ICS release to OEMs

Has google released it to OEMs or wont do it until GN is out? I ask since HTC said early 2012 for recent HTC phones as far back as Sensation and Evo 3D (which I will say Q1 2012)

This is the Nexus S forum, not HTC.
Ofc HTC, Motorola etc all got ICS version already.

This is a general question that affects the ns because of htcs announcement. Does that mean Google already gave them ics? Or will they wait till the gn is out? Nov 17 right since its out in UK then.
I haven't been in the game long but did the evo 4g (first phone to have gb that I know of) hopefully the ns will get it before htc
Ah sorry about this long post I can't sleep and I work at 8am

No Official Ice Cream Sandwich for Samsung Galaxy S Phones

So its confirmed now, no official ICS update for our phones.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398010,00.asp
I do trust our devs. They will get an unofficial update for us soon.

Didn't even need to search on this one just look six threads down. Come on guys!

Yeah, really shows their commitment to their customers and their promise to support a device for 18 months.

Guys, this may become good news:

They may reconsider having ICS on sgs4g.
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.
Huffington Post
The source code was released as well..

I don't see the Galaxy S 4g on there. I only see Galaxy S. They're completely different phones. Just give up hope!

Every phone company does this- even htc. No one releases more than one, two updates at the most. Hell, Motorola was releasing phones running 1.6 on Sprint when Froyo was released.... can't make it up. Give it about six months and they will kill off the Nexus S, when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Plus 2 is released (I made that phone up, but you get my point). They did it with the original Nexus, which had, according to the other corner of XDA, more than enough hardware to run an ICS port.
Remember guys, if you want ICS, go ahead and spend $600.00 on a Galaxy II, which will be outdated in 3 months. It's cheap.

That's how you run a business in a capitalist environment. I'm a little surprised Apple keeps rolling out updates for their devices for so long.

If any of you fellow Galaxy S users would like to give us Vibrant users a hand..

They haven't even mentioned phones that aren't SGH-T959. That's at least 2 other devices that are similar but not included.

That doesn't matter the gs4g is part of the galaxy s line.

"GALAXY S" 4G
yes it is part of the galaxy s line.
Also why the hell would samsung release ICS for an old phone and dump newer phones.
This phone is much faster than the GT-19000. It would only make so much sense.
This is a galaxy s phone.
The specs of samsung galaxy phones say either Galaxy Phone(e.g. galaxy 3), Galaxy S Phone(e.g. Galaxy S 4G) or Galaxy S II Phone(e.g. Gt-19100)
Anyway, if not then we just have to wait till most of our contracts expire.(or later) then we can get Jelly Bean(potential name for Android 5.0)

Samsung took months and months to release gingerbread,I doubt we getting anything..anytime soon

thats really great cuz im a late buyer of the tbolt (saw it for $50 at bestbuy this january and pulled the trigger cuz i was broke and wanted a new phone) and was wondering if i made a wrong choice -_- im ics themed like crazy and cant wait till its officially released, i really enjoy ics and how it works with the minimal use ive tried on the nexus. makes me very happy now starts the waiting game..
i predict july! would b proper for my birthday too

Well July may be a little optimistic, but hey who knows!
I'm hoping that when the Tbolt finally does get it's ICS, that it CM9 will become official for the Tbolt. I would LOVE some AOSP ICS. From what I've read, ICS was made with LTE in mind, so once we get an official ICS, it should be smooth sailing as far as that goes.

Looks as though we might get JB after all.

According to this article I found we are one of the FEW moto phones to get JB.
How dependable is it? Heck if I know. I'd just like ICS at this point...

Well, I would consider it more a "gettin' ready for the glory hole" plan, so as to be of some contributor-level support on what everyone is waiting so anxiously for (ICS/JB for the ATRIX 2); and beyond that, this has become an enormous interest for me, as I am sure is the same for many others, and just want to get at the heart of it with full fervor... but, nonetheless, I know where our limitations are, what our capabilities are possible of, and know that we (the A2 community) can seriously tear this phone a new one when all put our heads together! In the meantime, I shall be immersing myself in getting "me smarts on" as some kid in college said to me, who probably now works for the city's sanitation department!

That article is just speculation. With the atrix hd coming out i highly doubt we will get jb officially. Once we have official ics the devs will be able to work up something for us.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

It's confirmed that sgs 2 isn't getting jelly bean update. Hence I doubt Atrix getting it. And reading the source its just their guess and not confirmation from motor. Let's get the official ics first and then hope for jb.

motorola has history of upgrading phone to only one update like they did with defy ....came with 2.1 ....they release 2.2 ...though its totally capable of running 2.3 they never released 2.3 instead they released defy plus with 2.3.3 so its same with atrix 2 ...now they released atrix hd with ics ...... only razr ,razr maxx nd atrix hd from motorola will get jellybean ...

The OG ATRIX came with froyo, got the GB update and is scheduled to get ICS. I wouldn't say that this phone WON'T get JB but by the time it does I will be long gone and into another phone.
The ONLY way I buy another MOTO phone is if they make the next Nexus.
Moto makes some excellent phones and I would recommend them to anyone who simply wants a phone and doesn't like modding things. But since we are all on this great site, that rules us out and unfortunately Moto thinks we are the minority and they do not care about us.

I agree. My wife started out with a backflip and now she has the original atrix and they are stable for her because she don't care about modding. Myself on the other hand bought the a2 because of motorolas products being stable and I thought we would have the bootloader unlocked by now. This will be my last motorola phone for sure because of the bootloader issue. The a2 is a good phone but Im just getting bored to easy with it.

True, and the reasons for JB denial on SGS2
dual core(min quad required??)
low resolution(min hd 1280x720)
I guess a2 has similar config, and also likely to miss the JB upgrade

Not all OG atrix ....some r still in plans of evaluation and planing.....nd i think some has even been rejected for ics......anyways OG ATRIX WAS A FLAGSHIP OF its time i read Engadget article how AT&T introduce new phone to market posted here by Dev Jim ....... The reason they r updating it to ICS IS due to its flagship status .....while Atrix 2 is not a hit or flagship device........nd now since they release ATRIX HD Like defy plus......the chances has became slim ....anyways ur right with moto for excellent phone.......its the only reason i got this phone after using defy for a year....

This will be my last Android let alone Moto!

other way
We should consult Oracle (from matrix) bootloader UNLOCKING :laugh:
or hire Neo

HTC Kills Desire HD Ice Cream Sandwich Update Plans?

It’s been nearly two years since HTC first announced the Desire HD, making it a proper dinosaur in the smartphone world. Despite its age, the manufacturer had been planning to give the smartphone a fresh new start with an Ice Cream Sandwich update. At least, that was the plan, but now it seems that HTC may have reversed course, and the Desire HD won’t be seeing an official ICS release, after all.
Back in May, we saw a list of which HTC models were due their ICS updates, and when; the Desire HD fell in the July-August range. We’d assume that was still the case, were it not for Canadian carrier Telus updating its own list of future software releases, noting that the Desire HD’s Ice Cream Sandwich release is now canceled. According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”
That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.
We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

It's against XDA rules to make duplicate posts in multiple forums.
Considering you posted the exact same in the Desire HD forum, I will take the liberty of closing this thread to avoid replication. Although the 2 devices are similar, they are branded under different carriers. Update policies will certainly be different, and as most long time users know, what a carrier/manufacturer says about updates, isn't necessarily the truth, and things change.
Most "OTA" update dates can be classified as nothing more than "rumors".
Please avoid posting duplicate posts in multiple forums, unless specifically approved by a moderator beforehand.
Thanks!
