i just got a free upgrade to a magic running 2.0 i'm not sure if there is one yet but if not i will dump mine for you guys. your probably miles ahead of google anyway lol. interesting thing, i got this due to an apparent bug in the dream running 1.5 where when gps in enabled you cannot make a 911 call
**so after speaking to a rep in tech who knew a few things, the update will be made available in late spring. the device only comes shipped with 1.5. strange that the bug is only present in the dream version of rogers' rom.. anyway, until then
Does this build have Sense UI?

post it anyway
is it a hoax just as in Dream forum someone said that T-mobile has provided OTA 2.0. That turned out to be not true.
So how can you be sure that it will come with 2.0? I would be very surprise. The Magic WILL have a 2.1 update but I doubt it will be released before the Hero. But who knows.

We do! New firmwares have to be released somehow before hitting XDA...
no hoax, i called in and renewed my term earlier. the girl said 3-5 business days it will arrive. it should have 2.0 already as the original pont in the promotion was to allow dream users to experience android 2.0 which was deemed to heavy on resources for the dream. unless that was a rumour. but the girl on the phone said that it was due to not being able to call 911 when the gps was enabled, which is scary. 2.1 will have sense ui. which will be made available to rogers, not sure when though. i am going to call and ask which version of android comes on my new magic.. i'll get right back to you folks..

Gotta love miss informed sales people. The Rogers magic will get the 2.1 update in the near future (between now and July I believe). I'm pretty sure the girl you spoke to only knew half the story.
Sure she dont mean ROM version 2?
This sounds weird...

yea the girl is a lunatic lol
it is coming with 1.5 but the rogers 2.0 should be out around late spring
so far away.. the tech guy was saying that htc's will be out sooner. either way i will leave my device stock so i can get the rogers update. then i will dump and share it. for now it's back to waiting. sorry to get any hopes up
Well i hate to burst some bubbles but the replacement Magic is the same as ALL other magic's that rogers gives out, stock 1.5 rom. I just got mine a few hours ago and its very nice but like i said stock 1.5 with the 'perfect spl' as stated in the xda magic wiki.
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)
Still, to all those with a Rogers HTC Dream, I encourage you to get the free upgrade
promo contents:
-phone
-battery
-SIM
-2gb sdcard
-'leather' case
-travel charger
-USB cable
-headphones
soon in the mail
-$50 mail in rebate
so to add all this up...
you get a free phone, $50 off your bill and you get to keep your current dream... how can you lose?
You get to KEEP your dream?
WTF? Now I feel screwed.. I just got a Magic 2 months ago ... I'd have been better off getting a dream.

so just starting this thread so we can discuss any updates on release or other info cause i cant wait for the phone
and please try not to let this post became arguments just like every other one
One member believes it will release at the end of September, as for everyone else on the internet, we haven't heard a word about release. The Sprint version is coming early September and I've heard the Verizon version is late Sept, but AT&T hasn't been mentioned by anyone but 1 user on here.
Check back in a few weeks.
If you have any questions regarding other things about the phone besides release date, ask away.
stopped by the at&t store yesterday...talked to this girl that i always go to and she said one of her co-workers went to a training seminar for the Touch Pro..he wasnt there at the time so i couldnt get any more info. She said its gonna be withing a month till its released..i cant wait.

differences are no front camera
the keyboard layout top row is symbols not numbers wich i say is better
and the software for the fm radio was removed but you can put it back on
any other new stuff id love to hear!
I can't wait for this to be released. My girlfriend's cousin works at an AT&T store here in town so hopefully when I see him tonight he will be able to give me some info. The only bad part is that I am not due for an upgrade until Dec 09 =(.
I think i will just use my mom's upgrade mwhahahaha
Is there any difference in proccessor speed or RAM from the EU version? or is the only difference purely just the front camera and keyboard layout?

Ok cool. Also do we know if it supports plugins similar to what ThrottleLauncher does? So I could replace the default weather screen with something like WeatherPanel.

work of art.
I'm working on a 2.2-specific game right now. My Android experience is on an Ion with an engineering SPL. After reading a bit about how root has gone for newer-model HTC phones, I was saddened by the prospect of having FroYo sitting in AOSP for the taking, but having my phone refuse to take any non-Sprint-blessed medicine awaiting root.
Like the rest of you, I'm hopeful that this method is easy, stable, safe, and successful. I'm also hopeful that the WiMAX support in FroYo is compatible with this phone.
Great work guys!
Any ideas when you guys will be releasing the exploit? I am dying to delete some of these apps and have access to root programs!
i'd say that we probably shouldn't expect to find the methods for root until at least the evo comes out... maybe a few weeks after so HTC can't patch it immediately.

I highly doubt they'd stop the release of the device (with the hype that they have going for this phone) to fix an exploit, then go back into testing. Knowing Sprint / HTC that would prevent them from getting it out on the 4th.
In all reality the amount of people that buy this phone, less than 5% will root it. Some could argue that % is high even. With all the people I've met with Hero's... only one person has it rooted. He's a computer nerd like myself, and he doesn't even flash nearly as often as I do... maybe once every few months...
ill now its true when its on my phone and i have all the sprint bloat gone

Roaming Lol
Awesome work guys!
I wonder if they have system write access too or if this is a limited root like the Desire and Legend.
This is quite amazing, a week and a half before launch and already there's a method for root. Hopefully the guys behind it can give out the instructions on June 4th.
Its a shame really..but with all the shenanigans its hard to just say great job. I am grateful if this is indeed true as I have already pre ordered mine and would love root on it.
Its almost as if your not doubting that they gained root, but more that you question yourself if what they say is true lol...make any sense?
If this is true, great work.

Yeah it's probably getting held back for Rogers to test and or lock up the phone like the whole HTC Dream fiasco.
And here i thought, we canadian beat the US for the first time having x10 in our country before them... but now we are last in our update. Where is our justice!

Actually, they say that it will be released sometime between October 1 and December 31. Makes some sense, as it's not expected to be released anywhere until the end of September, and if it falls even a week after that it'll be October.
With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if it does take Rogers until December. Have they even released 026 yet? That's why I rooted and went with the generic ROM. Been running 026 for like a month-and-a-half.
As others have said, as long as a generic X10a firmware gets posted somewhere, we'll be set.
I think Canadian cell phone users were anticipating this though. It happens all the time. For once I almost thought we'd be close to par but I saw that tweet earlier as well.
Ah well. Thankfully there's a strong online community and we'll have this minutes after it's released

So just wondering, is debranding the same thing as unlocking? I'm looking at the tutorial in Xperiax10.net... they say it might brick the phone so I'm hesitating slightly...

Debrand = remove operator logos, apps (bloatware), etc. Lets you use generic FW and FW from other carriers
Unlocking = allows you to use your phone on a different carrier. No more binding to carriers. You'll want to debrand your phone and use a generic FW once it's released... we'll definitely be getting a late update from Rogers.
Absolute BS. Hmm, to change phone or not.. I wonder if we will actually get One-Finger Zoom?

Very true. However, they at least have the sense overlay done (or so it would seem), so that leaves the LTE radio... that's about it.

Either way I hope you're right. I can't wait for some GB action.

I can say that it does come from verizon and its not your everyday cs rep or a store employee. I have known the person since I'm 5 (41 Now) and they have been with verizon 15 years and has worked his way up from tech to a nice position.
I can also add that they were looking into making the maintenance update part of the GB upgrade but were having issues with it so as of now they are two seperate ota's.
Im sure some of the devs here can check and see if this has any validity. I cant get him to confirm a GB date but he said nothing will be set for GB until current issues are dealt with..

All updates have issues so it's going to be pretty much unavoidable. Factory resets can generally clear up most of them though.
I did do a search regarding this, but if info has been posted please give me a link,
I have been having issues with the call quality of this phone, i have had a few discussions with AT&T regarding it.. anyways i called HTC and they were very helpful and even acknowledged there is a issue. i was told that there is a OTA update that is being sent out to address this issue, i am currently using build number 2.47.502.7 CL93396 which came with the update back in 08/08/11 . Has anyone else received the update yet, if so what is the build number ? and did it improve call quality ?

They most likely did send it to ATT but that is where it will most likely stay. You would be amazed how many WM releases we had that HTC pushed and sent to carriers that never made it to devices. She was right on her end. They are pushing the update but here in the states no OEM controls the software updates. Our carrier does
Yea that's how it goes all my HTC phones in the past got updates but way slower then UK and unbranded due to the FCC we might never get updates like Europe my Verizon wireless phone HTC incredible got a 2.3 update that was very much needed but we never expected vzw to send it out there was like 4 delays and one day it was out lol

Yeah. I read that the desire hd has gotten sense 3.0 update from htc. I hope the inspire will get it. Either sense 3 or ice cream sandwich. At least HTC isn't like samsung. I think when my contract ends in 2013 I'm gonna get a nexus. Reason I didn't get the nexus s was because it was made by samsung. And I had a captivate and had so much trouble with samsung....

Been on ATT smartphones for far to long to hold out any hope. Once the phone goes EOL it is company policy that no more updates are to be given. Per ATT guidlines phones go EOL after 8 months. But here to hoping lol
