[Desire HD General] soleil10:
greetings. maybe get the upgrade for Vodafone users in 12hours. MAYBE.
[Desire HD General] xUniverse:
why in 12Hours ???

and why brand phone befor unbrand phone?
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:

[Desire HD General] lrm537:
Is this based on anything other than your best guess?

Sent from my overworked Desire HD
[Desire HD General] soleil10:
Just from Vodafone Australia who told us the testing can not be for more than one week. Since they have been testing the upgrade at least from the 11th July, they would give the results in the Update Weekly Wrap of 18th in 10 hours. Am I right?
[Desire HD General] callmemycool:
Oh, God... Don't belive them to much ;) A week has wide and "relative" meaning. Quoting Hunter S. Thompson (actually Benicio del Toro in "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"): "They lie to us, man! They lie to us..." ;-) Anyway – I hope we'll get a Vodafone update in a few hours :D
[Desire HD General] angramenyu:
We are getting ICS! It doesn't matter when... But we are getting it!
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
We may be getting ICS, I just want a leak of the Telus DHD RIL and radio.
[Desire HD General] 13770147:
Obviously we are going to receive ICS for DHD.

We just need to wait and keep eye on them...:D

Lets see wat will happen this weekend.
[Desire HD General] 13770147:
Possibly August 31st,,,

Dats okay for me.
[Desire HD General] soleil10:
you are very 'optimist'.
[Desire HD General] robinmobile:
At 23:59?
[Desire HD General] motherninja:
The more we keep "crying" in this thread, the longer HTC will hold the ICS update, because who knows somebody at HTC HQ keep an eye on this thread and they just laugh at us.

Just let's hope Virtuous Team release their Sense 4.0 ROM, so we can say, "screw you HTC!" :D
[Desire HD General] commando0:
htc is already screwed ......

just never think of htc when buying a phone .....
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
You have a phone which was released TWO years ago which will be updated to ICS, albeit slightly late, what exactly is your problem with HTC please point me at other manufacturers who update two year old phones without delay.
[Desire HD General] cybersquad:
I am with you on this! Even I am using this phone for 1.5 years along with blackberry and Nokia! This one is best performer!
[Desire HD General] K.Chan:
last time it took them a month to test the GB, never never trust vodafone...
[Desire HD General] kore_sar:
According to this link http://androidaustralia.com.au/2012...-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-coming-to-your-phone/

DHD won't get ICS ever.

How much true is the statement?

UPD:

Seems like the statement is false: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-s...tting-ics-refutes-reports-update-cancellation
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I call BS no sources and ALL lists I've seen from HTC, not carriers, still feature the DHD
[Desire HD General] Wekkel:
Introduction date Desire HD

Actually, the Desire HD's introduction date was around September 2010, I think. ICS is already out for some time, so the question of upgrade to ICS is already there for the same period. So in essence, the question boils down to whether consumers may expect their device of - at that time - some 1,5 years old after introduction date to be upgraded to ICS.

The numerous ICS ROMS show how easy this device is able to run ICS smoothly and without problems. It would be easy for HTC to release drivers for Desire HD specific hardware for the community to take care of the ICS update itself. It's not the ICS elements that are time consuming, I would say, but the fact that HTC is working on an official ICS-update that should work for every consumer. I fully understand that this is not their core business, especially now that HTC's results are under pressure.

Anyway, if HTC would just release the necessary ICS drivers for the Desire HD. That would be enough for me.
[Desire HD General] FireBlast:
There is no true in this article - bull****. Can you see any links to official sources? I don't. So DHD stays in queue for ICS.
[Desire HD General] trh1341:
Give ALL of this a rest! Unless you hear something from HTC or you find out they are rolling the update out, then don't say anything about it! Thus is ridiculous! People can't read a single page before they post! If you would read one page you would see that its already been asked and answered several times! People are mad because this 2 YEAR OLD device is taking time to get ICS! At least its getting the update! Stop getting mad! HTC only needs to keep it up to date for 18 months! And technically HTC never NEEDED to upgrade the device to gingerbread because this device came out before that deal was made with Google! Now everyone should sit back, relax, and PATIENTLY wait for the update. I can guarantee that HTC will release the update...if not then OH WELL we have Xda and now a working jellybean port. Goodnight.
[Desire HD General] schwang:
Looks like the test was rejected, or HTC has an updated build

Just saw this go up (can't link cause I'm a new member):

blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/software-update-weekly-wrap-18072012/

Looks like HTC has revised their build....
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Thanks! Yeah, it looks like HTC has a new build.
[Desire HD General] suxelexus:
Guys, get ur manties out of a knot and give them the opportunity to fulfill there promise. If Sept rolls around and still no updates, then start ur bi**chin.
[Desire HD General] g011um:
So let's say ICS does get released to the Desire HD on Vodaphone and other carriers around the globe, but not Telus. What are my odds of taking a ROM from another carrier and using it on my Telus phone? Hardware should be identical, but is there something carrier specific in the ROM itself?
[Desire HD General] FireBlast:
No they don't. Just read above that changes from week to week are marked in bold. DHD has a regular font so it's more then a two weeks delay for software update. It clarifies nothing.
[Desire HD General] schwang:
The status hasn't changed from in testing I think, which is why it isn't in bold. It's definately a different status than last week. Not that I want to get bogged down in the minutae of it.

Desire HD

(Vodafone and 3)	2.3.5	Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich	Awaiting submission of second round software by manufacturer to Vodafone for testing.
[Desire HD General] Galaen:
Patience is a virtue, people. I have to say, this is the most entertaining thread I have ever seen. This is an 80's action film. No real story or progress, just explosions and fun.

Sure, some carriers canceled the update because it didn't mesh well with the garbage they include. Understandable. Many have interrogated HTC, and they say it's coming soon. Sweet.

By all means, have fun here! I'm guilty of spending too much time on my phone. The scowls from my wife prove it. It's great fun. I just want to ask people to remember to relax, because it's still just a phone. We'll be okay. No matter what happens.
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
It says it all in the info. god ! ,HTC submited a test ruu ,now Vodafone let them know what wasn't workin,HTC will submit another test ruu untl they iron all bugs .simple!
[Desire HD General] schwang:
That's how I read it too. Oh well, I guess they will have more resources to iron out the bugs so that the XDA developers don't have to! :p
[Desire HD General] Nadirchine:
i think it's the time to buy Galaxy Nexus ...... bye bye HTC
[Desire HD General] commando0:
abandoning old customers like abandoning company

this is reason behind failure of nokia , windows mobile , etc

a hight end phone must have market life of 3-5 years ....

i don't know how many agree with me

but i think htc has lost its race ......
[Desire HD General] drinkman83:
I think the same too.... But I'll wait for the next nexus..... Some one say thet it's coming in October or November :)
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Smartphone market has been changed. 2 years of software support is already "pretty long" for nowadays :-/
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
IPhone 3gs out 2009 is getting apple latest ios 6 may be not all features but brand new software
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
did you try the iPhone 3gs with the latest updated (pre iOs 6)

crawling slow

and whats your problem you are getting ICS

we all know this i don't even see the point of nagging in this thread....
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
Crapple only have a few devices to work on. Even just HTC have more devices to release ICS onto
[Desire HD General] boss man Kole:
Yea but Apple has to update like what one phone? While Android manufactures have to update like 10-12 while they have to make new phones to stay up to par wit other manufacturers and apple. You guys need to quit whining and be patient were lucky to have HTC think about giving us ics let alone give us it. And for all of you saying that HTC is a bad company cause they don't update a two year old phone how does that make them bad? HTC wants to make money, make profit how are they gonna do that by updating an old phone?
[Desire HD General] FireBlast:
Bull****. One V is the same specs as DHD. It has the same CPU and so it should be supported for at least 2 years long. So I make decision that nothing prevents HTC to support this phone for 2 more years. BUT I see it's all about marketing and bussiness. It's too expensive. So 2 years of support is far enough for the customer. IMHO
[Desire HD General] dmytrop:
any news about update shipping date?
[Desire HD General] Black Forest:
ICS isn't canceled ;)

http://www.talkandroid.com/122990-h...e-rumors-of-cancellation-greatly-exaggerated/
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
Stop posting these! We know!
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Tone down, dude

I'm not even talking about the specs, just the phone itself. DHD is from October 2010, that's (about) 22 months ago.

About the marketing and business-stuff, I agree with you. That's also the reason why older (than DHD) devices won't get updated to ICS and later versions.
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
Apple are great at updating their devices. Simple you can say whatever you want,you can justify it however u want but apple make their customers special,do.t get me wrong I'm not a fan of their software or hardware I'm fan of their marketing approach
[Desire HD General] acamarin:
Can this thread be renamed "Official ICS coming to DHD on August 31st 11.59 pm [post only news no one posted before, no whining, no asking for ETA]"? That would be great! :)
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
HTC guarantee an 18 month update on high end devices. If we're on month 22, we're very lucky. Needless to say, my new phone is probably gonna be a nexus though. This nexus is gonna last a while, with high end dual core phones still coming out
[Desire HD General] tiruri:
+1

By the way, we are very lucky with this decision from HTC, the Desire HD is 22 months old !
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
Are you sure?

The leak only provides a RUU, it doesn't give the kernel source.

Because right now the Desire S has the leak, our Sense ICS ROMs fully work now, but the kernel is useless for our AOSP ICS ROMs, so we are still waiting for the kernel source.

Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
[Desire HD General] chrisund123:
Outside chance we'll get a port if they release it for the sensation xl, but I'll probably have a better phone by then :D
[Desire HD General] acamarin:
Sensation XL ics is out already, but the problem with it is there is no kernel source for the DHD with which we could port Sensation XL ics rom to DHD. Best thing devs can do with it is to use kernels used in current ics dhd roms, but that wont enable camera and other glitches that can be fixed either with a DHD ICS leaked rom, or 3.x kernel.
[Desire HD General] wtr_dhd:
You'd almost regret having bought a DHD back in the days, seeing that even much older devices have got ICS roms running with everything working as it should.

Quite gutted about that, but still happy I can use LC's ICS in the meanwhile.
[Desire HD General] tuzluca76:
It's very nice new
[Desire HD General] irshansk:
True story
[Desire HD General] paul c:
Ever had a WM phone :)?

Updates always take a while to come through - from all manufacturers - and it's not as if the phone won't work in the meantime. For that matter, I think it's pretty good service that non-current phones are being updated to Android's latest OS. And it is quite a complicated job, there are hundreds of carrier variants to schedule, build and test. Bear in mind that manufacturers such as HTC are closer to the carriers for contractual/support reasons than the to public.

It's just that I'm quite happy with my custom GB ROM, but I can wait. I've tried a few ICS ROMs, issues such as the stock camera are definintely minor, and they're pretty stable.
[Desire HD General] chrisund123:
Well aware of that, I was meaning for future updates... If any are forthcoming for the XL lol.
[Desire HD General] edowar:
Hi guys..

according this website, Desire Hd will get official ICS rom in 26 jun.

http://www.tre.se/Privat/Kundservice/Mobilguider/Android-40-uppdateringar/
[Desire HD General] irshansk:
If that true, then it will be good birthday gift for me. (Mine is 28-th June)

paul c, yes, had that funny device :D
[Desire HD General] blinkash:
I assume it's going to be August

I think it's going to be August. I want to try a new Sense-based ICS ROM. Hope HTC releases the kernel for DHD so our developers at XDA could bake a ROM with completely working camera and camcorder.
[Desire HD General] SlurmMcKenzie:
Where does it say that ?

i don't speak swedish, but i'm pretty sure that "HTC Desire HD: Juni (v 26)"

does not translate to the 26th of june because by that logic, the "Sony Xperia U: September (v 39)" (9 entries below DHD) would get it on the 39th of september ;)

and the date of that article is 25.05.2012. could be outdated.

edit: i just checked, that value is most likely the week number. which is anywhere from 25.06.2012 to 01.07.2012
[Desire HD General] chrisund123:
I'll put money on not seeing the official release until 10th August (10:08, as HTC like on their clocks lol)

Leak a few weeks prior to that though :D
[Desire HD General] Pruikki:
YEs it is true. 26th day of this month! ICS baby! well. its light version kinda. ull see later, /.
[Desire HD General] getaceres:
I don't think so. It that were true we would have a leak by now, which is not the case. I think it will be no sooner than the end of July.
[Desire HD General] bosas200:
Can someone contact them i get more info about the update? Something about is that true about DHD update.
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
That would be awsome :), but I would miss my current Rom :'(
[Desire HD General] facelessone1:
I guess 3.0 kernel source would be enough for some :)
[Desire HD General] vakbrain:
Telus Desire HD update will be on July 25th

Source : http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/06/06/t...-sandwich-is-expected-to-happen-on-july-25th/¸

It's a good thing my DHD is unlocked. I won't have to wait 'till july 25th to get a fully working ICS rom ;)

edit : typos
[Desire HD General] wtr_dhd:
The time ICS 4.0 will be out officially for our DHD Jellybean 5.0 will be out already on other devices lol.

Few steps behind always ;(
[Desire HD General] dhd1802:
the desire hd was only 12 months old when ics was released, so this praising htc for supporting an old phone is bull****!!! they need a slap for taking over 9 months to roll it out to the desire hd
[Desire HD General] matthew33:
WTF is this ICS update gonna do to improve any part of yuh life??

Is it gonna enable your Desire HD to Turn into a F***ing Jet and Fly you to a deserted island, with servants bringing you beer and grub?

Then you have a special app that dishes out £50 notes whenever and wherever and however often you want?

GEEZ!!!!!!!!!

Matt
[Desire HD General] Wekkel:
That's what's always bugging me. On XDA a new ROM is made almost the same day of release of proper source material. HTC could just unofficially release drivers for ICS and XDA would do the rest. I can only think of the reason why HTC would not do so right away (....... why buy new phones if your oldie keeps on going strong with Jelly Bean ......... ).
[Desire HD General] motherninja:
Vodafone said they waiting for second round of software submission from HTC, the weird things is why nobody at XDA had the leaks? Usually XDA members always had a leaks even 2 months ahead from manufacturer official releases.
[Desire HD General] dhd1802:
the one x is a nice phone, but i know htc will do the same when newer phones are released, and hold back lemon cream pie which will be annoying as hell to my inner geek. still got 5 months left till upgrade
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:
Because Dhd is an old phone now and nobody cares about it except us :P
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
This is the exact reason why I'm getting a nexus. Key lime pie. I don't want to wait a year for it
[Desire HD General] hamidreza2000m:
I bought my phone 3 month ago , they must to update my phone for 18 month , if they cant , they shouldnt sell it!
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
It's 18 months after launch
[Desire HD General] soleil10:
If you still like DHD, waiting; if not, quitting...
[Desire HD General] hamidreza2000m:
Very nice talk!:thumbup:
[Desire HD General] motherninja:
Yeah, it's old already but it also still a powerful phone. It's HTC own fault to create a phone with such an amazing specs like DHD :p

Also consider people who bought this phone with brand new condition earlier this year, because no matter it is officialy released from November 2010, but the sales keep going until now. Some HTC authorized retailer in Indonesia even still selling brand new DHD in their stores.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Good for them it's still a decent phone, but if you buy a phone 18 months after it was released you shouldn't expect it to be as up to date as a just released phone. Just checked and apple will sell you a 3gs which will run iOs 5 but it'd be a dog
[Desire HD General] soleil10:
See this. (Telus don't want to try this?)

http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/software-update-weekly-wrap-18072012/
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:
Someone should start a live bet on when the update is coming ;)
[Desire HD General] FireBlast:
You're defiantly right dude. This update will make me reach on 100$. At the begging of the year I've made a dispute with my friend about ICS upgrade for DHD.
[Desire HD General] Nobodys_me:
Soooo how many of you guys are going to stay on the stock ics after its launched? I know I wont! I'm running IceColdSandwich and everything I need is working fine and the batt life is better then any stock rom could ever be.

So can you maybe tell me what you are waiting for?

We won't even get sense 4 so whatever. if you want it you have to move to a custom rom anyway.

And c'mon you are getting all excited cause of a FULLY working video camera?

Some people should start thinking about what they are waiting for...

Nobody
[Desire HD General] xUniverse:
I know its annoying but...

http://htcsource.com/2012/07/htc-co...hedule/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
[Desire HD General] acamarin:
What is the point of your post? You don't want sense, you want AOSP, that kind of roms are out already...

There is people who got their Dhd because they want sense, and for it to be fully functional with Ics we need official Rom (or for virtuous or other teams to make everything to work, whatever comes first)...

So if you want to say something like this, thinking you figured it all out and thousands of people are silly, please just don't say anything!
[Desire HD General] Nobodys_me:
If you know that it is annoying why do you post it? Please stop repeating yourself ...
[Desire HD General] Nobodys_me:
A) there are enough sense 4/3.6 custom Roms out there that work just fine

And b) what my post is for? Just asking what you are all so excited about sorry mate didn't know that's forbidden ;)
[Desire HD General] lrm537:
Yup! I'm with you there. The HTC was fun while it lasted..and i'll never really abandon it, but, If you're gonna get serious about rooting and flashing and dev-ing,(?) then it's got to be a Nexus phone. It will be for me anyway. Life's too short to wait for this sort of things, and with each step between you and your updates, whether that's a manufacturer or a carrier just adds more complications and time.
[Desire HD General] chatonveca:
Sorry, but for me, the camera is important, and yet if I want ICS with camera, I will not have Sense, but I want Sense, we are waiting for this ROM for the kernel and the camera (and other things that are not yet very stable, I think).
[Desire HD General] GregskiUK:
I'm waiting for working ROM as well...
[Desire HD General] Nobodys_me:
Hey that's totally cool with me if the camera is a big thing for you. All I'm saying is that I can't really believe that all the users that are "complaining" here are waiting for the camera... Its just my opinion. So I just thought I'd ask what everybody is so excited about.

Didnt mean to offend anybody sorry if I did :)

Nobody
[Desire HD General] Wekkel:
Actually, if the camera (picture and video) was working with ICS, this topic would probably not exist :cowboy:
[Desire HD General] getaceres:
Taking a photo of whatever and being able to post it to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or even sending it through Whatsapp is one of the most common task most people do with their smartphones. I can't beleive I'm the only one with a lot of friends which do this kind of things. So for most people having a functional camera is an absolute must have. And why do we want ICS? Because Chrome is possibly one of many applications which will need ICS to work and we don't want to be left out. So we want fully functional and as bugless as possible ICS ROMS. Be it Sense or AOSP.
[Desire HD General] nicoboum:
I may be wrong, but I believe the camera works fine for photos. It's only for capturing 720p videos that it doesn't work.
[Desire HD General] Nobodys_me:
Please try icecoldsandwich and tell me again that you can't take ad share a pic wherever you want :)

I think (not 100% sure) that you are even able to take 480p videos.

And it's ics so chrome will work on it too.

But oh well I guess you guys will just have to wait and see when that update will be available and what big changes it will bring

Nobody
