Video of Nexus S Android 2.4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrAjgYDx7yU
Here is the video of the Nexus S running android 2.4 at CES.
Cannot see any immediate differences, I hear it is just a build full of hotfixes or something...

They had the NS at CES? And why are they not speaking English
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

well that was pointless
wish they showed more

there is not enough evidence there for anything except that they are using a Nexus S. if you believe that video than you have to believe that im using android 7.1

get with the program guys, 7.1 is Peach Cobbler

The video is real, many sites have it reported that many manufacturers had Android 2.4 running on several devices there.

Also look at the baseband version they are running there. It is newer than ours ...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Anyone notice the i9023 baseband?
edit: /\ that guy did.

OK that video is in German. The woman in the video says that the nexus is ready to be sold and that it is not shure yet which carrier will get it. Price will be somewhere between 500 and 550€, like the sgs. It is also not clear if it will get a samoled or a slcd, she said.
I think the vid is legit, she seems to be from Samsung or something like that...

Could it be that its just a specific version of 2.3 made for German NS? Similar to the Motorolla Droid's having custom versions of 2.1/2.2? I've read a lot of rumors on 2.4 but nothing seriously confirmed. I can't imagine the UI would be that different from 2.3-2.4, but then again I didn't think that there would be such drastic difference from 2.2-2.3.
I've read alot on every android website possible concerning these rumors, and nobody really has anything solid other than alternate baseband numbers and pictures of the Xperia and NS running 2.4

In Sweden it will be called I9023. (Stated by Samsung)
How will it differ, SW/HW wise apart from the SLCD screen, will be intresting. (Prob only SW)

The new Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc spotted with 2.4
Apparently there are few UI changes.. like new animations with icons being deleted off screen. A lot of things that weren't in 2.3 will be in 2.4.

my understanding is that it will included some features that should have been in 2.3 but didnt make it in. for example a new music player and new gtalk

when is the OTA expected to come?

Hasn't even been announced yet, so I doubt anyone even has a clue But I imagine it may launch/be released about the same time as Honeycomb is fully announced, so maybe end of January/early Feb.

I read somewhere that 2.4 is mostly going to be gingerbread with just updates. More or less how Moto Droid started with 2.0 then moved to 2.1, still eclair but it included updates and what not.

Now that jb(jelly bean) is officialy announced...

JB is announced... It seems to improve performance a lot, so Xperia Play will run it better than ICS...
any one dares to make a port (please)?

Will Jellybean be available officially from Sony for the Xperia Play ?

Our play has been ditched by Sony

google announced jb today so it can take about 1 Jear until Sony says something about it.

EDIT: Also, it says Jellybean supports BRAIL ?
How would that be possible?

Did google say anything about the source code yet? Did cyanogenmod made a statement?

Hahaha even Google is trolling with our xperia play

It's not about running it better than ICS, it's about game compatibility with the touchpads and the overall gaming experience compared to Gingerbread.
Hence why they didn't update to ICS in the first place, It's extremely unlikely that we will get Jelly Bean or anything else as a matter of fact tbh. The only way we can get Jelly Bean is by porting but gaming will always be a problem with roms from ICS onwards.

Don't waste your breath. There are tons of threads started about ICS and people try telling them that it has to do with the gaming aspect, not the specs. They won't listen.

I agree that there's so many useless threads which have been created over and over again with people moaning even though its for their own good. Then they wonder why the get insulted and called noobs etc.
Plus some people on this forum are so ungrateful to what we devs give to them and just always complain, You can never win with some people hence why I stopped developing my ICS Rom further with constant posts saying touchpads aren't working blahblah..

Yeah, I would agree with your point, ICS performance-wise is no doubt far better than Gingerbread (not to mention Jelly Bean), but I don't see it in the last ICS Beta on my Xperia Play ... the reason being ... may be lack of good driver support, if there's no official driver support, and Sony just expect hack work from the XDA community can resolve this issue they are too cheap-skate ... no offends, I think the open-source initiative is pure good, but official support is crucial too ...

(discussion) Android 4.4 Kit kat.. What a bummer

The next version of android will be called kit kat and it will be version 4.4. What a bummer for key lime pie fans..
P. S. I love kit kat..
http://www.android.com/kitkat/
There's nothing about features yet, but we could see the new release next month. So lets start speculating.
I have one small worry though. 4.3 is expected in the coming weeks, and the Z1 goes live tomorrow, so we're now third in place for future updates. Kinda sucks don't you think?

Positive press for Nestle and Google
All because 5.0 is going to get them bad press again because its going to be too powerful rendering many devices unable to upgrade to it

"It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody."
Everybody hm...My guess is, that KK will be optimized more than we might expect. Obviously not everybody has a high end device. You CANNOT fully enjoy android 4.X on a low/mid spec phone. It gets the job done, but is nowhere near the experience you get on a high end phone. Hell, 4.X is often / laggy on quadcore phones with 2 gigs of ram. I believe that we can expect a big performance jump on every phone.
And i'd take KitKat over "key lime pie" everyday.

High-five brother :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
I was wondering the same thing. Google isn't looking to make Android for performance-driven devices only. The the sucky part is that OEMs aren't going to update older phones with the new software. Mainly because the hardware is outdated and not supported, like say a TI OMAP chipset and Tegra 2. I'm pretty sure Xperia S owners are going to start cribbing about this in a few months too. Bringing Android to everyone is a forward looking statement where new devices, both low-end and high-performance, will be able to run the OS smoothly.

I wouldnt be sure about that. Sale of mobile phones is on its best in the first five/six months, then it decreases. Mobile phones being over 1 year old are commonly taken as sold out and you hardly get it in any mobile network offer. For SONY and other brands those phones are not money-makers and no one will provide updates for them, its not cruelty its just economy. Another aspect is that if they do so i mean update older phones they will definitely lose some clients for new ones, its like im not going to but expensive new one cause there is no difference in buying cheaper: same software, apps, other features. Economy is a keyword for updates, most of older devices are capable of running newer software enough smoothly.

KitKat is all fine and dandy but without, I am sure, additional sources released by Sony (Ericsson) we will probably never get a JB kernel working and still retain full Xperia PLAY compatibility... then again I may be completely wrong and if I am someone correct me. I have stayed pretty much on GB for gaming. Either way, thanks for sharing... although I think this should go to the General forum.... anyways... thread on.

google says that they made the OS smaller and after so old devices that didn't get in the past update can now get update because they resolve many issues.

Well maybe 4.4 is for older phones but as you know the companies support they devices for a short period of time. So no KitKat for us...

True but they also stated those will need to be updated by either the carrier or the manufacturer of the device(s). As $ony long ago gave up on the PLAY, I think its incredibly unlikely we will see any support form Sony and or even source releases.
Still, it would be awesome if we can get it up and running, but dont forget the highest kernel we can sort of get working, is kernel 3.4.
Kitkat would be an even higher kernel number.

Google isn't even releasing KitKat for the Galaxy Nexus. Sony isn't going to do it either, and it would need hardware drivers from Qualcomm side too.
Why is this thread in the dev section?

is that true?

I think if the 3.4 Kernel is working it wont be difficult to get kitkat running. But as far there is no touch in 3.4

They abandoned it,yes.As far as i know,there are no new models build and everything that is floating around in shops are the last produced batches,not getting the update to Android 4 kinda sealed this assumption

I don't know if the X Play will ever get KitKat but Google introduced a new runtime called ART to replace Dalvik with KitKat, on my Nexus 4 it really improve the performance to a substantial amount, so maybe that will help as well.

Would be great if Sony would pay more attention to their old phones, specially because they cancelled the ics update so sudden.
But i don´t think this will happen.

And that's one reason I won't buy Sony again.

we will get 4.4, not official but we will get it.
once i got a play i will work on it, otherwise we will have an other dev.

so? is there anyone working on kitkat roms for xPlay? or its abandoned at all?

By the looks of it, KitKat is out of reach for our device, theres barely any 4.1 or 4.2 jellybean roms functioning, what makes you think we will get 4.4 any time soon? Our Play is best optimised for GB due to performance issues as ICS+ isn't 100% functional on our play. Don't believe me? try any ics rom out and sooner or later you will find out that games will lag and memory will tend to be low. Sorry but this is the bottom line for our xperia play.

Legacyxperia (mostly mike) is working to get gully working 3.4 kernel. Than we wpuld be able to boot kitkat.

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.
