The official Sony Playstation site tells a slightly different story,
The One X, S, and the rest will have the playstation app included in the jellybean update. Or to quote Sony "Playstation support on HTC phones is rolling out with Android 4.1 and above upgrades, timing of which is subject to regional and operator circumstances"
It specifically calls out the One V as "playstation support will arrive as part of a larger update, details to be announced later on".
So, obviously HTC has informed Sony the One V is NOT getting jelly bean as this new update is well, new.
I am hoping the "larger update" will include a newer version of sense for us, or a "value pack" but who knows. We could also see HTC decide it was a mistake including the One V and ask Sony to quietly remove it from the list of certified devices.
When the update comes, you will have two new icons in the app drawer. The "PSM" icon and a "let's start PSM" which will help you set up a playstation account if you don't already have one.
Yes, there are "hacks" to make it work on any rooted device, but seeing as we have a playstation certified device we will not have to worry about manually updating the darn thing all the time.
All this info is available on the Sony site guys, and is being updated continually. I do not have any kind of inside info, I just know how to use google!!!!

PlayStation App. Been using it for a couple weeks now. It works fine, although I DIDNT buy anything yet. I'm using the mod from Development section.

Well, easy........updates.
It's like getting google now on an ICS ROM with flashable zips. Your version is as current as the version the zip was based on. When google brings out new features, you have to wait for a new zip, and flash again when or if it becomes available. Kinda, but not really like "pirating" an app. Updates depend on someone other than the first party. Being "playstation certified" means, when Sony chooses to update the PSM app (done twice already) certified phones will recieve the update right away, phones with modded versions will have to wait for the dev to re-mod the app, or,worse....an update could close the hack used to install it on non-certified devices. This is something we will not have to worry about.

HTC Desire software updated statement Sam Mostyn - UK Comms 10/08/2010
Weve listened to feedback from customers on a number of points around the recent 360 Android 2.1 update and made some changes to the roll out plan.
The Android 2.2 update for Vodafone HTC Desire users will be based on the HTC open market version of the software and we will customise it to ensure our network settings are installed.For customers who have downloaded the recent 360 update for Android 2.1, we can confirm that the Android 2.2 update will remove the 360 applications and will leave the homepage and bookmarks on your current settings.Customers who want to access the 360 services will be able to do so once the Android 2.2 compatible version is available and, in the meantime, can now download apps like 360 People from the Android Marketplace. We plan to make the 360 apps available in a separate update for the HTC Desire at a later date, giving customers the choice to download it.
We will let you know when the date for delivery of the Android 2.2 update is finalised and subject to testing,we expect this to be in 7-10 days time
Apologies if the format is weird but I just copied and pasted

Sounds like complaining actually did the job! I did not think Vodafone would budge on that.

I amn't on Vodafone UK but this is good news. Installing bloatware before you get your phone is bad but ok. Installing it AFTER you get your phone and releasing it at the same time a major System update was expected so as to get as many people downloading it as possible was a bad move.
great news i think..accept when i downloaded it i went out of my way to flash the rom and get different roms installed.. now how do i go back to what it was like before lol
Well done to everyone that complained i know i did
It does say towards the end that they are going to make another update after 2.2 that has the 360 junk in it so we can choose if we want it or not... im a little confused
so the 2.2 update will clear the voda branding... then shortly after there will another update "2.2 update 1" or something like that, that will put the branding back on?
Whats the point in that, it said we'll have the choice to download it or not, but if we dont and eventually 2.3 comes out will that bypass the 2.2.1 branding update?.
because i asume having an update that you dont install, it will keep showing up eveytime i check for a software update & i'll reject it
so when 2.3 comes out it will still be there as i wouldnt have installed it
so eventually we're going to have to install it to get past it to future updates.
Or have i misunderstood the whole thing?

Vodafone are a money making machine, one way or another they will look to put added 'value' onto all their handsets, they will just change their T&C's for new android handsets allowing branded apps etc. in future.
You can also bet that they will not be spending much time releasing updates if they are not seeing any financial return from them. Don't be surprised if the 2.2.bloat release is the last you see for the Desire.
Personally I've just jumped off the Vodafone wagon (well, for software updates anyway), they tell you anything to get you to commit to a contract, my salesperson categorically stated that OTA updates will be directly from HTC and not have any Vodafone intervention - silly me for believing that!
Now I'm happily flashing ROMS after Unrevoked and love my Desire again, only wish I had done it sooner! Gingerbread is on my Christmas wish list
Its been 10 days now anyone know/heard anything?

They've said on their forum that it'll be late...
Orange HTC Desire Froyo Update??
C'mon Orange! At least let us know what timelines we're talking about here. If Vodafone can sort it out, why are you leaving us hanging!!?? Also - please follow Vodafone's lead and not include all your bundled 'Crapware'!! Its annoying and pointless.
whoop whoop! even this doesn't give me back the time I wasted on debranding and rooting! well, still waiting for this!
OTA froyo installed from Vodafone
Posting this using my PC WiFi tethered to my HTC Desire
The 360 update icon hasn't disappeared - though the splash screen seemed not to be the Vodafone one anymore - will need to do some further tests.
What else should I look for to show if the bloatware is gone or not?
Cheers
Just updated mine now need to test it!

Since my post count is so low I have to start a new thread for this, sorry about that.
I just installed the ICS Beta III
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361
A half hour later or so I get an email from Google 'Welcoming me to my Galaxy Nexus'.
Has this happened to anyone else???
Did you happen to wander into the about section and click on system updates?

Nope, I flashed the ROM then downloaded a couple of apps from the Market as I was doing that I got the email.
All the links go to Google. I am just wondering is it something buried in the ICS code. Once you log on with your Google account it sends out a standard email to the account.
I don't really want to bother any of the dev's with it. They have enough to worry about right now without someone hassling them about something that is not that important in the grander sceme of things.
It's because the galaxy nexus is the only ICS Device with release codes for market so far. That will disappear once a more similar HTC device is released with ICS and we have a broader selection of release codes to choose from. Earlier beta's ran on test codes. They can be changed in build.prop.
Cheers man. I just could not understand it since it did not happen when I flashed the 1st and 2nd beta roms.
Thanks for posting this MrBC I also got this email and was curious about it.
I got this email as well MrBC...
Of course they can track what ROM use are using to browse android market. For example, I have recently update to Android revolution 2.3.5 and now not able to install few app which I used to have earlier on stock ROM 2.3.4.
I also got this
just ignore it lol
what i wondered was if it thinks we have a nexus why can we still not see some android apps lol
It's still beta so there are plenty of bugs. Its possible that there is a framework bug, or some component is missing. Then there is still the fact the a lot of apps on market are listed as not compatible with ICS. I'd expect it to take until 2012 before we have a fully functioning ROM and a fully working market.

Well the article states "Sky Go for Android is now available on Android Market for a "selection of the popular handsets including HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S2, covering the majority of Android users"."
Also, if you have managed to find it on the android market via your phone it usually indicates that the app is compatible with your device. I have noticed that as I switch between firmwares on my phone certain apps appear and disappear on the market due to compatibility issues.
So I'm not sure why you're gettin that message. Unfortanately I'm at work and without a wifi connection or a decent mobile data connection, so I can't really test it for myself
About bloody time I've been wasting my Orange Swappable on Sky TV packages but now can change them to something else now SKY Go
EDIT: I've not tested yet as I'm in a rush to make meeting how is it on Ginger bread and Friend just told me it does not work on rooted devices please Tell me its not true :-( also a problem with ICS
Yip its not showing as compatibile on mine. Phone must not be rooted. 2 years since iOS got theirs and now after the wait the rumor was true about rooting.
Hopefully the devs can do their work
And in Italy?

GREAT!!! I also get the "Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device" message, because I am on ICS.
And it looks like that rooted devices will NEVER be supported by the app.

Minimum Software Requirements:
"You must have OS versions 2.2 or 2.3 installed on your mobile device and have continuous Wi-Fi or 3G coverage to watch content on Sky Go."

I'm sure someone will manage to enable it on rooted devices, obviously its a lot easier said than done but surely its just a matter of working out how the app actually knows you're rooted and changing the code accordingly.
This long wait and hardly any versions are supported
rooted users can you give this a go to see if it works on Rooted devices doing what this guy says in the thread on Sky

Yeah a work around is inevitable. What I meant was that the app will never officially support rooted devices as it would infringe on sky's rights' contracts.
More worried about it not working on ics. Sure somebody will find a way to unlock it for rooted devices but not sure about ics.

They should release an update soon making it compatible with ICS. I'm assuming that seeing as there actually aren't that many ICS devices around at the moment and that most ppl are still on Ginger Bread, they decided to concentrate on GB and release that version first to satisfy the majority and then work on an update to satisfy the rest.
Hi there, I’ve got the Chinese version of the One V and like most Chinese phones these days, Google account functionality has been removed.
I have rooted my phone and most of the Google apps that did not work before do work now (g-mail, Google maps ect.) Unfortunately the plays store is still inoperable. I can install now but it crashes shortly after launch. If anyone has experience with using playstore on a Chinese phone I would love to know what i need to be doing right.
Otherwise I am guessing I could use a rom from another region. my only worry is that it may not be compatible as there is some hardware variation, the Chinese version have an extra button on the front for quick access to weibo(Chinese twitter) I don’t know if that’s the only difference but it’s the only one I can see.
Any way if you have some advice on how I should proceed I would very much appreciate it.

what rom are you running in your phone?
I think he's running stock rom. But like he said the phone may have different hardware than our One V's
So we would need a list of the specs so we can compare them to ours if the hardware is the same u can just use our roms, but if it isn't than our roms will brick your phone.
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
Yes, it is the stock rom. I do beleve the specs on the phone are the same, i recall checking it out before i ordered it from Amazon, but i will dubble check to be sure.
Thanks
It’s a bit tough to find the information but as far as i can tell the hardware is the same. There doesn’t really seem to be a distention model number wise and the only way i can tell witch version a given site is talking about is based on the picture where i can see the extra button. So assuming the hardware is the same in all other respects does it matter which rom I install?
In that case it shouldn't. The extra button wont work than but apart from that it should work.

Hi all!
I picked up a Verizon Xperia Play r800x at a thrift store yesterday for $33. Needless to say, I was excited for the find!
I've been looking at the various roms available, and amd getting mixed messages on what is compatible with the r800x... A lot of the information I am finding seems to be outdated.
So, simply put, what compatibility issues should I be concerned about when looking for roms? I'm trying to find a debloated, gaming centric rom, but the ones I have been looking at do not specify GSM/CDMA compatibility. If anyone has a rom recommendation for the device, or can tell me what to look for, I would be very appreciative!
Just as an aside, I do not ever plan on using the phone as a "phone," since I'm on T-Mobile and, well, ya know. I do want Wifi to be working, obviously, but the cellular functionality is totally superfluous to me, if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

If you don't care about cellular service then you can use any ROM. I recommend you get gin2 jellybean or Aurora play, or xperia next 2 , or dixperia 3, or Bos. They are all great roms but you should also unlock your boatloader and flash a custom kernel like lupus v12 so you can over clock it'll make gaming a lot smoother

Awesome! Thanks for the reply! I'm probably going to be using dixperia 3, that one looks super nice!

So the real question is if you intend on using as a phone or not. If you do, I personally recommend unlocking, rooting, and staying with stock (debloat it with Titanium Backup or the like.)
You'll find that the original Verizon rom is ridiculously stable (very plain vanilla), has around 212 or more of free ram, and everything "just works" how it's supposed to.
Use Holo Launcher and Holo Locker if you want the JB look.

The OP said that they didn't intend on actually using it as a phone, as they are on the T-Mobile network (and thus couldn't use it as a phone anyway).
Also, the 2.3.4 Verizon version broke the Google sync, which causes a host of issues (Google Talk doesn't work, stuff done on the Google Play store website won't be noticed by the phone until Google Play is launched on the phone itself, notifications from some apps will not work).

I swear I didn't see that part :cyclops:. And you're right: 2.3.3 is definately the place to stay if staying stock.
That's unfair!
