My wife's sensation has been slugglish lately and keeps restarting all the time. I'm assuming because it hasn't been updated since it was new. It was on vodafone but was unlocked a week after and has since had an o2 sim in it. Problem is there has been no software updates since she got it nearly a year ago. Who would the ICS update be coming from? vodafone or o2? I've only tried the OTA update, is there any other way?
Sorry for the noob question, haven't had a droid in a while!
Has it an Custom Rom?
Which CID?
The update would be came from Vodafone
Just a heads up, oftentimes people find that the OTA ICS update slows their phone down to slower than what it was previously, and it's only fixable by wiping data and factory resetting (that is if you want to stay on stock).
You could always track down a RUU and install it that way.
hey there, no its not a custom rom its been on there from new. I don't know what a CID is or an RUU sorry!
Have you considered rooting the device and installing ics that way? Just a suggestion?

I asked HTC about it on their Chat thingy on their website someone told me "I am please to say that The Update is going live in Europe, but unfortunatly Orange UK id the only carrier getting the update at the moment." At least we know it's on the way! I guess.
I then said but Unbranded, T - Mobile, Vodaphone and others are getting it, the he repeated himself!
Only got it today on orange!

I think it's something to do with me having 1.28 software number and not 1.47, anyone with 1.28 been able to update?
I'm in the same boat, totally stock and unmolested unbranded 1.28 and no update :-(

While I was on 1.28 I couldnt even get updates to 1.47 never mind this one. I asked HTC to reflash my ROM to 1.47 a few days ago. This Android 2.3.5/Sense 3 update arrived last night and I have been playing about with it all day
Unbranded? Also will I lose my data if they do this?

Yes unbranded. Your data will Most definitely be lost! Thats why you should back up any contacts to SD Card/Google Contacts. Calender to Google Calender. Tasks are more complicated Wireless and other settings can also be backed up.
I have an UK DS, completely original and standard (2.3.3 and 1.28.401.1). Using it on Dutch KPN network and also no update.
I have it
I recieved it on Tuesday unbranded stock 1.47 good update.
As stated in another thread, I received my DS 2 days ago, and it came branded O2 with latest Android and Sense 3.0.

Hello!
I bought a phone in Netherlands, but I'm now in Russia. Will I be able to update the phone on regular basis from Russia, or will I have to go to service center for this?
I bought fully unlocked HTC ONE S.
Thank you
You should be able to receive OTA updates no matter where in the world you are. Providing that you are with the same carrier that releases the update..
If not, Updates will be leaked and posted on here so you could always do it that way.
I do not quite understand about the same courier. My phone was unlocked and bought from ordinary shop with no carrier. Please explain.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
well if your phone came unbranded you should have a CID number of HTC__001 << this means unbranded HTC
Phones purchased through a monthly contract are usually Branded, for example my CID number is VODAP001 << Which means any updates I receive will be sent via Vodafone..
Usually Unbranded devices are the first to receive updates, so you should be fine. It wont matter which carrier you use as in your case it will be HTC sending out the update
Thank you for your answer. Final question - how can I find this number? CID number I mean...
Thank you again.

I already found. HTC-001. So, I should be fine.
Thank you

Just a quick note: you won't be able to get the update if you have altered the phone in any way, e.g. root, custom recovery, etc. You'll have to get back to stock to install the updates.
Actually, since your phone is HTC stock I'm quite suprised your phone has not prompted you for the update yet... Maybe you should check manually.
I have already installed 1.78 while in Holland. No updates yet... I was thinking to root my HTC and put some custom Rom, as they say it gives better performance and better battery life... But since I cannot update, I do not know now... But anyway, custom roms are often updated fast, so I guess it won't be a problem.
Love my HTC very much, gets a bit warm from time to time... But still better then xperia arc.
Thank you

have orange UK rolled out the 1.78.401.1 OTA yet?
WOW, great news this update. Hope it comes soon from orange as well....
Any idea of what fixes or changes does the update include?.
Best regards.
Hello, nobody can tell me the problems the update fixes?, does it fix the sense reload problem?, and the multitasking?.
Another question, does the update delete anything in the phone?, I know that is recomended to do a backup of everything, but I want to know if in this case it only would be just in case, or it is necessary cause the update deletes something?.
Best regards.
Regarding the European RUU, I have a completely stock branded to vodafone desire S with the 2.3.5 OTA. Will I have to take any measures besides backing up my stuff to install the RUU?
Normally i wouldn't ask this, but the phone being limited to vodafone only sim cards makes me wonder if the RUU will affect any of it or if i have to do extra steps that I wouldn't with an unbranded phone.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think no one really knows yet. RUU is still too fresh. My guess, yes you can just install this on your branded Desire S. Your SIM lock will stay (this is never affected by a ROM). If you now have a Vodafone boot logo, you might lose that. Any apps put on there by Vodafone, you'll also lose, of course.
Actually that would work great for me, tired of the preinstalled crap As for not losing the sim lock, doesn't bothed me so much.
Kinda just want to update without issues, wondered how it would fit this specific situation.
Thanks for the reply m8
Update:
Installed the RUU without issues, phone seems to be working fine so far.. actually have more free memory than before (both without apps installed, did a reset before installing the RUU)
Wifi and 3G are working, phone is smooth but to be fair.. only installing apps atm.. glad to have the update

Did you use anything else except the ics RUU from htcdev? I also have a stock branded TIM Italy Desire S last time updated also via OTA to android 2.3.5 and I want to upgrade to ICS. Sorry for posting in your thread, but I didn't find anything in the forums to answer my question.

I have a tim desire S if you want update it you must debrand you desire S but you can lose your original tim Rom and probably your lost the garantie..

I don't care about the guarantee because I don't use the phone in Italy from where it was bought. Debranding is also a good thing for me. Just want to know if it worked just with the RUU for hin or he needed extra stuff.

no need to unbrand. This RUU is WWE and can be used with all Desire S. Just run RUU if your phone is s-on.
Or you can follow my instruction if you want to use goldcard to update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866204
i have a t-mobile brand desire S. After install the RUU the brand is going away.
ICS i running well to me. no issues.

Did the update with the RUU. Everithing worked fine, the phone is now unbranded. Still has somebugs. On the homescreen some app shortcuts refuse to open on touch sometimes and apps crash when you click links inside them. Hope there will be at least a minor update to sove the bugs ..

I just got a replacement HTC One from Tmo and have been debating on whether to root or not. I haven't upgraded to the jb yet and my biggest issue with my last One S was the loss of Wifi. I tried to downgrade the hboot but that only ever caused problems. Does anyone know if the JB update from tmo and rooting doesn't cause the wifi issues. Or if anyone can help me with these issues id greatly appreciate it
Don't think the jb ota has been released in the states..at least not in Texas
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I don't know if the JB update from Tmo is different from the WWE which I have installed, but the first thing I did when it came out was to revert my One S to stock ICS and stock recovery and fetch the JB update. Afterwards I rooted it. I've never had any problems with wifi, but my One S is unbrandeded and I really don't know what Tmo implement in their roms.
Well from what I've for to understand when you updated with tmo ota for ics is changed the hboot. And I couldn't downgradeit back

Hey Guys
Here is my question, currently I have a completely stock unrooted One S and I just got the notification for a 'system update' from HTC. What I want to know is, if I accept the system update for HTC's official jellybean, will I be able to root afterword?
Add'l info:
Hopefully the answer is a simple 'yes', but I want to ask because I remember when I had the HTC Evo, HTC changed the bootloader when they sent out gingerbread OTA update, and anyone who was unrooted and accepted the update then couldnt root until someone found a new way around the changes, which took a while. And the reason I want to root after the update is because I dont plan on playing with ROMs this time around, I just want to root so I can use some apps that require root access and still be on a stable jellybean. Thanks!

Yes its possible.

Can you post the exact steps you made for going completely stock because i have tried several times and still don't get OTA update notification. (HTC support center stated the update for my s3 was released). Thanks.
AW: OTA Jellybean Update and Rooting
Update notification depends on cid and carrier. The HTC support are a bunch of uninformed people who always answers with standard answers..
Maybe try to change your CID to HTC__001, its the unbranded European one, this CID mostly get the OTA first.
Dont forget to be on stock recovery when flashing OTA
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I think i can't change CID on S3. I guess i'll wait a little more.
