Eric Schmidt seen using Nexus S

You can tell the nexus S is a samsung phone because its made of cheap plastic. But to bad the specs arent the same as Galaxy s Phones.....huge bummer to those who bought one and dont even have Froyo yet.

Nope, not a bummer. Polly want a cracker?
good day.

:sigh:.....................

Why is that not a bummer? I think its very disapointing

Awesome a noob!

bL33d i love how you call me a new noob but i can guarentee ive had more android phones than you.
All im saying is to have bought a Fascinate and to have sooo many quirky problems....like GPS and the slow to get 2.2 Froyo. Its disapointing when a phone with such great hardware has to wait for a os update. And now gets KO'd by a dev phone which sets the standard for the next year as the first nexus did.
Makes you admire how Apple runs there business. You know what your getting with them. With Android is Awesome hardware with hit or miss with updates to the OS. Samsung has had a bad reputation with OS updates!!!

This is really sherwood1 huh.?! Come on, don't lie.... ; )
Also, please learn to spell before posting. Its really hard to take you seriously when you spell like a 4th grader. I personally think your a bit insecure too but that's just me.
Just my 2nd cents.

Spelling does suck

If the hardware is the same or very similar to that of the Fascinate and other SGS phones, wouldn't that mean that future updates would be easier to port? I'd think that would make the phone more desirable personally.

Just a hunch. The update to froyo is on hold because the galaxy series is going right to gingerbread. Didn't anyone ever think of that?

yeah that would be awesome if they had same hardware ....but i doubt it. Look at the phone. The camera is very different, speakerphone is in a completely different spot, and the 4 buttons across the bottom are in a different order.
But I soooooo hope its the same!!!!!

Danny, if I hadn't seen your other posts I'd have thought this one was a troll aimed at people who have no clue about phones.
Let me just danny this down for you. The things you just listed are roughly equivalent to saying:
"my blue honda civic runs on gas, your honda civic probably can't run on gas...because it's red"

Ummm i said The nexus 2 was spotted....looking different in many ways to the galaxy S. The Nexus sets the standard for ANDROID phones....does it not? Its a shame because we dont even have 2.2 yet....
But I hope im wrong...
Now if this doesnt make sense to you , its ok Just take my red honda out your As#

The i-9000 is different from the Vibrant, Captivate, Epic, and Fascinate, yet things that work on one were able to be ported to the others. Voodoo lagfix, BLN, Voodoo color and I'm sure there are others changes that have been ported. Having hardware that is very similar in how it works is a great start. If the next Nexus device is based on the SGS lineup, it should make it easier down the road for development.

..and what's so WTF about it? Google usually releases two major updates a year. Once in the Spring/Summer and one in the Winter. Business as usual. Only now they have a tablet version with it's own schedule.

Jello however has become a genericized brand synonymous with gelatins, much like people often refer to all tissues as "kleenex"

Tired of these rumors. Ever since the word of froyo coming out everyone was saying oh its a tablet only release. Get off that crap. Sure google would be smart enough to call it gingerbread 2.4t or 3.0t which ever it is. T for tablet if need be. It wouldn't be wise nor make sense to make device specific OS upgrades.

Why wouldn't it make sense? Phones and tablets should require different approaches; or do you just want a phone OS to be lazily scaled up to a tablet? Im sure that a lot or most of the elements of honeycomb will be seen on phones but don't expect all. Besides that, its just names and both are made from the same core.

Ah-hem. iOS.

makes sense as it appears that there is going to be separate software for the tablets and the phones, a principal that i agree with. Tougher on dev's i would imagine but better for consumers which in the end with more adoption potentially would be a larger install base

You do realize that iOS is why I said that, right? Who wants another phone OS scaled up to a tablet. It should take advantage of the form factor and hardware.

they need to make a bigger jump. these little jumps from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 to 2.4 are retarded. causes even more defragmentation. Should wait and add more functions and upgrades to it, and release them at least 1-2 years apart. Whats the point of updating the ui without actually making it faster and adding some more functions to it.

Have you tried gingerbread? I get better battery life speed is much improved easily go through a day with heavy use
I can't imagine getting an update every 2 years or even 1 fragmentation ia only occurring because manufactures are to lazy to update and take their time google doesn't have hardware limitations so it can be updated like the g1 it runs froyo well

SDK ports are garbage. Anyone who actually wastes time working on them is not all that smart. Nuff said. BTW, when are people gonna stop promoting for r2, getting tired of constantly seeing a new thread about him and his work.

I'm really not seeing the point in this port.

Agreed. Honeycomb is not meant for phones, period.... Will people stop wasting their time on something that is pretty much pointless? This is like shoe horning an elephant into a stroller... Why bother?

Who are you guys to say how the devs are spending their time? It has absolutely nothing to do with you. Everyone here besides them just sits back and waits for them to bust their ass and put out. Regardless of if I do flash this or not, I think its rad that they're trying. To each his own.

Some people enjoy having an extremely large resolution, like me for instance. I would love to see this fully functional, as I usually change my density to a rather large resolution so as to make things smaller and have more screen space.
I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it

If you read my threads and ask the devs, you will find that I set up bounties, and donate unlike most freeloaders on these forums. And I help some devs test their roms/kernels. My opinion is based on a desire to have our phone be a really cool dev platform but not go in directions where devs try their best to please 4 or 5 ill informed people and then give up. That would just lead to disenchanted devs. I don't think most of us want that...
By the way, I have an iphone, and will be getting a webOs tablet too. You know why? Because its pointless to be faithful to one thing when you can learn from many... Monogamy is meant to be practiced with a spouse, not a gadget... I'm not a fan of any. Just a shameless user of all.

Adjusting the DPI is a personal preference and doesn't change the overall resolution. In my opinion our screens don't really benefit it because the overall size and resolution is small.
A device like the Tab which is scaled like a cellphone screen benefits from the DPI adjustment since it has a much greater screen resolution.
Dell Streak is a fine example of why DPI adjustment isn't needed. Things just aren't right because of the 480x800 screen.

Next Up?

Hey Guys,
First off to everyone that has left or is on a leave, thanks for what you did.
Now, I am looking for some POSITIVE news. I did read that Rob decided to stick with an Epic (love that, Rob is awesome). What else is coming down the pipe? Everyone thinks CM7 will never come, I know its getting worked on, I have tried it, and hope that comes through. What is Bonsai or Viper up to? They both do awesome work. Any new devs out there cookin up some goodies?
I guess I am sick of the looking back, and want to know what you all are looking forward to?
This phone rocks! I just got 42 hrs battery life with the ebay 3500 using SFR and the EE03 Modem. I cant upgrade for a while, so I am going to like this phone.
Thanks for reading and, and I am interested to hear what you all are looking forward to.
PS - we know Z-Man the puzzle lock screen. Which I heard is rolling out...

Bonsai....
Thats basically it.

You know, even though ACS (or ICN) is gone, it doesn't mean this community has depleted. We lost two amazing devs (k0nane and mysteryemotionz), but that should not bring us down! In fact, I bet you if a bunch of the other devs like Rob and Mammon and marcusant, etc. all were to make a new team, I'm sure we could make some pretty sick ROMs. And remember, we still have CM7 in the works by nullghost, DevinXtreme, Dameon, awesome kernels by thomasskull and DRockstar...so just remember, this community still has tons of potential left.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

My two cents - I dont get people and the "oh, what do I do now?" thing. k0nane and Mystery did some great work, but dont leave it up to other people to do the stuff you want done. I spent a lot of time working with a developer learning linux, and how to compile and tweak kernels, because I wanted to make my own(and understand what I was doing). I spent a lot of time chatting with a themer because I wanted to make my own theme. If you want something done, stop waiting for someone else, and get out there and start learning.

so what happened to viper team. the last rom was pretty sick and i really like the viper pad it works very well when you are using the samsung dock and everytime you go to do something else the music would stop playing thur the usb

Anybody else feel like the OG Epic was under-appreciated?

It just occurs to me on such a regular basis, that when I pick my phone up, it's a perfect example of engineered quality. I wouldn't change anything about this phone. It's seriously perfect.
My only problem now is that I just get bored with things and probably am getting thirsty for a new, sleeker model. But seriously, does anybody feel like the SPH-D700 didn't get the glory it deserved?

I find the hardware to be quite good (although by the standards of today, I wouldn't mind a faster processor), but I find the software to be buggy and incomplete at best (EVEN EL30), which is sad considering how many chances that they had to make this a good device. Stuff like the GPS and other assorted issues makes me really shake my head in disappointment with Samsung.

Ive been saying that since I bought it.

Everywhere I go people still compliment and ask what phone is that. I don't know how much longer I will have this phone but I'm also not countig the days down unlike when I had my POS moment.
Just the fact that this phone was released q3 of 2010 and is not EOL yet despite the Epic touch release says a lot.

Considering it was supposed to be a Bada device, I think the devs had to get to the Android party late. I'd expect that translating the software to the hardware was the original issue but it seems to be more under control and may have lead to extended life for the device.

It was much faster than the evo. I loved my Epic. Perhaps the lack of froyo and gb is what made the Epic so much fun. Literally the only thing I would've changed is the responsiveness of the captivate buttons.

yep
ditto to what all have said...no real reason to trade it in....

Does everyone remember the youtube video poll for which one would be advertised for this phone to be "epic" it was then and still is now IMO. Pretty kewl that no else thought of it

Still loving mine as well. It's my perfect companion on the road for navigation, e-mailing photos of damaged freight to the dispatch office, contacting consignees while keeping company phone (Nextel 2-way) open, and keeping me occupied during layovers.
The dev teams here have put out some awesome ROMs as well. I'll be loading up CleanGB EL30 BML tonight to give it a shot.
