The next nexus device? or devices lol

I am able to upgrade in september, and was wondering if i should get galaxy s3, or wait for the next nexus or nexuses, because i heard they have better development support. Is it worth it to wait, or is there enough support on s3, being so popular. Also, how long would i have to wait for the next nexus

Nexuses have great support, but if you need a phone now go ahead, the s2 is getting jellybean.

Nexus devices get updates directly which is fantastic, there is no waiting involved for manufacturers to add all the bloatware. I have an S3 and know that Samsung will be quite dellayed on any jelly bean update, so I have just accepted that any jellybean I get will be a custom rom but I'm okay with that. Personally my next phone would be a nexus, but I have enjoyed my S2 and currently love my S3

Can you add one more phone on that poll?

Why?

I would really like to see a dual exynos 5 phone; benchmarks look promising. Or, use of Qualcomms line would be sweet.

they really are, ive been burned thrice times..sadly ..only reason i tested the nexus is because i knew google was supporting it...if you dont care about the mediocre features of the s3 or dont care for touchwiz i suggest you wait for the next nexus..if you care about them then get the s3..but im sure you know or if you dont know..samsung is horrible with updates ..i got the behold...smh..then the galaxy s..wow..then the galaxy s 2..shouldnt have been shocked..see they dont really build up to much talk about updates..they let it ride for a year..then drop a new phone thats better and forget about the last one..if you dont care about support and updates and dont mind touchwiz and its features then i suggest get it..im not bashing the gs3 for anyone thats reading this, im just stating whats happened from past experiences and my experience with the s3, its a beautiful snappy perfect little phone well little isnt the word lol..but the features it offers if you care about customization and what not are just a gimick. if you dont care about customization like most general purchasers or just dont take the time to figure out how to do then you should get it

Good news for you:

I highly highly doubt that will be the next Nexus device. With those specs, there is absolutely no reason for someone with a Galaxy Nexus to upgrade.

Note 3 Photos Leaked - Real or Fake?

I Know this is random, but its also cool. For anyone keeping up with the rumors on the note 3, here's another. These Photos Were leaked online 6/10/2013. Comes from Sam Mobile who are the ones that leaked the Pictures of the S4 which turned out to be real. the phone seems to have a smaller bezzle like the s4 so the phone its self wont be bigger but the screen will.
What does everyone think? Real or Fake?

Uh, yes, I already linked to the original Sammobile page in the Note 3 thread... About two hours after the leak.

Ah, no, two days ago: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/11/another-claimed-samsung-galaxy-note-3-photo-leaks/
But I doubt it, really, They've already sort of said to go with the S4 design, so...

Looks a lot like the xperia z =/ At least we know they won't get sued if sony agrees

6.3" is the Mega, the Note has already been confirmed to be 5.99". The picture's a fake.

I don't care. I want the Note3, but have over a year left on my contract for the S3. I will just watch and wait for now.

So do what everyone does. Buy the Note 3 yourself, swap over the SIM and keep the contract. So long as you don't swap to a phone that requires a different data plan (Blackberry and Apple require a different dataplan than 'Everything else" here. Blackberry costs you 18 bucks a month extra for some reason.) you should be fine.
I hate having carrier-given phones. Not only do they come with all sorts of extra bloatware. (T-mobile apps, for instance), but half the time they want it back after two years. Meaning if you do anything they don't like, you have to pay for the phone fully again in the end AND hand it over.
I just told T-mobile my HD2 had been in the bag I lost at Schiphol Airport.

definitely one of those top class phablets, can't wait!

The screen size has not been confirmed yet. i was thinking they released the Mega as a test to see who would by the Bigger and smaller version of the phone and market the Note 3 that way.. just some thoughts

androidsas.com/2014/09/samsungs-android-l-update-status-report.html

Hmm, if it's true, then we should be seeing a leak on Sammobile soon I guess...

Again where is i9505???

Dec 2014 ETA for I-9500 so probably March/April 2015 for I-9505. We are still on 4.4.2 officially. Samsung traditionally slower than an injured camel with OS releases. Last Samsung phone I will ever buy. Overpriced, cheap materials, slow, battery faulty too often and laggy.

Go buy nexus and stop crying then...

Hope this is true
I really hope the S4 gets the Android L update by December !! I dont know why Samsung didnt update to the 4.4.4 version for these devices! Why so much of a delay in releasing the updates. It's still stuck on 4.4.2 for most devices.

Testing? how it can be
and since when samsung is this much fast

i just hope whenever i9505 gets L we also get new touchwizz

Mature.

Well i am sick of people writing same stuff for million times ,nobody is forcing anybody to buy samsung or any other phone...If somone really likes updates/clean ui nexus should be their choice,but imo samsung isnt that slow in updating their phones compare it to other brand phones maybe not the best but not the least either...i just hope when they update to L we just get newest ui ,art and performance updates

I think Samsung and other manufacturers will make fewer modifications of pure Android, this will speed up the updates.
Google wants the ecosystem is characterized by UI, example is the Android TV and Android Wear
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...r-oems-here-are-some-of-the-interesting-ones/
I think Google wants to close the year with a marketshare of Android L as the largest evolution. The manufacturers should have received the Dev Preview build and maybe other's internal and Google have forced manufacturers to release updates sooner

This is the problem of samsung always delay in updating firmwares. Very fast when it comes to accepting our payment but very slow when it comea to updating.

Why do you want to wait official L from samsung
If good devs will come here we will have Pure stock L like nexus

Because sometimes devs need sources from samsung too.

Also the i9505 has Google Play Edition
The ROM can be ported to stock i9505

Who would want Android L with the TW skin on it.. This would take away the point of having android L.. It will be the same laggy experience all over again.. Just wait until the source is released and let the developers do their thing.. Just have patience
Me Gusta!

Can I help you with development? Write me a PM if you want. I have university exams now but I'll be glad to help you. Porting CM13 to s7 edge was one of mine projects for this summer!

Unfortunately, it almost certainly will. Not to take away the achievement of the OP, but like all Exynos CM/AOSP builds, it will never be properly stable, and I doubt it will ever be usable as a daily driver, even for those who want CM so much they're willing to sacrifice the features which made this phone worth paying a premium for in the first place (camera speed/quality and edge features to give two examples). Unfortunately, this is the price we pay for having a phone with a closed source SOC. Quite simply, Samsung don't want non-TW roms running on their devices.

If the right developers get on board...this does have some potential to be a relatively decent build...however it's a hard task to get all important features to work & well. Stability is the key for a daily driver (oh it can be done) but past experience says that it won't.
Great Achievement none the less....but I hope I'm wrong in that it won't be stable and thus to be used as a daily driver.
May be proven wrong......only time will reveal all ?

Don't be to negative. The galaxy Tab S2 which is also an Exynos does already have a nice CM13 build. Also official nightlys.

It indeed can be done. I was running a decent build on my old Exynos Galaxy S2 back in the day. But as you say, it takes a long time to do and when it does get to the point of being stable it's normally as a result of a team doing it, rather than an individual. And all the main teams have walked away from developing for Samsung SOCs after Samsung went back on their word to release the source code around the time of the S2. I can't remember the last Samsung Exynos mobile phone that had a stable CM build. It might have actually been the S2.
But good luck with this. As an ex-serial flasher I might even try it out at some point.

Well said Beefheart & agree with you.....oh and we are not being Negative....this can't be ascertained from his or my post. It's realistic and perhaps even motivational ? it's experience that says it won't be as said alot of great devs have walked away from the thought of CM on a Samsung device.
We both mentioned that we hope that it progresses ....so their is NO negativity whatsoever......it's just a long road yet to be travelled and will it get to the point of Stable?

Quick question: How did you guys unlock the bootloader on the S7 Edge?

Sounds good, but i hope that's gonna be different than s6 developpement

I'm super excited about this news!!!!!

It's all great and i really appreciate that, and congratz on that because it's really hard to do it, but i got really excited when i saw this on my s6 and nothing usable and stable ended happening and now that i have the s7e i feel it will just be the same thing.

Well, since they're Snapdragon devices...maybe not.
Unfortunately it appears that Samsung and Apple pretty much dominate the tablet market. The Pixel Tab should release some time this year but it appears to be WiFi only.
