As the story mentions June 30th is still "early" 2012. When you factor in standard att delays early 2012 can be early 2013 very quickly. They promised Gingerbread (Nexus S started shipping in December 2010) for the Captivate ... So when android 4.1 is shipping on phones start looking for 4.0 on the phones that shipped with 2.3.

I really hope att changes their reputation with Android updates this year. I get sick of all my VZW friends pointing it out so often. Att put too many eggs in their iBasket, hopefully now they see the power of Android.

We will get it sometime next year. I really highly doubt it will be early 2012, ATT just sucks with updates, if it was sprint, I would be more hopeful.

I second that!

I wouldn't count on AT&T to keep your phone current. Poor LG Thrill is still chugging on Froyo. Thank god for xda!

Actually the thrill is getting its update shortly

Yea the Thrill is getting the update to GB soon but look at How LONG it took LG to get it rolled out and than how long AT&T held it back so they could throw their garbage Bloatware onto the phone. Considering ICS is now released it was kind of a ridiculous move on both parties to even bother with GB.

But when will it recieve an unlocked boot loader?

When HTC allows it on HTC dev, or someone cracks it.
I doubt AT&T will be bad on updates for the Vivid, Android is currently their only way to spread LTE

ICS OTA velocity

Installed last night man what a difference.
I came from desire HD, where the dev is huge, to the velocity. Running black ice cm7 based.

Oops wrong button.
I am not a fan of HTC sense and the stock look and lack of options of the shipped rom.
I guess where I am going is the battery seems to last longer with Ics and the speed of the phone is better. Running adw the draw is still laggy.
Why do phone companies make phones with heavy bloated roms and call it the fastest phone. Just give us the option to turn it all off.
Does anyone have any gossip on cm9. Considering how far is was taken on the dhd can't wait.

Are all the users getting ICS upgrades or is it like Skyrocket, where limited users got the upgrade

Not to sure. My missus and I have only been on for 6 or so days and we both got it. Seems like everyone. I woonder about the unbranded phones.

Will we be able to use the source from the Nexus when that update is released...or will we have to wait for AT&T (or whichever carrier) to release their version of it?

So you guys do think that we will at some point get a jellybean rom?

Considering the GSM Galaxy Nexus came out before our device, and the fact its being updated...I wouldn't see any reason our device can't get in on the JellyBean fun.

Yes it may have come out before the vivid but the current and new nexus phones always get the current and new Android OS cause its Googles phones. The NExus came out with ICS out of the box, our vivid did not. It came with gingerbread. So Im sure if we do get a Jelly Bean OTA there will be a JB port before hand. That has always been my experience phones that already received an OS update before a new OS came out. Like with Froyo to GB or GB to ICS.

There isn't any reason why we shouldn't, after all my Captivate shipped with 2.1, and was on 2.3.5 after 2 updates, but it was sold in different times. When I got my Captivate the market for android phones wasn't near as saturated, and the Captivate was AT&Ts Galaxy S varient, only like their 5th android phone, and the other 4 were outdated teeny bopper texting toys. The Captivate was a no brainer for anyone who wanted a serious android phone in 2010 and wanted to stay on at&ts network. The result was a ton of owners, top notch xda support, and 2 major software updates as AT&T knew our contract would end eventually and wanted to keep us as customers.
Now times are different. The Vivid was one of many really, in fact it didn't even get the first LTE phone on at&ts network distinction, instead it had to share that with the skyrocket. And now the one x is out and the Vivid is kind of following in its shadow, not to mention HTC is struggling for business and is falling behind on upgrading other phones ie the rezound that came out the same time. I could see us being one and done. I hope we at least get a patch to deal with bugs at some point but I'm not holding my breath for jb

HTC released this statement.
"We are excited about Android Jelly Bean and are planning to support it across a variety of our devices. We are reviewing the software to determine our upgrade plans and schedule, so please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans."
you can find the story at android central (i cant post links yet )
Maybe we will get an OTA before a port....

Yeah either way it'll take a while, it always does.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

I came from the Samsung Infuse and when samsung said they were going to release an OTA it meant that there was no way the end user was going to get it. Either AT&T blocks it or Samsung never sent it. Thats why I am happy with HTC. The last couple of HTC devices have been pretty good with OTAs

My vivid was the shortest wait ever but as a flyer owner they aren't always so great :'(
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

You really think the Vivid will receive an OTA JB update? I highly doubt it. I'm just wondering if we will get a port.

To some extent yeah I could see it just because there are a lot of snapdragon s3 Htc phones out there so porting to our device isn't hard, and It's not very old. But I also could see us being one and done too as the one line is supposed to be a new beginning for HTC and that's their primary focus no doubt. But if we don't get it than I can't see any other phone HTC s3 based phone getting it either.

OTA- Huge possibility
Port- definitely
Only question is which shall come first?

You know what I bet we will get it. The Vivid was AT&TS flagship HTC phone until the one x and HTC will want us to upgrade to another HTC phone when our contract is up. But at the same time our ics Rom needs a stability and performance update, and if they gave us that instead I'd be happy

Hope we get this soon... Two New Features for Android 4.3 Leaked by HTC

Interesting read...
Wish we could just the .12 update. Seen all the before and after pics and they look great. It will be nice to get 4.3 though.
Hope the Developers are all over this.

Agreed. Two years ago I bought the Nexus S 4G from Sprint thinking I wouldn't have to rely on Sprint for OTA updates but I was wrong. OTA updates consistently came months after their GSM counterparts so I ended up rooting the device and installing CM and then Slim which in retrospect was the best decision I ever made while owning that phone. Hopefully as time goes by we will get more choice and variety in terms of custom roms for the ONE although with the Galaxy 4 shipping with 4.2.2 I have to imagine HTC will be sending out an update soon so it can better go head-to-head with its biggest competitor.

i dont think thats fair. When i had my S2 we always got the updates before any of the other carriers in the us.

I just got off the s2, updates sucked. Thankfully the guys here got rooted leaks for us. I think jellybean it's dropped a month ago. I'm really waiting on AOSP for this
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

Well to be fair. Sprint has been ahead of the game lately with some of their updates being before other US carriers.. Example: The damn Evo LTE got jelly bean months before the flagship One X on At&t.

Not to mention, HTC already has Android 4.3 from Google, and they've been testing it. With as big of a Saving Grace this phone needs to be for HTC, I would assume they would get this out as quickly as possible. We'll see 4.2.2 soon, but I think we'll see 4.3 sooner than later.

No, certain members just happen to know someone who tests lets say Samsung's test builds for a certain device, so they have it sent to them by their source and then leak it. There's no leakedromsforsprintphoneblog.com or anything.

Hey its better than being on AT&T and getting it 4 months after 5.0 comes out.

4.3

Is anyone else kind of annoyed about these other phones that are skipping 4.2.2 and going straight to 4.3? I know there won't be any major differences but I feel like we bought the latest and greatest but are getting shafted. Maybe I'm being anal, I just find it hard to believe they will update us to 4.2.2 and then 6 months later send another out for 4.3. Maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts anyone?

You think so? I sure hope not. My retired evo is still getting (unofficial) updates. Hope the fun continues for longer then just next year.
I'm sure we will see 4.2.2 soon and I'm hoping we also get 4.3. The phone should handle it right?

Yeah sure. The HTC One S was also supposed to get 4.2.2 according to an insider, but then HTC out and said no.
The S3 was also supposed to get 4.2.2 by the middle of this month. Well we didn't.
It's all rumors and stories until it actually happens.
Sent from my S3 on Sense 5 (you jelly?)

I really really like sense 5, I keep wanting to go to AOSP based Rom, but when I do I always End up missing certain things about sense, which is really weird cause I hated sense on my 3vo, and the more I think about it it's not a huge deal just wanted other people's opinion. And I suppose if I really wanted updates I could have gone with a nexus instead

Like what was mentioned before, the new androids aren't too different. I mainly want the upgrade so we can get ports for all those roms that the GSM version has. Apparently that's the only thing stopping us...the lack of a CDMA 4.2 kernel
