[Q] HTC Sensation Software Question

My phone says it has Android 2.3.3.
Is this correct? Thought it came with 2.3.4? Also, why can't I video chat with googletalk?

its version 2.3.3

Is this correct?
Yes
Thought it came with 2.3.4?
No 2.3.3
Also, why can't I video chat with googletalk?
Because thats a feature only availble in 2.3.4.

HTC will hopefully update it to 2.3.4 in due course. The only phones I know of having 2.3.4 are the Nexus One and Nexus S, but anyone can correct me if I'm wrong

Officially, you're probably right, but pretty much any phone running an up-to-date custom ROM will have 2.3.4, such as my HTC Desire running the CyanogenMod 7.1 nightlies.

Thankyou everyone. Is qik a good way to video chat?

Apparently the SGS2 is getting 2.3.4 reasonably soon, which will hopefully spur HTC into updating themselves.

Try the Vtok app.

Installing an ruu will unroot it. Root is access the os layer /system and nothing else.

Why would you put a stock DESIRE HD ROM on an INSPIRE just to hope that HTC will think you have a DHD and give you the update for the DHD? Well they won't anyways. You do realize a stock DHD ROM is not 100% compatable with the Inspire? They do have slight hardware differences.
Gene Poole has a rooted version of the new DHD ROM with adjusted drivers for the Inspire in the Development section. If that is what you want in the end then just install it. Here is the link.

Only problem with that is, other users, like myself, have gotten a bootloop after installation. It will boot, but will constantly loop on the "HTC - quietly brilliant" screen. Last I checked, there was no solution as of yet. If Gene Pool can figure out what is causing it and correct it, I will most likely try flashing it again.

If you really want to run this stock base, I would go into fshami's Sens 3.0i thread and ask Wild Child if you could test his soon to be released stock version of this base. It has all the S's- smooth, stable, speedy, solid..... I'm sure he wouldn't mind another good tester.

ICS for Desire S ?

Is there a chance for an official update for the Desire S to the ICS ?

Nobody knows, but could be possible...

At this moment no available information about from ths update but in my oppinion its coming about 2-3Q of year.

i've read that htc wants upgrade desire's series. HD,Z and S but in second semester of this year. i'm not sure how much is a credible information..

If HTC is ever going to release official ICS for Desire S then it is for certain that you will have to wait a long time.

Don't hold your breath.. HTC has not been very fast publishing updates, at least not for the Desire series... Q3 is probably overly optimistic (IF there will ever be an official update).

For many reasons..
Even though most of us will be using custom ROMs, we want official bases to work from so we have the right kernel source, drivers etc. This way you have better comparability, battery life, performance etc.
Think HD2. No official WP7.
Unofficial WP7 built with no official drivers = permanent bugs. (Multitouch, camera flash)
I explain this EVERYTIME, when someone posts this....

I'm not sure it will happen. HTC only announces large screen and high resolution phones now. And as we all know, they don't like to upgrade old phones. So if there will be an ICS phone with 480x800, it won't be soon.

Trying to get to the 10 post count in a hurry, are we?

Should I update?

Just manually checked my wife's HTC software update, and it finally has the Android 4.0 ICS Sense 3.6, I d/l'd it, but havent installed it yet. Is there any reason I shouldn't update, say if I decided to root it anytime in the future?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

It will be best to root before update.because it will be a whole lot easier with the hboot version you have now. You should be able now to use revolutionary and if you update, It's likely you will no
longer able to use it depending on your hboot. Revolutionary supports certain hboot versions and some ics might not be supported. This is my understanding and I was also told the same thing. So I rooted on revolutionary then updated to 4.0.3 and custom Rom .of course its possible to root after update, just more difficult in my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. Hope this helped out a bit.

That is helpful, thanks. I am kinda curious to compare it to my Sensation, rooted on 4.0.3 AHRD sense 3.6. Hers is still completely stock.

Let her use both devices and make the decision. My wife is still running stock GB on hers and sees no reason to change it. Don't push her and be held responsible for any changes she does not like.
There are certain apps that you'll have bugs and compatibility issues with on ICS, but most of those should be ironed out by the developers over time.
Definitely s-off before hand either way. That way you'll have the ability to easily downgrade if she doesn't like it...

Sense 5 with 4.2.2 is not available at the moment.
It could be ported when AT&T HTC One X (aka One XL or Evita) receives sense 5 + 4.2.2.

Finally HTC One X getting Android 4.2 + Sense 5 update in Europe . huraaa!!!!:laugh:
Not long after the HTC One X+ started getting its Android 4.2 update in parts of Asia, HTC Europe has followed suit with an update for the original NVIDIA Tegra 3-powered One X. Reports from the XDA forums show that the update to version 4.18.401.2 weighs in at a little under 380 MB, and includes Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and the new HTC Sense 5 UI. As such, the update also adds many features from the HTC One, including the BlinkFeed home screen experience, the new Gallery and Camera apps, and automatic video highlights.
It's worth underscoring that this update is for the European HTC One X (codename Endeavor), not the AT&T One X, known internationally as the One XL (codename Evita). So far there are reports that the update is hitting Nordic countries and parts of Eastern Europe first, including Slovakia and Denmark; other European countries should be getting the OTA in the hours and days ahead.
HTC insider @LlabTooFeR tweets that the European HTC One X+ should also be getting a similar OTA, to software version 2.18.401.2, however we've yet to see any signs that that update is rolling out.

HTC Sense is a software suite developed by HTC, used primarily on the company's Android-based devices.
please see this intro for more info : HTC Sense From Wikipedia
you can see complete comparison between HTC Sense 4 and HTC Sense 5 here :
HTC Sense 4 vs. HTC Sense 5
now as @khan.orak predicted before , we kiss ROM Cooker's hand to offer its Htc One S version for us ....

have anybody got any news from Sense 5 distributions for HTC one S ? i was thinking that it will be expressed as soon as ONE X getting sense 5 update !

Now that the X is getting Sense 5 with 4.2.2, maybe, just maybe, the same for the S will follow soon?!!!!!

LOL, this thread is full of idiots.

They're not idiots, just n00bs.
The Evita has started getting the Sense 5/4.2.2 rollout as of yesterday, it started in Deutschland, so whenever a dump is posted on the interwebs I shall give it a shot at porting it as a new DarkSense version.

If you tried searching in the dev section, you would see the number of ROMs that are bug free 4.2. If you're not happy with the number, make a new ROM yourself.
Why is it so hard to just look?
