I hope this is true, can't waitttttt
HTC Stated they were going to only release a couple of quality devices a year. Don't get me wrong, the Sensation is quality, but the specs are a year old now. I'm not too excited about this, I want to hear more about the Edge or Ville.

Be excited that this basically means we will have a complete ICS rom very soon.

Reconfirmed on The Verge. Only 1 more month max for an official ICS rom.

Have you looked at the HTC Ville specs? It's essentially the same specs as the Sensation but slimmer. The Sensation is a great piece of hardware.
The ville is a step backwards
The Ville will be mostly for people that doesn't have the Sensation and are planning to upgrade.
But the HTC Edge is a huge upgrade
No phone in a long time excited me as much as how the HTC Edge is exciting me.

Probably earlier than that. Official Roms usually leak a couple weeks before they are released.
The same thing with the Amaze, it's the same thing with an extra 256MB of ram, and new housing and better camera.
I still love the Sensation, I can confidently say this is the best Android/HTC phone I've owned since the G1, and I've went through a bunch of Android phones since Android.
@Moshe, Oh Tegra phones are quick, no doubt about that. The G2x I got is amazing. GTA3 with full graphics plays much smoother on the G2x than it does on the Sensation. Just the fact the nvidia won't give the source code so dev's could develop ICS for it, kills the whole experience.

Yea, and battery just for 3h IMPRESSIVE!
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?

Who cares, leak Sense 4.0 already so dev can port it to Sensation.

Not with the devs we have. Sense 4.0 is slowly workin' out!
Honestly you can't expect these phones to last long anyways, a year is what I expect, 2 years is max. By the third, my phone is trash!
Still would think it would be longer look at there sidekick

Why so dramatic? Its been on EOL status for over a month. This is completely normal as it, and the Amaze 4G, are being replaced by the One S.
Well the sensation and desire hd (and EVO 3d) are still on sale in the UK (on display in carphone). I guess the EVO will go first, and the sensation will become like the desire hd.

Slowly? I think the progress is blazin! Lol, but ya i agree after a year or so its time to upgrade anyways.
No point upgrading unless you love the stock HTC software, it's why I waited until the sensation had been out a year before buying one - to let the developer and knowledge base build up so I could flash a ROM the moment it arrived.
The sensation will still be sold and supported for years yet, the new phones don't add any killer functions so why bother? HTC are finding out that releasing a new phone every six months destroys brand loyalty, not increase it - hence their drop in profits.
Rooted and running an ICS rom, the sensation is still one of the best phones you can get. There won't be any huge strides made this year in cell phones. Maybe the iPhone 5 will be exciting, but probably not either. The sensations CPU is fast.
It’s been nearly two years since HTC first announced the Desire HD, making it a proper dinosaur in the smartphone world. Despite its age, the manufacturer had been planning to give the smartphone a fresh new start with an Ice Cream Sandwich update. At least, that was the plan, but now it seems that HTC may have reversed course, and the Desire HD won’t be seeing an official ICS release, after all.
Back in May, we saw a list of which HTC models were due their ICS updates, and when; the Desire HD fell in the July-August range. We’d assume that was still the case, were it not for Canadian carrier Telus updating its own list of future software releases, noting that the Desire HD’s Ice Cream Sandwich release is now canceled. According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”
That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.
We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

It's against XDA rules to make duplicate posts in multiple forums.
Considering you posted the exact same in the Desire HD forum, I will take the liberty of closing this thread to avoid replication. Although the 2 devices are similar, they are branded under different carriers. Update policies will certainly be different, and as most long time users know, what a carrier/manufacturer says about updates, isn't necessarily the truth, and things change.
Most "OTA" update dates can be classified as nothing more than "rumors".
Please avoid posting duplicate posts in multiple forums, unless specifically approved by a moderator beforehand.
Thanks!

Hello Guys,
I have the same old Sensation XE problem of WiFi, Hotspot and Bluetooth which i took to HTC Customer Care only to get a reply "I tried downloading your update but our servers are down so the download gets terminated in between...please visit tomorrow".....same thing since more than a month. I have grown tired by that and i have stopped visiting.
Anyways, my question....do you think the XE will get a JellyBean update sooner (India) ? If yes then i would like to wait for it. But it not....i just downloaded recently uploaded stable CyanogenMod 9 and i am so tempted !!!
Thank You
:highfive:

At least three.
Remember how many phones were released after the Sensation:
Two One X
One S
Two One V
Desire V
Desire C
Droid Increditble 4G LTE
Evo 4G LTE
Rezound
Amaze
Vivid
There are more, but I forgot/don't care to remember.
I don't think they will because updating the sensation means they have to update Sense 3.6 AND Sense 4 to JB. I don't think they will want to go through the trouble
I don't need the crap stock....
Any way it will be ported as sense 4 did.....

The One X has Sense 4, so if Sense 4 needs updating to work on JB then they'll be doing that anyway, and we know the Sensation can run Sense 4 so it's not going to be that difficult for HTC to release a JB update for the Sensation.

I agree but in terms of support HTC would have to support multiple versions and will probably choose not to do that as it == $$$$ in costs. It's just cheaper for them not do so and get us mugs to just buy newer phones.
Or, go to something like CM10.
I think if the Sensation will get the 4.1 update, you will know about in a few months. Remember that the first 4.0 update was available for Sensation & XE.
I think XE will get Jelly Beans, but maybe not sense4. Sense4 includes burst and HDR camera functions needing the image chip which XE doesn't have.
Sense 3.7 with android4.1 is most possible I think.

Yeah, considering they took so much time rolling out update outside europe i am a bit skeptical about it. More that that Desire HD which i used, got its 2.3.5 update (from 2.3.3) got its update after 2 months of ICS release and i am hopeless about them releasing udates on time.
i see the desire hd saga all over again from htc ,im sure htc wont update sensation to jb ,but im curious what will be the excuse
Short HTC Support Cycles?
So what's the support cycles on HTC these days? Six months? Seems upgrade support is dropped after six months because HTC are falling in to the Nokia trap. Release a bewildering array of phones to 'meet every market niche', spread themselves thin and drop support for last seasons 'bewildering array of phones' after only six months.
Samsung seem to be offering longer support cycles now?
This is where Apple just keep beating Android hands down. Imagine the uproar if Apple dropped upgrade support on an iPhone 6 months after release. Their support is more like two years?
Not happy HTC. I fear you will go the way of Nokia!
I love Sense but with HTC's build quality brand damage last year and ever shortening support cycles, I'm struggling to understand why I shouldn't just go Samsung like everyone else.
How far HTC has fallen. They were once the de-facto Google partner. Now even Google won't touch them.
Hi all,
Can't find any news on the at&t HTC one x JB roll-out but found this:
http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/1...ne-software-updates-telstra-optus-vodafone-8/
So this is our best hope to get the official JB from HTC and hopefully the devs will bake something good once this is out.
thats not to far off a week or so
hope we get a leak soon
I can't freaking wait! I'm anxious to see what kind of tricks these awesome devs can pull off!

Well, yes and no. Sure, it'll technically be 4.1, but 4.2 isn't a huge update - the 4.2 version of Google Now, for example, is also available in 4.1. Also, the Sense camera has some benefits (Burst Mode, Slow Motion Video) that still aren't available in the improved native 4.2 camera app.
The real feature I'll miss from 4.2 is lockscreen widgets, but it's not that big of a deal.

This mid-November date is pulled from Telstra Crowd Support info:
http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Handset-updates-8-November/td-p/95790
The mid-november is HTC submission to Telstra which will likely need modifications etc. Telstra are expecting 2 builds required for this release prior to going public.
HTC submit test build 1
Telstra suggest improvements
HTC submit test build 2
Telstra accept or suggest improvements
HTC submit test build 3 if required
Telstra accept or suggest improvements
....
HTC/Telstra release.
A mid-November for the initial submission means the public release will likely be well in to December. And this has slipped by a month now, it is possible this wont go public till January. All this also depends on the builds actually coming by mid-November, as said this already slipped from the start of October.
I am not sure, but these delays are from HTC not Telstra, I doubt any carrier from any regions has received initial builds. All carriers waiting for JB are likely to see their builds rock up in a similar time period(ETA mid-November) and then the carriers own internal testing regime would determine which carriers release first.
Well too bad.
Aokp for now I guess

Samsung S3(non LTE) JB from Telstra will go public 22nd November. They are only a few weeks ahead so far and you really cant complain about a few weeks.
Comparable device release dates and flagship status etc and both are getting the JB update in a comparable time frame.

I'm sorry you feel that way but being two software releases behind 8 months after a "flagship" phone is released is unacceptable to me. You really think we'll get it before Christmas, with the One X+, DNA, and 8X coming out? Face it, they could care less how soon we get it. If at all.
Most of the blame goes to the carriers, but not even the international version has it officially yet, so HTC is also to blame.
Yeah I feel the same.
Its like HTC hired the guy/team from lg that was responsible for software updates, and he's on holidays.
I'm losing respect for HTC daily, S3 came out a good spell after the Onex and its moving ahead before the Onex, that is garbage.

And its hardware is still inferior to the hox. So, we still have the better device regardless of updates.
