Is the battery and memory management and device performance noticably better over 2.2?

I just got my Inspire 2 weeks ago and it still came with 2.2. When 2.3 comes out will AT&T push this update over wireless?

HTC will be were you get the update.

Believe it is scheduled for the "end" of July.

I can not even get the update to install third party apps so I am not going to hold my breath on getting Gingerbread in July.

People talk about these updates like they're gold, but I still don't understand what the improvement will be when GB arrives.

I have used custum Rom with gingerbread and my battery has been increased by almost 2 hours. The only problem I've been having is that most custom roms have sense 3.0 and drain the RAM pretty fast. Cm7 just doesn't work for me, it keeps rebooting, but its fast. But the RAM should be more efficient with gingerbread. So yes gingerbread can be important for people who multitake and need the most out of their battery.

Call att support and get them to push the update to your device. As for gingerbread, i agree it is not gonna come this month. It is more than likely comin in August.

An update is an update. You should always want them.

Careful zero, you might as well be telling the poor users who have yet to receive the push despite multiple attempts to shake their fists at the att deathstar in hopes of a better harvest.

Huh? I was just saying that att has no idea who has got it and who doesnt. If you call em and kindly ask them to push it, they sill gladly push it to your device.

Consider yourself lucky if it turned out to be that easy. A great many people here had to suffer through a process not unlike sending a bagger to the back of the grocery store to check a price on an item he didn't know existed.

Check out the last few pages of this thread
Htc Inspire sideload update!!!!

Wasn't really being all that serious though, seemed like a good opportunity to link to deathstar logo.

I guess I took us off task there, but the att reps have really frustrated the hell out of quite a few over the third party push.

The way my mother-in-law does it, she will ask to speak to a manager. If you get a manager that still doesn't know what you are talking about, ask to speak to their manager. She says, keep asking to speak to a manager until you get one that knows what you are talking about.

HTC will not give you the update. The service provider (AT&T) will send it out. Gingerbread 2.3 is already out and available w/o rooting the ROM. HTC makes the new ROM available. It's up to the provider to send it out

When my moms aria updated to 2.2 it had to be Downloaded from HTC not ATT.

**gscream** · 07-23-2011, 06:32 AM

What country are you in? Desire HD received the update from HTC. But from my understanding, Desires are sold in Europe and inspires in US. But either way, if you're in the US, that 2.2 is old. When I bought my Inspire a few months ago, it came with 2.2. I'm currently awaiting 2.3. Anyway, I figure you can get that 2.2 update anywhere.

It does come thru the manufacturer, but can't be released without AT&T's blessing. Typically when ready, it will be released to AT&T for testing and if approved they will provide that blessing. AT&T is notorious for sitting on upgrades for two or three months for testing.
