And then there was silence...Hopefully the calm b4 the storm. A whole week of ICS talk now nothing. Better be a good storm...

Isaac just got upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane! That's a pretty good storm. Doesn't help with the ICS deal though...

The latest rumor I heard on this was about a soak test through September 3rd. If the 3rd comes and goes with no new RUU soaks, the update'll probably (pure speculation) be pushed out around the 10th or so. I pop in here and a few other places every day, but things are pretty quiet, which may be good new as far as a early to mid September rollout. It'll breathe new life into this phone...especially for those of us whose upgrade date isn't until 2013.

I was just asking.

I've been running the stock HTC ROM for almost 24 hours now, and I can say that it's a massive improvement over 2.3. I can't compare it to the 'bolt's stock ROM since I've been rooted almost from day one, but the battery life seems to be improved, the performance is definitely improved - I was amazed at how fast Titanium Backup loaded everything from the OS compared to how long it took on GB ROMs. TwistedUmbrella has a great ROM, now that the ril is out, I'm looking forward to, and hoping that Twisted completes the ROM. I tried the 3.6 for a little while, decided it wasn't anything I haven't already seen in other ROMs with 3.5, etc. and just went back to TSF Shell (which is ~$17 but worth every penny, and a subject for a different thread).

TL;DR It's a great upgrade, noticeably better battery life and performance - like having a new phone.

Does it allow you to remove Big Red's bloatware. Being that you are rooted, you probably already done that. Just wanted to know for us non rooted if ,(that is if Verizon doesn't screw with it much)we will be able to remove the nonsense apps, with the new Sense UI???

If you're asking if non-rooted users can remove bloatware, don't count on it.

You are probably right. Just thought the new Sense UI would allow that capability,but even if it does Verizon will probably restrict it from happening. Just wishful thinking I suppose. Hopefully we will hear something (else) soon...

I'd gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today! LOL

Anyone know if the update will allow us to use foxfi wifi instead of only the bluetooth?

Good question. No idea. That may be something the developer of the app can answer but I don't know if the issue is GB-related or HTC-specific for some other reason.

So when the hell is the OTA coming??

So when the hell is the OTA coming??

In this case no news is bad news, halfway through the month and I can hear a rat piss on cotton. HTC's logo Quiet brilliantly is the opposite of what I expect as it pertains to this elusive update. Htc and Big Red are coming up small with yellow streaks and no backbone. We want, need, and deserve some news pertaining to ICS and Sense 3.6. Now...

I thought HTC was blaming VZW and VZW was blaming HTC?

 

[The Absolute]

This is wack...my daughter has been waiting on this update since I got it on my Maxx.

 

[Puppa]

Wow. Was supposed to be August. Here it is, the end of September and nothing...no word even, AFAIK.

 

[bikeral]

Unfortunately, this is driving me to an iphone 5 cause I think HTC is not interested in us any longer. Each update has been slow in coming, and their silence is deafening. What a shame.

Why is it driving you the iPhone 5? If anything, it would drive me to a Nexus phone. No worries about "skins" delaying updates. Besides, if rumors are true we may have 5 different ones to choose from. Insofar as the TBolt updates, we don't know if HTC has already delivered the update to Verizon and it is Verizon holding things up.

 

[Funderbolt]

HTC and the service providers like Verizon need to shit, or get off the pot.

 

[arcos05]

[arcos05]

[Funderbolt]

It's obviously a business decision.
