So does anyone have any sort of idea as to when we will get an OTA update to ICS. I read a post from HTC on Facebook that this was supposed to be in the beginning of 2012, but nothing more definitive than that other than it was coming to the E3D for sure. Do any of you guys have more up to date information? I like the dev-ports of ICS, but a solid, factory issued update would rock!
My guess would be May or June 2012.

There said 1st quarter of 2012 so..between January and March.

my vote is sometime before summer....July at the latest
I know that currently the only thing holding back ICS for the 3D is the drivers. I can't remember where I read it, but I think I remember seeing the end of December for that. Aside from that I think they just need to prepare everything for supporting the OS, like documentation for example.
So I would think we should see it earlier in q1 than later but if anything takes longer than they expected it will delay the whole thing.
I'll say March.. Hopefully cm9 will be much sooner... Hopefully

CM9 should be sooner. If I remember correctly, Toast has most everything working with the exception of WiMax and some variations of hardware acceleration.
The title of this thread is very misleading. My heart skipped a beat, that's for sure.
they might say Q1 but getting getting everything perfect and pushed out to everyone might take longer. i'm betting summer of 2012.

They already stated they are having to think about how their Sense is going to mesh with the new OS ICS and how to go forward with it, and possibly change Sense too. This alone will be the big hurdle HTC faces and would be the major factor in the time of when we get an OTA from them. imho
If they were gonna just push out ICS on our phones in vanilla form wed have it any sec now, but the whole sense thing causes conflict with that since ICS incorporates few sense features in it now.
cm9 will soon....
I want vanilla Ics personally.

Moving to Q&A
I'm much more interested in ShooterU update rather than Shooter. I hope they will release updates for both versions at the same time.
And, btw, I have a little question: what's the version of the latest update for CDMA version? I mean, HTC skipped Sense 3.5 update for GSM, I'm just interested what about CDMA.

Sorry man, I didn't mean to get your hopes up. I just wanted to get some ideas. I upgraded to the E3D from the E4G for 3 reasons:
- 1.2 GHz dual core Snapdragon
- 1 GB Internal Storage
- Official ICS update for E3D not for E4G
That had me sold. Had to upgrade my plan to a family plan and add another line just to get it without paying an arm and a leg. And dang it, I want my money's worth on this one!! Lol!!

As far as I know, we have Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0 as our latest. We didn't get Sense 3.5 which is why WiMAX doesn't work on any of the dev-ports. Sprint has not released a phone with Sense 3.5 so we can't get WiMAX keys for a 3.5 ROM.
I heard from my hair stylist that her brother heard from his friend's sister that a Sprint employee told her cousin that we will get it on January 1, 2012. I think this is reliable.
I think March is too soon. I think may is more likely.

Why do you feel like that? Google already promised that every phone that is hardware capable would receive updates for at least 18 months after its release. The evo got froyo AND gingerbread. Don't fret. We'll be one of the first.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It will. HTC and other OEMs made a pledge to google that they will update their phones to the latest android version for a span of 1 1/2 years from first release. and the evo started from GB, it should at least receive 1 major android update.

besides the nexus familia didnt the evo 4g get 2.3 before everyone else?
Nope, the Droid X had 2.3, updated before the 4G. And I think there was another
Don't expect ICS quickly, cm9 will be out before sprint gives it to us, and expect a heavy taste of sense added, so much so that it won't feel like ICS. And don't expect sense 3.5 either

haha cm9 out b4 the 3D gets ICS? u are truely nuts. it took a few months to port stable functioning CM GB to phones once the code was released. You might get a "base" in a couple weeks after the code is released but unless you want a 3D with hardly anything working I bet HTC/Sprint push ICS to it before CM9 arrives to it.

didn't the evo have cm6 on it before though? the initial port over will always take the longest and with the current state of the 3D's port id venture to say you cna forget about ICS till that starts getting better, less you like the current bug state of cm7 on the 3D. to each their own though, I just can't take that many bugs, not worth it to me.
toast does some crazy magical things so its possible he might be brewing a big 'ol fix all update here. If thats the case I would say it might be possible to see cm9 before sprint but till then i doubt it.

Stop calling it a port, its not. Supported CM roms are build from the ground up so to speak. Moreover, I think we all agree your completely insane if you think were gunna get ICS from Sprint/HTC before CM.

Ill eat my words if it comes true. A better comparison would be if we got FroYo2.2 from htc/sprint on the Evo4G before we got CM6. That was the first OS update since the device was released. 2.2 code was released end of June'10 i think and we got official sprint/htc update to 2.2 end of july '10. CM6 didn't have the first nightly builds publically till the same time.
what it really comes down to is what you consider "having CM9 on evo3d." to me that is a sound RC build and not alpha builds like we have now, and I am willing to go out on a limb and say sprint/htc get it out before CM, just based on current state of CM7.
but like i said before toast is a genius and anything is possible with that guy behind it.
it was just announced. we'll get it soon enough. just relax. we need to focus on getting around that damn HBOOT 1.5 a little better fist IMO.
Earlier today, Dan Morrill of the Android Team posted a message to the Android Building Google group updating the status of code availability due to recent server downtime.
“We plan to release the source for the recently-announced Ice Cream Sandwich soon, once its available on devices.”

that could be months away before you even hear about an official release from them. i think our dev's here have a better shot at getting a fully functional rom out (as far as a timeframe goes)

dude they have always done this. it will be pushed to AOSP the day of or after the phone is released. just like with FroYo and Gingerbread. Honeycomb is the only exception to the rule.
So yeah depending on your defn of soon, itll be out in November once the actual phone is released. NOT a moment before though b/c thats not how they do things.

HTC via facebook
Since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this week, HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. We're a recognized industry leader in providing fast and consistent upgrades to our Android devices (see what Engadget had to say about our upgrades: http://engt.co/qMb9nQ), and Ice Cream Sandwich will be no different.
Upgrades require a careful balance of hardware and software to ensure the best possible performance and usability, so please stay tuned as we assess our product portfolio. Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!
Thanks!

As far as custom ROMs go, we're close to getting a bootable ICS sdk port and when source drops, we should have a stable (no 4G, sound, camera, 3D, etc.) ICS ROM weeks after.
Cyanogenmod 9 alphas should also be here around a month or two after the source drops.
But as far as an HTC update goes, I think we'll be seeing it in February-March.

Bootable SDK port is not at all what I was talking about. That's gonna be a butchered up mess...
I agree with you about CM9 alpha builds.. but that goes along with what I said about not getting it this year. The source won't drop until the Galaxy Nexus is released..which is in November.
I don't really see how you can call a rom with no sound, camera, 4G, 3D stable tho lol. It likely will have MMS issues as well. That isn't at all stable.
So yea, don't expect anything ICS flavored this year other than something you can boot up and play around with, then wipe off when you actually need your phone =p
I'm ok with it tho, I would like it ASAP but I understand it takes time... and I'm not into flashing anything that's ..well, butchered.
I think the real concern will be how much HTC killsoff the look and feel of ICS with Sense.

You and me both. I'd like to see them go the *gasp* Samsung route and just leave the vanilla android icons and such. Tone Sense waaay down and just concentrate on other ways to make it better.
As much as I don't see them leaving it very vanilla, at some point they are going to have to realize that people are getting tired of Sense and change it up.

A month and a half is plenty of time to get ICS running. Distros like CyanogenMod are already set up to merge changes that it will bring. I'm too lazy to keep searching for it, but Cyanogen has publicly said that they're prepped for the changes

It took longer than 1.5 months for GB, You MIGHT get an alpha but I doubt it. There are 2 major holidays left that are going to impact development, and we don't even have cm7 on our 3Ds yet aside from an alpha.
We can debate it but none of us really know. I'm just making a guess based on past experiences. I'm fine with it regardless tho, ICS looks nice visually, but, that's about all I care about in the new android 4.0. The last android update I wanted was 2.2, since then they have been kinda meh
After talking with a sprint rep, he told me that the update should be Next week or the week after that. At the latest Early July. Not trying to throw any false statements out there so that was what I understood and if the Sprint Rep was telling the truth. I'm guessing we will get the OTA in about a week or two..
Many of you are asking : why do we care? We have the leak.
Well you answered your question. it is a LEAK. Plus, its most likely (hopefully) that they'll release the source code a few days or a week after the ota. We can use that to create stable kernels or even get 3D & 4G working on Sense 4 roms.
I know that there are going to be people flaming at me for not including a source. So I am posting this at caution. Maybe next time I'll record the conversation (Sarcasm)

I don't understand why you're implying it's bad because it's a leak? Most roms are based off a production ruu. Just because someone got it early doesn't make it incomplete or bad. How different do you think the code is going to be? Minimal.

I for 1 have noticed some things that should be worked on. I've had weaker signal, slower Internet, and issues of not being able to receive texts in some situations since flashing a rom based on the leak. Plus there is a bug with the front camera. If the leak didn't have issues, wouldn't be officially released by now?

Exactly. It's pretty obvious that the Sprint rep was just speculating. Anyone can pretty much guess that it will be sometime around July.
And to everyone complaining about the leak being unstable, I doubt any changes will be made from that and our OTA except the VM stuff. Also, I've had 0 issues so far running the stock leak.

one of these threads again.... let's see, 3D still has not had an "official" sprint release....
LTE..... will not see an OS overhaul for a long time. There will be tons of little bug fixes, radio updates here and there, blah blah... little stuffz. then maybe early next year you will see something big. After sprint is done trying to sell the phone..
no way we'll have an official JB OTA by end of year! put me down for next yr
The reason the 3d hasn't gotten it yet was because sprint wants us to buy the latest and greatest. Considering the evo 4g lte is the latest and greatest just like the og evo was. Froyo was announced at google i/o 2010 and we got the froyo update in July 2010. Jellybean is/was announced at i/o 2012. I wouldn't be surprised it we got the update in July/august.

logical argument, for sure.
so i guess the variable could be if another device is released before that update comes? or even if they are planning on releasing another device, and if said device influences price of LTE evo....
that will probably determine a jelly bean update.
EDIT*** you need to remember one key thing when analyzing this kind of ****, especially with sprint..... whichever option will make them the most $$$$ that is the action you will see with updates. period.

Thank y'all for seeing what I see! With ics anounced in octoberish sprint had to think that hey we can delay the update and release a better phone and make more cash. Since jellybean is being announced now it makes perfect sense for them to release an update fast
I was going to make a guess, but then realized how many highly unpredictable variables are in play. Sprint and HTC can bring this out sooner or way later, it all depends on how they manage the projects.

one of these threads again.... let's see, 3D still has not had an "official" sprint release....
LTE..... will not see an OS overhaul for a long time. There will be tons of little bug fixes, radio updates here and there, blah blah... little stuffz. then maybe early next year you will see something big. After sprint is done trying to sell the phone..

We may never know. Maybe Moto could push the upgrade to 2013 so we will never get it because 2012-the end of the world is coming! Lol.

I think Moto will stick to the timeline they have posted. ICS has been in development for the Photon for a while now and from all I have read with the re-structuring of Moto Mobility it seems they are pushing to get devices on the latest Android releases. Sounds to me like Google wants Moto to get on an update schedule similar to what the Nexus devices are on. This should not be a problem with Moto not having to support so many devices in the future.
I do hope that if/when ICS does come to the Photon it is a better release than what other manufacturers have pushed out. Everyone I have heard from that has gotten ICS hates it and wants GB back. Of course the best bet is to wait until our developers get the proper drivers and incorporate the missing pieces into custom roms and run those.
Only thing I'm worried about is a permalocked boot loader ICS

Well....I think it is a good sign that the Photon Q is coming with an unlocked bootloader option right out of the box. At least that is what the Sprint guy in here posted.
Samsung Captivate Glide (same Tegra 2 chip) got its ICS leak.

Maybe our devs will manage to pull drivers and other crap from that release?

I would PM Joker or Th3Bill with that link, just in case they missed it.
i don't care whether we get the official ICS, or even the drivers from another phone as long as the drivers are taken, and can be used towards all of the problems with the custom ICS and JB roms i will be happy. Hopefully if we cant get drivers from another phone the official ICS will get rolled out soon.
This is a seriously dead topic that's been discussed over and over and over again. 12 months in a year, 4 quarters in a year. 12 divided by 4 is 3. Each quarter is three months long. Q3 ends with September. Q4 begins with October. Atrix ICS before end of September. Photon ICS before end of December. Atrix and photon = same hardware. Meaning, our jb and ICS ROMs will be perfectly stable shortly after the atrix ICS gets released.
^^^^^^
i was just about to say. Q4 starts in october
captivate ics wont really change terribly much. look at the xoom ics or even gtab 10.1. all used diff camera sensors/wrappers so sure the chipset is the same.. but the crap that is needed for stable isnt :/
unless something has drastically changed since the last time i talked to joker the camera was the last big hurdle?

So if i would have left out that first sentence I wouldn't be an ass? It was a factual statement, not a shot at you. I see you actively contributing around here quite often, I was surprised that a regular such as yourself would start a thread posing a question in which there are many other threads that have the answer. A little reading wouldn't hurt is all im saying.

actually i read a discussion somewhere, they are not the same, cos tablets are based on Harmony board (tegra 250 T20), and mobiles on Ventana (tegra 250 AP20H) and some crappy little difference between them didnt let the devs do that.

Those tablets use a different type of Tegra 2, that's why. Photon/ Atrix= AP20H, Xoom/ Galaxy Tabs= T20. The captivate uses the same chip set as these Moto Tegra devices. People from the Atrix forums have started looking into the captivate leaks for anything, just be patient and wait for the news
Sent from my undervolted, underclocked, power saving Motorola Atrix.
understandable that its the same tegra chipset but that doesnt mean its the same camera module. this is a different manufacturer we are talking about (samsung at that so it actually has a decent camera unlike moto)
Unless you're stuck with a locked bootloader or fortunate enough to be in a WiMax market, head over to the developer's forum and load one of the many ICS or JB based ROMs. Joker's CM10 based ROM is as stable or better of an experience than I ever had with factory.
