I was wondering if anybody knows if the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4g will ever get the Jelly Bean update?
Dunno quite yet. Samsung's been pretty good about providing firmware updates - but normally with very little documentation.
Only time will tell, although a little birdy said something about the GS2 possibly gettin JBizzle, hope it's true!
Thanks. Hopefully they don't forget about this phone and keep it up to date
I'm almost positive the Relay will get at least one update to JB (4.1 or 4.2). Maybe not anytime soon, but eventually it will.
We won't get Key Lime Pie, but JB for sure.
The Relay is a Galaxy line smartphone, and Samsung has a good reputation of updating that line.
My guess is sometime after the heat over the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 cools down, they will focus on updating their older devices.
On the other hand, the Sidekick 4G was the most anticipated phone of its year, and though it got more patches than we've had, it didn't get updated. So Samsung/T-Mobile arn't above being dicks.

it's a matter of brand.
t-mobile branded stuff won't be upgraded. sidekick and mt4gs never were.
the relay on the other hand does not fall under the t-mobile brand but is samsung's own, and it's part of the Galaxy S family which is the top tier.
i'm quite sure it'll get official JB eventually, but i don't think it will get key lime pie

i beleieve this phone is tmobile branded. beacuse its not available to any other carrier. and when you start the phone it says "tmobile, galaxy relay". and the defaukt theme and wallpaper is pink and white(tmobile colors).
that being said....i hope we get an official update of jb sometime soon.
Maybe not official, but cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2) is alive and kicking.

it is a samsung phone... the mytouch line that was made by htc in the start and then dropped to lg and huawei was a brand by t-mobile... they acted as the OEM of the thing and htc/lg/whatever was playing the role of the ODM.
the relay is a Samsung Galaxy phone, and even tho its branded by t-mobile it is not the same as the mytouch or sidekick line

Hey im new to XDA but so far i like it a lot looks like a bunch of great people. I'm eligible for and upgrade and am seriously considering the Inspire any reasons i shouldn't get or should i wait for the new latest and greatest willing to listen to anybody opinions let me know what you guys think
I've been watching the conference coverage happening in Spain right now (Barcelona, right?) through Engadget. So far I haven't seen anything that is making me P.O.'ed at purchasing the inspire.
The future is dual core processors apparently, but reaping these benefits is still a ways off... Enough for me to enjoy the inspire, and possibly purchase a new phone in a year when LTE is rollin'. I really don't have the best handle on this stuff so don't quote me.
I'm wondering the same thing. I've heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S II will be coming to AT&T. I would like a new phone now since I am eligible for an upgrade, but as soon as the S II rolls around I'm afraid I'll be regretting the Inspire.

It does matter. Without an official Froyo release, there won't be official Kernel source code. The Captivate ROMS are GOOD, but they are pieced together with source from other models.
The reasons there isn't CM7 on the captivate are there's no other phone similar enough to it unlike the Aria, so no source, and the fact that they used a very borked up file system and without kenel source, it's virtually impossible to re-write the file system and not have something else be flakey.
thanks for the help so far guys any more opinions would be appreciated
I would say go ahead and get the Inspire it is a nice phone and I don't have any regrets buying mine. I also look at it this way.
If you wait for the next latest and greatest phone to be released; you might as well not buy anything. Since; when it comes to tech toys; once anything is released to market; from CPU's to graphic cards to smart phones to tablets; there is always something in the works that will make it old tech within a few months. So chasing the latest and greatest becomes a game that you most likely will loose.

I just read that when the Rogers version of Infuse will come stock with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This should be big news to all the devs because I'm sure they can port it to our phones.

Im not so sure, because i heard specs blabbed out from random sites before for the US release stating it was going to be 2.3... SO im not so sure its legit
I think they got a their info wrong...
To start it is not. Galaxy S deivce...

Having a Galaxy S label on your phone makes it worth more.
let me put it this way, lets say your trying to sell it,
"Have this Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G" sounds more executive than "I have this Samsung Infuse 4G"
Galaxy S gives it the name it should deserve i high end phone, since Samsung has made it known that their galaxy s device line are high end devices...

Honestly, any legitimate buyer would do his/her research and realize the specs are more important than a label. Which is why I bought an Infuse.. have you seen this screen?
ha, well yeah, i guess that true, but still! Galaxy S does sound cool, or maybe its just that i have a thing for outer space...
and no i havent seen the screen on this thing
i picked up my HD2 yesterday to mess around with it, and i was like da f#@$ this screen is so small, i think im going to screen my self over with huge screens
I've actually seen several places say it is a Galaxy S phone. To me it really doesn't matter though. I love the phone, S or not.
yeah, i should just get over it... maybe in a few weeks... months...
well to start tw4 is only for the sgs2. it has been ported to and used on other roms(may bet ported to 2.2.1 on the infuse like it was for the vibrant) the sgsi9000 has gb and it is still tw3. next it wont need any "porting" from rogers. it should flash ringht on and just work! and rogers is not known to have much bloat so there wont be too many equivelents of the att apps that you need to delete.

Hey guys,
Theres a Android 4.0.1 official from Samsung released for the i9100: http://www.sammobile.com/2011/12/14/exclsuive-android-4-0-1-by-samsung-for-sgs2-custom/ . Wow it looks like they made Ice Cream Sandwich look like dog **** so do you guys think we can expect the same for our skyrocket and how long would it take!
+1 can't wait
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
that has major issues from what i hear. it will still be a while...
Do you know how many dev work on international sgs2? They have dev thread full of devs from all over the world. I can guess about 20 devs or more and they have tons of roms and kernels. We have bunch of devs too but idk who will bring it on skyrocket. I am not talking about official ics either.
They got a leak. What can we expect you asked? No one knows it may or.may not get leaked. Depends on if anyone has a friend inside.. which i dont believe anyone on ou..r forum does so dont expect a leak if it happens great but just because the gs2 did does not mean anything for us. Ours is a completly different phone..
+1 Amen... Cant wait for ICS for S/R, will keep an eye out for CM9-stable in the meantime..
Knowing AT&T, they'll want to keep their latest and greatest phone with the greatest network up to date with the greatest software, so they probably have an alpha build of ICS for our phone, just no leak.
Hate to burst people's hopes, I saw posted somewhere in Twitter that someone had leaked a document showing the unverified release dates for various phones to get ICS.. however, the Samsung Galaxy S II series phones will NOT be seeing anything on ICS until approximately April 2012.
Now I know our phones are part of the SGS2 series, but don't know if it's included in that approximate release date !!

Lmao, yeah, I'm sure AT&T really cares about updates. That's why they haven't even bothered to push out the already completed Infuse Gingerbread update, even though that's one of their most popular phones.
I guarantee you this: The international Galaxy S II LTE and/or the T989 will get their release first, and we'll all be flashing ROMs based on that long before AT&T gets around to doing an update.

Yeah, this is actually a possibility. The Skyrocket HD might come with ICS, in which case we'll have it too around the same time.
Luckily there are a LOT of popular variants of our hardware that feature largely identical internals, so I'm not too worried about us having to wait TOO long.
That's the main reason I didn't get the Captivate Glide, even though I love landscape keyboards. The Tegra internals and Samsung's lack of firm commitment on updates were enough to scare me away.
I need to know I'm going to have ICS, and the Skyrocket, Vivid, and Galaxy S II were really the only sure things for ICS on AT&T.

you can install TMOBILE GS2 roms with skyrocket kernel, but not any other GS2 roms.
Why does everyone try and speculate? Patience people.... Nothing is different from the original statement from Samsung and it doesn't change anything trying to interperate things differently than what they are. And NO, the Galaxy S2 is not categorized the same at the Skyrocket.

Official statements:
Samsung Electronics plan to provide the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for GALAXY devices. The platform update for GALAXY S II and GALAXY Note will start in the first quarter 2012, and other GALAXY devices will soon follow.
The ICS-upgradable devices are the GALAXY S II, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Note, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 10.1, GALAXY Tab 8.9, GALAXY Tab 7.7, and GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus.
For upgradable models, Samsung will make separate announcements on details of OS updates schedule for each market according to market situation and carriers' requirements. [December 20, 2011]

We can use T-Mobile Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) roms, but NOT international GS2 or AT&T GS2 roms. VERY important distinction.
Our phone is the Galaxy S II LTE internationally. It's totally different hardware from the main GS2. T-Mobile's thing isn't LTE but uses the same hardware as ours for related reasons (needing a different modem than the one in the Exynos).
I think the Touchwiz will kill it. Pure 4.0 Vanilla is the best!

Was really hoping for this to be att news. But I guess I should have less faith in them.
We have a different processor and gpu in our Skyrockets than the international version. Not sure if ICS for that device would help a lot for rom development on ours, but then again we have some amazing devs here on XDA

As long as LG isn't the one to get it.....my wife's (after I pawned it off on her) Thrill is still yet to be updated to Gingerbread.
Comparing Samsung to others like Motorola and HTC, they are all the same. At least they have been pushing updates for bug fixes and such. The Thrill has yet to get even ONE update and they have major rebooting issues along with others. I would buy another Samsung. Would prefer they were the ones to get the next Nexus phone again.

I traded my Thrill for the Skyrocket because of this. SO glad I don't have that paper weight anymore. At least we know ICS is coming, and it's about ready. LG was just playing with our emotions.
I said the same thing about only getting Nexus, but I was unimpressed with the specs of this last one and my NS4G had horrible reception issues because of a ****ty antenna.
Add to this the fact that they omit an SD card slot <--That is the biggest deal breaker by far! I like being able to take all of my files with me from phone to phone and not have to spend hours transferring files when I get a new phone.
Its basically just the carriers, if you want to get updates and have an amazing phone get the international version! I would speend 300 bucks more to pick up a of gs2 when it first came out. But I get a free phone anyway. Same thing for the gs3 the galaxy devices are pretty dang good! I mean the gs2 is still on of the best IMO. Or at least just got past after a year of it being out. So grab that extra. Money and go for it

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It sucks that they're taking so long. But, if you want to stay w/ GSM, I think the SR is still the best game in town ICS or not. Battery life on the Nitro and Vivid aren't nearly as good. And when I played w/ them at the store, they weren't nearly as responsive as the S2 (i777 or SR). The Nitro's screen was nicer, but wasn't so much nicer that I'd give up battery life and performance (and LG doesn't do much better w/ updates either). Nexus is cool, but if you don't wanna pay $6-700, value external storage, and LTE, that's off the table, too.
Samsung should've been happy w/ the original S2 (still one of the best phones available right now). They didn't need to release so many versions. I had in mind before buying this phone that the i777 will get ICS before the SR (either thru XDA or official) since the hardware is nearly identical to the international version. But, LTE was more important to me than ICS.
We can keep waiting for that perfect phone, or be happy that we have an awesome phone right now.
nexus devices are always inferior then the latest phone of that year...For example...Nexus S was inferior then SGS and now Galaxy Nexus in inferior then SG2....
I agree with above poster...with so many devs working for our phones, I think I would always go for a better hardware then the one which will get updated quickly.
I am using Samsung Captivate now, I am already running ICS (almost stable). it was one of best smartphone hardware wise 2 yrs ago..so its still getting development really good.
Waiting for official updates is dumb. The devs is where the good stuff comes from. ICS will be on our SR's from our devs loooooooong before Samung or ATT gets it to us. Standby for the good stuff. It's coming.
Sent from low Earth orbit with my SkyRocket.
So there's no XDA release of ICS yet for Skyrocket?
Not a fully functional or stable one.
So it seems my thread questioning about anyone getting the Relay has turned in the the Dev thread for it since for some reason XDA doesnt want to make a thread dedicated to it. I personally ended up buying a Note 2 which is why I dont follow this thread anymore but I just recieved a PM saying the thread was moved so I figured I would change the title of the thread from "Any one planning on getting the Galaxy Relay 4G" to "Galaxy S Relay 4G Development Thread".
Definitely looking into a replacement for my G2, haven't really seen anything convincing thusfar. With a S4, this just might do it.

Thats what im thinking. I hope that the rumor of a 5mp camera is wrong and it ends up being an 8mp but even if it is a 5 as long as it has a good sensor and flash ill be happy. So far it seems it will basically be a Galaxy S3 with a 4" screen and a QWERTY minus 1GB ram which really doesnt matter. Ive never owned a samsung before but i guess they are really easy to root with a program from samsung called odin. Hopefully CM will be supporting it.
Either way, it could be the next best upgrade for Desire Z owners. Especially with so many discouraged people with HTC and their policy's. They can keep them, and their phones. No ICS update, not even for related phones where we could bum the driver over. Not to forget how locked down the phone is. Plus Samsung phones are more consistant.

Yeah Samsung seems to be the way to go these days. HTC locks their bootloaders, both HTC and LG dont provide updates, Sony phones are just not even close to the competition. Samsung provides the ODIN program so you can do what you please with what you paid for plus it seems they are providing pretty decent updates with the S2 and Note both year old devices getting Jelly been. Where my year old G2x is still on GB.
I definitely plan to replace my wife's G2 with the Relay. I've had a Vibrant and now the TMO GS2, I love working with Samsung phones, much easier.
Only if confirmed specs come out. Some new phones that aren't super popular are getting outdated specs like the new mytouch lines by huawei

A lot of my friends do this, and they end up with a brand new phone, like Samsung Galaxy S3's, but they're out of contract and desperate to keep you in it.
Carriers tend to give new contracts better deals for phones then those who just got their upgrade. Also, there's a lot of other carriers who offer a lot more for less then the big US carriers.

I think I'll wait for October. That's when my G1 & G2 came out. If October comes without any solid information on a G3, then I'll migrate over to whatever the next Nexus device might be.

Idk man id love to see a G3 as much as anyone else here but I dont see it happening especially with the stupid G4x thats going to be coming to tmobile. It wouldnt make sense for them to release a phone named G4x and then a phone named G3. G4x will be just as garbage as the G2x, it will have awesome hardware and a quad core but will have no software support from LG or NVidia.
Do you guys think it will work in sweden? Then someone needs to send me one. Htc can **** off now. To bad i dont like samsung build quality and feel. To plasticky

With Swype beta I don't really need physical QWERTY anymore. I'm just waiting for next nexus phone(s).

Looks like an s3 with a keyboard, beautiful.
More pics released! Im feeling it. Hopefully it gets CM support and the power button can be mapped for the camera.
