HTC Hero, Samsung Moment Not Getting Android 2.2 Update [Sprint Reveals Via Twitter That Froyo Is Not Coming To Cheaper Android Phones]
![HTC Hero, Samsung Moment Not Getting Android 2.2 Update [Sprint Reveals Via Twitter That Froyo Is Not Coming To Cheaper Android Phones]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/thumbs/alt/sprintlogoTFTSThumb180125.jpg)
Some unfortunately news for a few Android users out there. Sprint users carrying an HTC Hero and Samsung Moment will not be getting the Android 2.2. This comes on the same day that Sprint announced that the hot HTC EVO 4G will be getting the Android 2.2 update.
Sprint announced this in the following Tweet via their official Twitter page:
HTC EVO will be updated to Android 2.2; Samsung Moment & HTC Hero will not. Future devices launching w/ 2.1 will be also be updated to 2.2.
That’s all she wrote. Not much of an official explanation. We’ve reached out to Sprint’s PR folks for further explanation of why they’ve decided not to update the Moment and Hero to Android 2.2.
Of course, there’s always the modder community. Reportedly, those at the xda-developers forum have already begun working on patching in support for Android 2.2 Froyo into the Moment and Hero. Of course, not everybody is comfortable using custom ROMs and it’s a bit disappointing seeing Sprint do this.
We’ll update this page when we hear back from Sprint.
