TMO News Report: No ICS Upgrade until at least mid June - HTC Sensation

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
If the Sensation ICS update date of 6/16 is accurate this just shows what a clusterf*** T-Mobile USA and HTC both are. Another 2 months before ICS comes to the Sensation, to be honest at this point, I don't buy that date. I think it's just being leaked to try to shut up those of us Sensation owners who have been expecting it in the the near term. I have major doubts whether T-Mobile and HTC for whatever reasons, will release the update ever. Clearly the proper resources are not being committed to this project. Very disappointed.

The tmo sgs2 isn't getting it till mid May so a mid June date isn't too impossible. Such crap on tmo and HTCs part.

Thank God for custom roms

Well I think this might have just ended me waiting. I will hold out a little while longer just to see but it is looking more and more like I ARHD is in my close future.

Oh come on... Stop holding out and come to the dark side! Just think, if you flash it today you'll have about 1.5 months to test and see if you like it.

You guys need to start flashing and enjoying ICS! Been using it for months and couldn't live with out it

flash arhd
Have been using it for awhile now and loving it. Rooting is easy, IF you take the time to read the instructions.
You will love it.

Why this mater ???? S-off and no need to wait I got ics 3.6 and 4.0 **** T-Mobile

All the leaked and released ics i tried had a bluetoith problem when I switch from listen or music to phone and vice versa. Only the reason I stick to gingerbread is the bt problem. I expected the issue solved in tmo ics. Now I will give up ics at all or just flash the other ics release. There is no third option for now. :')
Anyone who doesn't have bt problem when switching other apps to phone on ics? If so which rom do you use? Thanks in advance.

Yes join us then your transformation to the dark side will be complete. I have been using ARHD for a good few months. And havent gone back to stock sense. Once you flash you can't go back. So listen to your inner Darth and flash

I guess nobody has paid attention to my sig over the weekend. I switched over the day this thread got started. But I think I will run ARHD for a day or two more. But I am finding somethings in Sense 3.6 I don't like so I will be flashing a ASOP ROM soon.

I thought bt problems were only with sense4.0 roms?

I just got this phone, and I'm torn as to whether it's worth it to flash now or just wait for the update. I had ICS on my 4g slide, and I'm sure it would make this phone rock, but I'm not sure there is a real reason to switch now instead of wait for a fully stable version

You can easily reproduce the bt problem with any sense 3.6 or 4.0, even with the htc release of ics without root or anything. If anyone is interested in the issue, try this to reproduce the issue. 1) open google listen with bluetooth on. 2) just play any items not downloaded (streaming it). 3) press home to go to home screen. 4) try calling anyone. 5) you can see a huge delay on calling or receiving, almost freeze. 6) if your calling was ok, then check whether the listen items continue to play after call.
In this process, I faced a lot of delays of switching listen to phone and vice versa. Force closes sometimes occurred. Force reset was occasionally needed for me to use the phone normally again. If you do not use bluetooth, it will be no problem at all. But if you use bt a lot like me, this issue is really annoying.
I wonder if it is only me to experience the issue with bluetooth and ics.

Tmobile is going to make you guys wait until their new phones, packing ICS, have been out for awhile. Why spend money on a phone that is EOL? The new phones have very very little up on the sensation. To give the sensation ICS now would make it a huge competitor of their new phones.
Root and be done with it.

And is only going to be 3.6. 4.0 for sensation isn't even mentioned.. energy Rom ics with faux latest kernal no bt problems other than you can't voice dial still.. faux has been working on the bt

This is why from now on, my device will be a Nexus device. Carrier branded devices are not the way to go. Its like your at the mercy of a carrier to release an update (See G2X). Look at Verizon Galaxy Nexus still stuck on 4.0.3 while the Unlocked GSM branded Galaxy Nexus's are up to date with 4.0.4. After this Sensation 4G, Im getting a Nexus...

Funny I'm using Insertcoin 3.4.0 that you have listed in your sig. It's just the new market is much more image intensive and take a while to initially load. I speed test in the 4-6mbps range with my HSPA+ and it still takes a few seconds of watching the "loading" screen when I first launch market. On edge it can take 10-15 seconds.
I wasn't aware that the market actually notified you about there being the actual market updates, I thought it updated itself silently behind the scenes.

it probably doesn't notify but i haven't even received the behind the scenes update... it's kind of ridiculous to wait this long when they've already updated the new version 2 times over....

A New Way to Achieve Root & S-Off?

I know some are having problems achieving root and S-OFF on their MT4G's that ship with 2.3.4.
A dev named Frigid has made a pretty powerful program that does that for you in no time.
Here's the link: http://itechnow.com/root-s-off-unlo...-3g4g-inspire-awesome-with-htc-super-tool-v2/
Obviously all credits go to him, so maybe that might be of help to some new users having problems downgrading and such.
Holy crap. Can anyone confirm this works on 2.3.4?
Nice find by the way.

Jack_R1 said:
If they're just using gfree "as is" - then it won't work on Panache, and won't work on MT4G either. Unless gfree was updated and I don't know of a new version, it can't deal with 0.89.0005 bootloader on MT4G with Android 2.3.4 and on Panache.
Judging by the comments, the author of the script just grabbed several tools and put them together in one menu, he didn't change any of them and most of the comments state that this "tool" doesn't work for their phones.

Didn't find them yet. I guess it depends on a specific ROM. I'm using VA 1.48.
In VU 2.39 I found 3 bugs. 1 visual, 2 made me switch to Sense 3.5 eventually, one was fixed (flash in camera on auto settings), one wasn't crashing the phone anymore (calendar events in Exchange mail - 1st recipient changed).

So guys, i installed Instagram and i cannot take or upload pictures without it crashing. I i am running Shinzlon's orDroid rom on version 1.81. What should I do because i really enjoy this app?

That's what I said...The only ROM's it doesn't work with is Sense 4.0 because of some missing EGL or some crap that HTC took out when they decided to use Image Sense. It conflicts with the application.

same rom, but now quite working 100%...more like 90% of the time for me.
Over exaggerating how good it works doesn't help the issue. Be honest. If you search the threads you'll see that out the box it doesn't work for hundreds..Look on twitter too...We're not crazy..It's more than hit or miss broski's. It's only Sense 4. I think it's some sort of hack they did tho get around that issue with ImageSense.
Please don't read the beginning out of context

Yeah...It's the ImageSense chip for the camera that they can't get to work.
They updated the app but now i can load or take pics but when it comes to editing it freezes and reboots.

The way I get it to work is via reboot each time I want to upload a photo.
P.S. They just rolled out an update.
I'm having the same issue on sense 4.0, any word if the update fixed the issue?
Hey!
Anyone else on the HTC Sensation (XE) that Instagram no longer crops but rather squeezes the picture taken, making the aspect ratio f:ed up.
This started happening to me either in the latest update, or the prior one.
Right now I'm on:
Instagram 1.0.2
Android: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Non rooted
I'm using Instagram's own camera interface. It's here where the problem has started to occur.
It works with the phone's own camera interface, but that makes it way more messy.
I'm not very happy with Instagram's "half ass" release. Every one else releasing cameras for Android can make it work.
Add Volume+ app as not working with Sense 4.0!
Instagram freeze my phone when loading a pic from gallery, yes with Sense 4.0, I wonder if One X users experience these problems...
Same problem for me, freezes reboots, when photo is loading, even can't see what the iOS user's buzz is about
Also on Shnizlon's Sense 4.0
P.S. Read about the update - installed again - nothing changed..

No one is over exaggerating here, it is working without any hiccups on ARHD sense 3.6, maybe sense 4 guys facing issues not sense 3.6 i guess.
Yeah, I saw that v1.0.2 was rolled out with fixes for HTC devices, but phone still reboots when filters load.
I think MIUI.us is finally updating from 2.2.24 to 2.4.6 tomorrow, I might try that ROM & Instagram.

Jelleybean, Sense 4& 4.1

Ive been reading around and every site has things mixed up...
Will the HTC Sensation line officially get either:
Jelleybean
Sense 4
Jelleybean + Sense 4.1
There are reports that it will get jelleybean with Sense 4.1 and reports that it will only get Sense 4.
Can anyone confirm anything?
Thanks!
Personally I doubt that it will get any major updates from now on - no official Sense 4.x, no Jelly Bean.
Of course, ROM developers will make all of these available to us
I agree with Ellis, Historically HTC have only really done 1 or 2 updates with devices.We had 3 i doubt we will get anymore
True true And yes, thanks to the devs! im personally waiting for a sense 4 rom from And.Rev, but they need HTC to release some kind of code for them, sense 4 for those devices, which im afraid means since there will not be an official sense 4 for the Sensation, means no And.Rev Sense 4 rom... or maybe im totally wrong and they can still manage?

Unless htc release an official sense 4 for sensation then Sense 4 ARHD is unlikely as mike1986 is a chef, not a dev.

Have you tried other Sense 4 ROM's like ViperS and InsertCoin, I know that some people tried early versions of Sense 4 ROM's and it sorta put them off because of the buglist bug the only "port" bug left is HDMI output (I say port bugs because some minor bugs in the ViperS ROM are due to the tweaks). So it might be worth just flashing a newer sense 4 rom for a week or so just to see if you like it any better

Really??
1. Until HTC get their asses in gear then you wont see a Sense JB rom, only AOSP
2. It is highly likely Sensation WILL NEVER get official JB with Sense (sad but true), the best you can hope for is a One series port when htc updates those. And quite obviously I would have thought, we dont know what Sense version it will be because htc hasnt announced anything and no htc insider has posted anything about it so how are we supposed to know?
3. Dont even bother asking for timeline on when stable versions will be done, it is annoying in the extremes. It will be done when all the devs working on it manage to fix the bugs (atm they dont have a lot to go on because the published source code wont even sync properly)
To be honest i wouldnt think the Desire C would be of any help to us. 320x480 resolution,600mhz CPU Would be like porting a WFS rom to the Sensation.Best to hope on One V or S
Yes sense 4 is stable and has a lot of customization for them. It's also very elegant and smooth.

ROM's that run flawlessly?

As brief as possible:
A few weeks ago my girlfriend asked me to throw ICS on her phone, i'm just a novice when it comes to rooting but i mean it's all self explanatory.
The only problem i ran into was finding a working ICS rom. I didn't know what xda was till this was all over and done with.
So i flash ICS 4.03, a ROM that appeared to have everything working camera/youtube/facebook/ the works (and it all did work). It's all peachy until i get this text where she says the keyboards all laggy. She's tried tons of android market keyboards and nothing really solves her problem, and shes just been seeing her phone deteriorate.
I don't have access to her phone seeing as it's hers and all, but she's asked me to fix it this coming weekend, and i don't really want to give her back that old sense 2.1/ gingerbread stuff she had. But i also don't want to give her some super fancy ROM that this phone apparently can't handle. I've read all the ROM Q&A's but with out the phone with me i can't really try them all myself, and i can't know if don't try them myself.
So my question is which ROM runs the best on this phone and preferably isn't a downgrade from ICS, or at least is better than her old firmware. Or if there's a better ICS ROM with none of these issue's, but i've been hard pressed to find it.
Sorry if i was non specific.
I've had no problems with redemption 1.2.7 it is ics with a lot of customization.
