Jellybean update "confirmed" to be in the works.

The HTC EVO 3D will NEVER get Jelly Bean, I contacted HTC by email and they told me that the EVO 3D was designed to work well with ICS and that it would not get Jelly Bean, I'm a new user so I can't post a picture of the email but yall can go to HTC.com and send them an email and ask them , they won't take that long to reply , but it sucks, and maybe if a lot.of people complain about it, they might considered it, she never said it couldn't handle jelly bean, she just said that it was designed to work well with ICS

HTC and sprint chat representatives frankly don't know anything about what the company is planning.

I agree that the 3D will never see JB, but you can't base that on chat sessions
 
I highly doubt that it will happen even if people ask for it. The phone is discontinued.... They aren't going to pay to develop for a phone they don't even make.

That being said, I have jellybean and it's pretty sweet.... Gotta get on the rooting and get some jellybean! You're missing out.

Well if you get too desperate to root, you can send me your phone and I'll root it. Just pm me if that's something you would like to do and we can work out the details! ;)

I think you are a couple months early, this isn't April First - April Fool's Day. If you did really receive an official JB update Over The Air (OTA) then congrads, and you are in an elite group

While the evo 3d may be discontinued, VM has given it new life as the evo v. Is it 7months into its life cycle with VM? At least we provide an avenue for them to sell off some extra inventory.
I am looking forward to possibly buying a Samsung Galaxy S3 for $200 near the end of this year on VM. I don't mind being a generation or two behind if I am saving over half off on my phone bill.

This is what the article claiming we would get 4.1 was saying too. According to them, HTC has said the Evo 3D is discontinued and would not get it, but the Evo V is still in it's lifecycle so that's why we would get it. Again, according to the article.

How the hell was it "designed" to work well with an OS that didn't exist at the time?

Why are people still beating this around? This phone will NOT be getting Jellybean.

That's def the way all evidence has been pointing from the beginning. The 3d barely got ics

As with any update....Don't expect it. Just be pleasantly surprised when one comes.


If you want it now, i would think there should be root options available.

Exactly. It didn't come to me, I went to it.
I'm sporting JB, no bloatware, faster responses, and to top it all off, it's totally the way I want it. And if I no longer want it this way, I can swap the while thing out at a whim.
Seems to me the "other option" is better than waiting & hoping.
But that's just me.
