HTC Sense 3.0 won’t be supported on older HTC devices

15 April, 2011
It turns out that the new Sense UI 3.0, currently available on dual-core HTC phones such as the HTC Sensation or the CDMA HTC EVO 3D won't be supported by older HTC devices. This would really create a serious...

Poor support my ass... This new interface will simply not work (or behave really badly) on single-core devices. So instead of delivering you lagging eye-candy (case in which you'd whine like a bunch of sissies that your phone stopped responding), they prefer letting slower devices do their job at their own speed-rate. So stop whining about fancy taskbars and start complaining about kernel issues (if any).

      Got used to the crappy HTC support for their older devices. You cannot get any useful official updates from their site, besides a couple of minor bug fixes. Probably the worst support i ever met in the mobile market.

              AnonD-6008, 15 Apr 2011Typical HTC, such poor support... :/poor support ? HTC is the best Android manufacturer in category updating their Android phone product, check the statistic. No upgrade of sense to older device ? have any other manufacturer did this kind of update in the past ? (for ex: the touchWiz). Not like the other, HTC always gave update for many things from its HTC Hub.. so poor support? I think not

                  this is just business tactics... want consumers to change their new htc model just to get the new features... smart but idiots...

                        at least HTC can say GOOD WORK GUYS to XDA members and Dev's...
                        If nothing more, they are solving HTC's shit instead of their R&D Department..

                        So, they test it, optimize it, and HTC will publish a new update in 1 month based on that.. Shame on HTC! Go with the people front to become No.1

                                  AnonD-5981, 15 Apr 2011Desire S or Xperia Neo? I think Desire S... Why? Their s... moreDesire S may give u outdate UI. but there's UI apps! Sony only give u the basice android UI. So no reason to choose Neo base on the outdated UI. quite lame.

                                  HTC desire S have higher RAM, good for running big apps as well as more apps at the same time. why consider neo?

                                        this will definately decrease the market share of htc... most people buy wildfire s or maybe desire s .. there are less number of people who can afford a mobile of rs 30000... Even the incredible s that is around rs 27000 will not support 3.0 UI.This one was bad HTC .. Find a way out soon or u will be trouble...
