It's accurate.

Is there anything about 4.0 ICS that would help improve battery life?
I am running 4.0.3 on my Iconia and I love it!! Looking forward to seeing this on my TB and hopefully soon, my VZY Galaxy Note.

This is the first I've heard of that! Thanks for dropping that in =P my thunderbolt should tie me over till it comes out, especially if the ics update isn't too late =D

thunderbolt will run with full potential on ics

My moneys on the only ICS thunderbolt will be a rooted one. My money is also on the only successful roms being ports from the rezound.

and we'll see it actually approved by verizon sometime in november. By that time, no one will care.

I'm locked in till next March so ill be waiting till then for ics

Stuck in contract till the end of December. But I love this phone for some reason.

I'm locked till Feb so I'm hoping to see it for the tbolt before then! (Remember, I'm HOPING )

Even if it takes Verizon until December, there will undoubtedly be build leaks in the interim that the devs can work their magic on.

I agree. Any leak will be huge to the development of ICS for the Thunderbolt.

Ics update

So I saw an article on tmonews stating htc will update the sensation and the amaze 4G in the beginning of 2012. what I wonder is how the hell they updating a device that came last like the amaze 4G and not the mytouch slide that came out way before? Smh yea it will get updated but not in the time it should. Watch us get an update really late on mid 2012.

It's all moot if you're rooted, really, cause we'll most likely see ICS well before that time!

Yea but I really don't wanna root right now lol so I'm just gonna wait for the legit ics update and than root and maybe overclock. I mean really I have no reason to overclock this beast it is way to fast stock and no lag when pinch to zoon and scrolling pages or apps.

I was on the fence regarding rooting for about a week. The phone was just boring after while. ICS will be nice to see when it makes it to us.

Yeah but here is the thing...what will HTC add with ICS...remember in all actuallity the OEM system is now Gingerbread but mysense added to it...your user expirience is the redheaded T-mo branded version of sense (which I hate compared to the real one) So is HTC going to release ICS with sense 3.5 or will it be like the phones released early next year with sense 4.0? So yeah while we will have probally Cyanogen 8 and maybe ICS AOSP I can't wait to see a ROM that is ICS with Sense....
I work for HTC. We haven't finished announcing what devices will receive ICS.

Well I seen a story posted on the web by AndroidCore about the HTC devices and the Doubleshot was not on it...but one question was since t-mobile branded it from HTC wonder if it would be up to T-mo....there should be no reason the doubleshot would get overlooked it is a new device now...
Well looks like it was front page here...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/
The decision is a combination of HTC and T-Mobile. More importantly, you should simply focus on the fact we aren't finished announcing devices that will receive the ICS upgrade.

Uh wut? Nexus ICS alphas have been floating around for weeks.
The evo is always going to have more roms available at any given time, since there's a ton of devs working on that phone... And more options because of Sense.
First of all the things we have are sdk ports so they don't count. Second I would rather have a rom with half busted stuff than nothing like we do now. Wahh it sucks.

I don't think that someone has a decent working ICS right now.
But come on, don't start a ton of new threads just to aks why there's no ics. I know it's exciting but after all it's just ICS xD
And it's just a max. of 1 month waiting time 'till the ota gets out. I would go so far to say that no one of us will die from waiting
Max one month is a huge overstatement. It will be a miracle on xda street if we get an ota in a month. Mark my words.

ICS to come in July/August?

Found this on HTC's side, it's being reported on Droid-life, as well:
http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4blog
They are claiming July-August for ICS. I'll believe it when I see it.
They did say earlier this year it would be near the end of q3 when they pushed the ota out. I would say if they are honestly trying to get the update out then it will be at the end of august or later. They almost always delay by 2 months usually.

I know there is no actual for this, but, is there an about time frame for leaks before they release official? I guess I mean, is it feasible to say that there may be a leak by the end of June? I know, purely speculation. But fun to guess.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
There is no way to know that because if we get a leak then we get a leak. The only way we can get a leak is if someone puts it out there for us.

Man, I disagree wholeheartedly. Stock ICS blows any of our roms out of the water...in power management and usability. Add in the features in, say, AOKP and wrap it up in Apex Launcher and it's pretty much the best mobile experience I can imagine.
If only that Nexus I had for a month got better reception...loved the software.

Cool let me know I actually just got the s2 from a friend for 150 and no contract i couldn't pass it up lol
I just moved to one of these from a HTC Incredible I've been running ICS on since January and I have to say, it's hard to go back to GB, but the phone is just so much better and it's the only sub 4" phone that has a dual core procesor and is reasonably priced out of contract. Anyways, hoping for ICS sooner rather than later!
ICS will be out tonight for the Galaxy S 2 ...Anyone here how long it will be until the Blaze is updated to ICS?
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3029
"Samsung and T-Mobile plan to release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G that updates the device software to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The dates for this future update are TBD, but this document will be updated when details become available."
Hope to see this updated soon!

I'm looking forward for the source to drop. Since the T989 uses the same general chipsets we do, I'm hoping the source will build and work for our phones (with a little coercion). It's amazing how little official msm8660 stuff there is out there.
I swear, finding source, info, etc on this stupid little phone has been a labor of love, and I run into dead ends everywhere I go :-(

Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.
Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.
I'm still here!
Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.
I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.
I dont believe we'll ever see an official release of JB for our phones.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

That and point really at Google for.this messed up veal they allow which is so stupid. We need to stop overlays on android and have the same user experence as any other device a unified way. On touch six.you select wick widget it brings up any available wick if one is not already selected on sense and stock that does not happen. Not a great user way here.

Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.
