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'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 They could come out with Jelly Bean for the TB, but it doesn't change the fact that the hardware and look are outdated.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.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus....get it or wait for ICS on the MoPho

Just wondering should I get the Galaxy Nexus which is really nice especially running ICS but I really love my MoPho ...what do you guys think? Should I wait for ICS on my MoPho or get the GN ?
Phone looks awesome but it wont drop until november. And its probably a vzw exclusive for the time being. They didnt comment much on carriers at the release.

This. And as far as trying to build out the brand, it was a poor move to put this into the hands of Verizon the same day the Razr was announced. It sucks because of the fact that data is moving into the cloud, access $80 per 5 piece. I'll never go back to Verizon and the MoPho is a device I can stick with for awhile because the communications and GPS functioning on the device is great.

No right or wrong answer. If you want to go with Verizon in a month or 2, certainly they will make it easy to do so.

I love everything about the Galaxy Nexus and am really tempted to upgrade. But two things threw me off:
- exclusive to Verizon. What the heck. What happened to the promise to be open and not stick to one carrier? That was just last year when they released the Nexus S!
- Likely to be CDMA only. As a student from Hong Kong that goes back every half year, I need my GSM connectivity on my Photon.
Now that Google bought Motorola, I have high hopes that they will bring ICS to Photon.

the international version is gsm and carrier unlocked, just the same as the previous nexus. if you are on tmo or att that version will work fine
verizon exclusive is only until sprint gets lte set up. sprint just bought a CRAPLOAD of iphones and is subsidzing them at a horrible cost to themselves. once they have the capital and lte networks up i expect to see a sprint version
*cries* Yeah and I wish they hadn't done so now they are so cash strapped it'll be a while before we see improvements around here? :/

I was asking everyone for their opinions just to get some idea of what I should do...I would wait for sprint to get the device because I used to work for Verizon and they are full of **** over there but I am not sure about the devices as a whole...things have been moving really slow over here and I give much thanks and props to the guys that have been developing over here but I am used to flashing at will without all of the problems with 4g wifi etc...I get bored easily so I am already looking for my next device but when I can flash at will it keeps my current device fresh and new for me and I don't get bored with it as fast....if I can get ICS in the next couple of Weeks thru a leak our something I will be good until upgrade time I guess
Motorola is probably working on it but a release of ics won't be until march April maybe.. It won't come overnight but in time...

Though ICS is looking dam good on Galaxy Nexus keep in mind that Samsung is not good with updates.So,if there is any bug in initial release only God can help you.
For example Samsung Infuse released with froyo and Samsung almost forgot about this phone.

Update for tmo pushed to June. Thoughts?

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

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.

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.

Should I get a new phone?

Development has pretty much come to a stop. There is no AOSP, sense 4.0 still isnt flawless and other phones are getting further and further ahead.
Jelly Bean and iOS6 are coming out and maybe i should get a new phone.
I have always been a huge android fan despite having a macbook and ipad and I dont think i should get an iphone, right?
Should I get a gnex? Galaxy SIII? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Get a GNex. My GS3 and Rezound are going on Craigslist and I'm getting one too. Stupid f*cking locked bootloader on the GS3.

Do you think google is gonna release a new nexus soon? Should I wait?
I'd like to think they will release one end of this year or early next year... I'll definitely be buying the next one even if it is isn't flagship material.
Is the rezound pretty much dead? I've tried everything possible and I just cant get a smooth, fast feeling. Any ROM suggestions?
I'm going to wait and see what this "Eris" I've heard so much about does with the Rezound before deciding whether to stay aboard or jump ship. If he does something great and the source happens to come out soon enough, I'm definitely staying. If something happens and the source doesn't come out or his progress hits a huge snag where he quits, I'm probably going to pack my bags and look into going back to Sprint.
Their service really does suck in my area, but at least their price was a lot better. If I do jump ship and get an Evo 4G LTE, I would be interested in it if only to run FreshROM again, just like on my OG Evo. Plus, I sort of miss the small things about the Evo family, like CWM, FreshROM, etc. I know Sprint is finally switching to LTE, and if I had to go back, I would be willing to tough it out with bad signal just a while longer, since it looks like Sprint is actually serious about LTE over WiMAX this time.

Do you think the nex is better than the rezound? Yeah its awesome that theyre getting jellybean really soon, but i really like sense and there hardware is pretty much the same
i think any high end android phone is better than the iphone, right?
I've really been considering moving to the nexus since I'm not eligible for my upgrade yet and I can get a used one pretty cheap but I'm still undecided.
The rezound was my first HTC phone and I really love how well built it is compared to Samsung phones but I've had so many problems with it. Plus, with Verizon taking so long to push out updates and practically killing development, it makes the nexus slightly more enticing.
What do you guys think? Should I stick it out with this phone a little bit longer and just hope that the development gets a little better again soon or is it best to just move on now?
Can we at least wait until the end of the month before everyone flips their stuff? We're supposed to get ICS officially this month, and shortly after that HTC should release the ICS kernel source on the HTCDev website. All we need is our fantastic developers to get the RIL working and we'll hopefully be swimming in CM#/AOKP by the end of the year.

New phone

Hello people of XDA,
I have had my tbolt since release date and always loved it and never had any problems with it, the 2 years is up and I don't know what to do, I want to get a new phone but there's none that a really want, I'm still playing the waiting game for fully working ics on tbolt but, I'm sick of waiting, what do u people think I should, get a new phone, or wait to see what HTC suprises Verizon with?

Shop around for what you're interested in.
I personally still love my tbolt and am not really interested in anything else yet either.
If you have unlimited data, I would stick with the tbolt for right now. Things should get more interesting once ICS is released and we get some new ROMs.

But my contract is up so i was asking u guys what u think i should do but, i think i have made my decision at this point and im gonna buy the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE tomorrow!

Is the Rezound dead?

With Verizon no longer selling the Rezound and development slowing down, do you think that the Rezound is coming to the end of it's life?
I feel like I am one of the few that still own this amazing phone and don't have any complaints about it.
Chad0989 has left us and our community is thinning out as newer devices come to market. Will the Rezound disappear or hold its ground among the few people who love it?
I still have mine, and I'm actually looking for a sim adapter so that I can switch between my GS3 and my rezound. I miss that gorgeous rezound display.

The screen is what keeps me from upgrading.
What more can be done that already hasn't been done? It's not dead just hit a stopping point for what can be done. The rezound has a vast library of great roms to run. We all have seen this with countless phones in the past Luke the dinc, original droid and so on. It's not the phone is useless just people likes to have the latest and greatest that's out there. I came from the bolt and to compare the development of the bolt to the rezound and it blows the bolt away.

I see it slowing down, but not dying. All of Android development is dying off until the release of KLP though.
I'm thinking you're going to see this more and more as devs are more likely to want the newest phones. The Eris had good development for the full two years I had it but, from what I could tell, it was pretty easy to get stuff running on it. New phones seem to be a little more difficult and eventually, development hits a wall. I'm hoping things pick up again in May after KLP is released.
Sometimes you have to be smarter than your smartphone.
It's now called the RIPzound. J/k! Not dead, just slower which is normal.
Still here I have the one pre ordered though, but I'll be keeping my Rezound as a wifi only device. Or maybe my music only always in the car device

I'll still be around for a good while, though I've been inactive on the Rezound portion of XDA. I'll probably learn some necromancy and do themes if things do get too slow. It's been relatively good development, a few hiccups but fared well all in all imho. I expect it to rock some KLP someday, too good a device not to.

That's how I'm using mine, wifi and music. I just wish the Sense development would pick back up, I kinda want to see Sense 5 ported.
I still use mine... I was thinking about getting a note 3 instead of a GS4 but I haven't looked for an leaked info yet. May just buy an S3 or something in the mean time. I'm so bored with this phone D; I've had it longer than by other smartphone though. I usually buy something new every few months.
I'll be here for a while as well. The only way I would leave is if I came up on some good money to upgrade and there was something worth upgrading to. I've stated this before, and I truly feel this device hasn't seen its full potential. There's no doubt in my mind this thing could run jb with sense 5 without issues.

Yea I mean other phones with worse specs are running jelly bean and blazing through it. HTC just doesn't care about their customers lol.
For those of us who have to wait for our new contract discount, the Rezound will continue to live on with a great appreciation for our devs, past and present.

I just love my Rezound too much to switch to another device.
I've had it since release day; still immaculate. Although, I've been running CounterShrike since December...maybe I should hop onto the JB bandwagon.

When is your contract up if you have one? I'd wait until KLP comes out and see what devices are running in q4 this year
