Sometimes I get the same problem.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-confirms-incredible-s-ship-froyo-will-get-update-24-soon-after

I wonder what this means for our over due upgrade.
[HTC Incredible S] fixxxer2008:
were we ever even 100% confirmed to get 2.3 on the evo from google/sprint?
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
I think the only upgrade they ever officially promised was froyo but for how often we were getting upgrades it seems odd we've been so long without one. Especially with evos still on back order some places.
[HTC Incredible S] fixxxer2008:
i don't think the evo will get gingerbread at all tbh. well except ports from the devs. face it guys, the phone is going on a year old shortly.
[HTC Incredible S] aimbdd:
funny.. .the people over on mac rumors complain like hell that their two year old phone cant run the newest software.
[HTC Incredible S] fixxxer2008:
never said the evo could not run it, i said i doubt we will get it officially. :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
It's almost a year old but there must be a lot of demand for it still if some places are having trouble keeping them in stock. HTC is known for supporting their phones and right now it's still the best one sprint has imo

And honestly, for all ever trash done topic users talk, I would love to be able to rub it in their faces that we are 2 or 3 builds ahead of them lol
[HTC Incredible S] aimbdd:
haha no i wasnt making fun of that, meh never mind haha

[HTC Incredible S] aimbdd:
what are you talking about?
[HTC Incredible S] taadow1030:
That is why I have mixed emotions about Htc' s underwhelming offerings at MWC. As long as the Evo is top dog at Sprint, we should see regular updates.
[HTC Incredible S] Madrenergic:
Guys, do read the second part of the article: "will get 2.4 soon after". 2.4 is Gingerbread. If you've been following MWC 2011, you might remember that 2.4 is just HTC's own numbering for their own spin on Gingerbread with additional coding from their side. For all intents and purposes, it is Gingerbread.

To put it in further context, remember that HTC has been using the 2.4 along with the title 'Gingerbread' throughout MWC, and in fact touted their entire MWC line-up (save the Incredible S) as having '2.4 Gingerbread', when we all know there there has not been any Android 2.4 release, nor even any indication that Ice Cream Sandwich is close at hand.

So yes, the Incredible S will get Gingerbread, just not at launch. In fact, the article and source both say that the Gingerbread upgrade will follow after shipping.

Also, for your own reference, the primary source which this topic on a topic on a topic was based upon: http://twitter.com/htc/status/37504723019894784

On a side note, however, I do wonder about the implications of HTC's move on the future numbering of Android releases. Assuming that HTC has received Google's blessing to do this, does it imply that Ice Cream Sandwich will not even be a 2.x release at all, but 3.x (3.1?)? After all, given what Schmidt said about the next 'I' version of Android being device-agnostic and an upgrade to both Gingerbread and Honeycomb, this seems likely.
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
There's been a lot of confusion about what 2.4 will be called but I'm pretty sure Google announced at MWC it would called Ice Cream (or Ice Cream Sandwich). HTC on the other hand has been sending mixed messages so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
[HTC Incredible S] Madrenergic:
True, but here's Eric Schmidt's exact words from his MWC 2011 keynote:

Nowhere does he mention that the next iteration will be 2.4 (or even specifically Ice Cream Sandwich, for that matter), but I haven't actually checked Google's other press releases, so I can't be sure on that either. When you think about it, if Google has actually already announced the next version as '2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich', why should Schmidt beat around the bush about its number and name?

Anyway, I've been doing some additional research, and one of the things that has been wracking my brains is that other manufacturers also seem to advertise the OS of their upcoming phones as "2.4 Gingerbread", so this suggests it can't simply be a HTC-only phenomenon.

For that matter, there seems to be a 'leak' from ViewSonic that claims 2.4 is actually an official update of Gingerbread from Google that adds support for dual-core processors and apps to ensure that apps are compatible across Honeycomb and Gingerbread devices (and not just HTC's spin on 2.3). Makes more sense now, doesn't it?

In addition to that. The same source also says that Ice Cream Sandwich will likely be 3.1, rather than 2.x. So no, Ice Cream Sandwich will not likely be 2.4.

[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
ya, I read his quote after I wrote that so who know. He would make a good politician for how vague he is. I just hope HTC hurries up and either gives those of us with older devices an update to something or leaks a sense ROM with something newer than Froyo. We went from getting updates once a month to nothing for three now.

They did the same thing with us as far as releasing the Evo with 2.1 and we had 2.2 within a month or two so hopefully it won't be too long.
[HTC Incredible S] Madrenergic:
Funny that you said that, because HTC has recently announced that the entire Desire line-up will get 2.3 Gingerbread in Q2. Given that the EVO was released later the Desire, and the fact that it's really just a 4G version of the DHD, it would probably get a Gingerbread update too.

And here's another update, and it's certainly a confusing one: HTC now says that what it originally called 2.4 Gingerbread is really just 2.3.3. But if that was the case, what about all the other manufacturers who said they were running 2.4 Gingerbread? Are they going to come out and say that they're actually just running 2.3.3 too? :confused:

Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/mobiles/item/21915-new-gingerbread-is-233

Also, this could hint that 2.4 might be Ice Cream Sandwich, but until the above is clarified, nothing is certain. Boy, am I confused.
[HTC Incredible S] Madrenergic:
Speak of the devil!

HTC Incredible S port for HTC EVO 4G

Perhaps this could tide you over in the meantime? ;)
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
Still Froyo, rest assured I've been keeping an eye on Sniper's blog for that GB/IC/whatever RUU to show up though. :)
[HTC Incredible S] MentalDeath:
I guess the Hero was an exception :( Canada sucks get all the good phones last (well I personally blame Telus since they are lazy asses because Bell got the Desire Z quite fast) and our 3 year contracts suck big time...

I think 2.4 is Gingerbread just for dual-core and "universal" app support (Honeycomb to Ginger and vice versa) as stated above, and I read it some where also.
[HTC Incredible S] bitpatrol:
I'm just happy we don't have contracts (or can choose not to have I should say) ... Sure contracts allow for cheaper phones but I'm sure in the end you'll pay more then the initial full price of the phone, at least that is the case here.

As for getting the the latest and greatest phones last ... We can have that here too, like the iPhone or something like the HP PALM Pre or whatever.

Anyway, going off topic here ... sorry Didn't want to hijack the thread.

I'm sure there will be an update to this phone, what it will be remains to be seen, HTC has some great phones, but in the communication department they are missing some radio-roms I'm thinking ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Ok a little info:

Google pronounced 2.4 as gingerbread, so al the developers like HTC pronounced that they will run 2.4 instead of 2.3.

Later on when 2.4 was about to release, Google renamed the version to 2.3.3.

All the devs already had there announcements that they would skip 2.3 and go straight to 2.4. but 2.4 ==2.3.3, so they won't go to 2.4 but to 2.3.3

I hope I'm clear. Also don't got any sources, since this is way I read all over again.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
facts

android 2.3.* = gingerbread

android 2.4 = ice cream...

honeycomb stays 3.0

now when htc plans to skip

2.3

, it would be mostlikely 2.4 and not 2.3.3 since thats not a skip xD

so ice cream = the thing that will show on the IS, and lets be honest 2.4 gets released next month as planned, so why would htc even bother by givin 2.3.3?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Sorry but Ice Cream Sandwich IS NOT 2.4

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/38311/android-2-4-april-release-date

As far as I know 2.3.3 is a maintenance release and isn't the reported 2.4 release, as 2.4 will enable apps designed for dual-core processors to scale down to single core CPU's. It also might include hardware Acceleration for the UI.

Ice Cream (tentatively labelled 3.1) will be a release designed to merge the Honeycomb features and UI into the smartphone line, so there will be more of a coherency between the two in terms of looks an features.

[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
i have bad memories about when HTC said this regarding the Hero...
[HTC Incredible S] bitpatrol:
Found this on Wikipedia ... Granted, I don't know this has any merit but I thought I'd post it anyway. If you check the SOURCE you can follow the little links (numbers) to read where they found their information. Might be interesting to some?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
@lOst.prophet we'll see ;-) or the 30 websites i got the onfo from are bs or the one you mentioned ^^ time will tell
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Looks fairly solid info, but 2.3.3 is what the Nexus S currently has, so I wonder if it already supports dual core apps?
[HTC Incredible S] hammondnav:
2.3.3 is a minor update on top of Gingerbread. 2.4 is another update on top of 2.3.3, and is not Ice Cream. It's still Gingerbread. New HTC phones released within the next few months will ship with 2.3.3. For now, 2.4 remains down the road a little bit (5 months or more).

And for the record, EVO 4G is indeed getting a Gingerbread update. Write it down!
[HTC Incredible S] xXNCHAMPXx:
Well the Desire S is avaiable on amazon with Android 2.4...at least the text says it. So maybe the Incredible S will get a upgrade to 2.4 soon ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
That's wonderfull, I wonder how they can release it with 2.4 when its not even available. Hmmm....
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
this is TOTALLY confusing ... the IS ships with froyo ... will the next update be 2.3.3 or ice cream sandwich ?? man ... numbers and food are the worst combo EVER !!
[HTC Incredible S] Brucew0617:
Actually from that message, I am sure it will update to 2.3 because when DS released, it is 2.3 unless WS will get 2.4 when it be released.
[HTC Incredible S] Rusty!:
2.4 is (or was replaced by) 2.3.3

There was a leaked dev release of 2.4 on the Nexus One, it's build was GRI05

Shortly after that 2.3.3 was released with the build GRI40, making it newer than 2.4
[HTC Incredible S] hammondnav:
This is accurate. 2.4 existed for a limited time and doesn't any more. 2.3.3 is what it's being called these days and I'm guessing it will stay that way.

The Incredible S will be getting 2.3, along with a few other HTC devices. The Verizon version may even launch with 2.3.
[HTC Incredible S] ilegend:
soon!!

2.3.X for incredible s is under final testing by htc and will be out soon. source is from the htc reps testing it at events.

So that is 3 months with Froyo for us that have S-On...

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
With the release of HTC new smart phones including the wildfire s, I was wondering if the new wildfire s Rom could be ported to our wildfire. Both models doesn't have much difference in hardware apart from a slightly faster processor and a gpu, its roughly the same.. with a same screen size though different resolution. The Rom that comes with is 2.3 and has some extra features for instance Facebook face tagging which I saw on the wildfire s first look video posted by HTC on YouTube. So I'm just wondering can we expect this latest Rom on our wildfire?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrst:
i dont think htc will release 2.3 on wildfire considering 2.2 took so long and didnt even have almost any improvements due to lack of hardware.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcfar45:
I think the original poster is asking whether anyone here on XDA will be able to port the Wildfire S ROM over to our original Wildfires...in my opinion it is probably possible but we will have to wait and see as no one has the Wildfire S yet
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
Yeah but it won't be long before its released. Since it was possible to port the DHD Rom to desire so maybe its possible for wildfire s Rom to wildfire too.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
I am not counting on it to be honest, because, the Wildfire S is a totally different phone compared to the Wildfire. It is now much more of an Aria / Gratia.

Desire HD is pretty similar to Desire, with the same screen resolution, almost same CPU (Just a mildly upgraded one), same GPU, and, only increased screen size, internal memory and RAM.

However, obviously, if the WF S ROM is ported to WF, it will be a great thing, it is just that I am not crossing my fingers (yet)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_GP:
Not really, the differences in screen resolutions roils imply terrible amounts of resizing with little to no benefits for the old wildfire, except 2.3 that is.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
Im sure there must be more benefits like the new sense version and UI modifications, but what im more excited is a 2.3 sense Rom.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddyspud:
Not sure when we will c a sense 2.3 Rom for wildfire maybe a while n then buy then honeycomb will b out on asop lol
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
Yeah but I prefer sense roms over aosp ones. And BTW, theres also a 3.0 sense Rom build for the HTC flyer.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norulzsachin:
is there a way to port the new sense ui to the original wildfire,coz i like that ui..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
No. Because it is not designed for QVGA. Also, for Sense to be "ported", HTC must release the code AFAIK.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
Porting the Wildfire S ROM is like porting the Aria ROM to Wildfire.

It's almost impossible.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcfar45:
No one knows whether it is impossible yet as no one has the wildfire s... it could be possible despite the resolution difference... probably not but we will have to wait and see

Many people try most if not all the ROMs. Each ROM varies per person and it seems SuperNova is a good new ROM. Usually these threads get locked because the ROM is truly dependent upon user experience, and your thread title is pretty bad so it does not lead people to really think what you want.
