Corra => This theory is interesting "the htc legend seems to go out of production...etc". Where did you get this information ?? I am certain however that the HTC costumer service round the world has absolutley no idea about anything connected with htc legend froyo update...they are just buying time but seanding email to people like us interested in the matter.

As far as the petition is concerned...I think it's extremely useful...It should alarm and mobilize HTC to get the job done. The timeframe is also important but I want just quit after waiting a couple of weeks after the hypothetical Q3 deadline.....Nevertheless if a situation emerges similar to the prelonged update of HTC Hero to 2.1 that just might be enough to piss me off :).
[Legend General] Corra:
I live (unfortunately and hopefully only until I graduate roftl) in Italy, and here is very hard to find one. Where you are enough lucky to find the last one on a physical store, seems you can often buy it for less than 300 euros. Otherwise you can find it overpriced on a very few online stores. Plus, have you heard that samsung started to have problems providing amoleds to htc, and that newest desire are equipped with a sony slcd? I have not heard about slcds on legend. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's getting discontinued.
[Legend General] the_canuck:
:rolleyes:
[Legend General] Corra:
what is it supposed to be?
[Legend General] the_canuck:
its an emoticon rolling its eyes at your baseless speculation, passed off as fact.
[Legend General] Corra:
Fact? I told that #I think# it's discontinued, this is my opinion, maybe YOU passed it as fact. Where I live is very difficult to find a legend and sellers says it's discontinued. However instead of putting a zero-contribution dumb face rolling his eyes you could just say your opinion and expose your argumentations.

And however, i forgot this

It it in fact in Canada, Bell discontinued it sometime ago already, was short lived (AMOLED screen shortage?)

Original source: http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/08/19/bell-htc-legend-reaches-end-of-life-due-to-htc-supply-constraints/
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Ehhh yup....Ok on Bell front but that's kinda of old news was only done by Bell which has no effect on sales elseware....HTC Legend was launched this year and I think will be an affordable option for those who want to experiance the quality HTC with the android experiance without spending big $/Euro....etc. on Ace Desire Z or any other new and shiny marvelous invention....Many technologically outdated and/or slower devices are introduced ( ehkmmm Wildfire) this year to be affordable....As far as i am concerned even HTC Hero is continued to be sold and many other similar devices which won;t just be dropped.

However the requierments for the android 3.0 are so to speak inevitable....peraps there will be a possibility to get them on legend via root but I 'd rather get a fresh new and shiny HTC device which runs Android III in the more or less distant future.
[Legend General] pfak:
Bell under their subsidiary Virgin Mobile is still stocking the HTC Legend.
[Legend General] Chaotick:
When September is over it would be nice to change the topic to "Froyo in October" :).

In Poland there are no such information that there would be a cancelation of any android phone ( HTC in particular) or as far as the main network operators are concerned ( Play, Orange, Era, Plus....the smaller operators are usually dependant on the "4 main powers").
[Legend General] Kwen:
lol you speak as if Bell is like a nothing company, here in Canada we don't have zillions wireless companies (unfortunately), they account for 27% of the market share...

The note does say until stock last though, so they'll keep selling it until it runs out
[Legend General] Corra:
I know, seems to make no sense but it hadn't an amoled display. And remember that the legend already has quite obsolete hardware unlike the hero when it was launched
[Legend General] Chaotick:
I didn't mean to sound or to treat Bell like nothing...All I mean that Bells actions did not ( and I hope will not) influance the world whide spreading of HTC Legend "termination".

The only networks about which I can be "mean" about would be the ones in Poland ( ERA and their costumer service in particular :) ).

HTC India Reply for Froyo Update

In this regard we would like to intimate you that we are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earlier access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid experience on FROYO.We expect to release all updates in the second half of the year but can't be more specific yet. As soon as there will be any upgrade released, you will find the details on our indian website ............

Froyo update confirm for HTC Legend in the second half of this year means before December 31st

So don't worry about Froyo update in legend
[Legend General] mtrax:
note I assume the update will be dependant on the origin of my phone rather than the carrier I'm on?

ie will I have to wait till the HTC region my phone comes from ?

One thing HTC service devisions is good at - providing consistant and misleading answers. :)

The post abouve seems to be translated by Google Translate and is totally unclear (to me at least)
[Legend General] Catnap:
I actually gave up with Froyo and so forth and rooted & installed Azure yesterday. The entire process was a pain in the backside, but it's very fast and pretty stable for me. I don't really lament the loss of the HTC programs (although People was pretty nice), but I can't be bothered waiting for HTC to release 2.2 anymore.

Worth a try folks. You have to jump through a bunch of hoops (and yes, 64-bit Windows seems to not like this at all) to get it done but I'm quite liking "clean" 2.2 so far.

[Edit] Remember, if you don't like it you can just flash a RUU file to go back to stock HTC Sense.

We are now very close to launch HD Desire Desire and Z, but also working hard on the Froyo upgrades. Stay tuned ...

mostly if he says "stay tuned" he tweets with more info.

hope well soon get a tweet with more information about wich froyo upgrades hes talking about
[Legend General] the_canuck:
for the record, here is the response i got from htc north america:

"I will be happy to address your inquiry. The HTC Legend has no official press release stating that it will get the 2.2 Froyo update. However, considering that it has the hardware capabilities to support Froyo, it would not be too far a stretch of the imagination to say that it is possible. We wait with anticipation beside you for this as well, but have not gotten any information (even rumors) to provide at this time."

so i'm guessing this is just another corporately correct way of saying its on its way, but that they can't just come out and say it.

Dear Mr.***** Thank you for contacting HTC. We expect to release updates for several of our 2010 models including Legend and Wildfire during Q3.
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Noitora => I will believe it when I see it. Q3 ends in 4 days and about 12 hours.
[Legend General] balendar:
Ok but what year Q3

Froyo surely available on second half of this year
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
We're in the 2nd half already mate, about 3 months now. Where have u been?
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Then they really gotta hurry.. not many days left..
[Legend General] ryaneu:
HTC is probably too busy and occupied with development and release of new phones now, and I think thats their main priority.
[Legend General] gallery:
sorry for typo errors i correct it

For second half we have another three months
[Legend General] buzjay:
...it is becoming really long long long ! We are waiting for three month now and it really give a non reliable image from htc wich has really good product but really bad aftersale and communication !

Can someone influent on this forum do or send something that will avoid them from customers disappearing from now...
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Honestly, everybody needs to take a chill pill. When its ready, they'll roll it out. I personally don't mind not getting Froyo on my Legend because it's already a good phone and more than capable enough to handle any of the purposes I intend to use on it.
[Legend General] DeeJayDark UE:
I couldn't agree more!
[Legend General] Corra:
We do. Honestly, I really don't understand why you continue reading and posting into this thread...
[Legend General] Chapell:
Well maybe you don't care if your phone runs faster or you have a keyboard in your own language but for me Froyo would bring features like this. Yeah, maybe these could be made with hacking, but I like support for my money.

What you say sound like "I don't care that I can't install Windows 7 on top of my Windows XP computer I bought last year."
[Legend General] buzjay:
for me peronnaly I just want to eject out of my phone this version of cyanogen wich does satified me at all and give me too much bug...

As I'm not sure if I use froyo actually (cyanogen 6.0) , I can not go bck to a 2.1 rom version which is risky for my phone...

can you confirm this, as official froyo does not seem to be realistic soon...

thx
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Even if you do you should stop complaining and harassing. When its ready, its ready. Well actually, I'm a spam robot. Or maybe I'm trying to knock some sense into all you impatience creature. Either one will do.
[Legend General] Corra:
I don't even remember when I posted here last time before today... and if you find we're harassing you could simply avoid entering here and stop bothering you by reading complaints. And stop telling people what they should do
[Legend General] znz:
Still at testing stage?

HTC was already testing froyo at least since July.

In an interview, Peter Chou (CEO HTC) said that firmware teams at his company were able to build froyo for their 2010 models a week after Google publicly released it.

Digging through commits on AOSP kernel tree for the Qualcomm MSM7227 reveals that the latest activities for the 2.6.32 kernel (the one for froyo) were from July.

Photos from an HTC event in China confirms that HTC indeed has internal test builds running on Wildfire in July. Like Legend, Wildfire also has an ARMv6 processor architecture.

Sorry I can't post the links here. Newbie restriction. But trust me, they're there on the web for you to see. :) Go look it up.
[Legend General] brochs:
I think you are missing the point here. HTC are VERY slow at releasing updates for their phones. If they cared about their customers just a little bit more, all 2010 models would have Android 2.2 now. And yes, we expect updates to be released. Could well bee that updatet products are of no interess for you, but for others that have experienced HTC for years now, we are starting to be tired of all the delays.

It's a shame HTC have no real competition, the day they do you can be sure customers will not accept this **** any more. :mad:
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Wow slow down there old timer. If everything is that much simple, don't you think they would release it already? Is there any sense in doing business where you hold updates for your product? You don't need a degree in BM to figure that out. Yeah I'm a new HTC user but a user nonetheless.

Lol, there is a lot of hostility there. Btw, is there a rule where you can only post once per day? I replied to topic in a good manner in which doesn't stray off-topic. And I was simply implying my opinion. Was it that hard for you to swallow? I wasn't saying that you all we're harassing me, I meant HTC. And never did I told people what to do. For f**k sake, learn to read before you write. Bashing people in forums is not cool. Yeah, learn ENGLISH.
[Legend General] lessirey:
Why are some people getting so much into useless arguments and hostility ?

Just chill out guys !

We get the point. Just shouting each other won't speed up froyo, just wait like many others are.

Developing a ROM ain't as easy as cooking a pie !

Ok, so a friend asked me to text them with another friends number. Sure, I said, no problem.

I started a new message (using Polymod 2.1D) filled in the number of my friend who asked, and then started to compose the actual message.

But, for love nor money, could I find any option to insert a number from my contact list!

I exited the message and went to the contact list. I found the "Share" option, but that simply made an email with a .vcf attachment!

Is there anyway to be able to insert a contact into a text (sms) message?

2. to install instead WM (think you call nand or something ;P) the same questions.

Thanks for all help in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
it looks to me as your playlogos1 is messed up (sound but no boot animation). i guess by

you mean you did a wipe/factory reset from recovery?

if so, i guess you have to reflash with odin. you could use adb to connect to the phone from recovery and try to fix the problem manually but i guess thats no an option for you ... reflash is the fastest method to get your phone running again ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
yes, i did the factory reset. i want no longer to be wrong, so can you please give me some newbie steps to do the reflash or at least a link? thank you very much, i am no longer in panic!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
read flash firmware using odin. i recommend one of the jmX firmwares. the newest of them being WXJM7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
thanks a lot for the help, i will never forget you. i was scared of losing the warranty and not solving this issue. if i am right, the method will work because i didnt know that you can make an entrance to the system. i checked the download mode and it works, i am now stuck with my pc until i repair it and on the firmware. 2 questions: 1. if the drivers of the sgs are installed, do i need to remove kies and reinstall it or something like that? and 2. if i did the factory reset, was the internal sd card formatted? thanks a lot again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jana999:
1)Hi there. There is no need to uninstall/reinstall kies, in fact u do not have to open it to be able to use odin. You can view this video tutorial first part and second part for illustration purposes. If you are unable to connect to odin you can open kies and reinstall your drivers with it.

2) As far as I know when you do a factory reset only your system reserved partition of your internal sdcard is formatted. The rest of your data in /SDCARD will remain untouched.

Senior members pls correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
theoretically you WILL loose your warranty when you use odin to flash a firmware, in reality the will never find out as long as you don't brick it during flashing...if you want to be 100% on the save side (regarding the warranty) you can also flash the original firmware (JF3 for me) back. personally i would not worry about that ...

no, you are in fact completely right :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
now that i know that this method can not fail i dont care about the warranty., what is the differences between firmwares and should i use the latest one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
as i wrote above i recommend a JMX one (JM6 or JM7) as they are really stable. i use JPC (android 2.2) which works well for me but there are people reporting serious problems like locked phones and overwritten IMEI's. therefore i wouldn't recommend this for unexperienced people...

i don't want to worry you but there are people who managed to brick their phones with odin. it's very very unlikely if you follow the instructions precisely. just that you know ... read the howto's carefully before proceeding!

Please DO NOT SPAM THIS FORUM! Why do you all post your questions in "ANDROID DEVELOPMENT", where there is the "Questions and Answers" forum? This way you steal space for DEV apps and useful stuffs without a reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
i agree but desperate people don't care about forum-rules which is why we have so many threads like this in the dev section. i guess the only way to solve this would be if an admin/mod would manually move them :D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] messerschmidtastropuf38:
i will consider this and i understand that it has some risk, but i think this is my only chance. also, i hope the 0.05 percent chance of a major electricity fail will not ruine my phone. for clarifying: is this reflash like the windows reinstalation with different update packs? if the process will be done completely, is there a chance for the black screen will be still there? i am a little nervous, not scared as the first time, but if the process dont work, is there any chance to repair it through samsung with some costs?
