Hey HTC people i get infomation that HTC Sensation will get JB update.

http://mobile.benchmark.rs/mobile_vesti/htc_zahteva_vishe_od_512_mb_rama_za_jelly_bean#disqus_thread

In Serbian language that means every smart phone who have more thane 512 MB of RAm will get JB.
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
Wut? In which way they're the same devices?

[HTC Sensation] melloyello:
There's a new processor and more ram, but they are virtually the same phone. Some of the One S' had the S3 processor in them, same as the Sensation.

Don't forget the Sensation was a flagship phone when released and comes from the HD2 -> Desire HD family.

With 768mb ram the Sensation, Desire S, Evo 3D, Rhyme and Incredible S are the likely candidates to keep up with Jellybean, though given the Desire HD didn't get ICS there may be some sacrifices for profit margins.

I reckon there'll be an edit from the Sense 4+ that's available as we only got Sense 3.6, but that seems fair.

Other than the Samsung GS3 (and the Note) there's only the GS2 to update to JB, whereas HTC have a bulk of phones which can handle JB. Might take a bit of time but it does look likely :)
[HTC Sensation] olegat0r:
That's what AndroidCentral think:

So maybe we'll get the update even this year!
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Unlikely. Maybe early next year.
[HTC Sensation] melloyello:
Later this year or early next year....just want it to come to Sensation.

Only thing for me is that I'm due my upgrade in December/January and I'm hoping that the Droid DNA/DLX/J Butterfly or whatever it'll be called is available in the UK by the start of the new year. Samsung GS3 is the top boy at the mo, but the specs of the DLX, as well as the phone itself look very impressive.

Oh decisions decisions... :)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You still trusting HTC after their crappy support? I pass.
[HTC Sensation] melloyello:
HTC dropped the ball on a few counts: locked bootloaders, XE versions after buying my Sensation, removing sd card slots etc...but I like Sense, build quality of phones and HTC in general over Samsung, who seem to be the most competition, iphone's not an option and maybe the DLX will usher in a new era of standards in the arena of the smartphone...a man can but dream...and this one might just come true!

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

What are your thoughts on the DLX?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
My thoughts? Another dropped ball. 2000mah battery for that screen? They are taking a piss. I expect dlx++++ in 6 months with a slightly larger battery and slightly faster cpu and you can forget about updates. But I love the rest of the phone. Slcd3, 5" (i think that's a sweet spot), great cou+gpu, and sense ain't that bad either.

[HTC Sensation] melloyello:
I did wonder bout the battery too. Galaxy note 2 has 3000 battery I think.

Other than that it does seem like a beaut of a phone.

Let's hope UK variant gets upgraded specs ;)
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
I don't think we will ever see the JB OTA.

As much as I like HTC devices, I won't be buying one anymore. Slow updates and the lack of information regarding this has made me move to buy Nexus brand from now on.

I bought Nexus 7, and I absolutely love the fact that I get the notification of OTA before I even know that a new version has been released!

I am 100000% sure our Sensations are capable of running JB with no problems at all, after all there are devices with lower specs running JB already.

ICS on the Sensation runs quite badly, after all the bugs reported, nothing has been fixed. I am truly disappointed with HTC :crying:

I could ROOT and get JB, but quite frankly, I cannot be bothered, and I use three apps that will only work when you are unrooted, so it is not even a possibility.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
just wondering, what are those three apps?
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
Barclays is one of them, I love doing all transactions and payments without having to log in from my PC. The other two are work related, one gives me free calls all over the world including mobiles and the other one is some internal stuff for employees. If I root, I can't use any:crying:

I had rooted devices before, but I use my phone for things that don't need root access.
[HTC Sensation] mudabir:
@ Htc plz make the call screen a littel bigger in your next version whatever it will be :angel:
[HTC Sensation] andyjb103:
@m0kvr Hi Andy, will be here very soon and it will be worth it.

Just got this tweet back from @htc_uk. I asked when JB update is coming to Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
tried to find that tweet, cant find it in htc uk profile...:( guess they thought jb4OneX and deleted it, if this is what you were talking about..
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Can somebody confirm whether or not this is actually true?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Seems it is :) screen posted on XDA http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd509/andyjb103/Screenshot_2012-11-27-17-26-08.png
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
just hope they deleted it because of keeping a secret, not because of mistake for One X...:)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
But y did they delete it then?

They couldn't confuse it with One X cuz One X's update has rolled out around a month ago...
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
yeah, but looks like ota rolled out in europe today..
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
HTC haven't decided about an update yet. I've just got a reply on Facebook.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
What lets me down about HTC is that we aren't even sure whether we are getting an update or not. To be honest, it wasn't a cheap phone when I got and it once was a flagship device. It just annoys me to know I have a perfectly able device to run jb but we don't even deserve to know if we will get it or not..... That's why sensation is my last HTC device ever, unless they make a nexus device in the future of course.
[HTC Sensation] andyjb103:
Bet somebody from HTC_uk got into trouble for answering me with that tweet....!
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Well, give us some screenshot or their answer...:)

And Andy, I'm glad for that...:)
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
I don't know how to make a Screenshot with my Nexus 7. But you may have a look at the HTC Facebook page if you don't believe me.

Capitalism is based on competitive market where everyone is trying to do the best to overlap rivals (with good support for example), thats why your argument makes no sense whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
any news abou jb, htc has been quietly boring...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
They are busy changing marketing directors. Which once again shows they are looking to improve sales, not support. Me thinks HTC are looking in the wrong direction.
[HTC Sensation] :
"Corporate greed" would better serve it I guess :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] .TanTien:
I asked HTC over Twitter and over their support site. They said that they will first care about the One series devices. After that older phones with more than 512MB RAM will follow and the Sensation is one of them. I think the update will come out early next year.

[HTC Sensation] Byro-ATM:
Moving Slow...:(
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
Samsung GSII and Sony Xperia S are going to be updated, we need to put some additional pressure on HTC...

It is possible that they are making update plans now for older devices, so we must be loud...
[HTC Sensation] jyo1:
Seeing google's speed of releasing updates & that of htc, looks like we may have android 5.0 by the time htc decides about JB for sensation ;)
[HTC Sensation] dimitxx:
Even if they decide to make a JB update for Sensation, HTC stock roms are somehow heavy and sometimes more unstable than most of the nightlys.

PS: This is my first post in this Forum :cyclops:
[HTC Sensation] hydroxboys:
Might be also slower or no update in Southeast Asia among the others... :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
why is that?
[HTC Sensation] maw:
This is going to be my last HTC, after 10 years, good bye! Had enough of their crap. I'm going to Samsung, at least they're a company that you can depend on and treat their customers the way it should be! So long HTC, your sales have already dropped by 48% compared to last year, at this rate, next year will probably be your last year in existance! What a shame!
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
yeap, mine too, dont wanna check twitter page or xda every hour for some news about jb, this ih humiliating...
[HTC Sensation] caldavien:
I installed the JB rom from this thread and was wondering, do I need the kernel that is available with it? What does it do for me? I can't post in that thread yet or I would ask there.
[HTC Sensation] marvelousdragon:
Well i was thinking to get HTC for my wife..but i think i change my mind.i will go for samsung. :)
[HTC Sensation] dimitxx:
HTCs aren't so bad once you get to root them, s-off them and install a custom ROM! :)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That is IF you can s-off them. And even then we are missing proprietary drivers and stuff. Nope. Thanks. As much as I like HTC hw, I can't stand their update policy and also their politics for devices. Release handicapped device and then release an improvement half a year later.
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
Samsung and it's software. Yay for that.

[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
We shouldn't forget that ICS has JUST been relaesed for LG Optiimus 2X....something that we have had for almost a year now.

HTC has been quicker than other brands in some cases and for some updates (even faster than Samsung), but obviously not in all cases.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Yeah, but it would be nice for starters to say will there be jb update, or not, we don't know even that...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That's all I wanted, to know where I stand. If they said no and have a reasonable excuse, I probably even would consider HTC in the future. Not anymore.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
I wouldn't, because if they say no, they can't have reasonable explanation, reason is WE ARE LAZY, AND DON'T GIVE A **** for sensation any more, but I still prefer to hear this, and know where we stand, then go to our FAQ page, we don't know still anything...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Also have you seen what they do to One X+? If someone HTCdev unlocks it removes a whole bunch of the Sense UI applications - to try and stop people wanting to flash custom ROMs :(
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Really? First time I've heard of that. Ah well, not that I'm bothered much. :)

And it's Tegra 3, when they did speed binning they all missed the right bin for them - rubbish bin.
[HTC Sensation] sorceforge:
So I searched the HOX+ forum, and they say that it happens because those apps(dropbox, 7digital, etc..) were installed in /data/ partition, and unlock makes /data/ partition get wiped. That's how it happened. Also, there is a pack of those apps included. ;)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Again, they are not too too late on that either. Motorola announced their JB upgrade plan just a few hours ago. Sony did this around a week ago too. So they are not terribly late on the announcement compared to the competitors.

Once again, im not trying to defend HTC and i am as sad as everyone else is about not getting JB for sensation. But im just trying to mention the facts.
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
Football tweeted this:

List of HTC Devices that will get JB Update: Evitare Evita Fireball Jewel К2 TotemC2 Ville VilleC2 Valente#WX

A no go for Sensation, I wonder would they just give us clean no-sense JB build...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No they wouldn't do that, no JB means no JB full stop.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
I still hope this isn't final decision, as far as I can see, theese are all One series phones, if I'm right...? And no, we won't get no sense JB never..:)

Edit: Have you noticed that htc's 4.1 FAQ page doesnt work whole day...? Maybe they're updateing it...:)
[HTC Sensation] resinis:
it would be pretty dumb for them not to give us an oem jb update. the custom roms work so well they could probably just push those to everyones phones and nobody would complain.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
If they gave us clean jb, this phone wouldn't be sensation, but nexus, so, no go for that...;)

Edit: p.s. nobody wouldn't complain and nobody would buy new phone with newest android, so you see why they don't want to do that...
[HTC Sensation] :
Football tweeted that's he's 99% sure we won't get jelly bean.

Fantastic.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Bad news. He's quite reliable source. Now, do we kick up some noise and get community together on that? I'd let sensation pass, but we need to get some policy out of them, so you know what to expect when you get their device.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
HTC Sensation: your flagship device for 2011!

You even get ONE free OS upgrade!
[HTC Sensation] :
I'm going to mail this to HTC
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
sod emails :p , mind if I post this on elevate? They *sort of* listen to people on elevate so it might be our best chance...
[HTC Sensation] :
Yeah no problem :)

I just got an email from them saying that they forwarded it to the right department. Hope that's not the trash !
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Lol probably... and by the looks of the comments on the elevate posts, I'm not the only one having a go at them (most people on evelate are developers/have some relation to developers), eg there is a massive storm on at the moment over not being able to S-OFF newer devices :)
[HTC Sensation] dimitxx:
Yeah I really hate that HTC makes it so hard to S-OFF and now they even make their devices not S-OFF -able.

That's very bad policy. I'm currently very happy with my Sensation with custom ROM AOKP JB, but I think my next device would be a Nexus or something, I doubt it that I'll buy HTC that can't s-off.

HTC do have quite strong unibody thou.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
I unlocked my phone since revolutionary way back when this phone was released. I thought HTC declared that they were going to make it easier to unlock their phones going forward...why would they then make it hard or impossible to S-Off?

Is there something I'm not aware of?
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
Unlocking the bootloader has been made easier, via HTC dev.

But S-off isn't in HTC's policy.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Any news, I mean officially by htc?
[HTC Sensation] :
I just got the worst answer ever from HTC
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Hahahaha, this is getting better and better... Great answer htc...

Looks like they didn't bother reading that email.:mad:

hi guys, s no good news for jelly bean ? that sucks ... than i have to stay on cm10 for my pyramid ;)
[HTC Sensation] Tanguy_ASM:
Hurry up HTC ! I want to know if I will have Jelly Bean or not. I hope yes because Galaxy S2 will have it. Shame on you if not ! ^^
[HTC Sensation] kiwell:
No official jelly bean for the sensation, sorry... It happens like that at HTC :)

Thank god there is cyanogen ;)
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Waiting for official statement, if that is true, why dont they announce it?
[HTC Sensation] kiwell:
There is a list of phone that will receive JB, the sensation and sensation xe are not in. Stop waiting, there won't be another update. Now support the developpers of custom rom they are making a fantastic work!!!
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
I never said they don't do wonderfull job on custom roms, I'm just saying the 4.1 jb FAQ page is still down on htc, and that It's odd that there is nowhere official statement from htc, but football's ...
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
football = official ?

PS: i know about his past reputation.
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
They changed link address, the content is same as before:

http://www.htc.com/www/support/content.aspx?id=190044
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Oh, ok, but still, is there any official statement on htc site for phone list they will get jb?
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
they have just removed devices with 512MB or ram or less from the list.
[HTC Sensation] Tanguy_ASM:
I want Sense 4 too, the best Sense ever
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
It would be nice just to give us sense + update, if no jb, but, that would be hard to happen to...
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
I wonder if the Desire and DesireHD users did the same as we do now.

Considering that both phone are the previous HTC flaship phone and

as I heard that they STILL didn't get an ICS update for their phone.

It's very upsetting people of what they've done to their very own customers.
[HTC Sensation] kiwell:
The list of devices reveiving 4.1 was published on twitter. So there is no hope for the sensation.

The story is repeated again (I'm an HTC Desire owner). HTC problem is the number of primary family devices when samgsung has only 1 important primary devices (galaxy S), or the nexus family. HTC have a lot!!! I'm not even able to say how many.

It's sad because I like HTC for the build in "quality" and design.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Even quality is gone downhill lately. You read how many problems people encountered with HOX?

If I had to choose now, I'd choose Samsung every time.
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
These morons have no clue about interpreting texts... It is so sad! Screw it HTC!
[HTC Sensation] :
you will get sense 4+ , when Ville C2 will receive JB ;) Believe in the Devs :good:
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
I am, I am, they are great, HTC is that one that is no good...:)
[HTC Sensation] Tanguy_ASM:
Yes I know but I already tried the last ViperS with Sense 4. And there are too many bugs in order to use it every time. The work of the developers is enormous but the custom roms are not as stable as the official rom
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Try darksense. I have been using it for a while and it is much more stable then my original, official cr*ppy Vodafone UK rom... :)
[HTC Sensation] Tanguy_ASM:
But I have a Sensation XE so he hasn't got a rom customized by my operator. So it's very stable with the latest update
[HTC Sensation] thunderstorm654:
This will always be the case but it's pretty awesome most of the devs just do it in their free time in order to allow them and others to enjoy more up to date software or customized tweaks :good:

[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
look at this!! there is a folder for the JB kernel!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I would assume that's just site wide, not sensation specific
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Assumption is a mother of all you-know-what :p

We just got to wait and see. And then fight HTC with our money. IE take it elsewhere. Their profits are down, and lack of sw updates must have something to do with it, they've upset 3 generations of buyers here, desire, desire hd and sensation. Each and every one a top of the line phone at the release time.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yep, site wide as expected, can tell because we already know One V isnt getting JB update
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Is this e-mail from htc support about Jellybean for Sensation?:good:
[HTC Sensation] kiwell:
Why some people are still believing HTC, the desire got the same mail for gingerbread, the wildfire also, desire S too... This thread is useless.

If the sensation get JB officially, I officially throw a watermelon in my a**.

You will say to me, so why you bought this phone, I like HTC design, I thought without the 512 memory problem there will follow the device, but I was fist fu**!!!

Now I don't care about jb until there is miui on it.
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
Cool story bro.

I don't really think that Sensation will get an official JB update, but there are some really good JB ROMs for Sensation out there ( which work better than the stock ROM :D ) and I believe pretty soon there would be JB ROMs ported for Sensation with Sense 4, but I don't really like the sense 4 new look and feel (and I could never find how to change the stock launcher's screen number -- I hate this).
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Sensation needs updated kernel for JB thats why we need JB from HTC, they could provide actual kernel source code and proprietary libs, for now all custom JB ROMs uses old ICS kernels which causes many problems with newer jellybean userspace.

Sensa Update

I asked to the German HTC Support for any news about JB update:

HTC_DACH:

Moin,

wir verteilen JB erst auf die One Reihe. Ist dieses abgeschlossen werden wir andere Geräte bekanntgeben.

English translation:

We will roll out JB for the One devices. After that we will publish a list of devices which will get the update.

So they will roll out JB updates for non One devices. :good:
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Hmmm... Well, I decided to move away, I cannot wait more. Ordering a 32 GB version of Galaxy S3 within few days. Samsung's Touchwiz might not be that good looking but they are delivering much better after sales support as of now. And the phone is damn fast! :) I hope however, that HTC gets up from its sleep before its too late, and provide Sensation user's with an update.

I was thinking about getting a Windows Phone 8x also, along with S3 but looking at the way things are happening and HTC's reputation, and only 16 GB non expandable memory, I will stay away from that. Waiting for Lumia 920 to launch in my country.
[HTC Sensation] iCalculate:
Similar situation for me but I ended up getting the Nexus 4
[HTC Sensation] lanluckez:
I am hard and resistant.

No new buys for me. From Sensation to death :D

Meanwhile on HTC...
[HTC Sensation] 22VIN:
I was also fed up with HTC (I was on my 3rd Sensation and it still had issues) so I sold it and decided to try the iPhone. So now I'm an iPhone user and I'm pretty happy with it (especially battery life, which is unreal compared to the Sensation).

Still miss Android though, maybe I'll get a Nexus when Key Lime Pie launches; actually, Nexus is the only Android device I would buy, too bad the N4 wasn't available in my country after I sold my Sensation (and still isn't).
