Apart from the obvious when, another question is how much of the Sense v3.0 will we get? ported ROMS have shown our hardware is capable of running the full Sense v3.0, will they agree?
they wrote we get sense 3.0, in the comments the wrote desire hd get PARTS of sense 3.0
so i guess we will get... full sense 3.0
WHAT!!!Is it a good news? It is quite laggy using Incredible S with sense 2.1,I don' t think it can handle sense 3.0

It's all a marketing strategy by HTC, to promote & sell new devices. For them DHD is old enough and perhaps achieved it's required sales quota. :S
this is really great news
cant wait for the update
Nice indeed. They probably made a customer support FB account so that people can vent there instead of the HTC page.
Really not sure about this, my Desire S goes really smooth now, and from what i`ve seen from the dual core Sensation is that it`s lagging a bit. Also with the same amount of RAM i`ve got 360 MB free from a cold boot and the Sensation only got 190 MB free.
i had it running on desire hd with 1ghz (not overclocked) and it didnt lagged at all, it was running beautiful
mojav: don't compare it, sensation got higher screen resolution => more work for cpu/gpu
It's still is a great news
Well, hopefully the update will happen by the end of this month. Now i don't know whether i need to root my phone or not........... Sense 3.0 was the thing that pushed me off the edge. Now, since i'm getting is without Root, why risk bricking my phone??
Well i hope they will add tweaks with the sense 3... if they do that then we dont have a real reason to root the phone

Why go for a fake page? just to generate fans!!! that's implausible & totally not worth it, also they are advertising on HTC Official page, didn't they think it through that their cover will be blown before they know it!? I believe they are genuine & belongs to HTC..

I'm also not sure whether this page is genuine or not but regardless, I "LIKE"d it on FB. I'm busy for the next 2 weeks, and I'll wait to see if it's just a stupid sham. I'm pretty sure there will either be news on the Sense 3.0 update, or an announcement by HTC saying the page is fake. If it's the latter, then XTC Clip, here i come !!
EDIT: This may seem stupid, but i think that creating a fake page and telling fans that there will be a Sense 3.0 update seems a nice way of getting one for real. Think about it - fans see the post and get hope, soon there's a post on the official page saying that his was fake, and before you know it, there's thousands of angry protesters spamming HTCs wall. Sound familiar??

But may be fakse
Hey i have a question.. is the new sense 3.5 coming too for the HTC Sensation?
As it's aimed at lesser powered devices I'd say no but you never know
Surely it must work, I wish I knew how to resize the files from the new DHD rom and try to port it over.
Yeah, just seen the DHD Bliss-based ROM. Ideally we'd need to wait for another qHD device to be released to get it. Or that new 4.5"-screened HTC Android phone announced recently (like the Titan)

i thought titan was gonna have wp7?
maybe the revamped sensation will have it, but it wont really matter to me because i like senseless better
It is, but I'm sure I've heard there's gonna be another Android handset the same size. Could be wrong, mind
EDIT: The Holiday is 4.5" but leaks so far show Sense 3.0
The only thing I'm interested from in Sense 3.5 is the new Notes widget. That looks slick.
of course it will come out
Yeah, I'm sure it will come out, we have an excelent development team here
Most likely
What files would er need to port and how do you resize them to fit sensation ? I know that the HTC apks are needed but what other files are needed......libs etc?

There is a light version for underpowered devices, there's also a full version for high end devices, the htc rhyme comes with the simplified version, while the runnymeyde(or whatever its called) comes with the full sense
This is the runnymede rom

EDIT: Yeah...ist out now. First ROM with 3.5 Leak available! Nice!
I hope it will beacuse it'll be nice to be able to eliminate the seventh home page on my Sensation Z710e.

EDIT: Old post, my bad!
Hi all,
I just have read a post that makes me feel "HAPPY"! HTC will very likely officially deploy Sense 3.0 for our lovely Desire S. This was a post from HTC on the official turkish facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/htctr/posts/188533611215197).
Has anybody an idea if this is really true?
edit:
check this a similar post which was made back in june
so i doubt that sense 3.0 is coming officially
but we already have fully functional sense 3.0 ROMs which are much much better than stock ROM so even if sense 3.0 is released i think its a bit late
but still ,if its true then its good news for the non-rooted people
i think we are more likely to get sense 3.5 as it was made for wvga screens & runs on the bliss with lower processor speed
Changed my mind on Sense 3.5!

I've changed my mind - I'm know that I'm not a woman - but I'm still permitted to do so!
I have this new opinion since yesterday when I installed the new BEat Mod Bliss v1.6, and can now say that I've properly tried sense 3.5 and I now love it, its much slicker then sense 3 and looks much nicer.....I can see than the leak we have isn't 100% quite yet....but can't wait for the next one and if the cook keeps working with this release than that's magic.
I don't think that the leaked Sense 3.5 low quality screen shoots did it any favours, previously the only pictures that I've seen had backgrounds that I personally found dis-tasteful (no offense meant) just my opinion.
So it put me off - but having got my hands on it for a couple of hours and played with it now and like it !
Afraid still going back to LBC for daily use for now.....but I can see the future and it's sense 3.5 shaped bye bye sense 3.0!

im testing sense 3.5 now too & i can also say that its much better than on the screenshots
but i still prefer sense 3.0 because it looks more transparent
but the animation on sense 3.5 are too good ,i think i will be switching to sense 3.5 once there are some glass like transparent skins
btw does anyone know what the charm option under settings on sense 3.5 is about?
According to @HTC_NL, the sensation range of devices will receive the ICS update soon (before the 1st of March). On the 1st of March an ice white sensation will be released in Holland.
Link here (it's in Dutch of course): http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/8268
Article from tweakers.net (source):
HTC provides users of the Dutch Sensation, Sensation Sensation XL and XE soon an update to Android 4.0 ICS. On March 1 also appears that a white Sensation Android 4.0 already installed.
To update existing devices called HTC no period, the manufacturer has only said that "soon" will take place. The update was on the air offered to users. It is still unclear whether the devices with the update to ICS also immediately be provided with Sense 4.0.
About new features in Android 4.0 version of HTC Sense is still little known, HTC has just announced that shortcuts at the bottom can be adjusted by the user. Recently there appeared images of the new version of Sense, showed that the appearance, colors and screen animations differ from both Android 4.0 and the current versions of Sense.
HTC Sensation spent the last year in June from 2.3 with Android. Last autumn there were the Sensation XE and XL on the Sensation. The Sensation runs on a Qualcomm MSM8260 dual-core SOC running at 1.2 GHz. The GPU is an Adreno 220. The phone has a 4.3 "LCD with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The camera has a maximum resolution of 8 megapixels and shoots video at 1080p with 30fps.
The manufacturer will this spring, next to the white Sensation, presumably releasing new models. These will most likely at the Mobile World Congress telecommunication fair, which takes place later this month in Barcelona, are presented
Nevermind, HTC has clarified that the phone will be coming with 2.3 and will be upgradeable to 4.0 ... lame.

This would be awesome, as they would release kernel sources with this phone which might be compatible with the original Sensation/Sensation XE... which would allow better custom kernels for ICS which is the only thing wrong with [email protected] at the moment! (apart from the *few* minor bugs )
I wont hold my breath that it will be soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
There will be not ICS on 1 March, on XE White. R u blind all? Read!
Update: HTC just wrote us to say that its original press release was incorrect — it'll actually ship with Android 2.3 and be upgradeable to 4.0 down the road, just as its other Sensation versions will be. In other words, don't expect an ICS-equipped Sensation on March 1st... but you can expect a white one with Gingerbread. Furthermore, the white Sensation is already available in select markets, so the PR is simply announcing its upcoming availability in Benelux. Now, the question becomes: how much longer is the wait for the upgrade?

Yes how retarded of people not pre-emptively predicting an updated article.
Take a chill pill.
Im seriously not impressed with the way HTC are masking ICS, AOSP ICS is a beautiful thing, so can sense be, but htc have gone about it all wrong with sense 3.6 and 4, I think im steering away from HTC slowly but surely, and can almost guarantee that I will be going AOSP ICS when it is stable!
Oh man, there is 3 threads about "1 march ics", and one opened after 1st etc... noone sees that article is updated? Or even that some thrads r arleady open with updated information? Please...

You can say that again...
I like sense functionality, unlike its skining...it would be nice if they keep sense with AOSP design...
I like the ROM's that are already out there, and as posted above as soon as AOSP is stable I'll be going to that.
On the other hand I wonder what's taking HTC so long, we have devs that do this for fun and they're releasing great ROMs and here you got a major company that you would think have lots of professional devs that do this for a living and they take forever.

A chef here has to make a rom which is pre made and stable and tweaks it. If it works for 99% of the users it's good. Htc has to release a rom which work for 100% of the users.

You forget that it isn not just a phone software that they need to update and polish, they need to sort out all cloud services that their ecosystem is all about (eg facebook for HTC, watch, hub, likes etc).
I would rather wait a few weeks to get a finished product, than have unpolished system that has memory leaks or whatever...
You forget that average user doesn't want to mess with rooting and flashing and they even don't know about that alternative (and/or care) so they cannot and will not flash new "xda" software when official rom "breaks"...
Very true, didn't think about that.
well, you can press thanks button so i can open new thread sooner
hope they release it soon..
I and my wife have an rooted firmware now.
but somethimes the phone reboots...
i don't care, but the wife don't like it hehehe.

HTC Sensation/XE users, if you wants to have a look at the Sense 4.0 ROM leak from HTC Endeavour (RUU), please try this ROM by TripNRaVeR HERE. But its wayy to buggy! Definitely not a daily driver, but amazing work by the Dev!
Watch the Video of the ROM linked above, HERE
HTC haven't confirmed what phone will get ICS and when!
So far, HTC Sensation/XE, HTC Evo 3D, and a few others have been confirmed.
No idea about the HTC Evo 4g, HTC Desire HD and Droid Incredible!
Thought, the new line of HTC phone from 2011 will get ICS by the end of Q3!
- BE SURE TO HIT THANKS!
More updates coming.
Intersting... Thank u
Let me summarize Sense 4.0 for those who arent sure. As you can see from the post above HTC has added even more useless "features" into the next release of Sense. It will be even more bloated, take up far more memory, and suck your battery dry faster than ever! In addition it will have lots a stupid animations that will enable you to impress little children. The worst part of it will be that Sense 4.0 will negate most of the benefits of pure ICS by layering on hot steamy piles of horse sh*t! The good news is that with Google requiring all future Android phones meet a certain standard, we will see less and less of these "enhancements" being added by manufactures and carriers. This will help stop the fracturing of Android and make it easier for developers to make apps that work across the entire platform. In addition, now that Google owns the division of Motorola that makes Android phones we will soon have a number of proper Android devices to choose from. People looking for pointless "features" and "eye candy" will still be able to get their fix of course; except going forward it will come with piece of fruit on the back of the device.

That's so true! Sense 4.0 is gonna be a 500+ MB update.
The problem is, they add more and more, keeps stacking. Which makes it bloated..
They should start over again. Its just MENU AFTER MENU AFTER MENU!
Anybody on here got it yet? @CalCi059 not trying to start a war but how do you know it has been released yet? <----- im not saying it hasnt been released would just like to know how you found out

They dont need to start over, they need to hit DELETE and stop producing garbage like Sense. They should focus on producing solid hardware like they used to, and rely on the STANDARD ICS build developed by Google. a 500mb updated??? Jesus Tap Dancing Christ thats a whole lotta crap!

Ermm...source for Sense 4.0 preview? Android 4.x surely?
As far as I'm aware the preview is for Sense 3.5(6?) and will only be open to selected (or more likely those who have an Sensation/XE) members of the Elevate program or HTC Developers in Europe.
Though I'd be quite happy to receive Sense 4.0 ahead of the One X!
Yeah, we already know about this. It's NOT Sense 4.0 but at some point in the next week a few in the HTC Elevate programme will get to receive the ICS OTA. It's NOT started yet

You're misinterpreting and twisting news , I can give you credit for that.
BUT
There was no official announcement from HTC that we will get Snese 4.0 , Questions asked to HTC via Twitter and Facebook regarding 4.0 were ignored.
Yes they gonna talk about Sense at MWC but that doesn't mean it will come to Sensation , most likely its for Ville and Endeavor only. Maybe we will get it this fall.
I'm too lazy to search for sources for my arguments but they here on XDA
p.s. Next time please use search before posting, try to avoid MUST READ text in your titles and dont beg for "Thanks"
