T-Mobile UK has issued a statement today regarding the status of its Android 2.2 “FroYo” update for HTC Desire users, pointing out that a fix for the bizarre malfunctioning German apps that UK users have been lumbered with is being worked on.
Also, the network says the 2.2 update for T-Mobile branded Desires has NOT been pulled, so it should still be available – if you don’t mind a few weird German apps. Here’s the full breakdown on the Desire/2.2 situation, should you be on T-Mobile and a little confused about what’s happening.
We wanted to give you an update on the recently released Android 2.2 software for the HTC Desire and a few issues that have been raised.
We’re aware that the update has added a few apps which aren’t compatible and can’t be uninstalled – we are working on a maintenance patch to resolve this and will be rolling this out in due course.
Some users have been reporting decreased battery life with the update. Although our testing didn’t pickup any battery usage issues, if you are seeing increased usage it’s worth checking that all the apps you have installed are fully compatible with 2.2. You might also want to check our battery saving tips.
If you’re seeing issues with 3rd party applications you have installed not being compatible, it’s worth getting in touch with the developer of the app to check if it supports the new features of the Android 2.2 software.
Lastly, some people are reporting that the update is no longer available – this isn’t the case and the update is still being rolled out in phases over the next few weeks.
Thanks to Tony for the tip. Here’s your associated imagery:
Adds to the excitement, doesn’t it? It must be so boring being an iPhone user and missing out on all this upgrading madness.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
