I want it because the keyboard, the new voice to text feature, multitasking with the cards is really nice, gpu accelerated interface and apps, better battery life (not sure on that one), new UI is always good.

Besides debit cards being newer than paper checks, what are you really gaining? Tons of vehicle-operated food stands still dont use them. Besides portability and efficiency I don't even know what i'm really gaining. And if I have to lose one feature that my check writing has now, I'll pass. Checks work too good right now and the cute little kitty cat backgrounds that I have watermarked on my checks will hold me for a long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
A lot of the new stuff we can already do on our stock phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
No.

Android 3+ has true multi-core support and since that's not for phones, ics is the first version to have it for phones.

Same with gpu acceleration.

(ICS also takes hardware acceleration further than Honeycomb)

Those two items right there are more than enough to make ICS the biggest update to Android yet.

So, OP, respectively may I ask you educate yourself about ICS before post such a silly thread?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rem3Dy:
Do your research. Andy Rubin has already spoken on this. Full dual core support came before gingerbread. Full hardware acceleration came with honeycomb. Before you try to correct someone you should have your facts straight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Feel free to prove that Gingerbread has full multi-core support.

http://www.webscopia.com/2011/06/gingerbread-vs-honeycomb-features-pros-and-cons/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#3.x_Honeycomb

Because everything I've found, except the rumored "android 2.4 with dual core support" [THAT NEVER CAME], shows that Gingerbread doesn't.

Honeycomb and beyond does.

You're one of those people that hates mainstream. A band can be you favorite but when they hit mainstream you suddenly don't like them anymore.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
I'm more happy about what Ics means, cutting down fragmentation.

And it doesn't have better dual core support persay. Google just multi threaded more apps most notably the browser which suffers badly for being single thread in gb. Its also my understanding Google has made some security improvements. The multi threading is a big deal though, just compare Firefox to any other browser on say sunspider on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chefdave12118:
Good analogy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chefdave12118:
Not sure how I just did that ^^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
Please. Just the fact ICS uses Linux kernel 3.0+ is one hell of a speed/performance/major enhancement. Honeycomb still uses Linux kernel 2.

C'mon. Why the hate? Do you not hear about hardware acceleration? Do you not understand what a revamped kernel is?

People honestly just love being "outside of the crowd". Analogy concerning mainstream band is so true.

I'm more excited about the miui progress being made then ics.....but that's just me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
I should of known I would get flamed for this is wasn't talking about everyone. I made this thread for the people who were crying and installing builds that don't belong on this phone.

I mean ics on this phone is still an unknown. What if it runs slower or kills battery more I mean ics is still very new. I would understand if its been six months but clearly Samsung is working on it.

People make all kinds of threads on here that never get any replies and yet the same ics story gets posted like 5 times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
No, but I'll surely flame you for that^.

It's "should HAVE known", not "should OF known", and it always has been.

Damn, just looked, the Xoom is almost has a pretty decent daily driver ROM built on ICS already. Guess I will mess with that to get a taste of ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
I have to agree with the OP on this. Ive seen this whole process time and time again, going back to my time on the EVO, and even the Palm Pre. Everyone gets so impatient to get an update, but when it finally comes it's not what they expected. It's like people think they are going to get a whole new phone. Well, I have a news flash......after the update you will still have the same phone you have now. There may be a few minor features added, and maybe some optimization for a little better performance and battery life. However, every update I've seen for any phone always promises better performance and battery life and it ends up being no better (sometimes worse) than it was in the first place. For the most part, the phone is going to look, feel, and operate exactly like it did before the update. They aren't going to add any major new features with a software update, that's what new phones are for.

I went through 2 major updates on the EVO (Eclair to Froyo and Froyo to GB) and I really only remember 2 major changes that came with any of the updates. First was the removal of the option to use the vanilla Android launcher. This happened with one of the very first updates after launch while still on Android 2.1. The other was Flash support that came with Froyo. (And will be going away after ICS)

So, I'm with the OP, it seems like everyone just wants the update so they can say they have ICS and see "Android Version 4.0" when they go into the About Phone menu.

I'm also going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction. Once the ICS update drops, the forums will be full of posts from people complaining about it because it doesn't do this, that, or the other thing, their phone is now laggy and slow, and their battery life sucks. Many of these people will want to know how they can go back to GB. Why do I say this? Because it happens EVERY time there is an update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Cool story bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:

You're gaining UI improvements, bug fixes, and more functionality. What apps are you talking about that aren't compatible? I run ICS as my daily driver on my Iconia tablet, and everything works - and it functions MUCH better than Honeycomb did, and better than GB on my phone.

Seems to me that you started this thread to rant, not have a meaningful discussion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
Well, I smh at everyone here that's obsessing over this update just like all the iSheep out there do over the latest iProduct.

When the E4GT gets the ICS update, it's not going to make any huge changes to the phone. Other than maybe some minor UI tweaks, it's going to be exactly the same thing it is now. It's not going to do anything it doesn't do already.

I'm not saying Im against updates, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it the way many of the people on here seem to do.

Hello,

I've bought an unlocked T-mobile HTC HD2 in the USA and I use it in Europe. I've installed this ROM: NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a (GWK74)(Android 2.3.7) and everything works fine except that it looks like my phone can't find/connect to 3G networks.

Is there anyone else who also had this problem and if so, what is a possible solution?
