The reason I ask is because it took them so long to actually release 4.0.and when they did it was only with 3.6 sense not 4.0 sense and also the sensation has been out for awhile now.

This knows only HTC
I don't think they will because the sensations been out for awhile and it barely got 4.0.and buy the time Jb would come out it would around the end of the year and by.then they will have a new HTC smartphone released by then.The HTC one s I believe its called there latest release I would say for sure will get it.trust me I would love to have it on my sensation.

Wait a time, and the first Jb Custom Roms come out
Desire HD is getting ICS (eventually), as the sensation is a generation newer and top of the range (at the time) handset, I like to think there's a reasonable chance it will get Jelly Bean. Should be less work than ICS was from what I've heard?
IIRC, T-Mobile is only obligated to release OTA updates for one year of the release date? What I'm saying is that the HTC Sensation 4G is almost at its 1 year life cycle, so I don't see T-Mobile pushing out another significant update for it like Jelly Bean.
I doubt HTC will update our phones to 4.1, but I know for a fact T-Mobile won't do it. I don't actually know for a fact, but I guarantee they won't.

I'm currently rocking a Desire Z but would really like to upgrade. The Sensation's caught my eye and I can get a cheap deal for it after selling my Desire Z, but I'm not sure if it's wise to go for it or wait for Ice Cream Sandwich.
Rumours have been pointing to a September/October release, which I can wait for, but the most recent leak, the one on RootzWiki and AndroidPolice, where the source claimed that ICS was some time away from launch and we won't be seeing it in the September/October time frame.
What do you guys suggest? The Sensation's definitely got the oomph to run ICS, but should I wait for an ICS phone from HTC around Christmas time?
It's up to you. I don't know if I would be willing to wait for HTC/ tmo to push the update.

The Desire Z is nice. I had the G2. If you are into modding, and since you're on XDA I'm guessing you are, I would upgrade and then flash whatever ICS port that we get. That's just me.
The Vision is definitely a capable device to hold you over if you don't want to upgrade.

I used to buy resell phones. I suggest selling ur current phone, get the sensation for dirt cheap as u say. Then buy an ics phone. Cuz if u wait you'll end up spending more cash as the desire z will lose value.
Dot get me wrong it also depends how much ur selling and buying for. Just run the numbers urself and don't forget to think about the 2year contract price if its an option for u

I'm 100% happy with my decision to go from desire hd, which is the same generation as desire z, to the sensation. Like you I was a little unsure but my itch got unbearable and I must say I love this phone. It is notably faster than Dhd already even on gingerbread.

Is te HTC Inspire gettin ICS?
sent from something called...i think its a computer...not sure
As of right now, the Inspire is supposed to get ICS, but it is still up for debate. I bet there will be ICS ports though, so we will get it one way or another
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I thought HTC denied the Inspire would get ICS
Unless they denied it within the last week, it is still floating in limbo. Some say the HTC Ace and Stallion,which are the code names for DHD and Inspire, should receive ICS
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Even if the inspire doesn't get an official update to ICS there will be a custom rom
I don't think there will ever be an official release. We may get a newer gingerbread upgrade since the last on bites, but development for the inspire leaves us with better roms than stock anyway. I bet there will be a better more stable release through xda before ics ever hits officially for the inspire, but I don't think it ever will. I emailed HTC and asked if we would be getting ics or any other upgrades and they said they are working to make the experience better for the inspire but do not have anything in the works currently. This lead me to beleive they are long past worrying about the inspire. We will probably not even get a better gingerbread build imo.
HTC already released the list of devices that are getting ICS, Inspire4g/desire hd not in it.
Sorry.
If it doesn't we will still get it with ports from other devices... and of course cyanogen so no worries man

It wasn't a complete list. It was like these are the phones are definitely getting ics. The HTC desire had just got gb earlier this years when HTC clearly said it wouldn't. So don't count our phone out.

Yeah i saw it somewhere it wasn't the complete list, but i find it hard to believe an 1 year old phone get the second update of its existence; the phone is technically 1 year old, considering its a variation of the DHD (released in september '10 I believe)
Sure i hope for a ICS release.

The source code is gonna get posted on 17th with all probability. Sometime after that we should start seeing some true ICS ported ROMs.

I think htc will give us the official release of sense 3.0 or even sense 3.5 to make up for the widgets and animations ICS will have to offer so we arent completely out of the loop

It wont matter really what HTC releases. It will be up to ATT to release a build built for the inspire or the best we can hope for is a port from the DHD. ATT normally has done a One OS update per device and thebinspire got theirs already. Hope I am wrong but history says I am not.
+1 for zelendel's post.
For anyone interested in ICS ROM(port):

Do you guys think that HTC will release a new phone later this year to compete with the iPhone 5 since their "flagships" weren't really worth that title?
Sent From My OrDroided Sensation 4G
Maybe they'll do a sort of bump to the One X like they did the XE to the Sensation but they said they'd release less phones so that remains to be seen. Perhaps they'll see how well their sales are and then decide?
That said I do feel the One X is a worthy flagship for HTC but that's just my opinion.
Well I talked to a HTC rep at the beginning of the year concerning the possibility of super amoled in the sensation and afterwards ha asked if there was any advice I had for HTC ( along those lines) and I said not not release as any phones as their flagship devices get extremely quickly outdated. He said that HTC were only going to release the one series but somehow I doubt that is true.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
The one x is a good phone but what killed it out here is that it has no removable battery and I have T-Mobile USA so they don't even offer the one x...only the one s which really isn't an upgrade.

But they are planning to release a one x aren't they?
Don't blame me here or anything but I've heard from rum ours they might release a quad-core snapdragon s4....

Samsung has just announced that GS2 would get jellybean.
If sensation doesn't get, maybe many people won't choose htc again next time.
Well this is my last HTC phone for this reason. Next will be wp8 or Android phone from google.
Its very unlikely that the sensation will see any official from htc, but the HTC one s will and that's when we'll see some ports of sense jelly bean

I'm from TW, and as I know, HTC doesn't say anything about our Sensation upgrade.
HTC has been busy working on OneX / OneS upgrade and maybe our Sensation is abandoned though...
Why should the Sensation not get a Jelly Bean update? After the One-Smartphones is the Sensation the next Smartphone which could handle JB.
It's not a point of whether the sensation can handle 4.1 or not, its HTC devoting its resources to their flagship phones. The one x is future proof for a good while yet, but when HTC launch a new phone to replace it, the one x won't receive updates, even though it's perfectly capable of running the software. Just wait, it's likely to happen.

You really shouldnt need someone to explain that.
At the end of the day, HTC are a buisness and so must run that buisness
No official word from HTC but very unlikely. You can still get CM10 which runs quite well on the sensation.
This device is over year old... Don't hold your breath!
Phones are so expensive these days people can only afford a new one every two years (or when their contract is up for renewal in the UK) so it is a little annoying that in the second half of your phones lifetime with you it isn't supported by HTC. I think it's definitely going to be the most recent Google phone for me next.
Besides I now hate sense anyway

Will HTC Sensation XE get official Jellybean support from HTC?
If it will, can someone please provide a source ? Has HTC confirmed Sensation XE support?
and if yes to jellybean
will it be sense 3.6 or 4.0?
nope
I think yes.
The official german htc Facebook Page told, that it will come!
I dont know, wich Sense but they said, it will Come
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Until we see an official statement, announced by HTC all these facebook and other site sources are just speculations and rumors. Jelly bean will come along with the new HTC One X+ and will also be received by the ONE X and ONE S first. After these devices are updated HTC might decide to do something with previous phones as well.

I doubt that page is an official HTC page, it says in the article that the link was posted that it wasnt an official statement.
I think no, mainly because Football says we wont and also because of some other reasons that I posted in the sticky thread in Sensation General.
It ever our phones will not have official jellybean. I might be thinking of rooting it after my warranty expires

Hopefully but not likely
i don't believe that there will be official support, but i found that some htc one s have snapdragon s3 processor (the same of htc sensation), so, when it will be updated to JB, probabliy there will be some kind of porting to our device
This is BS. I'm really struggling to think of a single good reason to stick with HTC when it's time to refresh my phone and this is a big reason why. Support for the XE was dropped hard after only a matter of months. Samsung's stellar market share rise is in part due to their much better support.
How can we trust HTC any more knowing if we buy another HTC phone, support will be dropped after 6 months and even that's pushing it? I bought my XE back in February this year when it was still a 'flagship' phone so I fell pretty cheated by HTC right now.
My wife currently has a HTC Desire Z (keyboard) and I'm moving her on to Samsung now, my experience with the XE being a big part of the reason why.
Not happy HTC! Why don't you just release a FEW phones and SUPPORT them rather than a gazillion un-supported phones of every possible variation? Didn't Nokia try that strategy? And look where it landed them, they are not even on the charts any more!
Well... I wrote to the support and they said: maybe, but for sure there won't be official Sense 4.x on sensation.
Sorry to say it's extremely doubtful, highly unlikely, that we will ever get official jelly bean. HTC had forgotten about the sensation. To them it's to old. They will just say our device can't support jelly bean or some B.S. like that. My guess is NO. NEVER. even though we're not yet two years old we are forgotten. I'm running a great jelly bean Rom right now thanks to our wonderful developers! Don't know what I'd do with out them!

If HTC drop support for what was a flagship device this quickly, I will never buy HTC again... Samsung all the way from now on!! I hope HTC pull their finger out and re-consider their policy of dropping support after six months, for the sake of their own survival.
Lame... Samsung all the way when I get a new phone... way to lose loyal customers you idiots..
Finally yes
I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "
