HTC announced only the first wave of ICS upgrades.

Until now they didn't say anything that makes me think WFS won't get ICS.

Obviously they will first update the high-end devices and leave the "budget" smartphones waiting.

From the replies I got from Tech Support I still have hope that we will get an official release.

Let HTC learn about integrating ICS with Sense on the Sensation and EVO 3D.

Maybe we should be a little bit patient...
[HTC Wildfire S] arkatis:
No unfortunately not! You have to buy it on eBay or from here : http://www.xtcclip.com/

If the boot loader of the wildfire s is not yet unlocked from them then no ICS on wildfire s either.. They only care about the high-end phones!

I don't think that HTC will come up and say "wildfire s will get Ice cream Sandwich!" Not a chance..lol
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Oh crap... :p I was thinking 2010, wrote down 2011 (hate that sometimes). Anyway I think even without support from them our devs can make 4.0.1 for us with no bother :) Optimised and stuff...
[HTC Wildfire S] victorharsh:
yes this information is correct, for Low end's phone only have ICS wait wait wait..............:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
ICS will be pointless from HTC on the WFS. Sense will ruin most of what's good in ICS.

Chances of HTC releasing it are pretty slim as well I think. Look at what happened with the HTC Desire and Gingerbread. A phone perfectly capable of running 2.3, but they came out with all kinds of crap excuses as to why it wouldn't be possible.. On an ex-flagship phone.

Seeing as they'll probably have another 5 models out before even the first wave of ICS is released, I can't see it happening. I doubt even my Desire S will get it from HTC.

We just need a software S-OFF fix and then hope CyanogenMod 9 gets the support. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I personally don't think that one thing (unlocked bootloader) has anything to do with the other (O.S. updates). This is my humble opinion.

I know they obviously care more about high-end phones but I used to have a Wildfire (the original, not S), it came with Eclair (2.1) and later got an upgrade to Froyo (2.2). This was a nice surprise.

Of course that now the odds don't seem very good for the WFS but I still have a little faith on this.

In the meanwhile I can't find anybody with a XTC Clip here in my region, so I will have to wait for a "miracle". Either S-OFF is achieved by software only and I might think of flashing a custom ROM, or HTC keeps their word on the updates arriving on phones released on a certain time frame and I will have to be VERY patient. :D

Of course that I would like a lot to have a phone with ICS "onboard"... but for now I will have to survive with Gingerbread and at least hope HTC updates the 2.3.3 to 2.3.5.

Durdy, you said it well: an "

ex

-flagship" phone. It's life-cycle is long gone now.

The HTC Desire (I had one but unfortunately it fell inside a portable latrine :mad: while attending an U2 show) was released more than 20 months ago.

How many version upgrades did the Desire get?

How many did the WFS get? Until now none. That's why I still have a little faith.

About your Desire S, I would say that you will definitely get ICS from HTC. :cool:

There can be no doubt about it. If HTC doesn't update the Desire S, I will never buy HTC again! Keep in mind that I don't own one myself but I thought about buying one for 2-3 months. The decision was based on my salary having other priorities nowadays, so I got a Wildfire S just to keep faithful to the brand and Android+Sense. I also liked the size/weight/features of the WFS.

I suppose the main question is that the upgrade "waves" may take too long for some of us to wait... ;)

Of course that I am very grateful to everyone that is trying to port ICS to the WFS, to all nice devs that are trying to S-OFF without a XTC Clip, etc.

All HTC phones I had until today (except the WFS) were rooted and flashed with ROMS that I got here on XDA. :D

Kudos.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Thanks for the info ScottPomroy. This should be a sign that sooner or later the other RUU's will get it too. At least it solves some known bugs.

My WFS was Vodafone branded but I updated it to the latest European RUU (already 2 updates, still 2.3.3).
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
It got one. It was shipped with 2.2 and EVENTUALLY HTC released 2.3, although at first they said it wasn't possible as there wasn't enough internal storage (it has 512mb!) even though it has more than the WFS that actually shipped with 2.3.

Chances are slim, at best. HTC are not going to want to spend time on it, the same as the desire. The only way the desire got an upgrade was thanks to it having such a large number of users complaining. There's a fair number of us WFS users, but I doubt as many as there was campaigning for the desire. :(

Edit: They've even gone on file making up excuses already for the Desire series (inc Desire S):

Source: http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2011/10/android_ice_cream_sandwich_ruled_out_for_htc_desire_range/
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Durdy, sorry to say but you're wrong about the updates. It got two.

The Desire I had (provider-free) was shipped with Eclair 2.1, got Froyo 2.2 OTA after a little time and in the end it got Gingerbread 2.3.

So IMHO that's already a good software upgrade cycle.

About the excuses HTC are writing I guess with a little pressure from the customers they might extend the range of smartphones receiving ICS.

It would be very hard to understand that a phone released only 8 months ago (the Desire S) won't get ICS. Anyway only time will tell. One way or another there will be always a way to get ICS running on your phone. ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
It's not fair we don't get any updates.
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
I don't think anyone's noticed the weird obstruction of porting ICS to existing phones. What about the virtual on screen buttons?

I mean all the HTC phones have the usual layout and the bottom and to port ICS the standard buttons would have to be used. Hmm.

Also I think ICS is a very detailed and made-for-HDPI kind of android. It doesn't work in my brain for it to fit on small devices and be completely and efficiently usable at the same time. :o
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
With phones with physical (or in the case of most HTCs, capacitive) buttons, you don't get the on screen ones in ICS, but operation is the same.

I can see why HTC will try and avoid updating as many phones as possible. The fact is they release too many models than is sustainable. They've released 18 Android phones this year so far.

It'd be nice to see ICS on the Wildfire/ Desire/ Sensation S', but I can't honestly see it happen, especially with them wanting to load "Sense" on as well. (Why isn't sense optional? :( )

Also, it will be interesting to see what they do with the HTC Explorer. As that is only just being released, and it's actually inferior in many ways to the WFS. That ships with sense 3.5, and the WFS with 2.1. Why hasn't the WFS got sense 3.5 when it actually has more space for it than the explorer?
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
then who's gonna buy Explore......that's how market works....you wanna experience something new...buy our new phone.....yeah...
[HTC Wildfire S] Pudel89:
I talked by HTC Global ContactUs System with person who represents the HTC Europe and I get concrete info: HTC not prepares ICS for low-end smartphones like HTC WFS.
[HTC Wildfire S] aparici:
Ask him for unlocking the bootloader please.

Enviado desde mi HTC Wildfire S A510e usando Tapatalk
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Pudel89, I'm in no right to doubt you but I guess we all would really like to know who is the person who supposedly represents HTC Europe and the exact statement that such person wrote.

I've also used HTC Global Contact System and never got such a response, even when I talked to the Iberian Support Manager (Portugal and Spain). If you need the name of the person I talked to I can write it here without any problem.

I guess if such drastic information was around it would be posted at a lot of forums, blogs, etc.

This is just my natural curiosity because I got different answers after contacting HTC. I didn't get a "Yes we will deliver ICS to low/mid-end phones", neither I got a "No we won't upgrade such phones with ICS".

Can you please elaborate?

Thanks in advance. :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] Pudel89:
Sorry for my mistake

This person is: "Piotr [Eastern EU - Baltics Support (Tech)]"

Piotr wrote to me a few concrete sentences, twice (in Polish ;] ):

"Firma HTc nie udostepni takiego programu/rozwiazania dla posiadanego przez Pana modelu."

-> HTC did not provide that's application/solution for this phone model"

"Sprawa blokady tego urzadzenia z informacji jakie posiadam sie nie zmieni.

-> The case of block this device from information who i have, don't change in future

Sorry for my bad English :)
[HTC Wildfire S] jikantaru:
I need HTC's 1 click porting tools. Do HTC have it?
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
No problem Pudel89, thanks for replying.

Piotr [Eastern EU - Baltics Support (Tech)] is exactly at the same level in terms of HTC hierarchy, as the persons I spoke to.

I spoke to Iberian Support (Tech) persons so it's the same thing.

These are just tech support guys that don't have all the info from the "backstage".
[HTC Wildfire S] rohil surana:
I am sorry but I wanted to ask what is " alpha rev x ".
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
guys if you check the shipped roms stickies in development section you will notice that htc has released a new update with android 2.3.5 and new sense lockscreen. The RUU is europe 2.13.401.2

now this got me thinking that this might be an easy way of them not to release an ics 4.0 for us. and saying well you had an update what more do you want.

I really hope thats not what they are upto as i wanna try ics myself. Just wondering what everyones thoughts on this are?

Ofcourse i could be completely wrong and this update might have some sort of connection with htcdev unlock process. Only time will tell.
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
How do you find out what your ROM is? e.g. Euro 2....etc.

I'm S-ON and still a little nooby.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Well what region or country are you in? Is your phone branded to a network or sim free?

Sent from my HTC Wildfire S
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
intel007, I already updated my WFS with that RUU and I think this is an interesting issue you brought up. :cool:

This also got me thinking about HTC using that kind of argument: "You got 2.3.5 so don't complain about our update policy." :rolleyes:

On the other hand this update was (IMO) absolutely necessary in order to fix some annoying bugs that 2.3.3 has. I almost see this as a Service Pack (or patch) and not an update, if you get what I mean.

There are also some interesting developments in this ROM like the Scribble application inside. This is about the scribe technology used in the HTC Flyer tablet for example.

So maybe HTC is doing more than we think. At least I want to believe so.

There is a certain logic to what you say and think (on this subject we think the same) but I will remain positive for now. ;)

This is just my two cents.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
What bugs are fixed? And what is the purpose of the Scribble app?
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Henry_1, about the bugs that got fixed it's better for you to google the changelogs from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and then to 2.3.5. :D

You can see a (very) small part here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#2.3.5

At least mine (on 2.3.3) had a recurring bug that force closed Sense when I uninstalled (and sometimes installed) applications. This was terribly annoying because I uninstall and install a lot of apps for the purpose of testing.

Imagine the time wasted restarting Sense (with all widgets) everytime I uninstalled an app... :mad:

Now it's gone and the general feeling is that the phone is much faster now. :cool:

Now about improvements and not bug fixes:

I think that the camera is more stable now and seems to produce better quality photos in low light conditions.

This is highly subjective so maybe other people can say something about this.

The 2.3.5 update also brings a new feature to the WFS, which is Backup SMS.

In the Message application you will find this very useful feature. No more third-party needed for my needs. :)

If I find more news in the meanwhile, I will post them here.

The scribble app has something to do with HTC Scribe technology.

Maybe it's a little support for owners of the HTC pen (not a stylus, it comes with the HTC Flyer tablet), I don't really know much about this (yet).

Please check this link for a demo of the Scribe technology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxPUrzSRhe0

Hi, I installed the Sleeper rom, and I can't get the 4g working, it says it is on, it works when I am only on 3g but not 4g.

I'm on version 1.0 with the EI22 modem, and everything else seems to be working ok.

I'm not the biggest noob and I did search for quite some time first, just thought i would ask if anyone had any suggestions.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

EDIT

I could swear I was connected last night. Should I reflash the modem? It says connected but when I look at the IP address it only has a DNS entry nothing else. looking under settings > wirless> 4g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:

Same thing happend to me with the legendary rom and a full wipe and reinstall with nubekernal seemed to fix it... what kernel are you using? Full wipe b4 install?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gl35:
Looks like it came with Samurai 2.6.35_gen10.2

Should I put the Nub kernal on it?

[Galaxy S II General] compspider:
Hi there,

I have been a member of this form for quite some time now.

I just got my Galaxy II and i am in love with it, however i got some issues.

As you can see from the title / subject (3) issues.

I will try to be brief. :cool:

Status:

--------

My Phone is rooted correctly

I have Superuser

I have 2.3.5 installed

The phone is not branded

I am in Germany

I re applied the secure kernel so i dont see the yellow triangle after the

rooting.

For more info regarding my device let me know.

1. VPNC Widget

------------------

I got it to work perfectly. I am using it with my Fritzbox (a common german router that does pretty much everything, including VPN service)

My only trouble is: It does not working over 3G.

Can it be the fault of the ISP, can i check the port maybe if IPSEC does not work ? I mean i tried Firebind to check the IPSEC port but it did NOT fail

so it is open. Is there maybe anything i forgot to set.

As i said i can go to a hotspot and it works fine, friends router, also fine, anything over WiFi works great.

2. Social Hub

---------------

I love social hub it includes my accounts

as in Facebook, MSN messanger, google talk, Work exchange server

My problem here: Google Mail (not app). It works again over WiFi but not over 3g.

HOWEVER, it does work over 3G with the Google Mail app.

I dont understand why i would have to setup the google mail account again

in Social hub if i already have it set up in the Google mail app.

But i tried and it gives me two different errors.

A. Over Premium it gives me failed to connect

B. Without premium it gives me cannot safely connect to server

Another remark or WiFi point B. works fine, IMAP does not.

Can it be that the google mail app is already using it and that is why a double connection cannot be created ?

3. ClockworkMod

-------------------

I installed ROM Manager just fine.

I updated and flashed via the GUI on the phone the first button in

ROM Manager the clockworkmod. This copies a update.zip in the root of my internal SD card. I then proceed to turn off the phone and use the

(Vol. UP + Power + Home button) to gain access to the blue menu.

Here i select install over SD card the zip.

Then i select the update.zip and it fails giving me a signature error.

This does not work i tried it over and over again.

Do i have to use Odin to actually flash the kernel patch for Clockworkmod.

Does this affect anything else ?

I know this is a lot of stuff but maybe there are smarter people out there besides me, i have been browsing the internet for solutions but found nothing useful for any of these. Suggest something to me and i will let you know if it worked.

I appropriate any help.

Thank you much.

[Galaxy S II General] compspider:
Just a short update. Docile hub has nothing ti for with my issue. its the email client its i trI'd it with droidmail. Everything worked fine.

Wife and 3g ... So there is no fix here 4 for sure

The vpnc i still need help with as well as the clockwork.

However it seems quit common for S2 users tl have to copy a downloaded zip with clockwork mod into the sd card. Slowly it seems k am getting closer

I will keel you up to date

[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
I was running the Alpha/RC1 build for a couple of days on my GSM P-1000T and it wasn't bad. Only problems were a few graphical glitches (notification area quick toggles didn't appear) and the major ones were that I couldn't get my 3G service to work and I couldn't access the internal SD card. Other than that, not a bad OS, but probably not a daily driver level just yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] Cypher123:
I have been using the same RC1 build for the last week. I have major battery issues, takes forever to charge.

What did you go to after this? The time it takes me to charge my battery alone is enough reason for me to change ROM's.

Back to the original topic:

There is a thread in the general section 4th one down for the RC1 build if you want to test it out.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
ASUS Transformer -- Latest version of Revolver, using v22a of supercurios kernal, and the ice cream sandwich theme, v2.

I've searched and searched, bu haven't found a case similar to mine.

When trying to download and install or update apps, I always get a notification saying that there was "insufficient storage available".

I have over 3 gigs free on the Internal memory, and nearly 6 on my microsd card.

I've read about people wiping or deleting items in the dalvik cache, and I've read about clearing market data.

My problem is, some say that wiping the dalvik cache on custom roms can break them, requiring a new flash.

I also have another problem. Nearly 100% of the time, downloads fail in the stock browser. I'm not sure if they fail in other browsers, but frankly I don't care-- I haven't come across a single browser in the market that I actually like. Most aren't even worth the megabytes they eat up.

And I also can't get over the fact that one of androids nucest features of all times, the move apps to SD card function, is unavailable to me. This makes my 80 dollar high-speed microsd card that I bought specifically for fast application use useless.

What can I do about either issue? The app update and install and the storage issue is a priority for me.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
yup, i get that as well at times, it really is annoying however, a reboot normally always fixes it and a wiping of any and all caches (from recovery) will keep that problem from coming back for a long time. I always make backups (once a week) so that if I wipe the cache wrong or something, I can restore from the recovery backup I made. I havent had to reflash a rom yet (crosses fingers)
