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

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...

A lot of speculation about it.. Supposedly third quarter of 2012 according to offical releases. Assuming you mean official release, if not we already have CM9/MIUI/AOKP all ICS based roms. Here is some reading for you about it

Hello,
While some do not believe it will see the light of day due to the Photon being EOL, I truly believe we will see the Update as it has been announced. I am honestly more concerned about whether or not Sprint is going to release a Motorola LTE Android Handset. While I can upgrade as of next Month (last Sprint Premier Annual Upgrade), I am planning on waiting it out until an ideally Motorola Quad Core LTE Handset is released. If not that, I will sadly get the iPhone 5, but I really do not want it to come to that. Definitely not getting the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Cheers,
JJ

Sprint Premier customers who would've become eligible this year have one more upgrade even though the program is gone. Expires at the end of the year IIRC.

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.
I saw today in the Rezound threads that HTC released the kernel source for the original kernel for the EVO 4G LTE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769335
Since the EVO 3d with ICS was released on Virgin Mobile around the same time, I wonder if the kernel source for the VM 3d will be released soon. I'm already feeling miffed that the "June-July" timeframe for the OTA from Sprint is turning out to be late July. It's like when the cable company says they will be there from 12 to 5 and show up at 4:59 (or later). Hopefully it will come soon so our talented devs can get their hands on it.
Lol, wishful thinking. I have completely given up on HTC at this point. I don't expect an official ics build for sprint anytime soon if not ever, and same goes for source code for rom or kernel. They have lost me as a customer after all this. I'll be waiting for the next nexus device.

Really is sad. This is the forgotten phone for them I swear. There is no excuse for us to not have had a source release if HTC is so willing to release it for the 4G LTE. None at all.
If HTC doesn't get there crap together they will go out of business. Has anybody looked at their stocks over the last year? Today its worth less than half of what it was last year. Hopefully they wake up to take care of business soon enough

International version on Oct. 22nd, Carrier versions aprox. 1-2 month after that.
I read online last night that the One VX (or whatever it is) and the new Windows 8 devices will be out for ATT in November. I really don't see why the X+ wouldn't come out around or AT the same time. My upgrade is in November and after getting my Vivid I am very anxiously waiting for the upgrade and that phone to come out.

I think there is at least an attempt to give one Android update. If you are lucky you get 2. What I mean is aside from security or "fix" updates you will get an Android level update. For instance the Thunderbolt, shipped with 2.2, got an update to 2.3, was lucky to get one to 4.0. Rezound, shipped with 2.3, got an update to 4.0. Now the DNA, shipped with 4.1, should get a 4.2 update. Doubtful it will get a 4.3 (or 5.0) update, but possible. This is just from my experience and observations.

I think HTC will make 2 updates for the GLOBAL DNA phone and possibly one for Verizon, but Verizon will only officially put out 1 update IMO. They won't sink any more $$ into the DNA. But that doesn't matter since as long as the GLOBAL version exists, Verizon users will get theirs. After Moonshine, how can we not believe our DEV can do anything. The only thing that would hurt this phone is if Beaups leaves the DNA community. I've seen where just one strong dev left the community for my phone and the phone support practically all but dried up. He seems to be the king of the DNA. As long as he supports it, we'll be fine.

Beaups doesn't develop ROMs. If he left there would be no difference as far as that goes.

Somewhat related question. I recently moonshined and now have all the s-off goodness that comes along with it (still on stock ROM minus bloat). Question is, when Verizon starts pushing the next software update, do I need to worry about my phone trying to accept it? Does the customized hboot preclude us moonshiners from getting the update?

Do you have a custom recovery installed. At the least I believe (and its been a while since I go an update on the phone with a custom recovery) that the recovery will not automatically install it. But I think there should be something you can freeze or remove that would prevent the OTA.
The HTC rep I talked to yesterday claimed thatthe DNA is HTCs favorite device. Even more favored than the One. He also claimed that the DNA, for that reason, will be supported with various updates for years to come....carrier permitting.

He was trying to make you feel better by saying so. From VZ track records, we'll be lucky to see Sense 5 by the end of the year if HTC releases it in the next 3 months.
There's no reason it shouldn't get updated. It's still quite new, and hardware is top notch. Now when? Who frigging knows! Verizon hates it's customers.
Sent from my DNA all in ya mouf
It does have the hardware and specs. Take Verizon out of the picture and this phone would already be on sense 5 (maybe not 4.2.2 yet). I think once the HTC One drops on Verizon it won't be long before the DNA gets it. Kinda funny Verizon is the last major carrier to get the HTC One and S4. They gotta get their dirty little fingers in there first, just so beaups, adamoutler and crew tell them to suck it.
Honestly, the ONLY thing I like about Verizon is there data speeds. Other wise I'd never of jumped ship from sprint.

Let's get the facts straight, it was just shy of 2 years from the phone getting introduced that it got ICS (Intro March 2011, ICS Feb 2013). Yes it was after the phone was EOL, but at least they did it.

Yep, that was exactly my point. We might not see a TIMELY update, but I am sure we will see one eventually.
TBH, if one is running the stock ROM, they are so far from stock Android it isn't funny anyways. I actually prefer Sense 4+ to Sense 5, HATE how they took away the animated lockscreen weather.
