Hi guys, just wondering. Will our myTouch 4G get the official ICS update at all? or they will left us behind?
Initially HTC said they would, but tthen the representative said she was "confused" or something. So no I don't think we will get the update.

I just saw a list of devices that will be receiving official ics updates. Mt4g is not on they list. Ill look for my source and post it.

I know it says that a variety of devices which mean more devices than what are listed. But look at the list. Devices that came out way after the mt4g. Also mainly dual core devices.

I highly doubt that the mytouch 4G will receive the official ICS update from HTC. Technically the device is done with its shelf life, which is why i doubt that it'll get an update. It's fine with me though, seeing as my contract ends this year and I'll be picking up a device that will either be updated to ICS or already comes with ICS on it.
According to HTC all phones released in 2011 will get ICS and Canadian variant of MT 4G known as Panache was released in 2011. So it should get ICS update

Thanks guys. I hope to see the custom ROM with ICS but most of them the camera is not working. not just for the MT4G, most of devices are the same. Do you know why it is so hard like this?

What phone should I buy unlocked? HTC one X and galaxy s III don't support T-mobile 4g. I really want new phone but don't know what the best phone that supports T-Mobile 4g is? I don't want the one S

Then you are out of luck for a couple of months, unless you want the s2, amaze, or sensation
I was just hoping anyone had a hack or sth for one x or s 3, guess I'll wait till s3 come to our magenta

Can't "hack" a phone to make it support different frequencies. That's at the hardware level.

Why don't you like the one s?
And the art HOX is essentially the HOS with a bigger screen. Unless you go over seas for a euro version but doubt it will work on tmo 4g..
If your wanting the latest n greatest phone I would wait a few months when the next band of phones come out. I am not all to impressed with the sgs3. But that's my onion which is apparently opposite of 9.million other people

have you checked out the Galaxy Nexus? It's pentaband meaning that it also supports T-Mobile 4G as well as AT&T. My friend has it and he gets 4G on his Galaxy Nexus.
They sell it for $400 over at Google Play Store. You should check it out
Yeah I was thinking of getting the nexus. I most likely will wait for next batch though

Dumped htc for saying an update would be released by certain time then waiting months...now with samsung they release an update in a couple of countries yet us in the UK still waiting a month later...? Why.??? Even my unlocked, unbranded note 2...!!!?????

I'm on the same bandwagon. Don't worry. Samsung is a lot faster with updates than HTC. So I think you've picked the right company, but the GENERAL rule of thumb is that you should buy a phone and be happy with the software it comes with, and don't expect it to be updated. Regardless, Unlocked N7100 from Germany DBT and still nothing. I bought it based on the Note 1 which ALWAYS got the updates FIRST from DBT. Now other countries have received their update and I haven't yet. Oh well. I'm still terribly happy with this phone and software! I can't say that the update will make it much better xD It's fantastic just the way it is, but I'm an update junky! haha. So just sit back and relax It'll come.

i love my GN2 but Samsung is a S**t company when it comes for updates,they never say anything what changes are made on Updates and they only do updates only in few countries which it barely sales the phone and not to the countries which they sold most
Tell me which phone manufacturer announce exactly when updates come? Moto is even worse based on ics update. When I got the phone it was mentioned all over the website promised ics update.
Then after almost a year they release a schedule for update which promises q1 2012.. End of q1 2012 came and all no update. A month later announced q2 2012. End of q2 came and gone. A month later the update finally came for me. At that time the is still many users without ics. Even today not all received their ics.
Btw the ics update made the phone laggy. Full reset removed the Laginess for a week or so before it came back. Don't tell me it's an app I instants because the only app installed then was line, whatsapp and tango. And mx player.
And this is supposed to be a ics phone. But quirks much better in gb.

In general, updates are delayed by carrier testing, so they can make sure it causes no issues on their network, but it takes even longer for unlocked/sim-free phones as they're tested on many more networks.
However I will say that if you're so adamant on getting updates ASAP you bought the wrong phone, the only phones you should look at for that are Nexus phones. Even those can have their updates significantly delayed by carrier testing though.

Root ur phone. Get official updated firmware. Flash with odin. Done. Whats so hard.

My point was the fact that the official update was released in a few countries about a month ago and yet nothing in the UK..? And yet Samsung has already started going on about the next update to be released in jan/feb !! We need this one first please..!!!

I don't really buy that story. For carrier phones yes but what about international nonbranded phones?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'd imagine that Samsung are doing a pilot release to a few countries first. If no major issues are reported then they release it to everyone else a short time later (like a month or so).
Makes sense really when you think about it, IMHO anyhow.
Btw waiting for the update here in Ireland too if it makes you feel any better

The international htc one is not compatible with usa 4g networks afaik and any sim free phone is unlocked from the uk.
You have placed an order with us for the HTC ONE, we appreciate the order.
The original launch date was due to be the 15th March. We have today been advised officially by HTC that the UK launch date has been put back to the 29th March.
We apologise for this delay, but you will appreciate that this is out of our control.
We hope to ship all back orders as soon as the stock arrives and will update you as soon as we can with further information.

So delayed. Bravo. I think I will go for sgs4)))
Just got it too.
Well, if it means that the devices are more thoroughly checked, so be it.
I'd rather wait the extra time for a solid device.

I'd cut them a bit of slack TBH. Samsung did the same last year with the SGS3. Anyone remember the "hyperglaze" thing didn't go to plan. I think the white was delayed? Speaking of white... iPhone 4 in white... how delayed was that?!
So HTC have caught something in their QC. Cool.. just means we're going to have less chance to come on here complaining about poor hardware as they are working on it. I'd rather have a working device than something buggy that needs to be replaced.
Its a bummer but its only 2 weeks... don't wish your life away though!
I don't get this whole because the one is delayed I am going to get the S4, is the S4 likely to come out before the HTC One if so then I can understand but if it isn't then I don't get it! Also tbh I think those that are easily ready to jump ship because of a launch date rather than the phone being poor, were not really that interested in the phone in the first place imo.

Reminds me of that EVO vs iPhone cartoon.
I'm looking forward to the one. I put my name on the "remind me" sign up on t-mo's site. I'm pretty pissed that they've been so quiet about this. It doesn't seem like a good marketing plan to introduce just the iPhone 5 when they could blitzkrieg advertising by showing they'll have the best 3 phones possible, GS4, One and [the unholy] iPhone 5.
If they're looking to show people they have the best phones out, they sure are doing a crappy job of it. I'm not sure which phone I want, the S4 or the One, but I'm thinking the One is the best option I've got due to the speaker locations.
I'm not excited about getting a Sense phone again, especially since Sense 5 de-standardizes all the Android functions I'm used to, but I'm sure there will be rooting and ROMs galore in no time.

If we don't hear something soon....one might think that indeed.
Iphone sabotage! At&t site says the 16th and some stores are selling already so the iphone has to be to blame. Chumps
is it worth trying the dev version out on tmobile? Will it be possible to just flash the radio to work with tmobile's 1700? or does the official one not support 1700 either?
