What happened to 720p recording? And Divx support?

Are you confusing the Desire's update with that of Froyo. Those features were promised for the Desire, my guess would be they'll show up alongside 2.2 for the Desire does, i.e. Q2

Do you mean H2? Q2 would be nice

Gahh you're right, the Desire Club's optimism is getting to me

Just had another go on Froyo. Seems the radio doesn't even work, so its not usable for anything (Doesn't have gapps so no market etc either

)

Wonder how long until HTC get the desire version sorted

Fegruson · 22 May 2010 at 12:21

Their website seem to lack a decent news section and an official forum

Would be great if they implemented both. Im sure the forum would be widely used.

Go go HTC!

Now we just need to wait for a Cyanogenized version of Froyo!

I can wait...!

Do we? I won't. It wipes the floor with a stock 2.1, which puts it on or above the performance of cyan 2.1. Obviously cyan will make it faster still, but I'm rolling back to stock to get this OTA

Will the stock 2.2 permit you to reroot your phone? Because if it doesn't then this will be a one way trip for you.

You can't re-lock the bootloader at all on the Nexus, not sure about the root access, I'd assume, being for the Nexus then yes it will allow root access. I'm back on the stock ROM right now waiting anyway

And the URL has been figured out

To update you must be using the Nexus One!

1) Download here
2) Flash back to stock, including stock recovery
3) Put file on SD card and name it update.zip
4) Power off
5) Press power and trackball at the same time, an Android with an ! next to it will appear
6) Press vol up and power together
7) Select flash update.zip
8) Enjoy

I have done this and am now enjoying Froyo

Lucky.

mrk · 22 May 2010 at 20:39

Damn you Nexarse owners!

griffo_001 · 22 May 2010 at 20:39

You bet me too it, I was flashing just as I got this email

Still, frozen yoghurt on such a warm day

First finding: Splash screen still has the lock icon on it, indicating my bootloader is still unlocked, which is good news

Will report back when I've had more of a play

Lots of apps missing from the marketplace, looks like some devs need to do some updating!

It could also be the permissions issue that Desire users had, glad I backed up all my .apk's
