New Galaxy S II Models

I've read that there could possibly be a 1.4GHz S II, an NFC S II and a Tegra 2 S II. If there's gonna be a load of other models could this hamper external development for the current S II? If a newer version is released for the US then i guess all development will be on that version and hardware differences could mean incompatibility with the current model. What do you think? Here's a link to an article on the rumoured 1.4GHz S II.
http://www.gsmarena.com/the_galaxy_s_ii_cpu_might_be_boosted_up_to_14ghz-news-2824.php

There are already Tegra 2 Models with a lesser quality screen.
NFC models were announced from the very beginning but no one has yet to see one, they are believed to be thicker. We have reason to believe that the NFC chips are actually present in all of our phones but are software disabled.
As for the 1.4ghz model, this is just pure rumour and speculation based on the industry expects samsung to do something to compete with the iphone 5. If the rumours turn out to be true then all they need is a firmware update to overclock our phones, it won't be a whole new model, more a new batch with latest firmware. I don't expect there to be a 1.4 model though, its not needed.

Can this thread be closed by a moderator as there is already a thread with the same subject matter as this one.

I hope that's the case. I can't find in depth details about the Tegra 2 model just speculation. Do you know the model number?

There's no Tegra 2 yet, and probably won't be at all.

The age old LCD screen quality is probably HIGHER than unproven sAmoled+. The screen technology is different, and screen contrast and saturation are "subpar" comparing to SAmoled+.

Amazon review says US unlocked phones won't be getting ICS.

I have no idea about the validity of this. I ordered the very phone that this review is for. Any thoughts?
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TREU...eless&cdThread=Tx1ZKNEJXC5OB01#wasThisHelpful

As long as it is indeed a n7000 u can get the official rom updates here and the awsome roms from the devs. I am using a german note with hk rom and getting hk rom updates via kies . No problem at all.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

That review is not correct.
I just received that exact phone last week, from Amazon. Each Galaxy Note has a region code to indicate where it came from (Mine was from the UAE). This code can be changed to any region you want. This will allow for a stock upgrade to ICS, when it comes out.
Also, just like the previous poster said, you can root and put any rom you want on your Note.
I am running the stock ICS beta, from January. For me, it is awesome. I am running at 213 DPI which gives me the tablet mode look.

I'm sorry, did you say a stock ICS beta from January? For Note? From Samsung? Or did you mean the trial build of CM9?

So you believe misinformation from an Amazon review, but don't believe the people in the forum where you posted asking if it were true? Makes sense.

Most devs go to the Amazon review page so everyone knows the truth about phone updates

So you neither discredit nor credit what is posted on xda and Amazon reviews nor do you place credibility on the opinions or facts of those places above what you personally believe which is based off the things you read which may or may not have any significant validity as to its claims, which is still eclipsed by the fact that you take everything with "a grain of salt" that is on the internet, which is the place you have come to with a question seeking an answer.
I think you should meet with an authority figure who you can't discredit, in person (to eliminate the internet factor), so you can get the facts.
I know the perfect person, he can be found in a mirror.
P.S. stay free

It'll get updated to ICS. Don't worry. But it will be layered with TouchWiz. In this year, Samsung will not be stupid enough to cut the cord on a 3 month old device. That would be pure suicide. The PR nightmare.

Basically true. My conclusions is derived from all the information I've gathered with consideration of credibility of the various sources.

Official ICS & JELLY BEAN discussion/speculation thread

Mod edit:No offence intended to the original OP but this thread has strayed far from it's original purpose.
So from here on out, it's now the focal point for all ICS-related discussion and all the spam that accompanies that.​
Mod edit #2:This is now also the official discussion speculation thread for Jelly Bean.
Given there hasn't been an official ICS release yet, I see no reason to have two speculation threads on the go at the same time.​
-Step666
Edit #3: ICS Has officially been released in the UK and developers have already made roms for it. Please go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1053 for Latest information about ICS ROMs.

Cool! I think they've had this for a while but have just updated it with more carriers, T-mobile used to say "more information comming".
Obviously this isn't a concrete date but the fact that they've gone to the effort of giving us an update on the progress atleast suggests that they do in fact intend to give us the update eventually.
Now we just wait...

Sorry, that's been around for months. And it says nothing. I don't get why people title threads like this just to get people to click and find out that *surprise* they don't know anything we don't...

Candian ICS
Question is: can't we (Europeans) use the Canadian ICS on our common GT-P7510? As long as it is the simple WiFi-model, the hardware should be the same, or do Canadian Tabs include different hardware parts than European? Ergo should the software be compatible, as long as there are no carriers involved... does someone have the Canadian ICS as stand-alone software package? I downloaded Kies from the Canadian Samsung-Website, but it didn't found any update for my tab

cant wait till ICS drops

According to this you Canadians are holding out on us

Razr M

Ok.... Two questions about the new Razr M just announced:
1) Do you have to get the developer edition to use rooting, advanced features, etc.? Or will there be an XDA way?
2) Does VZW usually ship phones that are pre-ordered the day they are announced, or beforehand?

Someone will have the standard version rooted.
Developer Edition will allow full customization though which would be nice.

Can you elaborate on full customization? Do you mean without the developer edition, no custom roms?

Developer edition will have unlockable bootloader which would allow for more customization than what you could do with the standard edition. What we can do on our Razrs (standard) will probably be the same as what we'll be able to do on the Razr M. Dev edition would allow for more customization I think better kernel customizations, more custom roms, downgrading versions (which from what i understand is not possible now due to lack of unlockable bootloader)

So the current razr bootloader can't be unlocked? And no ROMs are available?

Interresting thread, I am looking to replace my HTC Desire S and this Razr M looks like the perfect upgrade.
All I need is official MIUI JB support
I guess this should be done by itself if the phone is easly unlockable.
The specs are just so nice, small design, big screen, no cheap plastic, dual core...

Moto Razer the new dev editions well be fully capable of every little thing from voodo and dual dualig with source and full unlock boot loader I mean look at samsungs phones the international ones way to big ..posted and regular development like crazy.. look at the moto every hates them so bad cause they lock down like fort Knox but now its shock and awe ... the xiaomi m2 is still better

Looking at the security on the Atrix HD and the HTC One X that is a rather bold claim that it will 100% be rooted. I would not say to expect root on any device from now on unless the bootloader is unlockable.

What is the point of Moto having a bootloader unlock tool if it only works on dev editions?

I think saying that it WILL be rooting is being highly optimistic. They should not buy a retail and expect root. Why bother developing a root exploit anyway, when people who want it could have gotten the Developer Edition instead

If you are on contract you can definitely buy one, however it is full retail price. It certainly could be rooted, but I think not to hold your breath.

After 2400 + posts, I think you should be able to answer some of these questions on your own. But seeing that I am bored, I pre-ordered and received the phone by the 13th (the released date.)
Seeing that the phone has only been released for two days, I would not expect the normal edition to be hacked yet. There aren't even any custom ROM for the dev edition either.
"What WILL be available on the RAZR mod wise?" Blender, coffee maker, Pez dispenser, and transformation abilities into the iPhone pending Apple litigation.

HTC One Google Edition coming (stock android)

It isnt any leak he has he is just speculating.

There are absolutely no plans for an HTC One Google Edition (IOW an official HTC One with vanilla Android). This rumor started with the HTC developer advocate who used a poor choice of words.
What she meant is that there will be an update for the One with a much more minimal Sense experience that should appeal more to those who like a vanilla experience.

I saw that. I still have my doubts. HTC is a bit more closed than samsung and sony. I'm not saying its bad, i love the phone, but its the truth. Samsung is becoming more closed though. Sony is awesome with AOSP
And hey, if they do, then all the better

Alright, so basically the evidence behind this rumor is one guy while HTC itself full out denies it. This is pretty much full-on tinfoil, or, at best, boiled leather.

I think next version of Sense with 4.2.2 or 4.3? will be awesome and very close to AOSP/Stock Google ROMs. Coming from two Nexus devices I really enjoy Sense 5!
