R u S-OFF ?? If so , then do not bother about official ICS update. just download the ICS ROM of your choice from xda and flash it. Even if you want the particular OTA from your career , that is also possible to flash being S-OFF. Download the ota and choose "install later"
It will save the zip on sdcard. Rename the zip to "update.zip". Boot into recovery (you should have custom recovery) and choose "install from sdcard" , select the "update.zip" and flash it.

If you are S-ON and rooted , then follow trkaaa's thread. !!

I think I am S-Off and i know I am deffinitly rooted, is there a way to check this?? thanks!

Yup boot the phone while pressing the volume down key. it will be the first line you will see on the white screen.

I keep getting error 495 when updating my app hey tell. Its not the first app that has failed to download. it just hangs at 22 percent. Anybody know how to fix this?

Question that I didn't see, unless I looked over it.

Why do we need firmwares and such for this device before flashing roms like ICS? I came from the mytouch, where do you didn't need to do this.

Firmwares allow you to update your radio and ensure your hardware is able to match the desired settings to run ICS

They are needed whether you have Super CID or not, correct?

Yes. Firmware is needed.

The phone won't work without firmware at all.

ya supercid allows you to match any firmware. otherwise you will have to "get var" your phone and find the approriate firmware that goes with your cid. having supercid is quite beneficial. it makes it universal.

my question is about bluetooth

when i connect my phone to my car stereo it connects and starts playing but i dosent send the track info "artist, song, album" my 3gs does that

is there is anyway i can get it to do it too ?

thanks

are you talking about an iphone? Idk about iphones but ive never messed with them on android this way. if it streams the song thats all that matters I guess

my completely stock (with a few extra apps) sensation 4g runs the quadrant benchmark and only gets around 1655 to 1855 and runs it super slow compared to the speed of the tests in online videos.

linpack single thread test: mflops=~43, time=~2secs, norm res=5.68
linpack multi thread test: mflops=~72.7, time=~2.32, norm res=3.24

these scores and time it takes to complete the tests seems long...is there something wrong with hardware/software?
