I hope that dhd will get it as soon as possible, but wouldn't be surprised if Samsung s get's it first considering cooperation of Google with them on new G phone.
[Desire HD General] mero01:

Me too. I haven't donated yet if this happens ill be sending beer money to the boys for sure :)

I only started using CM last-night and i am already in-love :)
[Desire HD General] jords12:
Maybe... But then again, I doubt google let samsung anywhere near the software for the nexus s. At least, I sure wouldn't after the galaxy's "interesting" software decisions.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Unfortunately the N1 was pretty much the same as the Desire. And was built by HTC. Now the situation is a little bit different having Google cooperating with the plastic-toy manufacturer ;). Then again I doubt Galaxy S will get 2.3 sooner than the DHD, because they got to 2.2 about a month ago.
[Desire HD General] mehmehmen:
Plus in all fairness we all kno that Samsung products are for females... lol DHd's are a man thing :p

Lol meh
[Desire HD General] raecarter82:
I'm not that fussed on gingerbread tbh. I have had sense since the hero but have tried many vanilla roms. Now you can change "skins" on the dhd and with not a huge increase in an already blistering device for me its not that important?
[Desire HD General] Omibus:
anything new about Android 2.3 on the Desire HD?
[Desire HD General] Mraedis:
Looking forward to an official update. :p Leaked one is still a bit buggy.
[Desire HD General] o1s3:
According to SlashGear, a HTC spokesperson disclosed that HTC will be rolling out Android Gingerbread update for HTC Desire HD, Desire Z, Desire and Incredible S in Q2, that is by the end of June.
[Desire HD General] Leechoonhwee:
U can use Titanium Backup to restore all installed apps regardless of e ROM.
[Desire HD General] MatthewJackal:
Does Titanium Backup requires root access?
[Desire HD General] vlad1995:
There is already a AR HD version with 2.3.2: AR HD 4 ß x. And I think its almost perfectly stable :)
[Desire HD General] ricebus:
you guys better go for the cyanogen roms cause the sense ones are alow as hell :|
[Desire HD General] joshoon:
ASTRO File Manager can backup all your programs into a folder on ur SD with all the .apk's.

Without root, coz Titanium needs rooted.

But I still prefer to note all ur programs on paper, and install them back via the market, coz if u use ASTRO File Manager, and u install them all again, then the market won't recognize them, and will not auto update applications.
[Desire HD General] foxmeister:
Which is why it is worth rooting and using Titanium, because Titanium can restore Market links.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire HD General] joshoon:
True.

But not everyone likes to root their phones :P
[Desire HD General] one winger:
Yeah this happened me alright, but still have to say that Astro is a great program
[Desire HD General] ipkryss:
I think the applications will sync with market after a while.. seems to take a while though.

The 2.3 Gingerbread update for DHD is sometime in Q2 of this year so expect the official to come out sometime within April - June.

Gingerbread update for HTC Desire HD reaching SA by March end

Not sure if this has been posted already but has anyone seen this? Hopefully it means it's round the corner for everyone else too (fingers crossed)

.... ok, just tried to post the link but the system is not allowing me to post links just yet as I've only joined recently but do a search for

"Gingerbread update for HTC Desire HD reaching SA by March end"

and you should find a link on androidos for the link I'm talking about.

Cheers,

AndroidFreud

This is what the link says:

South African HTC distributer Leaf International has revealed that Desire HD will receive Gingerbread update by the end of this month, while Desire Z and original Desire will be getting update in April/May.

HTC has already announced that all the Desire devices will be getting Android 2.3, but this is the first time that a local distributer has given a time frame.
[Desire HD General] Diamondback:
That would be nice! =) The current Testbuilds of Gingerbread with Sense are quite usable, so it's possible I think.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
I wonder if you ever talk sense.
[Desire HD General] Emaldiom:
If you have rooted your phone, installed new raidio and all that to install custom rooms (Android Revolution) , will you still be able to update your phone with the official 2.3 room when its released ?
[Desire HD General] shithead:
I think the answer is no, but not sure how HTC check the devices for updates.
[Desire HD General] Emaldiom:
can anyone confirm this please ?
[Desire HD General] matzestinks:
No OTA updates for rooted devices.
[Desire HD General] Emaldiom:
And you cant Un-root your device ?

By that i mean get your device back the same way it was the day you got it
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
Yes you can, there are threads in XDA which will guide you and provide all information on it....:)
[Desire HD General] sensei4631:
2.3 in AUS.

When will we be receiving the 2.3 update in Australia?
[Desire HD General] biohaz55:
If you mean the official DHD rom from HTC then I guess you would be better asking HTC or your carrier as we are users on these forums and don't know the answer you seek.

There are several very good custom Gingerbread roms available for the DHD in these forums but they are not official, they may void your warranty and you need to know exactly what to do to flash them. If you choose to install a custom rom then please read the forums, gather all the information and tools required and make sure you're comfortable with what you are about to do before starting.
[Desire HD General] nathsgames:
No need to wait mate.

Search these forums and you can have it now!
[Desire HD General] sromer:
Whenever it gets released by HTC, we usually get the updates at the same time as Europe, but it depends if your phone is Unbranded and if you got it with Vodafone

This offtopic, but i see you're with Virgin Mobile.

Any chance you could pm me your mobile internet/mms settings ?

I've had my DHD since December and haven't been able to get MMS to work :confused:
[Desire HD General] nathsgames:
done

http://ausdroid.net/apns/#virgin
[Desire HD General] vissili:
Two months back, i was facing the same problem. But then by calling customer service it came to my knowledge DHD is not officially supported by Virgin Mobile (regarding internet). It was a huge disgrace for DHD. I told them i wana cancel my services which offcourse are on contract. So they were the one responsible for my termination. After 200 years of discussion, finally a senior official came into front line and he emailed me a pdf file with all the settings in it. After applying all those settings, MMS and INTERNET are working good. Just give me your email address and i will mail it to you as it is. Look for "Virgin Mobile internet settings" and so for the mms.
[Desire HD General] vissili:
oh already provided :p
[Desire HD General] sromer:
I tried those and when i try to send a MMS i get "Unable to Send Message After Several Attempts: Generic Network Failure"

my email is ram_lives@optusnet.com.au

It was working a couple of months ago, but it just randomly stopped
[Desire HD General] nathsgames:
Virgin are hopeless.

I have had a Galaxy S, Dell Streak and now the DHD with them (bought from OS all of them), but I don't even go to them for anything anymore, I just read and try and read and try..

The DHD with the Ausdroid settings also worked with the Streak, but anyway, to get this thread back on track, I will email you some links.

we here are still waiting for the 1.84 update.

[Desire HD General] mathrania:
I got the reply from HTC, they said it will be available in Q2 2011. So expecting it soon.
[Desire HD General] Phillmitchell:
after my response from htc i decided to root s-off and flash cutom roms immediately
[Desire HD General] mr.r9:
The proper way, the XDA way :D
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
Guys, if your really desperate for 2.3, just root :D.

I've been running with RCmixHD 2.3.3 Sense Rom for a few weeks now and I would highly recommend it.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Q2 is not necessarily that soon. June 30,2011 is the last day of Q2, and something tells me HTC will not release it until then. As for rooting, well that is not really the best solution for those who don't want to tinker with the phone and void the warranty. :mad:
[Desire HD General] mathrania:
Cant seem to find it...can you send me the link... i tried the search thing and looked at the forum thread too....or did i miss it?
[Desire HD General] Djisss:
It seems we wont see Android 2.3 (GingerBread) on our DHD since the half of May according to SFR French Operator. It will be a branded OTA for SFR's DHD, here is the link : Link

According to a customer, HTC answered him by email that the "official" release will occur before the end of June, here.

Personnaly, I think HTC will release the OTA one or two weeks after the SFR OTA, because of commercial agreements with SFR (they did it once with the HTC Legend)...
[Desire HD General] Phillmitchell:
from htc uk facebook

HTC UK Hi Jakob, the Android 2.3 update for HTC Desire HD will be out before the end of June, so please watch this space! We really appreciate your patience.
[Desire HD General] Henshinagogo:
But surely they should keep their promise of updating unbranded DHD's first, especially since we didnt get the other update and I STILL have to go onto my message app to find out whether I've received anything. If it come in May i'll physically throw my DHD towards Taiwan in hope of hitting Peter Chou (CEO) in the head, he can fly it back with 2.3 on it.
[Desire HD General] neo.power:

I can't get over the amount of members of this forum who are afraid/wont root there phones..
[Desire HD General] letom:
I can't blame them tbh, and it's not just about being afraid it's also about time. I waited until a bout 3 weeks ago (had my DHD for 5 months) before rooting, mainly because I had no time and to be honest the phone out the box works flawlessly great. Obviously no I've rooted, I'm flashing roms, radios and kernels and the device is more than amazing, and obviously i can't go back :p
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
I'm in that situation too had the phone for about 5 months too, and currently on build 1.72 its pretty I'm sure u heard that a million times. I have no time to root the phone and try different rom. I'm waiting for 2.3 to come out and wait for custom Rom based on that before trying to find some time.
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
Devs already have Sense Gingerbread working the DHD... try RCMixHD or CoreDroid HD, you cannot be dissapointed :)

It makes it faster and use less battery... not much better!
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Get over it! I don't want to void the warranty, plain and simple. :confused:
[Desire HD General] DN41:
You can get your warranty back by uninstalling all that stuff.

But my opinion is like yours ;)

The risk, which is always there, is too high for me as I'm only a poor pupil ;)

I like a stock DHD more than a bricked one ;)

I know the risk isn't very high..but guys, you know :)

So let's wait for the official Gingerbread Update.

HTC promised it for Q2, so it has too come out soon ;)

DN41
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Check the warranty terms. Is there anything about software mods? No. Then does rooting involve hardware mods? No. So rooting does not void warranty. I actually called HTC and asked about it.
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
Well, there is a ROM leak, a Desire HD, Gingerbread ROM. It's not an official release, but it is believed it is the same as the official release will be, or at least very close to the official one.

Because it's a leaked rom, only rooted phones can use it though. But I do not think it will take long before HTC sends out the update.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
Yeah I mean the risk of briking the phone (Ok not for rooting, but flashing). If you do so, HTC will do a **** to repair your phone :D

And yeah, the risk is small, but its there.

DN41
[Desire HD General] Phillmitchell:
Been told on my my facebook update by end of june so thats another 2 months wait.Also been told changing software voids warranty.
[Desire HD General] FabioRochapt:
30 of june is also what i heard.
[Desire HD General] FabioRochapt:
Just dont drop ur phone and ull be fine.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
But there's still the brick risk ;)

As I said I know it's quite small, but it's there and i have no money to buy a new one.

DN41
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
My friend's desire developed an issue with the camera lens and HTC wouldn't fix it under warranty because he was running cyanogen. He switched back to stock and went to a different HTC center and (according to him) they could still tell from the install date that he used to run a different mod.
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
You're being totally unreasonable. As far as I heard there was only guy who bricked his DHD so far, and that was with doing something completly wrong on his own.

You're either being a baby or have a history of being completly useless at any simple task :D

Put it simple - You can't brick it, especially if you're scared of doing anything outside the guides posted here.

EDIT: [No offence to anyone]

[Desire HD General] Foladko:
I didn't mean to offend anyone here.

And I'm sorry if it seems that way.

Seriously DN41, following the guides here, you have zero chance of bricking it.
[Desire HD General] ralflau:
i have flashed many 2.3 roms such as Leedroid, CM, MDJ and Coredroid.

i think it is easy safety.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I think your friend was bs'ing you, you can within warranty try and recover a software issue by flashing the appropriate RUU it's what they are for.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
Yeah I came from an HD2 over here.

While comparing them, I recognzied that it was much easier to flash things on the HD2 than on the DHD...just my opinion.

And since my DHD isn't at least one year old, I'm not willing to flash anything :D

Sorry, just my opinion.

I'm scared, becouse i have a problem with speaker... I hope they will repare it under waranty...
[Desire HD General] vissili:
Chance of bricking up your device is like 1 in 300. Device may brick but be assure you are not THE ONE :).

Well if I can do it without bricking my phone anyone can

Well, if you really want it now, that's possible using the RUU here : topic link to XDA.

Direct download link here.

The leaked RUU is the official one, updating your DHD (unbranded) to Android 2.3.3, with Sense 2.1 ^^

(don't need to be root or anything else, it's an official HTC RUU for WWE DHD)

Installed this afternoon for me, and very glad of this update !
[Desire HD General] sromer:
I would, but i read somewhere that if i use the RUU i'll lose all my apps/settings.

So i'm just gonna wait for the OTA update

I second that! There should be no reason I know of why people wouldn't put this on there phones
[Desire HD General] MrDamBeaver:
Having a branded Telus DHD, not sure if this update will apply to me, I might have to wait for the OTA. Anybody knows otherwise?

Just create a goldcard (takes about 5 minutes) and then run the ruu and it should work

[Desire HD General] ATGardner:
at the moment I am on 1.72.405.3

rooted, with s-off and eng-off and all those things I don't really understand but I once did.

And I wonder if the update with the OTA will work like that, and if it does, whether I will still have root and those "offs" afterwards...

---

Now I am all confused. The OTA also has 1.72.405.3 - and so does my phone at the moment (And I haven't installed it yet) - so what does that number even mean?
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
Just downloaded and installed the OTA update a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, I have no internet connection through wifi any more...

Other than that the update seems ok.
[Desire HD General] shithead:
This is a known bug ...
[Desire HD General] shithead:
This is the new update for devices with 1.72.405.3.

In some countries HTC has never released the (buggy) 1.72 update. They were still on 1.32.

I think HTC has probably 2 version of the new update, one for 1.32 devices and another one for 1.72 devices, like yours ;)
