Is there anyone chasing T-Mobile for a date ? I have an unlocked T-Mobile phone that I use on 3 but have not been able to find any contacts with T-mobile that I can use as I am not a T-mobile customer. Obviously the end of June date has been and gone !!

Got my Hero in Feb on the promise of 2.1 in March, still waiting !

I guess it is some sound bug. Sometimes it takes too long between the call is actually received and the sound rings. I usually have to players paused on my phone (one for music and another for audio books), probably it is too much for it to handle.

the latest date is mid July as they announced on the T-Mobile support forum this week.

I moved from Villain to the stock RUU last night and received the updates right after the phone booted.

I've just noticed that Friend Stream and widgets like Mail are missing. Also at the bottom of the Facebook page is says "download the app for your Desire" ?

Make sure you have HTC Sync installed, otherwise you've no chance lol

The downgrade and 2 installs of 2.1 went fine, thank you OP and all those in thread.

I am finding a few issues.
Market - doesn't remember all my apps, despite me syncing prior to install of generic rom. I used Astro to backup and have reinstalled from that, luckily. Might just be me that one however.
I used SMS Backup and Restore for my texts and it has restored without issue, thank you.

been on contract since november last year

i was just fiddling about with the settings and impulsively checked for software updates - and it came up! no change of time/date.

although i now have been repeatedly told that i am running low on space, so i had to delete about half of my apps.

the update did NOT wipe contacts, SMS, wifi memory, or any settings that i have noticed yet!

i remember it being the same time as many other people as i checked this forum when that happened.

i had been checking for updates fairly regularly - the previous time i checked was probably two days ago, so this was released very very recently.

ED: and i will just say that it is now blisteringly fast (relatively, of course). bearing in mind that before this update i would press an icon on my homescreen and literally have to wait 5-10 seconds before any action.

good luck mate, shouldn't be long now.

PS. be very patient when installing the update, mine stopped on a white HTC screen for about 10 minutes, seemingly doing nothing - i was scared that i had done something wrong and was waiting on the phone to orange

What is the build number number displayed after the update, Stryker? I'm curious as there's been no word anywhere else of Orange handsets receiving an official update.

Your handset is a generic unbranded device then, which explains why you got the update. Thanks for clarifying.

Does not the 405 indicate that it's a non-branded Hero?
