ICS for Desire S ?

Is there a chance for an official update for the Desire S to the ICS ?

Nobody knows, but could be possible...

At this moment no available information about from ths update but in my oppinion its coming about 2-3Q of year.

i've read that htc wants upgrade desire's series. HD,Z and S but in second semester of this year. i'm not sure how much is a credible information..

If HTC is ever going to release official ICS for Desire S then it is for certain that you will have to wait a long time.

Don't hold your breath.. HTC has not been very fast publishing updates, at least not for the Desire series... Q3 is probably overly optimistic (IF there will ever be an official update).

Because the leaked ICS ROM is for the Sensation, which is a qHD device.
It's best to wait for a leak of the XL which had the same screen as us

Why do you wait for an official upgrade, when you can have better ics costum roms

For many reasons..
Even though most of us will be using custom ROMs, we want official bases to work from so we have the right kernel source, drivers etc. This way you have better comparability, battery life, performance etc.
Think HD2. No official WP7.
Unofficial WP7 built with no official drivers = permanent bugs. (Multitouch, camera flash)
I explain this EVERYTIME, when someone posts this....

I'm not sure it will happen. HTC only announces large screen and high resolution phones now. And as we all know, they don't like to upgrade old phones. So if there will be an ICS phone with 480x800, it won't be soon.

For the stock phone its android 2.3.3 withe sense 2.1 upgradeable to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 officially without unlocked bootloader. And yes, it will receive android 4 update but with sense 3.6
If you s- off your order phone or unlock with HTCDev you can load up pretty much any thing you want.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 with sense 2.1. Not sure if it ships with it but it can be updated to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0. Ice cream sandwich is expected this month with sense 3.6

Lucky if you get a desire S with sense 2.1.
First thing out of box, revolutionize it.
If you are buying a new phone, would recommend you too check one v. Almost same specs but newer model hence will receive more updates in the future

How do I get the latest version of Sense or upgrade the version I have?

Hope the microwave thing is a joke?!!! I'm really learning about these things so don't really know how to upgrade to the latest Android and Sense. If I only have Android 2.3 or thereabouts, how can I upgrade HTC Sense so that I can then upgrade my Android?

start from reading the manuals in the forum
if you want to stay on the official versions by htc, you dont need to do nothing.
your phone is up to date, and if update will be available your phone will tell you

I had ics running on my desire s worked fine apart from camera

Yes, because you didn't need htcdev and with revolutionary s-off you can do almost everything inside this forum, the only thing i would recommend is to change the revolutionary bootloader to a eng bootloader, check the index if you don't know how, it will keep you from problems you could face.

To bad jellybean isn't officially out for the hox , plus look in the Dev section instead of asking here if you would have looked a little harder you would have found what you were looking for

There is no room for official JB yet. Try next HTC conference, I'm sure they'll have a room or at least a booth set up to show it off.

Check this thread out. Has everything you need to do for the htc one x att version. Has all the kernels, roms, mods, and everything organized for you to find instantly without searching high and low. Hope this helps.

[Q] How to upgrade to jelly beans ?

Hey dude, I am using my unlocked AT & T HTC ONE X here at Nepal although it was bought at US few months back. I have been searching how to upgrade my AT & T HTC one X to jelly beans and I did not get the solution. Instead I found that HTC one X from AT and T is not same as HTC one x international copy whose update for jelly beans has been published already. So, let me know if some of you guys have idea how to upgrade my phone to jelly beans. Thanks in advance. Also, let me know if the multitasking issue can be solved quickly.

You put your phone in a jar of jelly beans and close the lid. shake it around and shout "jelly bean!! jelly bean!!". Then open the lid.. voila! you now have jelly bean!!

You can get a Jelly Bean rom on your phone by rooting and unlocking, and flashing one of the JB-based CM10/AOKP roms in the original development section.
If you want a Sense rom, you have to wait as nothing has been leaked or released yet for the devs to work with.

Hey thanks for your reply, regarding multitasking issue, its like I don't get the app in same state once its left.
If I leave the browser, it needs to reload the web page. If I leave a game, I need to start from the beginning. If I pause and exit Slacker radio for a minute, the app closes and I can't even resume my music with the headphones button! I need to re-open the app and start playing all over again.

[2013/11/04] Update is rolling out! Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5 - Discussion

The Update is rolling out! :laugh:
In Serbia & Croatia and other countries, for free k2ul.
You can follow the happening from here.
Usually HTC is updating free k2ul (with LTE) first. If all is fine, free k2u are next, together or followed by provider k2ul.
After that, cricket & boost get the update.
At least they did this way for the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
Pictures: Look at this post
==================================================
You need to get back stock, if you are rooted and have custom recovery/rom:
S-On, you have to S-off your device and do the S-off guide
S-Off you can do from the beginning like told here.
==================================================

We don't know for sure if it will come, rumors say yes, HTC says nothing.

I hope (and believe) of course this will come, but its not confirmed officially.
And i don't think it will come before august/september. All before would be a real suprise cause even the update for HTC One isn't released officially. Then will follow OneX, OneX+...
But there are rumors that One S maybe don't get it (technical issues). That would be heavy for them.
Other news say, we get Android 4.2.2 without Sense 5:
HTC One X, One X+, Evo 4G LTE and Others Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 Upgrade
HTC Upgrade List, Who’s Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5?
Here's a video about Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5. Its from HTC One, but features are almost the same (except some things like Zoe or so):
So let's start here a discussion thread about the update to Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5.

They will probably get it eventually via dev / mod roms, have you tried that CM10 rom for the boost one sv over on android forums ? I was thinking about trying the rom only on my phone, I know the kernel wont work as its for boost.

For sure. But it states the end of official lifetime.
Here in germany people always say "don't buy the One SV, buy the One S, cause the SV will get no updates". That news was a little bit funny for me :angel:

No, exactly because the kernel will not boot. But as far as i know, bkcokota is working on CM and i pushed him to simon's thread to have a look.

Football is continue claiming that there will be an update.
A german "insider" is sure there will be nothing.
To make it clear: atm we don't know anything for sure!
But related to One S: it was canceled because of their different processors. Qualcomm does no longer support the S3 version. And before they only update the S4 and user are asking "why does he get an update and i not, we have both One S", the have canceled.
But this problem don't exist on our phone!
So let's hope and keep fingers crossed.

There's article on gottabemobile: "HTC One SV Android 4.2 Update Pegged for “Near Future”"

yeah, it's a great phone, i'm surprised that there are only few power users or developers that use it.

Most people go with the flagship phones or the cheaper (Desire X). Most time people complain about resolution, but when you used to 800x480 (like you and i from Desire S times) its not a problem i think.
But all in all i would say the most devs are working on the flagships.

It is clear that our model is not very popular. If by the end of summer does not release update, then it is likely that 4.2.2 will not.

And as i have heard, the HTC One mini will also have the same processor and 1 GB Ram. So also not a big alternative/difference in 4,3" phones. Better screen, but no sd card, so i'm staying with lovable One SV.
But lets come back on topic, please!

The One SV stands in between the One V and One S in terms of specs(hence it's name),and if the One S isnt getting an update,there is a high chance that the One SV won't get one
But we cannot miss the fact that it was launched after the One S so there is some hope for this device
