I'm curious how would everyone here feel about the HTC OTA Update if it was to come on the 1st of August or more simply put prior to Alpharevx S-0ff and the OTA closes the exploit they "say" they have accomplished.
FUBAR IMO.
Any other thoughts on this?

The chances of HTC actually putting out the update anytime soon are very very slim and none IMO. The thought of what is the chances of snow in Fla in August comes to mind. I believe if they were really serious about putting out the unlock update that it would have been out by now or a definite time frame established( I believe they mentioned something about August to test and release in Sept but no time frame(just coming soon) for the US sensation, correct me if I am wrong.). I really have lost faith and respect for HTC. The only other phone that I have had that rivals the Sensation in issues is the G2X and I have them both at this time(I know I am a sucker for all the latest and newest electronic toys) They both have marvelous potential and excellent hardware but who knows if and when they will ever live up to their promises or becomes the phones they have the capability to be.
Was it a bad idea for Bell users to do the latest update? (1.35.666.1)

HTC is actually UNLOCKING the bootloader, not trying to lock the phone. Wait for 2 months for that to have happened. Rejoice if AlphaRev is earlier, if you want.

I wouldn't care because I'm not about to install an OTA before I get S-OFF.
Agreed I won't UAE the OTA until I have s off

Many sensation owners do not believe that S-off wil be coming by HTC. too all you disbelievers out there, i attach proof. Just spoke to a customer advisor right now. this is what i was told. i thought i would make a new thread as all the other threads get clogged up with off topic clutter, so please keep this topic related, and update it if we receive any more info on bootloaders. There is hope out there
Naturally i pencilled in my device number
I hope this is true, I mean it shouldn't be hard for them HTC to unlock their own bootloaders! Look at Motorola they did it. Hopefully it will be soon! Before fall I am keeping my fingers crossed!
i hope we will have the S-OFF in a few days ....
i cant live much more with s-on

+1 for that, why we don't have the same unlocking process like Sony ??
I'm not really fussed with S-OFF as the internal memory is the only reason I rooted my Desire BUT it would be nice to remove the apps I don't use just to tidy things up a bit. That and put the stock boot animations on

If your a noob and you brick your device, you should be required to pay a fee for them to unbrick it. That should only be fair.
i think the noob will not unlock the bootloader, my oncle have a Desire and he don't know nothing about bootloader and flash, i do that for him....
That chat box doesn't say anything that hasn't already been said. It's just worded different. A waste of a thread that will do nothing but get peoples hopes up.
Nothing more than we already know. BTW, the earpiece will likely come back sounding the same.
I'm new to android.
Can someone clear this out for me:
* S-OFF means Bootloader unlocked?
* I'm asuming HTC will make an update for all devices which automatically unlocks the bootloader of any sensation? Or will the bootloader only be unlocked with the new devices?
call me hater, i don't trust HTC, hope they will prove that I'm wrong

Lucky guy. Also happy to see T-Mobile actively supports the development community which leads me to believe that they won't block the S-OFF roll out from HTC.

Dunno. Coming from my n1 running cm7 I don't miss it. Apps like feedr go poof, weak camera, poor corporate network support. All things that just work on the sensation stock rom. With the exception of nandroid there's not
A thing I need root for. On the n1 I needed it to work around all the limitations of the various roms out there, not the case with the sensation.

Smh yea it will get updated but not in the time it should. Watch us get an update really late on mid 2012.

Yeah but here is the thing...what will HTC add with ICS...remember in all actuallity the OEM system is now Gingerbread but mysense added to it...your user expirience is the redheaded T-mo branded version of sense (which I hate compared to the real one) So is HTC going to release ICS with sense 3.5 or will it be like the phones released early next year with sense 4.0? So yeah while we will have probally Cyanogen 8 and maybe ICS AOSP I can't wait to see a ROM that is ICS with Sense....
I work for HTC. We haven't finished announcing what devices will receive ICS.

Well I seen a story posted on the web by AndroidCore about the HTC devices and the Doubleshot was not on it...but one question was since t-mobile branded it from HTC wonder if it would be up to T-mo....there should be no reason the doubleshot would get overlooked it is a new device now...
Well looks like it was front page here...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/
The decision is a combination of HTC and T-Mobile. More importantly, you should simply focus on the fact we aren't finished announcing devices that will receive the ICS upgrade.

Read the "version". This bug was present on Froyo, and on other devices - on Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GRI40). Most probably fixed by now, and that's why it's disclosed.
So htc has had a few privacy issues recently...awesome. I'm assuming newer mt4g would not have this issue? My sister just got it and if it doesn't have the newest update, then id want to help her get it

Only if you aren't rooted . All we need is an RUU and then we can get ROMs updated, and people can run the RUU to get it officially.

Unlikely. Yes their profits are falling quite severely but weren't they banking on the One series to "restore the faith" if you will? If this is the case the only way HTC can get customers to trust them again is to bring out updates on time, this way they reduce the negative reports about slow updates and are likely to attract more customers beased on their already good build quality etc.
