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.

Feb March 2012
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.

Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
A long time ago, Samsung promised to release an additional update wih more S-Pen software and better functionality. I dont remember when, but it was at least a few weeks ago. Search aound and youll find it. Angry Birds space isnt an update. Its a completely new game. Just like Rovio does whenever it has a new theme...Rio...Seasons...you get the idea. So unless the Korean translations were crap (Sammy is known for their terrifying translations...remember the galaxy tab site?) this means that there will be a software update (either a ROM or a update for the S-Memo type apps) and a new "suite" of apps that we'll get from the Samsung app store that'll include a note specific version of Angry Birds space with a free bonus episode and(that others will have to purchase via in app purchasing), and a note-only bonus level.
In short...Samsung never once mentioned anything along the lines of a "value pack"...in fact, on the contrary. This is speak of a galactic update.
Not to mention the fact that there are already official ICS ROM leaks...and Samsung has announced the update already for couple countries.
If you had read the article and checked the source,you'd know that there is actually 0 evidence of this.
Weird logical leap. Note will get ICS.
They're skipping ICS and going to blow everyone away with JellyBean. Right?
It would be stupid for them to not release ICS for the note or the galaxy S II phones all these phones have great specs for running ICS. Besides if they don't release it there will be many roms available
Canadian carriers clearly show ICS available 2012 would really suck if they lie.

Remember the post refers to the international Note, and the International Note already has leaked ICS. So likely it will get official ICS.

Sigh. =/ can you update us?
I don't have good news but I can share what the experience was for us Samsung Infuse 4g users.
We all started with Froyo and the promise of a Ginger Bread update. Here we are many months later still on Froyo. There was an official Update to Ginger Bread in the beginning of February that was promptly pulled because of all the issues it had.
When I saw that the note was supposed to be released with Ginger Bread with the promise of an ICS update ... I was stunned at the similarity of what Samsung was doing. I am almost certain we even got an Angry Birds update somewhere in August... yet we still to this date have Froyo.
With this in mind and the Fact that Samsung isnt being a speedy updater.. I would suggest moving forward and making the most of what you have right now.
I hope they release your ICS soon but the fact that there are leaks means nothing...we have had Ginger Bread leaks since october last year. Thus it is no indication of an official release. It is more like small teases to keep us on the string.
On the bright side we have had several great devs over at the Infuse 4g forums that made our lives a little easier. Taking the GB leaks and developing ROMs. Most of the ROMs were great and were indeed GB based ROMs. There were a couple of issues however. No Bluetooth and HDMI support as the kernels the devs had to work with didn't support them for some reason. I am sure they explained it a million times.. LOL.
Dman ... who developed several great ROMs and a few ports.. was amazing. I heard he now had a gnote. So cross your fingers that he will be doing some great work here as well.
To sum up...
Don't get in a hurry for an Update to ICS. Don't believe what Samsung or ATT says about Samsung updates PERIOD.
Myself....I will be holding out for the note until I see an official ICS.

This is why I have ALWAYS been so shy about going to a Samsung phone.
Good thing is, if something with similar hardware releases with ICS, we'll have the drivers we need and we can just Root and jump on the ROM train.
That's why I decided on Samsung this time around.

Cool we have confirmation of ics!
For US phones, basically unless you get one of the Nexus phones, you should never expect to get any timely OTA updates. It's still mostly the US phone carriers to blame more so than the phone vendors themselves. Like I'm sure Samsung isn't actually intentionally delaying ICS forever on purpose.
it is coming in may
Now I'm pretty sure its nothing but I hope its true

More than likely is just a canned response. However, since our phone has only been out for 7 months, I expect we will see at least one official iteration of Jellybean. I doubt we will see Key Lime Pie.
But you never know, since the original Incredible just got a bug fix update after almost 3 years since being released. We could go more...

I don't think they're likely to pay much attention to this one. Although I believe the Thunderbolt was a popular device and it just got ICS. It's hit or miss with these companies I guess...

does anyone know if 4.2 will ever be on the DNA Officialy?
I am assuming they are waiting for 4.3 and then they will just upgrade us to that.
The HTC Butterfly is getting 4.2.2 with Sense 5.1, so the DNA likely will as well.
I honestly doubt the DNA will ever get official 4.3 but you can bet your ass it will get unofficial CM10.2 or whatever they will call it. My bet is on official 4.2 seeing as the butterfly 4.2 leaked.

I disagree...I think HTC will be forced to update the DNA to 4.3 because Samsung has already promised 4.3 and 5.0 for the GS3 & GS4 and HTC cannot afford to lose anymore of the market share due to not updating their flagship (or older flagship in this case) phones. Hell, the Rezound just received a pretty major update last month, so I have faith we will see 4.3, but I doubt we'll ever see Key Lime.
As for dates as to when we will see 4.2 officially, all the credible rumors I've herd put it in the June/July range; which means maybe this year if Verizon is true to form.
Well at this point we don't even know if key lime pie exists. Kinda hard to know updates when they aren't even officially announces yet.

Right. Im sure HTC's marketing team will get better in a matter of months. The DNA is no longer being marketed and Verizon will not want to update it. I guarantee you that the DNA will not get official updates after 4.2 (unless the next device is similar to the DNA but I doubt it. Either way, we have almost fully working unofficial 4.2(CM base) and many derivatives(PAC, Revolt etc). I don't really care if we get official 4.x because it can just be done unofficially (because sense is ugly and stupid).
Personally I love me some sense, its why I buy HTC devices, I will use a Nexus for aosp. I think we will get 4.3 although I'm not saying it will be official. I feel confident we will get a 4.2 update, but its too early to make the call on 4.3. Heck HTC updated the thunderbolt to ice cream sandwich and it was an antique by then so I don't think I can say either way what they will do until we know more about 4.3 and sense.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I am going to be unusually optimistic and say it will get 4.3 at least. I mean look at the fact that the Original Droid Incredible, though small, got an approved update from HTC/Verizon. Say what you want but this shows that there is some pretty good hope we will see 4.3 and maybe 5.0. Our phone isn't even a year old yet and the original DINC got an update in the past several months....Tells me to be hopeful.
Good old Big Red will probably delay it further than end of Q1 but hey at least it's still "on track" for our DNA

I came just to post this.. honestly, why keep doing this? The DNA can run Sense 5, we know this. So, Why keep playing this game? First it was what, 4.2.3, then 4.3 "coming soon" and now onto 4.4 ... Oh well. The dev's have our backs here for sure.. too bad they couldn't get their hands on some of the code.. But here is a link to the article with copies of tweets from HTC...
HTC Gives Clarity To Update Schedule - 4.4 KitKat Coming To Droid DNA By End Of Q1, HTC One By End Of January

I'm quite happy with my DNA the support of the devs on here is phenomenal! I'm just saying that we getting this update EVENTUALLY and then will get even better...and I'm not talking about the update I'm talking about the devs doing their thing with the code...I can honestly say because of the support on here this is the first cell that I don't have that urge to upgrade after exactly a year since I got it I always get that itch but I'm cool with my DNA running Viper DNA I know it's going to get better

Just S-OFF & root, flash custom rom with sense 5, & blam! Done. I gave up trying to have faith in VZW. Always delays & other BS. I'll stick with the devs. Better updates. Better support. Better features.
Thanks for posting this. Most people thought it wouldn't happen at all but better late than never. The only reason I get stoked about official releases is because it's much smoother for development. Cutting to bits some port has proven to be problematic so any official release can yield higher quality custom roms.

Yeah, I won't run the official OTA anyways, but having an official base for our phone makes it so much easier for the devs. They don't have to hack and port from other phones to try and possibly work with the crap kernel source we have now.
Ah well, I do agree it sucks we have to wait but as said, having a version for our precious DNA will make it easier in the long run for the devs not having to port everything. Still better than it was stock thanks to the viper team Rom. And always better than an iPhone

They'll delay till end of 2nd quarter and by then device will be EOL so therefore no more updates. HTC should stop tweeting about timelines if they continuously cannot hold them. DNA is a perfect reason why you should root your phone. Hardware capable, glacial software updates or never.
Why do people still complain, is the same for almost every AndroiD maker. If you don't like it, switch to at&t and get a nexus. If you need an official then sit back, wait, and don't hold your breath. If you don't go flash a rom.

I replied to his tweet about the 4.4 update asking if that is considered him putting it in writing, and he said "Yes" without any hesitation.
I don't know how to post a twitter image so I just copy/pasted the text of his response:
My question to him:
@jasonmacHTC @crmeyerhofer Is this considered you putting this in writing?I love HTC dvcs,but lack of updts on 3 of them are driving me away
His reply to me:
Reply to @badogg @crmeyerhofer yes. we need to finalize schedules internally and with Verizon.
Are they still promising the 4.3 update by the end of the year?

Because moto is a google owned company . Probably they had the kitkat code before it was announced. My 2 cents. Also they run almost a vanilla android version HTC is very modified.

Remember most of the update issues are what Verizon does after HTC gives them the update. HTC actually does a decent job with updates for all carriers it is just Verizon that delays them.
