I really love my phone, but really want new updates and so on and we all know all the attention goes to the HTC One :/ . Therefore, I contacted some official HTC accounts on Twitter (HTC, HTC USA, HTC India and etc.). I finlly got an answer from the Russian HTC account . I'll have a screenshot below just for prood. It's in Russian so I'll translate. I asked "Others aren't helping may you please tell me when the Butterfly S will be getting Android 4.4?" they answered "Unfortunately we can't tell that. But according to the timing announced for other countries the update isn't oming soon.". I don't really know what that timing thing, but hey! We're gonna get KitKat sooner or later
where do you read in those line the Butterfly S is getting 4.4?
all i read is "can't tell" and "isn't coming soon"

Two negatives is a positive.
Well they didn't say that the update won't be released it's just not going to be in the nearest future. Next year's January or something maybe?

Lets get 4.3 first and then we can worry about 4.4.........

m8 outed
The m8 has been outed by a UK judge and apart from the snapdragon 800 processor and aluminum shell, it's expected to be the same as our devices. So it looks like we can hold on to our babies a little bit longer.
i still wait to get kitkat with sense
Well the Droid DNA has been updated with 4.2.2 recently and HTC said that 4.4 will be comming on Q1 of the year. So I expect our device will follow the DNA by giving us 4.3 first and 4.4 next year.

I don't thinks so, to tell the truth. April is a bit too late for our device don't you think? But hey, it's HTC, you can't tell

Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using xda app-developers app
Honestly it isn't surprising that our device will get updates but the prediction before was either we're getting 4.3 or 4.4. If KitKat is comming, I expect similar timelines with the Droid DNA, so maybe Q1 next year.

I jus don't like the idea of them comparing us to the DNA so it makes u wonder if they mean the older butterfly

Hey guys,
Thanks to Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo we now have a full system+recovery dump of the Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich.
http://android.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/04-nov-icl23d-galaxy-nexus-boot-recovery-r51
This is really cool.
Wow, hopefully now developers can create ICS inspired custom roms. Cheers!
there's like 10 of these over at the dhd section lol
No ... This is a system dump from the phone ... Not an SDK dump ... This good ...

Where did you hear this?
These are the files you need to port a device. They need to be altered severely to run on the incs. Extreme development knowledge is needed to make use of this. However a developer could grab bits and pieces from it if they have greater knowledge in one area than another.
The ics update will be coming to this and many other htc devices as stated yesterday to myself in a bell store by an htc rep.

but it won't come anytime this year, probably end of Q1 or Q2 2012.

You guys are reading into this way too much.
All they did was give a few obvious ones that would get the upgrade. They never said the rest of their products weren't.

Let me quote myself:
"Right now[...]"
You see? I'm talking about what they've said so far, but what'll happen in the future; sorry, I can't tell and therefore I won't do anything else then hope that HTC will give us an official update to 4.0.
But from what Google said when they showed 4.0, I think that it'll come to the IncS. Sometime.
And to your last part; no, they didn't.
"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."
From the same link that I linked in my previous post. So, I'm fully aware of the fact that this only seems to be a preliminary statement from HTC.
hey guys , just had a look on a vodafone blog and they are rolling out updates tomorrow for a few of their phones including a couple HTC phones. im hoping this means we could get a update for our IncS in the next couple days

Sounds like HTC had actually rolled out the ICS build and now it depends on the carriers or 3rd parties to release them.

update: they 'dont have a schedule' on there end.
The HTC ONE is s-on for now..
But any ideas, if it will get s-off anytime?
Because the developer version is s-on too.. I heard devs like koush ( from rom manager ) wanted to maintain the device for CM.. but they are not sure about the s-off status.. what is your take on this?
Shall we write to @htcusa @htc and @htcdev about this?
Thanks!
most qualcomm devices will get s-off
I thought the Dev Version was already S-off? Damn.
But since it's a qualcomm device, and a phone that is sort of a "MUST HACK" device for devs and a "MUST HAVE" device for consumers, then I believe S-off for the One wouldn't take too long Just my 2 cents..

The battery life of the One X at launch was PURELY just software, these days most of us get more than 4.5+ hours of screen on, even my S3 couldn't achieve that, lol.
Anyways, going back on topic, I think I read somewhere that the One already has S-off! I'm not sure if it was a dream or if it really was true but I'll do my best to find it again.

We have Sense 5, but not 4.3. We are supposed to get 4.3 with a few updates to Sense 5, and then a month or two later Sense 5.5.
Thread title should say:
4.3 started dropping tonight For DEV ED............. Since this is the sprint forum and title misleads many.
Surprised mods didn't lock down 4.3 chatter to one thread yet. It's A bit ridiculous although I understand the excitement and those anxiously waiting!

I feel like the title is click bait. This is a Sprint forum, so the title plus the forum it is in implies it is released for Sprint.

i is a bit disappointing but that's what i wanted them to do. I see so many comments when the Butterfly s was announced "this is why i will not buy another HTC, they dilute their flagships..." even more than people complaining about no removable battery...
An Asia-only device like this will get priority after the One.
