What thoughts do you guys have on Jellybean tomorrow?

I'm actually quite disappointed. This is what is rumoured, and it actually leaves me thinking, is that it??

Such a minor upgrade, I damn hope HTC gives us official Jellybean. Although I doubt so, as sense has become too fragmented, and they will just focus on 4.0 now.

Question for wednesday:

How we are going to know, that there is an ota update when most (all?) of us in here went custom? :confused: :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@bronx - Don't worry, someone will definitely make a thread, and everyone will start posting "OTA Available in XYZ Country" ;)

@oly - Jellybean will most certainly NOT be a minor upgrade. The upgrades from 2.1 to 2.2, and from 2.2 to 2.3 were pretty major, maybe not visually, but there was a ton of under-the-hood stuff. If it was minor, why would google give it a new codename? (2.0 and 2.1 were Eclair, all 3.x were honeycomb)

Read this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/29/the-ultimate-google-io-2012-preview/ If even half of this is true, JB will be awesome. Firstly, the Project-Majel voice assistant has a huge chance of making an appearance at this year's IO. There may even be a social gaming platform, like the iOS game center. The good thing is, the Kernel update won't be as huge as ICS, so we'll have working builds faster. But, all this is just speculation.

The only one thing that is certain is that we will NOT get a JB update from HTC. I am 100% certain about this. There is a VERY slim chance that the Sensation XE and Evo 3D get it, but that is also highly unlikely. The good thing is that One V will definitely get it, and we'll have ports soon (Fallout ;) )

One thing that bums me out is that it's almost time for CM10 (maybe a few more months), and we're still struggling with CM9 bugs due to HTC's carelessness. The source code can magically fix every thing, so why the hell are they keeping it to themselves??
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Man, I'm waiting for it too! Football will post the RUU, and I hope someone is quick on the job and posts the flashable zip!

@Shrome, yeah too good to be true I guess :(

I was secretly hoping HTC would still support us. Hopefully that is the good news then. From Froyo to GB, it was the same kernel, so before official releases, other phones got fully working GB ROMs.

I hope that will be the same case as us. If there is a new kernel, the DS will he dead :(

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, Nexus S is getting Jellybean :eek:

Do you think we can? Did thy say something about manufacturers not supporting the update to existing devices?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
They get a free G-Nex? :eek:

Just thought, CM9 is sorta ruined now? I mean its not even official released, but now they will work on CM10?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nothing on OEMs, this was a Google event. We'll definitely read stuff in the next week, device details, etc.

I seriously hate when they say stuff like this (and they ALWAYS do) "HTC is committed to providing users with the latest software update bla bla bla bla" NOTHING SPECIFIC, just a load of crap :mad:

EDIT: Not free. I/O tickets are $900, they get a G-Nex, Nexus 7 tablet, and a brand new Nexus Q. That's why the tickets sell out in minutes, they get their money's worth ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
As far as OEM's are concerned, I don't trust them on a timely update to JB !

It would be better to buy the next nexus phone (whenever it is released that is).... 6 months may be ?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
What the hell?!

Nexus 7 - $199?? Quad core beast? It's so cheap!!

That's ridiculous. An iPod touch here costs £149, and this tablet only costs £127?

What's the drawback? All tech sites are calling it average, but it has a quad core chip?!?!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, it's pretty awesome IMO. The thing is, google sells it directly from the play store, cutting the retailer (middleman) therefore reducing the price. It will be costlier when bought from shops, which is the only way it can be purchased here (if it comes to India at all). They even sell the GNex for $350

Something I noticed in the stream - they called Chrome for android Chrome, and not Chrome Beta. It's out of beta today (didn't think it would happen so soon) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkLmNocm9tZSJd
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, that's US price... In the UK, I think it will come to major phone retailers but at high prices. Too good to be true then! otherwise £129 is a fantastic price!

P.S - I'm guessing you're all using Fallout 4. I'm not sure whether I should switch back!

Been using Virtuous Saga for 2 days, and I'm quite happy that is it is actually the only ICS ROM 100% working. Everything works as it should, but lowveld has made so many changes to Fallout, its incredible! Tempted to switch back :D

OK, two things - first, really liked firefox, almost switched to it as my default browser this morning, till Chrome came out of beta. Nothing major really, just that page loading seems much faster now, and it doesen't load it in "Sections" (hard to explain). In short, back to chrome :)

Second, the match is freaking awesome. Both sides delivering excellent attacks, my favourite was Silva's shot. Really hope Spain wins, or my friend is gonna bug me to death. Sadly, he's the same guy who supports Real Madrid against my Barcelona, so the La Liga was enough for me. It's hard without Villa, but they seem to be doing pretty great :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Damn - we haven't even got a fully-working ICS yet and you want JB already? Talk about putting the cart ahead of the horse.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's what I thought, but, it won't be a very big transition. Most of the fixes which were made for ICS should work for JB, the only thing that may screw up is Camera. Once we get an ICS kernel source, JB ports/source builds will be better than ICS ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Nice memory and thanks for remembering. Yeah my last exam was a nice and easy german listening (although I may regret that comment in August!)

A lot of people have told me that nobody can prepare you for the jump from GCSE to A-level because it's too big a gap. You've just confirmed it as well which is quite scary. Perhaps that's why they want to bring back the O-levels.
[HTC Desire S] igesta:
hm, good point.. I guess I have to remove the "asap" part then haha..

on a side note, some of the current ICS ports are quite close to perfect for daily usage, IMHO.

Knew it would be getting the JB update first, that's why I wanted it a few months ago.

Price seems nice as well! $349 SIM-FREE, which is effectively just like £224?!

of course this is direct from Google themselves.

Went to O2 on Saturday, the 'best' plan they offered me was like £41 a month, 2 years... what a joke.

O2 has always been a huge rip off for me, especially in store. I always stick to buying online now.

One feature of Jelly bean has got me excited but should've been fixed ages ago. No more blurry contact pictures!!!! :D

I'm curious to see about battery life as JB seems to be focused on performance. Can't imagine it being worse though.

Unlucky mate, genuinely thought you'd had it tonight pre-match.

On a side note, I am EXTREMELY pissed off!!! Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!

Was on Virtuous Saga earlier, played around and found a option to clear temporary data from the SD card. It told me 0.98GB was HTC temporary files. So I cleared, it felt happy with my new found memory.

Later on switched to Fallout, and discovered I lost ALL my music!

WTF?!?! I haven't even got a bloody backup!! Argh!

Why HTC, why? What kind of option is this.

I suppose it could be my fault... 0.98Gb temporary files seems way too much, and Virtuous Saga is a leaked ROM.

Thought I'd throw my tuppence worth in here, I'm a forty something Londoner living in Derbyshire, I work with people with learning difficulties which is one of the most rewarding things I've done. I climb, cave, canoe and fire arrows for fun. I have cobbled together almost every computer I've ever had, and haven't written a line of code since my spectrum days. I'm getting married in September(bloody stress) I have a two year old that would rather watch quiz shows than cbeebies. I got my first smartphone about eight months ago, love the ds hate sense, I still collect and sell comics. I play games on the pc whilst watching the missus do zumba on the Wii. I rooted the ds about three days ago using the htc dev method. Currently running reaper which I love, it's quick and stable.hboot is currently confusing me:confused: but one thing at a time. The phone before this was an old Nokia (calls+sms only) I use a screen protector and no case, it has a dedicated pocket and is still in mint condition:D.Came across this thread whilst banging head so thought I'd pipe up, found a lot of threads a little confusing but hey ho.

It's out for iOS already?? I thought it was coming soon! Great.

Yeah android is all messed up. My iPod touch 2G with a 533Mhz CPU, 128MB RAM is actually smoother than my phone during web browsing.

Makes me.want to cry

Apple have actually implemented this thing to make it smooth, the moment you do one.thing, everything else will stop. Kinda hard to explain, but on Any iOS device, while loading a web page, start scrolling, And don't stop. You will notice that the page will never actually load until you take your finger off ;)

That's why iOS is so smooth.

Also,a question to Tectas and enigmaamit (and everyone else with an SGS3) - Do you guys use S-Voice? Do you like it, or still think Voice assistants are Gimmicky??
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Honestly, I don't really use it.

The only cases where it is useful for my opinion is to remotely control the music player and in car.

The first works somehow, but only within s voice or at the locked phone (or I just did it wrong to get it probably working) what isn't that good, because you need to wait till the screen turns off to wake the phone with the command and trigger the next command I.e. while music is played.

The second I couldn't test that much because I own no car^^

For everything else I would use the default way, because I anyway have to interact with the phone when I get a search result I.e.

Messaging is ok, but I had to set the language to English because it was a mess with German and direct calls are also somehow handy (if it understands the name correctly).

Bottom line, it can be useful, but there is still much left to do, currently I disabled both system wide triggers, because I prefer no home button delay over quick access to s voice and the lockscreen wake command is pretty battery draining except you tick only listen while charging.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I've thought about the same thing. I'm replacing the digitiser on my DS as I cracked the corner last week and I've just switched to a rolling contract with Three. None of the other phones out there right now can convince me to put out £30+ a month on a contract - which the DS did 14 months ago.

Hopefully something will come up around Christmas-time and I can then make the jump, but for now it's just a case of refresh what I've got with ICS and live with it.

Interesting. It is a fairly nice work-in-progress, but I'm not convinced enough right now to use it as my daily ROM. I'm just trying out the latest MIUI just to have a play as well - quiet weekend ahead.

I look forward to what Fallout should become once we have the right kernel and tools for LowVeld to work his magic fully. I've got no doubt that, now I've 'dipped my toe', I will keep coming back to try out each new release.

Lol, I haven't used Gingerbread since I dipped my toe in ICS, which was about 7 months ago :p Last time I used GB was probably sometime in January, couldn't go back since my apps didn't work well with GB after they got a taste of ICS. Shame I could never give Reaper a go.....

Definitely, the only question is when. The source will be released in mid-july, hopefully we'll get a kernel source by then :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Come on dude - we haven't even got a fully working version of ICS yet.

Given that JB is only (according to all reports) only a minor step up from ICS then it is likely we will get something, but I doubt if HTC will release an official version. I would place money that they will focus JB on the One series and anything newer, and all of the older devices will be left to stay on ICS if they want official software. It is also unlikely that any form of official JB will be released (unless it's by Google on the Nexus) before 2013 anyway.

Let's just hope we don't spend the next 6+ months with "JB this" and "JB that" :eek:
