[HTC One S] Vauix:
"If we would have to suggest the timeframe, the date would have to be in mid-December, before Christmas, but at the same time, there are no guarantees as these updates tend to slip."

That and the fact that they don't provide us a source suggests to me that this is just speculation...
[HTC One S] --anx--:
In India, if you check on Google, the update rollout has begun for the One X, and there's photos that confirm that... :)

We're close to the end at last..but I think that i'll wait a New TrickDroid version with JB...the battery performance with this Rom is absolutely amazing!!! :D
[HTC One S] electro`:
Chill out.

I understand they made some false promises, but how many devices have Jelly Bean?

You need to understand that.

If you want instant updates, go buy a Nexus.

All companies have different speculations for the software and they have their own dates too.

A lot of fault lands on the carriers and distributors too.

One X is already rolling Jelly Bean as said above.

GS3 has it too.
[HTC One S] hunabku:
Imo people diss htc for no reason since none of us have any clear idea how beureucracy and everything else works in corporation like HTC, so we have to be patient and let the guys do their stuff and be glad we get jellybean at all :)

[HTC One S] Orical:
I have a GS3 and the one s and I can see the frustration since I bought the One S first and the GS3 two months later, obviously I got jb on the galaxy first but this happens with HTC with most devices. I'm not as pissed but again there are reasons people get muffed about the consistent promises that get pushed ahead due to them marketing the next device in line otherwise this would have happened already.
[HTC One S] beni8978:
Is JB coming for the S3 version of the One S(villec2) ? :confused: :rolleyes:

Sent from my HTC One S using TrickDroid 4.0.0
[HTC One S] Lirankn:
No reason for it not to come out to it..
[HTC One S] electro`:
Correct.

The S3 version will get Jelly Bean, but at a later date than the S4. You can expect to be here in mid-January 2013 at the earliest.

As for the S4 version, it will be receiving the update in these few upcoming weeks.

They are sorry for making false promises, they just weren't sure when it would be ready and some of these update rumors heard were just conjured up by others who were trying to mess with everyone.

Just check the HTC site, they are sure that the update will be here very soon.

Whether it's December or January that it releases, we can be sure that their will be minimal bugs if not any. :)
[HTC One S] wzfellguard:
You know,its not abouth htc update crap,its aboyth why they sux....tbh I loveD htc..but after reading THEY ARE SORRY FOR MAKING ONE X WITH HARDWARE not software bug!which cant be solved!!!!And this crap s bug with home button on our one s WITH SH IT BATTERY COMPARING to s3...i were idiot to get this one s.....my bad mistake..htc do make nice phones,but hey,whats difference when u put them in case?NONE..shame on htc..they should ask themself WHY they lost soo much money this year TOTAL FAIL ..welcome sam**** ...shame no normal phone maker......
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
U mad bro?
[HTC One S] alex_oO:
About 4 days ago o2 Germany twittered me (after I asked them) that the Update should come out in this month... o2 needed a month to roll the update to Sense 4.1 out, so I don't believe that the update is coming before end of december... >.>
[HTC One S] NQNH:
lol.. not all htc phones are that bad, calm down, sell your phone and buy another and your problem is solved.

and your post has nothing to do with jellybean
[HTC One S] hellopips:
just read that jb is being pushed in india for the one x and its going to be in 2 parts! so this can only mean good news for the one s users :good: if im not mistaken the way iv'e understood the way that updates are released is that we will probably receive our update with in 45 days! if so thats good news:fingers-crossed:
[HTC One S] 'AL':
and we're still waiting for 4.0.4 for our one s here in India!!
[HTC One S] Elloco305:
Lmao seriously?
[HTC One S] :
Yes , but I have a T-Mobile us version here so bad luck for those who bought indian version though the tmous version was available at lower price on eBay
[HTC One S] electro`:
Umm, English please?

o2 doesn't decide updates for everyone, do they? Didn't think so.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
I won't believe anyone who said that the release day now. I only know the chance to get it in this month is extremely low and because of HTC still doesn't mouth a word I believe the chance to get it at the beginning of Dec is relatively low too, if they are going to release it after a week they should say it now.

The most possible date to unbranded One S would be in mid-dec or end-dec.
[HTC One S] alex_oO:
Yeah, I was talking about updates for o2 branded devices.

[HTC One S] Shash747:
Not true.

I got my S in October with 4.0.3 and immediately received 4.0.4 on checking for updates after unboxing.

Mine is S4, unbranded.
[HTC One S] pepe999:
Well, this is a very good idea.:D

http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/08/htc-announces-3q-2012-financials/

This idea is the reason why HTC loose customers because they do exactly the same as suggested. I know that my next phone won't be HTC. Why? The phone itself might not be bad but its design is. Not removable battery, no sd card slot and software update management sucks. Ok, GSIII: Removable battery, sd card slot, updated to JB a long ago. HTC can't compete with Samsung and in two or three years will be gone or at least a minor manufacturer..
[HTC One S] luxandroid:
I think you who are crying so much about JB just dont know how to enjoy what you have ! HTC is amazing and never would buy samsung just because update came a bit earlyer ...and those two are completly diferent imo ,snese and TW ,depends what you want from your phone,and right now you are not missing to much not havong JB ...oh and removable battery,why you need it,just wondering on how many devices you had to change battery ,and sd slot 16 gb not enough for you ?!
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Lol, this sub-forum really is full of cry babies/haters, beyond pathetic now

Removable battery is actually considered to be better by the majority of "experts" due to there being less chance of the battery failing as dust/dirt can't get in, you can't keep removing batteries thus wearing the connectors down etc., allows the manufacturers to design better phones, amongst other reasons.

Plus why is there any need for a removable battery, considering that the S is one of the best phones for battery life, only beaten by the likes of the note II, RAZR M/I, HD and MAXX etc.? Unless you like to travel a lot in which case you buy a power pack or portable charger.

SD slot? What is the problem unless you are someone who likes to dump the entire music collection on the phone despite probably only listening to like 2/5 of it in one week, if even that :rolleyes:

Over 1000 photos including 1080P videos/slow motion recordings, wallpaper packs, icon packs, N64 and genesis ROM emulator files yet I still have about 3GB free (could free up 6GB as I back up all my photos/videos to my PC each day), over 86 apps installed and I still have over 1GB free

The thing I find funny is that if these things are so important then why on earth did you buy the S knowing what you were going to be getting, better yet, why do you still have the S, not sell it on and get a phone that does have SD slot and removable battery........

Also, clearly these are not the issues as to why HTC's profits are reducing as take a look at the iphones, non-removable battery and no SD slot yet the sales of it trumps every phone.

Oh and "HTC can't compete with Samsung"........lololololololol :D

- They only design far better phones in terms of build, perceived quality and not to mention the looks

- Use top end hardware in most of their phones, the S4 dual chipset is better than the quad core exynos chipset

- IMO sense is far better than touchwiz, only advantage of TW is the smart features like smart stay etc. which are pretty much all on the market, better optimised too (the one X with jellybean has improved vastly, beats the GS 3 with JB in pretty much all benchmarks despite the GS 3 having the better CPU/GPU.........)

- their screens are better especially the one X, the one S SAMOLED screen is better calibrated than the GS 3 screen, only advantage of the GS 3 is higher res. and bigger

The only reason Samsung are regarded as being better/more popular is due to their brand image, advertising, the hype they create for the products. They are just like Apple now and the majority of their customers/fanboys are just like the Apple crowd too.

Even if the X/S had a SD slot, bigger battery and no issues at all, people would still find something to complain about and would still get the GS 3 instead.

Once again, it seems that people can't read as to why the GS 3 got JB before the one S/X:
[HTC One S] pepe999:
I don't cry. I will just pick a phone more carefully next time. I'm going to spend my money to a reliable maker. Of course some loyal customers always stay no matter how the maker is doing. HTC need customers who buy everything they say and accept everything they do.

This is a general statement so it might apply on many customers. This is just my opinion as a customer. HTC don't care about customers and this is why they rather release a very similar phone than update the old one to make it better and bring some new customers.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
You mean just like Samsung did with the GS 3 LTE model and the normal GS 3 model then? The way they updated the normal GS 3 to JB about 3-4 weeks after the release of the GS 3 LTE model, which came with JB despite being exactly the same except the LTE model supported LTE and had an extra 1GB of RAM......

Our standard one S will get the update, it's not like they aren't providing the update for us at all........

They might not be fast with the updates but at least they are far quicker than SE, motorola and provide updates to most of their phones still. Samsung only concentrate on the GS 3, note II, GS 2 and note. Only reason they are supporting the note and GS 2 is due to how popular they are and how many of them are still being sold.

Yes it is annoying but HTC are no different to any other company.

Tutorial thread shows this, which is the error I am getting:

Did you took a look in the thread of the tutorial you are following, someone must have experienced that problem before
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
Not that I can see, but it's mentioned in the original post. However I don't understand the explanation given to fix the issue. It's what I posted above regarding blobs.
[HTC One S] BiteBlaze:
You could post in the thread and ask the question... like "how do I edit the blob?!?!"
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
I have, been dead in that thread all day. I guess I need to be more patient lol.

Haha me to. Repo is at 8%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stay on topic guys. If you want to have a childish Samsung vs HTC fight please open a new topic.

I'm getting really tired of these immature rants. If phone updates matter this much to you please spend your money on a new phone, you probably don't have much else in life ;)

That annoyance costs them lots of money and customers. A good maker shouldn't follow others but did it better..

No Jelly Bean this year

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/1...ne-software-updates-telstra-optus-vodafone-9/

Folks, HTC has no incentive to release Jelly Bean for the One S.

YOU HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE PHONE.

All of these comments are mostly irrelevant. Until such time as HTC believes putting Jelly Bean on an old phone earns them money, they won't do it. Yes, customer loyalty has value, but that is offset by the fact that they will SELL MORE PHONES IF YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE TO GET NEWER SOFTWARE.

It really is that simple. It really is.
[HTC One S] :
Wtf Wtf Wtf !!! Someone please tell me that's its a lie ! DelAyed until next year :mad:
[HTC One S] --anx--:
HTC wants to sell their flagship instead of making less money with a powerful One S with the same software like its top brothers...

Soon will be Christmas...an One X/X+ with Jelly Bean is more attractive than an One S with Ice Cream still on board...

I'm an HTC lover since the ancient Diamond...I'm not throwing s**t on em...just saying they're doing pure marketing...that's it.

I hope that a blessed soul can LEAK the official release somewhere...so the community can make Roms from it...
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Lol..... yeah telstra is the one to blame there not HTC..............

Of course network carriers are going to be piss poor. Most of us here have sim free devices.

EDIT:

Oh and even more LOL at this next part:

• Samsung Galaxy Nexus — Android Jelly Bean 4.1 still yet to be submitted from Samsung. Expected to ship in December.

• Samsung Galaxy S III — Issue in Android 4.1 submission found, will require Samsung to submit a second version for testing.

Hmmm, sound like they know what they are talking about.......Samsung have nothing to do with the software on nexus devices, that is handled by google.... Also the galaxy nexus got JB like 1 week after it was announced therefore telstra must really suck at rolling out updates.

Oh and the GS 3 according to them still hasn't got 4.1, OMG OMG Samsung suck, never buying another Samsung phone again.......

:rolleyes:
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Just enjoy the JB Sense 4+ themes, not much noticeable difference between ICS and JB anyway, if you want Google Now it works on ICS anyway.

No one wants this thread to get locked like the One X did. Well, actually I think that's quite a good idea. We can reopen it when the release date is nearer.

From now on, anyone who whines about Samsung or whines about JB being released 40 months earlier will be given an AOSP build of FroYo for their device. In fact make it a beta version of Cupcake. And I'll make it so that you can't remove it.
[HTC One S] rgbggb:
Seriously, im starting to get sick of people posting carrier deadlines...

Get it through your thick skulls that Telsetra is realeasing their update to friken carrier bound phones not unbranded phones !!!

The HTC update will be released by December... So unless you wake up in the morning and you get the update in the following week,

please refrain from posting bull**** on this thread, if you have nothing to do, go poison some other useless pokemon thread.

Thank you very much

PS: usaff22, You made my day

Well, what if the VilllePlus RUU is just damaged, not intentionally encrypted? :)

Honestly I'm more pissed off of the fact that when I turn on speakerphone and switch back to earphone, the proximity sensor does not disable the screen anymore while in that call.

And back to topic. While flashing this VillePlus RUU, it says sign error, not device incompatibility error. I'm not convinced about how intact this RUU is.
[HTC One S] --anx--:
Where I can find JB Sense 4+ themes? In "Themes and Apps" section there's the three new themes, but they're buggy, well, some graphical parts aren't optimized for qHD resolution (control buttons in Video Player, landscape mode, warning messages shows the lower part much longer than it have to be...things like these)...

I've saw that you've released a ROM with Sense 4+ apps and skins, but I've read that some apps (torch, messages) don't work, and new skins, when applied, turn the screen black and go for a reboot... :(
[HTC One S] electro`:
Okay, but not everyone has an o2 device.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
There is a large difference between sense V4/ICS and JB/sense V4+.

- Pretty much all the apps have been retweaked in terms of the UI etc. i.e. the browser, camera, keyboard, gallery etc.

- more themes introduced as you mentioned

- themes for the SMS app

- improved camera quality especially for the exposure/white balance

- USB OTG

- project butter, which will be noticeable

- notification tray improvements

- the one X with JB has improved vastly for performance, battery life and audio so the S could also improve a lot considering it has the better hardware and better battery life due to the more PE chipset, smaller and lower res. screen

Amongst other things.
[HTC One S] cheddar 151:
Weren't you the one who said the HTC update will be released in October?
[HTC One S] Elloco305:
Damn That sounds sweet.

Sense is awesome. Sense+ must only be superb.

If you put aside the fact the it was announced to be released this year as opposed to Q1 2013 from the start. We would all be too happy to get it any time this year or even in January.

Just my two.cents. :)
[HTC One S] rgbggb:
I did, and back in the day we all believed that after DoCoMo realeased a statement saying that the updates were coming out on october, but that statement was wrong, and the last 20 pages of this thread has posts of people who actually asked HTC customer support for the JB update and most of them are talking about december. Add to that the fact that a lot of european carriers are getting their updates by end-december/early 2013, so the HTC OTA for unbranded devices should be out in the 45-day period before that.

My point was, dont take an unrelated info and make a fuss out of it. Carrier-release dates affect only your carrier-bound phones.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Only for one person that happened, and it works for everyone who doesn't use the flashable zip, but pastes the apks instead. Torch works but messaging doesn't. I am awaiting a logcat of the messaging app.

Both the VillePlus and the DroidDNA RUU can't be damaged. Seems intentional, especially when they have been released by different people.

But nothing that currently makes the phone unbearably unusable atm, no? Everyone can still make a phone call, which is what phones were built for in addition to web browsing, messaging, music, instant messaging, social networking, the list is endless...
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I get you a logcat later if you not got it by then.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Yes the phone works perfectly well for all of those tasks, however, the phone will feel even better to use once we get those improvements improving the end user experience even more. What is the point of google/htc even bothering with any software updates if you look at it that way?

reception and wifi performance could also improve with the next update meaning better battery life, performance etc.

If you just want the basics of a smartphone and don't care about user experience being improved, might as well stick with the likes of a desire etc.

HOS discontinued on 3 in the UK..

http://www.store-3.co.uk/3-three-htc-one-s.html

It looks like users on the network won't get the JB update at all..:confused:
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Just because a network stops selling the phone doesn't mean that they will stop supporting it/releasing updates for it.....

Also, the phone is still being sold on the official 3 site:

http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Devices/HTC/One_S
[HTC One S] electro`:
What are you talking about?

The phone being discontinued on a site has nothing to do with Jelly Bean or any updates.

If the update doesn't come after December, then you can *****.
[HTC One S] kwiggington:
Tmo usa still has it on their website
[HTC One S] Jonny:
Really?, sorry but I know encryption when I see it. I have prior experience with it from my Samsung tocco lite days where people used to encrypt SWF themes they made to make the code unreadable.

The RUU is encrypted. If it was internally damaged I would absolutely love to know how the hell a phone is meant to flash it... Come on guys, a bit of logic please...

P.s I've read the last maybe 20 pages of this thread and I'm amazed I haven't seen any moderator action/warning to tell the whining idiots where to shove their complaints...
[HTC One S] 'AL':
Yours is not the Indian version .... In India officially there is only the s3 version
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Yes, software updates are good but what's the difference getting it October or December, still getting it in the end.

Thanks, appreciate it. Thought the zip was corrupt but didn't read it fully. Thanks.
[HTC One S] Vauix:
I'm sorry, but you (and one or two others) have dragging this threat in endless circles for the last 20 pages. You keep falling back the same arguments again and again. People try to reason with you and wish to learn you the obvious thing that the perfect phone doesn't exist. But there is no point in arguing with a person who has no intention to listen. Your consumerism is blinding you from the obvious fact you choice to ignore. Which is, in my opinion just disrespectful to all the other posters and readers of this forum. The same goes for calling HTC crap. It sounds to me your trying to justify your decision of buying the OneS which doesn't seems to be what you wished it is, by calling it a crappy phone.

Sorry for being so blunt but this seems to be going on for ages now all over these forums. I'm not trying to start a rage war of any kind. I just want you to realize that no one wants to read this (certainly not the the loads of people who actually love this phone) and that it has hardly anything to do with the jellybean discussion.

If you wish to complain about the oneS's shortcomings (in your eyes at least) write a letter to HTC, this will give you the biggest chance of someone reading it who gives a rats ass about it.

Non the less is wish you very good luck on your hunt on the perfect phone. I hope you will replace the oneS soon, whatever keeps you from posting here...
