Thread: Android 2.3 update worth it?

Hey,
I've read some things that have said that it is worth it, but others say it is a bit risky etc because of the fact that you cant restore your phone to Froyo if you don't like Gingerbread.
So is it worth it?

Bump????????????

I upgraded and haven't looked back since!

I have done it sometime back and is very happy with the upgrade........go for it.

Can any one tell me the process to upgrade to 2.3. And also please let me know the precautions to take before upgrade like data backup etc....

1. Install HTC Sync and connect your Desire to the computer.
2. Backup your phone data accordingly.
3. Download the ROM upgrade here. (DO READ THE LICENSE AGREEMENT IN FULL FOR LIMITATIONS)
4. Extract the RUU from the zipfile to a location on your hard drive and run it to upgrade.

you can do it if you have a wifi connection

go to settings>about phone> software updates> check now

just follow the next step then wait for it to download... once its done wait for it to install oh btw... you need battery to do this dont update when your phone is drained lol..

just wait for it to install.. it takes several minutes.. go do something while waiting ^_^

and ta da! congratulations you are now on 2.3.3

Download the 161Mb Gingerbread upgrade from the HTC Developers site to your Desktop/Laptop. Backup your data (using apps or Google etc). Run sync with your PC/Laptop and ensure it doesn't sleep or hibernate. Place HTC in Airplane mode and ensure it's fully charged then run the upgrade. Went from 75Mb to 124Mb free. Seems quicker and smoother. Brilliant. Chris

This hasn't worked on my HTC Desire. I have 2.2 and it says it is up to date when I try to update it.

How does one back up an HTC Desire? The manual is very vague on this question with no clear instructions. I have not found where to down load the ROM upgrade either. Maybe I'm being a bit dim!
