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.

I am in Taipei this week and there is a huge trade show going on. Don't know the exact name other than it is next door to the Grand Hyatt.
HTC has a very large both with engineers so I had the great pleasure of talking with the HTC Design engineering guys.
Some conversation points:
The HTC Touch Cruise/Polaris is unknown on actual launch dates.
The HTC Engineerins know that Taiwan is getting the Polaris devices sometime in February.
TomTom software may or may not be on the device. It depends on the carriers agreements and the distributors packaging, sku's, etc
There is a Google software is being looked at and HTC does have a dedicated engineer working with Google and the SDK package for future devices. I did ask if we would be able to upgrade current platforms to the Google phone software and I got a 'probably not' response. (At least I tried)
As promised - Pics -

Can you ask them if they thought Kaiser owners would use their GPS indoors when they blessed the device with transmissive LCDs
Sometime in February, damn HTC keeps pushing the release date away...
kinda silly to use google for gps if one
1. have to pay pr. mb downloaded
2. drive in places where gprs/edge/... is weak or absent

Exactly! This for me is the MAJOR question. Also about Kaiser....I'm still choosing which one shall I pick...
Please........try to clarify this issue once and for all....
I will try to back over there this evening to get a response on the DirectX question and the others.
Just to clarify, the Google SDK is for the new Google Cell Phone OS/ROM/Firmware. Not just GPS feature. It is called ANDROID and is the Mobile Phone Software that Google is hoping to be the alternative to WM5/6. Follow the embedded link to see the videos of the phone software.
I tried getting back over to the trade show but the engineers were already gone for the day. Sorry -
Better luck next time
ThankX for your effort anyway!
Bye!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-partners-with-oems-and-carriers-to-guarantee-android-upda/
We're here live at Google I/O, and the folks from Mountain View have just shared something rather sweet -- a coalition of manufacturers and carriers committed to making sure their Android devices receive the very latest updates. All four major US carriers (and Vodafone) as well as HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola are on board, and all will guarantee you timely upgrades to the latest version of Android for eighteen months after release, provided the hardware's capable. Now that's change we can believe in.

Good news?
Also Honeycomb 3.1
http://www.gsmarena.com/events_roun...okia_and_microsoft_later_in_may-news-2629.php
great news. had this program been in place a year ago there wouldn't be so many bad attitudes in the vibrant forum -_-
What does "timely" mean? And does this represent a change from what they were previously doing? My impression is that most/all of these companies would say that they already roll out updates in a "timely" fashion, regardless of what we impatient users think, and that this is just a commitment not to stop doing that.
lol we'll see. i'll believe it when it happens, but my fingers are crossed cuz that'd be awesome!
don't hold your breath.
I think an actual number should be set in place like 3 months after initial release of the newest version of android? Im not sure if thats reasonable or not but the galaxy S series didnt even start getting 2.2 updates until 2.3 was released. Thats just plain wrong haha.
Google announcement bad news for G2X
This is typical Google BS - saying one thing and getting everyone ready for that, and then turning everything upside down with a different "plan".
2.4 was supposed to be a functional update for 2.3 the optimize it for dual core performance. If you search "android 2.4" - you will still see most links stating just that.
Now, from the above announcement link, it is supposed to be the end-all OS for all devices. Don't expect to see that any time soon now. The "original" 2.4 was supposed to be coming out soon, and I was looking forward to a port or possibly even an G2X/O2X update.
I am annoyed enough with Google that I suggest that take their "Ice Cream Sandwich" and stick it both up where the sun does not shine and where it will melt!
I want a duel core OS and I want it now, as per their earlier alleged plan - it was due out in April.
Bull****. We won't be seeing 2.3 anytime soon.
New Android 4.1 Jellybeans is here!!!!

Android's post on Google + ::
Want to get your hands on Android 4.1, Jelly Bean? Starting in mid-July, we’ll begin rolling out over-the-air updates to Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom and Nexus S, and we’ll also release Jelly Bean to open source.
nice features but i feel like the design is a downgrade from ICS
the new search widget is ugly, same for the notifications, in ICS all uniform and now different sices and buttons everywhere
also why has the nexus 7 phone layout and now tablet layout? such a waste of space
This looks awesome! I love the notification bar design now! and project butter, makes you kinda think what they left out because I'm pretty sure originally it was going to be 5.0 but the OEMS told google to slow down because there updates are barely out.
Pushing me more and more towards a Nexus device in the future, though Sony and one or two others seem to be pretty timely with updates.
Hope it will come to the Iconia A700 Can't wait for it.
Everything sounds so awesome.....:good:
So excited! Looks really nice, many new features
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
some quick great features
* project butter ui
* better touch response
* offline voice typing
* offline maps
* google now
* better camera app
* smart updates
I hope JB lends it self to bigger screened phones (Galaxy Note) better than previous versions of Android. So it would seem that we will have stock ROMs available by the end of July as well.
What's new in Android 4.1
also
as he asked a question for google search it spoke back, and yet nothing was said up front but I wonder if that isn't Majel?
So it will come to international Motorola Xoom? I have one and I don't have ICS though, I'm not informed but I believe there is an update but only for US is it?
Can anyone tell more about Google Now, at that time i can not rly understand what is this?
another thing
I really like how Google is sending out a Hardware Development Kit to all manufacturers now with Android updates so that it will allow manufacturers to get their updates out faster.
Try this article :
http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/27/google-now/
I take the bet that 2 weeks after relasing the sourcecode of 4.1 there will be a working build form my SGS at XDA!
thanks to all developers at XDA!
thanks to Google!
Android rocks!
Cant wait for this!!!
I'm very glad about all the new things in JB
Hope my S2 will have it soon , but anyway i'll take a Nexus 7 to get it as fast as possible DD:
Project butter ui.
Hm. Nice USP.

Correct me if I misunderstood the new cpu on touch feature but doesn't this mean android will now copy the ios method of prioritising touch events, or is it just literally making cpu run nearer maximum?

Wasn't the iOS priority thing debunked a bit after the rumour got out?
Anyone know if Huawei has officially stopped updating the Honor 8? Firmware Finder hasn't had anything new on it since December which seems longer than usual.

I think it's the end... :crying: 2 years of updates, 2 main android version updates done...
EDIT: NOT THE END!! Chinese models got February 2019 Google Security update! Nice surprise!
Sad to hear - it's really annoying you cannot expand the notifications on the lockscreen...
Are any of the ROMs people have ported ready for prime time? Calls/SMS/WiFi/Bluetooth/.Fingerprint reader/...IR blaster all working?
It's kind of a bummer to need to get a new phone for software/security updates when the hardware is still really nice (outside of 3D games which aren't important to me on my phone).
I never even got December 2018. Latest I got was April 2018

Everything works, but the Pie version of OmniROM has some lag in animations.

Well, if animations is the problem (I haven't find any lag) you can simply disable them on dev options
Just a quick update. Honor release 8.0.0.540 for Chinese version 3 days ago... I hope we will receive it soon on our versions

Of course they did. I'm on Android 9 (Omni Pie from Openkirin Team), but you can go on the safe road and install an Android 8.1 rom that comes with less bugs (as OmniPie is actually in Beta stage). However every OpenKirin rom is surprisingly smooth, fast and very functional. You will have working camera (EMUI camera), wifi, ril, bluetooth, gps, fingerprint (10/10 works very good) and so on. Plus you'll have all the benefits from the customuzation options merged in the roms (or you can do on your own that). My advice is to try. Even with some little bugs you will not regret EMUI stock. BTW i'm on 5 February Security Patches on Pie

Samsung has released the stable Android 13 (One UI 5.0) update to the Galaxy A53 5G in European countries.
The update was planned for December but Samsung has delivered the update a full month earlier.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammobile or any of the firmware downloading utility.

Already updated. Quite laggy in the first 15 minutes but got better after all.
Kinda a meh update, didn't change much but I'm glad the notifications look better now.

I don't have the phone to test this update. But Samsung is really doing commendable job with updating so many of its phone lineup to let user taste different flavours of Android.
I know hasty decisions may lead to buggy software but I would say let us give Samsung a chance to improvise the taste of Android.
It's even beating the very maker of Android in delivering software updates.
Soooo... I got the update today... and I must say that this definitely feels better optimized than Android 12, there's still a little lag here and there when playing a game and then switching to something else (multitasking) however this definitely feels better, great job!
How's the ui?lagging?
In the US, no update yet.
Stil laggy?
Might be slightly less laggy but I wiped it after the update. But still not great.
