As the thread title states Sprint has announced the ICS updates for the EVO 3d and EVO Design 4g. Unfortunately, they have not given an exact date. An OTA update will begin in the first weeks of August.

Shame on HTC and Sprint. They've taken so long on the ICS update for these devices that they succeeded in making Samsung look quick by comparison. Never a good thing. :unsure:

Not to mention ICS is not what is on the minds of the public anymore. Jelly Bean is king now. The upgrade is already outdated.

 

The plus is that the OEMs should be able to upgrade to Jelly Bean fairly easily in comparison to the GB to ICS upgrade. If they choose to do so.

Sweet! Thanks for the info I've been wondering what was up with it hopefully its by the end the month and I agree way to long should have been a couple a months ago like sprint and HTC had said should be worth it

I really liked my evo 3d but damn, htc and sprint really treated that phone like it was the red headed step child of the family.

By the time they release the ICS update' date=' we would already have fully functioning Jelly Bean ports for the E3D (we have 2 so far on xda)

If I'm rooted and running a custom ROM, will this update affect my phone at all? I have 1.5 hboot and s on.

If you're rooted and running a custom ROM, it could affect your phone. My suggestion: Wait until the developers make the update safe for flashing.

I'm running the Evo Design and I for one think it is a bit ridiculous the amount of time we are forced to wait for ICS. One thing is it is done on the Evo Design on Boost Mobile and another is that the head of development (or something... it was an interview in May) said that it would be out in the June time frame following the release on Boost. This would give the Boost version an advantage for a bit. I understand that they have to make software work on their network with their services and all but it does feel like it was purposefully delayed, perhaps to make their new ICS phones (Evo LTE and GSIII) more valuable to new customers.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
