Yep they did say most, not all devices. I am guessing thunderbolt will not fall into that most category.

If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
[Thunderbolt General] Angldvl81:
More like years at the rate it took gb to come.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I could be wrong on this, but I don't think its really up to Google on what non nexus phones get updates. Verizon probably won't update the tbolt because they want us to buy the latest and greatest.

Thank goodness for devs everywhere! Else I'd have an iPhone.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
it wont be Verizon either, they'll tell you it's up to the phone's manufacturer.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Yeah the carrier and OEM like to pass the blame off on each other to make themselves look better. To be honest, I doubt either would want to.

[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
The TB is a Froyo device, not GB.

We'll get upgraded to GB.... but the likeliness that we'll get upgraded (officially anyhow) to ICS is close to 0.

Of course, we'll mostly all be running some flavor of ICS the day after its available to the ROM developers :)
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
what this have to do with the thunderbolt tho...lol this phone not even on GB. I cant wait for the nexus so I can dump this phone like what htc and vzw is doing.
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
I don't understand the rush to dump the tbolt... It's not like its obsolete all of a sudden.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
Tell that HTC and Verizon.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Yea. Its annoying. On one hand Google makes them promise to provide upgrades for 18 months from launch of a phone. Then the providers are allowed to sit around and do nothing.
[Thunderbolt General] bigd5783:
I don't get alot of you. ICS will be on the Thunderbolt as soon as the devs have some time to port it over. Hell Im running GB on my old G1 and official developement stopped on that back at 1.6. If you are here more than likely you are running some sort of custom rom and will be able to upgrade to ICS. Most people that really care about the latest greatest software for their device are Rooting, flashing, and reflashing every couple of weeks to new builds. For those that say that the TB isn't a GB device the official GB rom released a long time ago. I wouldn't hold my breath on the official ICS builds but by god stop your *****ing about it. If its not already rooted with S-off get it done now. Root that ***** overclock and put some life back into that 8 month old device. If you really want to have the newest hardware you will be buying a new phone every 3 months. This was the first 4G LTE phone on Verizon and so far it has made me happy. I have been running CM7 on it since the early alpha days and by God I will run CM9 on it as soon as the alpha drops. I've never been scared to try new roms.
[Thunderbolt General] ANDR0lD:
Finally, someone who isn't *****ing about the "lack of support" for the thunderbolt...geeze...I mean everything devs make are better than the **** Verizon puts out anyway...oh and when Verizon DOES put something out everyone *****es about the bloatware... "Dont worry, be happy"- Bob Marley
[Thunderbolt General] mbreezy:
I wouldn't bank on Verizon to update it either, but deva will be cooking.

Verizon has no incentive to upgrade the software anyways, why would they? You already bought the device and they've your money :-)
[Thunderbolt General] Dameon45:
Root it. Customize it. Curb battery consumption. Get the latest for it. Been running gingerbread for like 3 months and this thing flies. ICS will be released in the sweetest of custom roms as soon as it officially drops so just hold tight. Verizon and Google will never update this ***** again, look what happened with the official gb? Released and pulled. They want their money and for you to update to fhe newest. They want you mad at them so you spend the outright cash. That's why i assume you're all a part of this amazing community. The customization and time that goes into cooking a rom is amazing and what can be ported and ran on these phones is insane. Ive come from the first Treos and every other god-awful windows mobile phone. Android is amazing and the developer community is very sharing. Make your phone the way you want it everyday so that you arent that retard *****ing about lag and freezes.

Donate and appreciate *****es.

Speak the truth brotha. Android for life
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
It'll get ICS...I promise*

*assuming you're running Cyanogen mod
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Google doesn't decide what phones WILL get any Android update.
[Thunderbolt General] turbosrrgood:
Unless I am missing something the writer of the blog likes to embellish...

To the best of my knowledge, google never "confirmed most gingerbread devices will receive ICS". They said that in theory any device running gingerbread should be able to run ICS...That is a gigantic difference.

As a matter of fact Google has nothing to do with what phones get what OS, so they would never be in a position to say that. The carriers and manufacturers are the ones that make those decisions.

Don't expect an OTA ICS upgrade, but who cares. I am sure our dev's will produce ICS roms when the source is available.

Hijack

Actually Bob Marley died a little more than 7 years before this song was released by Bobby McFarrin. The quote is from Meher Baba. Just for your 411. Now back to our regularly scheduled ICS post.

All hijacked persons were released unharmed.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
apparently, the Galaxy Nexus will be the only phone getting ICS this year. then it will be the Droid RAZR in January.. and others to follow.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Its not surprising. The providers take 1-2 months to test a new version, so simply looking at where we are on the calendar it is expected that other devices will officially start getting it sometime in early 2012.
[Thunderbolt General] mastabrozif:
Yeah except the Thunderbolt probably won't be one of those devices look how long it took us to get Gingerbread
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
Why can't there be a vendor that only sells quality pure android phones... I could care less if its a nexus. They would sell like hot cakes and updates would come in weeks rather than several months me thinks.
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
So you want your ROM infused with the powers of "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry? Scary.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
The vast majority of Verizon or Android users could care less about "pure android". This would only appeal to (some) users who like to tweak or root their phones.
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
If they don't care they should stop whining about getting updates then.

We all know it would be extremely easy to get updates if it wasnt for vendor skins.

I like sense but I am tired of the whiners and complainers.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
I think the ones complaining are part of the minority. The rest don't even realize that there is such a thing as pure android and they are happy with what they have from their provider or phone manufacturer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottx .:
She got her Infuse today and I quickly rooted it, wiped it and installed MIUI on it. She loves it.

Some pictures:

She sent her HTC Surround back saying it would overheat and cut off a lot. (And it did)

So she got the Infuse for free from AT&T because they wanted to make her a happy customer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Oh wow, your Infuse (and your wifes), look amazing, especially all decked out in MIUI.

Love your case also.

Also, thanks for adding another member to the Infuse team. :D!

For MIUI those icons look hella small >< The one thing I love about MIUI (other then customization) is the fact that it gives us big fat icons. Easy to click for those of us with fat thumbs!

[Off-topic] xaalfx:
So I just saw that Verizon has tiered their data plans. I am currently on their unlimited data plan and my contract is up in Dec of 2012 will I have to switch to one of their tiered packages when my contract is up? What if I choose to upgrade my device thus extending my contract? Will it stay the same?
[Off-topic] SteveG12543:
If you extend your contract, even if you get a 4G phone and add 4G into the contract, it'll still be unlimited. If you let your contact end and want to come back at a later time, its going to be tiered.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweezy108:
I was wondering if anyone knew if the Xoom was going to get the update to ice cream sandwich? Ive searched high and low on the net be i havent got any official conformation. Ive seen alot of sites saying "Of course it will, since the Motorola was just bought by google and since the Xoom was the first honeycomb tablet". That may sound good but that doesnt make it official. If anyone knows please let me know. Also if there is a link that has an official list, it would be nice to see.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-junkie:
My Google told me the Xoom will be the first tablet with Ice Cream Sandwich:

Motorola Xoom to get Ice Cream Sandwich

... but without an actual date...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trig0r:
It'll have ICS next year.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Is that link even reputable? I didn't see any sources.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
I hope the title makes sense? I currently use the task list use LorSoft

Edit: So sick of this 8 post limit cannot post outside URLs business:rolleyes: - is there exceptions for longtime lurkers:D

And it is great and it handles things well for the moment, but there are some things missing that I feel need addressing. Like for one the pull down notifications are just not up to scratch for a productivity tool. Meaning they are too easily forgotten about or cleared in amoungst the jargon of other notifications. I need toast and a persistent toast notification that won't clear unless say I check completed or something like that? The icons in this app, sorry to the developer are dismal, outdated and sorry but they are just plain crapola. Theres no capacity to change the theming of this app or icons for that matter. I was going to pull it appart and re-engineer it for those reasons alone just for my own satisfaction (not to re-distribute or "steel" the developers work)…but then I realised there are other features I would like to incorporate into the design/functionality that surpass what this app is.

What I would really like is a way of bringing this info "synch" to iCalendar (To-Do isn't really a "meetings" schedule or check in check out "availability" type app though?) or a tasklist XML within Gmail for users; enabling users to bring that information in as a feed for an iGoogle Gadget and if possible (even though it is retired now) bring a Gadget into Google Desktop.

I dare say my productivity would be improved with these functions. So far the LorSoft Tasklist App Widget is THE most used application onmy Android phone.

If anyone can recommend alternatives to what I am using that will fill the gaps (on the Android side of things at least) and/or the other side of things iCalendar/Gmail side of things and I can try and figure out how to feed the info into the other tools/gadgets for desktop iGoogle later.

Watching the Ice Cream Sandwich live presentation today was great seeing the calendar and its Gmail integration and sharing capability but it doesn't fullfill the task list or "TO-DO" type function that I need. Its great for visualisation…..but as you can possible sense by now opening the app or seeing what I need to do is the major issue LOL. I need toast…like IN YOUR FACE!

Any developers wana jump on board and brain storm with me on this feel free. I think uptake would be ginormous after seeing comments from Gadget requesters on Google already

I think I may have solved my own issue whilst trying to help someone else out?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiaws:
In almost every ROM are apps which are not really needed to run the phone.

I use Cyanogenmod and every Nightly comes with the same "safe to remove apps"... I'd like to stay uptodate with every nightly BUT i always get these not needed apps.

So I start removing them 1by1 with TitaniumBackup which takes time and sometimes I forget one or another app.

Is there a app which can remove apps that I can define in a list? How are you handle those barebones?

(I guess a good alternetive would be ADB or a terminal script)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
temesek has a script that you can flash, after flashing a CM7 ROM, to do this. You can adapt it to add the Apps that you usually remove. The script can be found in his mediafire folder. See here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18523875&postcount=20861

It's called System App Remover iirc

Edit: Personally i just use Root Explorer, and with W/R and Multi-Select enabled, i just run down the list in /System/App and delete all the ones i don't need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zephus:
Not sure if anyone is having this issue, but I'm trying to set my wifi sleep settings to "never when plugged in" and then when I check it in a few minutes, I discover it returned to "never". Even after rebooting the device and/or cycling the wifi seem to help.

Any takers?

Bump because this confound me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] verncat05:
I was looking at this last night because I thought mine might be staying on. I have mine set to turn off when the screen is turned off. I installed CpuSPy and verified that it was in fact off and the phone was going into deep sleep. I can say, though, that my setting doesn't change once I set it. I you running stock rom? Rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Please don't bump stuff after only 10 hours. Especially when you posted at 2 AM local time for a timezone-specific device (99% of users of this device live in the United States, since this is the AT&T version.) In general, please try to avoid bumping stuff.

My wifi sleep policy always seems to respect what I set. I do set mine to "never" though since the BCM4330's standby drain is ridiculously low and for active data transfer, wifi is FAR more power efficient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zephus:
sorry, it's just been bugging me all night last night and I posted in PDT. As got being routed, no I'm not. So what do you think it could be? It's still not respecting my setting, but I guess since the pre drain is fairly minimal as you say, I could ignore it. But I'd like as much juice as I can get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
Do you leave your wifi on 24/7? I thought i was seeing slightly more drain than with it off but maybe that was all mental

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smith2001:
Morning all

Just got my tab 10.1 yesterday, rooted and installed overcomes ROM this morning. For the life of me I cannot copy over any MKV files as i want to put my files on the damned thing. I've had a quick search through and it seems most people can do it somehow its just no one has given a fool proof way of doing it as far as i can see (i know i will be wrong there)

I have tried to use recovery usb mount but that just doesn't work and every time i use the mtp is just crashes windows explorer.

Please can someone tell me there is a way i can get my files onto my tablet?

any help is greatly received
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tivo7:
MTP crashes Explorer.exe? Thats really weird. Sounds like you have bad drivers. Uninstall and reinstall your Samsung drivers and try again.

Another option is to get the USB connector piece that allows you to connect and view the contents of a USB drive with a file manager app straight from the tablet.

One more option is Dropbox. Its a personal file sharing software that lets you see your files from any device with internet. Just drop the files from your computer into your dropbox folder and they will automatically upload online. You can then go to www.dropbox.com and sign in to see these files. Android devices have a Dropbox app, so you don't even have to open the browser, all your files are right there in a folder on your homescreen for you.

If you don't have a dropbox account, Click Here to Sign Up You get 2gigs of free storage space.

I should have said I renamed. The mkv in question was only 850mb and it crashes. However an mp4 of 1.4gb works fine. All be it it asks me to convert it first.

I'll try and remove the drivers and reinstall and see if that works when I finish work.

Does anyone else out there think ICS looks like complete ****? I watched the leaked nexus video on YouTube that was released a few days ago and the first thing that came to mind was omfg look how ****ty that looks. I know I know *puts on flame suit* . I just can't get over the fact that ICS is the best thing that they could come up with I mean we are talking about Google here, were some of the brightest minds in America go to work. I just don't know, what are your guys thoughts? I feel they could create something a little bit more appealing with better Widgets idk let me know what you guys think...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eclair~:
I absolutely love how ICS looks. I adore the understated look and smooth transitions. The sold solid colors and Metro inspired design-language looks just fine to me. It is disappointing that the design of Ice Cream Sandwich is receiving so much negativity.

At least Gizmodo agrees that is is beautiful, and maybe that will help calm others a bit.

[HTC Desire S] abunea:
Hi, I have just bought and configured my Desire S. The FB app seems to be working fine, except one issue. When trying to upload photos from the Gallery I get 2 kind of issues:

1. when selecting upload via FB app, it errors out and tells me that it cannot upload it.

2. when selecting upload via Sense, it starts the upload and when it reaches 5%, it falls down to 2%, then back to 5, back to 2, and so on.

I am from RO, using Cosmote mobile internet (not web'n'walk).

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] darkPrint:
same problem here

Hi,

I seem to have the same kind of problem with a French SGS from Orange, i can't upload 8MP photos to facebook, it does not progress, but it works with smaller sized pictures. Here is my phone info, you could share also yours to find similarities in version numbers. I am pretty sure it is a facebook app bug, cause I could send the photo through mail.

The facebook version i am using is 1.9.9, which one is yours?

I'll send a bug report (in "About" part of the app) to FB, you could do the same, the more we report this issue, the sooner it will be fixed.

A work aroud for now is to take 6MP photos, the upload succeeds on FB.

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] AdyJulian:
Error number 1 is a common one since the last facebook app update so you have to wait for an update from facebook to fix that. I also use Cosmote but not webnwalk because that service works awful and this should be the reason why you can't upload via Sense. Try using a Connect Mobile internet option and you won't have problems anymore. Test it via wifi to be sure if the internet connection is your problem.

EDIT: I noticed later that the first post is older. I hope my answer helps someone though.

Well according to various leaks in the past ICS does run on Linux kernel 3.0.1 .There'd even been a misplaced device that was spotted to be running ICS on the very kernel which was later pulled.
