[HTC EVO 3D] b.huss2:
the vast majority of people don't lurk these forums and probably don't have a clue as to what's going on with their phone updates, nor care if their phone has "ice cream whatever" on it. they just want a good phone, and if/when their contract is up, they will either be happy with what they have or go get a new phone. the status of older devices will have little to do with it. ICS will come to the evo3d when it is done, hopefully sooner than later :D

I guess it really depends on where the evo3d falls in line of priority among the devices to be upgraded.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Just had a Sprint chat rep tell me "I have checked the information throughly. However the specific timeframe is not mentioned. The Android 4 might be launching in mid summer."
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Well all carriers have their own reason to do what they do. For AT&T, maybe they felt they needed to throw their users a bone with the whole failed T-Mobile thing going down, and their already poor history of updates.......And the One XL isn't rumored to even hit AT&T till maybe even the same time it hits sprint which is June. So they might have tried to offer some goodwill to their users and gain some positive PR.

But as far as sprint, I am just going off of their past history. And I can't recall any update they have put out prior to releasing a new phone featuring that new OS first. Good business sense says if you release the update first, less people would be inclined to but the new phone. Thats just my opinion though.

BTW...the 1.2 to 1.5 thing you talked about...It's not quite that simple. Yes it's an increase from 1.2 to 1.5, but its also a totally different chipset altogether. One that is based on 28nm power process that should make battery life totally different to the chipset in the 3d. So its not so much the 1.5 that is the focus, but the power of the S4 that makes it such a big upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Then you can't use $$$ as your reasoning for them doing it...

thing is not enough people even know what ICS is to even make it factor into their decision for it to make a difference...
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Maybe not $$$$ then, but whatever the reason, sprint doesn't issue updates to new OS prior to them releasing the new phone that features the new OS. I'd be curious to know the reasoning for it if it isn't $$$$.
[HTC EVO 3D] b.huss2:
exactly what i was getting at. it's easy as a forum "regular" to fall into the delusion that everyone is an XDA member and everyone is waiting on ice cream! lol, but actually we are probably a very insignificant number relative to the whole.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Great point! Xda is very big in #s and devs! I really can't believe we don't at least have an ics leak let alone a working ROM! It's absurd. If I remember correctly I think this time last year Virus had a completely working 3d Rom 4 our og evos. This is just weird to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] b.huss2:
i know right? give these dev's here a leak and we would be set! evo3d stuff must be locked down tight, or forbid there's just nothing to leak yet :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Do you guys think the reason it's taking long for any kind of news/leaks to come out for our 3D shooter is because HTC are tweaking/adding in extra features.

As they did say when it was released that the 3D experience would be enhanced later on (something along those lines)
[HTC EVO 3D] royshero:
I'm pretty sure the EVO got gingerbread before the 3d came out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
It would be a nice addition if they made a stereoscopic 3D landscape rosie similar to what LG did with their Optimus 3D.

Sent via carrier pigeon
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
I doubt they are even started on it yet, let alone tweaking it.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
They should just let our devs do it lol! Less bloat and more of what we want which btw the average user would probably like better too if they got to see the difference!
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
My guess is that it's stuck in QA somewhere, either at HTC or Sprint.

99% of devs have no concept of QA, which is something that real companies have to do. HTC and Sprint can't release something with no 4G/no camera/crashes/UI bugs/etc like people here do. Having any kind of QA is what sets CyanogenMod apart from the ROMs, IMO.
[HTC EVO 3D] hzonva:
Coming few weeks
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
You would be crazy to ever take anything else from HTC. Their next HBOOT release will probably attempt to further lockout the ability to unlock fully or downrev.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
I am kind of curious if the next phone will be locked down like Hboot 1.5 but even more with no exploit in sight. I am sure HTC is aware of the downgrade/brick technique and I also think future phones will be locked up pretty tight. I hope that is not the case and if it is HTC is going to take a hit in regards to consumers that like to have an unlocked device. I just wish the remaining carriers were GSM instead of CDMA, oh well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Toxina:
HTC Evo 3D Users : ZOMG WHEN WILL WE GET ICS?????????????!!!!!!!!!!111111

HTC's response :

http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab11/xmandeh/doigivea****.gif
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
This is definitely HTC's response. If there's one thing I like about Apple, they don't just release updates by phone. It's a widespread update to phones, tablets, even the iTunes software to sync gets an update.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I have seen this floating around, not sure what it's based on but... I'll bite. Rumors saying April 22nd (i think) for release of the Galaxy Nexus, which is ICS. Would make sense to release ICS for their other devices at that same time or shortly after. That would be "few weeks." But I guess we'll see...
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Galaxy Nexus is Samsung and has nothing to do with HTC. Samsung and HTC do not synchronize their work release timelines. In fact, I am pretty sure such a practice would be questioned by the FTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
That would never ever ever ever ever work out. Ever.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nametaken:
It is easier for them because their devices aren't as different as all the Droid devices :(

Thankfully our devs here help keep a lot of us updated :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
So how many weeks need to pass before its not "official" ? LOL jkjk
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
Well Apple only has like 3 devices...
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Well I don't know the first thing about building a ROM let alone how HTC actually builds them. I just like the work our devs put out stock that's all.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
*over stock
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I think you miss my point. Yes they're separate entities. But sprint may want to release ics for other devices with or after they have a new phone with it already on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
There is NO way HTC would take all the heat and PR hit in slowing a release of ICS just to make Sprint happy. They would point the finger to Sprint if indeed Sprint was holding it up. Especially if they were holding it up for a competitor. You obviously haven't thought it through very much. The blame rests on HTC... PERIOD.
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
Hate to disagree but it is likely Sprint that is at fault here and not HTC. Due to their system infrastructure, they are the ones that dictate when updates will roll out for devices branded with their name on it. Point and case, the update from last year released to remove the htclogging app was released in Europe several weeks before it was rolled out by Sprint. Moreover, we did not even see a leak of this new base yet it was in the works / done for a while before we got our hands on it.

We already have ROMs with 3.6 and even 4 on them. Moreover, you have an entire line up of devices coming out with sense 4 loaded which means that it is ready for primetime and i think the same applies to sense 3.6.

All in all, thank you Sprint for holding out on our promised updates. /sarcasm
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
agree with everything here....though we can't really point the finger at Sprint just yet can we? Personally I think once the GSM EVO3D gets their build and we are still waiting, then we can point and blame Sprint...

Sent via carrier pigeon
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
What you are saying here basically holds true IF there is a release done and ready... yes, sprint can hold up on a roll out. But in these cases (every time), there is a leak available and we are able to get it through our channels anyway. HTC is not going to take a fall for Sprint. If they have a release ready, and it is being held up by Sprint, they would refer you to Sprint. This is NOT the case right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Oh gawd... I wont even begin with the cheap plastic debate lol

[HTC EVO 3D] bimboy56:
We can't even get a leak. Galaxy Note just got its leaked ICS. Release it already!

EDIT: Google Translator (hehe no time to translate myself but its not that bad!):

"The update for the HTC Evo 3D on Android 4.0 is scheduled for mid May 2012. An exact release date, we have unfortunately not available. The update is over the air (OTA) sent. Once the update is available, you will be notified with a message. Then you connect best with the WiFi and download the update."
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
Because you know its 100% true? I used to own an i9100, I know for a fact they are made of super cheap plastic. Great battery cover too...

Sent via carrier pigeon
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I personally prefer HTC over Samsung, but you are wrong in thinking that plastic is a bad material for a phone. It makes it lighter and it can probably survive a fall better than most other phones.

The GSII isn't the top phone on countless tech sites for no reason. Stop being such a fanboy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Pranja:
This is part of an email that I got yesterday:

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With regards to your enquiry, kindly note that HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich updates ready, and we're excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon after by the HTC Sensation XL. In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream sandwich releases in the coming weeks.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Clear general response there....funny b/c the Vivid already has gotten its ICS update...lol

I am little bit worried about that part where it says "later this year".

Because that confirms that will come in autum as predicted.
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
Yes, hating the use of cheap tacky materials makes me a fanboy, despite the fact that Sony, Motorola and LG (among others) also use high quality materials. I must be a fanboy of them too right, according to your logic?

[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Don't know why but I'm thinking if our 3D shooter does get it a bit later than expected than we may get some extra additions (3d wise)

^ That's hopeful thinking btw. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
You're discounting one of the best phones available because of one thing. I could say that the Evo 3D is too thick, has design flaws like light leakage and frequent problems with dust getting under the screen, and that my cover doesn't even fit onto the phone correctly. The GSII has a better camera, a better screen, is thinner and lighter, and so on.

Tell me how the build quality of the phone ruins all of those features. Show me where people have complained that their phone has been easily broken due to its build.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
This. It may feel cheap, but I haven't heard anyone complain about Samsung galaxy phones period. Except maybe for touchwiz.

Except, Sammy burnt me before, so I am favoring HTC. Just can't deny great features.
[HTC EVO 3D] hzonva:
Is it coming?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Please tell me what the sgs2 or any samsung phone (that feels cheap) is made out of (the actual plastic compound/product)

ans htc while your at it (the evo 3d battery case is worse quality than samsung)

I work for a plastic company and know for a fact samsung uses some of the highest quality most expensive plastic resin (compound) for their "basic" products (i.e. cheap cameras, head phones, ect)

Highest quality in temperature/fexability/impact/static resistant)

I wanna say its like 50+ dollars a pound? If not more.... We have multiple colors and textures at our factory in 2 ton gaylord's

So im guessing they wouldnt cheap out on a $650+ phone...

Just because it feels cheap doesnt mean it is... (hence the fanboy comments from other members)

Do research before spouting off over used comments that applied a year ago....

Thanks for your well thought out opinion based completely off bias opinions instead of facts :)

-from the facebook blog you can notice it says later this years so maybe in june or start of september.

In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC EVO 3D, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks

this is from the comment section but i cant say its reliable

HTC replied to a question of a certain person who have commented on this blog that the Android 4.0 with Sense 3.6 Update for HTC Desire HD will be out on June, if that's the case, then why is that information not in this blog?

So in conclusion i think there is still a wait about a month or three. They better do it soon. Im about fed up witht he GB roms since most of them are being discontinued and becuase theres no official ics for the DHD, the ICS roms are not fully working as the GB roms. But hey, the devs have done a great work porting.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Virgin Mobile Evo 3D releases May 31st and supposedly with ICS. Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint. I think it's likely Sprint will release ICS same time or slightly before their VM version. I don't know what to say about the GSM version, but it would have to be close to that as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
1 of 2 things will happen:

#1: They release this EVO 3D on VM, and still don't have ICS for the Sprint variant.

#2: The EVO 3D on VM isn't released with ICS, and will expect and update "shortly" after it's release.

I've been with Sprint for way too long to believe otherwise.
[HTC EVO 3D] m4k4ve1icro:
I'm sick of you guys complaining. I would rather wait till end of summer and get a well built ICS then get it first and have bugy official update like Sony Xperia Neo for instance. When it hits, it hits. I just want it to be well build and smooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] oryan_dunn:
What's worse is if you have to wait till the end of summer and still get a buggy official update.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Given how smooth the VM leaked version is, I expect it within at least a month.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
I just left my sprint store and a couple of guys were picking up samsung galaxy s 2's asking the representative how to do face unlock. After about 5 minutes I let the representative know that you can't do it yet on that phone. I then let the representive know that I currently have ice cream sandwich running on my evo 3D and could show them face unlock. He said that's impossible and that ice cream sandwich has not come out yet for the eve 3D and that I was probably running stock ice cream sandwich from the galaxy nexus.

I handed him my phone and he was shocked to see sense 3.6 with ice cream sandwich 4.0.3 running on my phone fully operational.

Some sprint employees just don't get it. I told him I was sick of waiting. The point of my story I guess is to never believe anything until you actually have it.

Highly dependent on the complexity of the file and which office app you're using. Until MS makes their own Office app for non-WP devices, there are always going to be quirks.
