http://blog.htc.com/2012/03/ics/ User called Dylan claims he works for 02 and his mother is on the ICS update for desire s. Could be complete rubbish but Don't understand why he would lie. He says that the update for 02 customers will be out in a week or 2. Let me know what you think

Dunno.
If it's true - awesome! And if it's not, it's just Dylan (don't know the guy - no offence to him) getting his rocks off at the cost of others. The initial reaction to any news that sounds exceptionally good is a mixed bag - some are ecstatic, and believe anything, while the more skeptical start flaming it. Then there are those that don't bother much - because one way or the other it's gonna make its way over to XDA anyway. It'll happen when it happens, and without concrete evidence, like screenshots or even better, pictures of a DS running stock ICS, it's asking for too much faith. Maybe if Dylan or his mom would be so kind as to click a pic or two??
But thanks for sharing the news. Just like you, I hope it is true. - though my fingers are very, very crossed!
My fingers are crossed too but I have a feeling If I asked for a photo he would say that he's not allowed to leak pictures! Who knows. If there is anything you'd think xda would get a leak first! Who knows we'll just have to see
as I've said before, if I can't see it, it doesn't exist!
and lets not start about God and Gas etc....

You're quite right with that attitude to life. I can't see you so you obviously don't exist either

lol! very good, who said that?
I hope this turns out to be true...
My friend who has a Sensation got the ICS update 2 weeks ago.
It's so funny how he doesn't give a flying crap about the update at all, and I've been drooling over the release since February!
I asked him what's new about it, and all he could tell me was the new dock bar, and a slight speed improvement...
I felt like crying
I suspect the update will hut by the end April/ start May. XL users are already receiving it!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
once the update comes won't they be able to use the new kernel to make an also perfect port of the Primo s rom? I like sense 4 and I'd rather have that then sense 3.6 Because its really fast
OK, thanks for the news. I highly doubt that carrier locked phones would get the update first, which either means that it's not true, or unlocked phones will get updates even before the 2 week period It does seem to fall perfectly on the "early May" ETAs given by everyone.
@Bruce Olee - My friend has a Galaxy S II. When i told him that an ICS update is about to arrive, he asked me why he should upgrade. I told him every single feature, but nothing could convince him to upgrade except one which he considers very "useful" - Face Unlock. Now he can't wait for it
PS - If you know that dylan guy, get his device and give us a system dump. Would be as good as an RUU.

Agree... I believe HTC will deliver the update to carrier branded sets first, and only then deploy it for retail handsets. Read about this somewhere recently, but can't quote source offhand. Even I believe the network unlocked phones will receive the update in the later waves...

Hello Jamie, sorry to disappoint you but her phone is actually running 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0. I hadn't previously taken a look and my mother thought it had ICS because of the ring on the lock screen. She clearly doesn't know the difference between OS and UI just yet as she's not had the phone long. Again, sorry to disappoint, I sincerely apologize to you and XDA. I did however overhear at O2 that the Desire S was going to get its long-awaited update within the next few weeks, so stand by on that.
Oh dear. May as well remove remove this thread This guy is obviously a complete liar and his story doesn't even make sense. I suppose we can still hope for an early may release. Sorry guys I suppose it's made me learn not to trust anything till there is solid evidence. Got to laugh at the guys stupidity! As if he works at O2!

You've got a point. Time will tell how it performs. Would you happen to know if the Doubleshot will have a locked boot loader? It could be a deal breaker for me. The new Sensation has it's boot loader locked. Apart from that, it's an awesome phone (missing the qwerty kb though).

Yeah I saw that earlier tonight and am so excited. I can't wait to get this phone. I'm very used to the additional number row on my TP2, but I can get used to the ALT option that normal people use!
My first experience with Android has been playing around and setting up my wife's G2, but that didn't tease me enough. I bought a Honeycomb tablet last month (A500) and have been drooling to get consistency up and running with my phone as well. I'll have to get an app that records all phone calls, like I already have though. Any suggestions?
Haha, at least you got some action with the G2. My only interaction with Android has been through my colleague's Desire and in stores.
An app that records phone calls... there should be one floating around.. like this one - http://www.appbrain.com/app/record-my-call/com.record.my.call
Htc has just confirmed that they will not lock bootloaders so here is a big cheers to htc and lets now get this sensation... going lets all thank htc the same way we bashed them..

Presumably HTC would have to release an OTA or RUU that upgrades the Sensation to support the sanctioned unlocking method.
If the AWS-band Sensation comes out as an open phone, it's high up on my "next device" list. That or the Nexus 3
More than likely the sensation and announced HTC phones will come with a locked bootloader, they will either make a patch or just not lock future devices. I really don't think they are going to do this so close to launch date..

For a June 8 launch, there's probably already 100K boxed and sitting in a warehouse somewhere. They'll have to address it with an update. They're not going to stop the sale date to make s/w changes that 90% of the people buying it don't care about.
And HTC just kept my business.
It just has been confirmed on FB. No more bootloaders locked! Great!

Sorry just a small question as I'm not quite sure I understood (sometime my english's just poor, especially when it's 4:50am ;-).. What about existing devices with a locked bootloaders? Example people having already the Sensation. A new OTA update or they will stay locked?

Hi guys,
Nothing scientific about my theory, but I dont think we will see an update until after the sensation comes out. T-Mobile knows there are a great number of people annoyed with the bugs the G2x has, and some of these people might be willing to jump to the sensation.
If the G2x update came out prior to the sensation release, it might actually hurt sensation sales because G2x satification would rise.
Just a thought, could be totally wrong.

the g2x is tmobiles flagship phone... you really think they are stalling the update on purpose?
i dont see how it would hurt sensation sales anyway, the phones are so different... i didnt want to wait for a sensation because of many other reasons...
The GB update comes out in the summer, which isn't here yet (6/21).
The sensation is out before so your theory is "true" one way or another.
Wait... what?
T-Mobile already made their money for the people who bought the G2x. A lot of people who will jump ship will still be within they're return period in which case Tmo doesnt make any more money off that same person buying the sensation.
Of course there are those who will jump ship outside of their return period, selling their G2x themselves. In that case tmo does make a little extra cash but I doubt their counting on that. I dont think the update has anything to do with the pending G2x release.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tmo's real money maker is the monthly plans. They care not about selling this device or that device or delaying this update or that update on purpose.

LOL, I have seen this play out several times on the Nexus One Forum.
1. After several days of people posting about checking and several faults alarms.
2. Someone will actually get the up-date and not know enough to do a logcat.
3. More reports and claims of faults alarms, then screen shots will start.
4. Finally someone will actually post a link to the update.zip
5. Then a bunch of Noobs jump the gun, flash update, and loose root and custom recovery.
6. After a couple of hours someone competent will create a rooted, deodext Rom that can be flashed from recovery without bloat and everyone can be happy

rofl. I love it.
To me, it can make sense to wait or to just release it. They obviously have a brand new phone that needs an update. That is hurting them, money wise, more then just releasing the update.
Although you may have people hold out for the Sensation. Either way you have some people who have a G2x now, looking to buy a G2x or Sensation, and some who got pissed, sold the phone, and moved to Verizon.
I always believe to fix the problem as soon as possible. The longer it goes on the deeper the cuts.
My G2x is fantastic though on CM7. So while I may benefit from the update indirectly, I'm not sitting by watching the clock for it.
Will I have to unroot my G2X in order to get official GB update?

I was speaking with a HTC customer service today with a basic support issue and while i was on the phone with them i asked about android 4.0. I take most claims like this with a grain of salt but being that this is from HTC tech support I assume that it is a reliable source. According to HTC, the ICS update for the T-Mobile Sensation
4G was released to be pushed YESTERDAY with the initial push starting today through April 1st with a schedualed upgrade completion by the end of april. I know there are a lot of naah sayers that will want to attack this post because they believe that it will be summer time or never or after the release og the HTC One S and to counter those comments before they happen i want to say very blatantly "I DONT CARE".
Man I hope whoever told you that was not BSing you. That would be great cause I want to wait for the official update before I S-off, flash a custom recovery and then a custom ICS ROM to my current Sensation.
I believe you,but what they said about it being pushed yesterday.... Does that mean it should be showing at any time today or tommrow?

IF they really did push it yesterday, it should show up SOON. From what I know, the carries have the say if they want it released or not.

Couple of days ago someone said OTA servers will push updates in the batches of 30,000 , so yeah update is definitely on its way. Though it would be crazy if T-mobile devices get ICS before unbranded devices lol

Well to be honest it does make a difference, the difference being that I want to wait for the OTA. I have that right right you know. Not to mention I rather like the Visual Voice Mail app.
Don't get me wrong I tried several of the very first alpha and Beta ICS ROMs on my original Sensation. It was S-off and Super CID with a custom boot animation that I had made for myself. But it crapped out on me with total shutdown, it would not charge or turn on. And it did this very suddenly. So I had to get a replacement from T-Mobile and I want to keep this one stock until I get to try out the Official OTA for the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G. I am doing this just in case I want to request another replacement for any reason, oh and did I mention my replacement had bad dust under the screen so I am really considering replacing it anyway. That is another difference it makes. So as you can see you did not know all the variables and really should not have said something so arrogant. And it does make a difference.
Last night around 10:00 pm T-mobile sent a text and it said OTA UP three times, so I believe something is up......
Last nite I did the *#*#checkin#*#* thing and it came back with updates for almost all of The tmobile branded preinstalled apps.

If I were you I'll do the S-OFF NOW...once the update been push there's no way to get s-off with hboot 1.27,
Robocik just got his phone back and can't get soff,so he brick his phone
To all US T-Mobile remember if you want S-OFF do it now.

I just got an OTA but it is NOT ICS OTA.
I got a simple update for Gingerbread. My software number is now 1.50.531.1 before OTA it was 1.45.531.1.. Perhaps it's a prerequisite update ahead of the ICS OTA?

A little late to the party I see.
HTC Sensation 4G w/ Beats Audio
Doubt it
On their Facebook page the last couple days T-Mobile has been responding to inquiries about ICS on the Sensation with variations on the following theme "we are currently testing ICS on the Sensation but it isn't the experience we are looking for so HTC is working on our feedback before we send it out and we don't have a time yet. " Doesn't sound like it will be out anytime in the next few weeks. It sounds like T-Mobile and HTC will end up pointing fingers at each other leaving us waiting till at least the second half of the year for our ICS.

Well to be honest it does make a difference, the difference being that I want to wait for the OTA. I have that right right you know. Not to mention I rather like the Visual Voice Mail app.
Don't get me wrong I tried several of the very first alpha and Beta ICS ROMs on my original Sensation. It was S-off and Super CID with a custom boot animation that I had made for myself. But it crapped out on me with total shutdown, it would not charge or turn on. And it did this very suddenly. So I had to get a replacement from T-Mobile and I want to keep this one stock until I get to try out the Official OTA for the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G. I am doing this just in case I want to request another replacement for any reason, oh and did I mention my replacement had bad dust under the screen so I am really considering replacing it anyway. That is another difference it makes. So as you can see you did not know all the variables and really should not have said something so arrogant. And it does make a difference.

Well when you make a vague statement that doesn't really make sense to anyone but you.. You kind of invite people to say something...
I for one, feel invited.

Really, I mean really! Was any of that necessary, no it is just something to feed ones ego with. I think that XDA senior member kingston73 has it right, XDA " Could be even better without the egos...".
It will get here when it gets here. To be honest, I don't think tmobile is in any rush.

Idk why everyone is so impatient for T-Mobile to release ics ..I have T-Mobile USA and for example....gingerbread (stock from T-Mobile) was terrible
..wait...horrific! compared to what our friends here at XDA did. ..what makes u think ICS from T-Mobile extra inflated with all the bloat T-Mobile adds in is going to be any where close to the ics roms we have on xda already?

Honestly, AT&T needs to cut the BS.
This is unacceptable.
Time for us devs to start working on an unlock... *sigh*
Well, I was going to wait around until Sunday, but this seals the deal, on my way to AT&T right now.

Thanks, hopefully we can break something out soon. I have to wait till Sunday for mine since its already preordered with no cancellations, but as soon as I get mine I will begin my attempts as well.
Hopefully we can work on getting S-OFF as well. -_-

well, it is going to my wife, the info seems more like speculation still since no one from AT&T or HTC has come out and said directly this is the plan.

HTC provided the quote in the article...
DesignGears, PLEASE STAY. PLEASE, I BEG YOU, PLLLEAAAASSEE ???????? i will do annnnything for you.
also, this is a bit of speculation on our part... at&t could just be holding the boot loader unlock until the phone is actually released. we don't know anything for sure. best bet is to wait until sunday for some news. i also think that we should SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL. I REPEAT: SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL!!!!!!!

trololol. anything but that can't devs use the rogers boot loader unlock tool to help? won't that assist the devs to get the manual unlocking process off the ground, because the phones are basically identical?

Oh come now, DG! You ran off from the Atrix 4g and we got it done! (I was one of the few who didn't get the2dcour in his phone ) Your work is grand. This device is deserving of the AAA treatment, just give it a couple weeks and see how it all plays out!

Just cancelled my pre-order. If and when they ever get around to giving us an unlock or the devs here crack it, I might reconsider. Until then, AT&T can kiss my ass.
Yeah this is just speculation based on something from htcs end. We haven't heard anything from att officially yet
Edit: obviously this is being done by att, by who is to say they won't unlock it after a month or so

Wow..it's like the Atrix all over again
Glad that deal expired then lol..
Hopefully this article well be wrong in a month..

I'm pretty sure they said the same thing regarding the Vivid at first. It eventually got unlocked.
I think its still too early to totally freak out of this. All we have is one very generic quote from HTC and nothing from ATT yet. I think it will get done soon enough, if not... well then we can freak out.

I'm actually browsing these forums because I'm looking to replace my Atrix. When I saw designgear's comment I couldn't help but laugh....
Damn. I really wanted this phone over a Galaxy Nexus too...

I think it's the perfect time. The Vivid community waited too long and they had to wait 2 months to get an unlock from HTC

You're always welcome back on the "real X" side. HTC UK said on the 2nd the graphics issues were identifed and an update specifically for them (not 1.29) was due soon.
It's kind of an interesting position people find themselves in. With the X you get: funky Nvidia related crap, 32GB of memory, ****ty battery life and an unlocked bootloader. With the XL you get a better SoC, 16GB of memory, LTE, better battery life, tons of AT&T "enhancements," and potentially no way to remove them if the bootloader stays locked. Pick your poison.

Yup. I agree that it's still possible we'll get an unlock (like the Vivid), but no amount of pressure is ever too much. The more we press AT&T and HTC, the better.
They don't really care about our community or our protests. But, like a little pest, they want us out of their hair. If we continue to be pests, they will get frustrated and cede to us.
