Does anyone know when can we expect AT&T OTA update for HTC ONE X? I am very tempted to update to 1.85 but it will make me reinstall all the apps (including some corporate ones - for which it would be pain to get the corporate IT to cooperate), but I am holding off hoping that official OTA must not be that far out?
I am a very recent new customer to AT&T so I don't really know what is AT&T's track record regarding OTA? Do they do regularly all the time? Or, is it more like, once if you are lucky?
Thanks,
Osho
OTA AT&T
As a long time AT&T customer, Cingular before that (AT&T by another name) & Bell South Mobility (A division of AT&T). I can tell you that the wheels of a OTA firmware update grind extraordinarily slow. It will happen but there's no telling when.
If we knew, it would be plastered all over the tech blogs (Engadget, Android Central...).
yeh att drags their feet on this stuff..
If AT&T pushes an OTA update, will it detect if your bootloader is unlocked? Should you relock it before downloading the update?
1.85.502 ruu
Just as an aside, I've been running the leaked 1.85.502 ROM that is available and that the OP mentioned. I have had zero issues with it. The WiFi seems to be fixed, battery life seems to be improved and the system seems more responsive overall. As always when it comes to a leaked ROM... YMMV & FAYOR!!!
Just picked up a new HTC OneX from At&t with 1.85 preinstalled.

Does AT&T sell phones with different firmwares than what is the latest OTA update for the same phones that may have been sold earlier? This sounds soooo wrong at so many levels. Why 'punish' your first customers?

No, they don't, or havent until now if they did.

I guess it's possible that the batch of phones that were delayed in customs could have the new ROM on it... but... It makes me feel better (if this is actually the case) that the 1.85.502 ROM will be the next OTA update. There is a difference between the OTA ROM release and the RUU ROM, the latter clean installing the phone and the OTA not. Personally, I prefer a clean install / wipe over an incremental / update install. Less issues in the long run.

Nobody that has bought the phone after the customs hold up has had anything but 1.85 on their phone. I think it's legit, and part of the reason there was a delay.

I tend to agree. Don't know if it was every definitely proven. But it seemed to me that on the HTC Flyer tablet people who updated to Honeycomb (from Gingerbread) using the OTA had pretty severe performance issues, while those that updated through "unofficial means" (RUU, custom ROMs) had great performance (including myself).

Personally, I would wait for CM or another rom to come out. Video chat will probably be optimized (among other things) in those roms anyway and there is no telling what this will do to root. It may "fix" root and plug up the exploit so that you are back at square one again.

It's the same update we know about.
I would love cm on here but I hope there will be some way to keep the genius button. That's one piece of bloat ware that I love. I heard someone with a g2 had it on their rooted device so maybe a easy to add it to our custom ruins when they come out?

I wonder if it matters which data plan you're on regarding getting the OTA's...? I'm on mytouch unlimited web, but I think the newest one is 4G unlimited web.

I was wondering about that also. If it was to plug a hole, it will become evident if those with the 2nd OTA find that the s=off and/or the rooting itself procedures no longer work. And then there is tethering....
Would TMo be that mean ???
If you make a backup using Clockwork, could you just reflash to get back to where you were if the new OTA takes away root?
If it's just a Qik update, can Qik from the new version be pulled from it and then installed on a phone without the newest OTA?
no because you need root to nandroid your phone
Only one update. If you have 2.2.1 thats the update for qik and some bugs; I got the email from HTC in their monthly news email.

Just entered internal testing phase at TMO. Won't come this month. HTC said they would release it by end of this month and THEY did! They released it to TMOBILE. It is now up to TMobile to verify, test, and push out, and I'm sorry to say they have promised nothing in the way of time frames. IF all goe well with internal testing, look for the release in the second half of April to first half of May.

What you have to remember is, when HTC promises a timeframe, that does notnjnclude the timeframe it takes the US carrier to release and update (phones that have the same model, but sold both internationally and in the US).
So as to when T-Mobile will push an ics update, well it's really impossible to tell.

I called the other day about being sent to the teathering web site every time I use my browser, and they told me it's a known issue and tech is currently having issues with ics on their network. So they are probably trying to make everything compatible still

T-Mobile ICS upgrade
My suspicion is it's going to be a long time, if ever, before we see an official T-Mobile USA ICS upgrade for our Sensations.
Reasons being:
An ICS OTA upgrade will result in a huge bump in calls to T-Mobiles support lines. Having worked in a call center the last thing they want is more calls as more calls mean more $$ going out the door.
An ICS upgrade for the Sensation might undercut sales of the upcoming HTC One, which T-Mobile definitely doesn't want to do.
It would not surprise if the upgrade doesn't come before the fall or even if they blow it off completely. Just my opinion.

Yeah, what you said is not gonna happen. T-mobile upgrades phones all the time. They upgraded the mytouch from froyo to gingerbread, so why would they not upgrade the sensation from gingerbread to ics. They will get more calls to cs for not upgrading it than If they upgrade and have problems. But it will take a little longer, because they gotta get their bloatware working with it.

I think he was just referring to the other guy above, no quote just a bit confusing!
You people are so positive! I think that they are simply working to make their bloatware compatible with ics. The first thing I would do is delete that junk.
The tricky thing might be getting Wifi calling to work on ICS. I know some of the Rom developers were having trouble getting this working.
HTC Confirmed that the "Sensation 4G", which is T-mobile's branded version will get ICS, so I certainly think it is coming.
I am just worried their marketing team will push it off till after HTC One and Galaxy SIII launch so they get a bunch of people upgrading/renewing for pre-installed ICS phones...

Yep, my Sensation just updated to the newest Play store - v.3.5.15 along with a slew of apps that needed to be updated - some good, some bloated; among them Flash player 11 and slacker radio. So maybe these updated apps push may have something to do with ICS incompatibility.
Regardless, T-MO will eventually send out an ICS update. I'm hoping next week, but realistically, sometime in April. May would be a complete joke.
No ICS anytime soon...
Today T-Mobile started replying on Facebook to inquiries regarding ICS on the Sensation with variations of the following "T-Mobile USA Oh you're sporting the sensation, nice! right now we have done some tests with what HTC has provided us for ICS on the Sensation and the results were not exactly what we needed so HTC is currently working on fixing the bugs so we can roll that out. ^KM" In short they are saying they've run into problems and sent it back to HTC for review. Don't see this coming out anytime before the second half of the year.

Ha ha ha ha that says it all, it really does..
Contacted T-Mobile tec support....said that ice update is being prepared for ota distribution...I think that tmobilebis just trying to flood it with even more bloatware..
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?

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.

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.

Great to hear. Is there any noticeable slowdowns when using the phone?
Honestly. I doubt the 1.85 has hit store units yet. Ya prolly got someone's unit that they returned bc they wanted root. Clearly stores aren't checking firmware on returns. But if it is brand new it's good news bc devs will be getting on it.

I have not noticed any slow downs, but then again neither was the previous one x. The reason for the replacement is the lost of voice/data connection at times. The only way to regain signal was to reboot the device.

This is brand new out of the box. I was there and watched the AT&T rep broke the seal on the box. I then removed the sticker on the from of the device and fired it up. This previous store was out of stock previously. This 1.85 also is different from the leaked version because multi-tasking is fixed on this out of the box version. Let see if other XDA members experience the same results now that there are new stocks in the stores.

I jus checked a bit. With xda & stock browser open , I get refreshes on stock browser when switching to that. And also I have connection issues in bad areas. If I lose connection completely sometimes it's up in the air if it wants to reconnect.on its own or not. Sometimes requires reboot or airplane toggle to reconnect. Btw I'm on leaked 1.85. So I hope an official ota with fixes drops soon.

This is brand new out of the box. I was there and watched the AT&T rep broke the seal on the box. I then removed the sticker on the from of the device and fired it up. This previous store was out of stock previously. This 1.85 also is different from the leaked version because multi-tasking is fixed on this out of the box version. Let see if other XDA members experience the same results now that there are new stocks in the stores.

I'm intrigued because the build number is so similar except mine is 710RD and yours is 10RD. I think its the same build. I've bad good experience with multitasking. We need a diff

Now that the international version has gotten it, how long do you think before us verizon users get it? I'm guessing 6 months if history is any indicator.
On 4.4.4 now just flash a rom

Knowing Verizon we'll see 4.4.3 about six months after L comes out for all other M8's....
Haven't used stock since the day I got the phone, only roms

Verizon was on top of updates for the M7. Don't see why it'd change now.

Hopefully they keep the trend going but if history is any indicator, Verizon being prompt was more of a fluke than a new way of doing things.
What phones was Verizon last to get updates? People have been saying this before VZW even started getting the same phones as other carriers. It's like comparing oranges to apples. VZW has only had exclusive phones like the droid line and the incredible /rezound before the S3..For the S3, note 2, S4, ALL carriers INCLUDING VZW had them and I had updates same time as anyone else.
Can someone elaborate on what phones Verizon took months to update?

In my personal experience, the DroidX, Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Maxx. Google would release a version, the manufacturer would have to apply their changes and then Verizon had final approval. Not only does the handset manufacturer have to update for their kernel, UI (Sense, Blur (back in the day), etc.) but they would then put VZW's crap in there as well. 6 months was typical.

Those are VZW exclusive phones. We don't know if it was the manufacturer's fault or Verizon. It could've been Motorola's and Samsung's fault for the delay. That's why I said you can't compare exclusive phones.
I'm pretty sure a manufacturer would work harder and faster to update a phone that carriers across the globe have versus a phone that only one carrier in the world has. Example: Motorola X vs Maxx

GNex was by no means VZW exclusive.Sprint had an LTE version and GSM models were available in the Play Store.
But your point is valid - the bulk of the delay is with the manufacturer putting their crap on top of Android. Verizon has nothing to do in this process but approve - they're accepting delivery of the product when the manufacturer is done with it. That can still take a bit - I participated in several soak tests with Motorola where they are done with the update and they're testing the delivery. In a few cases there was a 2 week gap from the time of the completion of the soak test to the time it was released and that's Verizon, at least according to the Motorola employees in their forums.
The M8 is already the last phone to get the latest update. We still don't have extreme power saving mode without flashing a rom.

Hey now I don't NEED it persay. But there's been many timrs I could stand to place it into EPSM when my battery is low. Its annoying that every carrier got the updates awhile ago and L is coming out and we still dont have an estimate on any updates

Haha I know, it would be nice to have. Isn't Sprint the only US carrier with the update so far, though?

VZW was the first to get the 1.55 update . Why does xda always form cults against every carrier. Nobody is ever happy...same complaints in T-Mobile, Sprint, and att forums.

Are we still talking the m8? I've had my m8 since day 1 and the first update we got was AFTER a few other carriers already got EPSM. And I was stoked we would have it. Then I updated and realized it didn't include it and was disappointed. Not forming hatred at all. But wanted to at least have the option for espm on our phone.
Verizon needs to figure out how to break Root and S-off with 4.4.3 on HTC phones before they will push it out.............

I can see it now. 4.4.3 breaks root and s-off on Verizon M8!!
3 days later... New root and s-off method available for Verizon HTC One M8 thanks to beaups, jcase and fuses (maybe?).
Sent from my HTC One M8 running Insert Coin. S-OFF.

I'm just waiting for them to release an updated Kernel and firmware. I survive on custom ROMS
