Welcome Night735,

Glad you got it working, which ROM did you use?

I am too also a t-mobile debranded Desire user with Froyo 2.2

And yes I too feel for Voda users
 
Can anyone enlighten me on one question: the "leaked" FroYo for Desire is with HTC Sense or not? Still can't quite catch it from posts all around...
 
ok, so this may have been done before and i apologise if that's the case but here's my story. i have the desire in the UK with orange. my phone came from CPW and is unbranded and NOT sim locked (tried 3 sim in it and it works fine). here's my problem - when i check for updates my phone reports it is up to date. i'm dying to get froyo and appstoSD so this is really frustrating me. does anyone know how i can get the official update by any other means??? any help is much appreciated
 
i'm on a t mobile branded desire and reading ppl's comment it seems like there is not much point in me waiting patiently for t-mobile's release.

so i should just debrand and install?
 
As I said a week ago, no one bothers reading. It will come on Virgin the same time as T-Mobile. Virgin have already confirmed its being tested, they want it out before the other main networks too

T-mobile customer services have said they will be serving up a large portion of frozen yogurt in September,so relax:D
 
I'm beginning to think their is no benefit to getting an unbranded phone, supposedly quicker updates... p'AH

Although I havn't seen the crap that Orange has put on the phone with no warranty intact way of removing it all.

I don't want to have to wait any more but I have already had to return my desire twice. as my sd card module seems to keep failing stoping me accessing the card. So I am unwilling to risk my warranty at the moment.

I was also hoping that they would just install 2.2 whilst fixing it... No joy there either.

For anyone in my situation having to return your phone under warranty - do it direct through HTC rather than cpw, as they hold on to it for 2 out of the 3 weeks it was away from me.
 
Well two days after flashing mine, I've still seen no sign of the 2.2 OTA update.

I'm starting to wonder whether HTC have pulled it for the time being. Has anyone here had a 2.2 OTA update in the last few days?
 
I e-mailed HTC seems they cannot send 2.2 OTA update en mass (overload)
said to be patient
 
Now iam abit confused now reading all these threads...i purchased this phone brand new as a upgrade from someone who was on t mobile uk...however when i got the phone, i placed my orange sim card in it and it worked perfect so iam guessing its unlocked but what is unbranded? abit confused.

now i see a 2.2 update when i go to software updates? ive not yet updated cause of the bad reviews on here..should i or will it cause more issues.

cheers

Unbranded = doesn't have any custom firmware on the phone that the network bundled with the phone.

Unlocked = works with any network.

This is help and support forum, people only tend to post here when they have a problem. There's thousands and thousands of people who have updated that aren't having problems... you just don't see them because they're not posting.

Personally I would recommend the update. Had a couple of minor hiccups but the upgrade has been more than worth it for me.
 
How comes, that some in EU seeing the 2.2 OTA, but others not? I'm in Estonia, phone is not branded or sim-locked, and "no update .. blah blah".
 
As I said further up the post my phone is also unbranded and sim free I also see the 2.2 OTA in EU but HTC are telling me that they cannot send this 2.2 OTA software out to everywhere in the world at the same time, only the technical folks at HTC know how it all works all they say is to be patient it will come

I'm new to the android phone market i wondering if unlock my telus htc desire and change providers e.g. fido will i still have to use the telus simcard to get the android update or can I download it over the air from htc
 
Very strange !!! My wife and me got each one a Desire (same provider) she got the new OS 2.2 to be downloaded under Settings-About phone- System software updates (which she did and its working perfectly fine). But on mine it just says "Your phone is up to date" but I still have version 2.1 (both phones are not locked) ... mystery ?????
 
new desire maybe owner here, a question. How are these updates added? Do they download automatically as soon as your phone is on, thus wasting your GPRS if you're not in a wifi area, or do you download it manually from your pc?
 
Elwood42: nobody knows the asnwer.. I bought my phone couple days ago, and no OTA available for it. Not branded or sim locked. Mystery!

Menu, settings, about phone, system software updates and you''ll be informed if you have an update or not. It wont waste any of your gprs as you have to select download for it to happen. In fact it advises you to do it over wifi if i recall.
