Checkin worked for me before and now it proved itself again, just make sure you do not clear the checkin succeeded message when you got to manually check for the update.

Also, if you leave checkin on it will automatically send update requests every 5 mins and push the update to your phone when it gets released.

I am sorry it did not work for you this time around and in the past. Hopefully it will help some of the users here.

Fingers crossed!
[HTC Sensation] PortableDave:
AU Sensation on Stock EU rom with HTC__001 cid. I'm seeing the update but when I apply I get the "Variant system version" error when it goes to apply the update. Going to try supercid and see if it makes any difference.

Edit: Nope on supercid I get no update available.
[HTC Sensation] tcuk31:
Just downloaded on UK unbranded sensation. I don't want to install yet though as am i right in thinking sky go won't work on ICS at the moment? Can someone confirm this please. Want ti watch the match tonight.
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
It definitely does not work with ics.
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Hi Guys, i have to wait to get home to download it (at work and no wi-fi) but can anyone tell me if a factory reset is needed and if so what is the best way to back up contacts, settings and apps?
[HTC Sensation] ixon2001:
Well here a couple of images of the OTA ICS update for the Sensation, also didn't somebody say with sence 3.6 ya couldn't have the smaller clock widget?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It won't work, no
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
Anyone here receive XE update?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It was always known you have the 4x1 clock widget in 3.6

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

I would recommend a reset after updating to make sure it goes smooth...contacts/settings should be restored if you have them sync'd with your Gmail account and apps should download again once you sign into the Market but you'll lose app data
[HTC Sensation] highwayman57:
ota just received on stock Sensation on TMouk

Came up this afternoon and currently downloading.
[HTC Sensation] happyslayeruk:
Nothing for me yet. Debranded O2 Sensation XE with Super CID.
[HTC Sensation] Fulwood Sedge:
No update for my XE yet though :(

(very hopeful thinking) if the unbranded stock sensations are now getting the update then hopefully sensation XE's are to follow shortly :) (hopefully hopeful :P)
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Cheers Eddy, my contacts are sync'd with google account but when i go to settings ->accounts & Sync -> google there is no settings. How do i sync my settings with my google account?

TMO UK - XE unbraded HTC__001

still nowt, even after checkin :(
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
They're not part of the options, they are done automatially (like WiFi settings, sound preferences, etc.)
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Cheers eddy and i presume a hard reset it power off the volume up and power button?

[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Just tried this on my sim free unbranded XE, still a no show for me.
[HTC Sensation] Gstar2006:
From HTC support today :

"The device in question is still registered as an Indian phone. Because of this, even if you have changed the ROM version the ICS update would not be pushed to the device. Updates are done via the IMEI number and thus this device wont be picked up."

If your IMEI isn't in a pool that HTC have decided to push the update to then you're bang out of luck.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Until O2 have released it you wont get anything mate as it's down to your IMEI not CID. HTC confirmed to me today.

My phone is unbranded running Stock EU HTC ROM with CID HTC__001 but won't get it as the phone is on the system at HTC as being Indian!
[HTC Sensation] FreakyDR:
i just flashed 1.50 ruu and changed cid to 001 and downloading the update now...
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
downloading now on my unbranded UK Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Surely if the the handset was bought SIM free, unbranded, it'd have nothing to do with the network it's on....
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It won't, but if you bought it branded then it obviously would
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
It's more the network it's not on. Vodafone still seem to have an exclusive deal for upgrades. Though unbranded handsets in the UK are getting updates today, other carriers should also follow now.
[HTC Sensation] elmoono:
Downloading now, sensation unbranded. Also done a factory reset and cleared sd card first owing to issues posted on the net with some updated sensations - wifi/net/battery use etc - just in case! (its an old windows phobia, clean install best!!)

Update - it downloaded while i typed, 3mins 296mb - fast, now installing!

Update: install took about 10 mins, few reboots, quick optimisation - back up and running. I will now put my data back, sync contacts etc - I will slowly add my apps over the comming days to monitor for any battery/memory issues with them.
[HTC Sensation] Gstar2006:
What was your phone origin? Was it carrier branded or an unbranded originally?

Is it a sensation or an XE also?

Where did you get 1.50RUU as I could only find "RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.EXE"
[HTC Sensation] FreakyDR:
sorry for half info :)

my phone is not xe therefor it is 1.50 ruu, and the source is unknown to say the truth, bought it from amazon...
[HTC Sensation] pride429:
Exactly what I am doing (old habits die hard & I recall the old HTC HD2 ROM flashing days where conflicts crept in if a proper clean install wasn't done)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Installing now. About time!
[HTC Sensation] BobKatz:
No UK Unbranded XE update yet.
[HTC Sensation] EmperorK:
The main reason I wanted this was mainly for better memory manageMent, but alas, sense keeps closing
[HTC Sensation] apmullen:

[HTC Sensation] Laird_Attwood:

[HTC Sensation] d3bing:

Guys,

I can also confirm I got the update today.

Unbranded Sensation bought in UK, CID 001, using a Brazilian SIM and I'm in Brazil.

Cheers lads!
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Still no xe update out there, folks?
[HTC Sensation] rikwebb:
not for me yet bud!
[HTC Sensation] lonelykatana:
nah, still nout here too.

Im sick of waiting now :p

Downloaded ICS today and all working apart from bluetooth keeps turning on and Gallery does not find the photos already on the memory card. Strange.

Unbranded Sensation UK.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okur90:
5 months into my 2 year contract with my S2 and running Cyanogenmod 9. I really like AOSP and wish I got the Galaxy Nexus. Right now, I can sell the S2 for £240 and get the GNex for £370. But I can't justify the £130 difference. All I would get is a working camcorder and and an amazing screen for poorer battery life, camera and no sd support.

Convince me.

Worst phone ever. The screen is too small, and the battery can never get me through a four a day voyage without my charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raisone:
How was it...

oh yeah, don´t feed the troll!

Nah, seriously... there is already a lot of information and comparatives between both phones... so... just take a little time researching and you´ll find your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mawdo:
You're making the biggest in your entire life to buy this phone! why do you need it in the first place?

NOTE : before buying it , prepare your Funeral first and then the extra remaining money , you can use it to buy the Gnex because after buying it you may have a heart attack!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Anybody asking to be convinced to buy anything, might also like being told what to do. Get an iphone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drift spunk:
Convince yourself and and if the gnex isn't for you then good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
There are a lot of threads in this forum about the pros and cons of this phone and comparing it to the gs2. If you don't have enough patience to find them, please don't buy the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anfozy:
dont get an nexus theyre ****

get an action pad from the asian steve jobs sooo much better!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
It's a good phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okur90:
Wow. So much flaming and name calling. I've done my research, I know the difference between the Spec sheets. I just wanted to get an idea about how people are liking the galaxy nexus, the daily user experience, battery life, build quality, stock ics, the screen and so on. Instead I got lots of sarcasm.

OK I get the main idea. Mods feel free to close thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Buy the Galaxy Nexus, you're on XDA, so you'll enjoy it a lot more and the dev support will definitely outlast the GSII

The title of this thread is why you're getting stick. Nobody needs to convince anyone, do your research. There is plenty of information available and then make your decision. Nobody will hold your hand and kiss your boo boo if your fingers get burnt from a bad decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
i had an S2 and sold it earlier in the year as i got a free Xperia Ray which i thought i'd be happy with but yesterday i got a really good deal on a mint Nexus.. and i couldnt be happier. Battery life seems pretty much consistent with my S2, i left it charged over night, took it off charge at 6.15 and im at 52% now, thats with listening to music on the way to work and some web browsing and probably a little more than average playing with it as its new. I am pretty happy with that. The Ray for such a small phone was actually worse for me in terms of battery life.. maybe it was the widgets etc I had installed.

As for advantages over the s2? for me its the missing Samsung logo from the front :) never liked that.. and there is a nice feeling to knowing its a 'pure' android experience.. my S2 was full of bloatware that could only be deleted by rooting. I dont take pictures really with the phone so im not in anyway dissapointed with the camera on the nexus. It is a little bulkier than the s2 but i like the shape and feel.. i cant imagine using a bigger phone though.. its the full of my hand when holding it..

in terms of performance i cant see there being much in it between the s2 and this..

Its all down to individual preference really.. a few s2 owners i've showed it to say they would miss the physical home button etc.. and the headphone socket on the bottom means you need to turn it upside down in your shirt pocket..

Also the lack of sd slot is a downside.. i dont mind it.. but it would have been nice to have the option to stick a 32gb card in there.. or at least make 32gb the standard internal memory..

So far no complaints..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okur90:
Thank you very much for the detailed response. :)
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
have I got to calibrate battery everytime I update a rom or flash a zip?

or just when I change rom?
[HTC Sensation] davebugyi:
Only when changing the ROM, but it is not always necessary.
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
and, is necessary to reflash the bravia engine everytime I update my rom? or zips like that
[HTC Sensation] davebugyi:
If the ROM does not contain the Bravia Engine then yes. Look in the ROM's description for these informations.
[HTC Sensation] Sigg1996:
Wiping battery stats have no effect. Just charge it to full and use it for a couple of cycles to calibrate it. No need to wipe the stats.
[HTC Sensation] FrenzyGr:
Actually it has, for me after some modding arround with battery i charged my phone and it stuck at 99% and kept charging forever and i noticed a touch lag, i re calibrated and went to 100% with a green light showing its not charging anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scorp88:
I just recently got an epic 4g touch. how do i receive new modem updates without rooting the phone. My last update was EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
You won't receive any modem updates until it's offical and pushed by sprint, but you could download the modem and odin it onto your phone without rooting it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
There http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/29/value-packs-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-starts-rolling-out/ . Hopefully is a good update.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] redflash52:
I hope they will make a relase for i9003 soon ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
It seems easy to be ported. Hope a developer ports to scl until they release it for us
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chickentuna:
our devs are busy porting CM9;). But it would be great if we can have that value pack update in the meantime while waiting for the CM9 port. It will give us something to play around:D. I've read somewhere that the i9003 will also get this update won't it?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
As I thought it was not released anything today, and may it won't be released not even later. Damn Samsung. I cant understand why for samsung galaxy s i9000 the value pack was released, and for our device nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
The new value pack update would be containing TOUCHWIZ 4...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
Value pack has been released for Galaxy W as well...

I think we'll be getting it soon enough :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
I hope too. I heard this value pack is a great stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
gosh i hope they fix the gpu performance and atleast switch to ondemand as default governor instead of conservative

almost on all sammy devices ondemand is deafault , and it gives good performnce on stock rom, conservative lags a lot

ofcourse we can root
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Possibly, We can be expecting the Value pack in the secon-third week of april! ;)

The sammy service centre guy said!

For Europe.

And, Indian upgrade, by June End!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deepanshu sharma:
From where did you hear that it will have touchwiz 4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
I think Samsung Confirmed it in one of it's tweets loong back.

They said "I9000 will have TW4."

Not I9003 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
I think it has tw3.Cos i saw a video of the value pack of i9000 and if im not wrong it had tw3
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Maybe!

But, I remember them tweeting about it when they cancelled the ICS update.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
Then maybe i might have gotten confused :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
The value pack for our device should be the same with i9000. Thats just my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
check out some latest video of Galaxy S value pack...

You ll see that it has TW4..

for another confirmation, you can check out comments on the news about "galaxy S value pack rolling out" on samfirmware.com...., there you will see people mentioning about TW4...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
Then I must have got confused :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Happeneds.

Now, ALl we have to do is wait wait wait.

Then Port port port. (Port of themes, mods and ROM to value pack)

Then, Test test test.(Test the Above)

Then, Make Stable stable stable. :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] StifMaster:

he is level 3 engineer..means just level 4 above him..

wen i had bought my first phone.. sammy ace.. i ws scared of loosing warranty as a result off rooting.. i asked him bro.what is rooting?? and any problms and warranty and bla bla...

he gave me an EPIC reply..

Rooting means.. when u tk out the battry and put it back in and RE(B)OOT the phone...!!

Since thn i ROOt.. and if needed to visit service centr i dont bother to go back to stock even.. :P

Beyond this, with this firmware, we could receive a huge help with Cm9 camera, i heard dhiru and others developer are waiting for this value pack
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
yep,dhiru posted it himself.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rockyddroid:
I think Face Unlock is a pretty cool feature.

I am waiting for that!!!;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] santoshsadani009:
Yes. They have tweaked it so that it follows the blink of eyes of user. Definitely flawless and good feature.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Hey dude, what exactly are the new things in the value pack.. Have there been any performance upgrades.. Just curious..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] prince_venom:
We Dont need to Port this Value Pack LOL...

Coz Sammy Gonna give Value pack to All Galaxy S1 Series including i9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
I just wish Sammy Boy would give as an official ICS update instead... Nah! Sammy Boy won't do that....

I find it awkward though... Developers can port ICS to a device... But the creators (of the device) cannot port ICS to it... Pretty damn that Sammy Boy pulls out support from a device too soon.. The fact that they are still selling "unsupported" devices :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Mainly because there are people who want to buy an android and dont care about its version.

Samsung Sells its "unsupported phones" because their price will go down once the ICS comes and a Newbie to Android would buy these phones at a lesser price than buying an ICS-Support-One :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
http://www.sammobile.com/wp-content...-Gingerbread-Feature-Upgrade-FAQ-Ver-3.0.pptx there is the guide about value pack. Check it out if u want more info about it, Required PowerPoint.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
Yeah your right... Those phones are probably cheaper (our phone is one of them)... ICS phones are quite costly too (your right again :) )... I am just glad there is an ICS rolling out for our device...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chickentuna:
aaand i fell for it and bought the i9003 lol. Damn Samsung trap. But i have no regrets as I am happy with the phone. That's all that matters ICS or no ICS I am happy.
