2.3 OTA Update

I'm hearing of some unbranded UK Desires receiving an OTA update to Gingerbread, has anyone else seen this? Nothing on mine yet, and since it's unbranded I imagine it's not a staggered rollout.
Anyone know what's going on, or are my sources false?

I've not heard anything to maybe a fail. I guess if you find HTC's RUU then it will be rolling out soon. About now is when it's rolling out so maybe so.

Well after some checking I can confirm that a desire, possibly on TMob got a system update a couple days ago, but can't confirm whether it was 2.3 or just a pre update of some sort, also not sure if the desire is branded or not.
unfortunately the phone is a work phone that my friend doesn't have currently so can't get any more details at this moment.

Nothing here. Unbranded handset :-(

HTC Official Update
I received the following email today from HTC Customer Care in response to a question as to when they will fix the widely reported Google leak (potential security flaw in Android).
In regards to your last response, in order to to get the security update when it is being issued, you have to have a base of the 2.3 Gingerbread update on your handset, in which case will be released this summer for devices such as HTC Desire.
Currently we do not have a specific date as to when the 2.3 will be released for other handsets as at this time the update is only being issued to HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S.

summer? geeez... I thought it was going to be anytime soon this month... Bit fed up of waiting...

Check my sig. I can't say I noticed something actually does not work, which I can say for some other roms people swore are rock stable, but it drains battery and there is obvious lag especially with alternative launchers and animations. That said, I can cope with some lag, but I can't cope with memory leaks, bootloops, ads etc.
So you can't just yet say it is as it is meant to be, but it comes to that this actually works. Not extra smooth, but it does.

We will just have to wait and see if HTC provides us with an update to jb I don't care either way since I hate sense anyways. It would be good customer support to supply it in my opinion but for me personally it doesn't make a difference.

Woooo.. Aosp still better than sense lmao. At least we can probably mod the sense kernel that comes with the OTA update and use it for our 4.1 ROMs probably has a lot more stability too

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!

Same! only at MSRP, when it drops because no one's buying it. I'll buy it for 50$.

The only 4.1 we MIGHT get is a basic build like the Desire HD got with ICS..I say MIGHT very loosely

Most probably, i doubt they'll drop development of a device only released last year with such great specs, it'd be stupid. Plus even if they drop official development... we're in XDA, the possibilities are endless lmfao.

HOX will receive updates a long time from now. at least an year, i would say 2 years, but let's be more realistic

Updates......... let's not go there, your going to start a *****ing frenzy akin to JB.

I don't care if we get it officaly or not. We have Football, that means we can get even a Sense 6 custom rom)

Yeah, HTC metioned somewhere (cant find it) that flagship devices are ALWAYS supported for atleast 2 years from release.
If sense 5 comes before the 2 year then HOX should get it.

Your definition of supported might include new android releases, but I don't think "support" necessarily imply free OS upgrades...

That's exactly what they did to the Desire about a year after it was released. We got an update from 2.1 to 2.2 and that was the end of that. Kept being promised an update for 2.3 for a couple of months both by HTC and my provider, 3 Network and in the end they ditched it and the entire Desire platform. Which brought me to root my phone and install Cm7 on it and try out a whole host of other roms

Sense 4+ come in about 18 months of sensation Launch and here we are with 3.6, no update until now.

idk
i dont even think if its coming to htc one x, i dont think so because the jellybean didnt roll out to the other one series as well, only on the one x so i really dont know

The HTC One X is a flagship device, I bet it will continue to be developed for the foreseeable future.
Sent from my HTC One X

Usually htc will upgrade previous flagship device with their newer os but with different sense. Just like the evo 3d and sensation that upgraded to ics but with sense 3.6 unlike one x that comes along with sense 4.0. So maybe we'll get sense 4.6 rather than sense 5?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I fall in love with the new sense 5, but I'm thinking to buy a one x in order to wait for a lower price of the new one...
I already have htc sensation, the flagship of two years ago that don't received the sense 4 when htc one x and one s was released, and I'm pretty sure that one x won't receive the official sense 5.. maybe it will be update to android 4.2 and a light "sense 4.5", but nothing else in my opinion! I don't know if I should buy this device and use it for the next 7-8 months.. I'm so unsettled, I don't like tegra 3 cpu... Any one thinks that one x will have sense 5 rom ported from one? I know, it's too early, but I should take a decision in a short time!

I am pretty sure that the devs around here will be able to get it ported. :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm hoping that a backup of htc one image will be released soon, in order to start to have an opinion from devs... I'll decide if I should buy onex during the next week, and after that I've a short time...

I'm plannign to buy a one x

for 300$ since i broke my sensation, good price?
its the international version (thank god) but if its international do i need a specific version to flash roms because back in the sensation forums, they were all the same.

If it's carrier branded, it somewhat restricts rom flashing capabilities.
Otherwise the international versions should be all the same regarding ROM flashing.

how do you know if its carrier branded, the guys told me its international and he got it from hong kong

An almost certain way to know it is to download cid getter from market and look at the cid. If the cid is something like tmob__xxx or vodap__xxx then it's branded.
Also branded phones often have special carrier apps and/or boot animation.
I doubt it being branded if it's from hong kong.

Maybe you should also go to bootloader vol down + power button for around 10-15 sec till you get into the bootloader, just so you make sure it is really original HOX , there are rummors about many *fake* hoxes coming from china. Anyway 300$ is a great price for hox.

Don't do it. There are more developer friendly phones available and that means that the people with this phone are often so grateful that they don't question the predicament we're in. We have no official working CyanogenMod build at all. In fact we only have a slightly dated Paranoid Android and a fantastic AOSP build (thanks PabX).
This phone is far from liberated and with developers of the mindset that they won't try until kernel sources of which they have no ETA are released, it's not looking like we'll see freedom any time soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to said developers, they've already done much more than I could've, but I feel it's only fair to give you some context as to what you'd be getting in to.
That said, this is the prettiest phone of its generation.

they can still change their minds but this is just a common answer, The higher up execs probably haven't decided what they're doing so take this with a pinch of salt. if there's no other announcements by february then we probably won't be getting another update but don't quote me on it.

It can run on our phones fine but the issue is nvidia.

This article is about US version, ONE XL, but we won't get it either (I think).

But surely they have to support the One X+ as that is still under or around 18 months old, in which case it shouldn't take much to port it to ours.
With the excellent devs we have on here it would turn up quicker than HTC porting it to ours as well.

Yes they can change their minds sure and there is still hope.... Chuckle
