Nexus S got ICS after 2.3.6 update...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
You need xiaomi phone and we need give up the samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaXmax:
Its ok, why would need a s****y touchwiz? It doesnt look good when Galaxy S2 has the first leaked... It was awful! Why would we need their update when we have great devs? I know some of you want it clean (no root, no mod, no hack)... So doesnt matter...

Very, very, VERY disappointed with Samsung, this an March 2010 highend phone and still, its workable... Able to play high end games...

"The update schedule for these models will be released later"

that mean for other samsung devices
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
Stop taking things out of context!

It clearly means the models mentioned in the previous paragraph, stop holding on to false hope, there won't be any official ICS for the i9000 PERIOD.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cornario:
There will absolutely be know official ICS for I9000. I read the Samsung statement somewhere today. But who need their messy touchwiz anyway :P

I just hope they release the driver and let our ROM maker do the awesome work like always :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] olyloh6696:

HTC a useless too. My Desire S was only released in March 2011, and not even a year old yet, its not getting ICS ...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TigerCourage:
No idea, but it has to be true. Samsung will not abandon i9001 and i9003 just after releasing them! There's no logic in that...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] olyloh6696:
Also the Galaxy W which is new 1.4Ghz device.

However, I checked your source with other threads, but unfortunately, they all say its unreliable !

I'm still waiting for an official announcment if Galaxy S Plus or Galaxy S will be supported.

I need to buy a new phone and i'm not spending 370€ on a phone that will not be upgradable.

If there is no upgrade, i'll go Windows Phone 7 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
This is completely false.

Just someone paraphrasing the original press release and stirring up hits to their site.

Morons.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Can anyone retreive the official announcment about GB? From what I can recall, they annouced it just before releasing it (if they did)

IMHO: I'm already runing ICS, so I don't realy care but I'd realy like the samsungs apps for camera, media player, etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
What a cop out.

The Nexus S has the same specification and that's getting it, Samsung are just full of crap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] patrcost:
I read the same on a dutch forum...

I do wonder if the ICS is really the best solution for the sgs.

I do use a port on my sgs but it's not always as fluent as I would like.

Buying a new phone just to be able to run the ICS is a bridge too far(so far :rolleyes:)

Before I will keep on testing the rom with different kernels and oc...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
Well, not really a cop out. They are right, in a sense.

The Nexus S doesn't run TouchWiz or have any carrier bloatware. Thats why the RAM must be enough.

However, they can do the right thing and go along the lines HTC did with one of their lines in order for it to run Gingerbread. They shaved Sense in order for it to work.

I couldn't care less for touchwiz. And I could care less for any carrier bloatware.

They need to rectify this. Samsung has now completely lost me as a future customer, nexus or otherwise. I'll wait til whatever the future nexus is. I hope its back to HTC or some other brand. Samsung won't see another cent from me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Galaxy Nexus is horrible too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] patrcost:
What is the problem with the nexus?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jenablinsky:
Galaxy Nexus? Horrible?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
My point exactly, they annouces it just before releasing it.

Announcment made in May 16th that they'd release it in "Mid May"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Yes it is just horrible.

Most important thing for me look now

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lesiroth:
So I take it they won't be updating the Galaxy S Plus, which came out last summer, or the Galaxy W, which also came out very recently to ICS? They both have 512MB of RAM and a weaker GPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Here are the facts.

Samung has officially announced ics for a number of phones. (This announcement does not mention the i9000 or any of its closely related "cousins" )

There is nothing else. Everything else is just pure speculation. There is no official statement saying anything other than that. There is nothing said about i9000 getting or not getting ICS. What are you getting so worked up for? Why do you even ask? Those who know can't tell you, and even if they would tell, you can't separate those who knows from those who only think they do anyway before an official statement has been done...

Time will tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] senotrius:
as long as there's cyanogen mod why worry..samsung most probably won't release update.however its worth mentioning that they have until now released the latest gb roms.2.3.6.compared to other manufacturers that's good.(yes I'm aware of 2.3.7)..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kraven001:
Because CM doesn't take videos in 720p and the FM radio kinda sux and all other "small" issues, that's why many ppl were hoping from something that was samsung released.

The community can do as much with what they have and since I don't see Samsung releasing any proprietary drivers we will get something that partially works as of dev releases (at least we can hope we can update and give up camera / FM radio and other of these small trinkets attached to the phone via DEV support sometime when this phone becomes obsolete and we will use it only as a phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MooMetal:

Hey guys. I'm using thr latest xron rom and netflix sound is not in sync and kinda laggy. Any fixes or is this a common issue?
[TouchPad General] mikehd1959:
It seems to depend on the user/hardware. I haven't seen the lag or synch issues on my TP running xron cm7.

How's your wifi speed?

I think netflix just updated the app as well.
[TouchPad General] majest09:
im having the same problem. so i went back to cm 7

I need to reassemble the firmware for my tablet (RK2918) with Ethernet service disabled by default because it is hungry for power and starting automatically on every reboot. So I have to disable it via menu manually every time. Android 2.3.2

build.prop >> ro.ethernet.autoEnable=no

doesn't work at all or works from time to time until WiFi interface wouldn't be disabled.

Googled all over the world but unsuccessful :(

What could one modify to disable it?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jason_25:
Perhaps you could remove the kernel driver, the nameofdriver.ko file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 32bit:
Thank You, Jason! But there is only one wlan.ko

Indeed, there is no wired ethernet adapter in the tablet but I think that it's for support USB-Ethernet via USB-OTG port.

But it's provide a great power saving been disabled. Strange.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jason_25:
Maybe the driver is somehow included directly in the kernel.

In that case you could try to recompile the kernel which would be the hard way. Or the easy way would be to write a script that runs sometime during boot that runs:

ifconfig eth0 down

or

netcfg eth0 down

Substituting eth0 with whatever the name of your ethernet interface is. I know this will bring down the interface but I am not sure if it will shut it off at a hardware level. It is just a matter of finding the right opportunity at boot to run the script.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 32bit:
Thank You.

Yes, netcfg command works but only at logical level, the hardware didn't down.

[Wildfire General] radeon7:
Hello,

Sorry for my english

I have consulted on GSMArena and CDMA HTC Wildfire is upgradeable to Android 2.3 Gingerbread officially and this ron has sense!!

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire_cdma-3577.php

The difference between this phone and the "normal" version of Wildfire is that this works in CDMA does not work in GSM. I suppose that would be easily port this rom and might work without tweak anything. On the other hand the rest of the phone is the same as the "normal" version except the case:)

Has anyone thought of developing a port from a CDMA 2.3 rom version to normal?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I am pretty sure that is incorrect. It should be 2.2. Besides, have you managed to find the Base (i.e. - The Wildfire CDMA 2.3 Stock ROM) so that people can look at it?
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
When I got mine O2X I didn't take off screen protector. Today when I looked it seemed like it was scratched. How is it posible? Is it posible that the screen is also scratched? I'm afraid to take it off to check the screen.

edit: Is this gorilla glass screen really that scratch-proof for everything except sand, minerals and glass?
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Hi,

The screen's gorilla glass is really THAT good actually.. most people will say no need to use screen protector... but for myself.. I do use just for extra safety.. since even the best of them are quite cheap online.

The stock 'screen protector' is not really a screen protector.. its just a transparent sticker pasted for packaging protection. I doubt your screen is scratched, but you need to remove it to actually know.. ;)

I suggest if you are planning to buy a real screen protecter, buy those made with PET material (some even use PET from 3M), they are more durable and scratch resistant. Becareful with the terms...its sratch RESISTANT not scratch PROOF. Two different things. But it IS better.

Cheers! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Yes, the "stock screen protector" scratches easily…

…and No, i wouldn't expect any real scratches in the screen itself/the gorilla glass itself - it is most probably intact.

You can either ignore these small scratches in the plastic foil or get one more scratch resistant.:)

I also didn’t take of the protective foil – just lazy…;)

Now after 3 months of usage mine looks quite battered and I will replace it if I have a minute.:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] c.innovation:
I do not think everything is perfect in this world

gorilla glass can also be scratched, especially for small objects such as sharp sand

I suggest to you to always use additional security on your screen scratch resistant though, because some of my friends who use o2x also been scratched on the screen due to sand
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
You cannot injure the screen through a protector so rest assured there. Personally I always will use a screen protector. I don't feel right if my phone is "naked" so to speak, makes me uber paranoid.
[Motorola Droid X2] dkahs23:
Anyone here have a Xoom? And did you root it? And is it as easy as the x2 or a little more involved?
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
I've got one. Rooted and running Tiamat Moray 2.2.2.

As far as rooting goes, I don't know of a one click available for it although there may be. There wasn't at the time I rooted mine. When I rooted mine it was a matter of unlocking the Xoom, installing CWR via fastboot and then flashing a rooted stock rom using CWR to do it. That was quite a while ago though. I think there are ways to root without flashing a rom now but as far as I know, they all involve using ADB and fastboot. It's just a matter of typing commands. It's not hard though. Just follow instructions and you'll be fine.

I don't spend a lot of time in that forum now because I'm happy as can be with what I have now. Moray is a nice rom. Everything works and it's super smooth. However, the Moray rom is for Wi-Fi only and 3G devices. It doesn't support 4G at the moment. How you root it, what rom you put on it, etc., all depends on what kind of device you have so you have to pay attention when checking out the different things available. They all state which devices they support. I'd post links to what you need but I don't know just what it is you have so I'll just post a link to the Xoom developer forum. If you haven't been there yet, have a look. Everything you need to know, you'll find there. ;)

Ive currently got a Droid Pro and have loved it.

I just went to my local VZ store yesterday because my wife is thinking about leaving sprint. Ive been on a family plan for the last 10 years haha and if I want to start my own family plan VZ will honor my grandfathered unlimited data on the new plan. AND they will honor unlim 4G as well!

So im thinking between the Razr and the Nexus that just came out yesterday.

Pros I see with the Razr

both front/rear camera are better

has hdmi

has sd card

same 1.2 processor

and should be one of the first phones to get ICS

any cons that I should know about?

How do you like your phone? How long have you had it?

Thanks everyone!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
battery life during the first couple of days are bad. If you use it in very lite light areas with the screen playing something dimly lit you can see some splotches. seems like other bugs and complaints vary on how you use it. I absolutely love it. I will probably play with the galaxy nexus this weekend, but really would have to be blown out of water to trade it in.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Owned it 3weeks now. I want to sleep with it every night.

Unlock screen itself just make me happy. Like Steve jobs goal on ipad,it makes you want to use it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dco717:
I love it but i hate it im only getting around 3-4 hours out of a use and as a college student that sucks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cryonicjason:
I have a launch optus Razr XT910 and i love it. Battery life is fantastic. Though the verizon model doesnt have good battery life apparently.

Some may find the size of the phone an issue, but after a couple of days i got used to it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomoooo:
Excellent phone, I am more than satisfied. Battery life is by me much better then on my previous htc desire.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dco717:
I can't live with the battery life it sucks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sreeman:
Battery life on mine is pretty sick. Averaging a full day no problem. Smart Actions help i guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] karib4:
I love the the razr, have had it about 3 weeks now. No issues with the screen and the battery is SO much better than my samsung fascinate! I went to check out the Gnex today. first at a verizon store, as I was holding it the security cord thing ripped the back right off. Then I checked it out again at the verizon kiosk in the mall, looked at the back and they had it TAPED on!! I asked if there was an issue with the back coming off (obviously there is, at least with the security device attached) and they played stupid... Other than that it seemed nice for sure, but didn't make me want to trade in. Although I was really digging the white razr;) Your wife would probably like it too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DivineRite:
The battery life sucks. I can't use 4g at all. The data dropping is enough to make me want to shove this phone down motorolas throat. Since I bought this phone at an authorized agent I can only exchange this phone back where I bought it.

Since I'm a trucker and currently out under a load I can't return the phone for something that works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TehWhale:
I'm really happy with my Razr. Although, I would probably get the nexus just because of Android 4.0 (if I had the chance, which I don't)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwang:
after owning sgs2(sold) and galaxy note(still owned) i don't think i can go back to samsung. razr built quality is exemplary compared to samsung.

it is a solid hardware, comparable to blackberry 9900 (which i also used). the only drawback is battery drain which is probably caused by an app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buckwheat.phd:
I didn't. Buttons are chintsy and often break or stick, body is the size of an S2/Infuse but screen is 35% smaller, batt not replaceable,went through a number of phone replacements in the 3 wks I had one etc. In the end, it's JAP just another low res phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keltai:
been using a mth plus, built Q is far superior den my previous S2 n note unless u like e plastic feel? so far asia unbranded set seems no problem compare to those branded telco set encounter.. luving it!!!;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Well so far im pretty much liking what i hear.

The battery life might be an issue. But im assuming with updates and once it gets ICS that it should help with battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] macman159:
no battery problem here

I don't know if it is just me, but I am getting great battery life thanks to juice defender. Use it, it helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwang:
just root it this afternoon, froze some stuff (there are a lot of background stuff running, no wonder battery is crap), will see what happens..should get better..

one thing is the battery level in 10%..should have been in 1% each..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Most stock roms don't render it in 1% increments.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
Unbranded GSM RAZR owner here... the phone's hardware is really nice. The build quality feels solid, and the buttons are fine after two weeks worth of use, despite complaints of them breaking quickly by others.

On the other hand... the stock ROM is kinda iffy. The RAZR's RIL likes to cause the Android phone subsystem to FC if the radio is booted in poor signal conditions, and the BLUR apps, such as the Gallery and Music Player, love to freeze, reset themselves and generally misbehave. OTOH, the BLUR contacts app and dialer are fine, Smart Actions and Mobile Hotspot work really well, and Motorola's modified browser is actually marginally faster than the ICS browser on the almost-identically stacked Galaxy Nexus. To be honest, the Gallery and Music Player issues can be almost overlooked, as there are better alternatives on the Market.

Flash is smooth as butter - it's a smoother experience than running it on your average Atom-powered nettop with XP, for sure. Streaming video is no issue, though like in other OMAP4-powered devices, 1080p streaming is a no-no, which may disappoint those looking to hook up over HDMI.

You're going to struggle with battery life for certain in the first few days. It's not going to last more than 8 or so hours on it's first few charges. It's fine after that, and Smart actions will help, especially if coupled with JuiceDefender. This is coming from a GSM user though. I've heard that the LTE radio really takes it's toll on the Droid RAZR.

Overall, this device is a tidy little package, and I'm really pleased with it. I just wish that the BLUR apps weren't so broken. Especially as the Music player sounds so good, it's really annoying at how unstable it is.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jamzor64:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] moemoney12:
I love this phone. Its slim and the battery life is excellent. The screen is beautiful.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
The device simply isn't able to cope. It stutters when I try to watch YouTube videos in 1080p.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evltwn72:
Just download circle battery widget from the market. It does 1% increments.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jgoose:
Is this due to slow 3G speeds? Or is the device, even though it is dual core, not able to process things that fast?

It's hard to imagine 4G or WIFI not able to keep up.
