2.3 Doesnt have that many new things, but still awesome. I know you can get it through CM7 and other roms, but an official rom will help future ports and increase stability of user created roms, possibly the stability of CM7 on mt4G.
HTC rep told me it was coming end of feb, then saw her again and she told me it was definitely coming middle of march. So while not exactly a lofty goal projecting an entire quarter of a year for a release date, I'll just acknowledge that it's probably coming. someday. definitely maybe.
Sweet! I cant wait for this update!!
It should be in June when the evo 3d comes.

Hopefully we get it soon, but I can wait. 2.3 isn't bringing anything groundbreaking to the table compared to 2.2.

Remember Folks,
Those of us who are brave enough, have had 2.3 for a while thanks to Cyanogen, etc. I will not wait for HTC, they seem to take their time. Not to mention they still haven't put out 2.2 for the MT3G Slide... Besides this will be the last update from HTC if the buyout goes through. Why support a phone that will be a paperweight in a year or so...

There i fixed it for you, and you hit the nail on the head with everything else.
The only reason an official 2.3.3 is good, is for the kernel source and the new lib files for sense and 2.3 that are native to our phone. Makes future ports that much easier.

I know, Ive been using CM7 for a while, but the official 2.3 from HTC is still big news for those who prefer the stock rom. Ill probably go back to stock once the OTA's start rolling out. Also, as stated before, native and official kernels and code will make future ports a lot more easier and stable.

So I updated to the official 2.2 (go ahead and boo). My wife has the Aria and I did her upgrade a few hours ago, and her Aria is running 2.2.2. It weird that the Captivate only got 2.2 and not 2.2.2?
It's weird that the Captivate even got 2.2

Its not that odd, as HTC as always been one step ahead of the others, when it comes to updates. It will most likely see 2.3 as well long before we do.

Well the update from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 is a few bug fixes from what I have seen. Like an sms fix for sending out wrong sms to the wrong person, but if going from 2.2 to 2.2.2 then there are alot of extras like BT dialing, better support for exchange accounts, the SMS fix and a few other things I am sure

Thanks I have a buddy with this phone back east and wanted to see if it was worth having him give it a shot but sense he is on cyanogenmod I think Ill have him stay where he is for now.
As for your question yeah it is normal for HTC to be ahead of the rest on updates. To be honest if ATT had the Inspire when I got the Galaxy then I would have gotten it instead as I know the updates are more often and they are easier to mod. Thanks for the SS

That is the one I read about for the update.
I know it would be a fair amount of work and I don't have the moxie to do it, but it would sure be nice to have an objective pro/con list of Froyo, 2.2.2, 2.3, and a few of the top XDA Roms now available. I'm happy that I've gone to the "dark side" but I have to admit that I'm curious about the pros/cons of returning to stock versus all the other alternatives. I really wonder if 2.3 will/would be a significant advance over what we now have available. Any thoughts?
No problem.

And my point is proved here lol
HTC getting 2.3
I asked Cyanogen if we should expect Cyanogenmod on the Sensation, and he's definitely leaning towards YES. He's thinking about buying a Sensation himself. I'd rather get a phone that I know the man himself will have it. This news, is great news! I'm excited! Does this change anyones mind about getting this phone?

Excellent news!
Wow!
The most important feature of this phone is becoming true . Beyond this point I don't care if the devil himself would be holding the phone in his death grip
Thought that someone will propably bring CM7 to this, but after having Nexus One and having the honor to use CM6 and CM7 on it, the dream about Steve himself changing from same phone to same phone at the same time feels like dream come true
Be very welcome Steve !
Cyan is the best mod maker. Ill glady use his rom.
well still need the phone unlocked before we get anything, htc is yet to come with their magic they promised

Nice. They also posted that the S is coming off soon.
i didn't know what CM7 was, so i went to check it out. found a youtube video with a guy doing a detailed review of CM7 on a galaxy S (not S2). and, i gotta say the performance was absolutely mindblowing. if my sensation was just half as smooth as that... MAN. what astonished me most was how easy he pulled down the notification bar... just a swipe down from the top and it came down, following his finger perfectly in a buttery smooth motion. that does not work at all on my sensation. in fact i stopped trying to swipe the notification bar down cause it's too hard to accomplish, always takes 3 or more swipes to do it - and when it finally comes down, compared to that CM7 on galaxy S video, it stutters down and looks just awful while doing it. damn. i felt really good about my sensation (coming from a blackstone touch hd) but now that i've watched that video... i'm pissed at HTC for making my phone look like a weakling compared to older single core android phones... when i decided to get the sensation, i never would have thought that the UI responsiveness and overall snappieness were going to be my biggest issues with this 1,2 GHz DUAL CORE "uberphone".
i know this doesn't exactly belong in this thread, sorry. didn't feel like it was worth opening another *****ing-about-the-performance-thread.

I heard that s-off is here so I went and bought mine today.
Will be good to see CM7 on Sensation in the future, I just hope it performs well. When I had my Desire I found CM7 to be a tad buggy (random restarts mostly and boot loops) even on a stable release, same thing on a friends Desire HD. For this reason I turned away from CM7 and flashed LeeDrOid.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Sensation but when CM7 comes out for it I'll give it a go.

CM7 has always been super stable for me.
When in doubt, fastboot wipe, then flash, then don't set up right away but let it sit there on the sign-in screen for 5 minutes before you touch it.
I've been running cm7 on my Glacier for like 7 months and it's way more stable than the stock rom, lol.
I cannot wait.... stepping up from good old hd2 to the sensation with CM7 should be amazing....
I've heard something about, that CM on HTC devices is allways WITHOUT HTC Sense.
Is this correct?
On my htc Desire i've used LeeDroid and InsertCoint but never CM... But as it looks like CM will be the first ROM with android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 for our sensation. So finally google talk with video will be available...

CyanogenMOD ROM is AOSP Android (with tons of addons/tweaks/etc) with ADW.Launcher as the built in Launcher.
No Sense. Never will Sense be on a CyanogenMOD ROM.
why the hell would you WANT Sense on a custom rom?? Sense is what makes your phone BUGGY and SLOW! My first phone was the original Desire (bought it in China, brought back to the US, unable to use 3G as a result of it being a European model with no American radio bands) with stock Froyo and 2.2. I rooted it and put CM7 on (2.3.3, later updated to 2.3.4 as a result of the nightlies).. it easily ran 3x faster and much smoother...
CM > all.
Sense = garbage, even 3.0..
I could have picked up another Sensation while I was in China for Steve to abuse, lol..
Really hope this comes out soon.... Tired of all of these sense port roms. I just want my stock gingerbread.... I can't believe that I miss my nexus one because of this...
Ok so we got our radio finally. When do our awesome devs get ahold of a real gb ruu leak. Then well really see some magic happening around here.

From what I've heard it won't be Sense 3.0 either. The only thing i think can really be improved is the crazy battery drain the GB roms suffer from. Everything else (to me of course) is golden now. Thank god so many great developers have the same phone as me haha!

I honestly hope it won't be Sense 3.0. That is one huge thing keeping me away from gb roms. 3.0 turns android into sense and it loses its identity I feel. I think 3.0 is just too much...

I didn't like it when we first started getting roms based on it as well (it was so choppy), but now that they're smooth and almost bug-free, I love the transitions. Oh well, to each his own.
If they went through all the effort and bandwidth for this last ota fix update... I wouldn't hold your breath for a quick GB release... Its sad they should have skipped it and just pounded out GB IMO. That is just my thoughts.

There is no difference between froyo and GB when it comes to battery life. If you leave data on (4G) then you're going to suffer in terms of battery no matter what rom you're on.
Just turn off mobile data when you're not using it.

Htc has already stated that single core phones will not be getting sense 3.0.
Here's a screeny from the other day. Notice how I was on Wifi for a good amount of time, but also my signal was poor all day long as well. Disabling mobile data goes a long way trust me.

I'm talking about the fact that I personally didn't need to do that with froyo like I do with GB roms. I also turn of my mobile data when I'm not using it, and it doesn't bother me at all (wouldn't go back to froyo if you put a gun to my head). I get about the same results as you with turning off my mobile data when I'm not using it, I just got the same results with froyo with 4g on all the time. My 2 cents.
I've heard that GB won't be released until maybe around Christmas. I'm in VA & also heard that LTE won't be here until as well. Any insights to any of this? Would greatly appreciate any info.

can i root with superoneclick or easy root with mac?
now the gb is out i know the devs are gonna get to work on it.
for those that updated have you notice there is no camera app?????
there is a camera app, just that it's stock rather than lg's.
no really the stock camera app is missing its not there. i did a factory reset and still is not there.. would have to use another app from the market
that's weird. it's there for me. i did a hard reset after i flashed...
ok well i was thinking about that but like i cant root after the update i didnt wanted to lose all my apps from titanium backup lol

I don't really care about the GB update. I already have that running the CM nightlies. I want a stable and working phone. One I can depend on to make calls day in and day out. One that gets the same battery life day in and day out. I want the LG drivers to make everything function properly. Mad props to the CM guys for doing what LG has failed to do so far, but now it is time for LG to deliver a REAL working, bug free update so we can experience the phone we are supposed to have.

Gooood.... Goooood.....
Keep in mind, we don't actually have the galaxy s 2, we have the skyrocket version, plus we have att's draconian certification process to get through. I'd love to see it on that date but I'll believe it when I see it.

Actually, with AT&T already giving the Vivid the ICS update, I'd say that this could be pretty realistic.
At least we know if it doesn't come soon, it's not AT&T, it's Samsung.
ICS has not been released for the Vivid. That is someone talking out of turn (a dedicated tester or volunteer tester). That realease would be all over Android Central and our website.

Yeah, and why are they able to check for updates, and get it?

Love how they mention that leaked roms from Samsung are showing signs of progress. My question is, WHERE ARE THE ICS LEAKS FOR THE SKYOCKET?!?
When I had my Captivate we were getting new gingerbread leaks almost every day for several months. Who do we need to talk to to get some leaks for us? Anyone know???

Oh, and had to hit the thanks button on Fortune and Silver's posts above. Needed a good laugh!

How do over the air updates with AT&T's work? Isn't just a pop-up box you can cancel or are they forced or what? I rooted my mom's phone but left in stock. Not sure what to expect.

It gives you a notification saying you have an update available, if you want to install it or not, is your choice.
Sometimes you'll even get a text informing you that your phone has an update available.
Another question for the updates, is it only for carrier sold phones? I bought mine at the US but I'm at Israel and I still haven't received the 2.3.6 update.
Very good news, will open development of some nice ROM's. Maybe it will keep me from flashing once or twice a week.
I doubt it. We'll see though, hopefully they surprise.

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?
This is coming from an Android noob btw, so if there was extra features besides the FaceUnlock *useless imo* and sleek UI please enlighten me.

The real benefit will be the Kernel getting into the hands of the Devs. In time, they will do many thing with it including a non-Touchwiz version ROM.

From what I understand ICS is completely redone. There are alot of new code and things done different from previous versions of Android. I can understand why nothing has really been released yet. I know there is a couple versions of ICS over in the development section but there are very few things that work.
