I just spoke with Verizon customer service and they have no idea when or IF our Touch Pro 2 will get the Windows 6.5 ROM update.
They tell me this just as they released the same phone minus the external keyboard (Imagio) with Windows 6.5 already installed!
Guess we need to keep waiting.........
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UPDATE: I sent HTC an email asking about the update and this is their response:
Thank you for contacting HTC about updating the Verizon Pro2 to Windows Mobile 6.5.
I understand wanting to keep the device up-to-date. Regretfully, HTC does not currently have a software update for your device. The carriers request all software updates for the devices that they offer from HTC. Once the carrier contacts HTC about updating the software or changes to the devices, HTC’s Research & Development Team work with same department from the carrier to create the software. When and update is created it is tested by the carrier and then HTC host the software on our web site for download by customers free of charge or at http://www.pcdphones.com/uts_downloads.aspx. The updates are individually adaptered for each device and carrier.
You can also visit www.hctwiki.com for self-help and to participate in a survey.
Thank you,

I wish their response was that Verizon was currently testing the new ROM. Instead, it seems that HTC has not even received the request from Verizon to get a new ROM ready....... Now I wonder if I should have gotten the Imagio instead.......
i think we are definately going to see the hspl before we see any stock 6.5 roms. and once we get the hspl then its all custom after that anyway. it woulda been fun to play with 6.5 while waiting for the hspl, but oh well
someone from ppcgeeks posted a reply from HTC Support saying they are just about to startdeveloping the new 6.5 Rom updates...so its gonna be awhile if that is true
I was talking to the Verizon guys yesterday and the one I was talking to said there were rumors of the end of this month, but it depends on something with Microsoft. I'm not so sure he understood what I was talking about though, so take it with a grain of salt hah.

Agreed. I dont know what it is like at every carrier...but this phone (HTC TP2) is getting rav reviews and selling out here in the states.. I don't get the lack of motivation...

Here's the cynic in me:
A: They've already sold the phone, and they're selling like hotcakes so why change it... then again why put the effort in if they weren't selling? haha
B: Funny thing about them selling out, the local "Premium VZW dealer" (Not actually verizon) doesn't stock HTC phones and only stocks blackberries as they are easier to use... which is funny because they've lost selling at least three premium phones in the last couple weeks amongst my friends.
I am getting tired of winmo bashing.
I actually talked to their tech support a few days ago and he said that it was in the cards, but there wasn't an official date yet. Perhaps they're modifying the ROM for their services *shrugs*
Nah eff that, if verizon does some stupid modifying for there server, i really hope we get a hard-spl soon. I never really cared if we did itd be nice ofcourse. But thats why verizon phones suck so much is there damn way they do there stuff.
I would imagine that they would want to push out 6.5 to the few thousand people who have 6.1 Touch Pro 2's. I'm sure they don't want to have to support both 6.5 and 6.1 on tech support as it would increase costs. Hopefully, the hold up is related to tweaks HTC and Verizon are making to fix the annoying little things. Maybe we'll see the update when the TP2's get back in stock as they probably want all of them to be the same.
I just talked with a couple of verizon business reps and its rumored internally with the company that the 6.5 rom will be released the end of OCT. Microsofts website states OCT/NOV.

It seems to me a little weird that they all of a sudden where out of stock a few days before 6.5 and the new Imagio phone. I think like on the Storm they have just taken them out of circulation and when they return the new ones will have 6.5 and we will have a new ROM. This happened twice with the Storm when it got updates to the Blackberry OS. It was out of stock for 3 weeks when the current update was rolled out then all of a sudden it was in stock again and the update was on their site. I'm kinda wandering if when we get 6.5 we are also gonna see the phone having VCast TV like the Imagio. Its probably hardware capable. Of course its been out for three years now and its still only in the same 20 markets with a promise of more to come that entire time.
why
I don't think they're going to release 6.5 for the TP2 ever. Why bother? They can't even manage their own website half the time. Obviously they don't have the resources to upgrade stuff for 'free'.
Plus, even if they did, I wouldn't bother, assuming XDA cracks this bastard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be HTC to release the update anyway??
Got 2 ROM ups for my Titan before, so..........

My previous Verizon phone was an XV6800 (Titan) and they came out not with one, but with TWO ROM upgrades during the time I had it, so I have hope that we will get the upgrade soon. Check this website, they have Vendors ROMS for many phones. Hopefully we will see the TP2 listed soon!

There will be a 6.5 rom update available for our phones. It's just a matter of when. Some say it could be another month or two.

Almost forgot to mention this as well, I had a titan myself, a very useful but unfortunately very underpowered phone. Anyway, in case anyone missed this, here's the estimated time for the 6.5 ROM updates for the TP2's

You stated exactly what I was going to say to him. With the XV6800 sure it was locked out of several things (e.g. GPS) and what not but all ROM updates were FREE to download from the site. Also as most have seen they have released the 6.5 ROM over in Europe, so it is only a matter of time before Verizon releases the ROM. Oh and for those that don't know it is Verizon who choose the date at which to release the ROM, HTC and Microsoft only provide the software.
Anywho...my TP2 rocks and I can't wait for the ROM to be released, 6.5 is an excellent upgrade from 6.1 as far as finger friendly, and touch screen go.
Hey guys, so like many of you ive been waiting for an official release of marshmallow for the galaxy s6, because as anyone who is at least a semi curious photographer knows that the camera api 2 manual controls are completely broken in android lolipop and the stock camera cant do half the setting that camera api 2 offers....
Anyways ive been reading that the camera api 2 in android M has been fixed and even the stock camera ap has got new manual settings which is the main reason i am so interested in android M.
However.... I see that Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and UK which are all around Portugal got the update and yet Portugal (which is 1 of the most advanced countries in the world internet wise speaking) is still waiting for how many more weeks?
What kind of parameters are used to choose the Country update priority?
Best Regards.
Nobody knows priority or parameters that samsung uses ...
For s6 i guess france and vodafone providers have priority...

They cant really be that random because since the days of Galaxy S2, Portugal has got the middle finger in the update priority, i was hoping that would change with Galaxy S6 but apparently it didnt....
It's really bad, the update policy of Samsung. How random can you be? Country for country, why not whole Europe at once
Join the club. I've not seen any MM update here in Norway either.
Because they take isocell on first priority lol

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is already displayed in Portugal at the typical stores for a few days already, with the price of 999€ (1000€) for the gold galaxy s7 128GB, that proves that Portugal isnt insignificant for Samsung.
Maybe they confused software update with hardware update and instead of releasing us Marshmallow for Galaxy S6 they released Galaxy S7
still waiting on EE UK also

Lol i guess times changed, back in the days having an unlocked phone meant that we were the first to get the updates and carriers would either follow the boat or simply refuse to do so.
Now it semms that there might be some dirty tactics of time exclusivity, as in, Carriers like Vodafone paying up for beying the first to release a new version of the software so everyone who dont want to wait long might consider in the future to choose Vodafone instead of a carrier free phone, i dont find that surprising if true... because it makes 0 sense for a brand to release an update sooner than unbranded, since Samsung provides the software already ready to compile and ready to run and Vodafone has to waste extra time to add their junk in the phones.
Do consumers care that much about updates delayed for a few weeks to sway their buying decision towards buying from a network carrier rather than unlocked? I mean, we in this forum surely care about that kind of thing, but Average Joe out there, I don't know

I think its safe to say that it will have the opposite effect, instead of wanting the newest galaxy model they will simply feel betrayed and move on to another brand alltogether, then give bad reviews to that Corporation for their friends, collegues and possibly even on the internet if some are geek enough.
Look at Rise of Tomb raider, Microsoft paid millions to have that game exclusive to XboxOne and yet everyone boycotted the crap out of that game because of such dirty tactic.
But greedy companies will never get it, they will always try it again and again to boost their sales, even if it actually hurts them instead.

There is no update for unbranded Hungarian firmawares.
Only Vodafone.
Samu is just starting releasing for t-mobile also, BUT WHY NOT for THE UNBRANDED ONES are the first?
that take less work than customize operator releated Firmwares...
I bought an unbranded because of faster updates......
ps: I have got the 6.0.1 upate today ( XEH)
Because most other nations on the planet also haven't received the update.
Seems we can't visit this place without a constant whiney noise emanating from every other thread. Calm the hell down, all of you.

Originaly targetted for begining of 2016 but since there are no news since then I would assume the answer is Never!
I am in the same struggle and I made the mistake to purchase it few months ago.
Hi guys
I contacted HTC customer support asking them when the HTC ME would receive the promised Marshmallow update. They replied saying that there are no more upgrades planned for this device. So seems like we are stuck on Lollipop forever. I am terribly disappointed in HTC. It is an unethical company which doesn't seem to be able to keep its promises. No wonder they are doing so poorly in their market shares globally and trailing behind the competition. I am definitely not buying any more HTC devices. And this comes from a loyal customer who has been using HTC phones all his life. But I guess it serves them right. A company that cannot keep its loyal customers is bound to doom.
Dear All,
sorry for adding another thread who may be has been written as a same subject in by different peoples. but honestly my frustration reached a level that i can not be quite any more.
i don't want to go through how much its important from OEMs to have a proper time line to update their devices on time (especially after the famous android vulnerability case) last year but i am especially surprised by HUAWEI as a company who already have foot print in mobile industry.
I have a huawei device (P9 Dual Sim) since November 2016 and i only received two updates since then. i can not imagine a company with lazy fat butt who are only worry about how many devices they sold only. Android Nougat still a dream for me. i look left and right on the web just to hear any news that when i will receive it, but no hope. the funny thing is that i encouraged five of my friends to buy huawei P9 and they looking at me as the delays are my fault.
huawei, WAKE UP
where is EMUI 5.0 ??
its no shame if you announce it that you can not oblige yourself with time frames.

Stuck on EVA-L09C16B170 (South Africa) here.
Quite a shame, they've released the P10, so no more updates on the P9...?
Frustratingly we too are stuck on EVA-L09C432B182 (UK). Sadly I bought it from O2... and they dont care about their customers at all!!!!!!
OTA's are not an exact science in some cases... But there are different methods to trigger an update and if all official ways fail you can still "sideload" it through dload method. Look through this forum to find guides on how to do it - it's not that hard.
I have the dual sim too. And i still have the December security update.

As long as you don't unlock your bootloader and root the phone etc. you don't lose warranty. Which is not needed for dload, as previously stated. And even then (with re-locked bootloader) it's unclear to me if they really deny warranty. Luckily I never had to use mine
But it's understandable that you are careful. It's the same for me when I get a new phone. I put on screen protectors and cases, but now that I have mine for a year I go naked!

Greetings people,
I am planning on buying a P20 PRO, could you please tell me what the best version to get is? the one that gets the most updates?
Any reasons i should not buy this phone?
How often does this phone receive security patches and updates in general ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Depends what are you accustomed to. If coming from iOS, be aware we get major updates slower. And in same country different areas gets updates differently.
For me Bluetooth haven't worked at all. And it isn't hardware, but some other unknown reason.
Photos are phenomenal on this phone, as is battery life. There is lag and stutter here and there, but if you have used Android phones before, I think u won't see it. Only iOS users can?

You better look for used unit which already have its bootloader unlocked. So that you can always get updates faster. (as you can do it yourself, by flashing update file without have to wait for OTA arrive)
and the biggest reason not to buy huawei phone today is because they stop the bootloader unlocking process support.
else, phone is very good.
If you really up to for the new one, get CLT L29 either C432 or C636 both have better supports
asian international c636 is the best one
Can someone please explain the difference between models? What's the deal? Sry for noob question..
