HTC Desire, Legend & Wildfire Froyo 2.2 update due Q3 2010

Android 2.2 Froyo is out for the Nexus One, but what about HTC's range of own-brand smartphones? We've just spoken to the company's UK team, who have confirmed that HTC engineers are hard at work crafting up a Sense-friendly Froyo ROM. According to the company, we can start to expect the fruits of those labours from Q3 this year.

"We are working hard with our partners to update the HTC Sense experience on Froyo and distribute it to our customers as fast as possible. We expect to release updates for several of our 2010 models including Desire, Legend and Wildfire beginning in Q3" HTC

Devices in line for an update include the Desire and Legend, together with the newer Wildfire which we reviewed over the weekend. Froyo brings with it WiFi tethering together with performance increases; however we'll have to wait and see how HTC's carrier partners handle the roll-out, since they can often be another point of delay in the process as a whole.

HTC Legend AMOLED struggling with grayscale

By Chris Davies
on 2 Jun, 2010

The AMOLED display used by HTC for their Legend smartphone has ended up under the microscope this week, with Tweakers enlisting the help of color-testing equipment after the handset was criticised for not displaying grayscale colors properly. According to their results, the Legend's screen shows various degrees of pink, grey, brown and green rather than true grayscale. At this stage, Tweakers aren't conclusive on whether the issue lies with the AMOLED display itself, or its white balance settings. However, the effect - in varying degrees - was observed in two Legend handsets they tested. Meanwhile brightness was also down, with the Legend mustering 253 cd/m2 while its Hero predecessor - which uses an LCD display - managed 310 cd/m2. Unfortunately an HTC Desire wasn't available for Tweakers to similarly examine.
