Hey guys,
Does anybody know any info about the Samsung Hercules? I really want a new phone from T-Mobile, but I don't wanna get one yet because there will probably be a more amazing phone coming out the next month. So comment about the Hercules and about upcoming T-Mobile phones.
Thanks

Well I know it sounds like an awesome phone, lol. Man I can't stand waiting for the better phones to slowly come out it's killing me!
i want that phone now!
yes, the waiting is killing me, i so want a new phone, but nothing is good for Tmobile, now that the Galaxy 2 is finally out for Tmobile, i can't stand the wait
Looks like I'm the first to see this ...
If you are looking to upgrade to a Nexus S you can do that today only (8/3) at Best Buy for free.

Saw this on bgr too. I'm saving my upgrade for the a sgs2
Miui 1 7.29 w/ Neo10 plus V6 Ram script, 3g Booster & Kick Ass Kernel Tweaks
Was thinking the same, with sgs2 out this month ill just wait. However always getting the latest release also kinda appeals to me.

i tried to pick up 3 to resell but they ran out at all the best buy in my area.
Hopefully this is clearing out room for a Nexus Prime.

Captivate related.... one believes not....
About a week ago the Samsung Epic 4g for sprint got a official GB update. So maybe the other Galaxy s line of phones are getting it soon. If we don't get it before the SGS4G then it will be easyier to port it right?

While I really would have liked to believe it, the recent push of the KJ2 update really puts a damper, IMO, on our hopes of getting 2.3 anytime soon. It took Samsung a YEAR to put out GB on the Epic. While the SK is getting old, we still have a couple of months before then. I'm beginning to lose hope in the thought of GB on my phone.
EDIT: The SGS4G has finally put pushed with a GB update. This phone is the closest to the SK in terms of processors, so my statement may have been premature.
I have read that the sgs4g may be releasing gingerbread 2day. Via kies not ota

thats really great cuz im a late buyer of the tbolt (saw it for $50 at bestbuy this january and pulled the trigger cuz i was broke and wanted a new phone) and was wondering if i made a wrong choice -_- im ics themed like crazy and cant wait till its officially released, i really enjoy ics and how it works with the minimal use ive tried on the nexus. makes me very happy now starts the waiting game..
i predict july! would b proper for my birthday too
Well July may be a little optimistic, but hey who knows!
I'm hoping that when the Tbolt finally does get it's ICS, that it CM9 will become official for the Tbolt. I would LOVE some AOSP ICS. From what I've read, ICS was made with LTE in mind, so once we get an official ICS, it should be smooth sailing as far as that goes.
The interwebs today are a'blaze' with a rumored August 15th release of a Blaze Q - essentially a slider querty version of our blaze with a 720p display - that will launch with ICS. I don't care for rumors too much but I'm hopeful that the official T-Mo ICS for our blaze to be around August 15th - or about a month from now since the 2 blazes are rumored to be almost identical. Nothing official from T-Mo and as of today the support page still says release date TBD. Will we finally be getting ICS?

That's too long lol plus we need source which comes out up to 30 days after T-Mobile update :/

This is pretty much a failure on Samsung's part. This phone should have came with ICS too, honestly. Or at least it should have been released already.
Hopefully we can have an unofficial port of CM9 or JellyBean since the source was just released.

cm9 in time jelly bean it's eh also maybe since from api 15 to 16 wasn't that big of a jump
It could be sooner. I can't imagine T-Mo selling any Blaze 4g's on GB at all right next to the ICS Blaze Q's. Unless T-Mo is shipping all of their Blazes back to Samsung they need to have both of them running ICS by the 15th. I just don't see another price drop happening since the Blaze just dropped $50 not that long ago and is only 4 months old.
Ironic thing is by then we'll all likely be running a CM9 port from you and won't care until source is released
:good:Thanks for all of your great work ericmm!:good: We're all happy to have a great dev here!

Man I hope you're right. Still running unrooted, stock ROM, but using Holo Launcher just to get the ICS-like experience haha
Hoping I can grab the official ICS if/when it comes out so I can root and get rid of some bloat and enjoy Google Chrome
I'm getting anxious. I at least want a set date!

Relay 4g officially announced
...and it's identical to the Blaze minus ICS and the slider keyboard. Rumors had this device to based on the SGS3 with a S4 chipset but it is in fact what I thought it would be... an S3 with 5MP rear/1.3 MP front cameras, 4 inch SAMOLED display, 42Mbps '4g' from TMO.
Source article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...y-s-relay-4g-to-hit-t-mobile-in-coming-weeks/
So since these phones are nearly identical it would appear ICS will be released for us this month alongside the Relay.
I would also guess the delay has to do with the Apple lawsuit and Samsung needing to comply with their 'software enhancements' that were found to be infringing.

That's a big assumption. Usually they avoid upgrading a phone's OS when they have a nearly identical phone coming out because it can hurt the sale of the new phone.
Having a new phone that competes in the same space as the Blaze 4G is not a positive sign for us.

I'm not so sure. I believe the ONLY reason the Blaze was on the short list for the ICS update is because Samsung was planning on re-using the hardware from the Blaze to make a slider phone (aka the Relay) and put ICS on the re-released device. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise for this device to be getting the update.
Even if Samsung snubs us on ICS the Relay is so similar it may be very possible to develop ICS for the Blaze based on the Relay source (which from what I understand would be easier than porting the current GB source).
EDIT: I can find no information that the Relay will have a 720p display like was rumored. So the display will likely be the same as the Blaze too.
Doesn't the Relay use an s4 processor and the Blaze uses a s3? Wouldn't that make it harder to port

Read the link I posted on page 1 from cnet. It is in fact an s3.
There is a link to the official TMo announcement that tells all the specs... I will post the link in a bit.

The s2 source is closer to the blaze than the relay will be ....still requires a lot of work to kernel to just get a booting kernel.

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

I will take your word for it... you know way more about it than I do (I'm just a noob after all lol). Still, from just looking at the specs everything about these phones (the Relay and Blaze) look exactly the same- same S3 @1.5, rear cam @5MP, front cam @1.3, same SAMOLED 4" 480x800 (driver may be slightly different), and perhaps the radio is different as well but it could be the same (after all they were calling this phone the Blaze 4G Q - there may be nothing different at all under the hood). I know the display is different for the S2 for sure along with the cameras.
I just wish things like this were simple (although I know they never are).
Stooopid question I'm sure, but how is it I can put ICS roms on my old Mytouch 4g and HP Touchpad, but not this phone?

Well I would say it's because you haven't made an ICS rom yet
Seriously if it were an easy thing to do, everyone would be making roms. It also depends on how many devs get the device in question among other factors.
