So I just saw this:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.
I wonder if HTC leaked that purposely to test people or if it will change again.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks again to the leaker at tmo.
Thank you for choosing to force integrity down the throat of the sleazbags in the marketing department...
Thank you for pulling out the rug from under the self aggrandising pompus fool executives who think that they can twist the arm of their elite level customers..
To the the executives that may be reading this.. Above is the list of people to fire.. Unceremoniously and with a grand parade, wander them around the office as an example of douchebags using and idea older than moses and calling it innovative.. Rather than the insult to customers it truly is

It does not, the ics available for the t989 is from a leak from the skyrocket. Due to that there was issues with rotation which were fixed but there is still missing features like wifi calling, and a kernel to develop cm9 etc from that.

I asked HTC, they told me....
We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our smartphones and will have more to share very soon. For all of our latest ICS news stay tuned to our blog: http://bit.ly/yTJiXX
Not date yet. We'll let you know if we learn more.
I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

These two tie in together. HTC wants to nail down an update schedule that the One S will have ICS for a while, gathering in sales, while the other phones will have to wait. Also, T-Mobile stores list our phone as 1.5 ghz dual-core, they don't really specify that it's produced by Snapdragon or that it is an S3. Clearly, it would look bad that the One S and the Amaze have the same specs in a simpler manner, without going into specifics.
Some of you folks act like your phone is broke or completely ancient because it isn't rocking the current OS.
There is a leak for ICS, so what is the problem? If you want it so bad, download it and be on your merrily happy way. If not, go spend monies you probably don't have on a device that runs on it. Complaining over and over on something you can't control is beyond rhetorical.
Not like T-Mobile has ever been fast with the updates. This is nothing new......be glad if it comes out in June.

I agree just look around your own family. How many of them just want something pretty that's makes calls not everyone cares about all the bells and whistles.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
My Amaze (bought in December) has multiple issues that have not been resolved on three separate handsets, and half a dozen factory resets. I'm not "whining" about not getting ICS sooner, I'm whining about not getting FIXES after way too long a wait.
The last word I've heard was, "we're working on a fix," "HTC is aware of the problem," while I continue to wait, and wait, and wait. Like the poor refugees in CASABLANCA
I'm willing to wait longer for solid fixes, and (crosses fingers) a replacement of Sense 3.0 with the much-improved 4.0. Frankly, I've gotten tired of factory resets and handset replacements that flush my progress and scores from games that I've paid for. It's not a requirement that my games are intact on a phone, but jeez, it got old after 12 weeks of ownership of this top-tier phone to be told, "don't install any apps, just use the phone as shipped."
I just feel that I've been made to wait through serial postponements while HTC and T-Mobile trumpet a newer, slightly better line of phones. Clearly, people who've already bought an HTC don't get as much respect or thought than the new customers out there. S'okay, if the ICS update arrives and doesn't fix the problems, I'll know what to do. Root, flash, or flip and get another brand. T'is a pity that modern manufacturers would rather disappoint their established customers while trying to attract new customers. It's a model that has destroyed many companies in the past.

While this is bad news for us, how many people are actually going to be able to sit back and not run to the store to purchase this phone the day it is released.
If enough people had the will power to stay away maybe it would send a message to HTC, but I don't think we have that kind of will power. To add to that, I believe the EVO and now the EVO 3d sell extrememly well to people who have no idea what rooting even means and just enjoy the phone for what it is.
I still think we are in the minority when it comes to these things.....So the sales numbers will let HTC know if this has any effect on it but I say the EVO 3d still sells strong.
Won't be for long lol someone will get in and do all sorts of good.

Meh, I've noticed recently that stock seems to perform better than most/all custom ROMs anyway. Perhaps this way I'll spend less time messing around with my phone... As long as I can get partial root to remove bloatware I'll be fine and I'm confident this wont be an issue.
On another note, I think this statement is BS: "It seems HTC has finally caved to what are likely the security demands of wireless carriers with its newest phones, and is locking down its handsets Moto-style..."
It has yet to be confirmed that bootloaders are being locked at the request of carriers. The argument against tethering is invalid because full root is not required to run root access wireless tethering apps. I think this is solely the decision of manufacturers- why they are making this decision, I don't know...

I agree 100%, but this doesn't change the fact that htc is telling an entire committed of supportive (and vocal) customers to go stick it unnecessarily. While they don't care if they lose my business, I am disappointed in them and will likely end up going with another manufacturer.

If its anything like the droids - you'll eventual have root if theres a exploit but full custom kernels are thrown out the window, so are full custom roms. All you'll have is minor superficial modifications to the official ROM. That means that you'll only taste a new version of Android if HTC/Sprint officially releases it for the 3D. That also means no CM, no MIUI, no ported ROMs.

I have been reading the nexus forums, and I just have to LOL.
I seem to remember a ton of people saying "why buy the rezound when the 'superior' google nexus is right around the corner.
seems like they are having issues with screen banding, the phone is very slick and hard to hold. Many people are having battery life issues. The browser is hard to use, there is a volume issue that automatically turns off the volume. It gets hot while using. etc.
just goes to show that every phone has "issues", and you have to pick your poison.
im SO GLAD to be with you guys and on the rezound and when we get ICS the nexus people will be jumping ship
Thats wht they get. That phone is too big for me anyway. I got the rezound soon after release after waiting for months. Like u said pick your poison. The only issue ive had was for some reason the phone decided not to boot up n i hd to do a factory reset. But its bn ok e er since besides the usual htc incredible glitches which i am used to. The size is borderline too big for me but im loving this phone. Cant wait for ICS upgrade

So far I'm happy with the Rezound, although I wish the battery was better. I'm used to my Galaxy S lasting almost 2 days.

That's the Good thing about Nexus phones, as soon as their is a problem it gets resolved fast.
Btw the volume bug is only on GSM phones in the UK using 900mhz band or something like that. Wouldn't affect Verizon CDMA version.

Exactly my point. This is a "ha ha" post to the people who said the rezound was a pointless buy with the nexus coming out.
Basicly saying every aspect of the nexus was better than the rezound. And now it seems as the playing field has been leveled.
I will have no problem returning the rezound for the nexus nothing aganist this device it feels well built and a decent phone. i do not like sense and a little unsure about how the rooting process goes for htc.

You do know that the Verizon Nexus is going to be bloated as well right? I wouldn't be surprised if they forced Google to lock the bootloader too. It's pretty easy to root HTC phones once S-Off has been achieved. S-off has been achieved apparently, now we're just waiting for proof.
I am on the fence with what to do. The rezound has surprised me and is better than I thought it would be. Will have to see the nexus first. It will probably have better dev support due to the gsm version. And official ROM updates should be more timely than HTC is.

There is usually a product cycle to the big contender phones. Just like every summer, a new EVO is released. You'll find other phones released between these times. But, you never know. They're already developing superphones that are faster than the EVO 4G LTE.
There might be a new Nexus phone announced at Google I/O next week. iPhone 5 in the fall, and probably another round of Android superphones for the holiday season, probably once Samsung/TI/Nvidia launch an LTE baseband that will work with their SoCs.
Well the latest rumors are that Jellybean will be released next week at Google I/O. You can get the new S3 or EVO but if you plan to see Android 4.1 on it anytime soon you are probably in for disappointment. I'd get a Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus line which should have similar hardware to the latest super phones.

Cool thanks for the responses. Good discussion.
I am anxious to see the new gnex, but I'm thinking it wont have a large enough screen (even tho the specs will be good enough). Other words, I don't think it will be "better" than the S3 per se, other than getting jellybean/pure android...but never know....
Lastly, the responses to this are actually "grown up" for once - you guys were spot on. Thing is, I was expecting much worse reactions as the question could have drawn out all types of trolls.
Hopefully XDA has turned a corner recently...thanks again.
How about the new WP8 phones that are going to come out around October I think. Huge update to the software from what I have read, multiple core, multiple screen res and size support. I would be very interested to see a Nokia WP8 mobile with their 41mp camera, and Nokia maps. That would be pretty amazing. I am itching to see what comes out.

Unfortunately for Sprint, slow data is the only reason I'm leaving...otherwise I'd consider the EVO LTE more seriously.

I have a feeling now that google has their hands on motorola, that they will eventually have a pretty sweet release....more then likely a Nexus. I have a feeling that it'll not be locked down the way it has in the past. Google knows what Android junkies want, and they'd be kinda stupid to not use motorola ideally the way they should. Hopefully it makes it to sprint. Main reason I'm hoping for this is purely for the fact Motorola and Google are AMERICAN companies.

I had the tegra 3 one X, & you will only get EDGE speed on it, everything else works. It was ridiculously slow though so I switched.

I'll be hanging on to my amaze for at least another year. there hasn't been anything out that is miles ahead of the amaze, so when I upgrade, I want it to be an upgrade, not just trying something else out and moving sideways. Now that everything has been released for the amaze, its only a matter of time until everybody gets what they want (AOSP, AOKP, CM9/10, sense4, etc)

Totally agreed to this one too. lol.
I personally think that my Amaze will still do the job till at least next year.... except, if i got tired with the crappy battery life and the random shutdown (switched between three batteries and still got the random shutdown).... If not for those two problems, I would never ever think of changing phone.... Plus, I don't wanna pay extra 200 bucks for a small hardware upgrade....
Guys remember we are getting the 1900 band as well. So I'm going to wait for that then get international phones. The choices are endless when we get that 1900.

It's not, or I would've taken the one this guy offered me a couple days ago.

Roflmao. When are these android news sites going to give up and make a big deal about an ACTUAL release.

At this point.... An ics update is more of a slap in the face than a gift. It's like giving someone cream in their coffee when they asked for cream and sugar. Yea its nice and all but you're better off just doing it yourself.

Well it will be great if they do actually release something because we need the source to make the ROMs better and fix some stuff.

I'm doubting it to ever release.
I'm sure it will be cancelled.

I hope not either, but I've given up on being confident about it.
Not seeing the update at all would not surprise me. =\

I'm pretty sure VZW can't get the camera to work either and were hoping the community could hack something together.
Either that or they are hoping most users will get frustrated and upgrade (and drop unlimited data) - now I need to go put my tin foil hat on.

Lol I seriously doubt they have that problem. Verizon doesn't want us to get it because they know we won't upgrade if we get it.

Where have I heard this song before? I'm done with HTC because of their lack of support for this phone. Verizon too. I've really been disappointed with this phone when Verizon did such a big effort to say how awesome and revolutionary it was.
I'm not holding my breath for it. I see it this way.. Why would they update the OS on these phones when they can just sell us a newer model that matches these phones exactly BUT has a newer OS.. Apple has done it for years.. why not HTC?
I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way, but ICS being released has no effect on my purchasing a new phone. It would be freakin awesome if tomorrow ICS was out, but if I wanted to upgrade, ICS wouldn't sway me back into keeping the Thunderbolt. I don't want a new phone because I don't want to buy it full price or eBay or Craigslist or whatever. And I don't want to lose my unlimited data. Soooo.....I'm sticking with the Thunderbolt for now. When I do decide to upgrade and buy a new phone, having ICS, Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie, etc. on the Thunderbolt won't matter to me. So for now, I hope ICS comes out really soon. I'm tired of flashing the same ROMs over and over.

Agreed. They could come out with Jelly Bean for the TB, but it doesn't change the fact that the hardware and look are outdated.
It's buisness. They are not in a rush to release it whether it is ready or not. There are a list of priorities and knowing Verizon customer service has always been on the low end. So considering giving the thunderbolt ics would simply be providing customers with a generous update, my guess is that it is low on the list of priorities. People shouldn't knock HTC. Their products are good quality and are actually outstanding in some aspects (minus the battery life). Verizon is the issue here and Google did the right thing in not giving them the nexus 4. LTE is more or less a scam as far as what a phone can actually render. HSPA+ is plenty. I'm with Google on this one. Verizon and their gouging for money and lack of customer service leads to my decision that I'm better off on my own no contract just Google and a sim card.
HTC really dropped the ball with ICS for the thunderbolt. Do rectify the situation they should offer discounted new phones to Thunderbolt owners. The phone was just absolutely terrible...
I will end my Verizon contract and go back to Tmobile in the summer. Sick of this terrible lack of support.

I saw a thread somewhere that Verizon WAS giving out new phones for Thunderbolts. Maybe if you flash it to stock and complain about reboots etc which they can't prove out. Personally, I'm still relatively happy with the community for providing awesome ROMs, though it would be nice if they had good source to work from.
They was giving out other phones awhile back because they had no cln bolts as replacement. They don't do that now unless you have replaced like 5 to 7 bolts in a period of time.
