Desire Z and Desire HD to Receive Software OTA

HTC is sending out a small software OTA for the HTC Desire Z and the HTC Desire HD. It is an update that is based on user feedback and made it very clear that “Gingerbread is not part of this update”.

    Is anyone else getting the same

  • bela

    Why are they wasting their tinlme with froyo, instead of readying gingerbread?

  • Paper8

    Just got ten minutes ago…… can’t notice much difference

  • tonio

    any idea what the update changes of fixes?

  • Andrey

  • Saadat Ali Khan

    Got it on my HTC desire .. no real change

  • TheGurT

    Yup, just installed it on my Desire Z, no noticable changes as of yet though

  • Daytona

    No dice here for me. Desire HD – 3 Mobile Australia

  • Travis

    Took about 10 mins to update… not sure whats different though. Sense seems to be a little more snappier than usual, or maybe I’m just imagining it?

  • http://Phandroid Daitron

    Why isn’t the G2 getting this update, they are the exact same phone…..

  • Paper8

    Got it few hours ago. Installed it but can’t see no difference

  • henk janse

    modded my visionary+ rooted desire hd with titanium backup, no update possible cause he doesn’t find facebook ;-) but i don,t bother because I’ll wait for gingerbread thinking that is an complete rom due to compatibility issues.

  • Zak

    I haven’t receive the update, desire z singapore

  • http://www.recoverysoftwares.org/ Recovery Softwares

    Still have the issue in FB app with white/blank thumbnails

  • Manny

    Bela, go away. You don’t know anything and not taking the time to educate you.

  • jaye

    Got the update and its made my battery life even worse. I’m lucky if I get 6 hours without charging. Totally awful.

  • Rob Cook

    Just got 2.2.1 on my Desire HD. Midlands UK

  • Rob

    I seem to have a noticably better battery life.

  • Budorat

    No sign of update… Desire HD Australia. Phone originated in UAE, so changed locale back to UAE, still no update available…… ready when u are HTC.

  • João Monteiro

    I got mine yesterday for my DZ at Portugal after seeing this post and making a manual update. Don’t know exactly what changed but the interface really seems snappier. Also, it changed my soundset to the default one so I had to switch sets again.
