When do you think we will see a.official release.of ICS
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Sometime before 2013....if we're lucky. HTC hasn't announced anything other than "early" 2012. Which bares no designation, and since HTC is notorious for delivering updates months after they're originally slated.
My guess would be around March or April.

I am already impressed with the speed of updates on this phone. My last phone (HTC Desire on US Cellular) had only 1 update. It was launched in august 2010 and didn't get froyo until feb 8th 2011. No maintenance updates in between. The GSM version of the same phone in Europe got froyo when the US Cellular version launched.

Totally know the feeling. Didn't get too much love from Motorola on my droid 2.

Really hoping to have it by May, would be cool.
While I would enjoy ICS, I am really wanting S-OFF more than ICS for the benefits it would allow, such as updating the radio to truly work globally fully. I did get into HTC Elevate, so I'm watching that for further information.
I wanna guess by the summer.
Probably sometime near 2013...

I would say relatively soon... The leaks we have run pretty damn well if you ask me. Most of the problems are more minor bugs and some are due to the fact that we can't flash new firmware associated with ICS like radios

April 15 th, 2012!
Release
Since the White Sensation was just announced, and it is to be released with ICS on March 1st, I'd like to think that we would have it by the end of April.

Isn't that the same date someone posted two years ago for the OG Droid to get Froyo?
Just a date for general use, eh?
We should have a poll party for the update, will call it UPDATE POLL and there should be a prize.

Battery FIX Please!
The leaked versions of ICS have been pretty good. I just want them to fix the battery issue. Its a real pain in the ass!
We are dealing with Verizon...July 1st...I hope I'm wrong...

What # shipment was this into the US by HTC? This can't possibly be their first shipment into the US if their release date was the 18th for the Evo LTE.
If so, I don't know how they would have gotten off into the scheduled launch date anyways.
I was just about to post this. I have yet to go and reserve the new Evo, but was going to do so on Thursday. WTF Apple. Dirty move.
They must already have some in the country. And I bet they're at the sprint stores.

The US availability of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. The HTC One X and HTC Evo 4G LTE have been received enthusiastically by customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.

I was just thinking the same thing. There's no way they set up a launch date without securing some stock first?

I heard another strong rumor from another strong source that Sprint is giving consideration to cancelling ICS for 3D and offer an early end to contract as good-gesture solution. I think we can see where this is going, right? Early end of contract = full discount price on the next phone.
I don't want one of those LTE phones until the stupid service is available here in Oregon. Right now, I have tons of WiMax and if switch to LTE, I lose 4G!
Why are we putting up with this crap?!
source?
but i think its crap, desire hd etc got 4.0 too...so fare...
This can't be !!
Why would they do that when the Virgin Mobile version has ICS? It wouldn't bother me though since we have 3.6 and 4.0 (minus 4g) available here now but it sucks because my contract is up in July so I would not reap any of said benefits.
Would like to see a credible source on this rumor.

Rumors. People are too gullible these days.
To pick the other side of this, most people on this forum probably have or will get ics one way or another. So if sprint would give us an early out i would welcome that. You know, when you think about it, sprint has all but kicked us 3d owners out the door anyhow. Try and get a refurb replacement. It's pretty tough right now. I can see how it would save them a bunch of hassles by not doing the update. I love my 3d even more after putting myn's ics on it. If i had an early upgrade i would probably follow him to ss3 land.
I was going to wait for the official update to be released, but it just got tiresome. I like running stock-rooted ROMs, and who knows when Sprint will get their head out of their ass to get this done. I bought my EVO 4G LTE, and it's made me happy now.
I would actually love that, sorry guys.

Speaking of replacements I just got my e4gt yesterday as a replacement for my 3d and guys, I truly love this device! It's amazingly fast! And the superamoled is absolutely incredible! Seriously if u guys break ur phone or "lose" it lol, consider this device. I guarantee u will not be disappointed!

I really doubt that this will happen since HTC already confirmed we will get it, I love my 3D I don't consider the EVO LTE significant upgrade for me to give up my phone.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it ends up that we (Sprint 3d users) never see an official ICS but I can guarantee that there will be no "mass" early contract out to make up for that.... Doing so would open the door to a mass exodus from Sprint with no etf. This WILL NOT HAPPEN!

HTC has announced the 3d will get ICS but that means the 3d in general, the Sprint variant of the 3d has never been officially confirmed by anyone, neither HTC or Sprint. The update has to be officially requested to HTC by a carrier on a branded devices. It is entirely possible that Sprint may not do so. The only sure thing is that unbranded GSM 3ds will get ICS. Just sayin.....
I have already all but decided that this will be my last HTC device, if it does not receive the official update, it will also be my last Sprint device.

I got my replacement in 3 days. Best buy ftw. I wouldnt mind being able to upgrade. I would probably wait tho to see what they do with pittsburgh before getting an lte device. Not trying to not have 4g for the next two years.
I highly doubt this, but I do know that Sprint wants to rid themselves of the 3D

Hope so!
As long as there xda there will be jellybean. Look how long it took to get ics. I had ics on my htc sensation a entire year before htc released it.
So if you wait for official release you would be wasting your time if you have the evo. If you want fast updates without flashing roms stick with nexus devices
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium App
No doubt about it the phone is barely a month old and since 4.1 is looking more like an incremental upgrade I have a feeling it will spread much faster than ics did atleast to ics devices since it doesn't seem like HTC and other manufacturers will need to redo their skins. Just wonder what jellybean will bring to the table its still pretty much a mystery other than the nexus tablet
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Wow, I should hope so. I don't think it's if, but when. I'm sure it will drag out longer than any of us think it should.
Yes, but "how long" is the challenge.
It'd be nice if it were independent of carriers/OEMs given its #.1 so its not a major revision.

Definitely. I guesstimate it for September-November

Yes, but we won't get the new sense 4.6 upgrade, only 4.5 because of some random reason given by HTC to encourage us to purchase a new phone that doesn't have the same inadequacy of hardware
Yes but we probably will miss some features like the evo 4g missed on froyo coming from eclair , but will be ok
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
There is no doubt that EVO LTE will get Jelly Bean. However, I don't think it'll be til late next spring/early next summer.
Reasoning:
The original EVO 4G was released summer of 2010. It was given Gingerbread AFTER the release of the EVO 3D. I'm intentionally ignoring the FroYo update because it was the first EVO and HTC wanted to keep it current (aka keep it selling) to make the EVO name famous. Clever marketing.
The EVO 3D was released in summer of 2011. Now that the EVO LTE has been released, there's some ICS OTA stuff happening in Europe (meaning it's only a matter of time before the 3vo gets it's ICS).
Thus, the EVO LTE was released summer of 2012. Based on the pattern, the LTE will most likely get official JB after next year's EVO release (if there is one).
Just my thoughts

Doubt it cause Samsung is being aggressive about their push so they probably be agresive on updates too, international GS2 got ICS back in March so that was probably one of the earliest updates with only one device they could make it happen faster, so htc need to make sure they keep it up

The og evo was released with 2.1. Was the first non nexus phone to get 2.2 about a month later. Then got 2.3 a month before the 3d was released (ive owned all the evos since their release) 2.3 to 4.0 was a huge update, 4.0 to 4.1 is not. Im sure we will see 4.1 this year

Not sure. Since it's an incremental update, it could be like Honeycomb (mostly meant for tablets).
Is it possible Jelly Bean will have the linaro toolchain implemented?

We got leaks before the EVO 3D release, but we didn't get official until after. I remember, I was there lol.
I'm just going by the update schedule already in place, I could be wrong it seems more likely that Sprint wants to get the next big EVO out for people to buy rather than support the one that's out now.
Hello everyone, I need help deciding what cellphone from sprint to get upgraded to, since they told me that now is the time that I can qualify for an upgrade, Right now I have an evo 3d, and I love this phone, but I have noticed that everybody's jumping to the lte's phones, I was thinking on upgrading to the evo LTE, but after reading on many android forums it seems that not many people like it, so the same goes for samsung s3, unfortunately those are the only ones that I qualify for, I don't believe sprint has the note 2, but of all those 3, which one you guys would recommend, thanks in advance
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
If you "qualify" for an upgrade now, you will still qualify for it 2, 3, or even 6 months down the road.
Seems to me if you upgrade now, its just for the sake of upgrading. You said urself, u love the 3d. If there isn't a phone out there that excites u, then hold out until there is one that does...that is what I am doing.
