Fresh out of the weekend since their support page was updated. A 5-3 release makes sense. Hopefully the radio version is different than the leak, which is reboot happy due to the radio. Software versions match though.
Thanks for the details. I look forward to the official, the leaked was not very stable.

I haven't seen any date associated with the ota update before this, so it was a helpful post for me.

If it's not news to you, stop being an elitist jackass and don't post. The OP was just trying to help.

is there another post mentioning the date it will be pushed ota?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
This is the first time I've seen a release date for it posted.
i apologize if this info was already posted. I was just trying to share some info i just noticed. as many people have stated, i have not seen an actual date of release. I also have access to phones a few days before they are released so if there is anything i can do to help the community, please let me know. i have a thunderbolt, and being an employee, i can have my phone replaced whenever needed so i am willing to try pretty much anything (guinea pig anyones software). so if any dev wants me to try something i am more than welcome to.
nice to know

You should put this out there, as I'm sure many devs would love your help.
Also, I'm sure everyone here would like early impressions on new phones.

I'm not quite sure. Maybe just a new thread in TB General? I would ask someone first, if I were you. Maybe a mod.

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150305151453084
**We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.**
How about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread about this? Like the other 3 don't get the message across?

Lol this is true.. and op I'm not being an asshole just stating the facts. There are at least 3 other threads on the topic. We really don't need another one. It just clutters up the forum with redundant information.

I agree, it's like these geeks sit in here all day and just wait to flame people. Maybe they get some erotic pleasure from it. When its warranted cool, but when it's just to be mean, not cool.

How did I flame him by saying to use the search feature and telling him we really didn't need another thread on this topic because there are at least 3 already that were created before his? Umm that's not flaming.. I wasn't rude or nasty. I just said "how about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread on this topic? Like the other 3 didn't get the message across?" How is that flaming him? I didn't name call or put him down in anyway, just it seems in this forum(sensation) people create more duplicate threads then the other device sections I frequent. It clutters up the forum with redundant information and makes it tougher to shift through all the same crap to find a useful thread.

Geeks stay pissed off, not there fault Just the lack of female attention can be over baring to some on here. Flame on geeks flame on.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
You know I have noticed more and more rude and sarcastic and flaming remarks as of late. I wonder if short tempers and faultfinding could be attributed to the following:
1. Locked Boatloader ( No definite time frame for resolution)
only vague promises and comments
2. No permanent root(temp root only)
A. No S=off for the majority so no custom roms etc.
3. Htc making vague statements and time frames(even the last blurb gave no real time frame for the US Sensation) and no realistic end in sight.(Hypothetically at least 2 months or more away, at least) Which leads to Feelings of hopelessness..
4. A great phone but many many issues(lots of returns and replacements)
5. Indecision as to whether to keep the phone or not.
Just some thoughts I know I have felt this way and if some of the above were addressed and accomplished I would have a better feeling about keeping the device and a better outlook about the situation in general.
Lets not take the circumstances surrounding the phone out on each other.

The frustration is coming from pushing the valuable info further away into the thread and on the first and second page we have 5 topics about the same thing. Xda should just take the search button away since no one uses it lol.

The point was good, the netiquette questionable. People just don't get "text" is NOT fully expressive. What do they say about not being able to have a picnic w/out ants?
Sign this if you're going to return your HTC ONE X within 30 days (or not buy one at all) due to a locked bootloader.

Yup. Remember that the majority of XDA users are unregistered, so they can't actually post (without more effort). There are a lot of great petition websites on the internet. I'd try one of those.

I fully support unlocked bootloaders for ALL phones. You own it, you have the right to have full control. Pretty sure this went to court and the court agreed.

Looks good to me, SIGNED!
Welcome, community, to the XDA Developer's Day thread. We receive endless support from the developers. They deal with our bug submissions, questions, comments, complaints, and whining on a daily basis. What can we possibly do to give back?!
________________
When:
The first of every month.
What Can I Do?
Consider Rom, Application, Kernel, Theme, Tweak, and other developers in your decision:
Pick a developer who has influenced your life in some way this month and donate a few dollars! And come next month, pick another developer. A rotation, of sorts. Every donation counts, and is cherished.
Update your signature to reflect your support for developers and for the mass recognition of the holiday!
Credit to DHO for the original thread idea.
I REALLY don't think this will be necessary...
But just in case: Snagging post #2 as well.
Oh, and this has taken off fairly well on Rootzwiki.
I hope it does here as well.
This is a really awesome idea
+1
+1 as well this is a pretty cool idea. Developers really deserve supportfrom the community. One of let's them know that what they are doing is not in vain. Two some monitary support is always a good incentive to keep good hard core developers at the top of their game, which is the long run is good for everyone. Now I know a lot of of developers do it just because it is their personal hobby and the enjoy it. But some cummunity support and graditude never hurts.
Done, great idea.
Edit: And to the jerk who rated this thread with 1 star, you know who you are and you should be ashamed. Truly ashamed...
done
done deal .as stated before great idea.

I've just recently opened my own Ouya Forums, and I'm looking for new members to join. I think it's safe to say most of you know what an Ouya is, so I'll spare you the explanation. I'm also giving away an Ouya to one of the first 500 to register!

What's the difference between posting about the competition as the owner, or posting the exact same thing as a casual member?
I could've pretended to be a casual user of the forum, but I thought I might get more support if you all knew I had just started these forums and need help getting the ball rolling.
