I have loaded the latest release of 2.1 and it has solved my bigest problem. But they seam to have left some things out. Namely the muliple home screen function and the Live Desktop function. Do ypu know why they didn’t onclude these functions.

I don’t know why anyone believed the March 26 rumor. Sprint’s previously announced first half of 2010 (i.e. Jan 1 – June 30), which pretty much nixed it being in the first quarter. Since then they’ve said early second quarter, which could technically be any time between April 1 & May 15.

I have a HTC Droid Eris from Verizon and I plan to put on the 2.1 update hack this weekend. Verizon is really bad on giving updates especally if they could take money away from them.

This is why they are not updating soon

At the store, Roark had never been told that his HTC Eris has Android 1.5, nicknamed “Cupcake.” Until told by a reporter, he had no idea what features he’s missing as a result. For instance, free turn-by-turn navigation is available in the latest version, Android 2.1 (”Eclair”), but is only available to Cupcake users for $10 a month from Verizon.

[...] wouldn’t be surprised considering just last week a similar rumor pointed at the broader range of “April”. It’s just a picture of a text document and could be easily faked, but I think there are a [...]

Look Guys it all kind of makes sense “no pun intended”. Now that they are releasing the HTC Supersonic that has Sense UI on it they would be releasing the 2.1 update that this phone will come stock with. The whole premise is that the Hero came with Sense UI and that they had to make sure that the UI would not be all buggy with the 2.1 update and thus the long delay. I think we shall see this update very soon.

For all of you whining about the update to 2.1.. zip it, we weren’t promised anything so you bought your phone fully knowing that you weren’t.

The 2.1 update is definitely coming soon; possibly Cellular South first. There has been a leaked 2.1 ROM for the Cell South HTC Hero, including an engineering SPL, which turns off security and enables fastboot. And that entire leak worked with no problems on the Sprint Hero — although it does require a goldcard since the CID doesn’t match. Tells us the Sprint and CS Heros are the same models, and that the CS Hero’s update is already complete and has been in testing. One can only assume that the Sprint Hero didn’t require anything too drastically different, and the Sprint update should be done already, and going through testing as well.

Come on, Sprint! I’ve been pretty patient and even in your corner about it taking longer to integrate the new Sense UI into Android 2.1, but I was really hoping the end of March rollout date was true.

I really hope that if we’re getting “info” in April, that the “info” will be a release date in early April for the 2.1 update. Please, no one is making apps for anything less than Android 1.6 anymore.
