Wal-mart can't even get gingerbread running on the Evo either.
Manufacturer does the updates.
HTC EVO will be one of the first, if not THE FIRST, phone to get an update to 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!
We're comin from a pure power source.

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

They were just using the Xperia Play as an example of the diverse device ecosystem that is Android, NOT on a list of what devices will receive Ice Cream Sandwich.

I dont understand the point of wasting money debranding it, your phone is still unlockeable from bootloader, and if we are based on the same terms, its likely that off any direct updates that factory unlocked phones will have.
A debranding on a carriers phone is only a makeup, but will not affect in any way SE updates or changes, because they are likely based on your IMEI

I just realized, I think that image is misleading I mean the HTC EVO and Droid 2 and even that cheap LG thing. I don't think they are getting icecream they don't even have android 2.3.

who really gives a **** about unlocking bootloader now there is nothing out there yet i did it just to get completely away from rogers bull**** and plus its only 15 bucks to give a try which i dont really care about.....but maybe you do

Just got the info that Xperia X10 will get gingerbread so why Xperia play wouldn't get ICS...
Of course it will
Remember defragmenting android and globalization tools, apps and games for any device!
All that to **** Apple Isucks

I'm a distrubutor and according to my sources in SE, they will update to ice cream - both neo, play and arc.
It's said that they won't do the silly mistake again in not having the newest os available to newer modells. (x10/mini/pro - 1.6)

in the OP picture, the Play was shown to illustrate the fact that there a variety of devices running different versions of android on different hardware, enforcing the necessity of one single version of the android API's to simplify development and reduce fragmentation.
There is no promise of ICS.

Yeah, I was already in the Nexus One forum by mistake. I have it bookmarked and brought it up by default, then realized afterwards lol.
So, I posted there too

Wow is this awesome. I live HTC just for the fact they listened and realized and changed their mind. They deserve to make a ton of money for this alone.

so ytf did they do it in the first place
it's a bit late isn't it? the sensation and flier are already locked...

Great news for the XDA & HTC gang!!

Good move by HTC lol. Motorola should be following its leader and listen to us too since they don't know how to make a decent skin

Are they going to release updates to unlock bootloaders on existing phones? Seems like a bit of a slap to say this just after they've released a new line of phones (Desire S, Sensation, Incredible S)?
Still, better this than nothing.

Cool move.. HTC+Android rulez

There has been no comment yet as to whether they will make this retro to other devices. There is no technical impediment to doing so although resources would have to be applied to it on their end. Mentioned on another forum was that even if they do not go there themselves they can back door it to any number of sources in the community. I picked up an sgs2 right as they came but might have waited a little longer and looked harder at the sensation if I had known they were going to reverse their corporate direction regarding locked bootloaders.

It would be cool if they fully unlock the bootloader on the Nexus One. We currently don't have fastboot access to all the partitions.

Just an update to this, in case anyone missed it.
Yesterday androidandme report HTC is releasing an OTA to unlock the bootloaders of the Sensation..

Yep, does look better for the Sensations unlocked bootloader. Another article at tmonews here

Speculation: T-Mobile to launch QWERTY equipped G3 in early Q3

http://androidandme.com/2012/07/sma...ile-to-launch-qwerty-equipped-g3-in-early-q3/

If only, if only...

If they do, it won't be from HTC, as HTC a while back said they were done with qwerty phones.

I think they said they're 'moving away' but not necessarily 100% done

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.

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.

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...

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.

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:
