HTC might just have rolled out a new flagship in the beastly One X+, but rest assured, if you’ve got the still-stellar original One X or slightly more pocketable One S, you’ll be on the Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ train very soon. The update will hit around November, just in time for Christmas, if you haven’t already rooted, of course.
I hope this actually includes Google Now
Yep, should do.
and how long before the networks roll it out?
That, my friend, is a very good question.
Euch, I’d been all excited about this until you reminded me that the networks need to tinker first.
Possibly my main gripe on Android is how long updates take to come through. I have a weekly ritual involving clicking on the ‘Check for updates’ button in Settings, safe in the knowledge there are none.
The fact that Orange (sorry, EE) will undoubtedly delay this for another couple of months is almost too much to bear.
It’s why I’m waiting for the new Google Nexus phone….always fastest updates.
yeah i that is also my main gripe. and yeah orange is rubbish with the updates. what are the new features with JB?
Smooth buttery interactions, Google Now (very excited to have on my phone as it’s great on my Nexus 7), better widget homescreen placements..just to name a few.
I have a question – what ROM can I flash on my S3 to make it as identical as possible to the Nexus, including OTA updates that don’t break anything?
Would be great to hear news of JellyBean for devices such as the HTC Sensation, though given the operator tinkering we likely won’t be seeing it until middle of next year.
am with you there, would rather them say we were either not getting it or give an approximate date than stay quiet about it
