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.

false. BGR confirmed the Galaxy 2 will be dual core. they SPECULATED that it MIGHT be their own version of the Nexus S, a la Nexus One/Desire. can't spell, can't read, you're doing pretty well for yourself.

lol i think they made a mistake there. should be 2014.
On a more serious note, I think the support for ASUS is much better than Samsung. I traded my SGT 7 + $100 cash for a transformer. SGT 7 was such a heavily marketed flagship device and yet there's no support for ICS. Really ridiculous. Luckily the SGT 7 has great devs but still, lots of work have to be done by them in order for ICS to work on SGT 7.

The day iPad3 hits the shelves I'll say goodbye to my transformer.

We really need more threads with no news.
Feb/March can still mean tomorrow.
It will be here when it does.
Asus (and other manufacturers) will probably eventually learn to not make any promises whatsoever. Then any updates will just be a surprise.
I have a TF101 and I really don't feel Asus is required to provide me with an ICS update. I hope they do, but I can hardly make demands based on random Facebook/Twitter/forum posts.

this is funny and clische why are they even posting release dates ? If you dont know, why post IT?

Seriously? You need to post another topic on this? Terrible..

Sigh.... Worst PR department ever.
Asus isn't doing a very good job of making me want to be a return customer...
When is that Google branded Next Gen tab coming out again?

Words can't describe how much I don't care about ICS on my TF.

Think of this from a marketing angle: If Asus releases ICS simultaneously for TF101 and TF201 they will sell way less TF201s. Of course they stretch it as far as possible.
Ironically I have ICS on my ancient HTC Hero. My LG Optimus 3D isn't getting ICS until Q3 2012. LG doesn't even fix a bug that makes the phone miss a lot of calls and SMSes.
You think Asus customer service sucks? try LG!

ICS for my ancient LG Swift is ready for me to install thanks to the folks that make CM7. I only have to find time to install it. I think I won't wait for ICS on TF101 by Asus too.

then why did you answer to this post
I care about ICS because i heard some saying it increases much the responsiveness and general performance for the TF101, and I really want to make my new TF101 better.

Samsung is pretty bad with updates. Asus is doing good. Samsung/att just released gingerbread to the infuse 4g about two weeks ago. It was buggy and made the touch screen unresponsive. I went back to froyo.

But the custom ROM scene seems quite good on Samsung, right? Open bootloader and all... I'm considering jumping ship to Samsung this year, but I'm a little afraid that new versions of Android won't be available for it. Maybe I'll have to wait for Nexus tablet...

LOL. And they said the update was only waiting approval from Google. Riiight.

I was looking into closing my old thread on the topic because of this guy, but now he started his own.
Ah well. Such is life.
Yes. Delays. It's not the end of the world. Jeez.

I didn't complain, but this isn't the first time they've delayed their self-announced updates. The first time... sure delays happen... but again? Screw them. They should hire paul Burton, he got ics working for us. It ain't perfect, but its leaps and bounds better than what Asus gave us by the end of 2011 as they promised.
Boo Asus.

[idle conversation] no more leaks so far...

Is anyone else becoming increasingly concerned there hasn't been many leaks?
By now I would have expected quite a few more leaks, but there hasn't even been a whisper of another one...

not at all, i would rather stick to a stable GB rom than use the buggy ics leaks
people seem to think ics is magically gonna transform the device...

ICS certainly transforms the device. Going back to Gingerbread from ICS makes you realize how inadequate the former is for such a wonderful device. ICS is silky smooth while Gingerbread feels like watching stop-motion photography. Livewings did such a good job ironing out some of the kinks in the ICS leak that it has become my everyday rom. You couldn't pay me to go back to Gingerbread.

+1 on this.
If you try a ICS build in your Note, and if you can flashe it without getting FC´s and some other errors, you never want to came back to GB again, because the speed and usability is just in another level.
I don't know why there is only one leaked ICS rom for the Note.
It's very strange when we see the SII with many leaked ICS roms and other devices too, but not the Note.
Is the ICS Rom for the Note the biggest secret Rom from Samsung?

The awesome thing is that all leaks are running at 1.2GHz CPU speed and the real one will use 1.4, so it will be even faster!

What is the relation between Gingerbread and ICS firmware for Note?! Who cares about GB?! I need stable ICS, I spit on this GB...

Since many devices already got the update, we won't see them as much now. Who knows, maybe the Note ICS update is around the corner as well.

it just means ics release is nearing.

Actually the note is already fabulous using GB,
so for me there is no need to hurry into buggy ICS ports.
But ppl who live and love to test, feel free and go ahead

Probably wont see much since focus switch to premium suite. I think thats why we havent seen any leaks.

Cant agree more!!
As always you said it all!! :beer:
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!

Personally I've found the relative regularity of frequency of Leaks to indicate solid Dev work..
I feel that the fact that we've had one buggy release, a blown out release date and now "promised' extras make me think that they're not getting much Dev done.
Its common practice to promise more when you've missed your promised release date, in an attempt to "curry favour" with the disaffected customers.

this looks promising, from same forum that leaked the last one

Official ICS Officially DeBlurred

Motorola ICS UI review: this isn't the Blur we used to know
Looks like the official ICS ROM will be mostly vanilla. With such a light touch and now being owned by Google, maybe they'll go full vanilla in the future.

I think yes. It's cheaper and easier to use the same code.

Consider we're talking about motorola. That UI is for OMAP devices and Atrix isn't equipped with OMAP. We'll see all together.

I doubt the UI will be different just because the processor is. With it so deblurred, you gotta wonder why they even bother redoing any part of it. They can just include the bloat they want as apps without messing with the framework. Maybe the carriers are insisting on crippling some features.

Code is written in high level programming language like C++.

Its the same case as why the Photon and Atrix got a different, uglier and sluggish Blur instead of the one that came with all the Motorola phones equipped with OMAP4 chips.
Heck, the ICS Blur we see on our Atrix might even be the original ugly Android4 blur that is available for download everywhere.

Agreed.
Heck the launcher on the initial Froyo builds was so much more faster!
And then the rest of the Motorola phones comes out, and guess what ? Atrix is suddenly sluggish? I mean seriously?

I actually complained about screen switching being TOO fast on the Froyo build lol... ooops.
GB update was weird for me, it worked GREAT for a long time, then it started getting buggy and sluggish, I factory reset it like 4 times with new blur accounts etc, and nothing helped, finally rom'd it the other day and couldn't be happier..
Got to figure out a solution for webtop though, I used that a LOT.

If reports are correct (that Webtop has been replaced with tablet mode plus some candy), then the only solution that is rational is to run a headless Linux disttro and RDC into it.
Even if all the bits of code needed to spin up X are opensource, it is going to be a huge pain for somebody to port it over to ICS. And some items (such as the kernel mod that mux's inputs to both X and 'droid) I do not beleive are avaiable.
Using an RDC aproach makes it is fairly easy to put a distro of your choice on the Atrix though, so that is a plus.
To me the question would be if I was to use a full screen RDC to an 'ux desktop, or just bring up a window to the app that I want. Really need to see how it all plays after we get the real Tegra drivers for ICS out.

[News] Insider confirms S2 won't get Android 1.6

Just read on galaxys2arsemonkey.com that a Samsung insider claims that there will not be an Android 1.6 release for the Galaxy S2.
Although this hasn't definitely been ruled out by Samsung, it's expected that there will be cries of derision from some S2 owners who want the Donut release to improve battery life, touch screen sensitivity and the disabling of the front camera when accessing Xhamster in case the phone starts taking photographs during inopportune times.
Others claim that Samsung are deliberately not releasing the aging OS version just to deliberately annoy the development scene when one of their ilk complained on a website that 0.0001% of their customer base read and thus causing a PR "**** storm" leading to posts of "**** Samsung".
Anyhoo, if anyone wants to repeat this post a few times in this forum, repeating this same bull**** information, please feel free. It's not like this hasn't been going on all day here.....
