I say the same.. why make updates for 1st gen phones when those user can spend more money upgrading to a new version.. thats how all company works. They cant sell new phones if they still have the older phones up to date.. Im cool with 2.3 on my phone maybe cuz i know i got a tablet which is gonna get ics soon..
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
What do you mean us? It'll work just fine on my SGS3. :p
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Lol we're going to get CM9 buddy. We'll be officially supported by Cyanogenmod since now we have MTD like other Galaxy S variants.

I understand why you aren't in any way optimistic, however CM6 was discontinued due to it not being popular enough, CM7 is nearly finished, and it only took a long time since we weren't supported by Cyanogenmod and we didn't even have Gingerbread source until 2 months ago.

Now, I'm 95% sure our phone is picked up by Cyanogenmod and we will get official CM 7.2 as well as CM9.

When will that happen? Who knows? But we will get it, and I guarantee we will have at least an early build of CM9 in the coming months.

Don't lose faith :)

And OP: Did you actually expect our phone to get ICS? It took over a year to get Gingerbread after it's initial release, and I don't think Samsung will spend another year updating a phone that no one's going to have next year. We will get ports though, I'm sure of that. (WORKING Ports, that is. Not the one based off of the SDK)
[Epic 4G General] .OmEgA:
You guys know the epic sucks major donkey balls on updates, why get yourself all worked up about something that will never happen? Just setting yourself up for disappointment. If you don't like it you have one of two options, use your phone as its built for (calls, texts, web) or buy a new phone just for an update.

If we get CM7 official, then we'll see CM9.

But,

[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
[...] a Samsung spokesperson has said that the company will not offer the update due to the hardware specifications of the older Galaxy devices, in that they are limited to and fully optimised for the Gingerbread experience.[...]

Ha, ha ha, ha. They really claimed "fully optimised"? It took a lot of work to bring Gingerbread anywhere near stable, let alone "optimised". Also, isn't it optimized? Oh well, we never expected it in the first place, and even Gingerbread (broken as it was) was a surprise. If ICS is really wanted on the Epic, someone brighter than I will find a way to port it, I'm sure. At the same time, I'm quite happy with my phone.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Even if ICS came to the i9000 GSM Galaxy S, it would never ever come to the Epic 4G.

Why? We only have 512 MB of flash storage. ICS is big, and this would give us very little space for /data.

Fortunately, it is possible for us to work around this by putting /data on a SD card, but making the modifications for it would take time.

This is one of those things where MTD support is useful, since /system can now be resized.

[Epic 4G General] iamchocho:
Samsung is too stupid to probably ever be able to get ics running on our phone. Luckily we don't need them for the software with the amazing dev team we have for CM. The whole no space arguement samsung is trying to use is complete BS but they are likely too stupid to even realize it is.

Let's face it, their hardware is great but their software has always been junk. Here's to hoping that with time they get better with that considering they hired cyanogen himself. Unfortunately I worry that even someone as good as him won't be enough to overcome their stupidity, but I'm hopeful I'm wrong.

Ics cm9 alpha kang was showed off by acs team and in the video they said we would have cm9 very soon so there u go.
[Epic 4G General] Fantastic.Ergo:

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I stay away from "ACS" branded stuff. Something about the way they operate just doesn't sit right with me.

No its probably just that I'm jealous of their ability to heard the sheeple into their stable lol
[Epic 4G General] :
I was thinking the same thing. Like awhile back when Xboxfanj first porting Miui to the Epic and wasn't getting that many results ACS or whoever wasn't paying him any attention. Then all of a sudden when development picked up for Miui BAMM! He's a part of ACS, and hosted the Rom on ACS site giving them a lot of hits since Miui, like Cyanogen is very very popular
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
That really only happened as a coincidence. I PMed qbking77 about making a video to show how to do the terminal emulator data fix (at the time necessary to enable data), and in his response, he agreed and invited me to ACS.

Personally, I love ACS because it provides a chain of support in which if I ever need help, I can ask people there and even if they don't have my device, they help me. A lot of XDA people (at least in my experiences) are not always willing to help people with other devices (though some are too).
[Epic 4G General] BenBarker:
Why be a hater/troll? All evidence points to CM9 for Epic 4G users. Contrary to the belief of the uniformed, this phone is very capable of running it. It was built overpowered looking forward for what may come. The dev's in our community are committed and know that this phone can do, and we will have CM9. If they didn't believe that, they wouldn't even bother. Go Away little man, or contribute to the conversation.

Hi guys,

I bought this game 2 weeks ago for 0,10cent, installed and played it for a while.

Now yesterday I wanted to play the game again, and it crashes on startup. (I think the game got updated a few days ago...)

So, I uninstall the game and want to re-install it, but the market keeps telling me my device in not compatible. I used to install it on 240dpi screen settings when I bought it, but even that doesn't work anymore...

Does anyone know how I can get this app to run again? It used to work...

Thanks!

It doesn't matter if the SGSIII was the 2nd coming of Christ, if there's one thing I've learned from owning a Desire, SGS, and now the SGSII - is that my next phone will definitely be a Nexus device.
[Galaxy S III General] htc9420:
Hahaha, great...I guess we can compare the ''mystical" waiting for something like GB 2.3.4,ICS is a religious waiting for some...also the ranting over phones and OS's is sometimes more fun to watch than the religious ranting:D

As for the S3 specs, two cents:

- we're all gonna have the option to get a Sammy official gear a lead acid carry on bag to get a decent battery life. AOS is huge on 2 cores@1.2 GHz, just imagine on a quad core@ 2.0.....

- who the hell needs a quad core? multicores were developed with performance in mind, BUT also in order to SAVE power...exactly the opposite behavior on SGS2...WTF? they can't optimize the GB for two cores, what's next: the phone that makes the party as a grill replacement device?

PS. I forgot, this is a "some devs" directed question: WITH 4 CORES, 3 SECS WAKE-UP LAG SHOULD BE REGARDED AS ACCEPTABLE, RIGHT?

[Galaxy S III General] CA3iR0:
No, no coincidence because it was Samsung that made both CGI's! Like I already said, it can be the future SGS3, or it's just a CGI made for showing stuff (like the hability to control a camera from a phone).

So let's chill the F*** out, stop seeing SGS3s everywhere, and wait for credible news from Samsung (which didn't spoke anything about a SGS2 sucessor in CES, I remember!)

new ICS phones come with soft-buttons. What you are getting confused with is capacitive buttons which are still hardware buttons, its just different hardware.

"soft-buttons" are on screen software buttons like what ICS comes with.

After Careful Analysis of Trends and Rumors, here is what I think of the S3 / Note 2!

Next Month Samsung will be announcing who knows, how many new devices. One of the expected models is the Galaxy S3 and possibly, Note 2.

I can say the S3 will have the following after doing a careful analysis of trends and rumors,

2 GHz Dual Core Processor (Exynos 5250 with Mali T604), Save the Quad-core for later, probably intended for Tablets

2gb LPDDR2, DDR2 or DDR3 Ram

16 Megapixel Lens Rear Camera (Samsung Technology)

2 Megapixel Front Camera with Face Detection

16gb or 32gb Built in Memory Expandable up to 64GB

Built In NFC

Ice Cream Sandwich

2250mV Battery

HzO Technology--water-proof technology

ETA--Late Spring, 2012

Who wants to bet?! :p

I can say the Note 2 will have the following after doing a careful analysis of trends and rumors,

5.3" SAMOLED HD Pentile Display with 3D (also known as Super AMOLED III) with 1280x800 Resolution, Lotus Glass

1.5 or 1.8 GHz Quad Core Processor (Exynos 4412 with Mali T604)

2gb LPDDR2, DDR2 or DDR3 Ram

16 Megapixel Lens Rear Camera (Samsung Technology)

2 Megapixel Front Camera with Face Detection

USB 3.0

16gb or 32gb Built in Memory Expandable up to 64GB

Built In NFC

Ice Cream Sandwich

2750mV Battery

HzO Technology--water-proof technology

ETA: mid-Summer, 2012

Who wants to bet?! :p

Sounds reasonable for the most part.

But 12 Megapixel Camera would be more than enough and I hope they use a non-pentile HD Display instead of this 3D crab with pentile.

4.65" are good if it uses virtual buttons, otherwise the phone would be too big.
[Galaxy S III General] mickliq:
I am still very happy with my SGS II, and I've been a serial phone swapper for sometime. Can't believe it's 7+ months already. I've even reached a place where I don't want to load custom new ROM's on it -- ICS notwithstanding, it's super stable and I like the setup and don't want to screw it up! For example, I have a kernel with BLN and I can't live without that now, so can't do ICS for the moment.

Anyway, if the screen is too large (4.65" like the GNex), then I won't be getting an SGS III. My hands already getting tired sometimes with the 4.3" of the SGS II (though it's bearable!). I'm actually looking at the Sony Xperia S with its 720p resolution at 4.3" if the SGSIII is too large. I also like the polycarbonate feel (I've held the Lumia 800)...

I know this is an SGS III thread but need to be realistic!
[Galaxy S III General] Elythor:
I don't see what is the hate on pentile when you have such high pixel density. Anandtech's review on the Nexus Galaxy already shows that it is impossible to tell the subpixels from standard working distance. 3D can be disabled so it is a non-issue.

What needs to be worked on is the display control to avoid ugly aliasing.

Implementing a software solution is a lot easier than spending hundreds of millions in improving a fabrication technology.

ICS and NFC is a must. Although Google needs to pick up their slack in implementing Google Wallet before Fruity Company decides to hijack NFC with their own proprietary protocols.

Samsung should also stop racing with other Android manufacturers to get the thinnest phone on the market...I have the 2000mah battery on the SGS2 and I'll never go back to the old battery just for the sake of thinness/weight.
[Galaxy S III General] SAlmighty:
I don't think it will be Plus. Samsung has done quite a bit to improve the Pentile Matrix with a Green Fluorescence mixture while manufacturing their displays. The Pentile will remain as it is because the Plus had certain issues that Samsung didn't want to elaborate on.
