Looks like it's out on Vodafone for branded phones.

I'm being offered an update but haven't run it yet as i'm at work and not on wi-fi. So it's probably Froyo, but I can't say for certain.

japester · Aug 3, 2010

Me too - Just got a notification - damn the fact i'm at workwith no WiFi! Will have to wait till tongight then!

Well done Vodafone!

Got unbranded desire from mobiles.co.uk (CPW) on T-mobile.
Spent ages clicking the updte, but rebooted the phone, pressed the maually update, said no updte, then few secs later the update popped up!

OK - impatient - downloading now

japester · Aug 3, 2010

Ok - rebooting a few times - there's now a great big Voda logo on boot! I didn't want that! Still waiting for update process to complete......

japester · Aug 3, 2010

So - all appears to have gone smoothly. Backup was taken automatically before the update. Voda logo on boot now (hmm) and a prompt to restore the settings automatically.

Currently looking at a "restoring your data and settingd from the backup..." screen......

I wonder what other bloat Vodafone have added.

japester · Aug 3, 2010

I'll let you know when the restore has finished - still flipping at it! :eek:

MF DROID · Aug 3, 2010

i have the update on voda, just downloading it now

jimdriver2 · Aug 3, 2010

Bad news its not Froyo, just a load of VF branding and apps you can't remove. I'm waiting before I install it, hopefully there will be a big back lash & it will get changed.

This has me considering rooting.

japester · Aug 3, 2010

Jimdriver2 is right - Bloatware ahoy. Voda music store, shop, 360, web and slash screen.

No 2.2 :mad:

Boo Vodaphone!

MF DROID · Aug 3, 2010

just got this as reply on twatter when i asked if it was froyo

"I'm afraid not, you can see more about the update here -

HTC Desire - Android 2.2 Coming Soon... - Vodafone eForum - Page 9 "

Beans · Aug 3, 2010

still no froyo update here in the philippines

skoodbeef · Aug 3, 2010

Is there any way to go back to settings before
We installed this pointless vf branding update??
Wish I'd had a look on here before I got all excited
And downloaded this crap........
Voda have just f****d everyone over.

I don't know if it's similar to Japan, but there's a tweet from the head marketing guy for Softbank here saying that the Japanese version of 2.2 will be out around November. So maybe they're not finished tweaking it for Asian languages, or something?

Still... :mad:

What did the initial 'there's an update' screen say? I'm pretty sure it made it quite clear I was installing Android 2.2 when my unbranded Desire received it, so surely this Vodafone update would have said something different.

I hope 3 dont pull a voda and push out a branding update (that was very nasty of them IMO). I'm quite happy on the unbranded\unlocked one I have on 2.2 thank you very much!!!

The minute so they've put this rubbish out there.

Ha! Yeah, beware of updates from 3! The sneaky Voda people may have started something there.......

MF DROID · Aug 3, 2010

I somehow managed to get Froyo onto my Orange branded phone last night.

It is not necessary to purchase an unlock code - see my thread here: http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/140486-how-i-beat-network-sim-lock-my-phone-free.html
