I'm really liking the new lockscreen as well as the new multi-tasking ui it has. Wish I could have been that lucky person that got that phone

I read on the cm7 thread that xda said it was fake.

Either way, that guy got lucky...or is one hell of a faker...the honeycomb multi-task and new lockscreen were very convincing

Our sensation should get it right? With Htc 18 month support policy, we should get it. Furthermore, ours is dual core. I did not see any problem to upgrade OTA interm of hardware n software wise should be no problem. Only time will told..

Afaik its fake because Google doesn't write Android version codenames in products

[Q] we ever getting ICS

Is te HTC Inspire gettin ICS?
sent from something called...i think its a computer...not sure

As of right now, the Inspire is supposed to get ICS, but it is still up for debate. I bet there will be ICS ports though, so we will get it one way or another
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I thought HTC denied the Inspire would get ICS

Unless they denied it within the last week, it is still floating in limbo. Some say the HTC Ace and Stallion,which are the code names for DHD and Inspire, should receive ICS
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Even if the inspire doesn't get an official update to ICS there will be a custom rom

I don't think there will ever be an official release. We may get a newer gingerbread upgrade since the last on bites, but development for the inspire leaves us with better roms than stock anyway. I bet there will be a better more stable release through xda before ics ever hits officially for the inspire, but I don't think it ever will. I emailed HTC and asked if we would be getting ics or any other upgrades and they said they are working to make the experience better for the inspire but do not have anything in the works currently. This lead me to beleive they are long past worrying about the inspire. We will probably not even get a better gingerbread build imo.

HTC already released the list of devices that are getting ICS, Inspire4g/desire hd not in it.
Sorry.

If it doesn't we will still get it with ports from other devices... and of course cyanogen so no worries man

I'm sure there will be a couple custom ICS ROMs on here.

It wasn't a complete list. It was like these are the phones are definitely getting ics. The HTC desire had just got gb earlier this years when HTC clearly said it wouldn't. So don't count our phone out.

Yeah i saw it somewhere it wasn't the complete list, but i find it hard to believe an 1 year old phone get the second update of its existence; the phone is technically 1 year old, considering its a variation of the DHD (released in september '10 I believe)
Sure i hope for a ICS release.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/

The source code is gonna get posted on 17th with all probability. Sometime after that we should start seeing some true ICS ported ROMs.

I think htc will give us the official release of sense 3.0 or even sense 3.5 to make up for the widgets and animations ICS will have to offer so we arent completely out of the loop

It wont matter really what HTC releases. It will be up to ATT to release a build built for the inspire or the best we can hope for is a port from the DHD. ATT normally has done a One OS update per device and thebinspire got theirs already. Hope I am wrong but history says I am not.

+1 for zelendel's post.

This is ICS behaviour - it replaces the pop up that appeared when you long pressed in a text box component on earlier Android versions that allows you to configure your input method.
If you test and/or use alternative keyboards or other input methods that shortcut is a blessing imo... if you don't need them, it could be annoying but you get used to it almost immediately.

Ohhh...well why no blue battery bar....that's lame

It's not AOSP... You can contact HTC and ask why they chose to make it that way.

That's the smallest thing htc had to do! A phone that comes out with a certain version of android will always be updated to the next one... The problem is when htc has to update the sensation to jellybean... Imo the sensation won't ever receive an official jellybean update unfortunately

So we're paying for updates now? God forbid we actually enjoy the phone, but screw that noise, can't enjoy a great phone if I know I've only gotten one major OS update.
Get real. Who cares? The phone launched with 2.3, you got an update that bumped it all the way to 4.0.3, I'd say that's plenty.

We will get Jellybean someday...that's why we have XDA!

No seriously but I have to admit, HTC have no quality control. HTC sense looks pretty, but slow as hell, even with tweaks.
Touchwiz 4 is so buttery smooth, even if it isn't as attractive it is efficient and when i payed for this phone back when both came out I expected some decent usability and speed.
Timescape UI is also so refined. My dads Xperia arc runs smoother on a single core on timescale compared to dual core powered sense. This was my first and last HTC device

Yeah the Sensation will never see an official Jelly bean in my opinion. But there really is no doubt that the Sensation will have ROMs with the next I would say two too three Android OS versions. It just has the hardware specs to be a device that will handle future OS updates.

You have a point, but I personally feel like the Sensation has the ability to continue to get every new Android versions like the HD2 does. The development community for this device is pretty outstanding in my opinion.
Oh and remember the Sensation, as well as all Android smartphones, got locked out of Android 3.0 as it was just for tablets. I mean Google did finally drop the source code on it when the released ICS. But with ICS being for both phones and tablets, I do not really see anyone making the effort to get 3.0 running on a phone now.

I don't see fully why not. I know for a fact it will be able to handle it because the desire c or whatever will definitely get it along with the one v and they are single cores. HTC brought ics to the desire s, why not jellybean to the sensation?

[Petition] HTC Give us Desire HD ICS

Hey everyone, this is a petition to get HTC to give us Ice Cream Sandwich. As people have seen, HTC released this statement
After extensive testing, we’ve determined that the current version of HTC Sense with Android provides customers with the best experience on the HTC Desire HD. When we consider new versions of software, we weigh a number of factors, but ultimately the customer experience on the product is the deciding factor. We apologize for any confusion this change may have caused our customers.
Now as anyone on XDA we know this is not true. This is really getting alot of us mad, and I thought it is about time we do something as a community. Now, the HTC Desire was suppose to get Gingerbread, but ended up not being able to handle Gingerbread with Sense on top of it, so because of that and the efforts of the community, HTC released an RUU on the HTCDev.com website for a pure Ginerbread update. Now if HTC is not going to bring an update for our phone, they can at lest bring a ICS RUU then. It at lest gives us Devs offical libs and kernel.
Now please people, can you please sign this petition, we need to show HTC that we care about this phone, and we want this update.

Signed. I would love to see this work. While I am still under contract and under a certain lack of funds to switch to the 'Pure Google' experience that is Nexus, I would like to see ICS or JB on a similar device so the glacier gets the proper drivers so we can all have a fully functional experience. Fun all around.

Samsung has just announced that GS2 would get jellybean.
If sensation doesn't get, maybe many people won't choose htc again next time.

Well this is my last HTC phone for this reason. Next will be wp8 or Android phone from google.

Its very unlikely that the sensation will see any official from htc, but the HTC one s will and that's when we'll see some ports of sense jelly bean

I'm from TW, and as I know, HTC doesn't say anything about our Sensation upgrade.
HTC has been busy working on OneX / OneS upgrade and maybe our Sensation is abandoned though...

Why should the Sensation not get a Jelly Bean update? After the One-Smartphones is the Sensation the next Smartphone which could handle JB.

It's not a point of whether the sensation can handle 4.1 or not, its HTC devoting its resources to their flagship phones. The one x is future proof for a good while yet, but when HTC launch a new phone to replace it, the one x won't receive updates, even though it's perfectly capable of running the software. Just wait, it's likely to happen.

You really shouldnt need someone to explain that.
At the end of the day, HTC are a buisness and so must run that buisness

No official word from HTC but very unlikely. You can still get CM10 which runs quite well on the sensation.

This device is over year old... Don't hold your breath!

Phones are so expensive these days people can only afford a new one every two years (or when their contract is up for renewal in the UK) so it is a little annoying that in the second half of your phones lifetime with you it isn't supported by HTC. I think it's definitely going to be the most recent Google phone for me next.
Besides I now hate sense anyway
