Dear .........,

Thank you for your email regarding your Evo 3D.

My name is Adam and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.

In regards to your querys, the device would need to come back to the UK to be repaired.

The ICS update has no official release date for the Evo 3D yet, we expect the update to have been pushed out to all relevant devices by the end of May.

I am sorry that your device is not in a perfect condition at this time. I would like to arrange for your phone to be repaired in our UK Repair Centre. Please read the following instructions carefully. By proceeding with the repair you agree to the terms and conditions of the repair service.

During repair, we will install the latest software as part of the diagnosis and testing. All the data from the phone will be lost, except for data stored on the SD card, SIM card, or online services, if applicable. If this is possible please check our online Help pages on how to backup your data.

Do not send the SD Memory Card, SIM Card, Battery, Back covers and other accessory items included or not in the product's box. All we need is the bare device. We can’t be held liable for any of these being sent in as they won’t be returned...
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
So all these emails are from HTC saying when they will release ICS for the 3D but none from Sprint saying anything about ICS and the Sprint EVO 3D... Unless I missed it...

[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
They have ICS as LEAKS. At least within the US. I know some of the other Sensation models have gotten official upgrades. We don't have a leak because we have no one to get it for us. It's not that the 3D gets no love, it's just that we don't have a leak..
[HTC EVO 3D] FORZEF:
We need to go to the HTC elevate, get HTC sensation test firmware from there
[HTC EVO 3D] Will972:
Well it's crazy to see that tons of htc got ics leaked shared by programmer or something like that from htc and nothin' for evo 3d.. it's a real bullshitt.. sensation,sensation xl, amaze,vivid and rezound got their ics .. why they don't share it for evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Because they can get fired for it? Probably even brought to court.

There may not even be an RUU for it yet.

After a long line of HTC product purchases, the evo 3D and View killed it for me.. never buying another HTC product again..

I got bored last night and just like everyone else, I decided to bother HTC with another WHERE'S MY ICS! e-mail. Here was the response I got. Probably (very likely) just a stock response.

Dear Ken,

Thanks for getting ahold of us about Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for your HTC EVO 3D!

I'm excited to see, Ken, that you are set to get the ICS update. I'm looking forward to it too! In addition to being instrumental in keeping up to date, it's got a terrific look and some cool new features.

What I would suggest at this point is to stay tuned into the social networking sites linked below for more information about the upcoming update. Unfortunately, I don't yet have an actual date of release to provide for you, but rest assured that when it's ready for your phone, you'll get a notification that will pop up and ask you to update.

Another thing you could do Ken is to register for the YOU Club to receive the exclusive YOU Club newsletter with the latest news and offers from HTC. You can do that here: https://secure.htc.com/us/you-club/join-you-club

I'm very sorry to say that I don't have more information for you. I can certainly understand how disheartening it can be to be asked to wait for such a highly anticipated update. This being said though, between the YOU Club and the social networks, you'll be in a great position to get the latest news as soon as it happens!

Have an awesome day and enjoy the rest of your week, Ken!

[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
There's been enough of this specific post made already, please refrain from adding more of the useless HTC automated responses.
[HTC EVO 3D] m00nelph:
Don't get me wrong, its with a heavy heart that I leave HTC as I've had nothing but good to say about them till recently.

Then I upgraded my OG evo to the 3D and picked up the Evo View and those two devices, for various reasons have just soured me a bit.

Both were touted as "flagship" products and both were kicked to the curb so quickly afterwards it made my head spin.

Neither device's hardware is at fault, well my 3d has terrible reception but its the lack of support from HTC that really irks me.

The only saving grace to those two devices is this AMAZING community of Developers (thank you devs!) that work selflessly to overcome shortcomings that HTC should be putting much more effort into.

Of course there's more profit in focusing on new products so we get left waiting to get an official ICS release. :rolleyes:

(starting to really doubt the Evo View will ever see ICS from HTC)

Ultimately I've come to realize that since I prefer aosp/aokp ICS on my devices and its HTC's Sense stuff that adds a large part of the delay to Android version upgrades that I would probably be happier with a Nexus and since Samsung makes the Nexus.

So sadly I must take leave of camp HTC when my upgrades ready in June, its that or I get the EVO LTE and go back to the game of waiting for it to be rooted then aosp ported to it etc. so I can simply have the device the way I would like it.. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
It sucks that you've had a change of heart and I wish you better luck with your other devices. I on the other hand will likely never buy anything except HTC for a long long time ( well LG makes a good product also).

Now Samsung does make one hell of a line of TVs and BluRay players, I just think they can't make Android stuff to save their life (Samsung Moment anyone?).
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
M00nelph if you get the gn its a nice device girlfriend got it on release day traded in her gsii gets better reception from what we have been able to tell then the gsii and ics is nice. I don't care what people say about the hw being outdated or device has been out 6 months it still holds it own.

[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Yeah I love HTC too but it just might be time to jump ship as well. As far as rooting the LTE, I don't see how they will really be able too. I mean what r u supposed to do if ur stuck in a bootloop and can't pull the battery? Not sure if warranty will cover that lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
Volume up and down and power. That's what I do on my tablet. Bur may I remind the HTC unlock method. No downgrade for LTE so root will prolly be half ass. My next May be a new brand.:)
[HTC EVO 3D] powduh09:
Oh come on... It's already been said, they will have a workaround for bootloop... There will have to be a way for HTC and other repair companies to recover bricks, otherwise they better be building a completely idiot proof phone...
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
People keep saying this,but there are other options besides a battery pull. On the Flyer/View we don't have removable batteries either. You just hold down Volume - for a few seconds,then hold down power simultaneously for a bit longer. Reboots into bootloader for ya. Had to do it a few times on my Flyer.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Well hopefully it works on the LTE too.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
Hell temp root will be fine for me...I am fine running stock I just need wireless hot spot unlocked
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
It will no worries. There's a way on the OneX which is basically the same device.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Thats because all they do is read what someone else has said and keep copying and pasting it everywhere, instead of actually finding out the truth. Thats how so much bad information keeps getting spread all over the place.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Yeah, it's just misinformation accompanied by too lazy to investigate. It's just a common concern from people that have never owned a device without a removable battery. Some pull their batteries a lot and are afraid that since the battery cannot be removed there must be no way to reboot. But like you said instead of checking on it lost people just repost the same stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] piook:
If you are right?

If you are right then this is absolute BS!

8 months after ICS was released!!! And I think we can assume that HTC had ICS before it was released.

Google needs to tell these OEMs (and Carriers) that if they want the google Apps and all the other perks they get for working with Google on this, that they all need to release major revisions within 3 months of the Update being open sourced/released for all phones/tablets less than 18 months old at the time of new version release/open sourced. And if the OEM cannot comply then at least force the OEMs to open source ALL drivers for their hardware so Devs that care about us that care about such things can get rolling on the updates themselves.

And what happened to the Android Update Alliance?

That is one thing I love about IOS. if your phone is less than 2 gens behind you get the update. All at once. keep the carriers out of it!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I don't think you understand how software updating cycles work. They can't just copy and paste what Google gives them and push it out to us. They have to test the hell out of it and prepare it for the masses of the market to use. It's not like it is here where someone can release a ROM riddled with various bugs of all types and call it a day. If they did that they'd be discredited as a company. You have to realize that it isn't just people like us that will get this update; it is EVERYBODY who uses an Evo 3D or a Sensation or a Vivid or a Rezound. They can't release the update and expect us to test it and fix it for them. That isn't how it works.

Once they polish it, test it thoroughly, and make sure that it is ready for everyone to use, they'll release it. Releasing it before that would be detrimental to the company and its users. I don't like waiting either, but it's just a fact of life. You have to be patient unless you want a half-finished product.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I think we can assume that HTC had ICS before it was released.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they didn't.

Google needs to tell these OEMs (and Carriers) that if they want the google Apps and all the other perks they get for working with Google on this, that they all need to release major revisions within 3 months of the Update being open sourced/released for all phones/tablets less than 18 months old at the time of new version release/open sourced.

Well firstly, Google wouldn't benefit at all from doing this and I'm pretty sure google apps are open source/free to use by everybody along with the Android OS. If google did this, manufacturers would steer away from Android.

And if the OEM cannot comply then at least force the OEMs to open source ALL drivers for their hardware so Devs that care about us that care about such things can get rolling on the updates themselves.

While having access to the hardware drivers will be beneficial to their devs, HTC does not have to do this. AFAIK google cannot and WILL NOT ever do this. This would just cause manufacturers to steer away from Android more.

And what happened to the Android Update Alliance?

All that required was for manufacturers to update their device if an update is released with 18 months of the device's release. Hell, I don't think they even had to even if they agreed to it.

That is one thing I love about IOS. if your phone is less than 2 gens behind you get the update. All at once. keep the carriers out of it!

For Apple, they are writing software for a specific phone and phones extremely similar to it. Because of this, they can just test it on one device and push it to all the others with minimal more testing required. Then they can roll out the updates without involving the carriers since carriers can't add their bloat.

For Android, google is writing their update for the Galaxy Nexus. Then HTC takes the update and has to add the drivers and compatibility stuff which can take a while. Then they have to add a whole overlay (HTC Sense) which contains way more code than you think. They have to bug test, fix bugs, repeat the process until it is ready. Still, they have to wait a few weeks and run it to make sure it is completely working and no/little bugs are left. But wait! It's not over! The update is now given to the carrier where the carrier will add bloat and bug test it. This can take 1-2 months. Then you finally get your update. They have to do this with every phone they want to update, and they have a bunch of phones that are due for ICS.

If you don't like this and want quick updates, go get a pure google phone or an iPhone. You knew good and well that when you bought an HTC phone it would take a while to get updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikejones13:
So is Sprint considered a discredited company. I do recall several times in the past and most recent was a year ago, that they did release a ROM full of bugs to the LG Optimus S.

It took almost a full year to fix the problems with the update ROM. Sprint had to have the users downgrade their phones to Froyo from the GB screw up. People still went out and bought the phone so I don't see it as being detrimental to sprint or discrediting Sprint in any way.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
LG is the one who gave the buggy ROM to Sprint. Sprint is a carrier, not a developer, so they couldn't do anything about LG's bugs.

And are you sure Sprint is the one that had people downgrade their phones? I'm pretty sure it was LG that send a software downgrade. And it would have probably been detrimental/discrediting to LG - I don't think many of those users will buy another LG phone after having to go through that.

Remember, LG is not as big a company as HTC/Samsung, so they will make mistakes like this.

isn't EVO Design 4G on Boost mobile?

Inviato dal mio PG86100 utilizzando Tapatalk
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
It is for boost, but it says Sprint as well? Idk
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
I don't ENTIRELY agree with this. I came from a iPhone 3g. The updated iOS's they released killed the phone, because they were trying to push-on options the newer phones had. In reality, the phone just couldn't handle it. Their iOS updates honestly made the phone unable to use.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
how similar is the Design to ours? Would we be able to use the kernel in our ports to get stuff like data and camera working on our ICS roms?
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Design might have same wimax radio but that's about it, wvga screen I believe, single core and half the ram
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Looked it up and you're right about everything else but it does have qHD screen. At least the wimax libraries may help. I'm itching so bad for ICS. I almost bought an iPhone off contract yesterday ($750!!!). Hopefully something slips out soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
The Design has 960x540 screen. Honestly with its leak we should have a good base to port over that should have WiMax, just probably no camera.

The design is actually a nice phone, has a similar camera to the Amaze, f/2.2 lens, got em for my parents, that camera is way better then the one in the 3d thats for sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
I kinda liked the design of the phone.... Being serious here, I didn't know that about the camera and that would be pretty cool having a wimax capable sense 3.6, my bad about the screen, was going off memory lol
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Well, looks like I need to head up to my local Sprint store and slingshot my phone at the first Sprint rep I see...
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
The true testing phase is more likely than not LG's burden, which would make them almost wholly responsible for the issue. Sprint can be blamed partially because they released it like that, but I doubt that they do much testing themselves other than to put their bloatware on there. It's not Sprint's job to do that, it falls to the OEM's. Sadly, Sprint gets a lot of blame too.

Well the wait for this started to annoy me so I'm jumping ship for the S2 which is reasonably cheap on the 'bay atm. The devs here do an awesome job but I'm finding the 3d just isn't worth potential battery drain through hitting the switch by accident, and prevents functionality in anything other than sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
If you like the sense interface, you are really going to miss your 3D. I went S2 for a while but came back to a 3D as I really, really missed sense. I love the interface and widgets. There are a ton of S2 ROMs but they are all rebuilds of the stock TW interface... The S2 is blazing fast, though, and the screen is fantastic. Just my .02... Sense rules.
