Don't know if this article is true or not....but yesterday when I checked for the update it was available and now when I checked no updates are available
Makes sense to me. Seems like the right thing to do.

It just amazing that they release an update that doesnt work... Nevertheless is weird that they tested it and then wait for people to complaint so they can suspended after releasing is like saying screw u people ... We deserve at leas a replacement of equal or greater value phone that works.. we r in a contract with them and completely sucks.. so i am running das bamf forever 1.1.6 with sense 3.0 and with a front camera fixed and a voicemail fixed and gingerbread so im happy now that developers not working for verizon and htc are awesome and better than them and they care about us and take care of us.. xda .. rootzwiki...

Can you think of any OTA update that wouldn't kill root?
All they would've had to do is check out the forums to realize the update wasn't ready.

Funny how the only update that has worked for the bolt is the one that turned off tether, I bet they tested the sh*t out of that. When I get new phone this POS is getting blown up on youtube.
I heard they pulled it and are incorporating "erishasnobattery's" voicemail notification fix

I don't think HTC tests. I could be wrong, but that leaves all of the blame of Verizon testing.
I don't think Verizon tests that thoroughly either tbh. They have too many existing phones receiving updates, as well as too many new phones coming out which need to be tested. Verizon is prob too busy testing the Vigor and Nexus Prime to be worried about our "old" Thunderbolt.

They used to test thoroughly. In the last year or so though, they have completely dropped the ball. I am guessing they changed their department for testers.

HTC surely tests their side of things but presumably hands it off to VZW. Whether VZW modifies the s/w or not, who knows. I would think it's up to VZW to check things like voicemail notifications though and not HTC's responsibility.
Here's a poof poof pass moment slap Verizon hands and just get it from HTC then Verizon can put the bloated ware on their app site for us to download if we want.This craming stuff down our throats is getting old .want voice mail notifications down load it.
Any other gotta have download it.
We paid a lot of money for something thats locked right out of the box.

If you look at the pdf it shows the update at about 52.5mb. I do believe that ICS will be much bigger. Also if you look at the pdf it shows Dec 2011 in all the pictures. So NO this is not about the ICS update but was for the Jan update.

I'm sure they will, they certainly can't release it with the way it is such a battery killer.
By the way, before somebody posts that my battery life went up to three weeks with the latest leak, save your breath -I don't believe it.
Been a frequent visitor to the Verizon page and this is the first time I seen that article. Could be wrong but I have a very good feeling that ICS is coming sooner then many on this forum thinks. I sure hope it does, coming from the Thunderbolt just a few weeks ago I have been holding off Unlocking the Bootloader and rooting this thing. This is the first phone I have bought that I have not rooted and flashed a Rom within just a few hours of buying it. This phone is a beast, love it.

Haha, exactly. Have seen several posts by what I would call fanboys talking about how awesome the ICS leak is and how they can go forever on their batteries, longer than on GB. Everytime I read one of those, I cringe. I think batt life with the display off is better but when display is on, the battery meter is a countdown timer, it flies!!

Yes, the Jan OTA update was 52.5 MB so that is definitely the update they are talking about.
I am running this software on my new replaced unit... nothing really to write home about.
Still waiting for ICS, then we will see changes.
Anyone know how to keep the software up to date if I am not with Verizon? With Motorola there is option for update software over WiFi,not ota, but with resound it appears that I need an active Verizon account to do so

Wait until the OTA is pushed and then someone will post a link to download the ruu tool to update it from a computer.
I'd be ironic if the "update" is that they are dropping the Rezound price to FREE with a new contract. With the way its been going recently, that announcement is probably not far off..

Sadly i agree. They sure want to shrug this device off, not good business practice.
I waited till April 6th and when I did not see any ICS OTA, I flashed Clean Rom ICS and I am happy with it. I don't know what difference the official upgrade will offer but I am not really excited about it anymore given that I am already running ICS with maybe more than what will be in the upgrade. I don't really care about sense 4.0 because I am running the DEV version of clean Rom with Apex launcher, which in my opinion is even better than Nova.
Was this what the page said before or is it like an updated page.

I was wondering the same thing. My other phones(Samsung Droid Charge, Moto RAZR) update just fine over Wi-Fi. The Rezound is my first HTC phone. It always wants to switch to 4G/3G when checking for updates. I assume this means it will not update to ICS over Wi-Fi. I'm not sure why they designed it this way.
My Rezound is currently being used as a Wi-Fi-only device. (i.e. no Verizon service) I do still have my Galaxy Nexus active on my VZW acct. I figured I can just pop the 4G LTE SIM card into the Rezound when they release the ICS. After it updates, I'll just take the SIM card out and put it back into the Galaxy Nexus. I have a SIM card adapter for this. (Rezound uses standard SIM and Galaxy Nexus uses micro-SIM cards)
Since I have both the Galaxy Nexus and Rezound.... I can't honestly say that I prefer ICS over Gingerbread. ICS has some cool features, but that's about it.... most of the stuff that I do on my Galaxy Nexus doesn't involve ICS-only features. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing my Rezound updated to ICS, just so both phones can operate in a similar fashion.
ICS Update Delay
Maybe HTC & Verizon had a change of heart (I tried not to choke while thinking that) and the have decided to include Sense 4.0 with the ICS OTA. Of Course I could win the lottery if I actually bought tickets too!
Seeing that there is a boatload of work to install this leak, I decided that its probably time to do homework instead of trying to play with my phone at 2AM.
However, I have noticed a lot of people saying that the release cannot be too far behind since the leak came out.
I'm a bit skeptical on this idea, because didn't a leak come out for the HTC Sensation ages ago? Now, I did not research much, but as far as I know (again, I may be wrong), the Sensation didn't have an official update either.
Its definitely not too far-fetched to think that the update might be delayed even further. HTC did promise that the updates would be early 2012 and as we all know, "early 2012" was a long time ago. Some said the updates would be during MWC, some said otherwise. What do you guys think?
As for development, this is definitely a very good sign as the interest and traffic for the HTC Amaze the past two days were quite phenomenal. The CM9 builds and Evervolv builds never really got anywhere for months. Do you guys think its worth downloading the leak now? Or would waiting be a better option? From what I heard, you have to re-root your device simply downloading the update.

There had been so many issues for me, such as getting S-Off to try and make things easier but there were errors for backing up.

The only htc sensation(the original one, not the xl) that doesn't have ics is the sensation 4G (T-mo version)
I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Tmo is sitting on the update to push sales for the One-S. Not that I am a marketing expert or anything, but so far the release seems very stable and I can't figure out why they are holding off on it

Yes and no is my uneducated opinion. I feel like they're update the firmware yet because the radio seems finicky. With s-off, I think that they'll just be able to update the firmware through hboot, but with s-on I think we'll need to go stock, download the update, then do the reroot process....I could be off, but in the end we'll still be ok for any updates either way.
I think that pushing One S sales definitely sounds likely.
Meanwhile, I just think T-Mobile is bad with updates and this sucks for the development community because it means less resources to help people. There are so many devices out there getting updates anyways. Its not like updating the Amaze is going to hurt their revenue either. Its just frustrating. I definitely advise against waiting for an update from T-Mobile. Definitely update now. There are already great ROMs that were made.

When HTC says that ics will be releasedn the June/July timeframe, I believe it will be released cliser to the end of July. Of course, I hope I am wrong.
Its just that I have had devices from HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and Asus. I can't think of one time that an update was released at the early end of a release window.
On every forum I have followed, people frequently threaten to never purchase another product made by a given manufacturer. Unless they are going to paper and pencil and smoke signals to communicate, I have a feeling they will be disappointed with whatever device they buy.
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending the slow release for updates. I would also say early 2012, means by April. If you majored in English, I will accept your correction.

Not sure if that is a bad thing or not. If Verizon is that nit-picky about bugs, then that just means that it should be a better release for all of us right? But then there is the problem of how long is too long for the tiny bugs.

agreed. so we know there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff, and verizon is most likely really anal about the bugs, so it doesn't surprise me what the guy said.
HTC promised us the ICS update by the end of July. Wrong again. Here we are in August and no ICS update. I think I am like most people and dont really care about the update itself so much as HTC releasing the source code so we can get serious modding done. Personally, I am running CleanROM and it works great. I wouldnt mind having a new CleanROM based on the offical ICS update, though, if it ever comes out.
Either way, I will NEVER buy another Verizon or HTC phone again. This was my first on both of them and it will be my last for sure. Soon as my 2 yr contract is up, I'm ditching Verizon.
Edit: Well, go figure. I post this and then the update comes out the next day. Mod, delete this whole thread at will, it serves no purpose now.

Dear Andrew S,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the Android 4.0 update. I understand that you are excited to receive the update for your HTC Rezound. I will be happy to share the information I have with you.
The ICS (Android 4.0) update will be released for the Rezound by the end of this month (July) with final pushes in August. Due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone. It’s almost here, Andrew! We are as excited as you are. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

Final pushes in August...besides that source is as reliable as the update list with a huge CONFIDENTIAL watermark on it lol

HTC doesn't really control this anyway. They give the updates to Verizon and Verizon pushes them. HTC can only report what VZW is telling them.
Am I the only one sick of these threads/posts? We have had ics forever and yet everyone is *****ing about an ota. Kernal source, blah blah blah. :banghead: We will get it when we get it, enjoy the roms we have.

HTC has had the update finished for a while now I'm sure. It's all just sitting in Verizon's desk under a stack up of new contract papers and hate mail somewhere.
It's not HTC its Verizon. Verizon has this new thing called the cloud that saves you emails and pic ect....... I know this because I had a htc Inc2 that received a update and it lost emails Facebook ect.....so Verizon offered me the rezound because they had no time line to fix it so thanks to Verizon cloud we don't have ics this is why htc keeps posting it on there web page its available . Htc is not the problem it will always be Verizon

Yeah the update is in queue. VZW is who decides when it goes out, so be mad at them, not HTC.

Isn't the point of having a forum like XDA, which has so many talented developers, that you don't have to wait if you don't want to? As about a billion people have posted on all these "waiting for OTA" threads have said, ICS for the Rezound is available RIGHT NOW for anyone that wants it - you don't even have to root - I'm new to the Rezound, but have been rooting phones with the help of XDA for years now - i have CHOSEN to wait for the OTA, knowing that at any time I can flash one of the great ROMS that have been put together with great care and support by some really smart people - it just seems odd that people who are on a forum dedicated to NOT WAITING for manufacturers to get their act together will post repeatedly about how upset they are about having to wait -

Excellent point, will still need them to officially release ICS so in turn they have to release the ICS kernel source code also then the devs can do even more great work.

What does this mean for the DNA scene? Does it increase our chances at finding a post-OTA unlock method, or is it more useful for ROM/custom feature development purposes?

From what I gather it's possible, though not likely there is an exploit for post OTA unlock in the source. It will help development in that 2.04 ROMS such as Viper1.2 will soon have compatible custom kernels whenever the developers of their respective kernels update them.
I suppose there can be other possible benefits but I have not heard anyone mention them.
Kernel source won't help bootloader unlock.

For some reason one guy essentially spammed every thread he could find saying that somehow kernel source=bootloader unlock, but that is completely untrue.

Dang. I was hoping this would be true.
My wife's dna took a swim. Had to cash out her another. (crossed fingers for non ota) but I lost.
She wanted dna even after I warned her it was probably unrootable. She said Dna. Well a few days later she is yelling @ me to fix this garbage lol.
Crud. Looks like jtag. Is in her future

Garbage I would probably love my DNA even stock. I would just have an itch to tinker with it because that's who I am... but if she isn't the one tinkering, I don't see what her problem is

I guess she is used to stellar battery life, not having all the bloat, being over clocked and fast as all get out on Viper rom.
The area she works gets better signal with old radio's while I get better with new radio's??
No wife tether
Missing a few root only apps, missing data since she can't restore.
Look don't take offense. This phone is great, but when you get used to certain things is hard to go back.
That's all

lol No offense at all. Just most women don't desire their phones to be tinkered with, at least from what I've seen. I had to spend a long minute convincing my girlfriend to tinker with hers

Unfortunately mine uses her phone, a One X+, for work [and it was given to her by her company] so unless it becomes unusable, I don't get to play with it

Wait a minute, your wife wants you to root her DNA so you can put a "wife tether" on it?
