Android 4.0 ICS Update for HTC Incredible S Now Available in India


Good news for HTC Incredible S owners living in India as the Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer has decided to start the rollout of the long-awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Those who were afraid that HTC Incredible S may have the same faith as the Desire HD, which has recently been denied the same update, can now rest easy as their phones will receive the hotly anticipated upgrade.

It appears that offering Ice Cream Sandwich updates for older Android phones has been quite a challenge for HTC.

The company has recently announced that HTC Desire HD won’t be receiving an official Android 4.0 ICS update in the future “to how storage on the HTC Desire HD is partitioned - and the larger size of Android 4.0 - it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data in order to install this update.”

Basically, it means that the phone is short on storage and users would have to delete all data stored in the memory in order to install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This is a rather weird explanation especially that HTC Incredible S has a lower amount of internal memory.

In fact, aside from internal memory, both smartphones, HTC Desire HD and Incredible S, have similar features. They are powered by the same Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon single-core processor clocked at 1GHz and pack 768MB of RAM.

Luckily, HTC Incredible S will be getting the promised Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, while Desire HD owners will be stuck on Gingerbread.

According to AndroidOS, an Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update is now available for download in India. The file is about 250MB in size and is pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, so not all Incredible S owners will get it at the same time.

The update is said to add HTC Sense 3.6 UI, as well as new features and overall improvements. Users can manually check for the update by going to Settings / About / Software update.
