Well, let's not get cocky now that we moved onto a newer device. I can just see ourselves in the same damn frustrating position in just over a few months may be, since even the Dinc4G is not a flagship Verizon device... It is super annoying, they will may be not update this too... They managed to screw even the Nexus owners with an ungodly 2 month delay. It is either iPhone for timely updates or a non CDMA truly open GSM nexus... which means bye bye verizon. Anyway, I hope that I don't have to bother about updates with the Dinc4G. It is good with ICS and I hope that I won't "need" an update to make it work any better...
So, can we take the update on our rooted phones?

Not cocky just pissed still I bragged that we were getting ics "yeah they updating my dinc2 to ics right on etc. Embarrassing etc." To never get it I loved my dinc2 though it saved me from a LG ally and if you know what that is then you know where I'm coming from but I got impatient I wanted a strong phone with relatively up to date software and strong CPU power and so far I believe I found that in a relative to my old dinc2.

I'm on the Dinc4G too and I am happy. It is fast. ICS is infinitely better than and more bearable than GingerBread. It is like the OS matured. After ICS, it seems to be mainly refinement and unless I am being super anal about it, I don't think it matters. So, therefore even if we get screwed over in the future on updates, I can be confident that I have a really nice working OS. I can potentially neglect trying to keep my phone up-to-date and be like all my friends who still work with GB phones and think that is the most up-to-date one...
All I need is root for some of my apps and some toggles on the notification panel and I am set. Unless a future OS update makes the phone unbelievably awesome, it is not critical. Is anyone else thinking like me?
I believe this update has been out since June 2012. Check out the HTC page: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-droid-incredible2-verizon/software-updates

I can agree with that. I rooted my GNex more for ease of backups, Barnacle Hotspot, and a couple other apps. I'm fully satisfied with Stock JB on this thing.

That will never happen. The only way JB is hitting our phone is if we do it.
I'm really thinking of going back to a Google phone. Less of the features I really want, but at least the new toys hit it first and fast.
Oh and yea Galaxy S is getting it!! But Sammy will never push it to our phones, and you all know I'm right.
i think for the most part the new notification is by far what im after camera upgrade to
Offline voice actions will be a huge help to the utility and speed of voice commands. Other than that, meh. Of course I'm excited though, and will flash anything
I'm definitely waiting for the next Nexus for my next phone purchase. It's hard to not get caught up in the GS3 hype, but its such a minor upgrade to our phones' specs......the GS3 will be many, many months before it sees 4.1.
Hope Samsung port it to the S3 fast. So we can use it. I like it really much!
So guys ... keep it rockin' ;-)

I'm guessing because most people wouldn't be toting a tablet around to take pictures of other things besides themselves. With my original galaxy tab, I was surprised how well the back camera did for video but it was too easy to cover the mic with your hand when in landscape mode. Also, the official portfolio case for it covered the rear camera and led.

A little OT but all the laptops that google is using during the google IO are Macs.... LOL
So I didn't have an android phone during the froyo to gingerbread update, which from my understanding is more like this than 2.3 to 4.0. I know we have had lots of trouble with kernel source and all sorts of other issues. Was this due to the fact that it was such a big difference, and so maybe this time it would be easier for our great devs to get this going for us once code drops? Obviously we can't know for sure until then and I'm not trying to offend anyone or seem greedy, I am just curious if this is how android works, or if not.
Thanks.
That is because google banned windows a long time ago from their offices.
So, can anybody think of any good reasons why we couldn't get the new voice search and Google Now on our phones now? I personally don't understand why we would need a new operating system for that. But, I really know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with programming and development, so I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts?
We have both european SG3 as well as US-ATT SG3 models. Our EU carrier has notified the 4.0.4 version will be updated to 4.1 next month, Oct 2012.
What is the published US-ATT schedule for update from 4.0.4 to 4.1 ?

I gave up the wait in September and switched from ICS to JB based off the TMO and Sprint leaks. Even with the bugs and random issues, I like it and don't really want to switch back. Now I have to impatiently wait for an official release so the rest of the bugs are worked out.
Too many of you have ADD....The phone has only been out since June/July ...Im riding the stock rom till JB comes out, which I will bet will be November. After that I can mess with custom roms, but for now, too many bugs and TW is not bad, on JB I figure it will be even better so will hang with it till I get bored. You guys that already jump around from rom to rom are the type to ditch the S3 when the Notes 2 is out or when the S4 is out in June/July next year anyways.
I will admit I am ready for JB though already.

I disagree, I like TW enough. But I feel I have more control over my device without it using another launcher. I doubt I will go to the Note 2, 4.8" is pretty big - but I went with this phone over the original Note because the 5.3" was a little awkward. I won't upgrade to the S4 next year either. I'm not going to pay full price. Just because I jump around from ROM to ROM doesn't necessarily translate to jumping around from one phone to the next.
As for JB, I'm glad to be running it. It's pretty smooth.
I understand this is a completely biased statement as I only have one perspective on the subject, but as an AOKP JB user since i got the GS3 (about a month) I have not run into any real issue with bugs, instability, or anything otherwise not expected from a stock ROM. Anyone who is 'waiting' on JB has already missed their ride, although there are hourly shuttles to catch you up with the rest of us....hop aboard.

Yes, i`am convinced it will be supported well. The GN2 will be even a bigger success as the GN1 i believe. Getting mine in 5 days
I think there will be some type of good support.. I mean it's still pretty early in the release... And I'd still buy it if it's not supported by a lot of roms.. Doesn't take away of how much of a beast the phone is

While I agree they were relatively "quick" with the last update compared to other times, I've been with them long enough to know they take their time on a LOT of things, not just updates to devices.
Aside from that point, it's my personal opinion that Sprint (or ANY carrier for that matter) shouldn't even have their hands in the updates released for the device at all. They should have their own software that is required for the device to activate and function on their towers and service and that's all. If you don't have their software, it won't work, simple as that. Whether or not they add additional requirements for their software to function properly on the device is up to them as well, as it's their own software and their service they are providing, but the fact of the matter is that it's NOT their device. So as to the updates to the software and functionality of the base device, that shouldn't be at all for the carrier to decide.
Think about it from a different angle... What if Steam or Skype or some other software as a service type company said that you couldn't apply an update to Windows or update your video card drivers or sound drivers until they release their own approved copy of the update or driver... You'd laugh at them, right? I mean seriously, how silly would that be?
Now, they can RECOMMEND that certain drivers or updates NOT be applied until they are fully tested, but they cannot force their own copies of the same updates/drivers upon you.
Not trying to start a full out debate here, but just my own thoughts on the update release process and something for people to think about.
Also, there's no need for vulgarity, no one is "*****ing" or "jerking each other off" here. This is just a poll and a calm discussion about the update and hopes for how soon it will be. Please keep it clean or I will have your posts removed. Thanks.

While I agree they were relatively "quick" with the last update compared to other times, I've been with them long enough to know they take their time on a LOT of things, not just updates to devices.
Aside from that point, it's my personal opinion that Sprint (or ANY carrier for that matter) shouldn't even have their hands in the updates released for the device at all. They should have their own software that is required for the device to activate and function on their towers and service and that's all. If you don't have their software, it won't work, simple as that. Whether or not they add additional requirements for their software to function properly on the device is up to them as well, as it's their own software and their service they are providing, but the fact of the matter is that it's NOT their device. So as to the updates to the software and functionality of the base device, that shouldn't be at all for the carrier to decide.
Think about it from a different angle... What if Steam or Skype or some other software as a service type company said that you couldn't apply an update to Windows or update your video card drivers or sound drivers until they release their own approved copy of the update or driver... You'd laugh at them, right? I mean seriously, how silly would that be?
Now, they can RECOMMEND that certain drivers or updates NOT be applied until they are fully tested, but they cannot force their own copies of the same updates/drivers upon you.
Not trying to start a full out debate here, but just my own thoughts on the update release process and something for people to think about.
Also, there's no need for vulgarity, no one is "*****ing" or "jerking each other off" here. This is just a poll and a calm discussion about the update and hopes for how soon it will be. Please keep it clean or I will have your posts removed. Thanks.

According to this, Verizon has approved the 4.4 update, and we should be expecting the OTA rollout "shortly".

I'm debating on taking it or not. It doesn't look like 4.3 Root/S-Off will be happening at all, so I guess at this point, I might as well take it, as there probably won't be another major software overhaul anytime soon.
I'm sure one of our great devs will have a stock rooted Rom available shortly after the ota just like santod did with 4.3

4.3 can be S-off'd and unlocked using Firewater.
4.4, we don't know for sure yet...

Wha?!? Man.. I suppose I've just been stuck in the rumrunner thread awaiting updates.
I saw Firewater mentioned, but thought that was just another 4.2 root.
I suppose I should check that out. I was getting anxious here.
Really hope this update helps with the purple camera hue. "Improved low light performance" seems pretty good.

Update is live and rolling out! See my post in the main general thread. My wife is downloading now. I am in SW Missouri. Have fun!
Do we know or suspect anything yet in regard to
1) keeping root through the 4.4 OTA?
2) the negative impact of accepting the OTA on a rooted device running TWRP? I read something today that seemed to indicate that you needed the stock recovery to accept the OTA, so perhaps this is a moot point.
Related Note:
Why do I care if I am rooted? Why don't I just wait and flash a custom Sense 5.5 based on the new OTA firmware when it becomes available? It's interesting - I keep going back to my stock, rooted, original rom after flashing multiple roms available here on XDA, even some very good ones. HTC has done a pretty darn good job with Sense 5, and while I had no qualms leaving 3.6 behind for stock AOSP Android when available, I find myself missing Sense features when I use AOSP or GPE on my One. I've messed around with a couple of Sense custom roms, and I keep returning to the original firmware. I appreciate the ability to remove apps entirely through TiBu, so keeping root is good, and I reserve the ability to flash a custom rom if I get itchy want to, but I look at the fact that we are soon to receive an OTA, and I am torn. I know that it will be likely a matter of hours before someone Santod posts a stock rooted Verizon 4.4, but I've already set mine up exactly the way I wanted it. It's funny, after spending a couple of months not flashing new roms, both on the last month of my Bolt when there was nothing new and in the first month of having the One when 4.3 couldn't be rooted, I got really annoyed at the amount of time I was spending setting up accounts and preferences and mods and whatnot during the last week of flashing custom One roms. /rambling

People talk about this a lot in here, but I've never seen it on my One. I purchased new in January; I wonder if that is the difference.

Also purchased mine in January. It seems to be effecting those who have had their Ones for a longer period.

Not to make you worry or anything, because chances are you're fine...but, it took my One about 3 months to develop camera issue. I'm not sure if they started putting updated hardware in the later builds or not. They very well could have and you'll be good to go.

Yes, camera hardware changed at least 9 times before they got it right.
Sure it's been posted, but the stock update link is here: http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/system_update/htc-one.html
