According to HTC, Gingerbread upgrade for Incredible S will be on June for Singapore.
"Dear Alexander,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, Incredible S may receive upgrade to Android 2.3 in June this year.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again"
That's pretty slow, my opinion.
Better late than never? LOL
June....I hoping we got the update in April. I guess June is about right. These next 2 months the phone should be out there more in one variation or another in the Canada, the States and some more places overseas.
In my opinion to HTC's reply is earliest is June.

True ....
If it will be as with the Hero, then the update will be released at Christmas time, at best
This has alreayd been posted before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014937
and I'll say what I said there again. Customer services just give a generic date, until HTC make an official announcement, they don't know anymore than we do. I have already seen a couple of leaks of the GB rom floating about (nothing that can be publicly released or flashed due to NDA's) but I can't see any reason for it not being sooner
When it launches as the droid incredible 2 here in the states it will have gingerbread pre-loaded, so there would be no excuse to not have the INCs on GB before that, verizon ad's a ton of crapware to the device and not to mention cdma vs. gsm, we should get gingerbread before the Dinc2, at least I hope so.

A lot of people have been saying that HTC will be issuing upgrades to TP2 users for W6.5 and Manilla on the 6th.
Is this for certain?
If HTC are planning this, why have HTC UK issued ROM upgrades for Voda and Orange on the 28th of September? I mean, if they were planning to release WM6.5 etc. why release those updates so close to that date?
Well the updates for Orange and Vodaphone, that are the decisions of them. Not the decisions of HTC.
It's not certain that it will be there october 6th. It's the day that wm 6.5 oficially will be ditributed. So possibly it can take a while longer before an upgrade comes out. But this is not expected.
Many roms you see at the moment in this forum, are basicly under construction roms by HTC and then tweaked and improved by the chefs.
Also, the "new" roms for orange and voda have the same update as the one for HTC unbranded phones. So nothing new or spectaculair there.
official date
went and asked customer care bout the update,it will be out in 3 -4 weeks time,with a newer version of touchflo 3d
wohooooo
Hi, quarintus and thanks for the reply.
I am curious about this so I've just e-mailed HTC Europe support asking when WM6.5 will be available and if the upgrade will have the new TF3D & I received a reply to my questions from them almost instantly!
Here it is:
Thanks for your email. We are expecting the upgrade in about 3-4 weeks time, and as far as we are currently aware, it will include the new version of touchflo, although exact specs should be confirmed nearer the time Best regards, HTC Europe Support

LOL! Well they do say great minds think alike
I just wish they would do this for the IncS also...
"We wanted to provide an update on HTC’s progress with bringing bootloader unlocking to our newest phones. We know how excited some of you are for this capability, and we’ve put significant resources behind making this change as soon as possible. While we wish we could flip a simple switch and unlock all bootloaders across our device portfolio, this is actually a complex challenge that requires a new software build and extensive testing to deliver the best possible customer experience.
We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.
HTC continues its commitment to unlocking bootloaders and supporting the developer community. Because of the importance of this community to us, please expect an update on this about every few weeks as we make progress toward launch. Thank you for your patience and continued support!"

Does it matter much if we've got a working exploit anyway?
It's not working at the moment...

Not on the newest WWE version, but it does at least work for most people.
If they do this for the IncS, its still atleast a couple of months away. Personally, I wouldn't keep my expectations too high.
Read a site the other day that basically read as ics is available for update to the Vivid. Ill look for the site again and post the link. Any truth to this?

No truth to it. AT&T Software update is showing no updates available currently.

Should've been moved to the trash.
ICS isn't officially available for any device now. HTC says early 2012 for any of their devices.
I did read that our device will be avaialbe in early 2012 but nothing for a while i assume.
I would Guess Feb. or March if HTC stands by early 2012 release date.
yes it will get ICS

I can see where the confusion came from just by reading what HTC's Statement was.
" We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich"
I can see how if that is out of context or someone doesn't know that ICS isn't even on the market yet would confuse people.
I emailed HTC and Virgin Mobile Canada the other day, and they said this,
"Thank you for taking the time to reply. We currently do not have the information available to us. At this time the Incredible S's that are slated to receive the ICS update are the ones in the European regions. You may visit htc.com, twitter.com/htc and facebook.com/htc for update information as it becomes announced."
Virgin Mobile said this,
"You've reached ****** with Virgin Mobile! First, allow me to apologize for the delay in my response. Your patience and understanding are appreciated. I'm happy to escalate your feedback about the Android 4.0 update. I know this is important to you and I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
******, I've escalated your email to ensure it's reviewed. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback." This could mean that we
IncS users might see an Android 4.0 update! Virgin Mobile is BAD for updating their phones, but as you may already know, HTC has been working their hardest to work with carriers, and as VMC's update stated that they are happy to point me/us in the right direction, and will escalate it to ensure its reviewed!
Edit!: I emailed Virgin again, and they said that they are working very hard to get this update available! NOW im excited!

Good to hear. I'm with SaskTel which is in a similar vain, and even though I'm installing custom ICS ROMs anyways, it would be nice to see everyone get the update and move to ICS.
Though then, I'd have to stop joking that I'm in the 1%.
I rooted once, but i had to send my phone to get fixed, because it had a charge port malfunction, and they charged $200 to fix it because of the root access, so i am running all stock, which is why i am excited for VM to work out something with HTC

so i was looking around the interwebs for rumor release dates for Android 4.3 on the sprint HTC One. i found some threads of people saying that they thought that the update was supposed to arrive by the end of September. I went on to the sprint website and in the chat I had this conversation with a sprint worker:
Sprint: Thank you for your recent payment. You’re invited to enroll in AutoPay, our most convenient way to pay.
Click here to set up automatic monthly payments or exit the chat window if you don’t need to chat with a Specialist.
Sprint: To chat with a Specialist, type a question below and click SEND.
You: hi i was wondering when the Android 4.3 update will be available for the HTC One
Kristina C.: Thank you for contacting Sprint, my name is Kristina C.. I am happy to help you today.
Kristina C.: Hi.
Kristina C.: You want to verify when is the Android 4.3 update for HTC One, am I correct?
You: yes
Kristina C.: I see, let me check our Android update tools to provide the right information.
Kristina C.: One moment please.
Kristina C.: Thank you for waiting.
You: you're welcome
Kristina C.: Upon checking the Android update tools it showed that there is no information yet on when the Android 4.3 will start to launch, here is what you need to do, please visit our website at www.sprint.com/newsroon.
Kristina C.: www.sprint.com/newsroom so that you can check the update every now and then.
You: ok
Kristina C.: My supervisor confirm that there will be an update this coming 09/23/13 for the Android.
You: is this the Android 4.3 update?
Kristina C.: Yes, and other Android phones update, just check it on 09/23 to 10/06/13.
You: ok thank you very much
does this seem like good evidence for a possible September 23rd release date for Android 4.3 on the HTC One??
Sounds hot to me. Now DROP IT. This phone needs it.

Oh **** that's next monday
Being sprint, I give it as much credit as "Were updating our towers" and "The $10 extra is for WiMax 4G data" which I have yet to see both in my city since 2009
Yeah, as much as I want to believe, I'm casting my vote for "no way in Hell".
Interpret this as you choose to....

Nope.
I don't trust the Sprint chat people. Or Sprint in general. Or HTC.
I once asked via chat if any Sprint stores around me could do a warranty claim (not insurance) for me, and I was referred to a store. I was immediately shot down because I had no insurance. The guy said the chat guy could have been a robot.
Yeesh.
Its near for sure, I don't trust the info from Sprint but at the same time just another tidbit of info to confirm SOON. With all that info that Jason Mackenzie has provided lately on twitter and the tweet provided above I would say all is adding up for a very close release.
BUT, will 4.3 satisfie, hell no, few weeks after the update all will be crying for some Kit Kat and complain its not soon enough. I give it a week or two after release...... the crying wheres my kit kat threads will appear :laugh:
So yeah wheres my kit kat already?! :silly:

i just want them to update to 4.3 due to the fact that the good HTC one roms like viperone rom are for ALL the variants of the HTC one except the sprint variant -_____- and on the rom page it states that the the rom will become availabe to sprint htc ones when they get the 4.2.2 update but they skipped that so hopefully 4.3 will still make those awesome roms available.
The updated file structure (example being user profiles) will make flashing much more simple.
