You think manufactures would still be fighting a couple months before launch?
This phone has probably been out in google development for the past 6 months.
That being said the specs have probably constantly been improving

I hope it is Samsung but until its out????

Don't see how HTC, LG, etc can compete against Samsung hardware wise.

Hmm.. i like.. now waiting what would be the final spec of Prime. Firmware wise, I'm not too concern as it's google phone. But more concern on it's hardware. Will it trash S2 or upcoming ip5 based on hardware?

I think hardware wise,it will not be very different from SGSII.But we may see a better display
I think samsung has edge over htc and LG in terms of hardware manufacturing and also samsung has great and efficient distribution and retail chain that can deliver phone even in remotest area of earth

Soon to be nexus s owner..

As the title implies, I will be acquiring a nexus s soon. I currently have an epic 4g I'm trading even to this girl that hates touchscreens lol
Anywho, I love my epic. I'm sure ill love the nexus s also. I was hoping to get some input as to where this community is at the developing stage. What some of you guys are most excited about, and what kind of performance and experience you guys are getting from your modded nexus'.
Cheers!

Welcome buddy. Pretty much the development is great. Just about every rom here is straight aosp and has no issues lol. Just make sure u read before flashing because not all roms are nexus s and nexus s 4g compatible.

I was wondering about that lol. I noticed there are 2 development forums now for both the GSM and cdma versions so it should be relatively easy. I just have to translate what I know from the epic to the ns4g as I'm sure they're somewhat similar when it comes to flashing them.

I doubt I will lol like I said I love this phone. The keyboard is awesome. But I'd rather give it up for a thinner phone I can put a case on and it won't feel like my old HTC tytn2. Also I'm sure the ns4g will be getting ice cream sandwich relatively quick. Also, where's cyonogen mod at with cm7 on the ns4g?

Cm7 is at nightly 95 for the past few days. Someone hacked something. I forget what but hasn't got anew nightly. However it's very stable.

CM7 is super stable and is at a code freeze so only small bug fixes are being made. The website for the Linux kernel source was hacked and until that has been verified no files were harmed no new nightlies can be compiled. Nightly 95 is the latest and is awesome.

So you are getting it good I love mine been developing for it the day I bought it and its much more stable modded than galaxy phones when you begin hacking away at it.

Memory is 512mb. Some of that 512 is allocated to the GPU for performance.

Are you sure its the GPS that has issues or is it the compass? There is a known issue with the compass on the Nexus S. Not sure when it'll be addressed, but Samsung/Google are definitely aware.

There is already a nightly for the international version so probably in few days / weeks a nightly will hit our version, I hope..

Is anybody even working on a CM9? I think it will take quite some time as the cpu and antenna is different on the US version since it uses LTE and all developers seem to concentrate on the international version only.

that's two drivers that have to change. porting it from the internation version shouldn't be hard. I'm staying with this buggy unofficial version on my EVOLTE cause I can't stand Sense or TouchWiz

I might stay stock until jellybean comes out, and I have a feeling our guys will do a pretty good port on it.

try this for now, if it's gui stuff
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746427

I believe CM has already announced that as soon as Jelly Bean source is out (since they're already at RC status with CM9), they will stop development on CM9 and go forward with CM10.
From the CM Google+ page: Our goal is to release a stable CM 9.0.0 (and any needed .1’s). After that, we will work on CM7 and CM10 only. As stated above, CM9 devices are highly likely to get CM10, so maintaining a separate class of devices for CM9 only is inefficient.
Now back to the original post: I also miss CM9. I think CM9 is far superior to TouchWizz. Once CM9/10 is released for my GS3, I'm rooting and switching.
I will also likely never buy anything but a Nexus phone in the future, and in some ways, regret not purchasing one this time. The only saving grace is that buying a Nexus and switching to a T-Mobile Value plan would have only saved me $5 per month due to my grandfathered plan, so it's actually cheaper in the long run for me to get the GS3 on contract.

In my opinion, the galaxy s3 is way better than the nexus, even with the nexus running jelly bean.

Sadly I think I agree with pig vomit. I miss my captivate running pure ics.
Can't wait for some Jelly Bean hotness. I'd certainly settle for pure ics for now

By the time they release a CM10 for our phone the next Nexus will be out. Rumor has it Google will introduce 5 Nexus models this year. Let's hope that's true. I learned that with Android phones if you really want good rom development you need a Nexus or wait for months on end for a decent rom like CM.

Yep, same here. While Touchwiz isn't my favourite, I can definitely manage using it for another month or two until CM10 is released. At that point, I don't think I can wait for Samsung's ridiculously slow updates to make its way to me.

LG optimus g or Samsung galaxy note 2

The LG optimus g with android 4.2 and the Samsung galaxy note 2 will be coming to sprint and at&t. Now I'm confused as to what to upgrade to lol too much awesome phones to choose from.
What are you guys and girls upgrading to when your contract is up? Or are going to leave sprint?

I wouldn't let 4.2 sway you, it's expected to be a pretty minor release as I understand it.

Im liking the Galaxy Note 2,not much as far as development yet,but its a new phone,soo i'm almost possitive theres gonna be some great things to come for the Note 2.Aside from the great ammenities it already posseses.Plus i like the 5.3" screen and the stylus.

Yea Im thinking the same thing but at the LG optimus g is going to be a nexus phone and its going to have stock jelly bean right out of the box. And I think it a lil bit faster than the note 2 and It looks better.

Any idea when it will be released tho? Wanna get the optimus G myself.. looks so slick and sexy and the specs are just insane!

The Note 2 is also going to have JB out of the box, and all the cool things it does makes it a remarkable device. Enough to overcome the size of the phone, which to me, is a plus. I like a bigger screen

I'm leaning note2 myself. Not a huge lg fan at all. I've thought about sgs3 but why take a 4 month old phone over a newer faster handset.
XDA Moderator

The only thing making want to go to the SG3 is that I can afford it right now. That Wirefly deal is sweet. It'll be sometime next year before the note 2 is as affordable on wirefly and by then, I'll be able to just buy it and sell the SG3

Not completely shore but Google will be announcing it and some other devices I think the 25 of this month
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda app-developers app

I really like the note 2 more because it has way more software features than the LG, but I like the LG because it looks really nice and the screen.

Sprint already announced the note2 it will be released sometime this month or next. Its supposed to be available on all carriers by the end of Oct but it may be first of Nov for some carriers. You can check the specs for sprints variant on sprint.com

Moto X will skip 4.3 and go directly to 4.4

https://plus.google.com/+PunitSoni/posts/LAKKMnEE6CQ
We are moving directly to 4.4. I dont like to discuss timing. It just puts a lot of stress on the team, and there is always a chance we find something which delays us a bit.
Rest assured, we are on it. You have seen the speed with which we are moving as a Google company, that shall continue.

I'm somewhat optimistic about it because they were relatively prompt in sending out an update for the camera. Not their fault that some of the carriers dragged ass.

They have broken the applications apart from the os and put them in the play store. Consistently updated their applications. Reached out to the developers in the community for suggestions. Have addressed a new concern of mine with the announcement of skipping 4.3. Saying that they haven't done anything is a bit of a stretch.

I went from an OG Droid (amazing, started my love for android), Droid 2 (meh), Droid 3 (meh), Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S4, now the Moto X. I kind of feel the way I did about the OG Droid with the Moto X. If Moto keeps pushing out quality phones like the X, with fairly timely updates, I'm going to stick with them. Hopefully Google and Motorola don't let us down

This is great news... May keep from buying a nexus 5....but I'm still gonna handle one just to see it and see how it performs and feels. I've been very pleased with my moto X though, more than I have with any other device.

i dont mind this at all.
i mean i don't get caught up in the version numbers per se, but the features.
i honestly am not really sure what is so different about 4.2 and even 4.1 other than it hink some stuff in the settings bar is slightly different. 4.3 added trim support natively but from the anandtech review i know moto backported that to their version of 4.2.2. so that doesnt matter either.
4.4 at least i figure is a big enough jump. before the moto x i was using a razr M on 4.1.2 and honestly i can barely tell the difference OS wise between any of these (and i had 4.3 on a nexus 7 for a while, honestly all the jelly bean labeled 4.1-4.3 variants are basically the same)

Well besides trim it also adds opengl 3.0 support, which every currently retailing Nexus device supports.
