Then when you go to name the title of your new thread it shows threads that have similar content, again missing the obvious title names. So I created a thread accordingly. I was in meetings all afternoon and off the grid, and when Engagdet updated the article the time stamp changed to 7:35PM. I really thought it just came out and that I was first to the punch.

Hey mods, have you ever heard of this or experienced anything like this before, I know that I'm crazy but I didn't think I was delusional!

My rock is getting cramped under here :/

Ahhhh, I see!!!! The problem is you should have gotten the one with bigger GeeeeeBeeeeeeez and has the wifis

I'm willing to bet that at around 11:38pm tonite, there will be 3-5 posts complaining about the update not being out early. then at 12:01am, there will be 6 more threads on how Sprint didn't keep their promise though we all know they role out the update around 6:30-8am eastern time. the banter will continue all night until some people do update and then realize they just lost their root in which 8 help me reroot threads will appear.

wagers anyone?

Anywho, thanks OP, can't WAIT till it's rooted! I think I'll actually do the XDA version to see what all the fuss is about.

Google (Open Source)
XDA (Open Source)
Unrevoked (Closed Source)

I don't know about a versus but some people want to share and others simply don't. I seem to remember a lot of people losing 4g etc from running the unrevoked when the last OTA came out. I guess that's the risk you take when only a couple people even know what the code is and what is happening.

Re: HTC EVO 4G Android 2.2 Froyo Release 7/30
 
I'd rather have the Official Sprint FroYo ROM. I can't see a reason to flash another ROM when this will have everything working and have 2.2, AND the update is going to stop all tehtering/hotspot workarounds.

Much more on topic though, I've heard rumors of August 3rd now. Is it July 30th or August 3rd?

HTC Evo 4G Getting Android 2.2 FroYo on August 3
Today, 6:48 PM by Philip Berne

Sprint has announced that its first WiMAX handset, the HTC Evo 4G, will also be the first carrier offering to push Android 2.2, or FroYo, to owners. Starting next Tuesday, August 3, Evo 4G owners will begin to receive the over-the-air update. Android 2.2 offers numerous performance improvements, including improved Web browsinng with Flash 10.1 support. The update will also let users voice dial over Bluetooth and install certain applications on the phone's external memory, instead of using the smaller internal memory storage. Sprint also says users can update manually by navigating to the Settings > System Updates menu on their devices.

I am looking forward to the Bluetooth fixes. I have been using a Blue Ant Q1 and switched today to the T1. It does announcement of phone calls and limited voice commands. Tomorrow's update should make it a usable feature set.

Re: HTC EVO 4G Android 2.2 Froyo Release 7/30
 
hmm... I'm rooted.. and since I did it since day 2 of owning my evo.. I honestly can't recall which root i'm using.

honestly.. other than the pdanet I'm using to bypass sprint's money hunger of having to give them an extra 20-30 bucks per month to use the phone as a tether to my PC, I'm not doing much else with it.

I think I'm more rooted because I want to be the controller of my device.. yah it's a control thing.

not sure what I'm going to do on Friday if and when the 2.2 comes out.. I can tell you not being able to voice dial with my BT is annoying. "sorry your device doesn't support voice dialing through BT" or something similar.

enough rambling.. bring on the update and I'll try to exhibit some patience for roots.

aman1127 07-29-2010 09:47 PM

Yeah, I'm glad our developers can finally fix the same recurring issues that plague most froyo roms out there

If I'm fully rooted would I have to do anything to do the froyo update or would it just write over everything return it to stock and be possibly root protected?
