why are people so concerned about Gingerbread? I bet at least half of the people who kept asking for Gingerbread does not even know why they wanted it. I'd like to see what is the main reason people need it. I understand it's the latest version and it got some cool features but does it really affect the phone that much? I'd rather ask LG to fix some of the issues they have now rather than the Gingerbread... just my 2 cents...

I thought the wordage (yes I did) of my tweet would display the humor in was going for. Now I did mean it don't let the smooth taste fool ya. But you guys are so he'll bent on making people feel stupid you didn't even notice it.
I didn't start this thread for scrubs to come in and flame. I want Gingerbread for the same reason I buy a new phone every 2-3 months. Because it's new. I know how to root my phone, I have every ROM stored on my phone so I can play with it in my spare time, but what's wrong with wanting an official update?
And don't you think an official update would come with bug fixes?
This forum has gone to ****, you ****ers need to get off your high horses and chill out. =D
But if you want a list.
Improved UI
Improved power management
Improved copy/paste
Those are the features I want. Keyboard seems nice too but I can download that now.
Anyways thanks for taking your time to try and ruin my day, but you failed.
On the brighter side of thews.
did you read about the guy who pocket dialed 911 while planning his next heist? Classic fail.

iPhone 5

I have decided that when the REAL iPhone 5 debuts, im going to iOS, its more solid than Android... sure with android there are a variety but I would rather have one phone that can upgrade at the same time others of its kind upgrade instead of trying to hassle to *root* a phone n do all that other crap and risk bricking it just to stay current, well do that or buy another phone, its ridiculous actually.... and I saw a similar post to this one and that guy was right, Google has customization yes but when it comes down to it, it pains me to say but google is crap compared to apple as far as being current and stuff u knw? So whenever the iphone 5 drops I will not deal with android anymore I just can't tolerate this mess anymore

This is the reason why surveys say that ios is for girls and android for mens!!!!!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I agree that the iOS has its good points. But for full functionality of your own phone you have to jailbreak it. How is that different than rooting your android? I have had an iPhone 3Gs and 4 and neither of them have come close to offering me all that I can have and do with my Infuse. And guess what that's my opinion, it works for me and my needs. Am I putting the iPhones down? Not really, if you want to drive an off the showroom floor mid grade model that comes with a stock package that is as you buy it then go for it. Personally I prefer to know how my device works at its core as well as be able to modify that as I see fit, but again that's me. I will not buy another iOS device until they allow the freedom I have with my android. I own both Mac and Win machines and an Ubuntu and a Slackware machine so I'm not pro or anti apple I get a device that fits my needs. If you need an iPhone go for it but what's the point of spreading negativity in a forum where the iPhone is not the focus.

Keep dreaming on! iOS 5 is an year away, like a distant dream... and some lame people are already dreaming of it. No wonder people find apple fan boys so lame and incapable.

They say actions speak louder than words so don't say anything and just go do it.

Android 4.0 SDK Out now

the ice cream sandwhich SDK is currently out on android sdk website. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
anyone start toying with it yet?
if so how'd you like it?
discuss

I am on too slow of a connection to download and mess with it but just from reading the notes it looks like the press conference REALLY left a lot of important features unmentioned. Another thing I found odd was that there was zero mention of the "one OS to rule them all." I would have thought Google would make a bigger deal about this being a unifying version of the OS.

I just tried it and I must say it rocks.
I really like the browser
I just feel that they could have been a bit more creative with the home launcher since it kinda reminds me of adw, but other than that everything rocks

are you really worrying, if ICS will be available for the NS?! or did i miss something?
no worries, mates, as far as i have read the statements of google, ICS will definitely come for the NS! of course they have to bring it, i'd buy an f*ing iphone, if my not even 1 year old developer phone was no longer supported! (ok, it was a bluff, i'd never buy that brick, but i'd be really pissed! )
the last thing i read about it was, that they first of all work on the NS-rollout...though i don't think, that it will happen before the galaxy nexus is published...
Edit: "Google Android Chief Andy Rubin stated that Ice Cream Sandwich is on schedule to roll out “a couple of week after” the Galaxy Nexus arrives in the marketplace." -> that may take some time, maybe a christmas present?

It has to come out for ANY phone before that can happen. Besides we will be the second phone to get it so i'm imagining we will have an official before there is ever a port, so just settle down :

B2G / FireFox OS

I've been following B2G or as it's now called FireFox OS, for several months. Definitely looks interesting, especially the concept and UI. Did some digging and haven't seen anything about it in our forums yet, so thought I'd get one started.
So far it looks like only a handful of phones have any form of a port of the current version, and I haven't really seen any fully working. Definitely not expecting someone to "jump on it". Mostly just curious s to what people think about it, as well as if they'd consider using or switching to it if it ever became available on our Skyrockets.
For those that don't know what it is, here are a few links:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/b2g/

Why would I use an OS from a company that continually fails to get its mobile browser working right? I love Mozilla products on my PC, but their mobile products are lacking.

Agreed, except I don't use Firefox at all. I'm 100% Opera. I'm just always intrigued by the possibility of a new mobile OS.

Any news for us yet? Will we get it? I hope so!!

Are there any phones that come with Firefox OS standard? I heard about this a while ago, but I don't remember it getting much traction.

Any update to anyone working on B2G? The last time we tried, we didn't have a stable ICS, so I'm thinking it might be easier this time around if it's tried again?
Sent from my 5" Retina XT iPhone running iOS 7

I think the main thing to consider is that the os is built using css and html5. It opens up new possibilities as far as hardware and software can communicate, this is particularly important for battery life as these concepts are developed and implemented into current devices. While I agree i don't use Firefox on android, much prefer dolphin, and I typically don't use Firefox on the pc, chrome kind of guy, that doesn't close me off from new developments. Nobody is asking you to use it, that's why manufacturers aren't shipping Firefox os phones.
On another note, I hard bricked my i9100 flashing b2g (pre Firefox os) because the Odin flash was taking 30+ minutes so I assumed something was wrong and yanked the usb cable during the repartition phase of the flash. Usb jig wouldn't work, never did send it for jtag. If I do however, I'll try it again hahaha :screwy:

It also opens up security issues with HTML5 talking directly to hardware... Could be a serious security risk.

Good point, however Rome wasn't built in a day, we're finally at the front lines of operating system development, which is a great step forward compared to the traditional model of "here's what we got for you" style of os development. So while you have a valid concern, it's welcomed and I'm confident it's noted somewhere. The key here is to remain consistent with constructive criticism, which if approached in the wrong way is seen as useless *****ing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Are you implying that I am *****ing?
My only point is, while FirefoxOS is a very cool idea. as Google has seen with Android, security is a big concern as they rushed Wallet to the masses and then had to retract it on most carriers/devices. That has left a lasting impression that Google knows Search but not security.
I understand FirefoxOS is in it's infancy and that is why they need to address security now, not later or it will have a difficult time coming to the masses.

Androids are no more exciting......

The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.

Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.

Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.

androids are cool

Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.

Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam
