I doubt HTC will ever give Sensation owners Sense 4.0 officially. They want us to buy a new phone.

^Not that HTC will ever give Sensation owners Sense 4.0 officially but I rather like to think that they are going to be dragging it out over an extended period of time. Much like DHD's case.
HTC isnt going to butcher their new products when Sensation sporting a dual core, can handle Sense 4.0 just as good.

Think it's best to keep all Sense 4 discussion in one thread

When there will be an official update with ics, it will have sense for sure too. I think it will be 3.6. But anyways there will for sure be some ported roms with sense 3.6 or 4.0
before the official release or leak.
you cannot find that stuff? Everything I know about that was written often in these forums. You could have find that in less the time I needed to type this reply....

Well then i guess he (the guy you spoke to) doesn't know sh*t about android. Android v3 has been around for quite some time now on tablets. And it'll never be released officially for phones. Android 4 was built with one of the key aspects being designing a common cross-platform OS for both tablets and phones. So as far as phones are concerned, the only possible upgrade is directly from 2.3.x to 4.0.x.... Period.

He did take a long time 2 answer mabey he ment 4

I have recently(last week) spoken to HTC Greece and they comfirmed OTA update to ICS for DS in the first days of April.

Great news !!! We're only a month away from a flood of development, and 2 months (max) from perfect ICS ROMs As soon as it rolls out in any reigon, it'll be on XDA.
I was expecting a leak by now, for at least one device among the DS, DHD and IS. The Sense 3 update leaked a long time before it was officially released.
BTW, I'm 99% sure it will be Sense 3.6. It's definitely not 3.5 (although there's nothing other than small visual changes in 3.6, mostly the dock and notification panel).

Sensational XL already has a leak! I was hoping for a proxuser style port
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Proxuser's been working on it for 3 days and he just got it to boot. Wi Fi and others will be hard to fix till a Sense kernel 3.0 is released in the update blah blah blah. We've been through this so many times

Just spoken to someone from the UK HTC site, he said that "the end of march would be more accurate for you" when asked about the release of ICS for the Desire S

well, it's here. The ICS for Desire S ported from Sensation XL, sense 3.6. A fex niggling issues like wifi not working, but supposed to be fast and stable.

I'm sticking with my MIUI till things stabilize, getting too old to flash a new rom every week.

While i would like pics too, but the guy has nothing to loose if we don't believe him

So will we see 4.0.4 on the Sensation

Will HTC continue to support the Sensation with future updates to ICS or is 4.0.3 the last update we will get?

Who cares, it adds like nothing. Tmobile update is gonna be real good I think, clearly they made HTC change some stuff up since its taking so long. Its gonna be real nice methinks.

Exactly what lion said 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 is just a reallly minor update...

I don't think so. I think it's a shame but Sensation will have a One V like Sense 4.

Htc...wish they would get their $H!T in order.

Well a certain all knowing individual who shall remain nameless has posted a link to a single source saying otherwise... Apparently HTC chose that single site to spread their prophetical message of "4.0 lite".

I'm running it. See opensensation

TBH, I don't really want sense because the overall taxing of the system.
And unfortunately there isn't a bug free version of AOSP yet, so i guess the main question is if 4.0.4 used with sense will improve anything?

I donot like sens, I like CM9 best

i just got a sense4.0 rom finally and IMO the dock at the bottom looks just like the one in 3.6 so yea

I hated Sense version 3.0 and 3.6. I hated it. Did I mention I hate it?
I tried Sense 4.0 on for size and I liked it. 4.0 definitely changed my opinion of sense. It's my daily driver. I hope that BT will get fixed soon

We will get 4.0.4 with some bug fixes. However only after HTC has settled down with their One series launches worldwide. I think we will get Sense 4.0 and HTC won't leave their 2011 phone with the same Sense version as their 2010 phone cause the Desire HD will also be getting Sense 3.6.

It won't change that much with the android version.
The big deal must be done by HTC that must give a full working RUU, not a one that has still many important bugs, bugs that the Sense 4.0 Roms don't have (but they have different ones because they are portings, and that's not easy)

HTC Provided Sense 3.6 instead of Sense 4.0 because you guys should atleast get common SENSE rather than Sense4.0 buy new device to get newer softwares/UI, want an example? it's ONE V which has Sense 4.0, with hardware specs closer to Desire HD, (maybe less powerful than DHD) they launched new devices which means older ones are paper weight! I am sorry if I am so harsh..but HTC Desire Z is 1st HTC device I owned, they have completely ended its support after GB 2.3.3 update, and that's also in less than a year, look at that device Section, how active it's...Courtesy of Devs out there, people are running ICS with full hardware functions, and HTC kept users till GB 2.3.3..so that they'll buy new phones whether they have money or not...perfect business ability HTC have....so to keep it simple..through your Sensation into dustbin..forget that how expensive it was when launched..and grab new device anyhow..that's all HTC want..
