I rooted mine and installed a custom "Elegancia" rom ver 4.03 on it over the weekend. Looks nice too.

From HTC Ireland's Facebook page:

"HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon thereafter by the HTC Sensation XL.

In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks."

If the official ICS from HTC is even half as good as the ICS ROM i'm running you'll see a huge improvement. My battery life is amazing compared to stock.

When you say amazing.. how long are you getting between charges ?

I have to charge mine every day.

Averaging at least 36 hours with moderate use. I used to have to charge it every evening as soon as i got in from work(having charged it for a bit in the morning before i went out).

Doesn't sound too bad. I only started using juice defender yesterday and it has made an improvement already.
What rom are you running ? I'm using Elagancia.

I'm on ARHD 6.2.1

Full Sense with no lag,great battery life,pretty much what i hoped the phone should've been like when i first bought it.

A little tip i pulled from XDA that might help with battery life is go into Settings>Develop Options and scroll to the bottom under Apps and limit Background Process Limit to 2 or 3. It does seem to help the battery and helps keep the phone running smooth and fast.

Delighted to hear that the Desire HD is included in this update. It's been well over a year since it was released and to still see them supporting it is an encouraging sign that HTC will support future devices for longer now, rather then the one year that older devices seemed to get

Here's the official HTC blog post, for completeness:

No mention of the HTC Desire Z in their official list.

I asked on vodafone Ireland's facebook page when they expected to be rolling out the ICS update of their sensations. I was told sometime around May. That company is a joke. Guess I'm going to have to put it on myself when a proper rom is released.

They'll need a month or two to put all their crapware that you don't want onto the "official" ROM.

At least you got an answer all I got told from Meteor was we don't know.

Looks like Sensations carriers are getting the update over the next week..

29 March 2012: Updates for HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE
For those of you with an HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE, we have some updates for you! Most European carriers will start rolling-out ICS for these devices this week. For carriers outside of Europe, we will be pushing updates over the next few weeks and will have specifics soon.

Ha.. I went away and rooted my phone and then went and got a custom ICS rom rather than wait. Then they updated my facebook query with "Oh I made a mistake on that date.. you should have the update in two weeks... :rolleyes:

I'm having the same problem...
Hugely annoyed.
And it's nothing like the "real" ICS because of the stupid htc sense...
I love the sensation but hate sense

Ya but not sense 4.0, sense 3.6....its like a horrible mix of gingerbread sense with the very odd bit of ICS mixed in.
