Sadly there is no news.
HTC have not released a statement saying if they will release Gingerbread for the DHD.
Obviously, with the DHD being their flagship handset, in Europe at least, an update should be due. Probably 2 months away though, HTC have to pollute it with Sense, carriers have to bloat & brand it. The Nexus One has yet to receive it, and there is no carrier branding.
If you really can't wait that long, install CM7.

Thanks for the info mate.
Well that's what I was thinking , being a flagship handset you would think they would try and get it out to compete fully with nexus s.
I am thinking about it however last time I rooted the h boot failed , ain't tried since.
Would like to keep to HTC as this is the second one iv had but the amount of problems iv had with this phone combined with slow up date times make it hard to not move to a I5 in the summer when its released.

. If you is not a problem, would I could tell what is new in the use made CM7. It may sound stupid but one thing is what it says and the other is how it behaves in the use of ROM.
I am interested in particular video, how much fps is in full use?

Sorry I really don't know what you mean. Could you try to explain?

Someone really needs to Sticky a thread like this to stop everyone asking this

I'm felling like a idiot by Samsung.

Well, nine months ago I got the Galaxy Tab P1010, WiFi model. In this time, I was looking for a cheap tablet, and bought this. Two, three months later I was looking for an update, to Gingerbread (the lastest android in this time, because Samsung said no to honeycomb).
I didn't found. But on semptember, a tweet said that Gingerbread was coming in few weeks, wow, I was very excited, soo I waited... On 15st of octuber, ICS is launched, W-O-W. I was surprised by a very, very, very pretty Android.
In this time I was hoping for Samsung(lol), but, some weeks later, the surprise: Just the dual-core tablet will got.
But, I said: Oh no, but maybe someone on XDA will do this ROM, because the android 4 is open source.
November I installed the gingerbread by SamFirmwares, it was good but ICS is better! So, this time, I went on the forums searching and searching.
On december enough project was lauched, so I start to do a idiot thing: Ask for someone do the ROM, I learned the lesson(uff.).
In january, I saw a topic called for: Cyanongemod 7.2 and 9 for p1010. When I saw I think that was another guy asking if is disponible an update, but, was Motafoca saying that will do this. Wow! I spend months and months being a tester with PSO. It was nice, but who saids that it will be soo hard? Motafoca said that is the most difficult work on develop.
But, all this experience make me fell like a idiot. Why? Because Samsung launched Galaxy Tab 2, for the same price but with dual-core and honeycomb. Just Motafoca is working on this now, and... the question:
Do you, p1010 user, fell this way too?

wow, you seriously just said exactly what i feel since the moment i got my p1010. Samsung doesn't port ics to older devices, it just makes new devices so you HAVE to buy their products! and i really appreciate Motafoca for what he's doing for our near forgotten tab! no matter it's taking this long, but i believe he will give us a working cm7 in a few months! thanks for this thread samcortez!

And no Value Pack for us.

Picked up a Galaxy Tab about 3 weeks ago! But the touch screen started to freeze last night! So got a refund from Asda and just pre ordered a Galaxy Tab 2 from Carphone Warehouse for the same price I paid at Asda!
Even with the New one being released! Would have still been quite happy with the old one, if not for the fault!

I'm happy with my tab too (except for freezing, looks like a phone, lagg of support etc....) but i don't want to buy a new device each time there's an android update, i just want to use 1 device for a long time WITH new firmwares. even the very first android device (i think the htc one) got an update quite fast after the release of ics. and this new tab ran on froyo till just a few weeks ago. im just feeling fooled by samsung by buying this device

Well, i felt this way too after the first two weeks where u get good support from samsung, but after they treat u like dirt. And thats why we came to a much better and faster supporting update platform, called XDA Developers!
I dont give a **** on samsung and its updates, i got two samsung tablets p1000 running aokp #B36 and p6200(7.0 plus) with 3.2 stock.
So guess which one is running really smoother with more features?
Of Course my p1000 with aokp!!! Just to mention that the p6200 is actually double fast in hardware specs..
Guys, we got devs who really care, samsung is not even worth this post...

It is samsung following Motorola steps.

It's just frustrating as really love my tab just wish there was some more devs working on it. I don't have the time to go near this kind of project myself.
Hehe my coding is even more rusty than my tab. But now prestigo are selling ics tabs for under €200 and spec is similar to our tab. Grrrrrr

Do you feel notable speed improvement over the original gtab with ics?

Biggest Android Problem ? For How long support will last for Samsung S3 ?

Friends.
Android V5 is near launch in a month or two. So then Android V4 will be old.
Same samsung will launch new S4 with few more months waiting.
Update for s3 then will take even more time to come.
This procedure is going on & on with many bloatwares given by Samsung & also by other companies.
I love samsung phones & Use their phone, But support or poor support is biggest hurdel in buying s3 this time.
I am in serious confusion seeing future of S3.

It will get the update.
SGS got its update, SGS2 got its update, SGS3 will get its update.

Updates DO matter but the update plan for android 4 has been a disaster for ALL manufacturers except LG which we shouldn't even talk about as LG is the biggest joke on the android front. Even the nexus line is a failure. I almost got the nexus S a year ago just because of the whole dedicated concept but now I'm glad I didn't. I don't even think the nexus S will get android 5.
Samsung and HTC are those that I feel is the least slow with updates but still none of them will update their first flagships (SGS1 and DHD) even if they without a doubt can run vanilla ICS great. I thought Sony Ericsson learnt their lesson but apparently not as their flagship this year runs GB and that is laughable.
The only "comfort" in all this is that it's the same for all brands.

This cycle will repeat every year. If you want fast updates get nexus or you can flash roms on the sgs3 to get latest software. If you want latest hardware keep changing phones.
Also what support you are referring to? Why do you need support from useless samsung or any other manufacturer in that matter? XDA is your best support forum and you need manufacturer support only in case of hardware defect and need a warranty replacement or repair

Exactly. If you are confused, then get a nexus so you won't be. Also, who says we are going to Android 5, what about 4.1? Lets not overhype please.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Rumor has it Samsung, HTC, etc have early access to Jellybean in order to make their Nexii. Previously everyone besides Samsung only had access when it was released.
Whether or not this affects the update schedule remains to be seen. If it doesn't, you can either expect early-mid 2013 for the update, or flash it yourself (no company, not even some ideal hypothetical, can compete with homebrew speed).

What are you basing any of this on? I highly doubt we will see Android 5 this soon (unless it is purely a tablet OS, which I doubt).
Based on your logic, there is no point in buying an Android phone.

This.

Android 5 or 4.1 will more then likely come in December just like ics and gingerbread before that. If this is true, this gives you 5 to 6 more months with ics and I doubt the s3 will be as old as you are thinking; sure better devices can come to the market in the next 6 months but let's be real, the s3 will be able to do everything for the next year to a year and a half just fine. I've been with the HTC inspire and this thing is 2 years old yet I rarely have any lag considering I use this for everything including gaming.

Have perfect solution for u, don't by the SGS 3 and keep waiting for the perfect one, I have a Gnex and very much doubt that it will have Jelly Bean in a month or two or three , maybe more like 5 months and in the smartphone age that is like a year. Or go get a phone named after a fruit. See no one will get Jelly Bean before it makes it's debut on the next Gnex and thats just the way the cookie crumbles. Thank the fruity company for making the latest version the "best " one, at least with Samsung you get more from the next version then just S voice as they did with the 4S and a bit more power.

If you rooted, you won't bother whether Samsung update on time or not because you have everything the best XDA can offer you. If you are not rooted, obviously you are not software geek, why bother whether your GS3 running ICS, Jellybean, Gingerbread or any other version? Everything is a big problem to human if he or she want to think that way.

yeah sorry you're right, I was certain I read the other day that they cancelled the plan but now I see it will get it july or august, still very late. And considering that, why wont sgs1 get it officially?
---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
having a nexus phone doesn't guarantee you getting updates in the future. look at N1. and NS got it's first update pulled fast and then it took several months before a new ICS update came. That's why I don't care about the nexus line. And I think that the SGS3 will be a phone that feels fresh longer than any phone before, even with android 4.

ye, even i was thinking about that problem but then i just thought that if android 5 comes out then i will use the customised rom

Custom rom/buy new phone.
Ive had enough of waiting for retarded companies to update things.
Motorola milestone - 6 months late, not fully functional (GB)
LG optimus 3d - not available till september 2012 (at the earliest), sold with the promise of prompt ics update, instead waiting more than a whole year.
Never waiting for an update again. Just gonna buy the new phones.

They messed up on the Dec update and probably had to redo. Unfortunately, company bureaucracy works much more slowly than we do, and a new update cycle can take 3-5 months. This is true for any company that offers warranties - they have to break as little as they can.
Had they not messed it up, however, NS could have had its upgrade hella quickly.
Don't want to deal with company bureaucracy? Flash homebrew (NS certainly had them much, much more quickly). Otherwise there's still no better option.

s3 will get official JB update and may be cm11 or cm12 for the other version of androids

Motorola 4.4

Do you think our phone will receive the 4.4 update? Let's see..
https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...iMW9uT2JjRWwiLCJzZXNzaW9uSUQiOiIxb25PYmNFbCJ9
Edit: Well guys, it's official now..hope razr I will receive android 4.4 soon..

[STATUS]
MOTOROLA RAZR i
The device runs KitKat 4.4

And the future plan is....
"This device will remain on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)"

They do owe us an answer about upcoming support and they are taking long on it. But i don't know if that answer's gonna be upgrading or letting phones die. I mean, they announced and released moto x, and then they just announced another line of phones. Only ones with secure upgrades are d1 and d3 and it's only for 4.2... Things ain't looking pretty good for razrs

RAZR I is 13 months and 2 weeks old, google keeps 18 months support for nexus line, and wants to kill fragmentation with Android 4.4, who supposedly should work smoothly even on older hardware - so, theoretically, I think there is still some chance for RAZR I ... but Motorola still is not google, and I've read somewhere that RAZR I was an experiment for Motorola because of Intel processor, I think that now everything depends if that experiment succeeded. Maybe also Intel would have something to say, but they have already new architecture out.
So, considering all above I'll give 50/50 for an update to 4.4.
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app

the thing is, the razr I is still being sold on many markets, at least in Arg, Brazil, and the UK, not updating this device will be catastrophic, I mean you are OUTDATING a device that you *still* sell? its idiotic, if thats the case, I'm NEVER going to buy from motorola again, I partially bought this device because of the promise of delivering new software updates, and yet, we still are in a version that was released BEFORE the launch of our device.
TBH, I have faith, the razr HD developer edition was confirmed to recieve the update, and that probably means the M too, so I think we could recieve it as well, however it will be the last update for sure.

I hope so ) i was going to sell my Nexus 4 to buy a RazRi (AGAIN) It's such a nice phone i wish CyanogenMod released a rom for it then i would sell up and get the RazRi back

I don't think we'll get 4.4. Maybe 4.3 if we're lucky. Intel have a big part in this too, and whether they co-operate or not is important.

Well, sony has a bazillions of phones, sola is a low end device, and they have their own skin. Moto on the other hand, doesnt have a custom skin anymore, on some markets (UK) they offer 2 devices only (razr i, razr hd), and ours was (still is actually) a mid range. So I think we have a chance, is not the same situation.
Enviado desde mi XT890 usando Tapatalk now Free

I think, we will stay and die on 4.1.2
Main problem is, that every country which is not called USA is "Rest Of The World" for Motorola. And in USA the Razr I is not available.
Next thing is, that the Razr I was sold before Moto was bought from google. So the old pipeline doesn't exist anymore.

I don't care much if we get updates or not. All I want is just a cyanogenmod support which we might be getting soon. Cyanogenmod is a beast which makes our phone is much more usable. Been using it since old Milestone 2. I'm using it as a daily driver on my Photon Q. Will be loving it more if it's available on Razr i. Never experience it on an Intel devices yet.

I was looking for the news on a local brazilian website called Baixaki and found this.
http://www.tecmundo.com.br/kitkat/4...s-sao-os-aparelhos-com-suporte-ao-sistema.htm
It's in Portuguese so i'll translate for you. Forget about the text. Look for the facebook comments.
According to Wesley Albertto and Walter Figueiredo, they've contacted MotorolaBR support looking for the 4.4 update to Razr I and surprisely they answered razr hd and i will receive 4.4. Moto will skip 4.2 and 4.3 and go straight to kit kat, toguether with razr d1 and d3.
Hope you guys find more info, and sorry for my bad english
