Is everything about the incredible 2 in this forum? Is this a joint forum basically lol? And if not where can I find inc 2 forum? Thank you!

This is actually the Incredible S forum..........no forum for the Incredible 2 yet...
I'm starting to see a few people pop up in here with the Incredible 2 on Verizon. They should make a separate forum but until then hang out with the Incredible S users.
Ok is the inc 2 going to get all the updates the inc s gets? Cause inc s is supposed to get android 4.0 our something and I want that for my inc 2 lol, if I'm going to buy one lol

Incredible S will get gingerbread 2.3.x 2nd quater of this year. Incredible 2 shouldn't be to far behind there after. Verizon has been prertty good with updates on Htc Android phones.

"Like the Desire S software update, the software update for the Incredible S will bring with it Sense 3.0, along with its goodies like a 3D launcher, and a widget-izied lock screen. The Android version will also be bumped to 2.3.5, and will also bring Google Talk with video chatting capabilities to the handset."
How come no one have posted these links?
So, looks like HTC won't ignore the IncS owners! For now...
*edit*
(damn, just noticed someone posted this in another thread, but w/e, this way more ppl will see it!)
The question is when ....

Read the twitter link from PaulOBrian.
"So Saga and Vivo (Desire S and Incredible S) have official Sense 3.0 builds now. "
If the builds are done, it shouldn't be long before they release it.
But then again, you never know with HTC. For me it seems like they're pretty slow at updating their phones...

Better slow and solid, than fast and buggy
HTC gives the word SLOW another meaning.

Agreed. I had the original Samsung Galaxy before the Incredible S. The updates from Samsung were buggy and slow to non-existent. That was what prompted me to move to HTC since they seemed much better.
So why does desire s have it and inc s doesn't? They are virtually the same.
And saying there are a lot of phones not having it is a non-sense argument. VIVO is not an old phone. So it is our right to expect better service

Dude we have gb, and sense 3 is coming...
Quit your *****in.
What's nonsense is your incessant whining.
We will also get ics I'm sure.
Htc is one of the best for updates, if you're complaining about this then you probably just shouldn't own an Android phone.

Well, if they continue updating this rapidly we'll have cm9 before official sense 3.0 x)
Anyway, anyone who's gotten the update yet?
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
As someone with 16000 S-On Im really glad to hear this .. as for the banter on HTC's speed or lack of for updates ... HTC builds are cranked out faster unofficial or official than any other phone models I own ... Normally I don't care much for official rollouts but as there's no s off working for me atm ,knowing that there is confirmed rollouts coming I'm quite happy to wait ... Definate worth waiting for solid n stable than quick n buggy fota...
Can't wait for this to hit, Mike will have a new base for his Android Revolution HD Rom.
Yes that's fantastic news. Hopefully with the new official Sense 3 ROM, more custom ROMS will be available for us IncS users instead of having devs and cooks port ROMs from other handsets. Perhaps soon we'll have more choice of custom sense ROMs! =)
Yeaa, can't wait. Hope they don't put the project on hold, because of the resources they need for ICS device updates.
Got bored of sense 2.1. The 3d launcher looks amazing.
Does anyone know if the dialer issue got fixed in 2.3.5?

Id asked HTC and they replied that Incredible S would surely get a Sense 3.5 update but they didnt have exact schedule now

In fact sense 3.5 will use less system resources than sense 3.0 and thats why devices using MSN8255 can get this update
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Does anyone know the exact differences between Sense 3.0 and 3.5? I've tried both ROMs before and there a few UI changes (e.g the tick and the checkbox is different) and you can jump from dialer to contacts, favorites etc directly from the jog dial and the bottom.
Hey guys,
Thanks to Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo we now have a full system+recovery dump of the Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich.
http://android.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/04-nov-icl23d-galaxy-nexus-boot-recovery-r51
This is really cool.
Wow, hopefully now developers can create ICS inspired custom roms. Cheers!
there's like 10 of these over at the dhd section lol
No ... This is a system dump from the phone ... Not an SDK dump ... This good ...

Where did you hear this?
These are the files you need to port a device. They need to be altered severely to run on the incs. Extreme development knowledge is needed to make use of this. However a developer could grab bits and pieces from it if they have greater knowledge in one area than another.
The ics update will be coming to this and many other htc devices as stated yesterday to myself in a bell store by an htc rep.
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
but it won't come anytime this year, probably end of Q1 or Q2 2012.

You guys are reading into this way too much.
All they did was give a few obvious ones that would get the upgrade. They never said the rest of their products weren't.
What developers can do with this?

Let me quote myself:
"Right now[...]"
You see? I'm talking about what they've said so far, but what'll happen in the future; sorry, I can't tell and therefore I won't do anything else then hope that HTC will give us an official update to 4.0.
But from what Google said when they showed 4.0, I think that it'll come to the IncS. Sometime.
And to your last part; no, they didn't.
"We’re continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich."
From the same link that I linked in my previous post. So, I'm fully aware of the fact that this only seems to be a preliminary statement from HTC.
Thanks to Vitodecadalto for sharing.
Check this link out, our incredible s will get ics + sense 3.5 update.

Amazing if true.
Would definitely be nice to get some official ics for our device. Thanks for the info.
awesome news, thanks for sharing .. strange that this update has only appeared on only one news site. hope it gets confirmed by others and won't only be reposted.
Yep, it sounds good but I rather wait to see if it comes out to be true.
Don't like false hopes and false expectations.
i hope so....
I'm hanging for ics and sense, just hope it will happen rather than hearsay
Just thinking how the custom Rom's will rock with ICS .................... :O
I hope this news is reliable!

Here's to hoping and wishing.
Looks like the news is true - here's an article from Germany's computer magazine c't: CLICK
Sorry, they don't have an english version, but you can follow the links in the article.
A rough summary:
the link from the OP is mentioned and they say HTC announced to update Desire HD, Desire S and Incredible S in April without naming a specific date. The go on mentioning a press release from HTC Netherlands which promises an update to ICS + Sense 3.5 in February for Sensation, Sensation XE and Sensation XL
Great news! Hoping for the best. Thanks guys!

3.6 is the one called sense 4 in some sensation roms?if so I prefer 3.5..
I hope it will be true. But I will be unsatisfied if they make a bad update. I think everyone has used the stock sense 3.0 ROM before. The icons are too big. Don't like Sensation XL. XL also has WVGA screen but why the icons is small?
P.S. Sorry about my bad English.

Arrived today from Amazon (penny phone!). Called my brother, he reported good volume and very clear quality. Seemed the same on my end, so my call volume and quality is not a problem.
Activation was easy, and set-up included a question about HTC-something or other that would check on my phone use. I was able to decline that, but I intend to get rid of all the CIQ stuff.
Right now it is upgrading to ICS, I am looking forward to it.
Wheee!

It's a good phone. It's not a crack flashers phone but it's a good solid phone but I will warn you the ics rom brings some new bugs with it. I might reccomend the one x over it at this point because it's newer and has less risk of eol status but if you need a removable battery and expandable storage than this is the phone for you and if your coming from an old single core 512mb of ram setup android phone than this phone will feel like a rocket

Welcome! I'm new to the dev scene here myself too but it's not hard to get started, especially with the Vivid. I did the S-off trick with a coated paper clip in one try, you just need to be careful and get the right contacts. Just be sure to read the SuperGuide, the Guide, and the Tutorials before actually downloading any zips and trying to flash them. It's very very important to thoroughly read all directions, as the people around here know exactly what works and what will brick your phone... I know from experience as I'm on my second Vivid.
Once you're Boot Unlocked, Rooted, and S-off, the Vivid is your oyster and you'll have a ton of fun flashing it with new ROMs, Kernals, and MODs.

I have yet to see miui for the vivid. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong place. I am used to all of the phones I have had with tons and tons of roms but I guess some phones get better marketing than others and are a lot more popular.
I think there is one, but it's basically sense stripped stock rom with the miui features added

Thanks to all, seems like a great group. My last phone was an LG Optimus V, and compared to that the Vivid is a rocket!. Very snappy. I rooted it, took the sd-card from the Optimus and put it in the Vivid. DL'd TiBu and restored all my apps and their data. All working the way I like it.
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks, got lots of good tips already. I'll post some screen shots one of these days. I am not much of a Sense fan, prefer my old favorite launcher. Slowly de-bloating the thing, ATT puts way too much junk on the phones, but they all do.
Thanks again.

Screen Shots
As promised, a couple of screen shots. Notice the app drawer, I have 50% transparency on that. Also notice the icons at the bottom. The first is All apps, second is Apps I installed, third is called Tools and I can put anything I want in there, same for the fourth one called Fun.
My widget is BeWeather Pro. The only app I put on my home screen is ICE: Emergency. I recommend it.
Welcome! I have to say that you picked one of the harder devices to develop for, but there's a strong community here and elsewhere. There are many things in motion for this device, although you may have to look elsewhere for them.
