you bet lots of dissapointments lately

Ohhhh the irony!!!! The Desire HD/Z were the devices that launched their htcsense.com service, a service that could backup all of the personal data on your phone into the cloud. Earlier this year they shut said service down and this has resulted in the death of the ICS update. They were born together and they died together. Very poetic or something...

My next phone will not be HTC made!!!

I love HTC's hardware and design, but they screwing up the software side more and more. Can't they just release a 3.0 kernel for DHD for developers? I mean they're multi-billion dollar companies and can't even spend a few thousands to develop a 3.0 kernel? We have developers doing the same thing in their free time here . . .
I wouldn't have been this sour if they didn't say "We will release ICS for DHD next year" and went "Oh no, we won't, why? Because **** you that's why.". My next phone will be a Google phone and it will probably come from Samsung.

Bye bye HTC. Nothing more to say.

They've already spent a bunch of time and money on it. They need to just "accidentally" leak their source as is. That's free.

Looks like HTC is started to dying like Nokia or RIM..

Well I was going to get tge latest HTC pgobe in October, now I think I will look elsewhere.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

this is not explanation!
Atleast they can STILL PROVIDE UPDATE
because No one is FORCING U TO UPDATE if u fear to lost the data....
some people dont care about that so just give the update, those ho fear to lose some data, no one is forcing them to update if they fear!!!

Just hand it out to the devs, HTC...

How about they do it like samsung or iPhone via a computer where u can back up all u data and install what ever ics they provide and restore back u data? It's just a lame excuse from them not to do it. Probably its full of bugs and all dhd newer then a year will be returned. My 2 cents

I personally think the main reason this has happened to HTC is because of the whole Beats crap. Before HTC had an image of well built technically advanced handsets and focusing on the whole Sense thing. Over the last year and a bit this has turned into Beats by Dr Dre and all that kind of nonsense.

Chill guys, put down the pitchforks. We just need source for the Desire S or Incredible S and then it'll be fully working.

"Fitting all that Ice Cream Sandwich into the Desire HD would require repartitioning the internal space, and repartitioning risks overwriting personal content"
I think HTC forgot that we have something call the micoSD card...:silly:
With most apps, photos, videos, personal data can be backup to the micoSD card, how "much" personal content will we risk to lose?
well play HTC well play :good:

If you promise me you'll buy me a car and you don't but I manage to build one by myself, should I just say ok no problem?? It's a stupid example, but they said they would release it, so they had to release it.
I personally won't buy anymorew from htc, unless they do something awesome, and they haven't been doing it for the last year, so I have little hope....

The X10 itself is a Great Phone the Problem is just the SE and their Devs, they are to dumb to make a running 2.1 /65k Xd), they should fire all and call the XDA Devs they are 100 times better. Such a great Phone but such a outdated Software.
Vote for the x10 for sure. SE may have done a terrible job keeping this fine piece of hardware up to date but given time I'm sure the devs here will fix that. With 1.6 on the x10 we are not seeing its full potential.

Correction: persistently delayed update. Im not a legal expert but personally I feel that I made a purchase on a product that was falsely advertised. X10 is great on paper but why advertise the 2.1 update if they can't delivery it until October.
Also do you not find it slightly annoying that the post on SE blog regarding update was made this morning (23rd), and delayed by weeks again when most people were expecting the update this week. Surely they knew this weeks ago?

It's not really persistantly delayed. It was set for Q4 this year, got pushed forward to Q3 then went back to Q4. Shuffled is the word I would use
Still...I would really like to know what on earth went wrong...
Don't get me wrong, I think SE are a bunch of twats (can they even crack their own bootloader? They should give the devs some help and we would have CM6 running in no time), but I still like the phone the way it is. It suits my needs and I can't ask for more than that.
And yes it's very annoying that they have to break the news to us while everyone is waiting for the update that was supposed to go live any second now

They said they would keep updating 2.1 but its so out of date what's the point. I would be satisfied with multi touch or dual touch but no! This is my first se for a while, and the only thing stopping me going back to my HTC wildfire is that x8 has better screen res, gpu and CPU

HTC gave up on updateing small HTC Tattoo long time ago, and now there is alot of GREAT roms that works way better then original HTC Sence rom. Froyo and Gingerbread. Hope that same thing would happen to X8 and we'll see few great roms based on Froyo or Gingerbread.

This is an email that I recieved from HTC after emailing them asking about the sense 2.0 update (some things removed from it for my privacy):
Dear ,
Good question! We understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device.
I'm happy to inform you that your phone, the HTC Evo is definately on our list to recieve the 2.3 Android OS update. This update is expected to include an update to the Sense UI.
At this time, we don't have an exact launch date. However, we estimate that it will be available in the second quarter of 2011 (anywhere from the beginning of April, to the end of June), assuming that there are no major setbacks. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be availble for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/htc) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/htc), and of course, HTC.com.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number.
Sincerely,
Megon

Uhmmm what? If i wanted the iphone i would have gotten it already. Screens to small. Os is eh.. i have an itouch for apps and music so there is no plus there. The evo is getting gingerbread...
So what about the iphone 3g? Apple is no longer supporting that phone either. hmm...
The fact that you're posting in forums designed specifically to incite interest in rooting phones and installing the latest firmware tells me you are either an idiot or troll, op.
Likely both.
I don't have an iPhone so, well, I'm not sure I'll ever have an iPhone.

Have fun with your iPhone. One less troll on xda.
Whaaaa? I thought April Fool's Day was on the first. In so far as I can tell, the only thing Apple has to offer that Android doesn't is the number of higher quality games, and that gap is shrinking in a big hurry. Beyond that, my Evo does everything an iPhone does, and I don't have to put up with AT&T or Verizon. Bonus!
And at any rate, didn't Apple and AT&T brick a bunch of iPhones last year with OTAs?
Yea, and they will brick it remotely if its jailbroken now too, bunch of phone-nazis!

The evo will not be the first to get the GB update, but we should get it eventually

We're here live at Google I/O, and the folks from Mountain View have just shared something rather interesting -- a coalition of manufacturers and carriers committed to making sure their Android devices receive the very latest updates. All four major US carriers (and Vodafone) as well as HTC< Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola are on board, and all will guarantee you timely upgrades to the latest version of Android for eighteen months after release, provided the hardware's capable.

18 months is the period in which an android device will get that promised regular update and support. Obviously.
I'll believe it when i see Vibrant GB source on my desktop
Best announcement of the Google I/O would be if they announced that Samsung is pushing GB to all Galaxy S phones.
I want this announcement. D:
Now the question is: Does this announcement apply to phone that are already released and sold. ex. Vibrant.

ICS probably will need specs that are like the SGS2. So don't be surprised if we don't get ICS, but I'll be happy with GB, since Samsung has to update it.

I wouldn't be too sure of that. The Nexus S is using the same SoC as the Vibrant and google is going to pass at least one major update to it, Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus our GPU is powerful enough to supply the holographic UI.
Look at the N8 for example. The CPU is weak but the GPU can still nicely support the UI along with no lag.
If Nexus S gets ICS and we don't.
I'm going to Samsung's store and saying HERE i dont want your phone and go back home and pick up some other great phone of that time.
their the same damn phones, both should get the same treatment, no?

It wont be from HTC. They have said they are done with QWERTY phones.

Moving away does not equal "We will never make one again". Besides, releasing one keyboard model for a single carrier is not exactly a crazy notion.

Especially if you consider how many G2 users might actually renew their 2-year contract for a free upgrade to a G3. (most of my family has already done this with their own phones, and I'm eligible to upgrade as well from my G2... if there was a comparable phone for it...)
IF this happens I hope they follow suit and also release it in Canada / Worldwide under the same bands as the DZ. That's the reason the G2/DZ has such a strong community, because it's worldwide.

One would hope, it would also be more profitable for HTC to be able to sell the same phone on a worldwide market with simply different branding like they did with the G2/DZ. It's just a matter of, is there a demand for it outside of say T-Mobile users. (I would say there is, but HTC would have a better idea of the numbers).
The name Era 42 makes sense for a keyboard phone as 42 would be the perfect number of keys for a 4 row qwerty phone. The G2 has 43 including though shortcut keys and search key I never use.
Omg i hope this is true. Im getting an S3 the beginning of next month so i better hear some more news SOON.

Same situation here!
It sounds nice but I don't think HTC will make another phone with KB. Hopefully I'm wrong because I'm an HTC fan. I see the BLAZE Q is coming out pretty soon and spec. aren't that bad.
