Anyone know when it's coming? I have a Legend 2.1 on Vodafone and have been promised it for a while now.

No specific date, but It was out for the Nexus One on the 29/6 so not long now *crosses fingers*

Who promised it to you?

History would suggest that HTC are very slow when it comes to providing updates to Android. The only other example so far would be 2.1 for Hero which HTC first started mentioning last October and it is only beginning to roll out now. Who knows if it will be quite so bad for Legend and Desire...

Got mine on my Nexus One via an Over The Air update yesterday

Changing to 2.1 for pre-2.1 phones is actually quite a jump, with a lot of testing required. 2.1 to 2.2 is easy-peasy in comparison so there shouldn't be anywhere near as much for them to do.

Phones with HTC's Sense interface will need a bit of work before they ship the update, but no reason to think there will be the sort of delays we saw for 2.1...

The clueless idiots in Vodafone's outsourced callcentre in Swansea and Cardiff, a company called Conduit. Whenever I ask when it's coming i always get assurances it'll be "any day now" with no-one seemingly able to give any more info than that.

I'd respect them much more if they simply said "sorry I don't know".

What do you loose when you update your handset? Is there anyway of knowing beforehand?

was your phone shipped by vodafone, do you know the build number you moved from

i'm on EPF30

My standard Nexus bought directly from Google also updated on Friday. I *think* my old build was 27 and is now FRF91.

lol, just read your post and 5 seconds later a update for FRF91 poped up.

I obviously can't speak for the Desire update when it comes but the 2.2 update for my Nexus caused no settings or data loss. The only thing I had to re-install was my Swype beta for some reason.

I've been wondering about this as the lack of iPlayer since I switched from a Nokia 5800 to a Desire is getting anoying, although it's a fantastic phone and a huge improvement in every other way.

A quick Google brought up this article:

It says the update will be in Q3, which is anytime from right now til the end of September.

Thanks HTC

PS, they will also be updating Legend and Wildfire as soon as they can, probably at the same time.

No not from Vodaphone .... I bought mine direct from Google back in January.

Can't remember the old build number ... sorry

Look for an app called myplayer on the market. Its a iplayer app

Seems vodafone are ammending the firmware before release. Will be rooting later.

This might help:

For a standard Nexus (I don't know what, if anything, Vodafone do to theirs) this includes a link which explains how you can install the latest firmware directly from the Google servers without needing to root the phone.

You can get myplayer (as above). Some people don't like it, but I have had no probs with it. Some probs seem to be carrier related and others are "but BeebPlayer did this" to which the only response is "go and write your own app then".

Ta but that does not work, it wont let you update fropm EPF30

Back on topic, anyone know how to get it for the Legend?

Until/unless HTC get a ROM out for it, you might be able to find an unofficial "cooked" ROM that takes a lot more work to install and may not be as polished.

Now it looks like Christmas at the earliest I'm afraid. It's the Hero all over again.

Not so much of a big deal, at least for Desire owners.

There is a leaked version of an HTC 2.2 ROM (so they're obviously doing something), and the various "chefs" are working their magic on it.

I am using one of them and it seems to be working great.
