incredible s and ice cream sandwich

When ice cream sandwich will be out, will HTC roll out the update to the IS also?
Or only the sensation is going to enjoy the new OS?

No one has said anything about any device, it is far to early to speculate

I didnt mean to say that the sensation is built on ice cream. I meant that because sensation is the 1st dual core phone of HTC and ofcourse their flagship phone, then i was asking if when ice cream is out, HTC will update the sensation with it and not their other devices also

Ah righto
Yeah I think they will definitely update it, how long it might take is the real question. Will it be quick or not

f the Nexus S gets Ice Cream Sandwich, which it will, I'm pretty sure the Incredible S will get Ice Cream Sandwich since they have similar specs.

I wouldn't even think about Ice Cream Sandwhich when HTC hasn't even pushed out Gingerbread to all the Incredible S's.

only time will tell, HTC's gone slow.

If anything, HTC is faster than it used to be. I waited 8 months for a 2.1 update on my Hero from the first announcement to actual delivery. It's been less that half that for the IS.

Does anyone know if there has been any news about ICS and the IS?
I am hoping that the update might fix my random reboot problem I have with my IS

Even if HTC doesn't give official support for it (Ice Cream Sandwhich), 3rd party developers such as CyanogenMod would probably port it over. Since the Nexus S will surely get the OTA update, it's a good guess that the Incredible S would be able to run it as well.
My $0,02.

There is no way in hell we'll get ics, these phones were never designed to run anything over gb and sense 3.0. From what we've seen from our development teams it will be ported over from another handset providing that something with similar specs gets the update.

I dont understand why you would wait 8 months for HTC to release the update when you can get now?
HTC IS is still on 2.3.3 and why hasn't it been updated to 2.3.7?

I thought that the android updates were like the IOS ones where they added features and patched bugs. So you should be on the latest firmware?

It doesn't really work like that..
2. 3.7 was mostly about adding nfc chip capabilities

are you trying to jump infront of time with a time machine? even nexus prime hasn't been announced yet and now you're already wanting to know whether incredible s gets ICS.
take a chill pill, we'll all know when time comes.

I've been with HTC device since 2001 (my old Wallaby....), but I'm really annoyed by HTC behaviour: instead of releasing a phone once a week they should really take care and support their devices and their customer.
I became very lazy and I haven't yet installed a custom rom on my IS (yet), but thanx God, there are people like the CyanogenMod team that helps us keeping our devices up to date.
Thanx folks.
I do not think the problem is whether the device was designed for ICS or not. It's just too expensive to build, test and support all the devices they are putting into the market.
Regards,

I don't know why people are moaning so much, what other phones have official ICS right now? That's right, just one.
Have patience, HTC are one of the better companies with regards to updates. Samsung are terrible.

HTC Confirm IS will get android 4.0 update.

Just saw the news, share with everyone.
List:
* HTC Sensation (XL,XE,Original)
* HTC EVO 3D
* HTC Incredible S
* HTC Desire HD
* HTC Flyer
* HTC Rhyme
* HTC Desire S
And it said this will take 2-4 months of time.

source plz?

Are you serious? Must of these phones are not even dual core and ICS is optimized for multi-core devices.

They said almost any phone running gb could handle ics. The only real spec was a decent gpu

HTC announced this in Chinese language. I guess a English source will be found in next couple of days.
few extra:
HTC also said the most of the developing time will be spent on building the sense UI into new system. The newer devices retail later than 2011 MAY will get the update sooner than the older device like DHD. And some devices like HTC Amaze 4G,Thunderbolt, will get the update in much later time. (i think they mean more than 4 months)
This is a direct translation, sry for my baaaad english. i dont remember IS came out before or after MAY 2011?

Dude, ICS is optimized for multi-core phones because Gingerbread or Froyo do not use more than one core. There are certain apps and games out there that use all cores but that's another story.

There is no question that ICS will be on the Incredible S in one form or another (CM9 or AOSP) soon after the AOSP source is made available. The topic of this post is whether we will see an 'official' ICS version with Sense from HTC.

No ICS for us in the first wave

https://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/...pgrades-to-ice-cream-sandwi/10150518462703084
HTC knows how excited our fans are to get their hands on Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, so we're thrilled today to announce the first wave of HTC phones that will receive upgrades: We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in early 2012 to a variety of devices including the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G through close integration with our carrier partners. We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich.

Well, I would be happy with sense 3.0 and gingerb 2.3.5. for the time being. That should be here pretty soon according to Mr O'brian.
Hope we get it before christmas.

I'm not so sure about that too. All resources will go to ICS and newer models. We are done.
CM looks to be the only team supporting our phone

Are all of those phones dual-core?
My guess is that HTC was under some pressure to make an announcement since other manufacturers had made more definitive announcements. So HTC announced these phones would get ICS (which were the easy decisions) while giving themselves more time to think about their other phones. I would be suprised if one of HTC's single-core phones does not eventually get ICS.

No they won't drop us this soon...
I guarantee that much.

i won't be surprised if we don't get ics, officially, since the phone isn't too high on the htc totem pole.
if we are indeed on their radar for the upgrade, I think it will be much later, so don't hold your breath. remember, we don't even have gb 2.3.5 for this phone. why get your hopes up with ics?

I emailed HTC support team and asked if the incredible S is going to get updated in ICS they replied yes but they cannot confirm the exact date.

any news about it,or the release date

no date mate as far as I know... I think even htc don't know when they are going to release it haha I asked them by email last week and the answer was ''should be coming this month'' but as we know for htc ''this month'' means end of the month if not next month or next year really fed up of waiting and checking for this update which is going to be not a big deal anyway.We will only get sense 3.6 and some graphical changes.....everybody who had the normal sensation and sensation xe was so exited to get it and after the update so many people said that they are disappointed....anyway it will be coming soon I hope

Even the Sony and SGS 2 are getting it now.....really i think that will be my last HTC.....empty promises, bad new flagman's ....

No one said you was lying mate. All i said was i doubt HTC could squeeze ICS and sence 3.6 into 196mb when gingerbread and Sence 3.5 is 450mb+

don't know how did you get the update mate.I just had a email from htc and they told me that ICS is going to start rolling on the end of april and they roll it on batches so is going to take a bit of time untill everyone get it

Can't be true, I am on some spanish forums and nobody has it. Do a print screen or video of the phone menus.

This does not disprove updates are rolling out as we speak. Rather, it speaks of different times & rates of distribution. Tigre72 could actually be right ...

Android L discussion thread

from llabtoofer...
http://llabtoofer.com/2014/10/19/htc-android-5-0-lolipop-update/
So which devices will get it? Here the list that I can share for now. Please remember, it’s not final one, some devices are still under evaluation and there is high possibility that they won’t get update. With Android 5.0 Lollipop update, some “old” devices will receive Sense with EYE experience (not all features will be available on old devices)
HTC One (M8), HTC One (M7) are the first to get Android 5.0, timeframe for GPE is late November-December, for Sense based devices January-February.
HTC Desire EYE, HTC One (M8) Dual SIM, HTC One (M7) Dual SIM, HTC One (E8), HTC One (E8) Dual SIM, HTC Butterfly 2 should receive updates in January-March.
HTC One Mini 2, Desire 816 more likely to get updates in March-April
HTC One Max, HTC One Mini, HTC Butterfly S – March-May
Other devices from Desire line especially that are based on MTK processors are still under evaluation and I can’t say anything specific about them, as they are produced on ODM bases, so software development is mainly lay on ODMs…
That’s all for now, if you like this article, share it over social buttons below! Stay tuned!

Any info on ART vs Dalvik out there? I've read plenty and understand the difference, but haven't seen any actual comparison tests.

I'm gonna guess by end of year...wishful thinking
assuming L is officially released today, the 90 day clock begins, but I have a feeling HTC has already begun working on
