It's ok, I've remembered.
Orange branded and suprise suprise, my phone is upto date lol :D

I'm sure someone on orange said they'd recieved theirs...... oh well, back to the JD and coke :D
come on, how come?! i want this update sooo bad :/ when did u buy your handset? did the phone notify you about the update or have you checked manually? and... ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE BRANDED?
 
Here's my "Software Information" that I am trying to go to 2.2 FROM:

Firmware version
2.1-update1

Baseband version
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel version
2.6.29-0cb9f166

Build number
1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys

Software number
1.21.405.2

Browser version
WebKit 3.1

I am on T-Mobile, have debranded using a Gold Card. What do I need to do to get this update onto my handset and avoid all the re-boot loops, etc?
 
apparently a bunch of people with orange got the update. but then a question has to be asked: what can i do to get this update?!
 
so has anyone with an orange branded handset got the update or is it debranding time? after speaking to oranges stupid call centre no one has a clue whats happening and all i got was an idiot talking about handset upgrades :s
 
im currently on software 1.15.405.4, will i need to update to 1.21.405.2 before froyo appears?

I think you will. I have been ignoring an upgrade to 1.21 for just over a month and updates today didn't show 2.2 I've just done the upgrade to 1.21, checked again and now the 2.2 upgrade has been offered.
 
Flash seems to work really well, tried the demo from the adobe site.

Does anyone know how to stop the browser going to the mobile version of "certain" sites rather than the full blown site?
 
Working nicely here with my unbranded UK CPW handset, even though I'm currently in Kazakhstan.

Although the weather widget does seem to have a glitch in terms of getting my location right. Anyone any idea where Enbekshilder is?

its in your internet settings. Open the browser , press Menu > More > settings > untick mobile view
 
I have a Virgin mobile uk handset, have rooted (just to see if i could) but done nothing else and hence still on 1.15 version - does anyone else on Virgin know when the update might be out or would i be best just installing another rom?

All input appreciated as i really want some froyo goodness.
 
I think if you download and install as per usual then do the following mate.
menu/settings/applications/manage applications then click on the app and select move to sd card.
Cautionary note though, not all apps will move it depends on the owner of the app i think.
It seems the developers are yet to get on board with this - hardly any can be moved across.
 
Update went really smooth took around 10/15 mins including download, big problem now is i've lost a few apps that dont seem to work on 2.2 :( have mailed the developers though as they are ones i use for my work (photo studio buddy and easy release) hoping they get fixed soon.

Give it alittle time, before we got 2.2 this afternoon only around 5% of android users (N1) had the ability to apps to sd, the more of us now with 2.2 the more devs will add a2sd to their apps (i hope)

good point. would have thought the google apps were sorted now though - google earth hogging 22mb or so - will be interesting to see how quickly things change
 
I couldn't stand not having froyo on my orange branded desire so i have just debranded it and i'm currently installing froyo.


its now asking for the 'sim network unlock PIN'

does anyone know if that a standard pin for the phone or do i have to get the phone unlocked?
 
I've downloaded the update 3 times and every time I press OK to install, the phone switches itself off. Can anyone offer a solution to this?

It did exactly the same with the software update previously and eventually, after I'd been pressing the on/off button, it seemed to work after the 4th or 5th download.

Certainly not smooth or seamless. I've not got a task-killer or anything running in the background. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Edit: Ok I've cracked it now. It seems that my phone is unable to re-boot, instead it just switches off. I found that by hitting the on button immediately after the screen went blank, that seemed to boot it back to life. Also following barq's information on the install process in post 1193 really helped. Thanks barq, your info was invaluable. :)
 
See my post above yours Walton. That may help.

Thanks billy. I can find all that and my details match those of brykins. Will that change when I can update or how will I know? Also as my phone appears to be unbranded should I be able to do it now. I confess to having got a little confused with un/branded; un/locked; un/rooted; gold cards etc. The age factor I'm afraid!
 
Downloading froyo right now.

Mine is a unlocked device from Ebay. Dont know if it is orange or ... :confused:

Should I be aware of anything?
