[Q] Android 3.1 update?

Any word on Android 3.1? I see where it's out for Verizon Xooms and WiFi Xooms. Any reports on it? Any date for arrival on the Transformer?

Rumor is mid-June.

Not be rude, but there are several threads on this. Search?
And someone mentioned June but I don't remember their source.

Doesn't say anything about when its going to be released though =/

Translating the facebook comments, 3.1 is coming, but they're not sure about Ice Cream Sandwich.
On another forum I was browsing, a Swedish Asus person said they've had 3.1 and are working on it.. But they said summertime release... If the translation was correct.

thisismynext says they've been promised "early June" by Asus (review itself says June, the Q&A specifies "early")

You know, given how Asus has pretty much crammed everything into the TF and made it work (microSD, full-size USB ports on the dock, SD card on the dock, etc.), as well as the Asus-specific apps (including DLNA support), I'm pretty confident that they'll get 3.1 out the door as quickly as humanly possible and ICS as well.
They seem very aggressive about making this stuff work, possibly because of their experience in making high-performance motherboards and such. It's probably in their DNA to get into the guts of things, which is one of the things I like about the company.

A picture worth a 1000 words, definately gonna keep it!

Ice Cream Sandwich will be OPEN SOURCE (Google confirmed this) so we'll definitely see it on Asus Transformer one way or another

Sony 'Nexus X' Photo Leaked Last Night

Update: Sources tell Kickedface that these images are not of a genuine Nexus device.

Is this Sony’s Nexus device that will be known as the Nexus X? Well, what do you think? Is this real or fake? This was Uploaded by a user named Mutul Yeter, we can see that the device looks very similar to other Sony devices in styling, however, this appears to be running stock Android and has the “Google” logo branded in the middle.
All carrier branding is missing and the device has on-screen navigation keys, something we would expect to see on all Nexus devices going forward. We aren't sure where the name “Nexus X” originated from, but it’s being tossed around as a possibility rather than Xperia Nexus.
There's also some odd artefacting throughout the photo, particularly around the USB port and the Google logo up top -- hallmarks of possible Photoshopping. Then there's the fact that the front face shows a home screen where the Google Play Store icon is not labeled, and there's no persistent search bar up top. If you ask us, there's definitely something fishy going on here.
And then there's the fact that we're pretty sure the LG Nexus 4 is what's next from Google, and that Googlers are currently testing that model rather than any Sony creation.
In any case, let's suspend disbelief for a few minutes and entertain the idea that this is genuine. If so, we'd guess it's either an abandoned prototype or some future Sony phone in a dummy case. Certainly, the exterior doesn't match any Sony phone we're familiar with, though it does share a few design traits with the Xperia S and Xperia Ion. We know from briefings with Sony and other manufacturers that they often produce numerous prototype designs for future hardware, so it's possible that's what we're dealing with here. We also wouldn't read too much into the fact that it's running vanilla Android, as manufacturers must use this as a starting point when building their own UIs.
In any case, we'd suggest you don't get too excited about what we're seeing here. It's not impossible that we might see a Sony Nexus at some point in the future, but if we do, we're pretty sure it won't look anything like this.
Check past the break for the second, equally suspicious photo in this set.

Android KitKat ​
Google has just announced that the next version of Android will be called KitKat and not Key Lime Pie, as rumoured earlier. Also, the next Android version number is 4.4 not 5.0, indicating that KitKat is not going to be a huge jump but a smaller upgrade.
​
The search giant has also placed the KitKat Android version statue along with previous versions in the Mountain View. Android boss Sundar Pichai posted a photo of the same on his Twitter account today.
In this tweet and on his Google+ account, Pichai revealed that Android has now crossed 1 billion device activations. This is up from 900 million activations figure shared at Google I/O 2013 earlier this year.
“… All this Android innovation is driving tremendous ecosystem momentum and I’m excited to share that together we’ve now passed 1 Billion Android device activations. Huge thanks to the entire Android community from the hardware manufacturers, chip makers and carriers to the developers and content creators to all of you – our Android users around the world – for making this possible,” Sundar wrote on Google+.
Android KitKat
Let see how Sony give update to Android 4.4 KitKat

I don't think getting our mobile officially this version...

I thought Google would release 5.0 but they troll me xD I hope Sony will give the list of device's that are updating to 4.4 and hope there will be XL.

Stop dreaming guys.We're lucky if will get android 4.3 official.And since the development doesn't seems too bright,I'm considering selling my XL...I'll just wait for a little longer to see what's going on.Peace!
And about 5.0 troll,Android might run out of ideas...hope next version won't be 4.5,etc ...

This dream is a beautiful thing . I believe that it will get Android 4.3 and 4.4 on our Xperia L.

K is for KitKat?

Now that that's over with, let's get down to the serious business of speculating about what desserts start with the letter "L":
I'm pretty sure that the ship has sailed on "Lemon Meringue Pie" ...
Unless Google plans to make "Golden Ticket" candy contests an ongoing thing then "Lemonheads" are out too ...
In fact, once you shut down all the desserts that start with "Lemon" there isn't much left, so I'm calling it early... the next major Android OS name will be:
Lollipop
After that, it's wide open - but if there really is a Santa Claus ... please let it be "MoonPie" ... pleeeease ...

I luv Kitkats. Maybe I'll change my Infuse for an s5 next year to get kitkats
I guess S will be Smarties, the best candy to become smart!
BTW India was suggesting L for Lassi. I'm not Indian, but man the Lassi really tastes great. Addicted to it now

This is only partially on topic, but I'm guessing everyone has seen the possible photo of the new Nexus 4.
Is anyone thinking about jumping ship when Google releases their new phone? It's been my plan for the past year since I've been using an Infuse with a horribly cracked digitizer. I don't know how I feel about the likely possibility that it will be made by LG again though. I was hoping Motorola would be the manufacture because I like some of the phones they've been making lately.
Is anyone thinking about going to a different phone? I'm not on a contract so the Nexus 4 is pretty much all I can afford, but I still enjoy discussing the nice things I can't have.

any update on release of kitket ?
any update on release of kitket ? is it declared, that its going to be release in oct ?? or all is humor....

According to that article (and a few others), KitKat is already leaked per Nexus 5. Seems the OS is faster and not as resource heavy (which is promising for older devices like my Infuse), but reports indicate the first cut of 4.4 is a little buggy (not unusual). Seems the camera flicker is fixed (woohoo) and that there are other visual improvements. Overall, there is more good news than bad, but 4.4 appears to be more technical improvements than anything (which, again, is welcome news for Infuse, and hopefully will make it just as portable as previous versions).

Keep all conversation to this topic to already existing thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44186112
Appreciate your future attention to this.

Have a great day!

Android 4.4.3 Already in Testing, Report Says :D

Google is already testing its next Android KitKat update, according to a tweet posted by @LlabTooFeR,*who has accurately reported on the mobile industry in the past. The update, Android 4.4.3, allegedly carriers the build number KTU72B and may fix a number of things, but will reportedly also focus on a camera bug in the Nexus 5. That phone has been constantly knocked for having a mediocre camera, and earlier updates have tried to fix issues.
In fact, way back in December Google launched Android 4.4.1 which was supposed to clean up the Nexus 5 camera. It still isn’t quite up to snuff, however, and earlier this month Google promised that an update*with a fix for the camera was on the way. We think it’s also possible that Google could just issue an update for that specific phone, instead of dedicating an entire Android release for a single device, so it’s possible there are other performance enhancements and tweaks under the hood that we just don’t know about yet.
So far it sounds like Android 4.4.3 is relatively minor, which means you won’t have to fret if you’re picking up a new flagship that might not receive an update for many more months. The next major update probably won’t come until June, when Google may introduce it during its annual I/O developers conference.

Nice, that means that we can expect a new version in the repositories of CM, Omnirom etc. quite soon!

Im thinking (hoping) we will get a new camera app, Google acknowledged the Nexus 5 camera bug and maybe it's just a conspiracy theory of mine, but the New HTC One (M8) has a lot of camera features in sense , not to mention the depth sensor and they said they were working with google to support it on the Google Play Edition of the M8 , and this version just happens to be released in 2-3 weeks, you can just preorder it, what do you guys think?

Man they spit them out fast :laugh:

Ha. You never know. Hopefully, we will see some awesome spike in camera performance... Not on the HTC One M8 level, but certainly a boost...
Now if only they could fix the Moto G camera... Hahaha.

Hope that this update makes the camera better, that is the only thing I think anyone could complain.
