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

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.

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):

This is ICS behaviour - it replaces the pop up that appeared when you long pressed in a text box component on earlier Android versions that allows you to configure your input method.
If you test and/or use alternative keyboards or other input methods that shortcut is a blessing imo... if you don't need them, it could be annoying but you get used to it almost immediately.
Ohhh...well why no blue battery bar....that's lame

That's the smallest thing htc had to do! A phone that comes out with a certain version of android will always be updated to the next one... The problem is when htc has to update the sensation to jellybean... Imo the sensation won't ever receive an official jellybean update unfortunately

So we're paying for updates now? God forbid we actually enjoy the phone, but screw that noise, can't enjoy a great phone if I know I've only gotten one major OS update.
Get real. Who cares? The phone launched with 2.3, you got an update that bumped it all the way to 4.0.3, I'd say that's plenty.
We will get Jellybean someday...that's why we have XDA!
No seriously but I have to admit, HTC have no quality control. HTC sense looks pretty, but slow as hell, even with tweaks.
Touchwiz 4 is so buttery smooth, even if it isn't as attractive it is efficient and when i payed for this phone back when both came out I expected some decent usability and speed.
Timescape UI is also so refined. My dads Xperia arc runs smoother on a single core on timescale compared to dual core powered sense. This was my first and last HTC device

Yeah the Sensation will never see an official Jelly bean in my opinion. But there really is no doubt that the Sensation will have ROMs with the next I would say two too three Android OS versions. It just has the hardware specs to be a device that will handle future OS updates.

You have a point, but I personally feel like the Sensation has the ability to continue to get every new Android versions like the HD2 does. The development community for this device is pretty outstanding in my opinion.
Oh and remember the Sensation, as well as all Android smartphones, got locked out of Android 3.0 as it was just for tablets. I mean Google did finally drop the source code on it when the released ICS. But with ICS being for both phones and tablets, I do not really see anyone making the effort to get 3.0 running on a phone now.
I don't see fully why not. I know for a fact it will be able to handle it because the desire c or whatever will definitely get it along with the one v and they are single cores. HTC brought ics to the desire s, why not jellybean to the sensation?

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
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 still haven't had the chance to upgrade. I been wanting a galaxy nexus, but haven't found a price that suits me. Even my tmobiles contract is about to be up in October. Now htc one x plus is around the corner. How many of you guys are waiting for the one x plus.
Im definitely gonna check it out, but Im not loving the rumored specs tbh
My next phone will be either the next HTC flagship for TMo or the new Nexus device.
A leak shows it has att LTE network on it, maybe tmobile won't get it Idk
actually for me i'll stay to my lovely sensation surely for one year more
i'm not switching devices so frequently

Pretty much. I have no contract so I just buy my phones used (got this one for 200 six months ago) or full price, and I'm probably going to wait another generation for the next Nexus phone. Until my Sensation can't do something serious, there's no reason to upgrade other than to get something new.
I will, however, be considering a tablet with a keyboard like the new Surface that Microsoft is releasing. That is, once I see the price.

Same here, my next phone definitely won't be HTC though. Because of the lack of updates and such. I'm going to getting the nexus when it is released. Already have saved up for it. Just waiting for a release date.

HTC One X+ was actually going to be my next device (due for an upgrade in October as well), but now Im thinking I might hold off. I havent seen too much about the One X+, specs look OK but still have yet to see an official pic of the phone. not a fan of Sense either, but I actually do like HTC's build quality (minus the speaker on the Sensation). its a toss up between the One X+ or Nexus' next device
Well guys I gave in and got the galaxy S3. I'm running paranoid android ROM and its been sweet. Getting sick battery life and not missing sense as of yet.
Hell I'm not even missing my sensation.

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.

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.

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). "
