Good news today from T-Mobile folks. It looks like HTC and T-Mobile have finally completed testing for the HTC Sensation 4G and its upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. After multiple announcements, details, previous reports of coming soon and more, it looks like it will finally be available possibly sometime this month.
Previous reports suggested the update had been severely delayed, and that it might not be available until sometime in June. Today’s news is an indication that the update will be available very soon, possibly within the next 2 weeks considering testing has been completed and all systems are a go. T-Mobile has just confirmed this today on their official support blog.
May 2 News: The Android 4.0 (ICS) update for the HTC Sensation 4G has completed its testing process and we expect it to be available very soon. Please stay tuned for an official communication from T-Mobile regarding how and when you’ll be able to receive the update.
That is good news. Usually the official update rollout begins very shortly after the testing process has been completed. T-Mobile will need to get everything in place and will then start pushing out the update for the Sensation. While “very soon” could mean anything, considering all the other Sensations have already received the update we have a feeling T-Mobile will be working hard to bring this to customers as fast as possible so stay tuned for further details.

Finally! I was starting to get really antsy and about to install a custom ROM myself! Looks like I don’t have to now! 🙂
Hi, I have T-Mobile SIM lock phone and currently I am located in India… Is this update applicable to me as well ??? Or do I need to wait till update is available in India???
hey man , m also frm india , m worried about dis only!!!!
Hmmm Yes dude.. Recently I contacted HTC Customer Care and they told me to contact T-mobile… and there are chances that we will get the updates once T-Mobile releases ICS…
we need to wait…
I have upgraded ICS an unlocked HTC ( Tata docomo)
Doh, I already hacked my phone and installed opensensation.
Jeez.. Some people were NOT patient. Yes, there were long delays, but would you have Clean, bugless software updates, or the buggiest software update you can get?
hai am in syria and i have unlocked sensation 4g from t mobile they did send me the code to unlock it so my phone is regular but i wanna know if i will get the new update or not ?!!
because of my location
i need it very much u know there is no arabic language in my phone ………
i dont want to root it….
I’m so glad I waited this long for the update. I was going to and root my phone for the hell of it! Good thing I looked up when the update is coming out.
I wonder what they consider “SOON” its been 2 weeks since the last announcement and no update. I don’t call 2 weeks “REAL SOON” so instead of coming out in the middle of June I guess they will release the update at the end of May…REAL SOON my ass
