[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
But us and the Sensation are the same phone except we have 1GB ram and an extra camera. There shouldn't be THAT much to handle as opposed to the Sensation. THe only reason it's taking this long is the One X coming out. We're the same hardware as the Sensation, which has ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
how would you feel if you owned the Rezound which came out after the 3D and didn't get your ICS update till after it?...they have too many devices to support thats the problem. it takes a TON of time to do to their liking and make sure its all good to go...
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Or its the politics of updating the EVO in a Sprint environment that wants everyone to move to the next big phone as opposed to waiting for their own phone to get the update? The 3D is just a line of code HTC has to add but yet they make us wait. It's all a game to sell more phones of HTC and Sprint, believe that.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
My problem is not the length of the update, my problem is that they are not , along with most other oems, keeping us up to date on the progress. All they say is "coming soon" or "later this year". If they would at least make a half assed effort to communicate then it'd put a lot of people a little more at ease
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
has NOTHING to do with that...people that bought the 3D can't buy the LTE device unless they pay full price or are using their last premier gold upgrade...the # included in that last group are likely slim too...With yearly upgrades to everyone I can see the logic in doing it that way. But with that gone it makes no sense...Esp since you can't go buy a 3D anymore at dirt cheap since its EOL so as a new customer its either buy the new LTE or get some totally different phone, which doesn't matter b/c your a new customer and it makes no difference what you purchase long as you sign the contract for 2yrs...thats all they care about.

So really 3D owners are meaningless to them now if they have ICS or not b/c them having ICS isn't going to stop them from upgrading and re-signing a new contract b/c for the most part they can't....less they are premier gold and using their last yearly upgrade...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
that there is a double edge sword...if they miss the dates they initially project and tell everyone, they will NEVER hear the end of it...So many things can happen that could cause an update to get delayed and missing a date is something companies in general do not like doing...
[HTC EVO 3D] cityeyes:
True, but they can always update on their progress without giving us a concrete ETA.

Like "Hey, the rom is in testing right now, we hit a snag so it's going to be a bit longer, but we're working on it!" instead of "Hey, it's coming out sometime in Spring and we are going to give you the bare minimum of information on the update."

It's one thing to keep the eta under wraps because idiots on the internet will ***** endlessly when it isn't hit, it's another thing to give us virtually no info aside from "it's coming out" and expect us not to wonder what's going on.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Exactly what Cityeyes meant. Sorry for being a bit vague. Anyhow yes I just wish they'd let us know what was up with their development to reassure the slightly paranoid users that they ARE working on it; no need for specific ETA's (developers and modders on XDA hate when people ask, why shouldn't they?). It just ruins a customer expierence when you have to send an email, or pester on Twitter to receive an answer like "Coming soon"
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Not sure if anyone saw this on Engadget. It's outlining T-Mobile's ICS roll-out. Sensation and Amaze both getting the update on June 16th.

funny story, told everyone, that we should expect june or even july to get ics and all the people said, noooo april or may for sure.... i think i got the right one ;)

i knew it, that htc forgot the evo and focussed on the one series and the sensation....sad but true
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
You were guessing a release just like anyone else. I said it'll be here in August.Does that me me a prophet?
[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
If T-Mobile is doing rollouts for the Sensation on June 16th (far past HTC's "March" release schedule) then I'd assume it would much later (isn't GSM always quicker to update? I could be wrong...).

Now with the nearly complete Sense 4 ROM and Unicorn M5 release, Sense 3.6 update doesn't seem like such a big deal now, save for some camera functionality.

I'm speaking for myself only, I know a lot of people still would like an official ICS update and I agree, but I guess it'll just happen when it does.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
GSM typically is....BUT....the CDMA EVO3D was released before it so that might play a factor in the time table some...

Wasn't there a GSM or overseas version of the EVO4G? when did that get the GB update?...
[HTC EVO 3D] Zaffobaffo:
ICS Sense 3.6 ?

When the Rom will be relased, how much time will need to transform sense 3.6 in 4.0, I hate no transition effect :mad:... sorry for bad english :(

I feel like HTC thinks we are suckers. These companies must love this. Shows we are hooked in their product. We can get ice cream sandwhich but not sense 3.6 or 4.0 which puts HTC on the Haha I got you by the balls. We can ***** we will go to other companies but let's face it sprint is cheap and HTC got great products. We can wait like horny virgins or we can buy the hooker ( newest phone ).

According to Digitimes sources, Samsung has won the contract for Google’s next phone. They report, ”Since Samsung has become the top vendor of Android smartphones, Google will continue to have Samsung develop its next-generation Nexus models, leveraging Samsung’s innovation ability with regard to the Android platform, and its ability to control the supply of key components.”

Um, I don't think I'd say Samsung has been the top vendor of Android. It's good, but HTC is still good. It's a tough decision to choose which is the best off the top of our minds. So, hopefully Google paid a lot of thought into that last comment saying that Samsung has been the top vendor. Imo

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
If the Sprint/HTC/ICS update made the EVO 3D's camera atleast HTC Sensation fast & fix the dreaded white-balancing & saturation, I'd probably keep it around another year or 6 months & pass on the 4G LTE.

I hope ICS comes out by June, the longer it takes, the better. I like my software well-done.

GSM will most likely get it a month or so before CDMA will, so you guys need to hurry up and get it :p

No. Because the OTA updates come based on IMEI and phone ID. The IMEI tells HTC which phone is branded/not branded.

Hopefully the rumors of us getting ICS mid may becomes reality. (GSM more likely)

And one of the main things is that, HTC should release the source code / drivers for our phone on the same day as the ICS update so the developers can finally get to release a fully functioning awesome rom :)

[HTC EVO 3D] domon07:
so what if they don't put sense 4.0 but Sense 3.6 instead? I'm sure devs can port Sense 4.0 to our device. If HTC updates our phone with sense 4.0, what's the point of selling new phones with ICS and Sense 4.0 from HTC if you can get the cheap old one with the same feels and looks like the newer one? we're lucky coz we're getting an update and HTC didn't wanna get us left behind with ICS so people stop ranting. And to those who wants to switch to Samsung, just think about this, HTC have more phones to support than Samsung so it's not that easy for them to develop an update. if you don't want your phone anymore, don't blame the mobile companies, you're the one who bought it and no one forces you to do so.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
oh so negative sid... lol....

first of all people.

the speculation about ICS is wearing out our brains. here are some simple facts, you figure out the rest...

Evo 3D = still front runner of sprint's line-up as far as hardware goes.

Evo 3D = in line to eventually get ICS. HTC has stated this a bajillion fuggin times already. there is no debate on that. it will get ICS. or some form of it. the name of the damn software version doesn't mean ****, as long as the code is there.

some more facts...

sprint is getting the HTC 1... i have talked to sprint reps about this in stores where a rep from HTC actually came and talked to them in a big meeting about this device, it is coming.

the date of the HTC 1 coming to sprint, is what will determine the date that the Evo 3D will get ICS...

here is why...

They are both great devices, talking hardware here. which means many people will find it hard to justify a 200 dollar "new" device, with the same hardware specifictions other than the camera, running the same OS as the one on display sitting next to it for 50 bucks....

this is what will happen. bookmark this post....

sprint is a fuggin business. they want money. nothing more. think like they do, and you can pretty easily determine when ICS will be released...

smart business move = hold off on update for Evo 3D, wait for HTC 1 to hit shelves, sell the **** out of it for a couple months, then push an ICS update to the older device after HTC 1 has been out for a while.

bad business move = give everybody an ICS upate right before a newer device drops, increasing sales of that cheaper device, and locking people into contracts, without an available upgrade.... crippling sales of HTC 1, simply because people will not pay full price for it... they will want the deal at 200...

at least two months after HTC 1 drops onto the shelves at your local sprint store... that's when you will see an update.

i'd best go and make a thread speculating about the HTC 1 now.....
[HTC EVO 3D] PlayPetepp:
That's all very nice and neat, fine and dandy, but what about unbranded phones? Lots of people bought their phones carrier free, why should they wait for HTC 1 or Sprint? They actually don't give a rats a$$ about them. They bought an expensive phone and want promised updates. Don't think Sprint is the only company that sells mobile phones in the world.

It's gonna get released for sure, no doubt about that. Question is will it already be too late when it does.

-. typewrited .-
[HTC EVO 3D] SaintJimmy76:
Can't fault that logic & you're correct that it is smart business. But your logic is based on all competitors agree to that business plan.

It could also be said that its smart business to offer customer friendly service. If a provider becomes known for simple service plans, unlimited data, and/or properly updated devices that provider would do quite well.

The main reason I'm with Sprint/HTC was my experience with Tmobile/Samsung. Not sure who deserves the blame but I waited nearly a year for the froyo update...after being promised from day 1 that the Vibrant would be getting froyo'd. So I figured I'd give Sprint/HTC a shot...can't be much worse than Samsung.

It's a new wildfire basically.

And its because its NEW. HTC already said somewhere it didn't want existing customers to have too many changes on an update...
[HTC EVO 3D] tkipcic:
Well i just want ICS , i like the slight cosmetic change in sense 3.6 and personally i think sense 4.0 has a really rudimentary feel to it , i dont like the look of new flip clock and several other stuff like miniature dockbar so its quite reasonable from them to not change sense to 4.0 for existing users ....I aswell have carrier free Evo 3D and i really dont get it why does it take so much time to add 3D functonality to Sensations version of software since rest of the hardware is basically the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
I have been saying exactly what you just stated here since January because I know after being with Sprint for several years about their backward thinking. Simply put....we Sprint 3d users will NOT see ICS until after the EVO LTE drops. Period.....

The problem with this reasoning however, is that no one outside the tech/dev community cares about or even knows about ICS and different versions of Sence for that matter. We (the tech/dev community) account for anywhere from 2-5% of all users. On top of that, a good deal of us (tech/dev community) are going to upgrade to the LTE anyway for no other reason but to have a new new toy to root and mod, so their "business" decision is in fact moot and kinda stupid reasoning.

Executives and or those resposible for these decisions are actually out of touch with what the masses want, the general public don't give a rats ass about whether their phone has ICS and it won't influence their decision on whether or not to upgrade to a newer device....they simply upgrade to obtain that "shiny new hardware" to try to impress others and just want a phone that just works as intended.

And seriously? What purpose did this remark even serve! Just goes to show that Americans are not the only ones that can be asses.....
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I've always wondered,

Do GSM Evo's get updates the same time as we do? You'd think that HTC would release it to GSM Evos right after it's done testing and sent to Sprint. If that's the case, since GSM doesnt have ICS yet, that would mean HTC isn't even done making the update...
[HTC EVO 3D] TheIntruder:

[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
No, I'm not saying that at all. Unbranded GSM users will almost certainly get ICS before CDMA or branded GSM users. If you have an unlocked 3d, there is no need of carrier approval and added bloatware. Same thing happening with Sensation users. EU Sensations already have their ICS but US TMobile users are still waiting on....TMobile to add their crap and stamp of approval.

So in short, I honestly do hope you get your update soon. It's ridiculous for any of us to have to wait for something that was originally promised back in November to come in "early first quarter".
