I am using the normal Sensation, I stay in middle east and the update is not yet available. I do check everyday once or even twice and I just get to see my phone is up to date.

HTC is very slow I have stopped checking from 2 days. I even spoke to customer care they have no idea about it.
I've got ICS here in Qatar on my Sensation XE.
I've also run itno a bug where all Wireless enwtorks disappear within 5 seconds of enabling WiFi, meaning I'm very, very unhappy with the update. It seems to be a common issue with ICS roms, and the bug appears to be in the official release.
Hoping HTC solve the issue within a week, otherwise I'll consider rooting my phoen and applying the fixes which are detailed on this site.

Umm I have an XE and I'm currently in Qatar. I purchased this one in the Philippines.
I don't run stock (VI 4.0.1) but I also experienced this problem when I came here and it's really annoying. We're running the Qtel supplied WiFi Modem (Thomson). The thing was I didn't use it much since the wifi is screwing up and I was just staying home for a few days so I just let it discharge to empty.
I fully recharged it and then it automagically reconnected to the wifi. Weird I know but it's worth a shot
I've talked to HTC agent here in Dubai last night and he said "it will be available within this month". And I asked if it's this month March or next month April as it is almost midnight - he replied within April. Wow HTC in Middle East is kinda slow releasing this update, many have received the update already even unbranded ones got updates all over the globe. BTW i have normal sensation.
Now after hearing to everyone I feel that its better not to have the update if it has the bug which switches off the WIFI. I think Bahrain should also get within a day or two if it is ready for Qatar

i also updated my sensation xe in qatar ics update ota and crapped my device my wifi is not getting switched on it is detecting for 5 seconds and displaying not in range tried all kind of things no chance at all so i returned back to the shop where i bought it and it lying for three days and have confused them pls anyone can suggest me to how to downgrade to gingerbread it is under warranty so what are the chances i have got

I'd warn those who don't have a locally purchased Sensation against installing ICS as released in the OTA upgrade - as per the problem a number of us have, detailed above and in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24390705&posted=1#post24390705 thread.
While I suggest we confine discussion of the bug to that thread, it may be possible to revert to gingerbread if your phones CID has an available RUU which you can execute against. I also have a suspicion (or hope?) HTC have delayed the release of ICS OTA in the Middle East because the issue seems to be based on some sort of SIM related data.

Hi All, I have just received my new HTC Sensation, I know how to root, but what I want to know is that, is there any flashing of some RUU is required for the update to ICS Custom ROMS?
regards
no, you must just wait, all we know about release date is "early 2012"
I'm running RCMix 1.0 still (inital ICS leak release) not updated the RUU.
I think that you may need to for some roms, but i think thats more to do with using the new radio as well.
RUU is for stock rom. if you want ICS on your phone flash custom rom there are many ICS roms available from early leak ics base.
I spoke to a representative at HTC the other day and asked them specifically about it. They told me that I should be looking for the release within the next couple of weeks due to the leaked RUU they are pushing up the release date. If I hear anything else I will be sure to keep this thread updated as to what is said.

Tired of using check update button. I don't understand why HTC always delays in OTA for India. Are they not looking at India as market to grow?.
Just Wait
We will have to wait till HTC decides to update our devices...wait for godot...
Don't be so sad. Most of Europe didn't get it either.

Is there any rule that India should get it after E/W Europe? Since Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan etc are getting it (i.e. SE Asia) logically India should have got it by now!
My sensation xe (India) has software nr. 1.77.720.103 , i don't think to many xe's have this build, so it is possible that this will get update later...
We'll get our updates man .. but as usual itll take the agonising equivalent of ages.

Hi,
I'm in the UK with a Sensation XE which I purchased from a company in Hong Kong. I run it with a T-mobile sim card.
When I check my software version it says I am 1.77.720.103 like a couple on this thread.
If i use CID Getter it shows my CID as being HTC__038 and that my ro.carrier is HTC-India. When I first got it I had to change the locale to be english GB so that it received news articles to do with the UK.
I'm a bit puzzled by how exactly the phones receive the updates OTA. They obviously check a server somewhere which checks something on the phone and makes a decision whether to let it update or not. Is there not some way that I can change my phone settings so that it believes it is a UK phone and receives the update at the same time as other people in the UK?
Is there a way that I could flash my phone with a European/UK ROM so that I don't have to mess about changing locale etc?
Many thanks and apologies if this has been asked before as I could not find it when I tried searching.

Im on Orange and still no sign of official update.
Nope, I'm on debranded stock ROM

This is just getting a tad ridiculous. Networks are releasing there ICS bloatware updates before the unbranded phones get it. I guess HTC said they'll release it at the end of March so they have 2 days left, the clocks ticking HTC

Vodafone UK getting it right now
yes, Vodafone UK members with the HTC Sensation are getting the update as we speak. Just started rolling out about 30min ago.
Sucks taking ages for HTC to get on with it. I assume stock ppl are on cid HTC__001 and the Vodafone update is via their own cid? How else does the update differentiate between phones?

Do people with SuperCID and stock unbranded Europe ROM get the ICS updates yet?

Hi Eddie I assume I should get the stock ota when its available using the ROM 1.50.401.1 and cid HTC__001. I am guessing no one had seen what the new firmware version for that will be yet?
Sent using tapatalk. HTC Sensation. debranded from three to f/w 1.50.401.1 stock build.
I'm guessing we should get ours in the next couple of days going by the nember of new threads starting where countries are getting the ICS update, Italy, Spain, Belgium.
Just checked again and nothing for UK unbranded
Can't believe everywhere in eu had got the ota except in UK unless you have a vodofone ROM. How annoying.

I know, gone are the days of apparant benefits of buying unbranded as opposed to directly from a network.....
Vodafone UK had the handset before it's SIM-free release and have had every OTA before the unbranded handsets too so the trend has continued it would seem
I just flashed the OTA file manually, a lot easier
even Greece & Switzerland has the update now, you know its a bad situation when a near-bankrupt country can have the update before the UK

Same for three they had it out early, but they are really sloow at releasing firmware because they like to customise such as disabling 2g overide but have small resources to do the customization.

Does look like we will be one of the last to get it sadly.
Might be the first to get a spelling-mistake-free one though!!
Ha true I am happy to wait aslong as they sort of most of the problems faced with the earlier releases. If not we can always play about in the Develop options!

I understand you refer to Greece with the near-bankrupt country and your surprise that they have it earlier than the UK, but Switzerland is actually rather advanced and quick in getting updates and devices.
Vodafone RO user here, update received. charging battery first then download fast i hope, backup done yesterday, just in case
edit: 296.6 MB file; version is 3.32.401.5
I'm also on Vodafone, but the device is unbranded and is actually a Sensation 4G with a european stock ROM that I flashed. Not sure what country exactly, of if it matters!? I haven't received the update..
hope u get it soon. if not, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538032 and try get your update in that manner. but patience first
Oh, great, if for some reason I'm not receiving the update I will definitely try that. Thanks!

(Sensation XE)
Hello, i have a HTC sensation with ICS 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6,
the problem appear after the phone update to a new version of software,
the new version is: 3.33.401.6.
The wi-fi is not working, i mean if connects to the router, i have ping from router but when i try to connect from phone on the internet is not working, i have try to restart the connection, restart the router, setup again the wi-fi settings, but still not working, if i use 3G connection, the internet is working fine.
anyone has this problem?
LE. i have try to connect on local network and is working, to my guess is that is something related with the DNS setting and network. anyone?
I have the same problem
i have talk with the technical support for HTC, and he said to me, that a fix is in deep state of working and soon an update will be available, but i don't know when.
Also i ask if exist any update for sensation and Android 4.1 and the answer was that is already been start to update on some phones, because 4.1 is available for htc sensation. Depends only when this will arrive to me
if you have any news about that, please tell me

Hi!
Same problem here. I had to intall the RUU 3.32.401.5_R to have wifi working.
I hope they solve it as soon as possible.
can you tell me how you done this? i am now in this Android stuff, and i don't really know
Hi!
Well because you are going to flash and older version of the software you need your phone S-off or unlocked, if not it will not let you downgrade.
If your device is S-off it's quite easy, only turn the phone on, plug it in charge mode to the PC, execute the exe RUU file and it's done in 10 mins. You don't need nothing more.
Good luck
Mine is no problem
Hey folks
Mine has no problem with Wi-Fi network. Did you guys try other APs as well? My AP is BUFFALO (WCR-GN), maybe it's caused by AP?
If you are using a fixed IP-address, try DHCP instead. This solved my problem untill HTC releases a fix.
thx, is working like this, strange bug,
the only thing now remains to see when HTC released a new fix, i guess meaby in a few months, the developer rate is very slow, this is my opinion
Thanks!

Hi
How can I revert to a previous version since I cannot use DHCP since it does not connect to my Belkin router.
