Desire HD: No Android-4 update due to small system partition

Desire HD
One week after HTC has removed the Android-4 update for the Desire HD, the manufacturer goes some reasons to it. With an update on Ice Cream Sandwich would be the memory umpartitioniert, all user data was lost.

In a statement, HTC responded to the angry owner of a Desire HD - a week after the company has canceled the promised for many months-4 Android update. HTC reasons for the decision so that the installation of an Android-4 updates all user data was irretrievably delete. Because the system partition on the Desire HD is too small sandwich for Android 4.0.x aka Ice Cream.

It remains unclear why HTC noticed this only after five months. In February 2012, the first Android-4 update for the Desire HD was announced. Three months later there was then a rough HTC's schedule for the Ice-Cream Sandwich update. But in May 2012 fell to HTC yet that the system partition in the Desire HD is too small.
No backup before the update

this together with HTC's Android 4.0.x Sense Extension on the Desire HD can be installed, the system partition must be increased. In this process erases all data on the device. There was no update, because the user would be so happy if their data was lost, so HTC. The obvious solution to this problem, says HTC will not: The producer could secure before repartitioning all user data and play back after the update.

According to HTC has tried to reduce the software package from Android 4.0.x and sense, but it has been shown that it functions would have to cease to use the regular customers. Another reason is called HTC vague that an update would deteriorate to the operation of the Android 4.0.x Desire HD. More details on this are not available.
HTC ignores petition

So far, HTC has not responded to the petition, the Desire HD owners have called for the cancellation of the Android-4 Updates to life. To date, nearly 13,000 concerned signed and call on HTC to release an Android-4 update. The Android 4.0 based on Cyanogenmod version run on the Desire HD with no problems, so that Android 4.0.x functioned principally based on the Desire HD.

The petition is prompted HTC to release the Android-4-update without any sense. Alternatively, should omit some features of HTC Sense. Something like it had with the HTC Desire of the first generation made. The Desire was awarded in summer 2011 to update to Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread, which was reduced in contrast to the other Gingerbread updates for HTC smartphone in functionality. Also with this update, all user data has been deleted.

In the past week was the first manufacturer of HTC Android smartphone for three models in an update to Android 1.4 aka Jelly Bean announced: the One S, One X One and XL. HTC will only reveal later what other models will receive the update

Google has further improved the speech, so that the voice-text a good result. Siri unlike Apple, Google has managed to get the processing on the device to take place so that no contact with the cloud application is needed.

Warning Widget is smarter
the drop-down menu where the warnings about a missed call or incoming message are, has got more features. With Jelly Bean, the user can use this menu to directly call back or reply to a message. Other interactions with social media are directly in the menu as possible.

NFC gets a bigger role
Jellybean has a new version of Android Beam which photos and videos can be easily shared with others who have an Android phone Beam suitable by simply tapping against each other. Near Field Communication (NFC) provides for the transfer.
