hello,
I have reade on cnet a couple of weeks ago that the desire hd got a sense 3.0 update. and I put the stock desire hd gingerbread rom on my inspire and checked for an update there was one and it was sense 3.0, just to see what would happen and there was an update, but after it downloaded it wouldn't install because it wasn't a desire hd. but my question is has anyone heard if the inspire will get the update.
Really? Really? Really?
Simple answer is no. ATT has not and most likely will not release it for the inspire.

So I know gingerbread is one its way, supposedly on the 6th will be the release date, and HTC is working on the new HTC sense (featured on the desire HD and and desire z) for devices with froyo ie. Incredible and EVO. I am wondering if anyone has any more information on the release date of the two or of they may come together as one thing, which we would be incredibly convenient. By the way, I have an EVO running 2.2 thanks!
Welcome to forums
Gingerbread most likely will be ported to older devices thanks to the great Chefs in XDA
I see that dhd users are getting a ota for sence 3.0 and android 2.3.5 but the sensation is running 2.3.4 Wtf?

I believe we have 2.3.5 leaks which probably means it should be coming "soon."
Don't quote me though.
Word is we're skipping 2.3.5 to get 4.0 in the new year

I don't think that htc leave Sensation on 2.3.4 till ICS release, while desire s, desire hd and incredible s have already 2.3.5 with Se se upgrade (2.1 TO 3.0).
I don't belive that we Will have ics in earlyer 2012, but maybe in february, so i belive in an update TO 2.3.5 in this month.
I'm speaking basing that on my experience with Gingerbread upgrade or the last year (also with other manifacturer).

I hope you are right...this way htc could take a little bit more time to better develop the ICS update.
I think we'll have to wait at least until march to have android 4.0...and I don't think this would be a bad thing. More time to fix bugs, more time for developers to make their apps ICS-compatible, more time to develop the new sense ui (which I think will be the main reason why we'll have ICS around march). All this while we're still playing with android 2.3.5 and sense 3.5...I could have a lot of patience this way...
AFAIK Desire HD, incredible, etc have not yet been confirmed to get ICS, so their only way up is Gingerbread updates.
As far as Sensation goes, I still don't like that phones like SGSII, Nexus S etc are getting updated to 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 respectively and we are left behind but we made a conscious choice buying the Sensation so good luck to us.
On another note, I really like how Sony-Ericsson listened to their customers last year after the X10 fiasco and in my opinion are the leaders right now in update turnaround. They will probably be the first to release ICS for their current lineup, as they have already finished coding it. They are only waiting for country certifications now.
would htc bring out an oficial update for desire s to sense 3.5 does anyone know about it???
sorry for my english
No info about it yet. It is said that no HTC phone get two Sense updates, so with Desire S should be similiar story.
The question is - will Desire S get ICS? If yes, there will be for sure some newer Sense. But if adaptation of Sense 3.5 will be to problematical it may be even newer Sens (4.0?).
I bought a Desire S 2 months ago. After S-OFF and Root and using Endymion v3.3 i'm happier than anything with the phone. It took all of 15 mins to do if you follow the instructions.
It's rare to find custom software that blows the stock one out the water but i can't say enough about doing the above.
Nobody knows. What we do know is that HTC is currently still rolling out the sense 3.0 update to the Desire S. So don't expect a sense 3.5 update in the coming months.
Bellow you'll find a quote from the official HTC facebook page
"HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks."
Even the 2010 device the HTC DESIRE HD will be get ICS, and some more devices will be annouced in the upcoming weeks as it is said at the end of the quote.

Even if I'm a little disapointed with the dates that are being pushed a little put back (I guess the release of new devices at MWC has a priority) it is nice to see that HTC Are updating phone that came out in 2010, I think Motorola and Samsung should take notice of this.
Is it only due to the Sense Interface that the HTC Desire does not get an ICS update from HTC itself?

What has Sense got to do with it?
I think the delay has more to do with the fact that they are using their own overlay. The HTC Sense just like Samsung, and Motoblur they have to pretty much recode everything to work with the new software. What I don't understand is the fact that the beta for ICS came out in what Nov? Yet It's 5 months before HTC is going to put out their first ICS update it's very disappointing.
They publicly released the ICS code in Nov as well, but for in private I'm not sure why these companies were not giving it sooner.
I'm surprised the Sensation is the very first to get updated instead of all the newer ones at the same time.

i'll tell this to my friend who use sensation but hate htc.
Ice cream sandwich update
I am glad to see that the HTC sensation is one of the first phones to receive the much talked about ice cream sandwich update. I am wondering though because I have a rooted phone with the CID removed, if HTC would push the update or T-Mobile. I thing we may have a problem if T-Mobile pushes the update. That last one they did, they are soft bricked my phone. I had to get it manually from Xda developers. I just wanted to send this out as a warning to everyone that would update if they have a rooted phone, especially with the SID removed.
ICS in the Future HTC
Ice Cream Sandwich is the las version of Android devices but only two smartphone have this version Galaxy Nexus And Nexus S of Samsung, i like the idea the map road of update ICS for HTC devices, this include Sense 4.0 and ICS, the bad is the HTC is slowly update OTA performance, but the door is open
Nice, my fiancee will be very happy to hear that about her Sensation 4G!
Can't waiting, so I choose ARHD 6.2.1 for ICS taste
--------------------------------
HTC Sensation @ ARHD 6.2.1

THANKS
ARHD 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 rock thanks

comes because the need to let it be tested by google before its approved for release. this is the most time taking part of the rom.
Hopefully this should help the devs get some quality working ROMs out.
Even if HTC will support ICS on the Desire, AT&T had essentially cut all ties with the Inspire 4G. Main reason I rooted in the first place.

hope that sensation will have sense 4.0 update finally!
That is awesome!! THANXXX!!
It gladdens me to reveal a 'sort-of' official release date for Ice Cream Sandwich on the Sensation & Sensation XE! The following statement was released by HTC on their Facebook* UK page.
HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon thereafter by the HTC Sensation XL.
Obviously the release date isn't going to be the most popular around people, as we were expecting the update to come much quicker. However this may point to HTC releasing Sense 4.0 to the Sensation straight away. Although it would be a strange market move, its after the MWC the just before HTC would probably release it's new phones. This article here talks about HTC's announcement.
The statement on HTC's page continues on to say the following.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC EVO 3D, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks
*It has also been confirmed by HTC US (on Facebook) that the following devices will be getting ICS at some point later this year: The Rezound, Vivid, Amaze 4G and EVO Design 4G. All these phones are in the USA!
Thanks for sharing !
Obviously it is a great news for the owners of "older HTC devices" , like DHD... etc

By HTC's standards, our Sensation is ancient! DHD is like a myan, never mind ancient...

Today HTC said on Facebook that the ICS update will include "the latest version of Sense". From what I know they are planning to introduce their new flagman phone very soon and it will be using Sense 4. Therefor I really hope our ICS will include Sense 4 as well. I was also expecting the OTA this month but maybe one month delay will proof worth waiting.

NO SENSE 4
Well the last leak had Sense 3.6, so I don't think the guy really knows.
Well he's obviously not going to confirm something that hasn't been announced. Sense 3.6 and 4.0 have bot actually been officially announced where as Sense 3.5 has. Sense 3.5 is currently the latest, but of course they wouldn't revert to 3.5 because it would be loads of development gone to waste!
