Nope, going by the one X and the Europe and UK 4.0.4/sense V4.1 releases, we should get it around next Tuesday-Wednesday (I hope).
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I'm branded with T-Mobile UK, they said to a One X owner that the Sense 4.1 update would be coming in OCTOBER! I haven't received the 2.21 or 2.31 update can't can't run the RUU as my CID is not included in the android-info.txt file... (T-MOB005)

And keep in mind I haven't even got the 1.78 update, still on 1.77.110.5...

I wish so badly that RUUs would work on branded devices...

And the store employees don't know cr*p, they said Jellybean was coming in September and that you could downgrade if you didn't like it... that explains everything!

Update to 4.0.4

I have not received an update yet... Unlocked HTC One S.

However; I downloaded the update package off here but I cannot boot into recovery mode - does anyone else have this problem? I hold volume down then power up but phone keeps restarting normally :(

Cheers.

i just got my phone today from UK. i am not locate on UK but the phone is from UK and lock.

i read that pepole have got update but no in the UK yet?! is this true or i have a problem?
[HTC One S] clewis:
The update is still not available in the UK mate for some reason.
[HTC One S] tye_time:
Yeah it is weird as on the main HTC UK support page in the news section for the phone it says the update is now available? If it's as long a wait just for this small update I don't want to even think how long 4.1 will take :(

I have an unlocked One S and have been checking everyday but still nothing...
[HTC One S] john boot:
And that the annoying thing... if they didn't have it as available on their site it woudn't be as bad.. its like Im literally checking my phone for updates everytime I use it for anything lol... well hopefully not too long now to wait.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Hoping we get this update today or tomorrow as it is now 2 weeks since Europe got the update.

I just sent them a email expressing how disappointed I am regarding the updates for the S i.e. length of time it is taking them to get the updates out and how it is being handle and that if I had known this, I would never have gone for a HTC product, dread to think how long it will be till we get jellybean etc.

I suggest that everyone who is still waiting for the update to do the exact same, here:

http://www.htc.com/uk/contact/

If enough of us do this, maybe they will actually notice that a lot of people are getting pissed of with this area and step their game up.
[HTC One S] enemyrex:
I did that a couple of weeks ago but was told that I would have to wait as it is been rolled out and my phone will let me know when its available
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Sounds like BS to me, I haven't seen one person state that they have got the update OTA yet (unlocked and unbranded in the UK) on this forum and other forums.

If this update isn't out by the end of this month, I am just going to root and flash custom ROMs, will be my last HTC device, shame because the phone itself is superb.
[HTC One S] enemyrex:
this is what one of there representatives said to use earlier today on live chat looks like we might have to wait longer then expected.

Luke W.: Hi damian, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.

Luke W.: I understand that you're enquiring in to when the latest update will be released.

Luke W.: What software version is it that you're looking for?

damian : yes the 4.0.4 update

Luke W.: I would suggest you to follow our official website and social media networks for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about the new software.

damian : i have been and your website says it was released in europe on the 22/08/2012 but yet the uk still has yet to receive it

Luke W.: I would suggest continuing to check for updates on your device over the next 6 weeks and see if your device then picks up the software update.

Luke W.: I cannot be specific as to when you will receive it unfortunately.

damian : is there anyway of finding out a more accurate date for this? or is there a RUU we can use to install this update manualy?

Luke W.: At this current time, I cannot be anymore specific.

Luke W.: I do apologise.

Luke W.: There is currently no RUU for this device.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
There is an RUU? Lol

[HTC One S] boulek:
No.I am selling mine.I am pissed
[HTC One S] aimthemask:
I also have HTC__001 CID , currently at 1.78.401 still haven't received update of Sense 4.1 :( waiting anxiously...
[HTC One S] xwolfn:
its look like then when 4.1 will be out then one S will get the 4.0.4 update :laugh:.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
They need to get themselves sorted out with these updates for the S, many people have already returned the one S for bad signal, chipping issues and I am sure that if this update, which supposedly fixes/improves a lot of things isn't out soon then many people will be returning the S for the reason "lack of updates/priority" especially when they still seem to be releasing a new mobile every month, which again they said they would stop doing before the release of the one series :rolleyes:

I did have every intention on keeping the one S for at least a year or 2 and I didn't think that updates would be much of a problem as HTC usually are very good and are quicker at getting them out before everyone else, but it seems like they have improved in terms of the quality of their phones and sense but have dropped in their quality for support, therefore I will be considering and most likely moving to one of the new nexus devices when it is out in November, such a shame because the S is a fantastic piece of kit.

And yes I know, if updates are such a concern, then just root and flash custom ROMs, but I CBA as there is always little niggles with custom ROMs, which put me off.

Maybe they are just so slow with updates lately as they are still bringing ICS to a lot of their other phones?
[HTC One S] tye_time:
I've just done another check now and still nothing... This will be my last HTC phone; will only get a Nexus after this!
[HTC One S] AbadiSSH:
Me too, Looks like this is my last Android Gadget, sick of Samsung Galaxy S1, S2 then moved to HTC thinking they are better, but in fact they are all in the same ship. iPhone rocks or at least Pure Android phone (Nexus) will be better.
[HTC One S] clewis:
Same for me I'm going to move to the next nexus after this phone
[HTC One S] john boot:
I also think I may end up going for a nexus device next time as with Jelly bean its now a decent OS its its vanilla form

nothing new yet....

If anyone with CID HTC__001 gets the update please notify here
[HTC One S] drf208:
I live in Spain but my One S came from UK. It's still running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0. I check for updates every day, but still nothing...
[HTC One S] will1987:
To those with HTC_001, why don't you just install the 2.21 or 2.31 RUU? If you don't want to setup your phone again, you should be able to backup your data first using adb (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844032 is a tool for those who don't know which options to use).

Alex: Thank you.

Alex: The latest update has been released on 22/08, however, it does not reach all the devices at the same time.

Alex: You will have to wait until it reaches your phone.

Haven't tried it myself yet as phone is on the charge.

Hope this works, but I doubt it will.

It is beyond a joke this update for the UK now. HTC have completely ruined their image regarding updates/support (not just because of the S, but also cause the X and other phones), they were great before and better than most companies but not any more, they're all just the same now, SE are best but very slow and hopefully Motorola will be the best after their recent announcement regarding this area.

Poor show HTC.

That code went through successfully but still no update available. ANNOYING as this is meant to fix the home button issue that is making my phone painful to use.
[HTC One S] gingi007:

[HTC One S] tye_time:
Still nothing for me... It is a joke for sure, maybe if HTC stopped releasing so many variants of the same phone they could concentrate on software updates and not alienate their existing customer base!

[HTC One S] ratedr75:
Spoke with a friend of mine who is a 3 store manager. He has it on very reliable information that from now onwards that HTC will be updating carrier branding updates before sim free.

I'm taking him as gospel as he has very rarely been wrong before (was a couple of days out on update and phone release dates) but nothing that has been blatantly fabricated.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Wow! IF that is true, then this has just confirmed it for me, never buying another HTC device again.

Going onto the live chat support now and seeing if I can get any further.

complete and utter joke this.
[HTC One S] markeemark:
If it is true then they must just sit on it after they've developed it because the carriers modify the update themselves before it goes out and that takes time
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Just of support system.

As usual get no useful information, just the same "sorry we don't have that information"

So in other words if the above is true then will have to wait for the carriers to release the update and then sim free devices will get the update? lololololo

Way to go HTC, you sure are making the best decisions in order to increase your profit again.....

Nexus device(s) can't come soon enough!

EDIT:

This would explain why it has taken so long for UK devices to get the update in the first place, if unbranded handsets were going to receive the update first, it would have happened weeks ago.....

- Sent from my HTC One S
[HTC One S] ratedr75:
I've been thinking about the conversation I had today a little more........

It would make more sense for HTC to push the updates to the network branded handsets first because I would guess that they will generate more money from selling the handsets to the networks with the branding than they would from a sim-free version.
[HTC One S] Afro Az:
Surely they'd make more per unit sim-free as they aren't bought in as big quantities as those sold to carriers. However, I don't really see how that has any basis as to why HTC would update carrier branded over unlocked. As mentioned in either this thread or the Q&A version, the only people that really care about the update are the likes of us, here on XDA, already owning the 1S. Lay-people probably have no idea, so favouring carrier locked phones in that respect would heed no advantage.

I have an unlocked, unbranded UK phone. I've tried to force using the dialer and still have no update. I don't have any of the major problems that many seem to be experiencing, so I'm not sweating it, but it is always nice to have an update, especially if it brings us closer to "project butter".
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Yeah, what that guy said above is true. T-mobile, vodafone, orange and 3 branded phones have now had the update....

What benefit does this bring? All it does is harm the sim free device owners by making us wait for this long, it doesn't affect branded phone owners at all, it is not like they are going to get the update any quicker.......

I have sent them an email expressing how appalled I am with the updates/priority for the one S and X and this new policy of theirs now amongst a few other things.

I would strongly recommend everyone here to do the same as if you have hundreds of people sending this same complaint then they might listen and do something, where as with only a few people, then it is very unlikely they will do anything. Even the people who are on branded/locked phones should send one of as well.

Suppose we should post this in the one X etc. forum as well, as this will apply to every HTC phone now?

To send an email to them, do it via here:

I just updated my wifes one S today and it is now 2.38.110.5 looking at it though it has the same radio and kernel as I have on my one S 2.31.110.5 so is this not the case of the networks playing catch up and rebranding the firmware version to a higher number

If this is indeed the case we had this update on sim free/ debranded devices weeks ago if not then the ruu on football's thread is always an option from what I've seen of this update its no different to 2.31 I would rather wait for jellybean if the rumours are true one x is getting it on October so we shouldn't be to far behind

Just received update

Hi, just received update as well. UK unbranded unlocked phone. After reticking the check for updates box. Android 4.0.4, Sense 4.1, software 2.31.401.5, api level 4.23.

Had fight with HTC support yesterday over it. They provided no color, other than would be "soon". Suggested a hard reset may help make update available. It didn't, so hour setting phone back up, but worth the try.

Couple of initial thoughts - is definitely faster, and the reception is not hunting between H, 3G, no bars, etc. Have had the crap reception issue, especially data, since buying the phone.

Hopefully all good now. Time to start moaning about no/delayed 4.1 now.... probably two months after everyone else as with this patch.
