jcase is saying that it's froyo. bummer.
I wonder if it's just a maintenance update, or to unlock bootloader? They did say not to expect GB until August right? lol
PS. Excited for whatever it is.

Pretty certain that it won't unlock. It isn't GB, but it'll be nice to have some bug fixes.

No, I know. I'm just saying that the OTA isn't an update to GB. It'll still be 2.2.
Maybe its a preperation patch for a future bootloader patch. Or just a bug fix patch yea.. either way anything is better than nothing!
This maybe still just rumor but some one in fascinate forum posted they looked earlier in Twitter postings and said it maybe GB. Honestly don't think it is either but we'll see when it come.

please let it be a GB/unlocked bootloader combo~ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE~
but back to reality, it's likely going to be a froyo with an unlocked bootloader, that would be my guess
Either one would work for us GB would be nice hut as ling as we get an unlock that would be nice.

inc update is GB, thunderbolt is froyo, inc2 is froyo

Why doesn't the Inc2 just jump on GB? Will this just be 2.2.2? Hopefully, the extra .1 will be more than just bugfixes.

It could still be Android 2.2.1 with HTC software bug fixes (ie: for sense/rosie).
This already reminds me of the old Eris forums and rumors of 2.1 for the longest time
Ahhhh...
I loved the days before Xmas as a kid.
At least then I knew when it was coming
That's the idiocy of not shipping these new phones with the latest software. It just creates chaos like this. Ridiculous.

Moved to proper section.
Unlocked bootloader please
sent via Droid Incredible 2
From HTC today:
"I understand that you are wondering when the Incredible 2 will have its boot loader unlocked. We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We currently don’t have information regarding which existing phones will be unlocked. Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked and when."

So the gsii has gotten the update via kies. Hope ours comes soon too and also hope they fix that damn android os bug. What else would you like to see fixed or updated?

Not trying to be a downer here, but coming from the original Epic, we probably have at least a month to wait.

The OG Epic just got GB not too long ago. I had that on my OG EVO in like, what, April? March? thanks to CM...I have been doing aftermarket updates (lol, more like 'beforemarket') since I got into Android, so, I don't know if they even bother issuing minor point releases like this especially with ICS around the corner.
Why go to all the trouble of making the update and the hassles of dealing with carrier approval and stuff like that when they can skip that process and get right to work delaying ICS for 6 months.
All it adds Is overscroll glow and google wallet that we can't use anyways

Umm no thanks I'm not losing my cool bouncy effect loll! But I'm sure our devs can framework that back in

if by "coming soon" you mean like 6 months, then yeah....
Damn @[email protected] I was just hoping it would be more of a bug fix and performance update.

The OG Evo got gingerbread in June, right before the release of the 3D.
As for the update. LOS fix, Android OS battery leak fix and just some optimization is my hope.
I want ICS, so I hope they're working on that next
Just curious.

Our next update will probably be ics but cm7 should be here pretty soon .............but dont worry devs are on it

This may be a stupid question, but with the release of the source code for ICS, why do you think it would take so long for it to get it pushed to the E4GT?

Well its been almost 2 months since the phone came out and we haven't got any updates that would fix the Los, and I read somewhere that cm9 will be out in about 2 months (some developer tweet it) so hopefully by march or 4 months from now, I'm no expert but that sounds very reasonable. I also read that the release was for the nexus, And that they are going to release the code for more devices in the future.

I'm holding out hope for ics and cyanogen, it gets disheartening though, not hearing of any development progress other than basic mod roms
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you are asking about an "official" release from either Sprint or Samsung no one really knows what version we will get IF any for that matter right now. IIRC the original Epic 4g just had a "official" 2.3.7 rom leak out but its still a beta so we can only hope that in the end that's the build we will be getting from Sprint/Samsung.
ICS is close.

Don't get too excited, while our phones may have a Exynos CPU we also are the only ones with a CDMA and Wimax radio. That the biggest reason we don't have CM7 yet while all the other SGSII's do, at least in beta form. It may take some time to get the driver situation sorted so I wouldn't expect the E4GT to get ICS in beta form as soon as the others.

This is right on the money unfortunately. Our phone will take awhile. Ah well, all good things come to those who wait.

Doubt it bubby has a working AOSP kernel for MIUI 3g wifi and gps all work so far
Is it safe to say that we'll see an official ICS release from Samsung/Sprint before we see CM9 w/ 4G?

Kudos to Bubby on that but just cause he gets it doesnt mean it'll be supported by CM. If they try to merge it and it breaks the existing builds, thats a no go. Slayher worked forever on the tbolt and it never played nice, the build itself is awesome but it couldn't be synced to mainline properly...not even sure its supported yet (although i sold that a couple months ago).
Not trying to be a downer, just realistic.

Samsung made a comment last month regarding ICS on the Galaxy SII.
Official update from Samsung and carriers will be 2nd Qtr next year = April - June. Unfortunately this sounds about right. I recall the original EVO 4G didn't get official Gingerbread update until June, six months after it was out.
Plus Samsung said they want the Galaxy S3 out a little earlier, Spring next year. I bet we see Samsung's next gen Galaxy series release first before the SII gets official ICS update.
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6
EDIT: Nevermind.
Another speculation topic. Yes I know.
But Telus has a reputation of not labeling something as "Coming Soon" until it is right around the corner.
Remember, Telus doesn't add a lot of bloatware to the releases they get from Samsung, so this could be the real deal. We'll see shortly(hopefully).

I talked to a Telus rep in Vancouver, about 2 weeks ago, they said they hadn't heard anything(which usually means its a ways off)

Why another thread? I don't mean to be a troll or anything but enjoy what you have right now and when ics drops then it will drop. No need to get people hyped up

Sorry but I think the next ICS thread should be when someone actually has a leak or something. Nobody really cares that some rep says soon
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Well as much as I agree that we do not need another spec thread, Teleus did say that ICS would come out Q1 for rhe SGH-T989D

It wouldn't be impossiblé, but it'd be great! Then I can probably go back to Telus stock firmware. haha .. unless someone can make a AOSP off that

It is not a rumor, it is not a rep its an official Telus statement on their official website, usually when telus posts coming soon it arrives within 2weeks.
This will very likely come out before tmobile version. Does anyone have ubuntu and a t989d in canada?
I hope this is true

If we're playing the he said/she said game, then Samsung said the ICS update would come in Q1. Then, T-Mobile said ICS would come as close as possible to Samsung's release. We all know how that has turned out. So I'll believe it when I actually download the official release. Until then, everything is hearsay and should be taken with a grain of salt and a cocktail.
However, that being said, I'm confident that a carrier OTHER than T-Mobile will release official ICS for our SoC variant first.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Haha, this forum is full of impatient folks fixated on instant gratification. ICS will come, so just sit back, relax and wait. Im not jumping into the skyrocket leak because I dont want to have to deal with the issues or trying to make it work 100% on a slightly diff phone.
2.3.6 works just fine for now, and seeing as how the phone will live more of its life in ICSville, its nice to use GB for now, stable and decent batt life. It will be like getting a new phone again when it does roll out! Just wait guys...its just around the corner, remember and cherish these last days of Gingerbread lol
Telus website has had ICS - COMING SOON on for S2X for couple months now. Your post is absolutely pointless.

You can either choose to sit and wait for it while trying to make sense of all the rumors or you can simply move on.
I have been waiting patiently for Samsung to at least let us know when they are planning on releasing it but, alas, it has not happened as yet. Thus I have just obtained a Galaxy Nexus and will be getting rid of the 989 tonight. The software fragmentation is killing Google and it's souring me on Android release after release. From Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, it has been nothing but a big fiasco with these updates.
This thread is pointless.

So what. Whats your point?
So what happens when telus doesn't hold up there end of the deal? Do we start another thread?
All these ICS rumor,fact,fiction,he said ,she said ,whatever you want to call it thread have been taken down for a reason.Cause there pointless and thats my point buddy.
If i remember correctly, April last year is when official Gingerbread was released to Telus devices, So it could possibly be the same time frame for the Ics.
I remember it was His desire hd because i was already using a custom gingerbread rom on my desire.
if it doesn't get released, can we start some war with telus for false advertisement

Quit crying. These threads well never stop. So there is no point in wasting your time and effort in telling people to stop. So, once again, quit crying. Get over yourself. You don't run this forum or thread. There are enough rent a mods on this forum we don't need someone else trying to join that group
