HTC Wildfire S

They are releasing a new Willdfire S (which is quite a lot like the Legend) with Gingerbread!

Wildfire s
Anyone notice that the new wildfire s bears nearly identical specs to our precious aria? Hopefully this means we'll see yet one more unofficial sense based Rom but this time with gingerbread.

Yeah, lets hope it will be possible to port this ROM to our phones!

Let's just hope they share the same drivers. I can't wait untill the Wildfire S release. Did anyone else find the 2011 lineup from HTC very dissapointing?

I agree with the (slightly) disappointing line up. On the otherhand they are all nice devices and I would pick one anyday over a Samsung or LG. Some dual core android HTC shift-esque action with honeycomb would be definitely be welcome though.

Fcuk Wildfire Does HTC Salsa remind you something ?

Although that facebook buttons spoils everything for me
Still, it will be interesting to see if sense 2.0 will be possible to be ported and run on Legend with reasonable performance (Wildfire and Salsa have 512 of RAM - I think, this might make a difference).
ps. Sorry about the links - new user - no privileges to post links yet :/
cheers,
B.

Personally, I'm a little disappointed with HTC's offerings. And while I love my Aria, I think my next phone will be an Atrix. I love Cyanogen, so finegrs crossed it gets some love from the devs!

FACEBOOK button!?!?! When the hell did a freakin website get privileged enough to get a damn dedicated button on a cell phone??

judging by its similar specs to our legend, i'm very sure our talented chef will ported to our phones very soon. besides, gingerbread is already available to us through cyanogenmod7. fingers crossed and waiting for it. =)

But where can I find tools to port the Facebook button?...

...Really?? How is facebook as influential as Google? I know it's popular but it's nothing special by any means. Google at least makes Android, all Facebook does is constantly change their garbage website for the worse.
The fact that Facebook got so integrated with todays society somehow really only gives me more doubts for humanity.

Wait... I did't see any FB button on wildfire s. I sow it only on salsa and chacha...

It will be hard to port gingerbread from wildfire s to legend... because the wildfire s has a better and faster processor... a next-gen processor...

No it doesn't

It all depends. If it has at least arm v7 instructions, then yes. If not, then there's flash lite.

Htc Desire Official update may be Senseless!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/24/telstra-will-scrap-sense-ui-to-make-room-for-gingerbread-on-the/
In Austrailia there is an update for the Desire which is senseless... Just thought i should share it with yous

Dont see this happening tbh

It can be a misunderstanding as usual..
Remove sense ui = Remove some sense app ?

Agree, don't see HTC rolling out a Sense-less ROM. And I wouldn't like that either!

It says UI not apps, and engadget is a trusted sourse, im just tellin yall, i dont really care cus i have a desire Z just passing on the news

This may be true,since it would be TElstra update and not an official HTC rollout per usual.
Now if only HTC would realize how sucky SenseUI is and scrap it,and make a totally new UI ,that is sleek,fast,and mainly bloatware free!

It wouldn't make sense for htc to drop sense completely; not upgrading to sense v2.1 is more likely

I hope that we even get it sense or no sense. No update yet just speculations
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

i hope this is a true

This makes no sense lol
Anyway, I bet it's a mistake. Desire without Sense is not Desirable at all.

Would love to have the option to go senseless on my HTC Desire via a official rom. Would be prety amazing tbh!

Isn't that a branded phone? They probably shoved so much bloatware that sense doesn't fit

Funnily enough, their branding consists of a few web-link "apps", and a splash screen on boot up prior to the boot animation. That's it really
More than likely it is just miscommunication

[Q] Will/When DHD receive Ice Cream Sandwich

Hello guys.
Does someone knows news about possible future update with ICS?
Google said that every mobile capable to run Gingerbread will be capable to have ICS...
Thanks in advance for your time.

Officially, no, but trough xda developers, yes

Desire HD is more than capable. the problem is with HTC. Somehow i doubt that we will get the official ICS.
What's good about android is that we get to have independent developers developing roms for us so I'm pretty sure we will get an early port for our device once the sources comes out.
Google should start releasing sources now!!!

I think this update will be the reason i finally root my DHD. ICS looks awsome. I'm currently just using the GO Launcher with a honeycomb theme and that looks and feels a damn site better than Sense

no official news by now.
we should wait for sense roms based on ice cream sandwich. I can not live without official sense on my phone personally .

yes, one of the reasons why i rooted my desire HD last week because i know devs will be porting ICS to our phone. can't wait for that to happen. I'll be glad to donate to anyone that will be bringing an early ICS port to our phone

HTC are reviewing ICS because some of the improvments in ICS was brought by Sense on gingerbread, but there is no timeline for any device to get ICS but Cyanogenmod publicly announced no CM9 roms will be out untill the Source is out. they dont fiddle with SDK's

Sorry Mr. Moderator.

I hope it will come soon officially. I really love HTC and their work but if they keep ignoring previous models to sell the new ones, I will definetely change to samsung or sth else. Making you do things which only they allow is one of the reasons I hate about Apple, which even they are upgrading their previous devices, HTC is acting even worse. I already feel extremely disappointed about Sense 3.0 or 3.5 not coming to DHD officially, that would be too much.

Here is the Nexus Prime dump.
Hope some devs will take it on and port it=)

Galaxy nexus is the name not nexus prime

I'm really glad seeing that developement in Desire HD Section goes that fast forward
But the devs need the source code of ICS , which will be released if the Galaxy Nexus gets released... doesn't they?
SO it will be a matter of time until ics will come on our desire hd's ..

maybe we just waiting the dev to port it to our DHD....

+1 I especially dislike not being able to update my device just because the manufacturer doesn't want me to, lucky we have xda. According to mike the ARHD dev sense 3 and 3.5 will soon come to DHD officially. The current ARHD rom is a leaked official sense 3 rom from HTC.

Huh?

It will be great if Desire receives ICS but I doubt because of marketing reasons. The guys from HTC want to sell their new phones to old customers as well as new ones so the old Desire won't get an ICS update, as it didn't get an Gingerbread one (with new Sense).

Desire isn't a recent device anymore
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Yeah, but I think there's a bit of good will at stake too. Many people are on contract with months left and aren't willing to shell fora new device just yet.
If HTC nurture the customers that have had a good experience with the desire (I'm one of them) perhaps they won't be lured off to samsung, motorolla, lg, huwai, nokia etc come end of contract.
I reckon if they could do it with sense they would.

Then you either spit moar dough when you buy it to get shorter contract, or you take a two year, and then don't whine every second about it. I won't even mention shelling two year contract in early 2011. and similar silly moves.

I think some of you are forgetting the Gingerbread update saga.
After several announcements and retractions from HTC only an unsupported developer build was released.
ICS will only ever be a custom build from the dev community.
Fingers crossed for CM9, hardware permitting

Desire was never a recent device in the first place.

If HTC could release ICS loaded with their sense experience, while leaving room in the rom for carrier apps they would. Perhaps it's naive of me, but there you have it.
Problem isn't the age, or the cpu, or even wanting to force you into a newer phone. It's the limited memory with which to drive a relatively high pixel count on the screen and a version of software that probably wasn't even dreamt of when the desire was getting her specs.
The development community will possibly be able to shoehorn ICS on, without sense, but htc is saying they don't have time to bother with that level of customisation for an older device. If it were simple they'd do it.

Htc needs to learn something from the xda developers they look so inmature even android 2.3 was a big problem

HTC's making money out of selling phones. The End.
Not from supporting new shinny flagship os's for "Mezozoic" phones.
Look at Apple, they support almost all new os's for deprecated phones but with small feature set and performance penalty.
Is that what you want?

Hello,
The Hungarian support office just told me that it won't get 4.1 update, so I would say this needs to be verified.

Russian support
Russian support in November, I was told that Android 4.1 will not be! only patch for errors.

I talked to HTC USA to file a dissatisfaction complaint about the ONE V not getting Jelly Bean and essentially being EOL after only 7 months on the market; and they confirmed at that time it wouldn't be getting it.

So...the wait starts. **** yeah!
