Haven't they already stated the the nexus one doesn't gave the hardware for the update?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/26/nexus-one-denied-ice-cream-sandwich-becomes-official-relic-of-a/
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I believe that is also correct.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah. Sprint has been good to me and their data hasn't ever lagged enough for me to complain. So I will stick with unlimited data and cheaper plans.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I feel the same way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoob4eva:
We'll get ICS via CM8 so I'm not really concerned what Moto has to say. I am running CM7 right now and since I don't have 4g in my area it's a great choice.

Battery life might be a bit shorter, but I am sure that if we get more devs helping cybik and working on CM8 once its ready, we'll need no more from Motorola.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Nothing to work on. ICS isn't even out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
Just an fyi, it will be CM9 since cm8 was going to be used for honeycomb and that never went open source.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah, Honeycomb kinda does suck in that respect. (Being close source)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
in most parts of Florida where I go, Sprint 3G data sucks, average speeds 100 kbps for a 3G speeds?

Before when I used to go to the sprint store, they used to say "You have 30 days to return the phone if you don't like" now they don't even mention return, they have a paper on the desk with the new 14 days return. Now I am stock with sprint for another 2 years without any of the premium benefits that I used to have for 7 years + $10 for premium data at 100Kbps.

Let me say, the Mopho is the best phone in sprint, no questions! but sprint sucks!!!

they used to take care their costumers! no any more!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Draiko:
Not having any data speed issues with Sprint and I travel all over FL.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
Come on!!! if 100 kbps is not a issue! is ok. for me it is a big problem bc for what I am paying I expect better service. At least I know with the Mopho I have at least better speeds.

Do you call that speed a 3g?

I get that speed in my prepaid $30 Tmobile in edge.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
That is since it is in a different network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Draiko:
Do you have a sprint phone or a t-mobile prepaid?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
I have sprint and I have the T-Mobile prepaid $30 from walmart, I want to try before, I want to see the coverage and let me tell you, it is better than sprint for that money. I am not lying.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
I am using google voice and I have the two phones to ring and receive text at the same time and I have more missed calls and late texts in the sprint phone. It is sad and I am paying two times the price.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Draiko:
Every carrier has weak areas. I can't live with throttled or capped data. I'd rather deal with slower speeds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bluphi1914:
Capped data, if its 2 to 5GB, you wouldn't use that much in a month anyhow. So why not deal with thAT, AND HAVE BETTER SERVICE?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
What do you do with unlimited data if you cannot use the way you want. While sprint only is showing a degradation of service , I see companies like T-Mobile, metropcs getting better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I had tmo and i loath edge. Thats all i picked up. 4g was sweet when i traveled. With sprint i get 3g everywhere. Its a no brainer. Im what you might call a poweruser.

FYI. On the Motorola support forums they are seeking 200 testers for the electrify...ics in my opinion. Since the electrify and photon are basicly the same phone maybe this gives you some hope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
They all ready did this with the Photon. So I doubt it. It was the the latest OTA update. But one can hope
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I feel that way, myself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Draiko:
Because I don't want to worry about how much I use. I get enough speed to use my phone the way I want. Sprint's roadmap is excellent, their prices are excellent, and their spectrum holdings will allow them to keep unlimited data going for quite some time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I agree. The speed isn't poor enough for me to want capped data.

Google the photon source code. When you find it practice by building it. Then resync the google source and include ics. Try building ics for the emulator. Then attempt ics for photon.

Motorola Android Software Upgrade News

Photon 4G conspicuous by its absence on this page:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades?view=overview

Candidates for ICS updates include only the RAZR, XOOM & Bionic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
It hasn't been 6 weeks yet, so that is the same thing we knew before
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
It is still way too early to tell if the Photon will or will not get the ICS update. Lets worry about this when the Bionic, Rezound, Razr begin to get their ICS updates which isn't until Q1 2012. My feeling is that the Photon will get at least the ICS update but not sure about the next version of Android after this.

Sprint won't release another Motorola 4G device until next June when LTE should start rolling out. There is no use of pumping out another Motorola Wimax device when they are going to LTE. Since it is only 1 device that Sprint has to support, I don't see a reason why Sprint wouldn't do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
We will have ics if moto doesnt we will. As long as the zoom and bionic get it we can piece together something
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Unfortunately, I plan to only unlock my bootloader if the 4G capability can be maintained. I wonder how that progress is going.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I havnt had time to dig thru everyline cfg database etc for wimax. Ill get to it soon enough but i also have many many projects and very little time. If you want to help dd a stock system image and pm me a link.

Edit. Make sure you wipe then reboot and connect to wimax. Then dd the data as well
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Is this the reason why we haven't gotten at least a early alpha?

I've looked at all these source files and its like me trying to speak Chinese to someone who speaks Spanish...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I think the reason is because no one tried. Except cybik...
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Right, its hard to get things done when virtually 2 people are doing all the work....
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Alot more than 2
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Well the 2 active ones as far as I know. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
From what I understand Moto is still planning bootloader unlocks for various devices through December. So Photon may still get an official bootloader unlock if Sprint agrees. Is this correct for am I missing something?
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
I don't see why Sprint, won't agree. Didn't they agree to all the Evo Unlocks?
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
they never even unlocked the shift's bootloader for some reason
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
I wonder if the bootloader unlock will apply to all Moto's, some cell companies may not like it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryuken11221:
well we gotta look at it from a companies point of view they want to protect there interest plus they need to see how much it would cost them just to get the upgrade to

What are CM7 and 8?
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
CM is CyanogenMod, a third party ROM available for many phones.

7 and 8 refers to the version which correlates to a major release of Google source.

cm7 is based on 2.3/gingerbread

cm8 would be 3.x/honeycomb

cheers,
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
ics will be cm9 not cm8.

they are skipping 8 to keep the numbering aligned with the major releases.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jason.hamilton:
I was thinking about what ICS would look like on our phones.

I understand how the 3 buttons work for the galaxy nexus. There are no 4 buttons like on every other android phone to navigate. How will our phone get the update and what will it look like?

(when i say softkeys, i am referring to the 4 standard keys on android phones. I dont care if it is not the right term)

Will they just ignore the softkey buttons on our phones and put the three from ICS on the phone? This will really reduce usable screen size.

Will Samsung do away with the three buttons from ICS on phones that have the soft key buttons?

Will manufacturers have to make 2 versions of ICS? One for phones with softkeys and one for phones without?

Do you think that new phones coming out with ICS will have softkeys that are similar to the galaxy nexus on screen keys, or will they make all future phones like the nexus with no softkeys and just on screen keys?

I guess it all comes down to how Samsung wants to skin it. What do you think they will do with phones with the 4 standard keys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] striketrue:
I assume ICS will have an option built-in to disable software buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
It's more likely that ICS programs will just have to be more device aware than programs have been previously. All Gingerbread programs can be expected to work, and the softkey area will just display the standard keys. ICS enabled programs will need to support the standard keys (home, back, menu), or, in the case that a program is running on a native ICS phone (with the softkey screen area), the program will be able to dictate what shows up in that screen area, whether it be a modified keyset, or an extension of the program itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I am sure they have it figured since I read that the older nexus s will be the FIRST to get it as far as older phones go and I believe it has the three/ or four softkeys on it right? So if that is the case I am not too worried about it not working on our devices as I would BET it is planned in the grand scheme of things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p4ranoid4ndroid:
people are getting way to hung up on these ICS soft keys. If the Nexus S is getting ICS, Im sure that any phone that has capacitive keys will have the on screen keys disabled. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
Why would Google go with on-screen keys? Whats the benefit? What happens to those that want to use 3.5 - 4.0 inches screen. How would that work. To me its a step backwards. Hopefully manufacturers will keep the soft keys we came to love about android, no ugly menu button on the screen like iOS completely ruining you screen real-estate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datboycuong:
I am more then sure that Google has already thought of how to get around all these issues when ICS was placed in development.

Remember the Nexus One & Nexus S (S 4G) all have four buttons on the phone as well. Google wouldn't release a new OS version and cripple every phone out there with 4 buttons.

Process for getting a new sticky on XDA:

Identify a need for something specific

Identify the most relevant sub-forum for this need

Make a kick-ass thread that engages and informs readers, including thorough and current information presented in a concise and easy to read format

Based on the activity in the thread decide whether or not you should ask for it to be stickied

Wait patiently

I'm not a mod, or a wanna be mod. I'm not chastising or trolling. If you want a sticky thread the fastest way to get it is make it yourself. Make it awesome and you just might get it stickied.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
^^^^This

good rules for getting a sticky. we wont create a special sticky for you. you need to create the thread, get community support, then we sticky.

Hey!

My Phone: Desire GSM with up to date Aurora Rom and 0.75 Bootloader.

2.5.0.7 ClockworkMod Recovery. S-ON!

Newest Radio.

I got some memory issues and want to flash the HBoot with AlphaRev.

So first i need to "update" my bootloader to 0.93. I couldnt find a way to do so!

I tried to install the latest WWE and the latest HTC_European RUU once normal and via fastboot... both fail with Error 131.

I dont know how to get away from the old bootloader... i'm frustrated ;)#

The RUU always says i'm on 1.15.x. I dont know what this means...

Another question: a the moment i'm also not able to update the ClockworkMod via RomManager or Droid Explorer. Is this because my security is still ON?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
go to my guide, create a goldcard first (link to tutorial there too) and then flash the latest WWE RUU from the link on my guide

Also it's best to change recovery via fastboot, and to completely cut out 3rd party apps like rom manager because they just cause issues. Flash roms and backup through recovery manually and everything else from fastboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunner2002:
It's a Goldcard and already tried the RUU from your guide...

Maybe my SD Card isnt able to act as goldcard... going to try another one

report in a few minutes ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Didn't someone say alpharev works on .75? No need to change bootloader? Try that instead of revolutionary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunner2002:
tried alpharev...

booted from CD. Everything fine... on step 3 of 3, 5 errors or something like appeared and a command line with somethink like "te:box$" appeared and nothing more happend. After ten minutes i just restartet my phone (very risky i know ;)) and it was still S-ON.

i thought i have to update my bootloader... but if anyone knows this failure pls tell me a solution! because creating a new goldcard with one android phone isnt that easy if you cant restore with an unrooted RUU :D

*edit*

seems also to be a goldcard failure :/

none of my sd cards is able to be a goldcard... sucks!

[EVO 4G General] CrackedTech:
Ok, I only recently started having this problem but it has persisted across two ROMs and three wipes.

Several times an hour OpenFeint will popup onscreen unbidden with the screen that asks me to disable it or enable it. This happens even when I'm not playing a game and even when the phone is sitting on my desk and locked; I'll pick it up, unlock it and the screen will already be up waiting.

As I said I've used two different ROMs, first Swagged Out-Stock (Swag-On) and the latest version of MikG. I wiped Swagged and reloaded it only to have the problem again and then switched to MikG and still have it. I do have a handful of OF enabled games installed.

I've tried everything I can think of to stop this; deleted the OF folder, opened OF from a game and chose Remove Account from this Device and even used closeFeint (app I found on XDA) all for nothing. I've looked all over for a file tied to it and have used different task apps, autorun apps and the built-in battery monitor to try and track it down but no luck.

Has any one else run into this or can any one offer any help on how I might get rid of it? I know that I can remove all OF related games but I do play them (and have paid for one) and would like to keep them if at all possible.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:

what are other disadvantages?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:

I use NoLed from market and it works great!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
A non-stock kernel usually improves battery.

However, based on reading the BLN sources and talking to some people, BLN on the I9100 has the same problems it had when I tried to implement it on the I777 - a permanent wakelock while the LED is on, which IS bad for battery life.
