Sense 5 will be available on older models. HTC has confirmed the information via his Facebook page. For the moment no "roadmap" official has been issued, only a small non-exhaustive list is available.
"HTC will be offering upgrades to some of its existing devices in the coming months, including variants of HTC One X One X +, One S & HTC Butterfly. However, note that certain features of the new HTC One will not be available in software updates for hardware compatibility reasons ".
The Droid DNA isn't on this list of 4 smartphones, but if the Butterfly will get the update, so it wouldn't be for technical reasons if the Droid DNA wouldn't get it...Normally it will also...

Yeah verizon is horrible with updates. We probably won't have sense 5 until close to the end of the year. Or may never get it through an ota most likely will get it through a port before the ota.

The word variants kind of confirms the DNA. I don't understand why such doubt? Don't say because of the thunderbolt or this phone or that phone didn't get anything. All we can do is wait. We bought the phone for what it had, not for what it might get. I'm happy either way.

This is the reason I left HTC to begin with... The promising of updates that never happen... Verizon shares some of the blame for the delays, but ultimately it's up to HTC to deliver quality builds to the carriers.. While on the Incredible 2 and waiting for ICS, HTC delivered a build to Verizon that was so buggy that even Verizon said "no".... But now I'm back and hope this doesn't happen again..

I love how you're comparing the new and revised business plan with the Inc2.......this is 100% on verizon, not HTC.

Precisely why I look at the possible dev community rather than what I think the carrier will offer down the road when I purchase a phone. I bought the DNA in full confidence that there would be many great devs supporting it, and I was right. Really enjoying my phone so far.
As for my friend, he bought an LG Spectrum even though he knew I was pretty knowledgeable and could have given him better suggestions. Now he's begging me to root it for him... but for what, there's no development for it at all lol.
I personally bought the DNA over butterfly because of the bigger dev community. Ill never understand why be at xda and wait on carriers.

you might want to go check over on android forums. There is plenty of development. In fact, AOKP and CM 10.1 both are nearing official support thanks to the devs over there. The Spec was a great phone while I had it.

I looked quite a few times and even by the time I bought my DNA, they still didn't have anything concrete. Just took a look too and this all looks like recent dev for it. Agreed though, the specs did look good, but LG messed it up pretty bad.
Either way, good to see that it's finally getting some attention and I can offer him some relief when we see each other in a few months - hopefully they have a stable CM10.1 by then

LG devices are notorious for their poor development. They're usually budget phones (with the Optimus line being an obvious exception).
HTC confirmed via their Facebook page to my question about ICS on the Thunderbolt that it was "coming soon" back in June of 2012. When did it arrive? December? Better late than never I suppose but I wouldn't hold your breath...

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.
You do realize that these issues are related to the gsm device and may not be problems on the cdma/lte version since it's different hardware.

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.

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.

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.

We are, but when?
So coming from a nexus 4.... Love the nexus but work is buying me a phone so I figured I wouldn't complain. anyway. Anyone one what the development is going to be like on this phone if we can't achieve S-Off? I was debating between the note and this. Just hoping I didn't make the wrong decision in mod ability.. Since this phone had the nicer specs..

The Note 2 is more hacker-friendly, it is available on more carriers and will see more dev support.
To be blatantly honest, you made the wrong choice!
I think about it every morning I pick up my DNA, but I knew that's how it would be when I paid for it...

Dev support should be coming soon. I mean the DNA has only been out for a month or so and the Note 2 has been out for over two months. The dev support might be huge for the note 2 but how many people will actually buy the phone? that big huge phablet i laugh at my dad with it every time i see him on the phone. The phone is not attractive to everyone and will sure not be as big of a hit as the SIII.
Stick with the DNA and enjoy the phone for what it is. I am sure that we will get some dev support sooner or later.
Good phones always do!

If you have not had a chance, get your hands on a note then mess around with the DNA.
That made up my mind in 1 min with both. I wanted the note 2 sooo badly but the DNA won me over with the awesome screen and the quality of materials. The note2 felt like a cheap toy with a grainy screen. That being said, I would get a note two if I could get one for less than 300$. What I feel it is worth it for me.
Will S-OFF be coming via a kernel though or is that something we will most likely not be able to do. Would really love some AOSP on this phone. nice phone overall... just prefer more of a stock experience.

You don't get s off from a kernel, you run an exploit, similar to rooting.

There is a method already. They have achieved soff but it hasnt been released. Still buggy and dangerous. I was told first or sec week of january there will be a full root soff method that htc unlock will not be affected. Ive owned 3 evos all have soff. Ive never even been to the site were you unlock the bootloader. Give it time its being done as we speak. Xmas slows it down.

I bet it won't stay gone for long. This stuff has happened historically with Verizon...I remain confident that it will re appear soon.

From one of my four sessions with Verizon today, Verizon on the phone said the Manufacture has halted the production, in effort to push a newer item..

I'm excited for the HTC one but I still love my DNA. Note sure what to do here.

Even more of a reason HTCdev should put it back on their list so we can unlock the boooader!

This looks like I'm going to be in the same unhappy position as I was with my last phone. Seriously if verizon didn't have good service I wouldn't be with them.

Well guess I better start saving some money now for the new phone.

I don't have an upgrade avaliable and I really don't want to blow several hundred dollars so I'm going to stay with my dna until my upgrade. That's what I have always done.
So if they retire it, does that mean we aren't going to receive any more ota updates.

I've been looking at the DNA for my next phone, but I'm going to watch these developments carefully. Having owned a Bionic, I'm wary of buying another model which may be replaced after a very short run.

We have an amazing phone, it's more powerful than all of the phones out right now, has decent battery life, decent reception, and doesn't look half bad - it's the tail end of the last generation of phones. It's nothing to be ashamed of. And we'll have a fully working CM very soon too. Yeah, the One is nice and all, but really this phone is a beast that's gonna stand on its own for quite a while. Top-of-the-line phones always lose their crown eventually.
yeah, we couldn't order DNA's anymore back in my store lol...guess she's dunzo.
I like my DNA. I don't think its worth it to get an HTC One because the screen is smaller, and no QI wireless charging(But when will i ever use it?) The DNA seems to be almost the same size. I can care less about the front speakers, but more storage is better. My DNA is smooth enough. The One's camera seems cool, and UI looks nice(but we may get an update). Hopefully we get a DNA+ instead.
Here's more on it from Android Central

To answer a question above yes we will still see updates. The og incredible and charge got an update recently for crying out loud and those have been retired for over a year. I can bet however our sense 5 update just got pushed back. Hopefully not the usual Verizon time frame where we don't see it until 2014.

I like my DNA. Just hope the Htc one doesn't turn out to have issues like TB. Htc seems in a bit of a rush to put out more phones that are not super updated phones over the last model. I like the DNA screen size. Not real concerned with speakers as DNA sounds great with external speaker. Camera is fine, I will live with the camera till next upgrade. More storage would be nice but now not a deal breaker. Sounds like Htc is taking after motorola same phone some minor changes.! doesnt have me in a rush for a new phone as wtf another version is just around the corner in a few months lol. Just think of what will be out 2 yrs from now!!!!!

Complaining is sorry of pointless. Were already getting sense 5. Cm is really close to bring done with new developments in audio today. There is nothing less really that we would or wouldn't be getting
