It's not about Sprint. We here in the UK/Europe have the unlocked GSM version of the EVO 3D. If ICS was released we would have got it already. It's not Sprints fault, when HTC find it fit to release ICS, then they will announce it.
For now, we should all chill and hibernate for a month or so
Yes I would like to know too.
Also has Sprint ever said anything about ics for the Evo 3d?
5000mah battery???
Don't know about you but i don't want my phone to look like the ones they used in Vietnam to call in airstrikes.

Without being able to remove the battery how will you be able to get out of a boot loop before the battery dies or if the phone freezes?
Do you really think they don't have a way of forcing the phone to shut off? I haven't done the research on it but I'm sure if you do something like hold the power button down or push a combination of buttons the phone cuts the power off.
Do people really think HTC wouldn't have thought about this? The first thing that customer service will tell you at any location when you bring your phone in is to reset it or pull the battery. It's essential to have the option to hard reboot when software acts up. They aren't stupid enough to not include some method to do so.
That's why i said cool.. When receiveng the phone, you will need your both hand to keep up the phone to your ear.. LoL
Cool isn't it?

This would work if HTC designed a phone that was sized and shaped like the iPad...
^ What he said.. Having access to the battery isn't necessary. I've been stuck in bootloops before and I've been able to get out and back into recovery without having to pull the battery.
Don't know how many of you guys knew this but the cutoff combination for our 3D is volume up+down+power.
If someone's already brought this up, I apologize.

Let go of everything and quickly hold the volume down button.

^ What he said lol. As long as there's a way to cut off the power like on our phones (which I'm sure there will be), I don't see what the gripe is with the embedded batteries other than those who use more than one battery.
Edit: And just to be crystal clear, you let go of everything and hold power+ volume down.

I just tried this and it didn't work. My 3d just booted into the rom thst was installed.
Same here. I've actually tried it multiple times with no success. Not saying it doesn't work. I've just never been able to get it to work.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
That method always works for me. You have to make sure you're holding the button down as you press the power button or you'll miss your chance.

For now, we should all chill and hibernate for a month or so3"I'm starting a new post to say we need to get pissed. From November I've been looking online every ****ing day to see if any new information will arrive. I don't give a dam if this is googles htc or sprints fault. This is completely bull**** and unacceptable."
Why is it unacceptable? ICS source was, I believe, released in November. That's about 6 months ago. HTC has a large portfolio of devices that they need to work on upgrading, bug testing, and so on. They're going to make sure they release a finished product. They had to prioritize something, so they focused on the Sensation line first. You didn't get picked first, deal with it. It's only been 6 months. It seems like a long time, but for a corporation that is designing new phones, working on upgrading older ones, and dealing with a lot of other things, that isn't that long at all. Also, it's not like other manufacturers have been releasing ICS on their phones left and right. Show me a Moto phone that has been upgraded. How about the Epic 4G Touch's update?
"Lets keep it real, google has released everything so the fact that we have complete working versions I keep the blame off them."
What are you trying to say? Are you saying that this isn't Google's fault because they've released the source code? That's true. This isn't their fault. But it's not like the source code that they release can just be put onto our phones; HTC actually needs to do work with that. The update between Gingerbread and ICS is a pretty significant one, so HTC probably has to put quite a bit of work into it.
"So lets get on HTC, the evo lte does not have a removable battery or sd card. We are the ones that buy these phones. They lock our boot loaders, this is just all bs."
What's wrong with the lack of a removable battery? It's a design choice. I bet you can't think of one reason not to have a removable battery other than to use a larger battery. Guess what? Too bad. HTC chose to integrate the battery so that they could give a better built phone. And the LTE DOES have a removable SD card. This shows that you barely even did research on the phone before deciding to complain about it.
We and thousands of others buy these phones. HTC locks the bootloader for safety reasons. I can't believe that people do not understand this. They don't want to have to deal with idiots messing up the phones. There are plenty of people here who know how to flash ROMs but other than that cannot hold their own at all. HTC has nothing to gain by unlocking the bootloaders on their phones, and a lot to lose. But they offer a way for us to unlock them officially, and in a safe way. Almost all of their recent devices are supported by this, and you don't have to worry about updates. It really is a good service but people overlook it because it voids their warranty. Which it should.
"I mean sick seeing posts about mean rom and people saying this will hold me over till ics. They the **** do we have to wait."
Mean ROM is a great ROM and it provides a stable experience for people that want a fully working phone. Our current ICS ROMs are buggy and not nearly stable enough. They also lack some basic functionality, such as camera and 4G. We have to wait because the update hasn't been released yet.
Bottom line: This phone hasn't been updated yet, but neither has the Rezound, the RAZR, the Epic 4G Touch, and so on.. the number of phones that have been updated is incredibly low. This is because they haven't finished them yet. These are companies that release expensive electronics to consumers, and need good reviews from their customers. This means that they have to work at nearly perfecting a release; they have to fix the bugs, make it stable, and make sure everyone will be able to use it without problems. If they release an update that hasn't been tested thoroughly enough, they could face major backlash from the market. Now instead of a few hundred people on development forums complaining that an update hasn't been released yet, they have thousands upon thousands of customers with phones that don't work right.
Making a few hundred people angry >>>>> making a few thousand people angry.
This applies to all of the OEMs, not just HTC. So stop your complaining, stop your whining. You aren't the only one in the world who hasn't gotten his precious ICS update yet. Many other people are waiting for it too, on different carriers, different phones, and so on. All around the world. I don't think you realize that it isn't as simple as copy and pasting to each phone and throwing it out there. It works here on XDA because the users can function as testers, but that's not how professional businesses work. Users are not supposed to be testers for their work; they have employees for that.2I get your mad but this only makes about the 50th thread about this. If you want ics go buy a nexus or use one of the other ics roms. You could help by developing yourself and stop complaining. I bought this phone because it was faster than the EVO 4g not because of ics. And mean Rom is great so isn't just about every ROM in the development section ( blaming that as to why I'm a flashaholic) unless I missed something and ics with sense will cure everything. So just chill for now I'm sure your phone works fine and if you need something so bad either develop or pay to play.
