Why does it matter. Nicola tesla invented electricity. Some one found fire. So all the engineering is connected it won't work without each other . Every invention is important. The good part is it has been invented no matter where it has been. So chill and don't miss the point of this thread.
[Desire HD General] s4k1s:
Well, I think you confuse invention with discovery.. Internet is an invention, fire and electricity are discoveries. They existed before human succeeded in taming these forces.. :D But let's stop with the off-topics..

[Desire HD General] [secret]:
somehow i cant believe that vodafone, 3 sweden and telus say the truth.

all 3 say that they already received the update from htc... but theres no update for us unbranded dhd owners available. ive never seen a branded phone getting an update BEFORE the unbranded version.

second, wouldnt we have already a leak if the update seems to be so close? lol i feel like sherlock when im talking like this... anyway, just wanted to point these things out...
[Desire HD General] jelli:
Looking forward to the release, should we expect anything new from ROMs (Currently using Lord Clockan IceColdSandwich) or is this going to just allow for better stability/performance?
[Desire HD General] cdordon:
At&t isn't rolling out the update for the Inspire, and I can imagine its the same for and unbranded DHD on the At&t network.

[Desire HD General] z_sven:
AT&T has nothing to do with the update for unbranded DHD. The update for the unbranded devices comes directly from HTC and therefore it doesn't matter on which network you are phoning.

Zhe says:

Will Desire HD receive android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?

Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

Kieran McIlwain says:

Hi Zhe, I believe it’s based off the same codebase as the updates to the Sensation series so it will likely be 4.0.3.

Biran says:

have you got the release Date for HTC Desire HD

Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 8:49 pm

Kieran McIlwain says:

Hi Brian, no ETA but keep checking back each week for any news.
[Desire HD General] akshhae:
This is only for TELUS branded phone for unbranded phones this date may vary..;)
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
What we're waiting for is a download of the kernel mainly, we don't care about branding
[Desire HD General] Moscow_97:
it would be great :D
[Desire HD General] 5qra:
last december, but which year ??

[Desire HD General] c5satellite2:
July 17th! Finally. T-minus 4 days to official ICS kernel and RIL/RADIO!
[Desire HD General] Simonekl:
Yes
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Can we trust AT&T with their release date of 17 July? 3 Sweden failed with their release date of ICS.
[Desire HD General] janarp:
U mean 17 july ... :)
[Desire HD General] callmemycool:
How do you know this? Is it confirmed, officially?
[Desire HD General] motherninja:
I think I know why HTC delayed the ICS update for DHD for this long, mainly because they don't want to hurt the One V sales or they don't want dev at XDA to finally be able to make Sense 4 ROM fully working. I still love my DHD and don't want to spend my hard-earned money for One series so I will wait patiently for official ICS release :)
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Yea :o
[Desire HD General] lrm537:
Can we trust any of them with release dates? All we can be sure of is that it's coming, and I think that's the best we can expect for the time being. Although none of that stops me from checking multiple times a day on the off chance that a leak has been discovered. Or that HTC have played a blinder and released it earlier than expected.

My breath remains unheld.
[Desire HD General] bosas200:
I always thought that branded phone users need always to wait long to get the update. Dafuq is going on :D Now unbranded will get it sooner than unbranded :D
[Desire HD General] h-e-a-v-e-n:
you mean branded will get it sooner than unbranded :D
[Desire HD General] jelli:
Hurrah finally! 17th is going to be an awesome day.

Where did u get dat info from?
[Desire HD General] MusikMonk:
Sorry to be a killjoy but apparently we're not getting the update soon, Telus updated their release schedule and the Desire HD is listed as "Upgrade cancelled".

Link to update schedule (pdf)

Source page on their website

Apparently:

"HTC has cancelled the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing"
[Desire HD General] nicoboum:
This is bad news... But this is news, so thank you for digging this.

I hope they will not give up on the DHD. Or if they do, I hope they'll give us the kernel sources at least.
[Desire HD General] Nece228:
Hooray! So we wont get ics at all, this is my happiest day of my life :D

Cancelled due to poor performance?!

There are several ics sense ports out and they all run fine except for camera
[Desire HD General] robinmobile:
bugger.....

give it to us Ewe will test it.
[Desire HD General] shithead:
True.

Although I think we can blame Sense 3.6 right?

Htc one V has the same hardware and less ram and that thing can run sense 4.0 smoothly.

Or

Maybe the radio isn't good enough for Telus
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
I don't believe this 2 weeks from release they decide to cancel that's weird, desire s is less powerful device and got ics , in 2 weeks we will have ics just chill guys
[Desire HD General] Fatos:
Htc desire hd is top sold htc phone. Se they should think a bitt more. Because there will be lots of unpleased costumers that might turn the back to them forever. If i don't get update ill be the first to change to samsung.
[Desire HD General] Simonekl:
YES Iam buy GALAXY S 3

THE END DHD SORRY GUYS

[Desire HD General] trh1341:
I now have a galaxy nexus coming my way. This news is really what is making me never want to buy an HTC phone again. Fro, now on HTC can suck me up and I'm sticking with nexus phones or samsung.
[Desire HD General] nicoboum:
Samsung isn't better.

Those last week, mostly because of Google I/O, I came to realise that Nexus phones are the only way to go for people who want to have the last Android version running on their phones.

As for me, I'll keep my DHD until the next Nexus is released, and I think I'll make the jump.

Same thing for my tablet (Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it doesn't have ICS yet! :(), my next one will be a Nexus (for those who don't own a tablet : trust me, it's only useless as long as you don't have one. After that, it's a need ! :P)
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
They should cancel incredible s and HTC rhyme as well since they all share same specs

I was digging out HTC's twitter and facebook accounts to see if there are any official statements from them and found this post

This thread has less juice than an empty glass.

All we can do is wait. They won't rush it if we keep talking about it.
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:

so be positive guys :D:D

i think htc is going to ditch desire hd like desire .........

if one can recall

desire was initially receiving update of gingerbread but latter it was with drawn,

and a developer version was provided excusing about memory and hardware limitations ....

same may be the fate for desire hd ......

my hopes are down
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
from that phrase I can assume that it's for every DHD and not just for the DHD from Telus... I probably don't see how can a telus DHD can differer at all from a regular unbranded DHD...

Outrageous!!!!

Never going to buy one HTC again...

This was the top of the line when it got out... I expected to be treated with respect...
[Desire HD General] tonn3k:
Omg!

"HTC has cancelled the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing"

Lol, to poor device performace? Desire C has 512mb ram, 600mhz. And It have ICS with Sense 4.0. Can you explain me this?

You already said it... Sense 4.0 is the reason why

If I get a official answer from htc I will tell you as soon as it is possible ;)
[Desire HD General] ricc@rd:
I asked to HTC ITALY and they told me that there is no official communication from HTC that says that the update has been cancelled. It's probably a TELUS or HTC CANADA decision! If someone can, should contact TELUS and ask more information to them!

We can still hope to receive ICS :victory:

god damn if this turns out to be true I'll never buy a HTC phone ever, and I mean it!

HTC if you are reading this GIVE US ICS!!!!! I dont give a crap about your update i want a cooked rom

[Desire HD General] eagle_abhi:
HTC is waiting for DHD owners to get a lil more impatient and start selling thier device and start buying HTC ONE-X....

but all of us here understand there marketing strategy...

and people here are more smart....so lets sell DHD and shake hands with SAMSUNG......THEREAFTER HTC WILL STOP PLAYING WITH THEIR CUSTOMER'S PATIENCE.
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:
Guys! Here is how it is. HTC is rolling out ics in batches. The first will be july-August, then August-september then september-october and so forth.

Why Telus has canceled their Update is their disition not HTC's. Telus have their version of Desire HD.

So wait it will Come in july-August
[Desire HD General] FurryCup:
I am not saying this for bravado. I will genuinely never buy a HTC devise ever again. I have done it before with manufacturers who have f***ed me over, even though they had products out at a later date that I really liked. So why would I cut my nose off to spite my face? Because it is the ONLY power we the consumer has. Plus, I'm going to tell anyone who will listen to buy Samsung.
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Which device from Samsung was manufactured in 2010 and got ICS update now ... ?

I'm not saying that Samsung is bad, they make great devices (look at SGS 2 and 3), but HTC is "working" on it. I'm still happy they update our old devices to ICS.

And to be honest. HTC's update list still hasn't changed to October. It still says " July-Augustus". It's possible the HTC person from that email got the wrong info.

So as long we don't have the ICS update after August, then I think we should start to yell at HTC.
[Desire HD General] sonnysoul:
You all need to chill out. The official announcement from HTC stated July-August.

I don't think anyone should really be moaning unless we get to September and there's still no update.

Now I know we all want ICS on the DHD, but HTC did not commit to provide OS updates when they started selling the Desire HD. Do Microsoft give you a free upgrade to their new version of Windows, and Office suites? No. Do EA give you a free upgrade from Fifa 12 to Fifa 13? No. You shouldn't expect to get anything for free in life. You paid for the device as is at point of sale, not for future software updates.

The Desire HD is just under 2 years old... the surprise is that HTC are actually going to update it to ICS, and I think we should be thankful for that, not moaning because they are taking too long. Their priority is obviously their newer devices. What would you say if you bought a One X and then found the Sensation was getting Jelly Bean before it?

Quit moaning and be realistic people.
[Desire HD General] Clayloo:
Good point!
[Desire HD General] soleil10:
you are absolutely right. but, after you have annonced you would give a upgrade for free, you'd better keep your words.

[Desire HD General] motherninja:
HTC is really playing with our patient regarding this ICS update. Desire HD is definitely my last HTC Android smartphones. Eventhough this phone is really great even after 2 years old. Imagine the same things like this will likely happens to current One X, S, and V owners 2 years from now.
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
And the same thing will happen to every OEM. The only way to avoid it is get a Nexus
[Desire HD General] 13770147:
Oh yeah.

im thinking of getting new one from other OEM too.

Possibly from SONY.
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
No, not really, HTC hasn't said anything. Telus claims that they've canceled the ICS update, but HTC is still maintaining that ICS will come to the Desire HD.

If we we had the Galaxy S, it would be very simple. We wouldn't get ICS at all, and we can just port hacked together kernels from the Nexus S.

Evidence?
[Desire HD General] shithead:
It's so funny that everyone hates HTC now and like Samsung like it's their new God.

I'm glad. they won't cry in this thread anymore but they will cry in their Samsung thread about when they will get Jelly Bean ... or yell how bad Samsungis because they won't get the next Android version (the one after JB).

Just a reminder, like I posted a few times here ... How many Gingerbread phones from Samsung got updated to ICS?

1) Galaxy S II

2) Galaxy Note

*sigh*

If you want the latest update, just get a Nexus.

Back on topic:

I don't think HTC will cancel the update, but probably delay it. They still got time till 31st of August.

And if they really cancel it, we can only pressure them to not to discontinue the development for DHD's ICS update.

Also don't forget we only get this message from Telus. HTC listens to Telus here. Telus is their client, not the Telus-branded DHD-users.

It's possible Telus told HTC they need this and this as requirements for their network and probably the current (test) build isn't good enough for Telus.
[Desire HD General] Enterprise-D:
Seriously, I don't understand why HTC won't update DHD to ics..."Poor performance" is a pure lie :mad (incredible S get his update:crying:)
[Desire HD General] tonn3k:
yep, devices with the same specifications like Incredible S and Desire S got update. Why Desire HD wouldn't get update?
[Desire HD General] shithead:
Read my updated post here above you :)

But that's what I think ...

We should wait till HTC's official statement, before we start to pressure HTC.

(I would hate it too if HTC will cancel it ... )
[Desire HD General] WarRaven:
Hope most are remembering that it's just Telus that has said this so far.

Who knows maybe someone doctored that PDF at some point just to ruin the weekend for others expecting this update coming on the 17th, next week.

I'll officially believe we've been passed over by Telus on 17th an others by say end of July.
