More on Gingerbread :
Official info on 2.3 - http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3.html
SDK now available - see above or also http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3.html to upgrade your SDK or download the whole package at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Can't wait till it's ported to the G2 / DZ!
The Google (Samsung) Nexus S has been officially announced though (shipping on Dec 16), so that'll be first with 2.3. Hopefully it won't be too long before we get some custom ROMs cooked up (which is bound to be sooner than an official update for our phones).

Before the D Z was released there was lots of talk about whether it would meet the min specs for gingerbread. I've not seen mention in any of the posts about gingerbread across the net as to what these specs are. Does anyone know?
Will the D Z run this comfortably?

Gingerbread is only a minor update, not the major update people thought it was originally. And the whole minimum spec thing was debunked as false a while back, I believe.
So yes, it'll be fine.
woohoo, cheers for that mate.
Is any of you Android techies able to tell whether this 2.3 update will fix the Bluetooth initiated voice dialing?
I couldn't find anything there except for 'BlueZ' whatever that is....????

From what I've read usually a phone gets updated once or twice. Wish they would skip this then.

BlueZ is the Bluetooth stack. So I guess we can hope they might have fixed this if it was a problem ? Sorry I have no idea whether that's the case or not, just that the notes do say that BlueZ is updated.
Guys in one week i wiil buy the x8 so i have some questions about [ROMS] i have seen 3 out there one named 2.2 minicm one 2.2 cyanogen 6 and one which is 2.3 gingerbread ......so i ask which of these is better more stable less laggy etc and if there is a dual touch function or multi touch... Thanks in advance
No multi-touch. The most stable ROM is 2.2 MiniCM. If you can, give this phone a miss, it is a nightmare (Sony has given up on the Xperia range altogether (excluding phones newer than Arc, etc.)).
Yeah i searched a while but this phone is kinda afordable i mean 140 euros WoW So.......
I got my new phone yesterday after I threw my old one in a wall a couple of times...
Since I9505 are not in sale anymore I got an I9506 instead. Should that be yet another thread here for it?
If you look at the comparison: GSMArena
Snapdragon 600 --> 800
Krait 300 --> 400 (2.5 Mhz)
Adreno 320 --> 330
It's an S4 on steroids.
Antutu with everything out of the box gives: 34390 which is "in pair" with the Note 3.
Haven't rooted it yet so I don't know the speed on the special kernels here.
Own forum or coexist with the i9505?
It is quite substantial changes so a new sub-forum would be logical? And I guess that is the one that will be pushed?
And that brings me to yet another question:
I know you have carrier-branded phones in USA and each has it's own forum, but do they differ that much between each other?
Right now we have one for each and some fix and tricks get easily lost because it's in the "Verizon" forum and not here but it works just splendid on all the S4's?
So my question is, do they really differ that much that we can't keep them all under this forum for ALL S4-versions?
Yes, a bit more sub-forums here, but compare that to the main thread and we all have a scroll wheel on the mouse right?
How do they differ? Are they so substantially different that they warrant their own forum completely? I mean, they are all S4, right?
Please educate me from my communistic country where they only sell unlocked mobiles

Hello.
I have the Motorola Defy. About a year after I got it I updated to Cyanogen Mod I think version 7.1 which is Gingerbread.
I have issues using VPN on this and always needing to type password is a pain.
Is it worth me updating Defy to something like Jellybean or KitKat and if so is there a Cyanogen mod I can use for this or do you recommend any XDA Developers rom on this site?
Would these versions jellybean and kitkat of Android be okay to run without too many issues on a Defy which is quite an old phone now being 3 years old maybe 4?
I believe there is a tiny bit of overclocking possible with the Defy because they originally limited the cpu to I think it was 600 or 800mhz. 1.1Ghz is probably possible "just". Single core though and memory quite small nowadays.
Is it worth updating Android version on this phone to get another year or so use out of it & revive for a bit longer or would you just not bother and instead get something better?
Do you know if there are many know issues for going to Jellybean or Kitkat or would it generally be better than staying on outdated Gingerbread?
Thanks for your advice

Just wondering if it's possible to get Android Go working on the HTC Wildfire. I still have one lying around for use as a backup phone. I read that many Sony phones from 2012-13 are getting Go ported for them.
Hello, I think not really. HTC Wildfire had its premiere in 2010. It also has 384 MB RAM, CPU - Qualcomm MSM7225 and processor clock - 528 MHz with one core. Do you really think that it would be possible to make Android GO? I own one HTC Wildfire myself, but I sincerely doubt it.
