Can this phone be upgraded to Ice cream sandwich?

I think it can from the SD card. Its quite a process and I haven't done it myself so can't confidently say go for it but check youtube. Do a google search for upgrading HTC A8181 G2 Vision to ice cream sandwich and more than likely you'll see some tutorials. Hope this helps. If all else fails, call HTC support and ask them if this phone is capable of the upgrade. Good luck.

I've heard that yes, it can, but I believe you have to jaibreak it/hack it.

Yes it can. These upgrades cannot be OTA. You may have to load Cyanogen Mod 9 that is ICS which is a separate way to upgrade. But performance degrades and becomes slow. If you are on Gingerbread, that's the best for this phone

Yes if you root it and install a custom ROM but....it is choppy and runs really really slow.terribly so...wouldn't do it. Along with that, more things would NOT work on the phone than DO.

I don't think so. At least, there is no ICS version of Cyanogenmod for this phone. I think I remember reading on some forums that some people managed to get ICS working, but perhaps the camera didn't work or something. In any case, it is probably not so easy to do.

Ice cream sandwich is what Android called their 4.0 platform. It is just the name of the operating system (to the best of my knowledge). I have not personally used Skype on this phone, but the app is available in the Google Play store to download. It downloaded and opened successfully on my phone. However, I have not tried to use Skype in any capacity on the phone, so I cannot comment on its functionality.

operating system on my Galaxy Tab 2 is Jelly Bean 4.1.1 whereas Ice Cream sandwich is 4.0.

I don't think so. I've checked on the Internet and it said that this cellphone can't install it.I hope it helps!

The newer 4.2.2 give you a lot of newer features including MRE voice control. There is also a problem in ICE Cream Sandwich as it is set up on the Nook HD+ that makes it hard if not impossible to load Google Contacts.

Hello! You can upgrade this phone to latest iOS, and continue to upgrade in the future including the inevitable IOS 8!

No, its got some kind of micro-motherboard with built-in everything. what really needs to be ungraded is the processor. 1.7GHz is worse then most modern smart phones.

Yes you can. However, I purchased this same phone about three months ago and it is terribly outdated. More like an old palm treo than an android of today. Crashes constantly, cannot surf web at close to reasonable speed. Not realistic as a smart phone in todays world. Very, Very outdated.

You should be able to.However it is a very difficult phone to use. Won't recommend it at all.

It originally came out as Ice Cream Sandwich and could be upgraded to Jelly Bean. It can be upgraded to Jelly Bean now. But I think if you buy a new one it should run stock on Jelly Bean. If its used, you want to check the OS to see if the previous owner upgraded it to jelly bean and if not then don't worry. It can be upgraded. Hope this helped. :)

I haven't seen or heard of one but if you go to you tube and look up NextBook Premuim 8 SE Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich a Quick Review by "cheapgeek" there are quite a few places he posts where you can look for android apps. maybe you can look into them and see if there is one.

This will not interfere with an upgrade. You just log on to your Verizon website, choose your daughter's current device, and choose "Switch Devices." This phone does NOT have a data package capability though. Just so you realize this.

I do not think so, but their model features could change. I suggest you call them at the no on their web site. The phone is good and simple, and they always answered questions.

Not that I know of. I have Verizon and have no current updates. Bought this as replacment for my old phone that went to hell. Activation was'nt hard.

The upgrades happen automatically. Just turn off your phone, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. However, if you want something more modern, you'll need to get a smart phone.

4.0 ice cream sandwich but you should be able to get any version you want its about what u know root it and install the new operating system if it gives you any problems load the OS onto an sd card and in settings somewhere you should be able to update without rooting it but if the company doesnt allow it root the device

There is no upgrades available. Per my call to Hisense this morning, they are not ever going to update it. The only other option is to Root the device and load a custom firmware. The only issues with the customer firmwares is that most of the ones I've read about generally have something that does not work such as the Camera. The Custom developers are generally always working on getting everything working though.
