So the wife has a Radar and it gets an update to OS 7.10.8107.79 Supposedly solves the disappearing keyboard issue. Which lately has been driving me nuts. So the Radar is a gen 2 phone and the HD7 is 1st gen. My question is are the HD7's going to see this update or do you think 1st gen phones are going to get left in the dust?
T mobile is pretty mum about the htc hd7, i also own one and id been patiently waiting the update and its really disappointing to hear that 2nd gen WP devices are getting the update but cant confirm the 1st gen phones. still its t mobiles call whether to request the update. i hope in the future that updates for WP will NOT be dependent on the carrier...
My HD7 is on 7.10.8107.79 already - of course update via Zune, no custom roms.
I flashed XDA-DFT rom and it is now 8107, don't bother waiting the T-mob.

or you can simply force the update via the cab send method...I did it a nite ago and works like a charm...
Well your right. I got tired of waiting so I did force it. My question still stands tho...is this an indication that 1st gen phones are going to be hung out? I have seen some post that say no...some say yes. I just don't think it is a very good indicator when T mobile doesn't push a small update to the 1st gen phones.

I lost my current phone if it matter?
I know how you feel.
It would be pretty awful to lay out the money or lock into a contract only to hear info about a new device next week...
Would also like to know if there a re any rumours although I would be surprised if anything was released this soon. Would be a bit unfair on current WP7 users.
it always depands on you... how much u need a phone, and what phone you are looking at...
those models which will be launched in CES should be leaked by now...
i am using HD7 since launch and i cant be more happy with the device... i came from TP2 and i was looking for a Keyboard device, but there were none, so i got the biggest screen and it took me some time to get used to the on screen keyboard but now i am flying...
why HD7 as HTC is THE COMPANY which only makes PDA... i will looking at dell venue pro as well, however it has so many issues and its not even sold in asia...

It is sold in Asia, at least in India it is. BTW, I had a few questions....apart from all the GOOD things...i wanted to know if I buy it in India, will I get everything working...like the HTC Hub, the (lovely) weather tab, the (beautiful) Zune Music PLayer with the Artist pics in the background...etc...any help is appreciated...
i'd wait last thing you want to do is by hd7 only for some super ameoled dual core super w7phone to be announced
CES is two days away. Wait.
Yes, wait. Then maybe in three months or some they will release new device that was presented there and when they do, new phones will be presented. And then you will wait forever to get new phone. It's stupid to wait. World won't wait for you...

This.
If you wait for CES you may aswell then wait a month for MWC
Then when something is finally released that was announced there, something else will be announced.
Then do you wait for that? Because if you do something else will be announced when that's released...
@ OP
why opened two thread for same discussion?????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10303180&postcount=1
You could wait, but just because a phone is announced at the CES doesn't mean you can get it next week..(you say you lost your phone op )
I believe a GalaxyS phone is coming on Tmobile soon (like the Samsung Focus on ATT). Super Amoled screen, hummingbird and thinner/lighter phone on a more realistic size (4" is better than anything bigger IMO)
If CES is in two days, well lets see if that phone is announced, ATT just dropped the Focus price to half (now $99) I am assuming to take out the fanfare associated with the other carriers bringing out their versions. ATT did screw the pooch by not advertizing the Focus at all.
GalaxyS has been available through TMO for some time now. It just goes by the name Vibrant.

2 weeks-means its almost here. Folks over Customer care have confirmed as they are not allowed to tell until it is comming finally. Ask me. I've contacted them many times before for the update and they have always told me that they don't know about it. At that time motorola had already told that the update is comming. Inshort its comming.

i agree with your opinions. other companies now talk about Honeycomb and we still beg for the froyo!!!!! I really regret having a Motorola Piece, im thinking of HTC as my next phone, or maybe Samsung cuz they are making the best Android Phones recently
hey guys,
the official milestone 2.2 update is here,finally...
download and update through pc...

and they still say the update could make the phone slower
as if they didnt have enough time to test it for the past one year...
thats a shame...
go here and download...

they are acting as if milestone users are some second grade ****...
even after all this time is it too much too ask to get a decent 2.2 update?
when others are running gingerbread?i just hope it turns out fine...
will update how it is soon..
This is only Motorola dont expcet to much This is my first and last phone form moto
Hey just wanted to give heads up
My O2 branded Sim Free HD7 just got a notification.
So maybe the rest will follow?
Weirdly got the notification at the same times as my Omnia 7 did
lucky you?
was the notification thru the phone or over zune?
me usa tmobile hd7.still not get any message for update??!any one?
Still waiting on the update here, T-Mobile HD7. I really hope T-Mobile aren't going to be withholding updates in the future.
I think MS should let the carriers test but give them a deadline (short one) during which they must say what's wrong and then MS can fix it.
Here's hoping it comes soon.
Hello,
My O2 UK unlocked HD7 received yesterday the update
Waiting now for NoDo...

Really? I got my update this morning. I'm also O2 UK. Still trying to figure out what has change. Anyone has a list of the changes?
I got a notification on the phone. Once I got it on Omnia I checked my hd7 and it was there don't worry anyway. You wouldn't see the slightest difference in day to day operations.

Which version of the update are we having fun ? 7008 ?
Just got my update after plugging in and firing up Zune.
Strangely, it only took less than 5 minutes. I thought there was meant to be 'backup phone' stage that takes ages. I have loads of apps and several gigs of music.
Anyone else have the same experience?
Yeah aprox 5 mins it took. Its 7008 =] what other update?

Lol why would it be? Everything on my phone seems to be working well after anyway
It would worry me if the update process was skipping the backup part of the update.
This one went OK but what if something goes wrong during future updates?
If that happens i give up hope on MS and go buy an iPhone
even though i dont like apple
Yep, my UK O2 branded HD7 just got the update too, cant wait for the NoDo update

http://www.facebook.com/motorola?sk=wall&filter=1 click the link people like it and comment on it.
I have seen first hand proof of this working. I had an evo 3d. Htc decided all futre devices would have locked bootliaders well that made alot of people angry. Someone posted a thread on xda suggesting we let htc know that is not gna fly. So it turnd out thousands of people got on there facebook wall and twitter. Guess what the next day htc released a statement saying that they wanted too keep there coustamers happy and that the bootloader would be unlocked. They were. Id like to be able too have a device and not have too get a new one juzt because moto or htc or sammy wants too put them out constantly get people too buy them and then ditch them and out out another. The atrix is 100 percent capable of runing ics and theres no excuae for it l not too recieve it just because moto wants people too buy new devices every couple months. I know many many people feel the same way well as i said we have the power too change that if people would stop bickering and take it seriously. And also if moto started supporting devices longer not just bug fixes but the new android flavors. Id definately make my next device a moto it would do nothing but benefit them
Why are we discussing/petitioning something that we don't know? Has it been set in stone that manufacturers will not support us anymore or is this all stemming from paranoia?
Because it is the trend. And the atrix 2 has been released already. All the manufactures with the exception of sammy have been doing this more and more lately abandoning. Devices. And pumping out new ones. At a very fast pace
So you are saying they are not going to support the atrix anymore since they released the atrix 2? I'd rather wait till this actually happens before i draw a conclusion. e.g. when ICS gets released and they say they are not going to update the atrix.

Look at the original Incredible.
My wife's one has been turned to **** since the 2.3.4 update, and nothing from HTC, and Verizon pretty much said too bad so sad. Buy another phone or deal with it.
So yes, support will be dropped for older models whether you like to assumed it or not.

No it is obvious support is going to be dropped for old models. But he is implying that models released this year will not get support.
I think for every $10 a phone costs over $50 on launch day (on contract) is how many months it should be updated for. So a $300 phone should be kept updated for 25 months. So this would either keep phone prices lower or keep them updated.
Facebook is a poor way of getting the attention of corporations. You want them to change? Buy a nexus phone. Money talks.

I think ICS only has support for Armv7 currently, so phones with those SoCs will get updated. However, phones using custom UIs will experience a longer waiting time, maybe around early Q1 of 2012. HTC has released like 1000 phones in the last few months and I doubt most will get ICS soon, not sure if Moto will bother at all. But it might be better to wait and actually see what goes down, like you said.
Has HTC in fact locked a boot loader or withheld hardware drivers?
I intend for my next phone to be HTC just because of the hell Samsung put us though trying to get GB on the i9000.

HTC new phones i believe i read come locked.
You can unlock them direct with HTC, but you loose all warranty. As per HTC.

Motorola unlocking bootloaders ??
you should check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316722
I had a motorola xt720.... not the best phone..but was ok. Motorola decided to stop supporting it within 4 months of launch or something stupid like that. No new updates no nothing. And still insisted on the bootloader staying locked so the dev's found it alot harder to do their job for them.
I will never ever buy a motorola product again.
The market is fairly competitive ... don't buy from companies that pull this crap
Hi, I just bought a moto x 2014 in Brazil (not locked to any carriers), and went to update, but it says no updates are available. I read everywhere that lollipop has been out for moto x 2nd gen for a while now. am I missing something? thanks

Not all variants of the Moto X 2014 have received Lollipop update. For instance, my XT1093 has not gotten it yet. XT1095 (pure edition) and maybe some others have gotten the update already.
You'll get it, just wait till it rolls out to you. You aren't missing out on much, believe me.

well actually android lollipop is the thing i need the most in a smartphone. multi-user is the reason I bought this phone right now, I have a band and I use instagram / twitter / facebook / all things that doesn't have multi-user support like google apps, so the only way I can manage everything is with android lollipop.
I had a galaxy s4 with cyanogen lollipop, but phone just fried so I went to the store and bought the best phone I could pay that had guaranteed lollipop upgrade, and when i got home bam, no upgrade. that's a bummer.

I was actually expecting a way to force upgrade since it's been out for a while, and I'm not very patient, not good with waiting for something that has not a defined time to get done you know? been waiting forever to get it on my s4, and it never came, had to do a manual install. My phones don't usually last longer than a year or two, so I can't afford to wait another six months for it unfortunately

It won't be six months. You're looking at a few weeks, max. You could look into side loading or flashing a ROM, though I'm not sure what is compatible with your model and what isn't.

I think you're misinterpreting what you found. If it's the actual OTA zip, the file itself will update your phone to the official release... that's called sideloading. Nothing can force your phone to download the OTA if it's not already available. That's entirely up to Motorola or your carrier. And if it is available, you'd be able to get it by checking for it in settings. Post the link to what you found and I'll check it out.
I personally have no issues with it, never encountered the memory leak issue. I was a bit peeved at first they removed the silent mode but once I worked out how to use the priorities for alerts I was fine. Now I just wish they'd roll out lollipop for my Samsung Tab S.
