[FALSE. HTC has made 2.2 Avail NOW! 8-2-2010] EVO 4G Froyo 2.2 Update Suspended Indefinitely

[hendodo]

Bummer!

 

[MalloThaPrince]

Seems like the "Hero" all over again..went and got a Hero week before it was actually realeased then same with the Evo and it's DEJA VU...Noooooooo..the runaround for dates for an update lol..C'mon SPRINT!! oh well life goes on folks

 

[tqlla]

Well, I guess I should be glad that I got in on the "Beta".

It seems pretty good to me. I have a Rev3 phone, and havent seen many bugs at all. Battery life seems the same or better.

Sounds like HTC made the call on this one. After that press release, I'm sure Sprint really, really wanted to get Froyo out the door.

 

[neoshi]

might as well just go straight for 3.0 eh?

 

[VGPOP]

What are the chances they take out Sense and give us Nexus One launcher?

Or least give us the option to have both. That would be nice.

 

[facekl]

I just talked to sprint support. Here's what thy had to say. They said it is delayed because new features are being added. Don't take this as fact. Sprint support has a reputation for being wrong

 

[woofermazing]

I would not worry about this taking that much time. The 2.2 RC is very solid. The problems people were having were having aren't unusual for an OS upgrade. Pretty much everything could be cleared up with a factory reset.

I'm thinking the delay is because so many people installed the leaked version, and they are trying to figure out how to roll out two different updates without damaging phones left and right.

So do we have an official link? Sprint support doesn't know their ass's from a hooker's gape ( wow gape was in the FroYo dictionary, but froyo wasn't. )

Anyway, what Sprint posted about FroYo was wrong. Had a release date on July 30. Wrong. So, until I see an official link, I am not convinced. A lot of the people that "confirmed" had less than 10 posts. Yes, there are other vets that talked to support, but I don't believe Sprint tech support as far as I can throw up on them.

 

[cosine83]

No offense guys, but when did we start listening to Sprint Reps for reliable information on phone updates?

 

[christopher561]

As much a I wanted 2.2 to be Released this is probably a really good thing for us. It allows htc/sprint to work out all those little bugs that the leaked version might have had. Dont want to rush perfection. Imo.

yea, but everybody is still gonna blame sprint

The fact that I am running, without issue, the unofficial build helps me to swallow this news a lot easier. They can take their time as far as I am concerned since I imagine that the official build wont be much different if at all.

 

[BrianJB]

Well reguardless...I am waiting till tomorrow, if its not out then...time to install the "unofficial" 2.2 update.

 

[vicshalls]

I hope me asking where you heard it from did not cone across as rude. That was not my intention of anyone thought that. I just wanted to know so I could go check it out. I have not seen that rumor posted anywhere else. Just saying. Guess we will all just have to wait and see. I know for one I will be disappointed but life will go on.

Ditto.

Now I'm waiting on 2.2 for the DroidX so I can get my keyboard back.

Everyone can thank us Beta testers for a cleaner install of Froyo. Otherwise people would have been cursing left and right if they pushed this update out. Not that it isn't stable once you correct everything, but that is just it. It took a lot of us to hard reset our device to get everything working correctly after the update. There was alot of things I guess that might have been incompatible by just upgrading the OS and not clearing everything out.

That is not good for an update that is just suppose to work without a hard reset.

So, for anyone who does not care about hard resetting their device, and not everyone will need to, the leaked 2.2 has worked pretty flawlessly for me over the past few days after the hard reset to bring my camera back.

 

[cosine83]

There's pretty much no reason not to install the Official But Not Really 2.2. If you're rooted, just run Titanium Bakcup to back your stuff up and do a reset and have at the stock rooted ROM. Toss in netarchy's FPS fix kernel and you're solid! I've had no issues at all with it with moderate to heavy usage.

makes me even more glad that i "bit the bullet" and got the beta instead of waiting
and really really glad i got my one issue fixed already without a factory reset and waiting i was planing on waiting for the offical release to see if that would fix my one main problem but its all good now

this does kind of suck though that it had enough problems that HTC had to pull it for now

 

[facekl]

I interrogated a second sprint rep and he also said it has been delayed. Looks like this is true

 

[tqlla]

They probably looked at us "Beta Testers" replicated user errors and said.... hmmm, some of these things needs to be fixed.

Its probably better for everyone that HTC takes their time to make sure that the Software is put out there without too many bugs. Were there many people with critical defects?

Luckily I have 2.2, and its working well ... knock on wood.

 

[BetterMost]

LOL what a sham. The real reason is HTC and Sprint just can't seem to get there act together these days. Evo owners duped once again.

 

[cosine83]

Guys, seriously, Sprint Reps know nothing about phone updates. Anyone remember the Hero and Moment fiascos? Sprint reps were telling people all kinds of things about phone updates that were blatantly false.

 

[neoshi]

Haha I like how you asked "WHO IS YOUR SOURCE?"

You should have added "I am holding a virtual gun to your head. SO SPILL THE BEANS!"

As much as I also distrust Sprint CSRs, seeing multiple CSRs repeat the same line means they've been briefing this morning to convey such information.

 

[wjrandon]

If it's been delayed it's because of the bugs I've been SCREAMING... ahem, reporting about all over the internet forums. LOL
