Cheers for the info was at 15MB free now at just under 27MB so hopefully should be ok.

youll have to wait til your carrier releases their version unfortunately. I also got mine from CPW but fortunately its unbranded so am happily running froyo right now.

No point, it's very easy. Just goto your homescreen, push menu and go in to settings.

Go to About phone and then System Software Updates.

Then just Check for Updates and that's all there is to it.

Ah then you need to debrand your phone and root it to update to FroYo. Not difficult by any means, you just need to create a Goldcard and then root.

Have a quick read of it and see if you're up for it.

Update seems to have solved the issue i was having with the WIFI locking up when the phone went to sleep, fingers crossed.

RTE player and 4OD also work great.

I thought that froyp would allow you to sync with itunes. Anyone any ideas how to get it working?

tried everything but itunes just doesnt care. id say it has something to do with htc's sync tool. if you've used doubletwist, id say they'll copy that

k-man

I installed the update about 1 hour ago. So far so good! I like the keyboard improvements - more locales, and easy to switch between them! I often text in German and English, so being able to use German text prediction and also switch quickly between languages is a BIG plus for me!

Its supposed to be quicker as well, although its hard to tell since the update involves a reboot - things always run faster after a reboot. But the OS is certainly snappy as always. Anyone have any objective benchmarks for this though?

killbillvol2

Just popped up as an update available for me - in China! Downloading now.

Apologies to the Heavenly Inn Guesthouse if I've messed up your download cap

I use ATK sometimes which shows remaining memory at the top. Used to be 38M, now on froyo its 95M usually . I'm using a flashed froyo for a few days now.

Anyone figure out how you get rid of your facebook friends birthday dates from the calender.

I have have lots of facebook friends so my calender is a real mess. Also, most of them are just "facebook" friends. I don't want to know when its their birtdays tbh.

squire23

Am I right in saying this seems to be Desire only yet? I can't seem to get it on the Legend

choronzonix

You would be correct.

Check that the iso settings are correct. I took blue tinted photos last week before i realized i had changed the iso.

Have Froyo installed. Super fast.

No sign of it for me either yet on Orange.

bluefirefly

is the OS smaller than 2.1 or something? Because when i install 2.2 i just had enough space for it (27 odd MB) after the installation I have i think 40MB?

Oh anyone able to move apps to SD card?

ps. My Desire is from Vodafone. But using meteor sim *thumbs up

jumbobreakfast

Moving apps is easy using settings-->applications-->manage applications and click on the app to bring up the move option.

However, it doesnt move everything, rockplayer beta was using 6MB but after moving to SD still shows up as using 3.4MB

I found the RTE player to be very cumbersome and slow and it doesnt resize to the screen, instead it has scroll bars (just like at the right and bottom of a normal microsoft window) that i cant operate. I tried a video and it was out of sync and stuttered. Tips anyone?

The channel 4 on demand website worked much better and the video that I tried (The Daily Show) looked much better than the rte clip.

bluefirefly

I tried to move the apps. But most of them don't have the option "turned on"(not clickable)
The only app i can move is my two player reaction game which was about 2.05MB and when moved it says 336KB? why is that?

When people were using app2sd(i think thats the name), they were'nt able to move every app as well. May be the same with froyo too?

************
I can see the phone is faster when its loading up my apps, used to take a while to load up the list and icons, now its almost instant!

partyatmygaff

If you're gonna rely on developers to include support you're gonna be waiting a long time. You need to download an App called setinstalllocation, you can use that to force it to install to the sd card.

jumbobreakfast

The app has to support "move to SD" to work, wait for the developer to update it. Also, the apps probably need to keep certain files in certain folders so not all files can be moved. I expect the app developers will allow more files to be moved in future

or do what partyatmygaff just said

bluefirefly

oh i see. i didnt know the app itself have to support it. Gona try donwload that app to install apps on sd card. Cheers!

just remove the LED light app you have. this is causing the problem. You don't need it now anyway as 2.2 has a flashlight function no need to reset the phone.

I reckon we need a new version of the htc sync app for PC. HTC sync for desire is still on version 2, there is a version 3 which supports syncing music but it's only for the HTC wildfire at present:

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=316&cat=3&dl_id=982


You cant download v3 without a valid Wildfire serial number but I just found this: http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/how-to-sync-itunes-with-htc-desire-via-htc-sync/ there's a link on that page to the wildfire HTC Sync v3 which seems to work with the desire. I'd be wary of using it untill the proper desire version is out but you could always give it a look without transferring anything. Also, note that he reccommends uninstalling HTC sync v2 first

nedd

Still no sign of it for me. With o2. Anyone with o2 after getting it yet?

I debranded and got the update that way.

This guide should help you - it is pretty much what I did. You will most likely lose all your data (messages etc).
