Yeah, so they all suffer our internal issue too! !
atleast it's a PURE Android by Google.
Not Samsung crap embedded.

Is this the Nexus S?

If true, I want it!

Meh, the only real issue is the GPS. And they could fix it by just redesigning the placement of the antenna. The lag is mainly caused by bad software.

think so too..and on some modems or firmwares GPS isn't that bad (or maybe it also depends on regions )

Awesome, this pretty much guarantees Gingerbread and beyond for our devices, and very very soon too!

Yes,
Please!!
No more custom ROM of Samsung firmware...
But a Custom ROM of Pure Android AOSP please.
Let's hope CM ROM will happen sooner than later.

I found this documet at Best Buy today. We could see the Nexus S end cap going up this weekend!

Now where is a download link to a Gingerbread ROM I can put on my Captivate?

Well the picture of the rear of the phone (battery cover off) looks very similar to the gti9000 so maybe they just sorted the drivers or something? We can only hope!

No RFS and I will buy.

Rumor has is pushing the new hummingbird 1.5 ghz dual core processor from sammy, the one they worked all summer on, I really wish the rumors are wrong so we can have a very easy port.

It has flash too.
I hope this means Samsung will still release for the Galaxy S, if not, I'm sure this forum will.

I'm so pre-ordering this.

Where did u read this?

I'm sure Samsung won't release Gingerbread for Galaxy S in near future.
The Galaxy S is bundled with Touchwiz and Samsung isn't going to change that. We have to wait.

Android update to HoneyComb?

Is this en-route to get Honeycomb? anyone ever ask the eLocity Support?
Edit: I managed to e-mail them since the support offices were closed. I'll post the response when I receive it.

Official answer you can find at their site...

Q: Can the A7 be upgraded to Honeycomb 3.0?
Due to hardware issues, it is not expected that the operating system of the A7 can be upgraded to Honeycomb.

Maybe on the next generation of them that they are working on. I don't see it being all to successful on the current model.

When do the next models come out, and will they still be 299?

Not sure when they come out. Hell, i still cant find a pre-order for the a10 that was suposedly going to be available for pre-order on the 15th.
Price is definitely going up though. I think there was some pricing covered in a thread on here a couple days ago.

If it would never released for eLocity A7 - who would blame?

i think honeycomb would be a bad experience without multi-touch.

I dont think so, the a7 has all it takes to run HC. If the nook can so can we, multi touch
shouldnt be the decideing factor for not haveing HC on or A7. At least we have a one touch option.

From what I've read and heard Honeycomb wont work with the A7. This came from the elocity folks in their Q&A. Don't flame me for what they have posted on their site.

Well that just isn't true at all. The Motorola Xoom is a Tegra 2 device and it is the first 'official' Honeycomb tablet.

Lol is true. There's a lot more than a camera different here. Ram digitizer screen Res etc.

It takes a lot more than one piece of hardware in common to be even similar, nevermind almost identical... just saying.

Edited....

It might be capable of handling Honeycomb 3.0, hopefully the devs can make the upgrade for Elocity A7. They did say it will be upgradable on A10, so cross your fingers and hope A7 gets one either to ginerbread or honeycomb.

oovoo and netflix

Is their anyway way we can get these apps on the transformer
Thanks in advance

Anyone had any luck with netflix
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using Tapatalk

ok apparently netflix needs to update its software to be compatible with the processor in the TF. theyre progressively going through and updating for android device compatibility

I heard that its a terga 2 issue, its a DRM issue

I think we just need to be patient about this.
And have faith

Is this a joke thread?
Where's the camera???

Not a tegra 2 issue. Works with Gtablet running cyanogen 7.3. Might be a tegra 2 plus honeycomb issue.

Thanks everyone for their reply. So with netflix we have to play the waiting game, sucks! and what about oovoo?

Because I have a Gtablet, which has tegra 2 processors which has been running netflix for over a month. It is using the Cyanogen mod firmware, which is based on Android 2.3, which is gingerbread, not honeycomb. Thus, it seems that there are people (me, myself and I) who have it working with tegra 2 on gingerbread, but not honeycomb. Thus, tegra 2 plus honeycomb = no go. Now, it might just be honeycomb = no go, but is most certainly is not tegra 2 = no go.

oh okaay understand you now, so its just a waiting game, and what do you think about oovoo? would it be the same as netflix a waiting game?

Have you emailed oovoo? I met the devs during SXSW and I made a few suggestions and they were added in an update over the next week.

The current roms work fairly well with a 2.6 kernel, so now we can have the real drivers, hopefully it will make things a bit more stable.

We're supposed to sell our Tabs an buy the Tab 2. Why would they release something to slow the sale of the Tab 2? I'm sure when the Tab 3 comes out with 4 cores and the number of Tabs being used drops to less than 3% they will release source with ICS. Of course nobody will be using ICS by then.

Did you read this in your head before you posted it? Have you taken the least amount of time to analyse it before posting?
1- AOSP agreement obligates anyone who releases an os based on android to relase the source code
2- As for the latest agreement, any provider is to ensure update for 18 months following the release
3- ICS was already annouced for the Tab 10.1
4- Only apple disciples sells their devices to get the "new one wich is almost the same but Apple says it's new so it's better", most of the consumers will try to get the most out of their devices and will not follow this line.

so that means camera working in ICS for G-Tab 10.1?

I you have read the posts from this topic you would see that we are still waiting for the release of source code.
Until then most probably there will be no camera support.

Captivate Glide ICS leak

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831561 captivate glide ics leak is out.
finally an official ics version for a tegra 2 phone.so this proves ics is coming to tegra 2. The other thing is some of our developers may be able to use those drivers.
yesss!!!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

Probably won't help, it uses a newer version of the kernel and we don't have a 3.X kernel for the Atrix.

yes..it seems it wont help..but this gives hope for our official update
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

I don't know if it's a kernel module or built-in.
But if it's built-in we need the sources. That means leaks won't help us we have to wait for an official release of the kernel-source.

When it comes to drivers, the kernel doesnt always mean a whole lot. If that phone is the same variant of Tegra 2 used in the Atrix, there's a good chance its drivers could be used.

From what I understand, the only reason the Mimosa drivers couldn't be used is because it was for a different kernel version. We don't have a 3.X kernel, so any drivers made for a 3.X kernel probably aren't going to work for us, unless someone wants to port Moto's changes in 2.6 up to a 3.1 kernel, I guess.

The Mimosa drivers couldnt be used because the Tegra 2 variant in that one was the AP25. The Atrix is AP20H. The kernel had nothing to do with it.

Where did you find this? The hwlibs in the system dump from that device suggest it is an AP20H with a higher clockspeed.

i think we dont have developers.. Really hard decompiling kernel and modding things , add extra things and recompiling kernel again?

Captivate Glide has the same Tegra 2, AP20H, so this leak should help.
I posted it in two threads but I didn't see any response from devs.

I'm having difficulty finding the thread, but its been discussed here on XDA before. Maybe you'll have better luck with search than I did. But the AP25 does have a higher clock speed than the AP20H.
