I just signed up for galaxy nexus & it asked what carrier I put sprint & they said they will send me notice on my Gmail when available!! I guess if enuff people on sprint want the phone they will make it happen my guess it will come out some time next year just like nexus s which cane out like 5 months after it did on T-Mobile but buy then the galaxy s3 will be on its way & everyone knows spec wise its going to trounce the nexus!! But I like pure asop & no bloat timely updates ect.ect. decision decision :p
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Samsung said TouchWiz was to be "less intrusive" on the GS3, meaning faster updates and easier AOSP ports. I'm going with GS3 lol.
[Epic 4G General] droidhackzor:
The fact that sprint isn't due to roll out their 4glte till 2012 doesn't mean that they wouldn't have an lte "capable" phone on their network though, the wise thing for them to do would be accept the lte version and just explicitly say that until the network is operational it will run on the 3G network, it's not like they haven't done a similarly meaningless brainteaser with the nexus s 4g. Not everyone is going to have Wimax coverage so in most cases its still a 3G phone. Just saying it would be wise for them and incidentally it would get us the beast of galaxy nexus :-)

Even if Sammy gets its act together (which is still not a given) then there is the bottleneck called Sprint...

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

We may not know it but Sprint may already be testing Prime with a WiMax radio. Due to Verizon exclusivity on Prime and rumored release in late November, it wasn't likely to be released on Sprint this year with or without LTE radio.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Yeah, it'e going to become less a ui and more a control for the fact that they put out more advanced hardware in the Galaxy line.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
I think you give Sprint too much credit for intelligence.

These are the same people that threw the Epic 4G under the bus and released the Nexus S 6 months late (4g or not, it came 6 months later).
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
My friend and I had a big debate between Apple and Android. One thing I do agree with him on is that Apple controls the IOS updates and releases them out, even to older phones up to 3 years old. The only phone that is remotely similar to Apple's iPhones in terms of OS update support is the Nexus line, where the updates are released by Google directly and the phones get updated almost immediately and for at least a few years (enough time in your 2 year contract time frame). I think I will be getting a Galaxy Nexus because for the 20 months I will have to keep the phone, at least I know it will get updated right away during the 20 month time frame.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
The problem with this comparison is Apple dumbs down their updates, and won't bring new features to their old phones. Essentially, Apple only is providing security updates, something most Android manufacturers already do. I mean, look at the iPhone 3G, it doesn't have multitasking.

However, Android brings new features to every phone that gets updated. No features are held back.... providing a phone gets the update. All the 1.6 phones that got 2.0 got the Driving Navigation. The iPhone 4 isn't even getting Siri even though it's more than capable as hackers demonstrated.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Still though it hurts to see the iPhone 3GS which was released in June of 2009 getting iOS 5, 2 years and 4 months after it was released. Apple doesn't make money by releasing OS updates, but they're smart in customer loyalty by at least giving the illusion that they continue to support the phones for at least 2 years after you buy it, just in time for a 2 year upgrade cycle. When the consumer is happy they are supported for at least 2 years, they are likely more inclined to buy your product again.

With the last few Nexus phones, they seem to follow a 2 year OS update cycle, so many of the Nexus 1 owners are now up to their 2 year upgrade cycle as well, since the phone was released in January 2012, just about the time the Galaxy Nexus comes here in our country and at least they have been updated to GB, so they can buy a new Nexus with ICS.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The original iPhone got iOS5...but then again Apple is controlling threw hardware and software. If Android was.closed choice it would be a while new ball game.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Exactly, and that is why the PC is still beating the crap out of the Mac in sales is the open source and you don't need PC's don't need Apple's approval for everything.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yes, that's why android and pc exponentially grew like crazy. You saturate the market with your software, your bound to be number one.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
I still can't wait for the Galaxy Nexus to come to Sprint......BUT if the Galaxy Note comes to Sprint (and in white) I may have to consider looking at that, if it gets ICS.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Samsung announced Galaxy SII, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab to get ICS.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Original iPhone got OS5? Link?
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
WRONG.

The original iPhone was cut off at iOS 3. It never got 4 or 5. The iPhone 3G was cut off at iOS4.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well then why did that fragmentation chart show that it had the latest software?
[Epic 4G General] oyeman:
Just because it's in a chart doesn't make it true.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
The chart shows up to 3 years after released it got OS updates. OS updates stopped for it after 3 years. So from June 2007 to June 2010, it had the latest OS updates. Support ended for it right after June 2010.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

The chart was misleading in a lot of ways. None of the sites ever should have published it verbatim.

The author conveniently chose to end it after 3 years. And he never mentioned that the OS "updates" were limited in features.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Ahh I hate websites, except for the one I work for :)

[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Yeah that was posted in the Rumor thread. It's amazing the tech that's coming out and will be coming out soon. One person even stated in the thread about possible having wrap-around armband phones in the future. That would be awesome.

Paper thin phones reminds me of the movie Ultraviolet when a cell phone could be bought from a bending machine. It was made out of paper and folded into a phone.
[Epic 4G General] kenfly:
So these bendable phones, Do they have bendable boards as well? Just a thought......

And back to the original post topic, Does anyone care a lot about the phone being a Pentile rather than Real-Stripe? Does it really look worse than the SGSII? Because this may make or break my buying decision between the two....
[Epic 4G General] dexterboy1106:
Interesting

No Epic Touch 4g even mentioned.

[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Um, if you notice Samsung hasn't said anything at all about wat phones are to be upgraded to ICS, tthats why.

Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes they did. Samsung Italy said Galaxy Tabs, Galaxy S II, Nexus S, and Galaxy Note was all that was mentioned. Others are iffy.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
That doesn't include Epic Touch 4g.

Samsung said the Galaxy S would get Gingerbread and yet the Epic hasn't.....

I'm staying far away from the Epic Touch 4g.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Epic Touch 4G is Galaxy S II so yes it does include that one. Also Samsung said the Epic would get Gingerbread and I believe Samsung has delivered that. It is Sprint holding up the OTA if you are to believe that a magic phone got EI22 from Sprint. Also the only Galaxy S phones still without GB are the ones loaded with Touchwiz. Obviously that added some difficulty. The HTC Thunderbolt just got GB...again! And it is still messed up.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
When Samsung says "Galaxy S" or "Galaxy S II" they only mean the Galaxy S or Galaxy S II and not all the other phones derived from them. The Galaxy S did get Gingerbread. The Epic is not the Galaxy S. It is in the Galaxy S series of phones, but it is not the same.

I know we all hear Galaxy S and think "my phone is a Galaxy S phone, I should be included," but we have to stop hearing what we want to hear and hear what they are actually saying. When they say "the Epic is getting an upgrade" or "all Galaxy S phones are getting an upgrade" then it would be an official announcement. As it is, there has been no such announcement.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Mehh is awesome and I h at e swype
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Uhhh...yeah there was. All Galaxy S series phones are getting GB. And all GSII are getting ICS.
[Epic 4G General] Killasmoke:
The only way the galaxy nexus comes to sprint is if enuff people want it so if you guys want the phone go to the galaxy nexus site & sign up they list 7 different carriers Verizon getting it no matter what but if not enuff people on sprint want it then why would they make it for sprint so sign up if want it! :)

I'm at the point of considering it to the level of SPH-D700, which is really, really what you end up hearing.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Seriously...it was Samsung Italy! They were talking about the international versions only. Not the Usa devices. Notice they didn't say anything about the Nexus S 4G or how the Note was included even though it is only available in EU
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
HTC mentioned updating the Nexus One to ICS, and it was overshadowed by Google saying no, that it won't get updated to ICS. Going off that, I doubt Samsung would have a say for the Nexus S 4g. But, I agree with you on the Note part.

There's not true...did you even read the article? It links back to the same Samsung Italy post I was talking about, not Korea.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Well since you have been a fountain of misinformation lately...LOL...I will see if I can link other articles for you this weekend since your bosses tell you nothing these days...LOL. So far to date Samsung has not promiesed any upgrades to only certain geographical locations or specific models within a series. And before someone says it, yes it is still coming to the Epic and the Verizon and ATT versions.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Its still possible. Sprint doesn't announce new phones via the Playbook, like some sites apparently think. So, the fact that it wasn't in Wednesdays Playbook doesn't mean we won't get it before Christmas.

This. We won't know until a few days beforehand. I personally think Sprint won't get it till LTE hits a few markets, but we'll see.

Until it explicitly says Epic 4G Touch, you have to assume it won't!

You're inferring things that are different than what is actually written.
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
The epic touch 4g is getting Ics. Samsung is part of the update alliance. Anything released after may of this year will receive updates for at least 18 months. We don't have to wait for a formal announcement to know this.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It has already been said in dozens of articles that the Epic Touch will get ICS however just like the Epic with Touchwiz it will take a lot longer...so let it go.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
You don't have to read anything, the Epic 4G Touch is getting it no matter what, because of the 18 month policy.

[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
So you're saying if I go buy an ET4G today, somewhere in the contract or on the box it says I'll receive upgrades for 18 months? Can I sue them if I don't?

If so I'll buy it full price in a heartbeat.

It's not a legal contract otherwise. Just a bunch of hopes and promises.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Actually I believe it is Google's new policy that Android phones be supported and updated to the best of their ability for 18 months. But we would rather you do us all a favor and buy an iphone.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
He has an absolute legitimate point. Can you point me to anywhere where they describe this policy in an official manner? Last I heard about it was literally 7 months ago when Engadget posted this:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-clarifies-18-month-android-upgrade-program-details-far-f/

Which basically said that yea a bunch of carriers and OEM's were onboard, but no one exactly knew what onboard was. Also, "onboard" was so that the group could “create guidelines for how quickly Android devices will get updated after new platform releases.” So, where the hell are those guidelines now that its 7 months later??? I have seen NOTHING official since then.

[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
I got a new phone in yesterday and after starting up, I immediately rooted and installed Hashcode's tweaked version of Koush's Bootstrap Recovery. I did a Nandroid backup and everything went smoothly. However, I went on to flash Dark Droid and everything worked great, but after clicking "Bootstrap Recovery" after flashing (as I read that one should after flashing a new ROM), I received the following error:

Failure

/data/data/com.hashcode.droid3.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh

[Permission denied]

Any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
Check superuser it looks like it did not get su permission.
[Motorola Droid 3] neilrl79:
i had some issues like that, it was solved by updateing busybox then su. worth a shot anyway.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
I checked SU and the Bootstrapper definitely has SU permissions. I also updated SU, but to no avail.

Anyone else? :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
did you check busybox?
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
I'm not very familiar with how Busybox works or how to "check" it. Could you teach me?

Edit: So I know there is some version of Busybox installed on my phone (doesn't psouza's one-click root automatically install it?), but I went ahead and donwloaded the Busybox installer from the Market and installed the latest version. Still not working. I even removed permission from SU in order to regain permission but that also didn't work.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Bump...still can't figure it out. Thank you again in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Hello Lyxdeslic,

Have you tried Koush's stock Droid 3 Bootstrap? I'm curious if his apk would also have the same error.

I've seen a total of 2 users describe the issues that you're seeing. And 1 case was fixed, but never was explained how to me, the other issue was never resolved.

The 1st reply has it correct. The issue is that the Bootstrap "thinks" it has SU permissions, but it doesn't. And I'm 100% sure it has to do with the upgrade of Superuser.apk tho for 99% of users, all of it works seemlessly.

I apologize for not being able to provide much help :/
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
My friend, no need to apologize at all. I appreciate the response, as I was considering PMing you but I didn't want to be a bother considering you probably get tons of PMs a day.

However, I uninstalled your tweaked Bootstrap this morning (also deleted data prior) and reinstalled it, and permissions were re-granted and it works now. I just realized that this did indeed happen after SU binaries were updated. All seems to be working well now.

One last quick question; after re-installing, if I boot into Recovery mode...will your Bootstrap still recognize and find the Nandroid backup on my SD card, which was also created with your Bootstrap during the first installation? I don't have my phone on me at the moment and I forgot to test.

Thanks again for the support. Kudos to you.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
uninstall bootstrap and try the new safestrap
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
The Safestrap isn't to be used with ROMs other than CM7 Alpha and the stock MotoBlur ROM, if I'm not mistaken.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
It let to enter in the recovery, and is enough for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Ok, right...but why would you want to enter recovery in case of a bootloop when you can't flash the ROM you want to to restore your system? I mean yea Hashcode did create the MotoBlur ROM compatible with Safestrap only but still. Both options (safestrap and bootstrap) are needed, in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
I think that trying yourself is better than theorize...

They are two different sw created for different purposes, but those purposes are overlapping on the part that counts: booting in to recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Correct. They both get you into recovery...but he wants to flash a ROM other than CM or stock. Which Safestrap has no use for. He needs a bootstrap, no ifs ands or buts. Safestrap is of no use to him.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
This is what is needed to flash a rom (whatever rom), to do a nandroid backup and so on.

Period.

If you don't use a safestrap enabled rom just don't use the related feature
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Safestrap is different in the way that it flashed roms. So. There.

OP:

You can install safestrap (after uninstalling whatever recovery app you had before) and hold tight until later tonight or tomorrow when I update DarkDroid with safestrap compatibility.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Listen, I'm used to talk just when I'm sure about things.

Right now I've installed a rom starting with safestrap, and works perfectly.

So why don't try yourself instead of posting guesses as facts ?

lol, ok buddy.

Sprint Will Be Getting The Galaxy Nexus.

With out a doubt Sprint will be getting the new nexus phone as all the main wireless company's in the US will be. There are two models HSPA models will go to T-mobile and AT&T and the LTE models will be on Verizon and Sprint, anyone to think otherwise wouldn't be smart to think sprint has already does this in the past with the Nexus S 4G while it advertised it being the first and only usable NFC Compatible phone but nobody in theory could actually use the NFC feature of the phone until they had updated it to version 2.3.7 and gave u Google Wallet and Google Shopper. Sprint has stated that they are going to be very aggressive setting up LTE in 2012 to try to be on par with Verizon somewhat with 4G so its all makes sense if u really think about it..
