*Rezound ICS OTA is live Thread*

Coming from the Incredible, I'm jaded about updates.

I vote for an update not happnin'.

I agree. I loved my OG Incredible.... Until the gingerbread update. Had to factory reset my phone every three weeks after that, just to keep it functioning. I got my Rezound last month and deliberately unlocked and rooted this phone so I WON'T get the OTA Update. I love how stable this Rezound is, and am happy to wait until the bugs are worked out.

What, exactly, are the benefits of ICS over gingerbread, anyway. This is a serious question, not sarcasm. Maybe I'd get more excited about the update if I knew of some specific improvements.
 
Remember Rick.....Casablanca....waiting for his girl at the train station until finally losing hope? He didn't see her again till years later. ICS will kinda be like that. You can still wait at the train station today but it's a waste of time. :-)

I have been running ICS on my Touchpad. The main item is really the optimization for dual-core support. If you do not have a dual core device, ICS is nice, but not as huge for you.

I have personally liked the feel of ICS, the menus, and how everything is organized more than GB. The quick access to widgets is nice, and I LOVE the ability to make folders of apps by dropping them on each other & naming them whatever I want. Helps me organize the screen area with apps of similar types by the icon that I, personally, identify with it the most. Also, they have a recent app list that you can get to without a long hold on the home button.

And finally...the browser. I may actually drop my Opera for the ICS stock browser when I get it on my phone. Stock Froyo/GB browser required you to install a replacement. Dolphin was nice to start, but got annoying with some questionable actions in regards to security of data. So I have Opera now.

Not a huge list of items, but with Sense, I have lost some of my feeling for stock GB to compare since my OG Droid is currently my alarm clock and thus cannot point out specific differences.
 
^^Schimm r u saying v'r not getting any ?? :)
I have my phone on the desktop charger already - we need full power for any of these major updates. Either they won't let us do it, or they'll let us do it but will quickly run the power down 25% to 75% while at it. Or we'll all have 100% battery today because there's no ICS ha ha :)
 
Lol.....oh, of course I do. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Hmm. I think the update was posted as April 6, 2013...
The current OS works great, a few bugs but nothing to throw the phone under the bus for, except the bloatware.

Ok... our phones' Verizon Location Agents are on the way to visit a certain BB store.


j/k :p
 
"To correct the latest round of conjecturatti and bogusazzi reports, we contacted Verizon Wirelesss spokesman Albert Aydin to find out if the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades for the HTC Rezound" ... "Aydin confirmed, "Verizon Wireless is not pushing out an update to the HTC Rezound, Droid RAZR, Droid RAZR MAXX or Droid 4, today or this weekend.""

HTC Rezound, Droid RAZR MAXX 4 Android 4.0 ICS Update Release Date Soon? | WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

So stop checking for new software and move on with your weekend :)

Happy Easter everyone!
Take care!
 
Agents closed the BB store early and surrounded the employee...

they may have delayed it a little because of the holidays. You may see it Monday maybe?

regardless we are getting it just dont know when.
 
You know what would be nice? If the delay was due to Sense 4.0 coming out and being integrated into the build. I know that many of you don't like Sense, but it sounds like a better match for ICS than 3.6. Personally, I think it would be a worth-while wait.

I remember waiting around for 2.1 on my Eris. By the time it came out, the phone was pretty much obsolete. Now that I have a decent phone, the current features are "good enough" for now. I haven't even rooted this thing yet. So yeah, I for one can wait for the most current software from both Android and HTC.

We just retired the last of our Eris phones. My wife moved a tiny step up to the Fascinate, and I bought the rezound. I had moved on from the Eris long ago and gave it to my daughter. My journey from the Eris took me to the Incredible, and then to the DX2 (which I was never satisfied with, hence my return to HTC). I passed the DX2 to my daughter who is just happy that it doesn't take a minute to read a text. :)

Yeah, I remember that...and it was pretty annoying. 2.2 was around the corner, and had the Apps2SD feature that phones like the Eris really needed (and never received). Once I learned about that, I got a Droid X and my wife got a Droid 2. I just bought the Rezound a week ago and like it enough to wait for the official ICS update.
 
Ok....first off don't shoot the messenger here...lol. I called Verizon just now & talked to a service rep. I'm going out of town in 2 weeks & figured I'd see if I could find out about the update knowing it'd prob be a waste of my time calling. To my surprise after checking 2 computer systems the very nice Verizon service rep told me there is an Android operating system update scheduled for April 12th for the HTC Trophy & the HTC REZOUND. Again please don't shoot the messenger....but if she is correct we'll all be enjoying a nice slice of ICS this weekend.
 
Thanks fyr, I'm "hoping" that's accurate! But as Hank Hills wife Peggy once said..... "You can hope in one hand, and poop in the other, and see which one gets full first." Lol.....here's hoping it's the "hope hand". Lol
