From htc blog comment:

"Some new information about Desire S.

On August 20 HTC will release an official update for developers which anyone can download from the HTC's dev site. The update containes final version of ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 3.6. No FOTA update is been released because the update requires repartitioning of the internal memory.

Got form youhtc .RU"

SO WHY THE .... DONT THEY RELEASE UPDATE FOR DESIRE HD THE SAME WAY

---

Desire HD and Desire S are the same phone (desire s has smaller screen BUT same resolution) and s has less rom

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=3776

so htc thinks desire s users are smart enough to backup their phone but desire hd users are not???

what happened to htc pr bs: "For more background, due to how storage on the HTC Desire HD is partitioned – and the larger size of Android 4.0 – it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data in order to install this update. While technically advanced users might find this solution acceptable, the majority of customers would not."

[Desire HD General] Nece228:
This is obviously fake, incredible s has same partitioning and it already got ota
[Desire HD General] I_L_I_J_A:
Well update for desire s is aleady 10 days late, more like 40 days late since htc said june-july. So something is not working with htc

---

And what about this from htc blog comment:

" AhmedEgypt • 20 minutes ago

−

this screenshot is an e-mail has been sent to me by HTC when i asked about the ICS release for both Rhyme and Desire S

the update won't be via OTA (Over The Air) but it will be RUU (Rom Update Utility).

this Rom will be available at HTC developer web site in 20 August 2012.

but unfortunately this Rom will erase all Data stored in the internal memory, details in the pic. "

HTC IS BUNCH OF LIERS!!! THEY WILL NUKE DATA ON Desire S and Rhyme but not on Desire HD - they think Desire S and Rhyme users can save sms/phonebook but htc considers DesireHD users stupid We gave up to 650 Euro for Desire HD and they consider us stupid for that.
[Desire HD General] rohithksaj:
i strongly believe that releasing ics for Dhd will affect the sale of their Desire V C . . . . .

Even though our fne doesnt support sense 4 . . Ics with sense 3.6 will be great than Desire V C with sense 4 . . . .

Go to hell HTC . .

Please all DHD users, sign it like i did for our beloved almighty DHD, We can't let HTC mess with us just because they wanna increase sell of their new devices!! They did the same to Sensation when One Series came out, did not give out sense4 but gave just sense 3.6, enough is enough!! Please share this petition far and wide!! HTC should know what we think of our DHD, it is still one of the best out there after all these year!!

[Desire HD General] motherninja:
LoL. i know majority of us here just angry at HTC about their decisions to cancel ICS update for our DHD, but I would like to see them continue to competing with Samsung, LG, Motorola, Apple, and other smartphone manufacturers. Because it will be a bad news for regular customers like you and me if they really quit from Android world, because we will have less choices. Am I right? :)
[Desire HD General] brad808:
Nope your wrong we aren't regular customers. We are the advanced users. As advanced users retaliation and ban of HTC is a must. desire hd users will single handedly take down htc and then the other manufacturers will see what happens, then start turning out updates within a week.

Ahhh the wishful thinking, helps me sleep better at night instead of having nightmares of buying another phone that gets pulled from the update list way before it's time :banghead:

[Desire HD General] Madaz2:
i am sooo sick of reading these ICS gimme threads

so many idiots out there either don't read have no idea or a little of both

this may seem harsh but a lot of people need to grow up and accept the company hasn't made 100% all the right decisions (no one rarely does) so long as they work towards a better future

remember even bad publicity is publicity
[Desire HD General] mahipal007:
with jelly bean nightlys working fine i dont care much abt ics now
[Desire HD General] qlap:
I have written an LONG, very LONG email to HTC regarding why it took them so long to realize that the phone wont be upgraded and if (they just said that the ics update is canceled) they instead give us an android 4.1 update.

I also told them why it is so important to have the latest version of android.

All i got as an answer was:

AND NOT A SINGLE QUESTION WAS ANSWERED THAT DAY :(
[Desire HD General] Benignoid:
I don't really care about this anymore cuz we got a working 3.0 kernel now, couldn't you port it over to yall's phone?

[Desire HD General] Madaz2:
WELL is everything working on your device pretty sure it is, pretty sure most of us don't need ICS to make our phone calls work better or our sms work either

Well I have some good news,HTC did phone me today, I missed the call but will be phoning them back when I get home. Higher level now has it and looking into it. Will update when I phone later

[Desire HD General] texas-saluki:
if we can get the files for both the DHD and Inspire that would be grand.. most of us on this don't want Sense...or if we do can reformat the device and start from scratch...

I have been waiting to put ICS back on as I thought the files were coming and would help get things a bit more stable :o

[Desire HD General] MadMax:
Ok everyone, I just got in touch with the guy at HTC and here is the news.

He said that right now HTC is gathering up information on what has been going on, and then will be talking to me, right now no time frame but it has gotten to them. He talked to one of his friends in Tech at corporate office and he said they are getting way to many emails and calls about this, they said something needs to be done. So he will be trying to keep me in the loop of what is going on, but it is looking good.

So with this, I am going to be working to get this on a big site, because we need to show, we will not stop.

Thanks everyone for showing your support, all together, we might have just made a huge impact

One final thing, could all you guys with Twitter and Tumblr try and get #GiveUsICS trending, maybe we can use that to our advantage?

[Desire HD General] MadMax:
Great idea about the twitter thing, and you can email all the sites you want. If they will like to ask me some questions, they can send me a email, i will PM you my email, so you have it.
[Desire HD General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I agree the twitter idea is great. I'd recommend to arrange a time and date to do it, as a flood of tweets would capture more attention, and as a result more will tweet it, as a knock-on effect.

Although I have a Desire Z, I'm willing to help, and I have 2,300 followers

But I think #GiveUsICS is too generic, we should use one so htc will know its for desire hd. Maybe #GiveHDICS? Or something similar?

[Desire HD General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I think HTC should realise, that by releasing the update, they would make so many customers happy, and keep a lot of people on HTC. They are losing a lot of market share already, and they will keep losing, as many people are leaning towards Samsung, myself included. They need to understand, that staying loyal with devices (especially ones that were considered flagship) will keep customers loyal.

I am really waiting desperately for ics update for my explorer but there doesn't really seem to be any chance for that to happen.If someone has some news kindly share
[Desire HD General] techlogik:
Its not happening. HTC confirmed it on Facebook and other sources. Device with less than 512MB Rom...not getting anything. They are probably trying to get rid of most of the older phones, get people to upgrade to a HTC One model, because they are putting 4.1 out for that in the future also.

[Desire HD General] benno4403:
So is there any change we will have a 100 % working android 4.1?
[Desire HD General] MadMax:
I would say otherwise. My HTC contact says this is going places, and I can believe him because he knows how it is with rooted phones because he has one. Give HTC some time to get all there information collected and we will see what happens from there.
[Desire HD General] begimaad:
We want ics now! They are saying that they will have to remake partitions and delete existing data...which due to 'our polls' is not suitable for advanced users..

They should release the update then it should be our own choice if we want to update or not
[Desire HD General] Andy:
The system & data repartition was one of a couple of reasons why the update was canned. The other reason was that "User Experience" was negatively impacted.

So you may be happy with nuking all your data, but your handset running at a cool 5 fps might not please you so much. (I picked the 5fps, no more details about the user experience have been released.) And for those who update officially, there is no official downgrade so those users who updated without knowing what they were doing would be stuck.
[Desire HD General] angramenyu:
If they put the RUU update for grab on their website with a notice saying that this update will erase all user data and may cause lagging, then people that don't know what they're doing will be just stupid to update and then complain about it. So, that number one. Number two; they can just release the kernel (they should have one since they did an "extensive testing"), and developers will do the rest.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I agree with you, releasing the kernel source code is the least they could do in this situation. Lets hope they do something.

[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
whats your post then ? he gave another reason why htc didnt go with update ,why do you feel the need to post things like that .
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Sorry, he failed the duck test. Besides, countless xda users will verify that ICS + Sense runs without significant problems.
[Desire HD General] MadMax:
Well I should be getting a call from them in a few days. That is one one thing I am going to push for, but what would be nice is them giving the info on how to resize the partitions would be nice also. When I do talk to HTC, I am going to have a list of things to bring up.
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm beginning to think they're just fobbing you off now :(
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Care to elaborate? How is my post trolling? I've done nothing more than re-iterate the information HTC have provided.

I have much better things to do than troll people on xda. I've also got much better things to do than worry about an OS update to my phone.

HTC have given the reasons why they did not release anything. If you do not want to believe it that's your decision & choice.
[Desire HD General] MadMax:
Also I just talked to them yesterday, the people that are going to be talking to me about this is just gathering all the information up from all the sources. Give them a chance, it is a large company and they also have other stuff they are doing

more than 15.000 people want this or at least the nessesary files so people can make their own ICS stable.
