ICS for us! Confirmed

blackepoxy · Apr 6, 2012

Definitely not, it will be sense 3.6 for sure from what I'm seeing now.
Very similar to what the AT&T hTC Vivid got...

STeVe7320 · Apr 6, 2012

My money is on 3.6, which is fine by me. Considering we never saw an update to 3.0.

Hopefully it'll keep the lockscreen like the HTC Vivid and Sensation have.

STeVe7320 · Apr 6, 2012

I could live with that. Not a big fan of the current one lol

bberryhill0 · Apr 6, 2012

I like the 3.0 lockscreen.

Yes! Love it. I'd say the current one is just too plain and boring imo.

bberryhill0 · Apr 7, 2012

Well root and install it then!

No root needed to use widgetlocker and or magiclocker home screen replacement apps on the market.

They both have sense 3.0 style themes and I'm sure on the store they also have 3.6 and 4.0 based screens too...

Does using the shortcuts always bypass the unlock pattern/pin?
I really don't like that.
Defeats the use of them if you ask me, it functions like this on magiclocker with the sense 3.0 theme, fail.

I'm thinking we'll be seeing ICS sometime in the very near future. Last night, I had 6 "Verizon" application updates pushed to my phone, including Blockbuster for HTC and Google Street View, which weren't previously part of Big Reds standard bloatware.

Hoping this is a sign of good things to come in the near future!

blackepoxy · Apr 10, 2012

Yes, bloatware will always be in VZW's future of good things to come...

I never update bloatware apps...

STeVe7320 · Apr 10, 2012

I get the same updates off and on. I always ignore them of course. But sometimes I'll have 6 pending, then other times I'll have 11.

Yeah, all my apps have been updating like crazy. A week or so ago I had 11 apps update one day, and 8 the next. Crazy.

Which lockscreen is that?

bberryhill0 · Apr 11, 2012

Sense 3.0 with the beam clock.

That's nice...was it hard to get Sense 3 on the Incredible 2?

bberryhill0 · Apr 11, 2012

Either look up a few posts for apps that look similar or root and install a custom ROM.

blackepoxy · Apr 14, 2012

What the best way to prepare for the ICS update?

From what I have read you should uninstall any home replacement app (Go launcher, Launcher pro)/set hTC sense as default home.
Also uninstall/stop from running any type of anti virus/security apps like Lookout before applying the update.

Make sure you have at least a 90% charge.
Anything else coming from a stock standpoint?
I am ready for ICS!

TheAtheistReverend · Apr 14, 2012

You'll want to be plugged in when updating.
Make sure you back up all your info and SD card.

blackepoxy · Apr 14, 2012

Really, plugged in to the charger?

TheAtheistReverend · Apr 14, 2012

The iPhone won't let you update without for good reason. Especially large updates like this.
It may not be required, but it is a good idea for sure.

blackepoxy · Apr 14, 2012

Yeah, I have heard that apple products force you to do that so you don't fry your device while updating, power down in the middle of the process, bricking your device.
So,i guess updating while charging/connected to the charger doesn't hurt anything, huh?

Makes sense to me... it's going to be a big update that's going to consume a lot of power to download and process. Wouldn't it suck to have the battery die right before the install is complete?

blackepoxy · Apr 15, 2012

Yes it would!!!
That would pretty much fry your phone!!!

*Brick*
:mad:

Who's ready to see a screen similar to this on their Incredible 2?

See what the text on the screen shows about charging?

*raises hand*

RBEmerson · Apr 23, 2012

Uh, if the DINC2 is at EOL, isn't this all rather very much moot?

bberryhill0 · Apr 23, 2012

Not to thousands of Incredible 2 owners who are a year or two away from an upgrade.
