There Will Be No 2.2 From Cricket For Ascend

(((((((mad:


Is somebody still working on an Android 2.2 Port???

 

Yes, there are people on the MyAscend forums working on Froyo ports.

 

I thought that Huawei was the one who is going to release any update anyways? It will just have to be a manual update...

 

[/LIST]

I really hope so cause I'm tempted to download the chinese version, but then again if it's not recommended I don't wanna ruin my phone.

 

All my friends who have this phone, Have tried it. They've all had to revert back to the original 2.1...

 

I'm really sad over this news. But i will rock the Ascend until they get that new one later this year, or i may rock it more than that. I love this phone and if someone does come up with a ROM based off of 2.2. than i'll rock it for a year or so. *crossing fingers*

 

This is the least surprising news I've heard all year. Who would have thought cricket would screw over their customers? The funny part is cricket saying they had people "working on it". Yeah I'm sure cricket had their crack team of coders and programmers all over that. The only thing that surprises me about this is the timing. I thought they would have strung us along a little longer. That must mean the new 2.2 phones are ready to drop soon. To all the people who are upset about this: relax, it's not that big of a deal. Most of the cool features of froyo wouldn't work on our phones anyway. If you really want a change, get icarus. At least now I can uninstall the apps I have frozen without worrying about it. Still, another black eye for cricket. I was hoping they would prove me wrong.

 

Yeah thats the truth!!!

 

There hasn't been an announcement from MetroPCS like this, that I'm aware of. That means there's still a decent chance of a somewhat "official" 2.2 ROM for the Ascend.

The only thing I really cared about from 2.2 was Apps2SD, which I now have with the Icarus ROM.

 

This post is not entirely accurate! Cricket DOES have a facebook page and this is what they have posted in answer to a question about the Ascend 2.2 upgrade:

Cricket Facebook Page



Cricket Wireless Hi Greg - We currently have a 2.2 update for Zio coming soon. Updates to devices such as Ascend from Huawei are at the discretion of the device manufacturer where one will be available and not the carrier. We'll keep you posted on any further developments.

~~~~~~~~~~~

This was posted 4 hours ago from the time and date of this post. So Ascend users...don't ditch your phones just yet.

 

Did you see this?

Having the title of the thread say "There Will Be No 2.2 For CRICKET Ascend" probably would have helped clarify that in the beginning. Of course, since both carriers have the phone, people are going to think they're tied together. At least that's what I've seen across 3 different forums in the month or so I've been involved.

 

Aye, I noticed that, but I'm sure not many others did. I'm speaking from knowledge of how peoples' minds usually work.

Speaking of not having edited the original post, I believe that completely because I almost never see an edited post from you. Instead, I see double and triple posts! Spam much?

 

Two factors:

1. The title of your thread states: There will be no 2.2 for Cricket Ascend

- Please provide a link to your source for this as well as copying and pasting the post from there.

- Also, in no way did Cricket state there would be no 2.2 for the Cricket Ascend.

2. If you look at the post I copied and pasted from the Cricket Wireless Facebook fanpage you will see that the Cricket Rep stated that updates such as the one for the Ascend would be coming from the manufacturer. He never said there would be no update.

See...that's why this is so misleading and inaccurate.

 

I deleted a couple posts as requested. I also changed the thread title as it could have been misleading.
