yes we all read that earlier
your a slow rss
Wild guesses thats all ... plus releasing a phone just after holiday season ... nah you don't need to be an expert to understand that this is a wrong move ... especially for flagship phone ...
Might as well give our s4's away not even a year before the new gs5 comes out. What load of crap! Goodbye Samsung support for the gs4

That's Sony. HTC is doing same, but not Samsung.
I mean would be completely stupid to do so, like someone else said , after new year? c'mon, worst time ever.
Plus they would kill the S4 and Note 3 sales completely.
Might be true. I might be even interested, if they plan to do a decent exchange offer for the S4. Frak, I spent 600 bucks just couple of months ago....!
Lol and then S4 will be abandoned (?)

Lol, i wonder if samsung could be that stupid

Makes perfect sense. S4 sales are not meeting Samsung's expectations. So they want to introduce new phone.
Also isn't S4 was announced 10 months after S3. And same thing happening here. They are announcing S5 ten months after S4.
S3 was announced in May 2012 and S4 was announced in March 2013. Which makes S5 announcement near January 2014.
Samsung going to mess again... with its SoC Lol

If they do abandon it, let's say completely, don't forget the level of talent and the amazing work that is being done and will be done here on XDA! Let's not be hysterical here yet.
They need to step up their customer support but we need to be level headed and cool about things also.
We'll have kitkat, and who knows what happens after that!
And remember, even if samsung vanished overnight, you'll still have a lovely phone with a beautiful screen and lots of great apps to use!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
So if that's the case, looks like we will see S5 and S6 both in same year.
This is bull$hit
Samsung is going on the wrong way...
I was really excited about the new sgs5.. but I think I will sell my s4 to get the Nexus 5.
Too many headaches recently
I do not know what this stupid policy, but Samsung from bad to worse. Samsung company that wants only money
how come? the S4 really sucks, i mean the battery life etc., i think samsung need a saver to beat rivals

So... I was on the Negri Electronics site about to buy this beast of a phone and I think, maybe I'll look at one more review. So I pull up the verge and I see this:
http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/7/9/3146268/lg-subsidiaries-quad-core-smartphone
So they are planning on releasing a new quad-core 10+ megapixel phone in September?... Bgr reported essentially the same thing. Thats only two months away! I hate to be a spoiler of sorts but this is crazy. I can't believe that weeks after they finally release their new flagship they drop this bomb on us. I'm glad I didn't buy it but at the same time it makes me kind of sad because I really wanted to love an lg phone again. Guess I'll have to wait until September

It is RUMORED to be announced in September. When do you think you'll be able to buy it given that the Optimus 4X HD is not even released in more than half of the world?

HEY...that's too cool, honestly I thought I'd never see this kind of 'argumentation' again...but here we are. During the 80's we had this running gag 'Don't buy today, tomorrow it's twice the power for half the money!'
I really advice u to wait. Not until September because I heard a rumor that in December...or perhaps January... Stay tuned!
Quad core Krait S4 Sounds nice but i'll stick to the 4x for now. This won't make it into store till December at least IMHO.

Yes this is a great phone for all matters. 4g is nice but only a concern if your carrier provides it. Only one here in Australia does, and they would not be my first choice of carrier based on previous experience.
On another note: How is LG in regards to rooting and and flashing custom roms? Coming from an older Galaxy S and first generation tab, I would ask for a comparison in regards torooting and flashing Samsung devices. I know how valuable good dev support is.

Easier than Samsung but do not expect development by lg at all. So that's the advice and ask all the lg owners, I got 6 different lg phones non of them lg update released yet, custom roms on every one. Of them or I'll still be in 2 with 1.6, or 2.2 in the others it sucks but is easier than Samsung for sure no counters or any other weird stuff

LG already released an Update for the 4x, it was 2 weeks after i bought this phone.
And they are working on the next Update (V10c).
So i think LG want to make things better, and so far they do!
I've had the N7 for less than a day and I'm head over heels in love with it. My next phone will be a Nexus for sure.
Useless thread but I just had to share the love.
If everyone bought Nexus devices because of the prompt updates, it would kick other manufacturers into investing in larger software development teams to deliver updates ontime.

As long as there is a choice I will always go for a Nexus, can't be bothered with manufacturers' customisations and carrier restrictions. Whether the Nexus or similar concept will go on indefinitely is another matter.

If profits at Google fall at some point they may take resources away from the hardware side and concentrate on the software side. Wouldn't like to see that happen but can't be discounted.
If, as seems likely, the Nexus 7 becomes the top-selling Android tablet other manufacturers may decide to withdraw from the sector as they can't compete against a company using consumable sales profits in the Play Store to effectively subsidise their manufacturing costs. Alternatively there could be some form of unfair competition or monopoly complaint. Hope not but wouldn't rule it out.

Seriously, thank you for this.
I was worried when I first came on the Nexus sub-forum, that there was a lot of negativity and issues. And granted there are bad experiences with every first run of any product.... but this is the first phone/media device purchase that I have actually been fairly content with it out of the box. My phone (Samsung Vibrant) I have gotten tired the last few months of flashing it weekly since I bought it.
Of course, I am bound to run into things, but I felt the same way clankfu

The solution for the OEMS is to keep stock jellybean! To differentiate, include new or different hardware or form factor etc. Then put exclusive apps or features that don't require a change of the system. You could have the play store check for something unique to allow the product download or something. That way there would be no problem keeping it current.

If you can get your hands on it, buy nexus 4.

For the price, I was thinking about waiting around for nexus 4 8Gb version: I don't want to spend more money... but.... will I have to wait 2 more months? 3 perhaps? That's what's making me doubt: If I knew I would be able to buy it next week, I would wait.. but 2 months... it's something I would have to think about....

The price is too much.... I want a device with good specifications but what I mind most is that it should be fully open so the devs can release updates until the hardware gives up.... not until they find a difficulty like an undocumented chipset, having to stay weeks without sound, missing functions... etc etc....

While the nexus 4 is awesome and aosp is awesome, you will not find the custom ROMs to have much variation. On my sensation we had sense and aosp, but on the nexus we have aosp and we might get miui whenever that comes out with 4.2, but that's about it. If you love aosp, go with the nexus. Otherwise get your device with your bloat of choice.

Yes, we know... but there is a slight problem with the stock.... as you know....
If there were no problem with it, many more people would already have it...
The good thing is that people is starting to get a bit smarter:
-They are starting to reject the enslaving carrier contracts offering way overpriced phones in exchange of years of slavery with them
-The search for bloated-free phones.
But what google & LG are doing with the availability of the phone is really unbelievable....
Would suggest waiting for the S4, if you can. The reason is that with the Tegra 4 and Exynos 5 out, it wouldn't take time for the quad chips the current phones have to become a thing of the past. If you want the newest technology then wait. If not, buy a Nexus 4. It's the best money can buy.

I don't want to spend 600 euros on a device.... 300-400 is enough.... over that, I think is overpriced.... it's paying 200 more euro for 400 mhz more.... in the end.. I think it's not worth it.... unless you are a tech geek that needs to have the latest device.
I prefer something more modest but efficient..... A SGSII is fine nowadays: All the daily use apps work and it has the latest CM available....
If you want to play games with your device, it's another story... then, it's mandatory to look into which graphic chipset is built into the device and so......
People talk about nexus 4 as if it were so easy to get your hands on one.... here in spain it has been sold out like since always.... and, as I can read, there is little hope of getting one in the next weeks..... so, what am I supposed to do, hang on to my galaxy spica (it's my emergency/replacement phone) until the end of 2013? :crying:

Unconfirmed leaks on other sites have it pegged for carrier release in January. Plus time for them to add their BS and we're looking at late February at the earliest.
But don't get too excited about it. The devices that have received it are all missing various features. Some don't have the transparent navigation bar, nobody's getting the Experience Launcher, etc. Makes it sound more like an incremental update than anything groundbreaking.

This is what has me excited. Pure vanilla Android is ugly and devoid of features. Adding Samsung's features is what makes Android at this point. Looking at KiKat on a nexus has me patiently waiting for KitKat to drop on my S4 with all the Samsung additives. Thanks God for the additives.
And Samsung reps are not BestBuy employees. At least that's how I understand it. They do not work for BestBuy but Samsung.

True. But the vast majority of users here don't get paid to sell electronics. Too many Sprint, Samsung, Verizon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc, etc "reps" don't know much about the products they sell.
Ever go to one of those places and know more about their products than they do? Most frustrating thing ever. If they don't know about their own products, how the heck are they going to know about OTA dates?

Just went by best buy to pick up a neo and they were out. I was told by the guy working at the samsung kiosk that they were discontinued. Anybody know if there is any truth to that.
Can't say it wasn't coming. All the buzz is for android wear right now and Samsung is killing off tizen(remember bada anyone?). I like my g2n watch even after using the grear live for a little while. Something about a physical button. Kinda wish there was support for porting wear to the neo as I don't want to talk to S-Voice all the time.

I would wait for some kind of real confirmation. Dude couldve been going off a rumor or something.
With Gear S coming next month I can see this coming but as of now i would wait for something said by Samsung

But the gear 2 neo uses Tizen...android wear Is **** compared to tizen as far as available uses..
Luckily I stopped by sams yesterday and they had a few neos left so I picked one up. I was looking online to see if it was discontinued and I saw one other person also say they heard it was discontinued and strangely they were told that by someone from best buy. I know the guy at my best buy said he was surprised when they pulled them off the shelf because they were fairly new and still sold really well.
I cam not sure I agree with tizen being killed off. Wear is nice and I might have gotten a moto 360 of the battery would even last a day, but samsung is about to launch gear s with tizen and they are getting ready to launch tizen phones.
No way is samsung killing off tizan they are just hedging there bets and backing android as well and tizan. Remember the watches from samsung have been released about every 6 months so stock of the gear 2 should now be depleted ready for the gear s to take its place.

WOW thanks for your first post to be one to correct me, hahaha
Don't feed the trolls!
I didn't know the Gear S wasn't Android Wear. That's a bit comforting and gives me hope that our watch will still get updates. My speculation was based off blogs reporting on Samsung doing away w/ it's OS for Android.

Well hopefully they fix whatever they messed up in the last update. Not only do i not receive notifications on my Neo but the battery only lasts a day now compared to the 3 i usually get

My Neo died. Had geek squad protection, so I threw down a few extra bucks for a moto360, as they had no Neo in stock.
