So will yall be porting the dinc s ics update?

not really worth it, if there are updated cam libs it might help us out, but its not gonna be much different than the already released chinese stuff
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
I wonder if y'all will get ics from HTC
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
If we don't, then that means revolution against Verizon! XD

Besides, HTC did state that we were gonna get ICS, but if we don't, then its obviously Verizon's damn fault.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Come on... HTC says we will get it definitely by the end of August... They probably discussed this with Verizon may be? I dunno how things go in the background, but any reasonable person would think that some kind of discussion would and should take place between service provider and manufacturer before the manufacturer makes a commitment saying a device WILL get a particular update... No matter how lousy the companies may be, at least this level of professionalism should be maintained... And so given that HTC said the update is coming, I suppose it may... But experienced people here may have hard evidence on sh*t happening, so I dunno...

Anyway, I swear I am ONLY getting nexus devices in the future.. This cat and mouse game of waiting for updates is NOT my definition of fun... I would rather like timely updates that will help me have a peace of mind and allow devs to make tweaks more easily... Though we have an amazing set of devs here, things are clearly held back thanks to the updates coming at a glacial pace...

Btw, who is making the next nexus device??? I must say I would rather like it to be HTC or Motorola. Though, I have a profound loathing against Motorola (thanks in part to their locked down devices and also thanks to being burnt by the Droid X2), I admit they have great build quality and signal reception... My DX2 was a rock... And it weighed like a rock too... HTC seems to make good quality phones too and they stepped up their game with the One series... So both are good picks for the next Nexus phone. I'd like a change please.. Enough of Sammy's galaxies and nexuses...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Speaking of which, who'd like to help me out? Lol I've been looking at getting a gnex, but every one is trading them, and/or trying to sell used one's for brand new price, (ie $400+, when it's an old device). I'd like to find one for $100-250 range with at least a flawless screen. Don't really care about the casing, as long as the screen is clean lol. I'm kinda ocd about that. Or if anyone wanted to donate one to me :P lol (jk). I wish.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Ebay, seriously.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I've looked but they're all like $350+ or get there before I can bid lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
If HTC, Samsung, or ASUS makes the next Nexus, then I'm going for it! :D

If its Motorola or LG.... Well, it means its time to look at different phones.

Hopefully it'll have a good processor. :)

I highly doubt we can get any performance gains using Jellybean... We have a frigging S2 single core processor... So, will Project Butter really make a difference for us? Or will it even negatively impact the performance? Devs, fire away!!!

I guess we can get an inkling when the Nexus S receives the update.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Yeah they really do

In 18 months we went from unlimited data and no upgrade fee and optional 1 year contracts (could upgrade Evert 10 months) or new phones every year for the primary line for my Verizon customers on 2 year deals.....to the crap we have now

But its really where the industry is going

Att is just as bad if not worse on pricing (coverage by me is bad too)

T-Mobile is cheaper but they throttle u at 2 gb of data a cycle (like 50kb speeds)

And sprint only viable if you live in a good coverage area (which isn't that common) and might not have the lte footprint vzw has now for years
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Not sure where you are in NJ but where I am the coverage is about the same for AT&T and Verizon. If AT&T puts out a plan that is better I might switch but I'm unsure. It really sucks to be losing out on this customer loyalty plan I'm on. The only benefit of going AT&T is GSM and unlocked phones.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
I seriously think I'm going to hate the sgs3 forums... They all whine and ***** too much and there is one guy acting as the regulator that is just as annoying by saying that no one has the right to hate vzw for being the only carrier to lock their bootloader and telling them to shut up. I will miss you all waaaay too much... Even with all the gsm/market downloading questions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
They just got root... I hope that shuts them up... so far, of the various xda forums I use, transformer prime is the least useful as every second thread is a whining guy and comparing ipad with tfp etc... I think that is enough of negative publicity of the tfp forums on my part... do they ***** and moan about stuff like bugs etc on sgs3 forums or is to general hate against Verizon??? I will only buy nexus phones from now... hope those forums have more grateful users (they should be as they have prompt updates) and no smug wise guys... :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
Who's acting like that? Let me talk to him
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
They are *****ing about Verizon.... every thread seems to have someone say f them and another crying about they should just deal with stock. Seriously, if you are going to ***** that someone should just be happy with stock, get off the development forums... Wether or not you are for or against it though, leave it out of a development thread.. that is my biggest annoyance

As much as I want a top tier phone or a phone with a lot of support they wont have the same small feel of this group or the Eris. I think people with the mid-tier stuff are more appreciative of work and their phones.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] juzz86:
In my limited Modding experience, this is very true. The devices without the huge exposure are much more pleasant and constructive places to be.

Seems everyone has something to prove, or has to 'one-up' the next guy so his ePeen is biggest. Unfortunately, that's just forums today.

5.1 speakers

Do people not care about surround sound speakers for their computers anymore? My old Logitech set died and there are only like 2 new models on the whole planet to choose from now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
It's called HDMI out. Get a new sound card
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I'd be more inclined to say people have moved onto headsets, thus negating the need for a full set of 5.1 speakers.

Whoa, you just made me reconsider my phone buying strategy... I was thinking lemme go buy nexus phones from now on. But they have huge user base, over several networks, and loads of devs => LOADS of threads about different versions of phone + loads of whining, as I see it = a major PITA... A lot of the phone using experience is the XDA dev community over and above the phone itself. It's like signing up for the annoying, dysfunctional family vs. a sensible one that does things at a steady pace and welcomes all... Hmm... :confused:

I think I'll go for the dysfunctional family headed by Google please... may be. I'll keep this in mind next year may be.

I'm counting on it! Anyway, too much obsession with smartphones may not be the healthiest lifestyle... So, in a way, I thank the 2 yr contracts from keeping me from becoming one of those weirdos with all the phones in the world, but not a penny to eat or drink :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I wouldn't mind a 1 year contract, but 2 years makes your phone become obsolete (unless you have an iPhone). :(

Sent from my Sensified ICS phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Well it is personal opinion really. But I think 2 year contracts on Nexus phones = Perfection.

You get updates for the whole time (see Nexus S), you stay relevant and get good dev support. You don't waste money every year buying a new phone and when you do buy a new phone 2 years later, it will be A LOT better than your current phone. Not a minor update like what seems to happen with iPhones all the time. I recently played around with a Nexus S on GB... I initially thought it was a Galaxy Nexus due to the similar curved screen (:silly: I am silly), but the point is it was very, very awesome! I liked the phone very much. And it was on GB! ICS would be awesomer and the Jellybean will make me cry (with joy, of course!)

I actually like Android more now: Google has a nexus lineup that gets major updates every 6 months (compared to a year with Apple) and they are AOSP. This parallels the Apple's single lineup. But Android one-ups (more like many-ups) it with several other manufacturers in the mix... with, well, caveats! :D :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I have a feeling based on how things went with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus there wont be anymore coming to big red.

Google has made it known they want to try and buck the system of mobile phones so I'm sure they'll continue to sell them as GSM Unlocked but maybe just skipping carriers all together.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Oh no! I am from a different country, btw, and I hate how the US service providers are making anti-progress... They are raising costs, causing more difficulties with phones.. It is not this way from where I am from... I may have to go GSM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Seems the Sprint Galaxy Nexus is having a better time than Verizon. Maybe Sprint might get the next Nexus again. One can dream right? :)

It's just Verizon and AT&T that are really raising costs though. Damn greedy corporations.

This is why I said Verizon sucks donkey balls. I also say the same for AT&T.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Though I can't vote and all in this country, (I still need to pay taxes :rolleyes:), I must say you guys have not much of an option. It is sh*t vs sh*t... And no matter what ideals a candidate may have (much like a possibly naive Obama in 2008), they are inadvertently squashed in the hell hole called DC, a half hour away from here... (No wonder we had a heat wave last week.. The powers above were clearly pissed)..

The whole aim of Republicans over the last 4 years was to make Obama a one term President. That speaks volumes... Nah, economy, crushing health care expenses, crappy laws can be dealt with another time.. We need to focus on NOT letting President Obama get anything major done. That is what's important... Affordable health care (Obama/Romney Care) is the work of Satan... We love Capitalism... I want to mate with Bernanke... Socialism is nonsense...

Wha- did I hear <insert stereotypical liberal OR conservative view>?? Booo!

It is the same on both sides, and we all know that... It is like it is a prerequisite to put your brain through a blender before entering the Senate. Can't anyone think with even a 0.01% of their gray matter? That in itself will be enough to put this country on the right track... Please put your god damn parties and their motives in a well and just think for once.
