Old news ! Not nice to start a " new " thread for something we had not expected anyway.
Yeah, I know its old news. But even so, a large amount of people do not know this, so its still worth posting.
Do you realize what board you're on? Don't generalize, you have been left behind, not me. I've been running WM6.1 on my Tilt since the winter when it first leaked and have been running the lasted build since Monday.

Everyone here knows this and it is not worth posting as you will find out.
No, I have browsed through some threads and it seemed that a decent amount of people had not realized that only the HTC-Branded devices had recieved the update.
People who read stuff already knew for like a month that the update would probably be only for HTC branded devices, I guess you don't.
Anyways, it doesn't mean there won't be official updates for you, just that your company, whichever it is, will have to customize things first before releasing a rom, especially adding all their bloatware.
Oh, and about accelerated graphics, please, noone got them, it's not that you're a special target.
I know that there were some "fixes" but no drivers, and it has been said that ATT users will get it, just when they get ready to release it after adding all their crap.

I am here to help , what was the question ? I just heard a rant that the mods have said ( continually ) is not appropriate for these forums. If you read the official announcement from HTC when they announced the TYtN upgrade, they said that they had no plans to release an upgrade fer the Tilt in the near future. Why is this rant important to this forum?
What are you talking about denco? This is not even a rant, it is a statement. I did not mean for it to be a rant and I did not mean for people to mistake it as one. I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update. It appeared as though alot of people had not realized this, or, at least enough for me to post. I can even show you some quotes if you need me too.
Denco, please look up the definition of 'rant'.
htc rom
Just talked to HTC. There is no 6.1 rom from them for the HTC phones (mine is the TYTN II) available anywhere on the globe.

I am not trying to entice the argument here, but i will add couple of things:
a) Most of the "regular" members here at xda already know that the tilt or any other branded version of the tytnII will not be getting the updates. (emphasis on regular).
b) none of the xda members really care about official updates as we have very gifted and talented chefs here that can port roms for us (and we are truly greatful for that) and seeing that the only diffrence between the TytnII and tilt is the front camera that shouldn't be a big deal.
c) drivers (which there aren't none) can also be ported. There are chefs already working on porting the diamond drivers over to tilt which runs vga.
Having said that i would like to thank you for the info ... but unfortunately its old news and no one likes repeatedly hearing old news.

Did you try hitting the download link at the bottom of this link -

? (Posted by jdmba)
Welcome to the ROM update for the AT&T Tilt. Please review the following prior to downloading and installing the latest ROM update (version 1.62.502.0) on your device.

I very nearly downloaded this one by mistake. I registered with htc but my phone S/N is not a real HTC device and was still logged in, but I managed to (mistakenly) download the file from that link without much issue.
That help?
That's still only 6.0..

Those bastards! Oh wait. I'm not worse off than I was before. Even If I didn't have XDA to feed my obsession for ROM flashing.

I don't know who you spoke with but they were wrong; I just ran the HTC RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) from the HTC e-club web site and the splash screen clearly states Windows Mobile 6.1. I have an HTC TYTN II and it works great.

LOL, nice call on NASIOC...as well as EvoM
The thing that puzzles me about this is the way the AT&T Tilt gets singled out as if it's special - in reality it's just one dozens of rebranded Kaisers around the globe, none of which have had an official update. I have a "Vodafone V1615", am I whining about where to download a Vodafone update for my Vodafone V1615? No, of course not, with the help of this forum it's been running the original HTC rom since October, and upgraded to the HTC 6.1 update a couple of days ago (before it was released by HTC in fact). So what's the problem?
The irony is the AT&T Tilt is (I believe) the only variant to have it's own section of the HTC website, and to actually have already had a rom upgrade back in February, albeit 6.0 only. Where are all the complaints about that from owners of the V1615, or the T-Mobile Vario 3, or the Orange Tytn II, or O2 XDA Stellar, or the "3" Tytn II, etc etc..?
Hy all developer of this forum.
One question is on my mind about this section :
What's the problem with acer liquid?
Why no one is cooking roms for this smartphone? This is a best seller phone, and many peoples acclaim development for it.
If not, this section will remain a copy of another site, and so useless for the community.
I think when you're late to the party, people get rooted into sites that are originally more popular for that particular device. Besides, XDA is known for HTC devices, so it's not unreasonable for others to not come here.
What Bellanano says is true. When the Acer Liquid thread opened, we expected great things from the XDA developers, but that wasn't

I too was hoping for a development of xda for this device
If You want custom ROMs that much, it's time to learn cooking, so You can see how much time it needs, and that some things are not that easy like on first view.
And if you just thought that when Liquid forum will be opened, new ROMs will magically appear -
That's all I had to say.

Acer Liquid isn't as widely sold. My own phone in an import from the UK and would be of perhaps a few dozen that have found their way to New Zealand.
I have no idea what Acer isn't pushing the phone globally. But they aren't. Maybe they are using this phone as a way to test their sales / support and delivery systems in an area new to them: phones.
hi,
can i install sype on the htc desire hd and is there a a option with the portugues keyboard...

We already have a thread on this topic.
And to answer your question - mainly to answer ALL questions about customization: IT'S ANDROID, FOR GOD SAKE!
You can do with it, what ever you like.
swype on HTC Desire HD
I've never had an HTC phone and android is a mystery to me. Up to now I've had Nokia and a Samsung omnia (used it only a few days and went back to my old nokia). It's time to get a new phone and - having big hands (and fingers too) - I'm thinking about the Desire HD. The critics are very good.
What I don't understand is the following... as far as I know, the Desire HD will not be available before somewhere in october. Yet you claim that swype is available for - and compatible with - the Desire Hd. I'll take your word for it, but why didn't HTC put it directly on the HD???
You say "It's and android for God's sake". What do you mean by that? Will all apps work on the HD just because it's an android?
I'm sorry if my questions look stupid to you, but like I sais, android is a mystery to me (although I am eager to find out more, even though I am 59 years old).
Thanks for your answer. Cheers!

A Superbly warm welcome to the android crowd. Oh... you know - to describe the android platform I need to say - If you are willing to spend some time with it, than you can make it to whatever you want it to be, to look, to feel. Just use your imagination and this fantastic forum. When the phone comes out, trust me, there is going to be so much hype and work to make this phone perfection.
...
It won't come out of the box with swype, cuz, how we all know - SWYPE - is an Samsung product.
...
But think about this, this way. If the XDA genies managed to port the yet not released HTC Desire HD ROM to the HD2, Droid Incredible. Trust me, to port the swype function to the Desire HD is going to be a ordinary everyday task to preform for our SuperB developers.
...
Isn't that right?
...
+1 to me.

Good to hear that your keeping up with the advance in technology!
The reason (as far as I know) that Swype is not installed on HTC phones is that it belongs to Samsung and they don't want it to be installed on other phones.
Off course it's very easy to obtain this program via the usual but no so legal ways and to install it on the phone. I installed it on my girlfriends Desire.
So it is possible, but please don't discuss this on XDA because Samsung does not like this!
Thank you very much for your answer

You're always welcome.
Swype is owned by Samsung? Do please link me a source for that, cause I totally missed that out.
Seeing that several Motorola devices are able to get Swype, heck even Droid X and Droid 2 comes with it preinstalled.
In fact, myTouch 3G even got it.
All of those dosen't seem like Samsung phones too me.
In fact, aint it the creator of T9 that is behind Swype?

Swype is a commercial product, that is sold to different partners (like Samsung)
so that they can include it in their phones. There may be other company's that have the right to sell phones with swype on it. These companys spent money on swype hoping that potential buyers will see it as a "plus" and buy their phones. So Samsung may not be the owner of the company or the have the exlusive rights to use swype, they have bought the right to sell their phones with swype included. I know that Samsung has complained a lot about posts regarding the "illegal" use of swype. This may have something to do with their current marketing campaign of the Galaxy S.
Its very much possible to install Swype on any Android phone, but company's that have paid money for this don't want to many people to know about this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swype#Availability
So no, Swype is definitely not owned by Samsung. They've just payed to have it included in the SGS software.
Desire HD
Thank you all for your answers.
I am a bit puzzled... I read (and hear) so many wonderful things about the Desire HD (and also about the Nokia N8) and yet they are not available at the moment. A few months ago, there was the same hype about the Samsung i9000. You should read the critics now.... it's not bad, but it's certainly not was the "experts" said it would be (before it was released).
I am still very interested in the Desire HD, but I am eager to read the reactions of people once it's been on the market for a few weeks.

Yes. The Guys From Xda.cn have posted 2 videos showing it working. the 1st shows an SD card error and no wifi or cellular radio.
The 2nd one however shows all this working.
The DarkForcesTeam have made RSPL's so android can run on the phones (this being all HTC WP7 Phones) so my guess is that they are working on doing something like their MAGDLR for the HD2.
The guys from xda.cn have apparantly stated a June release, so just wait and see, You've just got to be patient with this, its a huge job to port it.
I understand its a huge job and I appreciate it. I was just wondering because I've looking everywhere and I just want to know if am going to get android eventually or not on my hd7. do u have any links for the videos ?
By the way how is that going to be effective who are (claims) that they making android when the developers from wp7 are aboutt to give an update of MANGO?
Does this mean the developer who are making android for htc hd7 have to re-start again because WP7 has a new interface MANGO about to be release soon ?
Just wondeirng either theres going to be any interference with the making of android vs the new MANGO about to come soon. Due to the fact some settings may be different from what WP7 is know to what MANGO will be next and try android on that. Confused.
Mods please lock this thread, original poster, read the Android on hd7 thread you will get all your answers, DavieGee props for your patience on answering the same question that everybody asks, Sandra really? You are going around in circles in three other threads with the same comments, unneeded really one thread is enough one question is enough, do some research.
Yes... Matter of time...

This is it. Given that both devices are internally differnet, no rom or custom development would ever work on both and there's not even carrier compatibility. Given that devices like the SGS III has different forums for carriers, I believe that the Razr i should at least have it's own forum. What do you think?
Like I said in another thread, I agree. I'd like to see this happen.

Agree. Own forum or at least a sub forum here.
-Sent from my Razr i on AT&T.-
Agreed. The processor is really different from the Razr M so the I should have it's own subforum.
Gets my vote too. Had my Razr i since mid week and I'm really liking it. What I really like is I never lose signal compared to my previous HTC One phones. Battery life rocks too. Great phone but it needs its own forum. We'll still visit the M forum
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
Yep,
Another subforum would make sense like good old days of G3/G4 wizards (anyone remember these?)
It definatly need its own subforum for development, accesories not so much. they are different models but only in the inside.
It just baffles me that the the galaxy s3 gets full forums just for different carriers and yet the razr i still hasn't gotten a forum. It is a released phone after all, and I'm pretty sure it'll become available in non-LTE markets like South America and many contries accross europe.
Any reason it's not showing up in the Find Your Device search thing?
Yes!
I agree. I'd like to see this happen
