This was also posted inthe petition thread but you'll notice they don't really site any particular source. In any case, they did confirm the one xl was getting sense 5 while I was emailing them about the One S
if by "confirm" you mean completely unsubstantiated rumors with zero mention of a source? If they really had this info, wouldn't they just take a picture of the spreadsheet or whatever they got it from?

Huh?.. Why would HTC spread a rumour to me in emails? They told me the one XL will be getting the update but that the One S would not but that it was not for sure if the North american One S would or not.

a) my comment was in response to the worthless article that cited no source at all
b) to shut you up? What do they have to lose? If they don't give you a date, they can constantly say "it's coming..." every time you bother them, until you sell your phone and lose interest. Like a phone company has never promised an update for a phone and then balked / not come through? Oh no, wait, it happens all the time.
Not trying to even say they lied to you, per se, it's just easy for them to say "sure, we have plans to do it" and never get around to it. These rumor threads are silly because there's no time frame or accountability.

I think you're getting excited for nothing, There's a petition and many of us I'm sure, are willing to boycott HTC should they decide not to update. These manufacturers have to be taught. No point in crying and getting all butthurt about it. If they decide not to update, we teach them by not buying anymore HTC products. That's just my 2c
And please don't say things like "To shut you up" I have the right to free speech just like you.
I'm not crying nor butthurt. Quite the opposite - I actually don't care if HTC updates or not. It'd be nice, but I'm not losing sleep on it (or writing petitions....). I just think these threads about unsubstantiated rumors are silly is all. If it's gonna come, they'll announce a release date; if they don't, no point in getting people excited / upset over nothing. It's completely empty filler.

Last I heard One X was getting the update September/October with XL to follow shortly after that making it October/November.
One S would have followed that with Nov/Dec/Jan which pushes it outside HTC's 18month rule which is probably why they decided they wont be updating it.

As I've said before, I don't care if it's HTC or a 3rd party, but I'm not buying the Sensation till it's cracked and rooted. If HTC wants to help speed up that process, they speed up the time for when I'll purchase the Sensation.
I was already thinking to get SGS2, but now... Now i'll wait

And if they offer the crack for their bootloader. It had better be with NO STRINGS. I mean, if I have to give them my device's unique identifier, just so they can keep a list of people they want to deny warranty to, no dice.
I don't see them budging on their policy. Not for any shipped device (sensation, flyer) anyway.

Exactly. This whole movement didn't start because of something not yet shipped. HTC knows very well this is primarily about the Sensation and then about their other devices to a lesser degree.
HTC and Samsung are in the slug fest and HTC knows the bootloader issue is of concern. HTC will be offering something, for the Sensation at minimum, maybe for other devices too. It just better not have any strings attached.

If HTC weren't considering a backtrack on this issue, I don't think we would have seen a post. Why make people hate you even more by getting their hopes up and then dashing them. Again.
Doesn't make things any better for them if they offer a review, and then don't do it. Or maybe I'm just being very optimistic.

You're correct. If they did anything but offer a crack for the Sensation at this point, it would only make matters far worse for them.
By making the post they've tipped their hand that something is coming. If they don't deliver something it will be far worse a backlash than if they never said anything.

Agreed. Saying nothing and not delivering is ALWAYS better than saying you will think about it, and never delivering!
I see no problem with giving them your phone imei to unlock. Your warned again and again, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, yet everyone still goes forward with it.
I think its only fair to know who is willingly voiding warranty. Provable manufacturer defects surely are arguable

Apologies if this has been asked to death, but my phone search couldn't find it.
I'm in bed with a stinky cold and trying to solve the age-old upgrade connumdrem (nexus or gs2, nexus or gs2). Anyway, I think a timeline of release dates for Nexii/Android OS would help me figure this out, but I can't find one (please bear in mind, my brain is fried atm).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I was up for renewal in Aug. I asked the same questions you did. I am on US verizon. I kept looking at "Galaxy Nexus Coming soon" for months. Dare I say, I was about to go for an iphone. Looking back I'm glad I held out, but I agree, roadmaps with timelines for milestone releases would be nice. I have to do it in my business.
Thanks for that. I ended up going with yhe S2 as i think i value storage over the layest updates.
I did actually make a timeline with contract lengths & update schedules in the end and that clinched it!

Got in contact with a tech agent from rogers asking for the ICS update and when it would be released and this is the answer it got:
We strive to provide you with the highest level of
customer support, and hope I can be of assistance in addressing your
questions.
Unfortunately, due to some technical reasons, Rogers customers are still
unable to update their devices with new android OS. This issue is being
investigated by one of our speciality group. We are looking forward to
get a positive resolution shortly.

Doesn't exactly say its delayed. sounds a bit more of a generic response.
well it is delayed considered it was supposed to be released today (sometime last week)

Maybe someone is just on vacation, who pushes the RED button to release it
"Due to an error in not being able to insert all our bloatware we have delayed releasing it."
Yeah, "technical reasons"... rogers can't find a way past ICS's inate anti virus & anti spam software

sorry but
first off you have to wait for the att/global version to get it.
then two or three months and bloatbloatbloat later you will have your warranty friendly ics.
or you can go to the dev page and as soon as some sauce is out (there are leaks but the still have issues) get it then. your choice.. i just keep an odin tar of i727r around if i need to return it. as long as I don't flash anything dumb like note radios.. again. HA.

Really Need the Tmobile Htc one S 1.84 Ruu. Am getting error 155 with the 1.53 ruu since the bootloader was upgraded withe the 1.84 ota. Phone is bricked right now
If you p/m football he has it. It will require a donation though.

Not to be a poor sport but I would think maybe HTC and Google would have a problem with someone wanting a "donation" for their RUU. That's also not very XDA friendly.
I don't think a donation is required (but good if you can spare a few $ for any devs)
I was told by football that it would cost. I am having a problem with my volume keys sticking and can't exchange the phone till I go back to stock. Looking each day with no luck so far. Been checking random One S forums on the net, no luck yet. Will post it if I find it.

Yeah me too and don't want to pay for it. I've been having Wifi and Bluetooth Issues with 1.53. TMO said I should get the update and it's been a week and it still hasn't showed up.

Here's the thing, he can get it, you can't, it is what it is. He's taking legal risk by distributing proprietary, closed source software, owned solely by HTC. If you want that risk to be worth it to him you gotta make it worth his while. I don't like it either, but I understand. I mean we all know HTC has no problem with c&d letters, legal threats, and possibly even actions.
If he is worried about prosecution, he shouldn't do it. And if he needs the money to defend himself, he won't make enough this way to be worth it. This is more like trying to make a fast buck off something he has that no one else has yet.

How is that any different from those who obtain new devices early and sell them on eBay for $1000? I don't see many people complaining about that, in fact, those over priced devices almost always sell! Those people didn't do anything special either, besides get a product no one else has but many want. No different here! That's life. HTC wouldn't provide it to you at all! People, in general, shouldn't always feel so entitled to things.

Because in the case of a phone you have to buy the phone, it's your property then and you can sell it. With an RUU it is open source and belongs to HTC or T-Mobile, to sell that is violating open source regulations. He can do what he likes, just not very fan friendly.

Don't think he cares about being "fan friendly." It is what it is, and incidentally, I agree with your opinion. However, that's all it is...opinion.

Your example doesn't compare, you are talking an actual phone versus a patch to some software. With physical property, possession is important, with intellectual property it's not. You can't say, just because I have software on my computer that it belongs to me. Whereas you can say, this phone is in my possession, therefore it belongs to me. So just because I have a copy of some software (i.e. RUU) doesn't make it my possession and definitely doesn't mean I can sell it. And going under the "donation" speak doesn't hold water either. Nuff said, he can do what he wants, I have 1.84 now so no worries.

I doubt you have the RUU, if you did you would do what you claim is so virtuous and SHARE it with the community. If not you are worse than the user you are complaining about. I have the update zip too, it's widely available, but if you want the RUU, stop your whining and just pay for it! You aren't going to change his mind complaining about him. Let it go

Well, you did. We didn't. Thanks for condensing.
Nope. The Galaxy S4 is a huge flagship sale, so for every one developer that goes public about not supporting it, I'm sure there's 5 more who will be happy to take their place. I like quality, open source software support like anyone else, and it's always good to have solid developers around. But, there's nothing that I've seen in AOSP development that is so important that it would be worth giving up all the features of the S4 and going with the HTC One. And like I said, just because some developers move away from Samsung doesn't mean there won't be development.

Front page of Xda, that the developer is changing dev support from samsung to htc.
Does this change your mind on future devices?

One dev decided to move from Samsung device to a HTC device ... and then what?
Some HTC devs probably will bump into him, while walking the opposite direction towards Samsung in frustration over HTC

Why does XDA have such crap on its frontpage?
Did I just watch 5 minutes of incoherent non-substantive whining that could have been condensed in 30 seconds?

At last, you and I completely agree.

Poor dude, he got destroyed on YouTube. I don't think it matters much if he is switching, more importantly we want to know if most Dev will still develop for this phone.
Bye Steve, you have fun with those bootloaders.

Couple of things bother me about this vid.
1. He suspects the supplier issue HTC is having is because of Samsung parts. There was a report the shortage was due to their ultrapixel camera.
Didn't this come out of HTC R&D? Not completely sure if this is supplied by Samsung. He would have no way to check it unless he took the phone apart and then he would be SOL putting it back together.
2. Samsung being investigated, while HTC and other companies does the same if you go to review/comment sites (e.g. gsmarena) section using bots or spammers.
3.He has a dead pixel, not a big issue. Um, many people would return their phones for a dead pixel or inconsistent unibody build.
Just thought it was interesting that it is heavily promoted on the website.

hahah i love this guy
What did I just watch & who the hell is this guy? This guy makes a video about this 'switch' that nobody cares about, posted on XDA's front page and we get a trigger happy mod on us for making post that's not to their liking?
Im going to cancel my plans to buy the S4 because this guy moves to HTC, its so dissapointing
