HTC has the most up-to-date Android phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid
The Android Update Alliance (AUA) was set up back in May to unite phone makers under the umbrella of timely Android updates, but we haven’t heard a word about the idealistic venture since then.
And just a couple of days ago, we saw that Gingerbread is slowly replacing older versions of the platform, but Froyo is still the dominant flavor. So who can you trust for the fastest updates and the most up-to-date Android versions?
AndroidandMe has taken the time to compile a list of Android handsets with their respective versions from every phone maker from the AUA and has drawn some conclusions.
First of all, the list clearly shows that HTC updates its phones most often, while Samsung, LG and Mo...

Images appear of Honeycomb on HTC Flyer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHTCGoogleAndroid 3.0Flyer
It was only a couple of days ago that a RUU (ROM update utility) leaked online that contained an early build of Android Honeycomb to the HTC Flyer, but now the guys over at XDA have turned that RUU into a flashable ROM.
The screenshots show what Honeycomb looks on the HTC Flyer with the Sense user interface. It is very similar looking to the HTC Jetstream currently available on AT&T. At the moment, this ROM is not quite ready to get pushed out to Flyer owners everywhere. However, it is nice to see that it is possible in the future.
When this ROM becomes available will any of you HTC Flyer owners jump at the chance to put it on your tablet? Keep in mind that you would have to root it if you...

HTC Flyer Honeycomb update leaked, custom ROM on the way
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHTCGoogleAndroid 3.0Flyer
HTC Flyer users, how would you like to see Honeycomb powering your 7 inch tablet? Thanks to a leaked Honeycomb ROM Update Utility (RUU), you can head over to the sourcelink and download what is called a "very early beta build" of Honeycomb for the HTC Flyer. Of course, by doing this you might not be able to root your tablet or put it through the wayback machine to load a more stable version of the OS.
If you want to wait for the custom ROM, well that is an option for you as well. If you go ahead and take the risk of downloading the Honeycomb RUU for your HTC Flyer, let us know how it goes by dropping us a comment in the box below!

HTC rep claims Mango update coming in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftHTCWindows Phone 7.5
The most frequent question we get these days is when the Mango update will be pushed out by Microsoft.
We Love Windows Phone .HK have posted this excerpt from a conversation with a HTC customer service rep posted by WPXAP, a Chinese Windows Phone Forum, which goes some way to answering that question.
In the conversation the rep claims, based on internal emails, that HTC has completed the OEM customization of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, and that this is just awaiting Microsoft certification before being pushed out.
The rep claims the update will definitely be arriving in September, but could however not pin it down even more closely.
Of course for most people the day the update arrives depends.....

DFT and Orange Team together create HTC HD2 ROM which can be updated normally by Microsoft
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftHTCHD2HD2 USWindows Phone 7
The Dark Forces Team and Orange Team have combined their forces and achieved the seemingly impossible – they have created a ROM for the HTC HD2 which can be updated normally like any other Windows Phone 7 handset over the Zune desktop client.
Beyond this the ROM also retains Root and ChevronWP7 status, meaning users are both free to edit the registry and side-load applications.
Lastly the ROM also allows custom packages to be side-loaded via Zune, making for the ultimate custom ROM machine.

Check out a couple of these screenshots posted by the guys over at XDA China that show what could possibly be the finalized version of the HTC Sense 3.5 user interace for Android devices.
One of the screenshots shows the lock screen which looks to be the same as the one featured on HTC Sense 3.0. The home screens are where most of the changes are made. The icons, including the ones for the phone and for the menu have been revamped.

New Windows Phone 7 handsets are possibly being unveiled at HTC's event as well?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftHTCWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
All eyes will surely be placed on HTC just one day before IFA is expected to commence over in Germany, and of course, the big name speculated to arrive at HTC’s various events being held on September 1st throughout Europe is none other than the HTC Puccini. However, we may very well see some new Windows Phone 7 handsets from them as well.
In fact, it’s becoming increasingly obvious since fall signals the release of Mango to the masses – and what better way to flaunt it with brand spanking new devices? Taking a peek over at the Windows Phone UK Facebook page, their post regarding the September 1st London event significantly indicates that Windows Phone 7’s presence will be there. As much as ...

Gingerbread update for HTC DROID Incredible delayed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDroid IncredibleAndroid 2.3
We recently reported that the HTC DROID Incredible might not be getting upgraded to Android 2.3. However, according to Android Central, Verizon was ready to send out the update yesterday to 10,000 DROID Incredible users, followed by 50,000 today and the remaining owners of the device on Friday. Unfortunately, it seems that Big Red has put the kibosh on a Gingerbread snack for the HTC DROID Incredible as it appears that the software needs more work.

HTC ThunderBolt getting Gingerbread this quarter
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid 2.3ThunderBolt
The HTC ThunderBolt was the first 4G-enabled smartphone on Verizon's speedy LTE network, but since its launch not much has changed with its software – the handset continues to run on the quickly aging Android 2.2 Froyo, even though back in March HTC spilled the beans about an upcoming Gingerbread update. Well, four months later, it's still coming, but this time we have a particular time period for it – the third quarter of the year.
HTC representatives have been spreading the word about the update which will add Gingerbread tweaks and features, and fix some problems along the way:
“We are working hard to address the issues you have mentioned with future updates for the device. We are excited...

HTC Desire gets updated to Gingerbread, but not really
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesireAndroid 2.3
If you are among the bunch of people still holding on to their trusty HTC Desire, you might not like the news that we have to share with you. It looks like the smartphone will not be treated to Gingerbread after all, or at least not in the form of a full-fledged update that HTC was expected to release by the end of July.
Technically, an official Gingerbread ROM for the HTC Desire will be available for download, yet it will not be pushed out to the general public due to a number of issues that the HTC developer team simply couldn't hurdle. HTC stated on its Facebook page that “certain functions may no longer be usable after re-flashing the ROM, including but not limited to MMS and SMS”, but ...

HTC Desire Gingerbread update available, excludes US and comes with long list of caveats
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesireAndroid 2.3
First off, if you own the North American variant of this handset then you're out of luck. Likewise, Japanese, South Korean and some German handsets are also excluded. Still here? Okay then, but you might not like what comes next. We already knew that either the Sense UI or some pre-installed apps would be cleared out to make room in the Gingerbread house, but now it seems the update is so unstable that HTC is only prepared to release it as a ROM via its developer site. That means a factory reset of your device, a bunch of worries about SMS and MMS not working properly, and a cold disclaimer in the event of things going wrong. Still, at least HTC gave (some of) us the choice. Visit the source...
