HTC Amaze 4G
The HTC Amaze 4G Android 4.0 update rolled out on May 27th. And while HTC has only released a vague statement in regards to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, we can draw some conclusions of our own. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is an incremental upgrade and because the Amaze 4G had no problem getting ICS, we assume that it has a solid chance of getting Android 4.1
Unfortunately, HTC has promised anything yet so it and T-Mobile could ultimately end up leaving it on Ice Cream Sandwich, considering the device’s age.
HTC Droid Incredible 2
HTC and Verizon have yet to device if the Droid Incredible 2 will even get Ice Cream Sandwich, let alone Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. HTC has said it will decide by August whether the device will get Android 4.0 and if it does, there is an outside chance it could get Android 4.1.
We just wouldn’t count on it at this point, not with its age and the vagueness of the ICS update.
HTC EVO 3D
The HTC EVO 3D just received the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update. Users of the Sprint version though are unfortunately still waiting for the software to roll out. It will arrive though.
This is a sign that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean could be in the mix for the HTC EVO 3D but owners should temper expectations and consider the fact that the phone is now over a year old and Sprint has some new 4G LTE devices to attend to.
Never say never though.
HTC EVO 4G LTE
The HTC EVO 4G LTE is one of Sprint’s newest smartphones and it will be running on its 4G LTE network which launches on July 15th. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box which means it is almost assuredly going to get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at some point.
The only question now is when and HTC for its part isn’t saying.
HTC One S
The HTC One S is an extremely new phone for T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network and unsurprisingly, it runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system. This, along with the Samsung Galaxy S III, are T-Mobile’s current flagship smartphones and there is no way that this device will be left out of the Jelly Bean party.
Neither HTC nor T-Mobile is saying anything but we expect that they will deliver the good news later this year.
HTC One X
The HTC One X came out on AT&T around the same time the HTC One S hit T-Mobile. In fact, they are both part of the HTC One Series family. And like the HTC One S, the One X runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
HTC One X, do not worry. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be yours, we promise.
HTC Rezound
The HTC Rezound Ice Cream Sandwich update has yet to roll out but it appears to be close. Again, HTC hasn’t said anything yet but we’d be very surprised if the HTC Rezound and its impressive hardware were left with an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
It also helps that this is a phone that is only a little more than a half a year old.
HTC Sensation 4G
The HTC Sensation 4G Android 4.0 update has rolled out, which, like with the HTC Amaze, means that the phone has a decent shot at getting Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Its age is getting up there but it still has some pretty decent hardware.
HTC ThunderBolt
The HTC ThunderBolt came out in March of 2011 and has been running Android 2.3 Gingerbread ever since. However, HTC and Verizon have promised that it will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich later on this year.
While that’s great, we don’t expect it to get upgraded beyond that. In fact, we almost feel like Android 4.0 might have been Verizon and HTC throwing owners a bone considering the phone’s issues after launch.
You never know though.
LG G2x
While the LG Optimus 2X has confirmed to be getting Android 4.0, T-Mobile’s G2x is still waiting for a sign of life in the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich department. We assume that it will get it at some point down the road, but an upgrade path to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean doesn’t seem likely given how long owners have been waiting for ICS from T-Mobile.
Motorola Atrix 4G
Motorola has said that Ice Cream Sandwich will be rolling out to the Motorola Atrix 4G in Q3. We don’t expect Motorola and AT&T to roll out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the device considering its age but if ICS runs well, maybe they’ll come to a decision to release Jelly Bean to owners.
We just wouldn’t expect it, Atrix owners.
Motorola Atrix 2
Like with the original Motorola Atrix, Motorola will be rolling out the Motorola Atrix 2 Ice Cream Sandwich update in Q3. However, because the Motorola Atrix 2 is newer than the original Atrix, there is a better chance of it seeing the upgrade to Android 4.1.
Motorola has yet to confirm ICS for any device other than the Motorola Xoom tablet, so there is hope at this point.
Motorola Droid 4
The Motorola Droid 4 will get Ice Cream Sandwich in Q3 but there is no telling whether it will get anything beyond that. Remember, the Motorola Droid 3 was launched in 2011 and when it did, it launched with Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The Motorola 3 will never see Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, an operating system that launched around six months after the Droid 3 arrived on shelves.
We’d hope Motorola and Verizon would get their best QWERTY slider ever up to speed with Android 4.1 but at this point, we can’t say for sure.
Motorola Droid Bionic
The Motorola Droid Bionic will get Ice Cream Sandwich in Q3, a long wait for those who picked up the device all the way back in the fall of 2011. At least the update is coming though.
The Droid Bionic has some solid hardware and a pretty hardcore user base so Motorola and Verizon would be wise to update the phone with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. However, as we’ve seen, the device is sort of the forgotten device and it’s possible that the companies will decide not to upgrade it.
Keep those fingers crossed, Droid Bionic owners.
Motorola Droid RAZR
The Motorola Droid RAZR Ice Cream Sandwich update is close to rolling out. Given the fact that it will get ICS and that there are tons of consumers who bought this phone, the demand for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be loud.
This is a device that Motorola and Verizon would be smart to upgrade and we think that they probably will.
Droid RAZR owners will just have to be patient though.
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX
Like the Droid RAZR’s Ice Cream Sandwich update, the ICS update for the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX is extremely close to rolling out to owners. The Droid RAZR MAXX is also one of, if mot the most popular Android smartphone on the market.
Motorola and Verizon won’t want to disappoint owners and given the fact that this device is fairly new and will soon be running Ice Cream Sandwich, we think Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is a sure thing.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+, the unlocked version of the device, will be the first device to receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Google has confirmed that the update will be rolling out in July, although it failed to say when exactly.
The Sprint and Verizon versions of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus are definitely going to get the update as well. Neither carrier has confirmed it but it’s a current generation Nexus device.
We just hope that both Sprint and Verizon update it in a timely fashion.
Samsung Galaxy S II – (Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch)
Two of the three Samsung Galaxy S II models here in the United States have already been graced with Ice Cream Sandwich. The AT&T and T-Mobile Galaxy S II’s saw ICS roll out recently leaving Sprint as the only Galaxy S II on a major U.S. carrier still running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
There are millions of people who own these devices and they are still top notch. Samsung has yet to comment on the Galaxy S II’s upgrade path but it’s certainly possible that those two things won’t cut it.
Remember, the carriers will want to entice people to buy the Samsung Galaxy S III and that could mean upgrading it with Android 4.1 and not the Galaxy S II.
Only time will tell.
Samsung Galaxy S III
The Samsung Galaxy S III is Samsung’s latest Android smartphone and it runs Android 4.0 out of the box on all four major U.S. carriers including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
Considering how new this device is, it would be a shock to see it without an upgrade to Android 4.1. Samsung hasn’t confirmed it, but we expect it to be among the first that receive confirmation.
Samsung Nexus S (Nexus S 4G)
Both the Nexus S and Sprint’s Nexus 4G were the proud recipients of Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update. The Nexus S will for sure be getting the Android 4.1 update, both Google and Samsung have said that it’s rolling out in mid-July, but Sprint’s device is currently out in the cold.
We assume that it will, like the regular Nexus S, get Android 4.1.
Samsung Galaxy Note
AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy Note, its 5.3-inch phablet, is still without Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We know it’s coming but it has been absent for the more than four months that the device has been on shelves.
Still, this is a popular and unique device and AT&T will want to please its customers. It also helps that the Galaxy Note has some powerful hardware. At this point, there is no reason to think that this phone won’t get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Sony Xperia Ion
The Sony Xperia Ion is going to be launching on AT&T with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board. Sony has said that it will get the boost up to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at some point but we just don’t know when.
It has hardware and newness on its side, but it’s possible that Sony will just keep it on Android 4.0, especially if it’s a dud.
–
So there we have it. Again, these are mostly predictions with a few confirmations so expect a lot of updating to go down over the next couple of months.

Well everybody should be excited to hear that android 3.1 is upon us.
The next version of Google's Android operating system, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich, will converge the formerly disparate phone and tablet versions of the OS, Google announced at its I/O keynote today. Ice Cream Sandwich will maintain a single UI across all form factors and will allow developers to create applications for both kinds of devices in one motion. It will follow the rollout of Android 3.1 to the Motorola Xoom tablet and Google TV.
Google says the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android will "all be open source," including APIs for face-tracking and other new features. Developers will be able to account for all form factors within this same version of the OS, and Google will be adding a lot of UIs to accommodate Android devices of all shapes and sizes.
The announcement of Ice Cream Sandwich followed news of Android 3.1, which carries desirable features like resizable widgets in the application launcher. Android 3.1's trip over to Google TV will also carry with it the Android Marketplace and the usability of USB devices. At the keynote, Hugo Barra, director of Android product management, demoed the use of an XBox 360 controller with an Android game.
No official launch date has yet been announced for Ice Cream Sandwich, but Android 3.1 will be available to compatible devices as of today.
Oh ya one more thing, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon announced that it will be updating all devices to the new version of android until their 18 month birthday. So yes the mytouch will get Ice Cream Sandwich!!!!!!!!

So this device came out around novemeberish so we'll stop seeing "official" support around mid 2012ish. Well that's good to know at least, not really worried since we have XDA for the roms and other things.

Unfortunately, as I believe someone else has already mentioned that is for devices moving forward and I would imagine will not apply to our phones. They have not even really set any guidelines as to how they will even go about ensuring updates for devices, it's just a group of carriers and device manufacturers that have said they will attempt to follow through on this promise. I'm hopeful, but there is still the same issue of custom UIs, which require the manufacturer / carrier to update their code, and I think we all know how well that has worked out so far.

Of course our beloved phone will get the latest updates, at least for 18 months after the release. Nexus One already has the Gingerbread update, why wouldn't we get Ice cream Sandwich?
You can sleep tight, our Nexus S will continue to be supported for quite some time

mostly because i heard you will need a dual core to run it and our phones do not have that.
that's typical marketing bull ****. They said the same thing about gingerbread and my HTC CDMA hero is running it faster than the original 1.6.
Google never said that any newer version of android will need dual core. This is just what all the manufacturers would like you to believe so you buy into the hype and spend money for a new phone.
I bet you, all Nexus line phones will get ice cream sandwich before the SDK is even posted.

Google has been courting both HTC and LG for the next Nexus device. I posted a link to HTC's candidate on another thread. I know a lot of people will be disappointed if we dont get it but the NS4G is only weeks old the device itself is going on 6 months ...ours is just a refresh with a 4G radio. That being said i still think most 1ghz processor/512mb + devices should see the update. Eventhough at launch it wasnt the best speced device available. (A lot of the reason N1 users didnt jump ship for it and the reason we dont have the following of the N1 imo.)But all the reports from Google IO/CNET say its to bridge the gap between handsets and tabs. I know it stings but our device is dated already I'm not saying its a lack luster device but...It's not like the N1 which is still comparable to a majority of high end handsets available. The Nexus S just didn't make the evolutionary jump as far as the N1 did IMO. But time will tell I guess.

Well to be honest there are tons of threads that can answer your question. The answer that i know is Sammy said they will release 4.0 for all galaxy variants in first quarter of this year and they said this back in December and have not heard any fixed time period since than.

They said Q2 2012, thats about as precise as you can be without speculating
i just read this
SAMSUNG
Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus already has Ice Cream Sandwich, of course, and most Nexus S phones should have already received an over-the-air update. The status of Android 4.0 for other Samsung smartphones is less clear. Here’s what we know, for now:
- Samsung Nexus S phones started getting Ice Cream Sandwich on December 16. If you own a Nexus S, you should be using an Ice Cream Sandwich device at this point.
- The Samsung Galaxy S II will get Android 4.0 in the first quarter of 2012, as will the Galaxy Note.
- The Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Tabs were both on track for Ice Cream Sandwich, until they weren’t, until they were again, maybe. Basically, Samsung claimed that they would update the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab to Android 4.0 and then announced that they would not, due to the limitations of the device’s RAM and ROM to run both ICS and a bit of touch-interface software called TouchWiz simultaneously. Now, apparently bowing to consumer pressure, Samsung is re-examining ICS for the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tabs, as reported by MSN Korea.
hope it helps
Read that Galaxy LTE devices will get ICS after regular Galaxy S II
If / when ICS happens for the SR, will probably be 4.1 which is touted as the LTE ICS version.
And probably will have to wait for AT&T to put in their bloat and that would delay it more.
Fragmentation YAY!
Every day we see this question or a version of this question.
The release will be depend on your provider and when they push out their version.
The way the update process works is Samsung programs what ever they want into ICS and then they have to send it back to Google for approval, once that's complete it is then sent to the providers for testing. Once testing is complete and the bloatware is added it is send back to google again for approval and any changes will be made and sent back to the provider. Then more testing and once the provider feels that everything is 100% ready to work on their network they release it.
The slowest part of this entire process if your provider.
It looks like Motorola’s next big flagship launch for AT&T has leaked this morning. We’ve heard the codename Dinara for a top tier Motorola phone since as early as last July, but if leaks from the folks at The Verge are correct it will finally be coming possibly this summer as the Motorola Atrix 3 LTE for AT&T
In a way you could call this phone the RAZR HD but for AT&T here in the states since we’ve seen a very similar model over in China. From what we can see this will be Motorola’s next big phone for AT&T. Complete with a 4.3 or 4.5-inch 720p HD display, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, on-screen navigation keys (no capacitive or hardware buttons), clearly some Moto Blur style user interface changes, and more.

Straight from android police
" We didn't think it was possible. We thought it was abandoned, left on the side of the road where no one would ever find it. Yet here, through the fog, a light comes shining through: Verizon is actually releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Thunderbolt. Assuming that users haven't already thrown theirs into a lake by now.
The support page says the update is "coming soon", so we can't confirm exactly when the OTA will roll out, but the important thing to take away here is that it's real, it's definitely coming, and it won't be long now. Thunderbolt owners should be pleased. When it lands, it will be about 395.6MB, so you should probably hop on WiFi. We've reached out to Verizon to find out just when it should be rolling out. When we know, you will.
Of course, Ice Cream Sandwich brings a host of new features including support for new APIs, face unlock, data usage metrics, the slick new recent apps switcher, and all around UI improvements."
