Augh. And I just bought a new phone WTB vanilla, and that's what this is! CRAP!

please please pleeeaassee announce a version with ATT 3g bands (or have them built in like the Vibrant does). Bye bye captivate!

It went through the fcc, has the name NEXUS S (Nexus + Galaxy S) google on the back and 2.3 (Gingerbread) vanilla in the U.I. picture.
It's UNDENIABLE this is the NEXT Galaxy S/Nexus
Woot porting android 2.3 to our devices + first to get updates as nexus phone

This news / confirmation of rumors is the best news for all SGS phones since the SGS line was released! This all but guarantee's we will get Honeycomb when it comes out and it should be ported quickly!

Why can't these other Galaxy S phones have a nice back cover like the Captivate? The Cappy is still the nicest looking of all Galaxy phones.

I totally agree with you. It looks pretty fugly compared to the cap. I was actually thinking that it could have been pretty sexy if they had taken the Omnia 7 style chasis and android-fied it and thrown in some more metal instead of cheap feeling plastic.

This will be awesome as long as Samsung doesn't do the same douchebaggery they've made themselves known for as far as updates and support. Once this drops I'll probably buy this and ditch my Cappy.

I wonder if they're delaying it because of the GPS...

I hope it's the same hardware and we'll see a port, I'm not about to but another super phone, although the ffc and presumably hsupa and possibly hspa+ do make it tempting even if it's the same hardware.
If it's new hardware, I'll be mad I bought the captivate.

The hardware should be relatively similar, probably most similar to the Epic 4g. I base this on the fact that it was originally supposed to be out Nov 14 (I forgot where I read this, androidandme.com maybe?), and that the model number is I9020. I highly doubt they put some next-gen hardware in it that would make it impossible to port the OS to our captivates.

I hope it comes with worth while hardware improvements if its only standard Galaxy S then there is no point upgrading if you already have Galaxy S variant..

how does this mean we are going to be the first ones to get gingerbread / comb? (not trying to be a ****, can't convey tone in type, this is a genuine question) I understand a port might be SLIGHTLY easier, but what if it has a lot of different hardware? (as someone who is not really familiar with phone development, I am genuinely curious) and I really don't think that the release of this will mean that samsung will continue to support its other phones (c'mon people, its sammy). I think Ill certainly buy one, WOOT for updates from google!

It ties in with it being easier to port to our phones, and I highly doubt it'll carry the new 1.2ghz processor.. considering that's slated for the new flagship samsung
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/11/exclusive-samsung-flagship-phone-with-gingerbread-and-huge-di/

come to think of it, this is samsung's dream phone, they get to utilize all their sexified hardware, and not have to give a crap about software updates since that would (presumably) be handled by google. I think it was meant to be <3 and also WHY THE HELL DOES T-MOBILE GET ALL OF THE DAMN GOOGLE EXPERIENCE PHONES!? (best buy's leaked info suggests it will be through t-mobile, heres to hoping that it carries the at&t bands like the vibrant does)

Well, the assumption was that it wouldn't have a lot of hardware differences (same cpu, gpu, modem, etc.), meaning that porting the rom over to work on the captivate would be a lot easier than something with next-gen hardware, which would necessitate writing custom drivers and whatnot.
Looks like my assumption is turning out to be false though. Sorry to wreck everyone's Friday afternoon with this, but check this article out:

Just a statement about gb for g2x

I made a new friend high up tech support for t mo. He tells me the gb that's out is beta and rushed to appease the lawsuits and angry masses they could be 3-6 weeks out of the true update. They know about all current issues posted on here, but if you have any new issues I suggest letting them know.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

the gb upgrade is pretty bad. i tried it and it just slightly better then froyo in the interactivity. it was choopy and unresponsive for my taste. I went back to CM7 almost immediately.

There really is no reason to ever use stock when we've got so many great ROMs to choose from.
The only thing worthwhile about this update is the new baseband, which is fantastic and I'm glad to have it. But once you've got it, go right back to CM7/Eaglesblood/MIUI/Whatever.

Lol, it's all LG's fault. I will not believe that so called 3-6week crap
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

The whole convo came about because of my *****ing about the laggy key response. But this is the build they almost pushed back at end of may early June with an updated baseband. An issues with the new kernals and using too much ram. We got pretty drunk by the end of the talks. They know most of us are frustrated and upset and want to push the best possible product.

A couple days ago, I was in this little wine bar and I noticed a guy down the bar sitting by himself. He saw me pull out my G2X so he walked over to ask me how I liked it. Upon responding to his weird answer, I noticed a T-Mobile ID badge around his neck but those was not your normal no nothing sales executive. This guy actually had a important job and I could tell by his Armani suit with an insanely high thread count. I too him I liked mine but also told him that it was my 5th one since the first 4 were plagued with problems. I also told him about all the complaints I hear online and in these forums concerning issues anywhere from screen bleed to bad battery's. We had a couple drinks together and started bullshitting about phones. This guy was so easy to buy information from. All it took was a couple shots of Patron and a couple glasses of Opus One Cabernet. He proceeds to tell me about all the phones coming out in the next couple months which included 2 high end Samsung phones (A dual core version of the Infuse codnamed Hercules) and the real SGSII with the Exynos chip. He also told me about another high end HTC device and the next Nexus device that will be a quad core and released in November. All of this news was nothing compared to what he told me next. Quite frankly, I'm sure he could be fired for what he told me next. He said that this version of GB for the G2X was I fact rushed but they were not going to release another version of it. Instead, they are going to update us with Ice Cream Sandwich in 3 weeks and the G2X will be the first device to get it. He said the phone can't really get any buggier than what it already is so Google has decided to put the buggy phone to use and make us all Beta testers for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Hehe...I'll take my responses off the air.

I didn't even test out the stock GB. I flashed it for the baseband and immediately switched to EB 2.3.3 1.05 and then 1.06 the next day. MUCH better than stock Froyo!
As for the 2 "stories" above, no comment lol.

The second story was a nice read. I'm in for story time. Who can beat that? LOL

I think he forgot to mention the Absinthe that started the evening. I think that Tmo will get some bastardized version of the SGS II, but with all the troubles that the Vibrant brought, I'm not sure it will be a winner.

I really enjoy taking pics with my phone and it really sucks that GB update doesn't have the LG camera. :S

I really doubt that second story. Don't you think google would want to put and test their new os on a nice quad core that will be releasing later. Yea I think that's reason enough to believe that won't happen.

Or what he might of meant is that the G2x will be the first to receive the ICS update. Hopefully we do get that update, but I honestly don't think LG would update this phone to a major update such as ICS especially since they struggled so badly with Gingerbread. I can only imagine how much customers and money LG has lost by releasing the G2x and O2x with all the software issues it had/has. For the record my only 2 issues with this phone are random reboots and camera app being dark (yes I'm on the Gingerbread update).

This was my first LG phone. While the hardware is great, the official software sucks. The way LG handled GB was lame, and they way they are handling this is lame, it's like they don't want customers to buy another one of their phones in the future. Well, I guess my next phone is going to be HTC or Samsung.

Yeah, this is my last LG phone.... back to Samsung or HTC for me and pawn this phone off to the girlfriend...

I've been lucky and not had any issues with my phone ...even when I was on the stock froyo rom. We ended up with a working GB rom from the cm team months before an official one was released. I'm sure if its possible someone will port ICS to our phones. If your one of those that doesn't flash roms and will only install stock roms from the manufacturers then you prob should only be buying nexus phones to insure upgrades, or you shouldn't be using android at all and buy an iphone.

The only way to tell LG that the "F" up is to stop buying LG phones.
It will take efforts from everyone to start telling friends and family not to buy LG phones and to go somewhere else. Get the movement going.......NO MORE LG! LOL

I think by making this move LG has messed up bad. Even if cm9 is released it will never take the full advantage of our tegra dualcore processor. LG must provide their version of ICS so that the cm team can improve our version.

Just saw this and even though I no longer have this phone I'm still pissed (cuz my brother does have it).
First a POS 2.3 update and now this slap in the face. This phone is probably one of the most Epic Fails that I've seen (software), as far as hardware it would still run circles around some of these new phones out including my SGS2.
Unfortunately it will never see it's full potential thanks to Nvidia for not releasing their source and LG for not updating it.
Yeah, these great devs can port any future updates, but it will never work to it's full potential.
Needless to say that I've learn my lesson and I will never buy an LG phone again. I'll stick to HTC and Samsung(which I hope they improve their track record).

Of course there will be ICS for us. CyanogenMod is comprised of some pretty freaking smart developers.

Did you seriously not see this coming? It took LG months to get the 2.3 update out the door and even then it shipped with a FroYo kernel. While the answer sucks, I give them credit for being upfront about it in their communication. That's more then can be said about how they handled the issues when the phone first came out. I got a G2X on launch day and returned it during the remorse period. I left T-Mobile over the experience.

They just deleted that comment ><

Unfortunately, as any Vibrant user will tell you, without an official release, CM will only work half-assed.

I just read that as well and I did not like it at all.
I think we need some how to request a promptly official comment/update on this matter from LG (LG Dev Team, LG Customer Care Dept, LG Folks, LG Product Pro, SmartPhoneGeek).
For me, if I do not hear any official positive LG commitment to their best Smartphone, I will be throwing the towel and asking my money back, because you guys have failed big with your own and with your Customers as well.
By the way, how is the Class Action Lawsuit going?

I am 99.9% we are not getting Official ICS for G2x

Tmonews is reporting the ICS updates in the near future. The only devices mentioned are GS2, Amaze, and Sensation. I was pretty sure we weren't getting it before but now I am almost positive that we are not. Perhaps if the O2x gets it then we can port it over.
I am waiting to see when will the Galxy Note or Galaxy S3 come to T-mobile. If the date is too far away(We are always that last to get anything) then I am getting a $399 Galaxy Nexus.

Just enjoy GB. TMO released a good GB ROM and CM7 is still pretty awesome for this phone. If ICS comes then cool, if not then just be content or move on to something else.

Look at the picture in the link from the OP
On the left hand side, it says G2X in red font. Below it you can make out the letters "ch" at the end of the word. So maybe that means that the G2X Ice Cream SandwiCH update is overdue????

The G2x is falling behind in the market where everyone wants the Galaxy series (say hello to the galaxy blaze and the soon GS3) or HTC. If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with.

If T-mobile had plans for it, why would they move forward in production of newer model phones? Oh, and the reason HTC sensation is getting it is because they make money on it. The G2x is falling behind in the market where everyone wants the Galaxy series (say hello to the galaxy blaze and the soon GS3) or HTC. If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with. So, yeah. Go cry in a corner now that you know LG hates you.
What the hell does "=/=" mean? Are you squinting at me?

Oh thanks a lot for the explanation captain obvious, hence the topic title being "I am 99.9% sure we are not getting official ICS."
I don't quite understand who is "bashing" anyone in this thread.

As long as the O2X gets an official ICS update from LG, then we'll be fine.

Interesting post from the O2X thread, regarding ICS update:

Maybe an incompetent LG representative (since the Wind "O2X" is a G2X without the Tmobile logo) or on the contrary.

Annoyed at having to wait for ICS or JB?

The press anti-Android spin this year has moved on from Fragmntation myths, to upgrade timescales. I would like to ask WHY Android owners expect to get upgrades the moment they are announced...
I mean if you wanted prompt updates, then the ONLY way is to buy a network-free Nexus handset. If you cheapskate and buy a network subsidised handset, why should you expect to get it the same time as Google can do without any hurdles in the way... If you buy a network-locked Nexus device, the network operator will want to get involved, if you buy a non-Nexus device locked to a network, then you not additionally have to wait for the hardware manufacturers tweaks.
This really isn't rocket science, so I am wondering why users expectations are so out of kilter with reality....
I don't own a Nexus device (although I do have a Nexus7 on pre-order), and whilst all my devices now have ICS, I wasn't losing sleep until ICS arrived, as in the Android world, you don't exactly lose very much, all Android apps works on all OS versions (pretty-much). Sure you might mis out on OS features, but not much else...

And what was the point of all that? You got pre-ordered a Nexus 7. Good for you, but the rest is clear to all of us. And i have seen people gettin mad about updates because the manifacture gave a specific date and didn't hold on the promise.....

everyone is different. Some are still happy with froyo and some others want to see jb on their phones as soon as possible most probably to test the project butter. Every release brings some improvement and humans have tendency to get the "improved version" of anything as soon as possible

Agreed. LG owners of models bought a year ago, which stated in the literature of LG they would get ics are still waiting. It was only recently we got gingerbread on some and that's why some get annoyed.
Manufacturers should honour their commitments or simply stop promising what they can't or won't deliver.

Actually if you're not in the U.S, carriers don't wait Half a year and install their sh!tware, they leave it up to the manufacturer to release it.
Awesome

AFAIK, subsidies are rare outside of the US so you're paying full price for your phone.

Nope they are quite common at least in UK, here anyone can get phones subsidised by their carrier provided they take a contract for x amount of months. Often you get the phone for "free" but sometimes pay a percentage yourself.
Or you can buy from a third party and they can offer phones on contract with your chosen carrier that are also subsidised which is what I chose to do last year.

I thought that but it isn't quite correct as LG told me that if your phone is supplied by your carrier in UK it is they who put the updates out.
Apparently LG send them it and the carrier adds anything they want before offering it to the customer.

That's not true. It took T-Mobile a good few months after the US to release gingerbread for my girlfriends Atrix.

Probably not coming then. It's not on Moto's list of devices getting ICS.

Well that's the UK.
I live in Ireland, And all updates are rolled out by the manufacturer.
And yes, we do have subsidies here too. Not sure about the countries past the UK though.

I just had to check this to be sure but Ireland and UK both follow same system which is European, whereby carriers release updates for the phones purchased direct from them.
If your phone is getting updates from manufacturer yet is using stock shop bought rom you're probably either lucky or got it from a source other than your carrier as apparently it is supposed to be the same as in UK.
Edit: by an odd coincidence the Irish times also mentioned this being the case http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/0712/1224319858525.html so you might just be very lucky

Well its happened with my X8, and my current phone, the XPERIA Play.
When I first got the phone there was NO carrier bloat ware on it?!
Both phones. But on my Dads X8 (which we bought on the same day, same shop) it had the bloatware.
But when he updated his phone there was no bloat ware, so I'm guessing he was also getting the update via the manufacturer?

Most people don't care or even know what version of Android they are running. As long as they can still download their favorite apps they don't care if they are a few versions behind. Think of all the people out there still running XP on their desktops since it still gets the job done.

Yu no cyanogenmod?

im not waiting cause i alredy got ics
sony is reliable for software updates.
my xpeira ray was released on november , got ics at april along with arc s and neo v but the only problem is they still release phones with gingerbread
.

Just root and flash a ROM.
I don't get why people complain about updating on a modding site.
If you've had an Android phone for more than 6 months, you should know the drill.

But this is BOTH a modding AND a general Android site, Plus the fact that it is so popular.
