Hi all,
Can't find any news on the at&t HTC one x JB roll-out but found this:
http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/1...ne-software-updates-telstra-optus-vodafone-8/
So this is our best hope to get the official JB from HTC and hopefully the devs will bake something good once this is out.
thats not to far off a week or so
hope we get a leak soon
I can't freaking wait! I'm anxious to see what kind of tricks these awesome devs can pull off!

Well, yes and no. Sure, it'll technically be 4.1, but 4.2 isn't a huge update - the 4.2 version of Google Now, for example, is also available in 4.1. Also, the Sense camera has some benefits (Burst Mode, Slow Motion Video) that still aren't available in the improved native 4.2 camera app.
The real feature I'll miss from 4.2 is lockscreen widgets, but it's not that big of a deal.

This mid-November date is pulled from Telstra Crowd Support info:
http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Handset-updates-8-November/td-p/95790
The mid-november is HTC submission to Telstra which will likely need modifications etc. Telstra are expecting 2 builds required for this release prior to going public.
HTC submit test build 1
Telstra suggest improvements
HTC submit test build 2
Telstra accept or suggest improvements
HTC submit test build 3 if required
Telstra accept or suggest improvements
....
HTC/Telstra release.
A mid-November for the initial submission means the public release will likely be well in to December. And this has slipped by a month now, it is possible this wont go public till January. All this also depends on the builds actually coming by mid-November, as said this already slipped from the start of October.
I am not sure, but these delays are from HTC not Telstra, I doubt any carrier from any regions has received initial builds. All carriers waiting for JB are likely to see their builds rock up in a similar time period(ETA mid-November) and then the carriers own internal testing regime would determine which carriers release first.
Well too bad.
Aokp for now I guess

And this is why we are in a forum about rooting/modifying your device.
There will be a leak or an official build pushed to an international one xl and it will be ported to all the carriers so that we can all use it without waiting

Samsung S3(non LTE) JB from Telstra will go public 22nd November. They are only a few weeks ahead so far and you really cant complain about a few weeks.
Comparable device release dates and flagship status etc and both are getting the JB update in a comparable time frame.

I'm sorry you feel that way but being two software releases behind 8 months after a "flagship" phone is released is unacceptable to me. You really think we'll get it before Christmas, with the One X+, DNA, and 8X coming out? Face it, they could care less how soon we get it. If at all.
Most of the blame goes to the carriers, but not even the international version has it officially yet, so HTC is also to blame.
Yeah I feel the same.
Its like HTC hired the guy/team from lg that was responsible for software updates, and he's on holidays.
I'm losing respect for HTC daily, S3 came out a good spell after the Onex and its moving ahead before the Onex, that is garbage.

I thought I would get some feedback from fellow One S users: I just saw how frickin' awesome Jelly Bean is going to be, and have come across an opportunity to trade my One S for a GNex (which has already begun receiving the JB update). Given how long it takes for HTC to roll out ANYTHING, should I make that jump? I know there are a few trade offs, namely an inferior camera on the GNex. But JB looks so sweet, and I am a HUGE fan of vanilla Android. What do others think?

I know the One S has better specs, but who knows how long we will be waiting for JB. I guess my main gripe with the One S is how we're stuck with Sense. I tolerate it, but I vastly prefer vanilla Android and AOSP. I know some AOSP builds have made progress but still have problems with no real solutions in sight yet, like camera and connectivity issues.

I was thinking about the same thing too but i'm just gonna keep the One S.
weeks from now we'll get it ported and our device will be SWEET!
Hopefully within 6 months HTC will give us an OTA update also.
Nexus has the better screen+NFC+JB but our One S is superior in design, power, camera, & sound.

Things are working to a degree but CM9 is still far from my daily driver standards. I check that thread all the time and keep seeing issues pop up, particularly with picture/video recorder quality, which is a deal breaker for me.
And I would be getting money on top for the GNex, if this guy ever gets back to me. I wouldn't even really need much back to even out what I spent since I talked the T-Mo reps down to $100 for my One S when I got it.

HTC is not TOO bad when it comes to releasing software updates. It certainly is not the worst, *cough* Samsung. Once Google officially releases the source of Jellybean, HTC will begin updating Sense to 4.1. It's safe to say that we would not receive and update until at least 1-2 months after the release; possibly more, depending on HTC's developers. One thing I am skeptical about is waiting to T-Mobile to release their version of HTC Sense with T-Mobile apps and bloatware. If anyone is on stock T-Mobile waiting for an update, this is one thing to consider. I am sure this will not take long as all T-Mobile has to do is add its apps and bloat ****, then release it.
Regarding the difference between the GN and HOS handsets, our device is much better; at least, in my opinion. We have a MUCH better build quality (metal, sleek). We also have better specs, albeit, no sdcard slot. Just because a device gets and update first does not mean it is the best. The GN has it first because it is still the flagship stock Android device as it is a Nexus device. If our HOS was on stock ICS with no Sense, we would get the update at the same time as well, most likely. In sum, we just have to wait a bit longer
EDIT: benchmark scores do not mean ****.

Since t-mo HOS is identical to its international counterpart, we will be able to install the official update almost as soon as it comes out. (and the devs get their hands on it :fingers-crossed

I hope that you haven't made this premature nd stupid move till now, and if you did than you sure be regretting it.
We already have a almost everthything working JB CM10 (there's ur vanilla jellybean experience) and also HTC has officially announced that One S will get JB update soon and have already started working on it.
We would definately get official JB within 2 months max and that as good as it gets.

The choice was taken out of my hands:
Boss: "Hey what's this Android phone I hearing you guys debate about all the time?" (My boss is a bit of a technologically challeneged guy; he still uses Blackberry and had me set it up for him when he got it)
Me: (insert my explanation of Android, Jelly Bean, and the iOS v. Android argument here)
Boss: "Wow that sounds pretty awesome. What phone comes with that new Jelly Bean thing?"
Me: "It's going to start rolling out to the newer Android phones over the next few months, but the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has it now."
Boss: "Great! Order me one and set it up, would you? And grab one for yourself while you're at it."

Hello Guys,
I have the same old Sensation XE problem of WiFi, Hotspot and Bluetooth which i took to HTC Customer Care only to get a reply "I tried downloading your update but our servers are down so the download gets terminated in between...please visit tomorrow".....same thing since more than a month. I have grown tired by that and i have stopped visiting.
Anyways, my question....do you think the XE will get a JellyBean update sooner (India) ? If yes then i would like to wait for it. But it not....i just downloaded recently uploaded stable CyanogenMod 9 and i am so tempted !!!
Thank You

At least three.

Desire V
Desire C
Droid Increditble 4G LTE
Evo 4G LTE
Rezound
Amaze
Vivid
There are more, but I forgot/don't care to remember.
I don't think they will because updating the sensation means they have to update Sense 3.6 AND Sense 4 to JB. I don't think they will want to go through the trouble
I don't need the crap stock....
Any way it will be ported as sense 4 did.....

The One X has Sense 4, so if Sense 4 needs updating to work on JB then they'll be doing that anyway, and we know the Sensation can run Sense 4 so it's not going to be that difficult for HTC to release a JB update for the Sensation.

I agree but in terms of support HTC would have to support multiple versions and will probably choose not to do that as it == $$$$ in costs. It's just cheaper for them not do so and get us mugs to just buy newer phones.
Or, go to something like CM10.
I think if the Sensation will get the 4.1 update, you will know about in a few months. Remember that the first 4.0 update was available for Sensation & XE.
I think XE will get Jelly Beans, but maybe not sense4. Sense4 includes burst and HDR camera functions needing the image chip which XE doesn't have.
Sense 3.7 with android4.1 is most possible I think.

Yeah, considering they took so much time rolling out update outside europe i am a bit skeptical about it. More that that Desire HD which i used, got its 2.3.5 update (from 2.3.3) got its update after 2 months of ICS release and i am hopeless about them releasing udates on time.
i see the desire hd saga all over again from htc ,im sure htc wont update sensation to jb ,but im curious what will be the excuse
Short HTC Support Cycles?
So what's the support cycles on HTC these days? Six months? Seems upgrade support is dropped after six months because HTC are falling in to the Nokia trap. Release a bewildering array of phones to 'meet every market niche', spread themselves thin and drop support for last seasons 'bewildering array of phones' after only six months.
Samsung seem to be offering longer support cycles now?
This is where Apple just keep beating Android hands down. Imagine the uproar if Apple dropped upgrade support on an iPhone 6 months after release. Their support is more like two years?
Not happy HTC. I fear you will go the way of Nokia!
I love Sense but with HTC's build quality brand damage last year and ever shortening support cycles, I'm struggling to understand why I shouldn't just go Samsung like everyone else.
How far HTC has fallen. They were once the de-facto Google partner. Now even Google won't touch them.
... is almost gone and still no JB update on the horizon. I doub't that there will be an JB Update this month
Anyone with me?
It's htc obviously there isn't going to be a jelly bean update they talk out their back side all the time never buying another HTC device.

They actually never said October, that was just a rumour and supposedly only for the X, not the S.
They only came out the other day officially saying November for the one X and December for the one S.

Update: The latest reports suggest the One X will see Android 4.1 pop up in October, although HTC are yet to officially confirm anything.
Update:HTC has confirmed its One X and One S devices will be getting Android 4.1 in November and December respectively, and the update will land with an enhanced version of Sense – cunningly named Sense 4+ after its debut on the HTC One X+.

Man...some of you don't seem to understand how the update process works. Weather HTC said this month or not it doesn't matter. You service provider has final say as to when you get your precious update.

Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
A lot of us have sim free devices, which means we don't have to rely on network providers, so in theory if HTC released the JB update for Europe, every sim free one s that was bought from Europe should have the JB update by the end of the week, likewise for USA etc. Network locked/branded phones have to wait.
Sim free device means it comes down to the CID number.
Although with the way things worked out for the last update, it sounds like you're better of with branded phones
Take 5-10 seconds to read this thread, I already posted that quote in this thread already......
Regarding as to if JB will make a difference or not, many people who have the GS 3 have said the difference in smoothness is pretty big coming from ICS and from my experience the GS 3 is smoother than the S, just not as nippy/speedy though.
Besides there is more to it than just project butter:
- notification tray UI update
- improvement in battery slightly
- improvements in sense such as themes for the SMS sense app, camera UI, battery history/graph
No doubt there will be other improvements, possibly improving signal/wifi performance even more.

I'm just going to throw this in here also... Coming from a family who has ran a small business, deadlines are hard to keep. You may think with 100% certainty that something will be done by then, but something else pops up and you have to focus on that.
Even with HTC being a bigger company they have a TON of other things to worry about, not going out of business for one. There's no way HTC has as many developers on board as Samsung and Google at the moment, not to mention how much more work goes into Sense UI than Touchwiz.

Not only that, but do you remember a few years ago when phones didn't update firmware or software at all?! As someone already mentioned, the recent OTA update is great, and gets any job done for all intents and purposes. This is a case of wanting the shiny new thing right away - I say you're lucky you don't have to buy a new phone to get it at all, IMHO.
If you can give a solid example how JB will fix a major problem, or make your Android-Phone-using life drastically better, I'll reconsider. In the mean time I'm more than happy with what I have.

Couldn't agree more. I don't see how much better my phone can get, it does anything and everything I want it to. It lasts me more than all day, except if I play heavy games (Which is a given with any phone...)
If you want fast updates, and a lot of them go to a iphone.
Everyone is nagging on HTC, while not enjoying what they have.
Jellybean will not drop until after the one x+ drops. Count on it. That's how they get that small percentage of impatient people to upgrade.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but give HTC a break.
I mean, it is them but it is us too.
Several companies haven't even pushed ICS yet.
And are you kidding? Not many things changed, just an addition of Google Now and some other things. I would understand if they like promised like 5.0 Kandy Kane/Key Lime Pie/Krispy Kreme or whatever, but no.
The update is also confirmed to start rolling out in October-November.
HTC no longer announces dates for release of software due to the nature of the software development process. At any point in the software development cycle a situation may be encountered that requires anything from some minor additional rework, to complete rewrites of the software base. Only after the final acceptance testing has been successfully completed will HTC release software. The normal time period between the final acceptance testing and release of software is about a week and often shorter than that.
Also, look at other companies. Samsung, Huawei, Sony, Alcatel, etc. All companies are never sure when they are going to release it. I'm sure it's not easy to develop something for ever single device and customize everything to a liking. All phone companies lie.
Hope that helps!
I also think the main reason they could be late is because of rebasing it on 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1, to avoid another update in the future.

Hi guys !
If you look at the link below, it says (in French sorry :/) that the htc one x & s (SFR branded) will be updated on the 6th November. It also mentions that they are now validating internally the update.

Jellybean will not drop until after the one x+ drops. Count on it. That's how they get that small percentage of impatient people to upgrade.

This.
I am sure JB has been ready for quite a while now, well most certainly for the one X anyway.
Only reason they don't release it for the X is due to the above, another selling point for the X+.
Exact same happened with the GS 3 and the GS 3 LTE model in the UK, only in the last few days have GS 3 UK owners been getting the JB update despite the LTE model being out for a month or a few weeks iirc. Only difference between them is one has an extra GB of RAM and is LTE supported.
I am in no rush at all really, however, I would like to get the update before the end of the year though especially since I can't see us getting 4.2.....
Here is just a glimpse preview of what JB and the new sense will bring, it is for the X though and some stuff isn't right i.e. we do have the notifications new features, which shows more detail.

The one X will.
I just have a funny feeling the s won't, due to it not being popular at all, HTC have a whole bunch of new android phones out and will be releasing even more in the next 1-2 months meaning less time and money to spend on older devices. Plus we have only had like 2 updates since the phone released, where as the X has had around 4-5.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and really hope I am.
Although if the XL gets the update (and am pretty sure it will), then there is absolutely no reason why they can't provide the update to the S as well.....

Yup, I got the email. As mentioned above, its for the unveiling of the new HTC flagship device. Code named M7, and rumor says it will be simply called the "One".
For those that didn't get the email, it links to this webpage: http://www.htc.com/www/?cid=email_promo_HTCTeaser_body_img_HTC
The webpage shows a blurry glimpse of the phone whenever the clock's seconds digit hits "1" second (51, 41, etc.). And the "1" turns green, further indicating that the new device will be carry the "One" branding.

As far as rooting and custom roms go I dont know, but definantly not on the phone specs itself. Even if it had basicly the same specs as the dna it wouldn't be a let down.

I'll probably be looking for an upgrade to my One X in the next few months. So in terms of that, I don't think it will disappoint. Of course the DNA is very recent, so the new flagship wont be a huge leap forward in comparison. But the DNA isn't an option for me anyway.
Not sure I'm crazy about the looks of the new phone in the leaked photos (if they turn out to be true). But specs wise, I think I'll be happy.
I'm excited but disappointed with HTC not getting with AT&T to push Jelly Bean to our HTC One X... This will probably be my last HTC device, spent $549 on this phone to find it obsolete 9 months later while every other manufacturer is pushing JB to their devices. The issue is with HTC & AT&T, both are coming close to being on the same level in my opinion. This is the best phone I've ever owned and it's camera proved itself next to a Canon ELPH 320 HS & Canon T3 --- but if a company wants to purposely outdate their phones, they will lose customers such as myself.

Odd to see this type of comment on XDA. XDA exists so we can mod our phones however we like, not wait around for stock OTAs from our carrier. Just unlock your bootloader and be done with it. Jellybean has been available since last July (in the form of CM10), and "official" Sense JB since December. AT&T JB is not going to bring us anything we don't already have now.
The HTC One was unveiled this morning. Looks pretty hot:

Anyone remember the change.org petition for our One S to get Sense 5? It got over 10,000 signs and there were some rumors that HTC will release an official update - but thats it.
HTC released Android 4.2.2 plus Sense 5 for the HTC One SV (worse device that ours) and left us behind again. So don't ever except an update for our device.
MAYBE, htc will skip 4.2/4.3 and HOPEFULLY give us KitKat

Agree with that . And personally i think HTC don't care about update.. their principal motivation is trying to challenge their rival samsung and apple on the market. That's why they put out 3 or 6 devices in the same year . Update is not a good thing for them cause if they make some update for the one series (x,s,v,sv,xl,x+) then they cannot sell device like they do at this moment. Their politics is like that : (update=new device).. the only thing HTC care about is money.
I love HTC device and sense UI but HTC don't care about their users..

Hello. I wrote some emails to Jason McKenzie (the president of HTC US) and he answered that an update for our device will never come. I sent him like 10 mails and he answer always, but the response is the same: they can't roll out the update some some reason that are in their control and others that they can't control. If someone interested, I can publish some content of the mail..

Sure, why not.
CM 11 will also not come to One S. Or it will not work properly (dont ever expect working camera,bluetooth and much more)
Ok. This is the fist answer to my mail: 'I understand your frustration and am personally driving a focus on upgrade commitments for our customers. *Unfortunately, the decision to upgrade or not upgrade is not solely an HTC decision. *We also require carrier approval. As a company, we are focused on delivering strong sw experiences that resonate with customers which is why we invest in HTC sense.*
It's also important to note that of all the android suppliers, HTC has the strongest track record of updates as validated by 3rd parties. With that said, we are far from satisfied and*my vision is that we deliver highly transparent information to our customers with clear commitment around certain products. *
As you note, we are not scheduled globally to update the One S. This is true for a variety of reasons some that are in our control and others that are not. And I'm sorry for this, but do believe it is a strong phone with strong sw given the investment we've made to improve the os.*
Thanks'

I won't be so sure about that, i've read on CM10.2 thread that some dev are working on it and it seams to work pretty well and more KitKat update seams to fix some reboot problems. And Cyanogen limit for a phone, as told, is like for Google 512Mo of ram and a decent CPU so I think we will not be left behind

HTC isn't a disgrace. It's just a mobile phone company who struggle with many problems: deficit income, competitors such as Apple and Samsung, smartphones market pressure, etc. I pray they will stand up and back stronger with new innovations. We need to stay positive and optimistic.
For me htc is the best in innovation, they bring a very full UI with tons of settings, 3d, best improvement in sound, very good innivation in camera .. people are obsessed with apple but apple suck in innovation ( 4 generation of device with same UI)
I hope they will care more about their users and back with a bomb who will blow their rivals .

In case of hardware KitKat would run excellent on the One S no question.

No over-the-air update was promised; just an update was 'promised', if you can even call it that.
That ROM is based on semi-official sources; i.e. the update for the HTC One X+ with the MSM8960 S4 chipset. The North American One S runs on the same chipset, specifically the T-Mobile version which is needed for AWS support.
This is probably why HTC first announced that they were thinking about NA One S users first, before anyone else.
