The 1.26 version sucks out battery too fast. Hope they will release 1.28 soon... Any news? Thanks
You ask HTC, they tell you to contact your network, you contact your network they tell you they have no information to give you, it's a constant loop

should be out this week in Europe.
very useful thanks.
Nothing yet, still stuck on 1.26 i'm on a generic phone so should get an update before the likes of Vodafone and t-mobile ect.
Just updated to 1.28 (UK unbranded phone). Obviously too early to say if there's any difference in battery life..... here's hoping.

Ie Could I buy sim free and put O2 sim in it??
You won't be able to buy simfree from Vodafone, but once it's out at places like Amazon, you will be able too put any SIM card in you want, yes.
It won't be sim locked. they say none of their phones are.
I thought all of Vodafone's devices were locked. Great news if it's unlocked.
I bought my HD2 directly from the Vodafone UK website about 18 months ago and it's unlocked.
But my DHD is locked to t-mobile
Vodafone haven't locked Contract phones for years now. PAYG however...
I ordered mine from Vodafone today, are we expecting this to be a standard version or a Vodafone infected version.
Vodafone rom, with their super fast update schedule- not. Without doubt.
Thanks for reminding me on that one. Im definately waiting till when I return from honeymoon in mid june. If I buy it, definately getting it sim free with maybe a 3 mobile ayce sim. Vodafone lag way behind official updates.

Given the speed it's coming out, I kind of expect a stock ROM.

Having said that mate, Vodafone have an EU release clause with HTC, so when an update goes live in the EU, it goes live in the UK too. Not like other carries. Vodafone got the official GB release before anyone else on the DHD

I'm also betting on them sticking to stock ROM to get the initial batch out as early as possible.
Even if it's a branded ROM I won't mind too much as Vodafone have recently been getting HTC ROM updates out before unbranded updates (as crazy as that sounds) and their bloatware seems to be reduced as of late too.

The only 'bloatware' my original Vodafone HTC Magic had was a Vodafone Live! app, which only ran if you wanted to use it.

Vodafone have become very good.
My HD2 on Vodafone had ZERO bloatware!

If my new Sensation arrives with no bloatware, I will make an effort to thank them on the Vodafone eforum. I like to let them know I appreciate it

Given how fast we are getting them, I bet they will just be direct from HTC to the customers! I hope so at least!
Re: rom updates. Can only go off when hd2 got released. We had to wait a fair bit for updates. Cant comment on other handsets. Sorry

Silly question perhaps, but even if the vodafone handset is unlocked, will we still have to wait for vodafone to release updates or will we get them straight from HTC?

Pretty sure if this is the case then the updates will come straight from HTC, but I'm no expert.

With the Desire, it had to come from Vodafone unless you debrand it and flash a WWE RUU via Goldcard. The initial batch were unbranded though. There was much noise made when Vodafone delayed the Froyo update and initially released firmware which had a branded splash screen and various other useless bits and pieces (eg links to dating services, Vodafone Live, etc etc). It was then retracted and an unbranded Froyo was subsequently released. This whole fiasco was even reported on TechRadar UK
I think Vodafone pay monthly phones are all unlocked. It says so on their website. If I remember correctly, their phones did used to be locked but you could request an unlock code once your contract was up (or I think pay a small fee). The only exception was the Blackberry Storm, but let's not reopen old wounds I think I threw mine hard into a brick wall
I own a HTC Sensation 4G Z-710a with Rogers Wireless as carrier
I checked update today and got it. (and Rogers do not support Sensation or even have it in their phone list)
- Bell/Telus users please reply and see if you got it too ?
U probably have unlocked Sensation Z710a with Bell Canada ROM. My wife has a same one and she is with Rogers also. Yesterday (May 23) bell finally released ICS ROM for Sensation. I had ICS on my Z710e for close 2 months already.
I had to wait until today to get proper OTA ICS ROM for my wife's phone and I am unlocking it right this moment to get rid of all Bell's junk finally.

ya i have the unlocked North American version =P (Pacific Mall FTW!)
Android 4.0 is simply amazing comparing to 2.3.x
bell mobility pushed the OTA update to may dad's phone today. all went well. 4g finally got the love.
Can one of you guys please upload and post the update?!
Hi all! (this is my first post)
I have a peculiar situation that seems somewhat like that of those in this thread, but less successful.
I have an HTC Sensation 4G that I purchased unlocked from someone who was previously on Bell. Unfortunately, I'm not on Bell, I'm on Rogers.
I don't seem to be able to get the Bell OTA upgrade to ICS with this phone on Rogers. Yet, from what I can tell, there's no way to simple download the update the old fashioned way.
Am I going to be forever stuck at 2.3, unless I can find someone with a Bell SIM to lend it to me for an hour?

That's the same problem I'm having also. I bought the phone (Bell) but I'm with Telus and when I tried the upgrade it just shuts down and I have to pull the battery to get it going again.
Try turning off your Data and do the update over wireless. It worked for my Bell Sensation and I am with TELUS.
Hi all,
I have a one x on Vodafone Australia.
When I got it from Voda, it came with 4.01 software version 1.26.862.2 which isn't receiving any of the OTA updates (apparently because 862.2 was not released to the public so I must be mistaken even tho voda have seen it!?!)
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to update to .3 or any of the new software versions and where the RUU's may be found?
HTC and Voda have been as useful as pissing in the wind.
I used to fiddle with my old windows phone aswell as my blackberry but am new to Android so any help appreciated.
Many thanks

Please specify your phone branding/version. International unbranded version of 8X had the update for a week now. T-Mo's 8X started update yesterday. Other carrier versions, haven't heard anything.
So, it is important that you specify which 8X you have.

Yeah. I was overtly excited. Seems that updates are pushed quite rapidly. A surprise coming from using Android phones =P
I've a T-Mobile (Germany) branded one and i updated my device 8 days ago.
First download failed, second download worked (both trys over 3G).
- now battery managment is much more better, before battery drains too fast
- now call deny by sms possible
- now sms templates possible
- now W-LAN connection keeps allive under lockscreen, if activated in WLAN settings

Solved me a really big bug. Now the device is pairing with my BMW bluetooth handsfree.
It wasn't possible before the update.
got my 8X today on Vipnet HR, turned it on and there was an update.. great & fast. looking forward to play with device, coming from iPhone and SGS3.
Yes in Croatia I got Portico on Friday 7th December I think. Or perhaps Saturday. It was late in the evening and it worked flawlessly.
Got the update yesterday with my unbranded 8x but all the features said by microsoft in their website wasnt enabled in my phone. I cant redownload the update nad tried resetting my phone but still nothing.
Do Goldcards work with the 8X? To unbrand an AT&T version

Verizon = NO!
Hi Guys.
I've got a sim-free Note3 and I'm using an O2 sim. Yesterday the Lollipop v5.0 was pushed to my device.
Does anyone know if that means that I'll get a further update to 5.01, 5.02, 5.x sometime soon?
Thanks.
Steve
What is your csc?

If its an O2 phone you get the O2 update .
Sim is nothing to do with updates .
O2 Android 5 has been available for weeks .
Thanks guys. I've no idea what 'csc' is?
It's not an O2 phone, it's sim-free, I just happen to use an O2 sim with it - does that make a difference?
It might have been available for weeks, but it only got pushed to my phone yesterday.
Thanks
Steve
I highly believe we will get Android M update, officially.
@OP: Just enjoy the 5.0 update. There won't be any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, at least not very soon. Cause 5.0 has been available for a lot of countries for over two months now, and there is absolutely no scene of 5.0.1 or 2, so better believe that those won't come. I am just happy to see that Samsung finally pushed an update which got rid of that delay while clearing recent apps, however that was just release for one country, but I am sure a wider scale of the same will be released soon.
Thanks guys! That's just what I feared. Just shame that such a great phone lags behind other, older models. My wife's Galaxy S4 is on 5.01!
A phone has a number of codes ( as shown in Kies )
Basically if its a O2 supplied phone it will have an O2 code and O2 are the ones that update the firmware if they want to .
Generic non branded as in UK BTU may or may not be in advance or delayed .
Who gets the upgrade first is very varied and over the years its varied from country to country getting first releases . Usually the non branded gets released well before the branded stuff .
Thanks. I'd read that sim-free unbranded phones were always LAST to get updates. It's confusing!
