Android 2.3 Update Starts Rolling Out to HTC Desire HD and Incredible S

May 4, 2011

Dash it all I missed it :( Next rollout some time this Century, thats Official.
[Desire HD General] frank21cn:
did it work before the update?

which update did you go? 2.42 or 2.50?
[Desire HD General] Mahdian57:
I've downloaded this RUU:

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.37.707.3_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_188759_signed

and mine is 1.83 but after a while a message appeared that use correct ROM.

please help me

also I can't get OTA via any connection e.g gprs, wifi, usb. I'm in Iran
[Desire HD General] guangy:
My solution is to download the skin again but cancel it when downloading. The icon will disappear and the downloaded skin remains.
[Desire HD General] wid0w:
How hard could it possibly be to say "Yes, we will give you 2.3 soon enough, and yes the devices will be the following: bla, bla and desire hd :)" They are not receiving any money for keeping it a secret... And I will say this, if my friend with a galaxy s gets the update before I do (yes, I own a stock desire hd), my next android will be a samsung.

Seriously, maybe I got it wrong, but is 2.4 or 2.3 so different from 2.2 in terms of programming code? Why don't they just copy paste, test and fix that htc sense so we can receive it asap...
[Desire HD General] paolo599:
... its a whole sense overlay they have to program...
[Desire HD General] sj89:
cant w8 for 2.4 gingerbread
[Desire HD General] shithead:
There's a big difference between 2.2 & 2.3 for developers. Since 2.3 developers (not only app developers,but also HTC) can run programs natively.

Android uses Dalvik, which is a virtual machine of android. If I'm correct, apps are made in Java and Dalvik have to translate the code so Android knows what to do. When apps are created in native code as C, those apps doesn't need to be translated by Dalvik for Android. So apps can run better & faster on our devices
[Desire HD General] Nodeuk:
I'd rather wait a little longer for them to get it right, than end up with a dead phone. Seemingly inconsequential changes can lead to subtle bugs.
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
Plus they have other issues to deal with like the issues everyone's had, with the battery life, sms bug, locations, HTCSense.com etc etc etc.....And then test it again,
[Desire HD General] Alkana:
I'm waiting for this update !
[Desire HD General] kenpowei:
why htc only give dhd a 1230mA battery, that's really disappointing.
[Desire HD General] Blezz:
what has the 1230mA battery to do with the 2.3 update?
[Desire HD General] vlad1995:
Yeah sure, but 2.3 is already 2 months out. So it should finaly come:rolleyes:

But the other question what makes 2.3 so much better than 2.2? :o
[Desire HD General] ronensand:
then when will it release?
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Uhm.. I explaind it a few posts back

Beside that, they've also added NFC support, Video chat support, multi touch keyboard and some not so big graphical enhancement, like yellow glow when you scroll down & up and hit the end of the list.

Oh yeah.. and a Gingerbread easter egg :P

About the release, Google released stock android 2.3, but HTC has to reprogram HTC Sense and test it on 2.3 so it isn't buggy on their devices. This process takes a lot of time and work too.
[Desire HD General] Blezz:
after 2.2.1 i think the testing progress isnt taking so long ****head ;)
[Desire HD General] shithead:
I don't know :P

But I think they've trashed the 1.72 update (or the update which had to fix 1.72 bugs on Android 2.2 with HTC Sense 2.0) and probably going to finish HTC Sense 2.1 and test it on Android 2.3.3 (or Android 2.4:confused:) and release it as the next update.

This is the cheapest way for HTC to get the latest HTC Sense on our DHD's, which makes "Sense", right? :P

Anyway, this is what I think, but I'm also hoping for a new update for our device asap :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] returnVoid:
how hard is it to port 2.4 from other htc phones to dhd ?
[Desire HD General] pioppa84:
Thank you for your reply
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
2.3 was only made for nexus s the manufacturers will update to 2.4 or just release phones with 2.4 no 2.3 with sense for us but hope 2.4 we get ;)
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
With the Desire S and such it will be most easy. Its really the same hardware apart from our bigger screen and 8 mp camera.

-----

I'm not happy to see you, that's a Desire HD in my pocket.
[Desire HD General] sparven89:
New info?

Well guys there is some new info about gingerbread. It seems that all desire phones will have the opportunity to update to the new gingerbread rom.

All desire phones?

This will include:

desire, desire hd, desire s and desire z

[Desire HD General] DasWerschaf:
According to the german golem website (sorry, I'm not allowed to post links yet), it seems we're not getting 2.4 soon.

HTC seems to roll out 2.3.3 first, even on the just announced devices. :(
[Desire HD General] Manning23:
For the people who want 2.3.2 Gingerbread on there phone:rolleyes:, i can advise to look @Android Development section and search for:

[ROM] CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD: V7.0.0-RC1 (17/02/2011)

Flashed it myself and with the 26.04.02.17 M2 SF Radio it's running smooth :D.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I have yet to own an android (soon to be an DHD onwer), so this might be a stupid question. I want just wondering if the 2.3 update will be worth the wait, and if we get the official 2.3 update from HTC, would it render all the custom rom, rooting and unlocking unless on our device? (Theoretically speaking, just my speculation).
[Desire HD General] DasWerschaf:
I guess the current ROM creators will adapt to 2.3 very quickly. ;)

After a couple of days we should see the first custom ROMs based on HTC's 2.3 rolling out...

Rooting and unlocking may be a different problem. At least for phones bought with v2.3 installed. Currently unlocked phones should be fine, I guess (if using a custom ROM).
[Desire HD General] Manning23:
And don't forget that after you get the 2.3 update. HTC will not sent any Updates soon. With root you can download modded, fixed and tuned roms of the official release...better radio's for signal, WiFi strength and ofcourse you can always flash the Official rom.

You can always unroot your phone so i don't see uphold to root :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Stefanic:
I hope HTC will let something know in the near future, would not hurt to at least tell people about an upcoming update right?
[Desire HD General] jm1973:
I upgraded from cm6 to cm7 a few days ago. The battery life is much better, it runs smoothly (once i worked out correct profiles for setcpu), and it has fixed a few problems that I had with cm6 (camera didnt work - battery wore down FAST).

Very happy with it so far. Would definitely recommend rooting phone.
[Desire HD General] steve_clifton:
HTC are taking much to long to release the 2.3,
[Desire HD General] Fihlvein:
It's confirmed. 2.3 wont be released to Desire HD.

It is only for Nexus S, DHD is getting 2.4. :p
[Desire HD General] Marioaguado:
Hello how do you confirm that we will have 2.4?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
I hope HTC goes straight to 2.3.3 and gets it out promptly.

[Desire HD General] infinityz:
HTC CONFIRMED the update for desire series: here
[Desire HD General] - sYndrome -:
How do you know this? I read on cnet that Desire, HD, and Z will receive updates to 2.3.

@infinityz: Yes, the Desire will get an update but most likely after the Desire S comes out and after the Desire HD and Z get their updates.
[Desire HD General] PHPanos:
I can't wait for the 2.3 update ;(
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Currently running android revolution.
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
I've read the same on Android Central and Phandroid. 2.3 Gingerbread is Nexus S EXCLUSIVE like the Droid was the only device with 2.0 Eclair. The other devices got 2.1 ECLAIR, and we'll get 2.4 GINGERBREAD. That's a fact. The Desire S will be released with 2.4, not 2.3.

ATTENTION XDA members! Testicles. That is all.
[Desire HD General] Blezz:
and i read today that htc uses 2.3.3 and not 2.4
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
I there any cooked rom with the latest android sys, 2.3 or 2.4, and with HTC Sense and most of the stock apps?!?!

I just wished that this exists...
[Desire HD General] MAkS1:
I just read that 2.4 is renamed to 2.3.3
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Man, can't Google choose a f****** number and stick with it? What's next? 7.9.5.3?
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
It cant be true, today google released 2.3.3 for the N1 :p
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
Until we get a dump of a 2.3 sence rom devs have no source....
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
sense isnt on 2.3 and probaly wont be, but i think htc will be sensin 2.4

just use cm 7, you wont be dissappointed
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Hahahaha! I agree
[Desire HD General] Andr3wKay:
how will that work then

2.2 Froyo

2.3 Gingerbread

3.0 Honeycomb

2.4 ????

Or do we just not count 3.0?

If so, their naming sequence will be out (they're going from C,D,E...down to G,H,I....)
[Desire HD General] rc-men:
2.4 Ice Cream
[Desire HD General] Andr3wKay:
Just read here that 2.4 will still be called 'Gingerbread'

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/38311/android-2-4-april-release-date

hmmmm.....
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
2.4 will still be Gingerbread just as Eclair was 2.0 and 2.1 so it isn't something unheard of with Android. 3.0 is specific to tablets, a slight branch for a new form factor and I imagine after that we'll see them combine into one, perhaps with Ice Cream. A little confusing perhaps but not that confusing.
[Desire HD General] Andr3wKay:
ah OK that explains it then :)
[Desire HD General] kinnyfaifai:
I read somewhere this week (Engadget I think) that Android will be released on a 6 monthly cycle from now on. Since Honeycomb is scheduled to be out March, the next one (Ice Cream) is rumoured for Sept release which will try unify both smartphone and tablet code base. Hope that is true! :D
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
But is impossible to have the last version of Sense on top of Android 2.3??

How I miss WinMo in this aspect....
[Desire HD General] a33a:
Unfortunately not, as sense in android is not just a home launcher, it is also a bunch of underlying frameworks.

These frameworks need to be ported to work with new OS versions.
[Desire HD General] FluFfke:
stock

Why does HTC develop Sense anyway? isnt Android good enough on its own?
[Desire HD General] iasharif:
Obviously u don't get the benefits that sense from HTC offer... AOSP roms are just the basics. Its up to the manufacturer to add the meat such as advanced Microsoft exchange support etc.. Android is great but from stock it lacks licensing probably coz Google wont pay the fees!

So my point is, font put sense down because it is really needed untilled Google get their monies out and put the meat on the bone..
[Desire HD General] shithead:
I hate the wait for updates too, but I really like Sense, even when it's "heavy".
[Desire HD General] oldmanofskye:
I really like Sense, but I think I'm ready to try others launchers - so if everything goes according to the plan I'll have latest CM7 on my phone this weekend. Can't wait.

Ps. "The plan" means finding enough time ;)

[Desire HD General] danhusan:
Personally i have never been happy with vanilla android. Sense is actually quite nice.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
with 2.3.3 already out for Nexus One, I am sure the developer are working hard on a perfect Custom Rom 2.3 build :D pretty sure it will be even better then stocks, no need to wait :D

On the related subject, whats the practically of CyanogenMod7 on Desire HD atm? Anyone?
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
I feel CyanogenMod really strips the DHD of its greatest features.

There's plenty of ram, and plenty of CPU power to run it. I haven't had any lag whatsoever running Android Revolution HD w/ Sense and Buzz 1.61gHz kernel
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
These stripped great features being?
[Desire HD General] ancola66:
Sense is also nice but it is inconvenient : You always have seven home page that can not be omitted even though you do not use all :(.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
4.0 should be Ice Scream.
[Desire HD General] HoundDK:
Root + CM7 and you're there right now! There's nothing to it.. :)
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
SENCE FFS. If i wanted an aosp device id of bought a NS lol
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
I could do with another homescreen on each side, imo 7 isnt enough. Id like 9 :)
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
I would love to see a CyanogenMod rom with Sense, that would be awsome... but no one seems to have the guts to do it... (I'm trying to pick someone... ihihih)
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
it's got nothing to do with guts, sence requires the htc frameworks.... CyanogenMod uses the Cyanogen framework, which is a modified aosp one :)
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
The update is coming some time in Q2.

Looks like an update?

Hopefully!
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
Perhaps a little wrong thread but it depends on the browser you use, the default one has long-press select text -> click paste to clipboard and so forth.
[Desire HD General] henklbr:
when the new ROM becomes available by HTC (2.3.3 or 2.4), and I update my DHD, must I re-install all my apps again after the update, or will they still be available ?

I've MyBackup Pro installed on my DHD . . . ;-)
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
It depends if the OTA needs you to reinstall all your apps and settings or not...

Maybe as it's a major update version, from froyo to ginger, it will be needed to install everything again...
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
I still think that custom ROM is better.
[Desire HD General] xxfiredratgonxx:
I Agree him, a costum ROM allows many better features as the original ROMS
[Desire HD General] mackemsrule:
Can I be the first to talk about android 2.5, I think they should call it jam donut haha
[Desire HD General] ryanedmunds:
Agreed - would take a lot for more to move from Android Revolution... That being said, new Roms are always welcome as various elements bleed into custom roms.
[Desire HD General] ocbblack:
know something of the official update?

sorry for mi english, i use google translate
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
Official update is announced to be released in a month or two after the launch of desire s and the other new devices. So this would be early summer, or should be :p

I'm using MDJ FroYo HD v.4.1 on my hd2, apart from obviuos battery struggles(..) i encountered a flaw, my speaker does'nt turn on automatically when i place the phone on a surface during a call.

any suggestions??

there is an option under settings>sound called "Flip for speaker".

It's there does not mean it should works. Not all features would work when ported.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Sorry, not an HD user. The fact that you said "in winmo mode it works fine" led me to believe that you just assumed it to work in Android too. Can't help you any further, it's better to search/post in your build thread.

i've never heard of ArsADroid i googled it but didnt really get any good info.

I'm watching an old South Park episode as a result of this app.

It's just a webview of a website, not really a self contained 'app', but either way, the developer clearly put a lot of time into this site.

Plays the episodes/videos just fine with the HTC video player. Works perfectly.

Props for this web site, whatever it is.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] smokedkill:
No, there is no malware in the app. The app was made with Google App Inventor and they don't let apps built with that put on the market yet.

i use net's 4.1.9.1 No HAVS with myn's rom. gives pretty good battery life. you can try the more or less undervolting versions if you like, but they gave me reboot issues.

collins battery tweak is hit or miss. back on myn's rls2 i got it to work once and battery life was amazing. ever since it just eats up my battery.

I think that setcpu should be better. Same thing as Collin but you get to control with setcpu. so you can have it do the same things and when you wanna overclock for performance; you can do so
