HTC ICS Update

[NN123]

Hey there, I'm waiting for some time for an upgrade on my android OS for the HTC Desire S. I know its quite an old phone, but HTC says the 4.0 update will be available. Its currently running 2.3. Please advise if their will be an update anytime soon coz when I check my phone for updates, there's nothing.

I have the same phone, no updates yet, also running 2.3.5.

Dont think it will get 4.0 cause my phone already lags a bit on the 2.3.5 version.

ICS fukked up the Sensation so do a bit of research before upgrading when it comes out.

My Sensation was finally usable as a phone after the ICS upgrade a few months ago! Before that I used it as an Android device and my Nokia C6-00 as a phone!

Don't really mind which way it comes, as long as I can have it NOW.

My Desire S suffers from random restarts. Not too often, but it still happens. I wonder if ICS will sort this out? Unless the problem is hardware related...

With Ruu updates does it remove contents of SD card?

I installed the RUU. runs very smooth on my Desire S. The rotation screen animation is quicker and smoother. Ram on 2.3.5 was always about 80-90%. Now 65-75%. Games is definately smoother. With ICS it takes about half the time from dailing a number to ringing than before on Gingerbread. Only issue so far is opening a web link in Whatsapp. Whatsapp is working on the problem. Gmail looks and operates better. Web browsing is very nice. Document opening and editing is way better. You can now put full screen weather animation on or off. Makes phone faster. Overall look and feel is better. Please feel free to ask me questions.

You download the RUU file and connect your phone in sync mode to your pc. Just follow the onscreen steps. Make a backup of your contacts and apps before you start, sd card stays the same. The update erase all the phone memory. Clean installation.

I have about a 100mb more space left on ICS than i had on GB with the same apps installed.
