READ BEFORE UPDATING: Samsung Captivate Glide gets official nod on ICS from AT&T...
I know there is another thread, but this is to make you aware of several issues.
From AT&T press release for the Vivid ICS that is already OTA live:
android 4.0 now available to htc vivid™ customers
AT&T the First U.S. Carrier to Issue Latest Android Version via Upgrade
Update Includes Beats By Dr. Dre Audio™ and Updated HTC Sense™ Experience
Android Upgrades for Several AT&T Devices to Follow
DALLAS, March 22, 2012 – AT&T* today announced the availability of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for HTC Vivid™ customers. After installing the software update, customers can now enjoy the optimized audio experience of Beats by Dr. Dre Audio™ and new and improved HTC Sense™ experience. Information about these features and more can be found at http://www.att.com/vividupdate. HTC Vivid™ will be the first U.S. smartphone to receive Ice Cream Sandwich as an update and the first to be issued by a wireless carrier. It will be followed by several other AT&T devices in the coming months:
LG Nitro
Motorola ATRIX 2
Motorola ATRIX 4G
Pantech Burst
Pantech Element
Samsung Captivate Glide
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
Focused on bringing the power of Android to the surface, Android 4.0 makes common actions more visible and lets you navigate with simple, intuitive gestures. Refined animations and feedback throughout the system make interactions engaging and interesting. An entirely new typeface optimized for high-resolution screens improves readability and brings a polished, modern feel to the user interface.

While the update is still about 3 to 4 weeks away, I want to make sure certain issues that have previously risen, don't happen on the Glide.
Firstly, If you are unlocked & have CWM installed, do not try to flash the update without first preparing yourself & your device. Updates on devices that have incorrectly made CWM versions that cannot be not overwritten have & will cause issues from simple black screen all the way to emergency dload mode.
to use official updates you need to relock your device & be using a correctly keyed AT&T rom.
My advice to you is to wait for a final OTA to be released & rooted & then sideload the update. ICS will however require a new boot section & possibly radio.
Once I have time, I will write a tutorial based on both my Vivid & SGS2 update experiences.
Until then be happy that you now own the only ICS slider so far.
this is so incredible nice
just ordered this phone a week ago from germany.
It works perfekt, but i was a bit disapointed, that there will be no ICS update...

Does this mean,, the Unlocked (Network Unlock)) has to be restored back the NETWORK LOCKED mode.??
Will the initial unlock key work later also ??
will this issue be more dramatic for the Canadian, Rogers Glide (I927R)? When it comes to Rogers, they really don't announce if an Android device will get (or not) an update...

Is the Captivate Glide available for sale in Germany?
Hi
I can't update OTA the updte from ATT. After the package gets downloaded to my phone my phones reboots and then it cancels the update.
Do you know if it is failing because my phone is rooted?

No, i bought it via wireless.amazon.com and shipped it to germany with borderlinx. All you need is a unlock code and everything works finde
I will release a rooted Version once it is released, so don't worry Canada & Germany! I love my Vivid, but the Glide has really surprised me with some of its nice media functions & overall responsiveness. It is also one of the few devices that will operate on the 5Ghz wireless-n band.
So far, only AT&T has announced plans for ICS on the Glide. Samsung told me the same.
As for lock & unlock, you always need to relock devices for OTA updates, but the one you are getting now is not ICS, just 2.3.6. I suggest skipping that one & waiting for the ICS build which will be here in roughly over 3-weeks. LTE devices are getting first run from AT&T.

Slight nitpick. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro has also been confirmed to be upgraded to ICS. Of course, its specs are somewhat worse than the Captivate Glide...
Just a question all this talk about ICS. Is ICS really that much better then Gingerbread. I mean I have seen the slick new interface but will it be better at handling opened apps and will battery life be better. I am just wondering if I should upgrade or since Gingerbread is working fine (If it ain't broke).

To me, being able to have a real in app spellchecker makes it more than worth updating. I hate typing emails on gingerbread because I am such a terrible speller. And I don't have time for all the copying and pasting from one app to another. Anyways hopes this helps.

In ICS Android itself makes better use of the hardware inside the phone. One of the big things in ICS is that Android itself starts using the GPU for graphics, where it used to pass that to the CPU. This means a far more optimised system overall, which should translate to better battery life.
Because the CPU has to do less to little of something it wasn't specifically built for. This should free the CPU up as the graphics load is now handled by the GPU. But it's unlikely that this freed up CPU-time will mean the CPU gets to sit there, idly. It will probably be used for something else. So that could mean that ICS uses the CPU equally to Gingerbread, and uses the GPU more than Gingerbread. This would mean a shorter battery life.
Going on the information I've got I'd say ICS will be a better system overall. But it still remains to be seen, time will really tell.

So we don't really know if battery life will be better or worse. I like that you mention that the GPU will be more efficiently used over gingerbread, but as you said only time will tell. Guess as always I will wait and see what others think of it once they install it and then see if I will upgrade. Thank you for your input.
Does anyone know if in the updates there will be vertical-landscape transitions? The lack of them on here makes me cringe! Is it Samsung enabled/can we reenable them?

We know that jb will come officially for the one x, but what about one v? Some say that the processor isnt good enough for jb, while some say that the one series is the flagship series of htc and they cant leave one v out! So what do you say? Lets have a good discussion!

We cannot know for sure right now. If HTC will not provide us a JB build, probably will be ported from our brothers, Saga, even One S..

I think it will be quite a bummer if the "flagship" One series's V won't get the update to 4.1
HTC rewrites the UI quite much so it will be time to rewrite everything to the One V, but I think it would be done in time.
And not to forget that JB is practicaly a patch for ICS, so I think V will be capable of the system.
YES, One V *WILL* get JellyBean
Reasons:
As Ken Shi_Kun said,
I think it will be quite a bummer if the "flagship" One series's V won't get the update to 4.1

JellyBean isn't something like Android 5 or 6. It's just 4.1.
Also, many people have bought One V as it's really cheaper than One X and One S and has the same IceCreamSandwich (just the HTC Sense 4.0 UI is a lite version). People like One V more than One X and One S (yes I've seen such people too!) as it can actually be called a "phone" which fits it the pocket and is easy to use. One S and One X have bigger screen size which is obviously little difficult to handle and the One S and One X are really costly (it's not worth buying just a "mobile phone" for this price). One V has the chin too! My friend specially bought One V for chin!
When anyone would like to buy an HTC phone and sees the One Series, probably the first choice be One X but the person will buy One V for sure if he is a budget-like person (who doesn't buy things more than his budget).
Moreover, there aren't many things for HTC to do for getting JellyBean for One V. It's just 4.1!

Totally wrong!
One V is not "flagship" at all. You cannot call "flagship" a phone that has 512 mb ram and a cpu that is 2 years old. This phone will PROBABLY NOT get Jelly Bean as an official rom, but then again, only time can tell.
AND JELLY BEAN IS NOT A PATCH FOR ICS!
If this is called 4.1 it doesn't mean this is a patch! Have you read what Jelly bean brings to Android OS? Changes are internally, not externally as in graphics and widgets. You all are expecting new theme instead of new code implemented and things rewriten just to make Android moving alot faster.
Have you ever heard of project BUTTER? This is the new stuff implemented in Jelly Bean. What this does? Well on short, GPU + CPU = UI RENDERING (as in Sense Rendering). Right now, ALL of Android OS'es are working like this CPU = UI RENDERING.
So Project Butter will make Android working at 60 fps, by activating GPU alongside CPU to make the UI rendering and thus not stressing so much the CPU that will have time and resources to do other stuff (such as running apps in background better etc.)
The One series is a premium line including the V. The mid-low line HTCs this year are called Desire. This is close to what Ken-Shi-Kun is saying. As the device was just released in April 2012 and HTC is marketing it as premuim (regardless of the 1 core CPU), it has lots of development life left.
Also, Jelly Bean shares critical hardware-side components such as drivers with ICS. This greatly reduces headache for the developers. For now, all of us are speculating.

Read again. I said that ONE V has a cpu that is 2 years old right now. Not the device! You though that I have the phone and i was thinking that it was released 2 years ago? And I am polite, I'm just explaining things. Or what, now if you explain something, you are called impolite or aggresive?
Get your act together dude!
I corrected my post above.
Peartfan40, you are right (below). My apologies to you, 1ceb0x and the community for my unwarranted bickering.
but what about the gpu of one v? Does it (or rather, will it) be able to handle 60fps?

Even if htc does decide to give jelly bean to our devices, it's going to be bloated with so much crapware(read:sense) that I'm sure the effects of project butter will not be seen.
I think we're better off waiting for this device to get more development and maybe cm10 will come for it.

it is said that JB is not SO much different from ICS and it will be quite easy to upgrade ICS-running devices to JB. It wont take long as trasnfer from GB to ICS. Plus HTC tries to upgrade most of its devices releases in last 2 years, so I guess maybe it will take longer for One V to get JB than S or X but eventually it will.

no! JB is DIFFERENT from ICS. TOTALLY!
user interface remained the same, yes! but the changes are internally, on how the UI is rendered. basically the transitions and overall speed will get increased 100%!
Also, HTC is going to use its own launcher
Those new expanding notifications and the resizable widgets will most probably get disposed, or worse, "sensed".
Good read on what's new in project butter:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...roject-butter-how-it-works-and-what-it-added/
guys, we WILL get jellybean...probably slightly watered down to what the other ONE series devices will get, but we will get it...all depends on HTC and your Network....here's an example... my girlfriend has the Xperia ARC and Sony released ICS for it officially back in april\may her network provider STILL hasn't released it for her phone
Hey im getting a new phone and decided on the one x or the s3.. which one do u think is better in terms of camera hardware battery life audio etc..
Thanks
Definitely HTC ONE X
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
S3
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
I own a one x, two guys here in the office have the S3.
IMO:-
The one x looks nicer than the S3
The S3 equals, or beats, the one x on most (but not all) specifications
The S3 has better battery life, a replaceable battery, and an SD slot, the one x does not.
The S3 has much better audio quality - the one x is awful.
The S3 has a much more active developer community - there are more s3's out there, and there are no issues with s-on/s-off - you can pretty much do what you want to an S3.
Samsung seem faster at getting new roms out for the S3 than HTC do for the one x, and they leak a lot of roms during the development process.
Despite all that, I got the one x because it was basically half the price of the s3
If the costs had been the same, I probably would have got the S3.
Based on your requirements, regretfully, I must say S III. :crying::crying::crying:
But, in terms of usability, charm and charisma - HOX is way better choice. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Ask yourself - would you like to be like everyone else, having the same phone like thousands of others?
Seriously, your question is difficult to answer. HOX owners will say one thing, and S III owners the other. It's like choosing between Mercedes "E" Class, and BMW 5 Series. Both are top of the line, it's the personal taste that makes the difference.
I know this doesn't help, but I felt like saying it. :angel:

I know many HOX users who said they would have maybe went for the S3 afterall. I agree on many things you said though. I possibly would have went for an s3 as well if i knew all this about htc.
But they had a good reputation in the desire days and i thought why not give them a try? Right now i'm at the point where i realised how much this phone doesn't surprise me, i don't care about scratches, i don't care if i drop it frontal, i just don't care. It's my last htc device anyway but i can just try to "enjoy" it while it lasts.
edit: personally i even have my doubts about jelly bean running the way jelly bean should run with sense. Today i flashed a sense ui again, while nice, after nearly over 1 week on jelly bean i realise how laggy sense ui on 2.17 is. It's incredible.
going to switch back to aokp or aosp jelly bean rom when i can be bothered
I've owned my One X since April, it's been great. Thankfully no wifi problems and the camera is ok / pretty good. I've rooted it and installed all the available sense roms, I've come back to ARHD as I like the "stock look". Sadly my Cid is VodaP001 (or something similar) so I can't load the leaked Jelly Bean Roms. Seeming I'm stuck waiting for Vodafone to release a Rom based on Jelly Bean so I can update the Hboot officially. This annoys me, other phones (nexus mainly and Nokias) you can either flash whatever you like or amend IDs as in the Nokia to load non carrier firmware. Even the One S (I think) can have it's Cid amended. Strikes me as odd the way HTC have locked the HTC One X a little too much for my liking. I'm on the brink of getting an S3 and maybe putting the One X on Ebay. Sadly though I do like Sense 4 and I like the camera...not sure I like Touchwiz though...S3's can be bought for £360 new from DigitalRev, One Xs seem to fetch £250 on Ebay, I might bite the bullet and sell it...Oh and I'll miss the One X build quality...that's my thoughts....
Htc one X world best Phone A++++++++++

I personally would go with the HOX just due to build quality alone. Always felt like I was going to break the s2/s3. I don't miss having a replaceable battery or an sd card.

I am sorry for my post , and please delete this
Go for one x+
If price is matter to you, than go for one x. - one x has best screen ever made for mobile device - that means a lot to me
- audio is better on s3 but if you are not audiophile and listening to normal mp3 music, you won't noticed it - much more, because of beats eq it sounds more bassy and louder (for amateur listener better than s3)
- a bit better battery on s3
- touchwiz can't compare to sense, if you are going to flash aosp, you better wait for nexus

2-better battery life ,yes 17% battery drain in 40 minutes 1:30 on screen time( my 1 week experment with the s3 ) ( if this is a better battery life ) than you dont know what your talking about
3- better audio, ok, but one x is awfull, then again you have no idea what you are talking about, and s3 is not that good too.
4 - more active development community :what: , are you kooding me, people buy htc phones for the xda development Community , and if you remember cyanogenmod said no more official cm on the s3 and more developers are doing like him, samsung are ****ng them.
5- faster rom , are you living under a rock or something, htc were always the first one to update there devices, last time I checked, both the one x and the s3 is getting jb at the same time or at least 1 week difference , and leakung alote of roms , the s3 had 3 leaked jb builds in one week .

You're the only troll, everyone kept it civilized until your post.
HOX vs S3? Of course S3. No questions there. Anyway check if you can get X+. It's what original HOX should have been. It can definitely compete with S3.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Totally agree, if u can afford it get the one X+. otherwise just get the regular one x,
yes, on the specsheet the S3 looks better, but in daily use I really prefer the one X.
the main thing on a high end smartphone is the screen, it's the thing you constantly stare at, so you want it to be good. And the screen on the s3 is ok, but no more than just ok. it's bright enough but the over saturated colours really bother me. and that's the great thing about the one X, the screen is just soo amazing. plus touchwiz is probably the worst user interface ever made, in no comparison to sense

So much for this being 'flagship'. HTC really don't care about their customers once they have a new bun in the oven.

I tend to disagree. Only year and a half is passed after HOX release and less than a year of hox+ release. It's not right to not update the previous generation. Atleast 2 years is a must. We can bash samsung all that we want, but they support their top models far better than htc, sadly as htc is far better phone builder. I hope when lenovo buy htc there will be new "hardcore boner" phones. Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

I don't get it, if you want to be 'up to date' you should buy a new phone every two years. I think HTC did an amazing job with 4.2.2 sense 5. I do not expect more of them. It's not all about you and me in this world. I rather like HTC to work on new stuff then giving ten years of support to 'old' devices.
And be honest, this latest update with the hardware of the one x will run for a long time, it's not that our device becomes useless because of no updates.

I will just say that if you bought a hox+ (released november 2012) you would need to buy a new phone in less then a year if you wanted to be on the latest... btw latest for htc and sammy means one version behind
In the case of the hox... They supported it for a year and a half.
our devices were never on the latest android version. I dont call it an update if you are one or two versions behind. Sammy is the same but i hate them even more for that because they have the resources to update it in a reasonable timeframe. But they dont.

it's really disappointing
I don't care that much about Sense 5.5 , because most of the features that are in it, we already have with Sense 5.0 for our One X (except for the camera features, we'll never get those). But I do care about the 4.3 update and I hope we get it. According to previous leek - we will get 4.3 with Sense 5.0.
I think this is the end for the hox and the hox+. Because if they make the effort to update it to 4.3 sense 5.5 would come with it. Thats my thinking

If you want latest updates buy a Nexus device. If you want sense you know you won't get updates after 1 or 1,5 year. It's nothing new. You knew it the moment you bought the One X.

Well, if you guys actually read the changelog, 70% of the Sense 5.5 features are basically our own Sense 5.0 features. The reason for this is that most One's in the US were stuck on 4.1.2 while we were getting our 4.2.2 update. So to avoid wasting time, HTC announced they'd skip 4.2.2 for the One and jump straight to 4.3. So most of the things in 4.3 Sense 5.5 is basically from out own Sense 5.0, it's just finally making it to devices which were deprived from 4.2.2 unlike us.
As for 4.3 for the One X, I really don't mind if we don't get it. I like Sense 5. I'm not the kinda guy who NEEDS the bleeding edge of OS updates. I'm just the average Joe who just needs something nice to use. 4.2.2 is good one the One X and I don't mind it staying on it till I replace it in the future. Even if I get tired, there's always aftermarket ROMs so the options are not limited. I know I can't speak for everyone because I have a Nexus 7 which is always up-to-date but believe me when I say there are more days then not when I actually prefer using my 4.2.2 Sense 5 over the 4.3 in my N7
All I can say is just enjoy your phones. Compared to TW updates or Sony updates which sometimes f*ck your old devices up, HTC actually didn't with our update besides, what's in 4.3 that we NEED that badly in our phones ? The only thing I see actually worth the update is Bluetooth 4.0 support and even that's not really for me but more for the One X owners who threw a hissy fit about Sense not supporting it and felt scammed.
If I'm honest I'm perfectly happy with my hox. It's not been the flagship for a good while but update still happened and many facets from future updates will likely be brought to hox on xda once enough time passes and people feel like it.
Don't expect but couldn't ask for more
Well, if samsung S3 will get it (same specifics) like HOX why we do not get 4.3?
BUT if they dont care for costumers we have our way to punish bad costumer care brands.

Well... The only thing that I really want from sense 5.5 is the RSS support for blinkfeed - it will make it alot more usable for me, right now I dont use it because feedly is much better for my RSS subscriptions. Furthermore, the only thing that I want from 4.3 is the trim feature, but I have root and I use the trim app..so maybe it's not a must.
Anyway next phone for me is nexus, even though sense is just better than any other UI in the market IMHO.
out of curiosity,
is there no ported android 5 (L) coming or is available for the m8?
Not yet. I wouldn't get you hopes up too high for it coming any time soon, it might be a while. Once full source is released we might see partially functioning aosp based versions pour in. Other than that, I'd say cm and other aosp roms have got a long way to go. Same story with sense. But no one knows for sure what google and HTCs plans are so I'm just speaking based off of speculation and past experiences. Expect many "L" themes though

just give HTC about 90 days from source release and we will get official Android L :victory:
assuming L comes in November with the new Nexus, then given the 90 day guarantee from HTC, expect an official OTA by February. they lived up to their promise for the M7 owners this year for 4.4 kitkat.
