A question for all UK, Unbranded, unaltered, as out of the box XE owners. Have you received the official OTA update?
Not by flashing, not by changing SID, RUU, or signing up to Elevate. I mean the official, official from HTC to you update?
…. knowing my luck I’ll receive it as soon I post this, in which case I'll post here as soon as I do.
Nothing here

Not quite what you asked but my Stock XE, that is s-off and rooted - though that doesn't make a difference to the HTC OTA Update Server, got the update a few days ago.

Flashed by the update system of course, CID is original, there is no official RUU yet and did any body get to be a member of Elevate?
The update is / was around, though why some got and others did not i don't know

Nope, mine's as standard as it was when it left the shop then the box. Nothing here despite numerous checks... Reading some of the comments re wifi and other items though, I'm not as desperate to receive it as I was. Now I've said that, what's the bet it'll be released in no time for us!
Virgin XE here and sod all sign of the update.

Nothing here either, I started the thread as there was suggestions that it had been released to XE UK owners. Since XDA is usually the fountain of all knowledge on the internet when it comes to updates I would have expected, if it had been released to the UK, it would be all over here by now.
I think the people who have received it in the UK have fiddled with their phones.
But maybe the gap between Nordic and the rest of the world release is due to the issues.
If/ when you get it come back here and tell us
Nope, nothing
I'm so tired of continuously checking for updates ... Wouldn't have felt this bad if it was the sexy sense 4.0 we were all waiting for... But its not

I know, I know! It's infuriating. But I'm going to keep an eye on this thread. If any of us gets it come here and lets us all know
Nothing here, stock unbranded XE!
Nothing here either.
You guys could just manually upgrade. It's really not that bad. Sure, it's a bit harder to go back in case you drop your phone, but don't drop it or dip it into water or something mindless like that - problem solved.
I know, but we shouldn't need to. ;-)

I bought my sensation 2 days a go off eBay and got nothing yet.
Is there anyway I can check that everything is at it should be with s on and root and stuff as I have no idea what the eBay seller did with it before they sold it??

Pull the battery, replace and power on while holding down the volume button. That should get you to the boot screen. My untouched XE phone says:-

We are waiting for S-OFF to be disabled.. (disabling the security features that prevent installing custom roms, etc)
Rumors are that S-OFF is coming on Wednesday, so just about now.. but it's just a matter of time.
I'd go for the Sensation.
No not yet but it seems like Alpharevx has found a patch that will give s-off and then we will be able to flash custom roms, kernels etc. The release date is uknown but anyway HTC has announced that they will unlock the bootloader on late august. Desire s is a.very good phone but sensation is overall a better phone. If you have the extra money i would recomend sensation. I m not flaming you here but it would be better if you did a little search before posting. Your questions ( especially about s-off ) have been answered over and over and over and over again in this forum . Anyway hope i've helped. Cheers

Why wait when you can head over to the development section and grab one for yourself now. It's essentially the same with minor changes.

I put in the Virtuous Inquisition De-sensed ROM and have been blown away by the stability it offers. Unlike stock 2.3.4, I now receive push mail from my exchange server. Battery life is way better. I couldn't cope with the default android keyboard without the touch/swype interface but thanks to XDA, I got that APK to too. I don't want to return to stock anymore.

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade to a sensation. I'm coming from the MT4G and was wondering what I should look for when looking for a used sensation. I'm going the Craigslist route because I cant upgrade just yet. Just wondering if any devices came with any defects. In the mytouch world the mytouches had two different screens. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys
Sensation also has two different screen makers, but the difference is night and day like the MT4G.
Second, make sure it works. Its a phone after all. Open the back cover and make sure the pins aren't bent.
The two screens should be alright, some people prefer the acer screen vs the sharp screen. It doesn't matter unless you want to notice it. That's pretty much it, check for the usual water damage, and warranty void sticker on one of the screws.

Just realized you're a Giants fan also.
Some people prefer the AUO screen and some prefer sharp. Unless you have OCD you're not going to care as much if you have an AUO screen.
I prefer sharp though.
Check in H Boot to make sure it's not H Boot 1.23, s on, it's no bueno for flashing radios or RUU because it can't be unlocked via any method and your stuck on incomplete firmware with no way out. In other words, you can't unlock the parts of the bootloader needed to flash firmwares, etc. This is more important than sharp or acer screens, IMO. No going back to stock. H Boot 1.23 s off is fine.

1.17.0000 is fine as you can use revolutionary.io to S-OFF the phone.
If it's later 1.20/1.23/1.27 you need to ensure the phone is already S-OFF. There are a few folks that have updated the HBOOT before S-OFF'ing the phone and now stuck.
Will HTC Sensation XE get official Jellybean support from HTC?
If it will, can someone please provide a source ? Has HTC confirmed Sensation XE support?
and if yes to jellybean
will it be sense 3.6 or 4.0?
nope
I think yes.
The official german htc Facebook Page told, that it will come!
I dont know, wich Sense but they said, it will Come
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Until we see an official statement, announced by HTC all these facebook and other site sources are just speculations and rumors. Jelly bean will come along with the new HTC One X+ and will also be received by the ONE X and ONE S first. After these devices are updated HTC might decide to do something with previous phones as well.

I doubt that page is an official HTC page, it says in the article that the link was posted that it wasnt an official statement.
I think no, mainly because Football says we wont and also because of some other reasons that I posted in the sticky thread in Sensation General.
It ever our phones will not have official jellybean. I might be thinking of rooting it after my warranty expires

Hopefully but not likely
i don't believe that there will be official support, but i found that some htc one s have snapdragon s3 processor (the same of htc sensation), so, when it will be updated to JB, probabliy there will be some kind of porting to our device
This is BS. I'm really struggling to think of a single good reason to stick with HTC when it's time to refresh my phone and this is a big reason why. Support for the XE was dropped hard after only a matter of months. Samsung's stellar market share rise is in part due to their much better support.
How can we trust HTC any more knowing if we buy another HTC phone, support will be dropped after 6 months and even that's pushing it? I bought my XE back in February this year when it was still a 'flagship' phone so I fell pretty cheated by HTC right now.
My wife currently has a HTC Desire Z (keyboard) and I'm moving her on to Samsung now, my experience with the XE being a big part of the reason why.
Not happy HTC! Why don't you just release a FEW phones and SUPPORT them rather than a gazillion un-supported phones of every possible variation? Didn't Nokia try that strategy? And look where it landed them, they are not even on the charts any more!
Well... I wrote to the support and they said: maybe, but for sure there won't be official Sense 4.x on sensation.
Sorry to say it's extremely doubtful, highly unlikely, that we will ever get official jelly bean. HTC had forgotten about the sensation. To them it's to old. They will just say our device can't support jelly bean or some B.S. like that. My guess is NO. NEVER. even though we're not yet two years old we are forgotten. I'm running a great jelly bean Rom right now thanks to our wonderful developers! Don't know what I'd do with out them!

If HTC drop support for what was a flagship device this quickly, I will never buy HTC again... Samsung all the way from now on!! I hope HTC pull their finger out and re-consider their policy of dropping support after six months, for the sake of their own survival.
Lame... Samsung all the way when I get a new phone... way to lose loyal customers you idiots..
Finally yes
I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "
