Phandroid: HTC to complete 2.2 roll-out by Christmas!

[euph_22]

so if its not verizon or htc's fault that there is no charging dock... who would you say is to blame?

the people who would ACTUALLY make and sell them, Seidio, et al. It's really not the complicated. Is it Ford's fault if I can't find tires I like for my Focus? Or the car lot I bought it from?

No its your fault cause you bought a focus! Lol. I love ford, but their cats suck, they should just stick to the f series.

I think you meant CARS.. and if you did then I completely disagree

i just want an easier method to root, then i can wait for 2.2.

Doesn't the Eris have a 7600?

And TMobile and HTC have said they will be updating the MyTouch 3g to Froyo (which does have a 7201). Probably without Flash, or some other features, but still.

(ok, I'm admittedly being pedantic here )

Same chipset, but a CDMA version

7201 (gsm) = 7600 (cdma)

Folks, Droid X will be constrained as well. Bank on it. Like the Inc, demand will be greater than supply, but at least no gates due to amoled displays

Waits will be less, but still there WILL be some waits.

 

[rushmore]

dupe post. sorry

First, their telling people to consider the Droid X probably has nothing to do with any issues except for the unavailability of screens, and the 4-6 week back order. If they get a faction of people to switch, it's that much closer to getting them in stock. And the apparent OTA, that provides 720p video amongst other things, should be clear that they ARE supporting the phone. As you can imagine, HTC has probably focused alot more on production and sourcing problems thus far.

There is a lot of sense in this post!

There are any number of reasons why a VZW rep would "steer" someone calling about an Incredible toward an X. Off the top of my head, they make a "sale" on something that will be available in a week saving them from having to discuss or explain the back order situation of the Incredible. And, selling X's will help alleviate the back orders on the Incredible allowing them to catch up.

It does not always have to be something sinister.

Also as mentioned above, we have 2 updates coming this half of the year...An HTC update to address signal/call quality issues experienced by some and the 720p video and then later, the 2.2 (Froyo) update.

Not to mention that both of these phones might just represent the last hoorah for 3G Android Smartphones on VZW's network.

i dunno man, i have always bought official blackberry charging docks from the verizon site or blackberry directly. htc has an official dock for the EVO at launch available at best buy. the droid X has an official motorola dock. there is none for the incredible, though rumors persist. most phone users have never heard of seidio. this is nothing like tires, besides you can get tires at a dealership just fine, wtf.

Not to be a party pooper, but the HTC guy says that he HOPES that they'll have Froyo out by Christmas. That's not a promise.

It's going to be a never ending cycle of disappointment which is why I stopped caring and accepted my phone for what it is and no longer look forward to updates.

When we get froyo, 3.0 will probably be released and everyone will be pissed off that they don't have that.

HTC Wildfire, Incredible, EVO 4G to get Android 2.2 by December Boy Genius Report

looks like we'll be getting it in december, guys. (we all know "by december" probably means "definitely december")

it also looks like i'll be jumping ship to the most attractive, Vanilla 3.0 loaded superphone if it doesn't happen by November, which i'm willing to bet it won't.

*it's a damn shame too... i love this phone.

 

[euph_22]

There's a thread discussing this already. They actually link to what the HTC guy ACTUALLY said.

 

[Divine_Madcat]

Wow.. that must be some circular weird female logic there (no offense to women. ) to jump to the idea that "by December" means "definitely December". Patience; we have already had word (from HTC) that the EVO and Inc are the first HTC phones to get 2.2,a nd i really doubt we will be waiting till Dec...

 

[Wiggin21]

link?

 

[rezeew]

(we all know "by december" probably means "definitely december")

You're very trusting. I assume "by december" means "maybe April, if you're lucky."

hey now! i hope you weren't just calling me a woman right now...

 

[rapidsandroid]

Watch the arguing...I got banned for 3 days under the zero tolerance policy last week for saying even less in a thread. Maybe I should have put a smiley in the post to subdue it. LOL
I am sure HTC is working as fast as they can to get 2.2 out to us and work well with Sense. They seem like a responsible company, just we Americans are sooo impatient.

 

[Wiggin21]

anyways, i went an actually read the source article, and he said the "6 month" lag times are gone now, and that the jump from 2.1 to 2.2 is much smaller than 1.5/6 to 2.1. so, we're only what, a week in? my hopes are back up and running again.

 

[TheGoatLantern]

to merge or trash? hmm that is the question...

 

[Cobra5]

to merge or trash? hmm that is the question...

I vote merge!

 

[jamor]

Well considering the same thing happened with the Eris and Hero - I think it's suffice to say that this is bad news for Android owners and the future.

We will always be behind by about year unless we buy Google phones (which we can't because they are GSM).

Oh well! Time to forget about it. No point in worrying or getting mad about something completely out of our control.

 

[necosino]

Fortunately that's what we have root access and ROM loaders for

 

[FramCire]

THE GUY SAID IT WONT be like the upgrade to 2.1

Read exactly what he said. He was more saying they would be all done with froyo by Christmas and be focusing on gingerbread.

Nowhere was he suggesting it would be December.
Here is the part people are skipping over:


Indeed, he suggests that the updates are going quicker than could be expected: "I don’t think you’re going to see that really long six month, seven month lag, like you saw in the updates from 1.5 to 2.1, simply because it’s a less severe change.
"Switching from 2.1 to 2.2, they made a lot of tweaks, but they didn’t make any gigantic changes, so it should be a much swifter process".

 

[FramCire]

Also, it need to be noted that the guy who was speaking was talking about ALL Froyo updates being done by December. He is the GLOBAL HTC guy. Not North America or USA. So, unless Incredible is the last HTC devise in the world getting froyo, we should have it well before December.

 

[euph_22]

And as long as the MyTouch 3g is getting Froyo, we will not be the last ones. No Sense, but a LOT less phone to work with. And there's the Aria, which has sense but a lot less RAM and processor. And since we are so similar to the EVO, we probably will be first (or second).
