty good if you're usin 6.1, because it isn't released yet :D
[Legend General] norashers:
We need the drivers/firmware. People involved in MIUI (I can't remember the exact abbreviation) go the fm receiver working in the Nexus One, but that uses a different chip. It would take a fair bit of work hacking the drivers in the sense rom (hacking in the true meaning of the word) to get enough useful information to write a set of drivers for the chip in our phones.
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
I miss the FM radio a little bit
[Legend General] janarp:
and i miss FROYO...LOL
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
Let's hope we can get the RUU of android 2.2 rooted.

Cause I'm not so sure that's going to be as easy as most of you think.
[Legend General] ikdegek:
Yes, I am, thank you. The nightly builds have 6.1.....:D
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Don't see any particular reason why it would be any different than other RUUs.
[Legend General] familyhousing:
Someone on another forum just posted this from HTC regarding Legend 2.2 update:

"Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center.

With regards to your inquiry,

Google has made us aware of an issue affecting updates to Android-powered handsets that result in the Android Market client becoming completely disabled after a platform software update. As a result, HTC has decided to temporarily suspend all current FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates that upgrade our phones from one Android platform version to another. HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible user experience. We are working closely with Google to resolve this issue quickly and will resume our programme of updates as soon as this issue is resolved."​

This is consistent with problems which manifested during the recent Desire 2.2 update for the 3 network. It seems that the update might really be ready but is being held due to this platform update problem.
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
DON'T believe everything people post, that's just simply nonesense lots of us are already running froyo and market is working fine.

Really don't know why people waste their time writing those things.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Again, i'll say, Gratia doesn't have the new Sense, yet it's on Froyo.

I can only hope the Legend will be different once again, God I love this phone...
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Could it be that maybe it its the htc framework which is conflicting with the google framework? even tough you are running froyo you are currently not using htc framework..
[Legend General] familyhousing:
I don't believe everything I post - that's why I qualified it by matching it with my own experience. 3 UK's desire upgrade ended up in rather a high proportion of factory resets. I am inclined to believe that there is some truth in the HTC response.
[Legend General] CrazyPeter:
If there are problems with the FOTA upgrade, then just release the RRU with a "FOTA coming soon".

Most of the people that want to run Froyo don't mind backing up their apps and reinstalling them.
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
Could be, but since the phantom black is already running froyo. (Although it hasnt been confirmed by anyone who owns it)
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Danish shop is pre selling it. Specs says Android 2.1 unfortunately..
[Legend General] CrazyPeter:
With OTHER stores with spec saying 2.2
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Until someone buy's this new black Legend we will not know for sure , won't we??
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
I might just call to the coolbleu I know that guy and I know he knows allot about android so if he confirms then I'm sure it will have 2.2
[Legend General] matn013:
I post this again since there are still people who think that legend phantom black comes with froyo which isn't true
[Legend General] gaga111:
photo or didnt happen :D :D
[Legend General] acid74:
Same thing in Norway.....
[Legend General] Chaotick:
No info about android version in Polish. The scary thing is that one of the not so many shops that offer Legend black ver in Poland ( on the website at least) say that it runs android 2.0 and has a snapdragon processor.That I did not expect xD
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
That's just a homepage of a site I don't see anything about the legend there
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
OK, So Mark Moons is lying when he said on stage while showing off the Phantom Black Legend that is comes with 2.2 ?

Like gaga said, photo or it didn't happen :D
[Legend General] Kwen:
I have my FOTA script that checks for update of all known version running on the Legend :)

http://zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php

Possibly some first batches of the black Legend may have 2.1 while newer ones (or future OTA update) will bring 2.2...
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
why presume any possiblity..its simple..HTC Legend will never have Froyo..and now its a fact that the New Phantom black is also old 2.1 in new clothes...poor HTC...didnt expected this from u...
[Legend General] ishan_rulz:
Why be so pessimistic?
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Why so serious??? :D

Don't be so negative. We will get Froyo in time.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Dude... Stop telling people FroYo isn't coming! If you think it isn't just leave us alone in our little world waiting for it.

FroYo is coming it's just a matter of time. Not everyone wants a different ROM, I quite like Sense & lots of widgets and find it's better on battery life than Launcher Pro Plus with only the LPP Friends widget.
[Legend General] petertakov:
Do we really now that for fact? Has it been confirmed by someone who actually held the new Legend in his hands? I must have missed that.
[Legend General] HpX:
Look her(http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=614225)

Skroll down to where it says, Operativsystem and look at what version it says the black legend is shiped with. We will get Froyo in the end, just have to wait a litle while longer. And if u have noticed, HTC just had a few major releases, so dont it think froyo on legend gona make it to the top on there to do list..
[Legend General] matn013:
I said it was on the forum of that site

here's the link:

[Legend General] MDnns:
All Black Legend devices run on 2.2
[Legend General] HpX:
where do all the ppl get there news from, i cant see any confirmed reports, saying black legend will come with 2.2

Sevral shops, get the black legend this week in norway, and their spec's state that it comes with 2.1

So Black legend til will be shiped with 2.1 by the looks of it, and get the 2.2 update with the rest of us.

sorry for the bad English

From the official htc legend facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/HTC-Legend/325301383728?v=wall

*** I have the Legend Phantom Black since yesterday and it has 2.1 and HTC Sense.
[Legend General] matn013:
Oh wait, I already said there was somebody who bought the legend phantom black and confirmed that there was 2.1 on it but nobody believed me.

Guess you guys will have to live with the fact that we still have to wait a while till we get froyo on the legend and if you don't have the patience then you should flash your device with a froyo rom from the developers section
[Legend General] kdma:
i believe that froyo is a lie.

we will never get it
[Legend General] matn013:
We will get eventualy because marc moons posted it on twitter. If it was't true hé would't have posted that
[Legend General] HpX:
Wow, its on twitter so it must be true.
[Legend General] gaga111:
If we had a photo that proves that the phantom version runs eclair we could ask markmoons about it via Twitter. He might tell us more about the date when froyo comes.
[Legend General] CrazyPeter:
Clearly this is a COMMENT, not a STATEMENT from HTC....

If I post a reply that says I have a HTC Phantom Black Legend with 2.2 on it, does it then make that true too?

You know that almost everything written on the internet is made up, or marketing FUD?

[Legend General] matn013:
If it would be marketing then they would have said that there was 2.2 on it.

And I don't think that people who are active on a forum for quite some time will post things that are made up

If it is declared 2.2 and in fact it isn't, you can return it.
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:

Here it is stated pretty clear:

HTC Legend Android 2.1 Dansk (PHANTOM BLACK)
[Legend General] AngeloLegend:
So there still is no actual release date?
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
There are so many users confirming 2.1 on Black legend and not even a single user is coming up with 2.2...its clear 2.2 on Legend is a fake...will never come:mad:
[Legend General] HpX:
You must not give up yet, HTC stated that we will see froyo on legend during the 3 quarter. In UK financial year 3 quarter ends 31 desember if I'm not mistaken. So we play the waiting game a bit more :) Personally, I do not care to much. I have tested many grate rom's, my fav's Azure and now CM39 :)
[Legend General] raf2k:
Q3 has ended 30 september. We are on Q4 now :D

Let me explain.

Q1 Jan-mar

Q2 Apr-Jun

Q3 Jul-Sept

Q4 Oct- Dec

Quarter= 1/4 of the year
[Legend General] HpX:
Most companies follow financial year not the calender year, and the financial year is different for each countries.

Let ME explain:

In The United states its.

1st Quarter: October 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010

2nd Quarter: January 1, 2011 - March 31, 2011

3rd Quarter: April 1, 2011 - June 30, 2011

4th Quarter: July 1, 2011 - September 30, 2011

In Norway its. (Like u explaind)

Q1 Jan-mar

Q2 Apr-Jun

Q3 Jul-Sept

Q4 Oct- Dec

In Uk the financial year starts 6 april, so u do the math.......
[Legend General] mtrax:
I'm pretty sure when they talk about Q3 they are NOT talking about financial calendar so Q3 is done, they must be late.
[Legend General] Memarco:
Hey I`m new, i got one question why does everybody speak about Q3? the official HTC Statement says that it comes during Q4!? And they did say this in july

It's just an Article of a German Computer Magazine saying that HTC officially announced FroYo for Legend, Wildfire & Desire and that it will come this year.

It doesnt really help

We'll get froyo tomorrow.

The great thing about my earlier statement is that there is a small chance that it's true, no matter when you read it. :D

Swyped from my HTC Legend

I'll hold you to that :D and if it doesn't come tomorrow ...

I'll lol.

[Legend General] JonasDroid:
No froyo today? Ohh well let's wait for tomorrow xD
[Legend General] acid74:
Tomorrow never dies(comes).

BTW A Norwegian web shop confirmed that phantom black Legend comes with 2.1
[Legend General] evank418:
I've given up on legend froyo update. Rooted n installed mdz super 8 which works brilliantly. I'm never ever getting a phone that is mid range phone. I've learned my lesson.
[Legend General] troupierLEON:
Hear ye!

Got another answer from HTC Germany. I asked them what their definition of "very soon" is. They answered (again 5 Mins later), that the update is anounced for a long time and hence it should not take much longer. They don't know if it's days or weeks and they can't give me a promise it will arrive at all...

For all the german folks:

"Vielen Dank fuer Ihre Rueckmeldung.

Da das Update ja schon lange angekuendigt ist, sollte es wirklich nicht mehr lange dauern.

Allerdings kann ich Ihnen leider nicht sagen, ob es sich um Tage oder Wochen handelt.

Mit Sicherheit bestaetigen, dass es kommt, kann ich Ihnen zurzeit leider auch nicht. Ich kann Ihnen nur die offiziellen Informationen geben, die Sie auch auf unserer Webseite finden."

Cheers

Leon
[Legend General] gaga111:

[Legend General] samkaiser:
Das ist typisch HTC... ich hoffe, dass cm6.1 stable schneller rauskommt. Kein bock mehr auf HTC zu warten...
[Legend General] fabi280:
The HTC Legend does it Job, at least for me.

But i also gave up waiting for FroYo - but i'm using CM Nightly Builds.

The MVZ Rom is a bit Spanish (there is a SetUp App - i already forgot its name again - and it's spanish only)

Samkaiser, please speak English. Please provide Translations if you're writing in German.

For the non-german-users:

Thats typically for HTC. I hope that CM 6.1 stable is going to be released sooner (as HTC's FroYo). I really don't want to wait any longer for HTC.

The CM Nightly Builds are pretty stable - i didn't find any unstable thing there until now.
[Legend General] orouborus:
i am somehow expecting froyo when they release officially the desire hd and htz. but i am having doubts if they will really release it. :(
[Legend General] were2:
Wow, mal eine andere Antwort von dem sonst eigentlich ziemlich miesen Support, zwar immernoch nichtssagen aber immerhin mal etwas.

Die Leute von HTC arbeiten schon so lange dran, es wird definitiv kommen, fragt sich nur wann.

wow, another useless answere from the htc support. but a little bit more professional and better informed than the others i read sofar.

the employees of htc are working so long, they wont cancel the update.

http://translate.google.com/transla...te-voor-htc-legend-nadert-met-rasse-schreden/

Take a look at this...

Everything else is either old (yeah, a few days old is too damn old for this case), or irrelevant, fake.

The first line really, REALLY caught my attention though. HTC recently held an event, it's up on their youtube channel, but it's all in chinese so I couldn't hear ****.

If the author here is interpreting from that video (probably translating from that chinese) then he's translating that Peter Chou is translating that the HTC [Legend] will get Froyo quite soon.

I hope this all makes sense, I'm a bit drunk but wtfe.
[Legend General] ropaisoft:
Gingerbread is coming soon, why do we even bother waiting for Froyo from HTC?
