Gingerbread upgrade coming June (SG)

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.

ya that can happen but still it can increase the pressure on them to release it even faster and sending an email is no big task.u can send to the executives and also to ceo's office as given in the link. :good:

I have given up on them! really first the prices went down for s5 and now there is no lollipop.

Samsung advertise s5 as having snapdragon but they surreptitiously palmed off the inferior exynos to some market. Earlier also they did the same with their s2. Even Cyanogen mod is not available for their 900H model. This is the last time I ever buy any samsung product. i think they lack even the basic business ethics

We are still waiting...waiting. ...

No Samsung Exynos anymore

keep waiting, but if Samsung don't respect their own processor than why we bother to buy their powered exynos product
waiting is what we do and we have learned from their response

good news : lollipop for s5 exynos (g900h) released see kazakistan on samfirmware :good: :highfive:

Why do carriers block features?

Sometimes the answer to this question is obvious. Verizon blocking google wallet was clearly so they could force people to use their own wallet app, whatever the hell it was. What I want to know is why on my AT&T Note 5 I don't have Auto Restart or Smart Manager. Both very useful features I would love to have, blocked by my carrier. How do either of these features effect AT&T? I'm sure there is plenty more blocked that I just don't know about.
Does anyone have any insight as to a logical reason a service provider would want to block stuff like this?
Here is a link to the video where I discovered these missing features:

Please excuse how boring the guy talking is.

Alain: Hello Mike!
Alain: I'd appreciate it if you could give me a detailed description of the problem to assist you better.
Mike: I bought this phone based on many features I read about online, my phone doesn't have these features. They are either disabled or not present.
Mike: The Smart Manager app used to manage RAM and apps on the phone is not on my Note 5.
Mike: There is no "Auto Restart" option under Backup and Reset menu.
Mike: I don't know why these options are missing, and I'm doubtful anyone can turn them on for me. But I just wanted to register my complaint that I'm pretty disappointed.
Alain: Just to confirm, where did you find that these features are available on the device?
Mike: When I type Samsung Smart Manager into Google, all the results are just other people complaining that this feature is missing as well.
Mike: Some guy on YouTube made a video of his Note 5 showing different features.
Alain: Thank you for the information.
Alain: I would like to inform you that the Smart Manager feature is available in T-Mobile Note 5 device.

thats not entirely true. It only do it when you are downloading large file. For regular website, small download and streaming it doesnt work.

Android Nougat 7.0 options

Does anyone know whether the Mi Mix will get the Nougat update? And if not, whether it is possible to install a clean android version on there?
I have contacted Xiaomi in every country to see if anyone is able to give me a direct answer. I'll post it here, when i get one.

Redmi S2 Official Suspended Development

Hey MIUI'ers......
Today, I think I have no words to express the biggest...... What do u call it as......Hmm.... FAILURE OF XIAOMI I guess... Ok, let's go a year or a two back. The time when they launched the great budget camera smartphone- Redmi S2/Y2. This phone overall is a great phone with all the decent entry level specs. From the hardware side, I have no complaints at all. Overall everything was great. BUT, coming to the software, well, that's where the problem began to matter! They provided a 32bit ROM on a 64bit processor! I mean, like for real? Why? What was the matter? Ok, there was a lot of conflict for that issue. Then, it silenced a bit cause we used thought it'll be solved by an OTA update. But guess what? No! Xiaomi claims that their 'users' will lose their valuable data while shifting from a 32bit ROM to 64bit! So, they claimed they won't release the update for 64bit ROM. Well, y'all want our reply for that? Let the data go! We want that 64bit ROM, no matter what! Well ok, even after that, the company promised that they will definitely provide up-to-date software updates, at any cost no matter what! The Android Pie update and the MIUI 11 as well. They promised us users that they will release it before Q1 of the year 2019. We waited for that update eagerly. We were so eager for that update. It was suspended for 1 week. Ok, we'll wait for another. Even the second week. Ok, we'll wait for that next. Even the next, it was suspended. Ok, waiting for the next. And still this continued on and now, Q1 is over and Q2 has begun. And now, Xiaomi claims that they will release it in Q2! And we're like, "WHAT! IS THIS EVEN HAPPENING??? WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM?" We S2/Y2 users have suffered a lot already. We don't have developers working on our phone at all. We just got few developers and we're grateful for them. All of us. But what did you do huh? Didn't provide a 64bit ROM, didn't release the kernel sources properly (most of it is broken) and now, didn't provide up-to-date software updates. You all appointed Beta Testers for this phone right? What happened to them? One leaked the ROM. How are you sure that the others won't? I BET YOU GUYS! ALMOST QUARTER PERCENT OF YOUR REDMI S2 BETA TESTERS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TAKE LOGS FROM THEIR PHONE! You appointed them just because they were always active on MI FORUM. And for no other reason. Look at the person's abilities and experience. Don't just look how much time they're online on
"Your Forum."
Judge us by our skills and experience.
And about the 64bit ROM, we don't care about our data. Provide us the ROM.
And about the Android Pie update, please do accept the fact that,
"YOU FAILED". The whole Redmi S2 Beta Team failed! You couldn't keep up to your word.
So...... Yeah, we still hope a little from you that you will release the Pie update soon!
To Moderators: This may seem a little bit rude, but please, once, just for once stand in our position and think about this and please do not delete this
thread! Kindly understand us users!
Even you guys would've done the same if you owned this device.
Also please do check out the thread in Mi Forum.
Thank you

This is it!
You said what all of us wanted to say.
All of us don't understand what is the problem with S2/Y2 'cause is a really amazing phone, but that haven't an support.
It's so hard develop a 64-bit rom for a phone that have Snapdragon 625?
It's look like a negligency of Xiaomi...
It's an so singular phone, why it haven't attention?

First, The development is still going on, just that the internal team is ripped. Second, Xiaomi already provided you the right information of this device. While you were buying why don't you ask them is the device came with arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a?
I'm tired of seeing people post these kind of things because it doesn't even make sense for me.
Xiaomi didn't claim the device come with arm64-v8a. What Xiaomi claim is the device is arm64-v8a capable (64 bit Snapdragon 625)
