I see that dhd users are getting a ota for sence 3.0 and android 2.3.5 but the sensation is running 2.3.4 Wtf?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I believe we have 2.3.5 leaks which probably means it should be coming "soon."
Don't quote me though.
Word is we're skipping 2.3.5 to get 4.0 in the new year

I don't think that htc leave Sensation on 2.3.4 till ICS release, while desire s, desire hd and incredible s have already 2.3.5 with Se se upgrade (2.1 TO 3.0).
I don't belive that we Will have ics in earlyer 2012, but maybe in february, so i belive in an update TO 2.3.5 in this month.
I'm speaking basing that on my experience with Gingerbread upgrade or the last year (also with other manifacturer).

I hope you are right...this way htc could take a little bit more time to better develop the ICS update.
I think we'll have to wait at least until march to have android 4.0...and I don't think this would be a bad thing. More time to fix bugs, more time for developers to make their apps ICS-compatible, more time to develop the new sense ui (which I think will be the main reason why we'll have ICS around march). All this while we're still playing with android 2.3.5 and sense 3.5...I could have a lot of patience this way...
AFAIK Desire HD, incredible, etc have not yet been confirmed to get ICS, so their only way up is Gingerbread updates.
As far as Sensation goes, I still don't like that phones like SGSII, Nexus S etc are getting updated to 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 respectively and we are left behind but we made a conscious choice buying the Sensation so good luck to us.
On another note, I really like how Sony-Ericsson listened to their customers last year after the X10 fiasco and in my opinion are the leaders right now in update turnaround. They will probably be the first to release ICS for their current lineup, as they have already finished coding it. They are only waiting for country certifications now.
Very p*ssed off with HTC
The Galaxy S original which is a 2 year old device is getting official ICS.
They weren't originally, but people begged Samsung and now they are getting it. This shows Samsung listens to customers.
They announced ICS for new devices 2 days ago, people complained, then today announce ICS for the original Galaxy S
Us? HTC announce the first waves many weeks ago. We pester HTC all the time but they never listen to us, no plans for the next wave yet.
Come on HTC! Desire S, HD and Incredible are all still new and capable!
I really hope they feel pressured by Samsung now and compete to release ICS for us.
Please share your opinions!

Next time I'm due for an upgrade if HTC don't get their act together with software updates then I might just go elsewhere shame cos I really do like the hardware that comes in a htc
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
+1 I like the great combination of hardware and software.
I don't mind if our ICS update will take a little longer, I know HTC will have to work to reskin the UI.
But at least let us know. It's been nearly 2 months now, and where is the 2nd wave of devices?

Well... The Desire HD, Desire S, etc. are all FAIRLY old devices.
I never keep my electronic devices for more then a year (as I'm sure many here don't either) so I can't see it as a big deal.
Root, install miui. Problem solved.

Yeah, the DHD May be old..
But the Desire S and Incredible S certainly isn't!!
They were only released in April, 7-8 months old only! And they aren't getting updates?
I only included the DHD, as it has the same/similiar specs.
The new XL is getting ICS, but it has exactly the same hardware as the DHD, Desire S!! (Just a overclocked CPU)
Think about it, the Galaxy S, 2 YEARS OLD, is getting ICS!
And Desire S (7-8 MONTHS OLD) hasn't even been confirmed to get ICS yet!
Come on HTC!

I hate it when people say this
I am already rooted, and running a Sensation XL ROM sense 3.5.
I can easily choose and install A ICS ROM now. (In fact already tested it)
But its always better to get official support from HTC, so devs can work from our base, and we get a proper kernel source etc.

First I don't know from where you get that Samsung is updating the SGSI to ICS please give source.
All i know is that Samsung said that they'll update the Galaxy SII and the Note
will get ICS in Q1 where as the Galaxy R and galaxy Tabs(exclude the first gen) later and no mention what so ever about the Galaxy S!
Secondly HTC never said that they aren't updating the Desire S Incredible S (which are mid range devices) and Desire HD to ICS, they've said clearly that the phones presented on their release were the first bunch to get ICS, and of course the most recent phones would get ICS first, and HTC did a good job updating devices like the Desire HD, with 2 major updates : 2.2 to 2.3.3 and to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0!
Thirdly from what I've seen HTC is planing to update their devices to ICS before samsung does, the sensation is planed to get it ICS update on februrary where as the SGSII update planed for April.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/17/bell-mobility-hints-at-ice-cream-sandwich-release-dates-for-gala/
And fortly you'll get the ICS roms and HTC leaks in the XDA community before the OEMs release their official roms (requirements and approval process takes time) if you want ICS I'm sure you can already download beta ICS rom for your device

Hi,
I found this in the Galaxy S thread. People are talking about it
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...lans-for-GALAXY-line-Galaxy-S-to-follow-later
Actually looking back now, not too sure about its reliability.
Yes, Samsung originally announced ICS for the newer phnes 2 days ago.
Then customers complained. And 2 days later, Samsung listend and supposedly said a Galaxy S original update will be coming soon, but later.
I know Desire S etc are mid range phones - it is capable of ICS and only 8 months old.
As I have already said, there are betas for me, I've already tried them.
I won't be using the official ROM anyway, I just want htc to make the update.
As I said a few pages back, if htc make the update, our devs can tweak and base newer ROM versions on the new base and kernel, which is better than using a ROM port.

That source doesn't look reliable to me at all, I've checked all the well known sources, such as Androidcentral, engadget,theverge, andoirdpolice and of course our source n1 which is XDA and there are no mentions on the Samsung Galaxy S I
Don't take me wrong, I am 100% with you when you say that HTC needs to bring ICS to those devices if possible (rom limitations comes to mind) but I'm being more realistic, and I'm considering the whole picture, and it looks that HTC is doing pretty good compared to it competition in terms of updates but that's still not enough as a customer I ask for me, Also at the same time I would like to give a shout to google! to give OEMs release candidate OS to play with and prepare their update a periode of time before they them self start releasing the final product, so we don't see this fragmentation in terms of OS OEMs skinned versions comes at about same time, or relatively some weeks later after the release on Nexus devices and not months later
Samsung officialy said no ICS for SGSI

Well, just flash a custom rom will do. At least Sammy did much better than Motorola and LG in terms of updates though. Not to mention Sammy devices have an open bootloader, unlike HTC or moto phones.

I'm already on a custom ROM. no intentions to use a official ROM. But its good to get a base and kernel source for devs to work on for best integration on our phones.

So, why do so many of you like HTC? Hardware is not that great, battery life is out the a$$, rooting is relatively annoying/complicated.

Sure, hardware isn't as superior as Samsungs etc, but software is the key.
It's far superior than Samsungs touchwiz and other UI's.
Battery life on some htc's are rubbish, but on my Desire S its decent.
Also, rooting for me was easier than on my Galaxy Tab, and my dads SGSII.
I guess its all Down To personal opinions.

With persistence, you'll get what you desire, keep on trying
Bellow you'll find a quote from the official HTC facebook page
"HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks."
Even the 2010 device the HTC DESIRE HD will be get ICS, and some more devices will be annouced in the upcoming weeks as it is said at the end of the quote.
the link for the news from the official facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-android-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrades/10150762287733084
Even if I'm a little disapointed with the dates that are being pushed a little put back (I guess the release of new devices at MWC has a priority) it is nice to see that HTC Are updating phone that came out in 2010, I think Motorola and Samsung should take notice of this.
Is it only due to the Sense Interface that the HTC Desire does not get an ICS update from HTC itself?

What has Sense got to do with it?
I think the delay has more to do with the fact that they are using their own overlay. The HTC Sense just like Samsung, and Motoblur they have to pretty much recode everything to work with the new software. What I don't understand is the fact that the beta for ICS came out in what Nov? Yet It's 5 months before HTC is going to put out their first ICS update it's very disappointing.
They publicly released the ICS code in Nov as well, but for in private I'm not sure why these companies were not giving it sooner.
I'm surprised the Sensation is the very first to get updated instead of all the newer ones at the same time.

i'll tell this to my friend who use sensation but hate htc.
Ice cream sandwich update
I am glad to see that the HTC sensation is one of the first phones to receive the much talked about ice cream sandwich update. I am wondering though because I have a rooted phone with the CID removed, if HTC would push the update or T-Mobile. I thing we may have a problem if T-Mobile pushes the update. That last one they did, they are soft bricked my phone. I had to get it manually from Xda developers. I just wanted to send this out as a warning to everyone that would update if they have a rooted phone, especially with the SID removed.
ICS in the Future HTC
Ice Cream Sandwich is the las version of Android devices but only two smartphone have this version Galaxy Nexus And Nexus S of Samsung, i like the idea the map road of update ICS for HTC devices, this include Sense 4.0 and ICS, the bad is the HTC is slowly update OTA performance, but the door is open
Nice, my fiancee will be very happy to hear that about her Sensation 4G!
Can't waiting, so I choose ARHD 6.2.1 for ICS taste

HTC Sensation @ ARHD 6.2.1

ARHD 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 rock thanks

comes because the need to let it be tested by google before its approved for release. this is the most time taking part of the rom.
Hopefully this should help the devs get some quality working ROMs out.
Even if HTC will support ICS on the Desire, AT&T had essentially cut all ties with the Inspire 4G. Main reason I rooted in the first place.

hope that sensation will have sense 4.0 update finally!
That is awesome!! THANXXX!!
