Poor old Joe Hewitt has been having a bit of a hard time on the internet over the last 24 hours, thanks to the Facebook employee being a little critical of Android’s development environment – which many took out of context as an ATTACK ON ANDROID. Well, Joe’s just put the record straight in a [...]
Another piece of the Android 2.1 update jigsaw has fallen into place this evening, with numerous reports from Three users popping up to tell the world that Three has started pushing out the 2.1 update for its branded HTC Hero. Commenters on the Three Blog (and, er, EuroDroid!) are reporting success in downloading the first [...]
This just in from an ENRAGED customer of Orange UK, who has been bravely badgering the network for a date for its over-the-air update for the Orange (black) HTC Desire sold through the network. The result – August 27 has been given out as a date. Here is his tale: “I’ve called Orange several times [...]
Hooray! The Samsung Galaxy Portal, which is a very nice if slightly bland 3.2″ Android phone, launched with Android 2.1 as its OS on the Three network – but the T-Mobile version of the phone has been literally LANGUISHING with Android 1.5 since it appeared in March of this year. But that’s about to change. [...]
If you were up very early this morning in anticipation of Vodafone’s release of 2.2 for its branded HTC Desire, you got lucky. The “FroYo” upgrade for Vodafone Desires went live as promised in the very early hours of the morning. And yes, the 2.2 update does indeed remove the rather unwelcome Vodafone 360 apps [...]
We’ve already had news of a future upgrade to “FroYo” for the European Motorola MILESTONE sort of confirmed by O2, but now we have OFFICIAL WORD from Motorola itself. The MILESTONE will get Android 2.2, with the tortuous task of updating a whole continent’s worth of Android phones to Android 2.2 starting from the end [...]
T-Mobile has today updated its customers (scroll down) on when they can expect the Android 2.2 update to arrive for owners of T-Mobile branded Desires – and the answer is “next month”. So while Vodafone users should get Android 2.2 on Monday, T-Mobile owners are being told/asked to wait until September. Here’s a screencapture of [...]
It’s nearly here. After all the “troubles” of the branding scenario, Vodafone has today put an official date on its over-the-air “FroYo” update for its branded HTC Desire. It’ll start to appear from Monday, August 23. Next Monday. The very next Monday! There’s a massive explanation of the ins and outs and technicalities of the [...]
Vodafone’s doing a rather good job of keeping its angry Desire users notified of the timescale of the “Froyo” update for its HTC Desire these days, with little comment issued early this morning telling everyone it’ll be out in “days, not weeks”. The Android 2.2 update for the network’s (very) branded HTC Desire is currently [...]
We can’t replicate this problem “in house” here, but there’s a MASSIVE thread over on the Google Help Forum filled with users currently unable to download Android apps through the Android Market. It’s been stopping users from across Europe, on all manner of networks and phone combinations, from downloading apps since at least last Friday. [...]
