Will the EVO 4G get the "NEW" HTC Sense?

[system60]

I also wonder how gingerbread will affect Sense since its supposed to be a bit step up for the vanilla interface

According to HTC "chief" over here (nordic) HTCsense.com will NOT be given to any, but owners of the new handsets (nor the new sense ui). So basically they shafted every recent owner. My Desire is 2 weeks "old". This blows.

I'm not surprised at all. That's why I mentioned root earlier in the thread. Htc is not going to give all the goodies to all their phones. If they give the evo all the extras, why would you buy another phone. If I had to guess, gingerbread will be the same sense that we have now. Hopefully gingerbread will have some great enhancements and sense won't be necessary.

That was a really good presentation. I am impressed by the new sense.

When does HTCsense.com go public? I just tried it and it asked me for a password and user login.

On 9/15, HTC Tweeted that it would go public "Next month" ie October.

biggest thing for me is

landscape sense uI

exactly, agreed. ESPECIALLY with a landscape music player. we have a kickstand and the music player doesn't switch to landscape. how terrible is that?

I haven't dealt with that for months but I went back to a Sense-based ROM using Sense instead of LP and it's frustrating to say the least.

I didn't get to see what's new with the new sense UI I got crappy signal where I'm at now and video won't play all the way thru can .someone explain...

There was a list of phones that would get the upgrades (the EVO was one of them) the phones have to be running a certain hardware to qualify for the new sense upgrade..

If I remember correctly there was only four current phones on the list

Will they change and not upgrade current phones to the new sense? that is anyones guess.

 

[broadwayblue]

Yeah, while they may not provide the new Sense to all their phones, I highly doubt they will exclude the EVO, a flagship device that's only been out for a few months. I'd bet money we'll get the upgrade eventually.

Where was this list? I'm really interested in the New HTC Sense stuff... and I reallllly hope we get it too!!

This looks cool. Hopefully HTC will listen tor pleas.

the only people with an excuse for whining about updates are hero owners. i was a hero owner, but i'm not kicking sand to complain about this. I got evo on launch day, we got froyo in a month among other updates and remain the flagship phone despite launch of the Epic. We'll get the new sense, 95% sure of it.

I've mentioned this a couple times but no one seemed to respond, but I have an idea about how HTC and Motorola/et al can proceed with using their skins while curing the fragmentation issues: Give the option to update to new versions of android like 3.0 when its available and then work on skinning it. Make the first one a manual .zip update to download off the website instead of an OTA so the uninformed dont accept it thinking they'll get the update with sense. Then push out an update with the updated version that is skinned. That would pretty much end the constant bitching about it by providing a choice.

With apologies toteh OP, but I renamed this thread to be more appropriate to its discussion. The way it was originally titled it seemed that the EVO 4G was already getting it and we don't want to mislead folks into thinking that.

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing when I first read the thread.

 

[cyaiphone]

this has me stoked!!! I hope EVO gets this!!!! Please if anyone knows when this might be released for us inform us!!!

 

[cabbie]

Brilliant!

appreciate the recognition if they gave the choice to require a few steps like downloading off the website, transfer to SD card then flash an AOSP update (which would be very simple for the type of user that wants AOSP) or let users wait for an OTA update with Sense on it (which most users would be okay with) then it would be a simple fix. All they'd have to do is adapt the 3.0 update to Evo's hardware/display to release an AOSP...which they have to do anyway in the process of putting Sense on top.

im filing this idea under 'it makes so much sense (lol) that its likely to never be done'

HTC Desire HD Showcases New Sense UI, Other Froyo Handsets To Follow

Nice long vid of Desire and New Sense. Sorry if it has been posted.

HTC’s Spanish division has suggested (via Twitter) that the latest version of its Sense UI will be coming to all Froyo handsets – old and new.

Here’s the tweet, which was originally uncovered by Phandriod:

“The Desire and rest of terminals with version 2.2 (Froyo) will be able to enjoy the #Htcsense a greeting.”

 

[Complex757]

For a phone I've had since launch day, I'm happy with the amount of updates, enhancements and improvements.

In the eight months I had my Hero, I think I had two updates.

 

[Deleted User]

I have feeling we will get the new Sense at some point.... provided the EVO remains one of Sprint's top phones. But, I wouldn't trust the Spanish HTC division.
