Well then, I guess I'm already upgraded.

thanks... i'm glad we got the leak i will read everyones response about it ut right now i'm still on 1.5 and very happy....

Didn't see a download link just looks like they r getting all their ducks in a row for the release.

this sucks.. if its the same as the leak, then they broke my bluetooth connection to my link to cell panasonic home phone. It works in 1.5 but is broken in 2.1, wtf?

Same here 2.1 bluetooth is some broke-a$$ sh!t. I rolled back to 1.5 simply so that my Kenwood car stereo would work. The benefits of 2.1 don't outweigh the broken bluetooth.
I hope it's fixed on the EVO, I can live with Fresh 1.1 until then

nandroid backup and flash this kernal over it

on topic there should be a thread talking about everyones experince with it....

Not sure if this matters but on the support site is says Firmware - 2.1 Eclair. I think the firmware on the leak is 2.1 update1.

Ok, being a complete rookie at this rooting, are you saying this kernal will have a working bluetooth? but this is not 2.1 correct.

No indication of a Firmware Update when checking OTA.

There won't be. Sprint has already stated this will be OTW only.

I knoow it is for 1.5 and that is what used it for.

No one has been able to......yet.

Too bad this is the same as the leak. My bluetooth is broken, Sense crashes all the time. HTC dropped the ball on this one. Makes me very concerned about my EVO coming up.
I was really going to debate the Nexus One and EVO if they were both available. Mainly cause of OS updates. Now I have no choice.

You could always just keep the hero and wait for the next android phone to come out. I read that an nvidia tegra based android phone will come this year. Now that's something to be excited about.

It is still not available on sprint but HTC has it.

The big question would be: is that how Sprint is going to to the update, through HTC's site? Or should people wait for it to pop up on Sprint's site?

There And Back Again (my trip to the Nexus S from Inspire 4G)

Shame on me.
2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...
I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...
I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..
Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!
Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...

Netflix works fine on the latest Gingerbread update for Inspire. I don't know about google videos.

netflix works fine..

So does video calls with Skype, just no FFC, and the GB update was rolled out a couple weeks ago. I know google videos won't work with rooted devices, but I don't know about the stock Inspire ROM

Hold on... why and how Google video is not allowed on rooted phones (i have stock rooted)??
Also the GB update isn't unstable still?
Tnx so much for the netflix app!

yea - no disagreement here.
And just realized I missed your question about the stability of the GB update - I hadn't heard anything about it being unstable. I'm currently running virtuous unity v 1.33 (GB 2.3.4), which is in Beta, and seems incredibly stable to me. There are other GB ROMs that have been out for a WHILE that are also incredibly stable. If you're already running stock rooted, then you have root and guessing you're s-off, why not flash a custom GB ROM?

Oh no i meant the OFFICIAL one... I tried various roms and the only one I feel confortable with on the Inspire is the stock with sense and stock radio... So when I heard about the official GB update I was very happy... instead it's full of major bugs.. shame.
I will wait till they fix the update and somebody cooks the original rom... I'm not really a Sense fan but it performs very well on their devices...

Yes I noticed... I was reading the 62 pages of your thread and you are a damn rock... they threw anything at you ... I'm at page 18, it's quite gripping, better than hbo series lol... XD
BTW I'm gonna download it and report my opinion... I'm hard to change ROM and get too far from the stock/ish ones and this seems what i was looking for..
Anyho... I will keep reading... If you need some customized graphic I'm a (decent) designer... LMK.

I kinda agree with ben there. Seems i lil sci-fi to me if you ask. An OTA sense AND android os 2.3.5 upgrade with no media hype by HTC or any community buzz whatsoever...
What i'm saying is that this may well be true, but its a lil prickly to swallow (no pun intended). Could you please substantiate with some screenshots? Then you'd be a hero here!!
EDIT : Well then, i stand corrected. Sorry for being such a skeptic. You ARE right about this i guess. My apologies...
P.S. Thanks ben for the info.

We know that the software is in the making as there was an official leaked chinese ROM that we've had in development area for a few weeks now, but this was test-keys (meaning not ready for release - beta/alpha software), but no hype.....for an actual release.....does seem like a missed opportunity on their part!?

NO need for blasphemy!
where's all the peace gone?

Is that a new radio I see there? :-D

OMG !!!!!!!!!! WOW. I can picture this being made into the BEST sense ROM in the near future by LBC, proxuser or many others.
Odd thing is, HTC gave no official statement, anywhere. Also, this is not yet available in India. I would have thought they'd make a HUGE THING about this update.........

Someone in the German forum seemed to be having problems with the Power Options menu (that pops up on a long power button press) not appearing.
As I often need shut down my phone to preserve battery, this feature is important to me.
Could anyone kindly confirm whether Power Options menu is actually working or broken on this latest release?
thanks,

Request: official i.c.s ota review

I tried going through all the ics related topics here but couldnt really find an extensive hands-on review of the update. So if you could post what changes the new update brings, its pro's/ cons, how smooth or laggy it feels etc.
Would appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Hmm... I think there is no single review for it, but here and there, people have posted a lot about it.
No signs of it in India yet.... The wait is killing...

All i could gather from the topics is that the update has a lot of bugs. Heck im not even sure if this update was only meant for elevate members. The only thing i care about is sense 3.6 should not be resource heavy and ics should use the hardware of the sensation to its full extent. I love sense but 3.0 is a powerhog and im forced to use go launcher.

IMHO the update is very good. It improves a lot the overall performances and it is a pleasure to use the Sensation (I repeat overall...) as it has never been.
I've only found one really annoying bug: the default browser doesn't load directly a link from another app (eg. twitter), but it needs a second tap because the first one opens up the last visited page. So you need to exit fromthe broser and re-tap the desired link.
This becomes very annoying when you need to use google search...first try: latest visited page; exit browser + second try: search results.
This one and the few spelling mistakes here and there in some menus could have been the reason of the pre-release to the elevate members, to have them reported, then fix them and finally release a bug free update, but now that we know this is the final release I think these are ridiculous bugs.
I can only think they released the update even with these few errors because of the competition with samsung to be the first to give ICS to the customers...again: riduculous!
I hope they are aware of this and release a fix soon enough...

Thanks roland
So the default browser is trouble free but not so when visiting links from another app. Shouldnt bother me much. Though it is dissapointing to see htc make such mistakes, seems they didn't focus too much on testing. Im pretty sure itll be atleast a month before we see the update in india, hopefully all the bugs would be sorted by then.

Yes it still says HTC Sensation XE just about everywhere even when i send something via bluetooth. Its just the peocessor saying 1.2 now instead of 1.5 as before. the last update was downloade but kept saying verifying. Got impatient and cleared it. Just want to know how do i get it clocking 1.5 again videos and pictures looks really cool and works smooth though.
