Any news guys about the long waited for 2.3 ??
(Last news was it will be released on the first 1/2 of April)
Awwwwhhhh, by your thread title and the devil avatar - you had me going there that their was some more news on this!
From what I have gathered, the last I heard and saw yesterday was that the network Three UK announced via Twitter that they are going to be rolling out Android 2.3 very shortly for their branded DHD's and that it was still in the testing stages - other rumours and reports suggested that Three UK won't be rolling it out until May time now but nothing has been confirmed.
Most reports suggest that the un-branded users will get the Android 2.3 update first before the branded users - but still, no date has been announced apart from that it was expected sometime in April.
In my opinion though, from what Three UK have announced - I don't think that both the branded & un-branded users won't officially see Android 2.3 at all now until May time or possibly slightly later.

my apologies if the title & the avatar are misleading.
hopefully we (branded & unbranded users) all will get it around the same time, unlike the 1.84 which I'm still waiting for, Convinced myself us the unbranded users will never get that update. currently stock with buggy 1.72.
I agree with you Liam, we will get the update much later then the end of April .
I have the inspire 4g which is the same as the desire hd and I am not sure when we are getting the update I rooted and installed the Shokouhi Super Ace rom with the leedroid kernel and now I don't want the update I have tried a few roms but this one has been the best I can overclock to 1804
CM7 is already available, for your gingerbread fix and as a plus it will get rid of Sense as well.
No need to appologize for the title, I found it amusing afterwards lol!
If we do get the Gingerbread update very soon then it's likely that we will not see the 1.84 update and I reckon that the Gingerbread update will indeed be the next OTA update.
According to another article I read the other day about the Gingerbread update - Besides the DHD, Gingerbread is also going to be released for the older Desire, Desire Z, The Incredible S & a couple of other models that I can't remember the names of.
Latest news today - Three UK have confirmed that they will be rolling out the Gingerbread update for their branded DHD's in the middle of may;

That's HTC Desire, not Desire HD.
Oops - my bad! :/
Surely though, if it's coming to the older Desire - then that means it will definately come to the DHD shortly.

What I don't understand is why release the 1.84 update for branded DHD's but not the unbranded ones. When clearly branded and unbranded users have been effected by there buggy very buggy 1.73 build.

you won't lose the sense ui when you root, that will only occur when you install another (non sense) ROM
Once you root, you will get an amazing ROM WORLD

Wasn't the Gingerbread update announced for the first half of April?If so, where is it?
Am I missing something?

I'm assuming this would mean an update to at least sense 3.6 as well. It would make little sense for htc to build several different versions of ics sense.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah just read this on Phandroid, totally unexpected but a very welcome one!
Another things is that the Sensation XL will be released "soon after" the Sensation. So we will probably be getting custom ROM's based off Runnymede before the official one is released!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Good news, everyone!
finally its happening!!!
but i think that as always the cooked ROMS will be batter than the source
Why is everyone suprised!!
HTC is supporting devices up to 18 months of release, the DHD was sold on OCT 2010, furthermore we have enough evidence now of continuous support to their devices
the classic Desire: Eclair > Froyo > Gingerbread || it stops here because of the slow S1 and bottle-necked internal Memory
the DHD: Froyo > Gingerbread 2.3.3 sense 2.1 > Gingerbread 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 > upcoming ICS
Three major android updates! the only surprising part in this is actually our latest Sense 3.0 update which was unexpected, if you look at the Sensation and EVO3D both devices are still officially on the old slow QHD Sense 3.0, the Sensation has many leaked test firmwares including GB sense 3.5 and the beautiful ICS sense 3.6 but officially users are still waiting
and actually EVO3D owners received this as bad news, since they are slated to receive the ICS update in the same time frame as DHD owners given that the EVO3D is highend almost a twin the Sensation sans 3D, it's not really fair to make them wait
The EVO3D situation can be explained, i think it didn't sell so well, while the DHD is their biggest selling Android device so far, still being produced and sold, i doubt they will upset all it's users
as for Desire S owners saying DHD owners are lucky?! why the DHD/DesireS/IncredibleS are twins and we have been receiving the same updates, like the recent Sense 3.0 update
I've seen posts for the last few months with people nagging and saying its impossible ICS will come to DHD, XDA should make a sticky saying, yes people believe it already HTC currently offers the best Android updates/support
If Samsung made such announcement then i would be surprised!
I'm hoping the RCMIX3D team comeback and cook an ICS rom for the DHD.

That's why I really in love with my DHD and sold my Nexus S even after it received official ICS update and several good quality custom ROM based on official ICS (but I don't care, after all vanilla Android is really boring anyways even for ICS, HTC Sense is so much better, trust me ).
I guess that this would be the last major update (ICS 4.0) release by HTC. If HTC decides to release a new firmware beyond ICS, it would be a pleasant surprise for us and that time we will say it's time for DHD to go and welcome a new generation of DHD. ;-)

you honestly can not expect more support from HTC after a stable ICS, 4 major software update including 3 major android updates! no other manufacturer matches this!
The new generation of DHD is here, it will be announced on the 25th!
Their commitment in releasing ICS has definetely locked me into getting HTC all the way.
I mean , Motorola phones definetely has superior build,but their after market support sucks so much you can't even get BEYOND 1 major update for a phone. Don't even talk about Samsung....

HTC didn't announce ICS update, despite its brothers getting it.
We assumed it was hardware limitations with the smaller RAM (512mb)
But now HTC have announced the new HTC One V with ICS and Sense 3.6/4.0.
And guess what? It only has 512mb aswell.
So RAM can't be the issue. Maybe CPU power?
Go pester HTC on Twitter/Facebook now for your update!

The issue is that HTC has A LOT of phones. The Desire Z has already received a major Android update. It is not a flagship phone, nor a big seller.
Or in short....$$$$$$$$.

True, but the Desire Hd (released at the same time) is getting the update.
And that phine hasn't just had one, or two or three major updates....
It's had FOUR MAJOR OS UPDATES.
that beats Apple with their iPhone 3gs.
It's gone from 2.2 all the way to 4.0 with numerous huge sense upgrades.

I think Nospin is right; commitment to the development of Android varies among different manufacturers. Commitment to profit does not. There is limited upside to them providing an upgrade. Chances are, we'll still purchase the next HTC phone when we get the money and/or discounted price with contract from our carriers, despite them choosing not to upgrade our phones. In other words, why provide us with an additional free service, when they're going to get our money in the future anyway. In fact, providing the upgrade might *deter* us from buying their latest and greatest.

That's cause the Desire HD IS a flagship device.
But I hope so, we will get custom ICS from HTC ONE V. I think it will be brilliant
I don't think the desire z will get a OTA update either. I think they plan it this way so that we have to upgrade and won't be content on sticking it out with our old devices. Either way the desire z will get ICS from cm9 most likely. It's taken longer then I wanted but I know it's in the works.
Just use Andromadus. I know it's not official, but you can rock it now. Which counts for a lot.

what my opinion is that HTC released the sense 3 OTA to make people either root, or upgrade.. my guess is that HTC will never release any OTA anymore

If this was Samsung, then I would agree with the Desire Z getting ICS. However HTC has already given us an unlocked bootloader as well as the source code for the Desire Z. There's no need for HTC to get involved anymore. This is exactly why places like XDA are important to the rest of us who "knows" our devices are still kicking strong because then we can just do the work ourselves. And besides, even if Desire Z does get an ICS update: the majority of us will still prefer Custom ROMs anyways. This way, everybody wins. HTC maintains a healthy reputation with us and we get to save some money.
heh, by "we", I mean the talented devs that still support our devices. I'm personally useless.

I agree, I think there would be two benefits of having ICS come officially to Desire Z / G2. First would be that that ROM would be a lot easier to modify and tinker with by the dev's then what they are working with currently. The second benefit would be in the form of less people asking for eta's on cm9. I would rather use a custom version of a rom than a stock rom, but the same doesn't go for everybody. I bet a lot of the traffic on xda is people just wanting ICS on their device period.
I can't wait when HTC relase HTC One V I think, we will get ICS with sense 4.0 with out of problems

ICS is coming to both the Desire HD and Desire S, both of which use the same chipset (including camera chip) as our phone. So the problem should be solved soon (One V probably won't be out much sooner, if at all).

If some developer port kernel from desire hd then probably we will have full working ICS with sense ui. Port from Desire HD is easy.

It’s been nearly two years since HTC first announced the Desire HD, making it a proper dinosaur in the smartphone world. Despite its age, the manufacturer had been planning to give the smartphone a fresh new start with an Ice Cream Sandwich update. At least, that was the plan, but now it seems that HTC may have reversed course, and the Desire HD won’t be seeing an official ICS release, after all.
Back in May, we saw a list of which HTC models were due their ICS updates, and when; the Desire HD fell in the July-August range. We’d assume that was still the case, were it not for Canadian carrier Telus updating its own list of future software releases, noting that the Desire HD’s Ice Cream Sandwich release is now canceled. According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”
That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.
We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

Are you kidding me? If you really had to post a thread about this, you could have posted it in general. Not in the development section.

First of all, wrong section.
Second of all, you'll notice that their source is actually from an XDA thread, this one. (And seeing that the linked page is the one that contains my post I guess I'm the source )
However, an XDA user contacted HTC on their Facebook page (link to post) and got the following answer:
Tom - volunteer helper said:
HTC are not cancelling their upgrade to ICS for the Desire HD as far as we know. If Telus have done this, it's unilateral on their part.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's mentioned in the thread linked above, and that thread also contains an email reply that a different user received after emailing HTC's support and the email said that the update is still happening.
My guess is that HTC were hoping to get the upgrade ready by now, they got issues so they postponed the release, and some kind of miscommunication happened between them and Telus.
Either way, we're still in the first quarter of the time range HTC gave for the upgrade. So unless HTC makes an official statement that there won't be a release, then there's no reason to despair.
i wanted to share this with you all
so ppl can talk about it
we are here to inform and help each other
if this is not the proper place im sorry
i hope this is BS
we all want to see something more in this device

According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”
That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.
We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but HTC never mentioned the Inspire 4G to get Ice Cream Sandwich, despite it being the AT&T version of the Desire HD.
Do you think the Inspire will get ICS?

HTC, unfortunately, has no control over the devices chosen to get an upgrade. HTC may make software that is for a device, but the carrier may say no. Sadly, ATT has deemed the Inspire to be End-Of-Line, and will receive no future updates. GB was the last, and final update.
if the new Desire C can run ICS and new Sense on a measly 600Mhz processor, the desire HD certainly can too
Android 4 Life
Desire HD will get ICS, if the Incredible S with the exact same specs is getting it too, then it would be trivial for HTC to do the same for the DHD.

Well I can understand HTC Inspire will don't get ICS, but what's app with Desire HD?

one I do not believe Telus will not upgrade it. If they do not, I will be organizing a petition against them plus they will be getting some nasty phone calls. Plus I have a neighbour that works for Telus (but does not work in mobile) but I will ask him for help with this also.
There is no reason for the Telus Desire HD not to get it, it is not at the end of life, so there should be no reason. I think someone at Telus posted this because they know we are all waiting for it
Also shouldn't this be in general, and not development
Edit: I can not even see the phone on Telus site anymore (does this mean end of life)
Some interesting info

Yeah, kinda raging at people who're getting all pissy about it. Look on the official site and you'll see it says that by the end of August we'll have ICS w/ Sense

Is there maybe a chance that we get Jelly Bean immediately instead of ICS?
or other question, if vodafone got the rom from HTC already so vodafone can customize it, shouldnt there be the original HTC rom already be available?
