Well, #1, it hasn't happened yet. Wait for it becoming reality before going FACK!

#2. You can always do it yourself by starting here: Truth Seeker: Trying Cyanogen Mod android on my HTC Magic

Then go here: HTC Magic - CyanogenMod Wiki

If the carrier announce it i call it a fact. It may just be vaporware until it's delivered but does not mean it won't happen. In any way the carrier is just branding the update and not the one actually making it. He just contact the supplier ask for a update and the price tag, offer some cash, supplier says yeay or nay then carrier announce it's on the way when a deal is reach. I don't see any carrier announcing a update that won't see the light of day.

They may not be out in a timely fashion but they are coming out none the less. Does not excuse the tardyness but still is a fact when it's advertise.

I contacted RogersElise to have a look at SFR claim (she is french european) and report back to RogersMary so that she can contact HTC and ask why a 2.2 is coming in EU and not in NA.

The White Wizard's post re the Magic getting 2.2 refers specifically to the French carrier SFR. That being the French carrier in France not in Canada.

Rogers Mary has stated very clearly that the official statement from Rogers is that the Rogers HTC Magic will not get 2.2, even though it is capable of supporting 2.2.

RogersMary said she would have an announcement for us this morning, but a follower on Twitter informs me the update is already available if you manually check for it from your phone.

Can anyone confirm?

mjschmidt · Sep 8, 2010

Okay, it has been confirmed that the 2.1 update is available now. You can get it right away by checking manually, or you can wait until it is pushed to your phone.

i see the update on my phone when i click 'check now' on system updates.

Android 2.1 Platform Upgrade 3.54.631.3 (80.81 MB) This update will require a data connection, Rogers customers will not be charged for this update. Please back up your data first before upgrading your phone. Any questions? Contact HTC @ 1-866-449-8358.

but i'm not updating till it's known what this update does to the phone. xD I learned from the 911 update fiasco last time.

I see you've already found it

Still, I'm happy to confirm that HTC Magic+ Customers should expect HTC to start rolling out 2.1 OS today, OTA.

Enjoy! I'll be reading this thread periodically over the day.

KyleB · Sep 8, 2010

Sweat, I'm downloading it now.
Thanks

Mary, Where is the change log you promised?

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the update!! We'll make sure to post back with any bugs that people are reporting. Hopefully with the testing that was done this time, there won't be any

If I don't have a data plan, can I turn it on and download the update and not be charged for the download?

yes, it gives you the option to choose to connect via WIFI and download it that way too, but it states even if you download it OTA on a Rogers data connection, you wont be billed for the 80+ megs it is.

Anyone know what would happen if you lost data half way through? Auto resume function?

Also, did i read Mary say somewhere earlier this would not delete any data on your phone so long as you already had Sense UI and the e911 update on it already?

Can't believe i yammered so long to get this damn update and now im being so cautious about downloading it :eek:

yes, im one of those crazy people.

A user on Twitter reports the following: WoodlawnTech @IWMOPS @RogersMary currently having problems with upgrade. Triangle with ! in it and phone next to it on screen..... what does this mean?

Anyone else having any problems?

I didn't have any issues downloading. From what I can tell, all my apps are still there but I did lose some of my numbers in my contacts but that's not a big issue for me.

mjschmidt · Sep 8, 2010

RogersMary says users with issues should contact tech Support.

Variant · Sep 8, 2010

Lots of problems so far with the initial boot. I'll update in a few minutes if I can't get things sorted.

skeematic · Sep 8, 2010

Is anyone getting errors regarding insufficient storage when trying to download? I have 114mb right now and since the update is only 80mb, I figure that should be enough.

MidnightWatcher · Sep 8, 2010

No problems here, installed perfectly fine. Just have to personalize my wallpaper / widgets again now but all of my installed apps are still there from what I can see.

I'm getting this error...

Variant · Sep 8, 2010

Took a while to build the homescreen and a couple of errors came up while doing so.

Where are all the new widgets? I don't see any and when I go to "get more HTC widgets", I don't see the ones I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is the news, people, and the new versions of the messages and mail widgets.

Can you check what version of radio do you have

?

Well, here we go... good luck to all.

I am probably not going to update now... OS 2.1 b/c it doesn't store apps on SD (OS 2.2 allows that). No point in downloading an OS that will only take away more memory and further prevent me from installing all my preferred apps.

I said it before, and I will say it again... it truly is a pity that there is so much OS fragmentation and that it is now likely that some Magic owners on other carriers will have OS 2.2 but we at forever stuck with OS 2.1.

It really begs the question...
Mary, if HTC is actually releasing OS 2.2 for the Magic (and variants), why is it unavailable to all Magic owners, regardless of carrier?

BTW, it now appears that the French carrier SFR AND T-Mobile in the U.S. will offer OS 2.2 for the Magic (or MyTouch): http://www.phonenews.com/htc-droid-eris-will-not-updated-to-android-2-2-froyo-12451/
