Hmm, there were few threads you could adjust your dissapointment. And if you just want official then you were never had to root your mobile. There are good JB ROMs in development thread (yet bugs but in development) and those are good hands to wait till they dont give up. BTW had you ask any 1 here befor buying OB ? So why telling us about selling. Its not ebay or amazon.

Remember to create another thread when you actually buy another phone to tell us how much better it is.

Why does everybody find the SII good It is honestly not that good!! It's screen is oversaturated, to the point when your eyes can't stand colours anymore, and you would prefer to see in black n white
Well the official release will definitely come SOON, but we just don't know when... probably end on October npw. I would recommend you to wait for the official ICS and try it and decide whether you really want to change rom...
If so, I would definitely recommend you to take the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... It's just way better than SII... Since it's a Nexus phone.. It will be a potential candidate to obtain AT LEAST 3 major updates...
It was released with ICS, then got Jelly Bean, and will certainly get the next android version.

lol...stop eating his head guys
don't create a new thread mate, didn't you read what the mod said?

Thanks i'll consider it...

Buy Google nexus if you really want a smartphone that always first to receive updates to the operating system.
Samsung galaxy nexus II, LG nexus optimus G and HTC nexus 5 is coming...

those are rumours but still might be coming out
i'd suggest wait one month more, prices will fall

As I said. Take Galaxy nexus loL! It's newer, have a better hardware design, really good design... one of the most beautiful phone IMO.. Only downside is that it doesn't have SD car slot I think...
If I knew the Galaxy Nexus before the Optimus Black, I would, without hesitation, take SGN

Droid 4 will get Jelly Bean OFFICIAL

Android Police article
Not that most people here are really bothered since you use the custom ROMs, but now this means there will be an official Jelly Bean template to make a sweet CM JB ROM off of.

Hopefully they won't cancel the upgrade.
Do you think we will get 4.1 after 4.2 is released?

Agreed. They might keep their promise, but most likely release 4.1 long after 4.2 is already out.
IMO they need to quit bowing to the carriers. Make their handsets according to the original principles of the Open Handset Alliance - fully open source, fully unlocked. If the carriers don't like it, tough, let them make their own damn locked phones. After enough consumers get burned by the lock-in, they'll all start choosing unlocked phones.

I ordered already other device, not sure if I'll 100% move to it, but I plan to get rid of moto after that happened with my previous device motorola photon. I couldn't wait more and decided to try droid 4. After this politics I plan to go out of moto once I'll find good device. Hope, that found already.

I'm posting this from a D4 on Jellybeans but I'm still glad to hear this. I think it will go a long way towards making people feel they can trust Motorola again, which as we can see from a few other posts here many people do not.
The real question in my mind is, what will come first, the DROID 5 or the official JB upgrade? What I want to see are updates the drop shortly after AOSP does, not a year later...

Motorola says that the Droid 4 will get jb some time next year. I'm sure it will be around the same time the five comes out. The sad thing is that the five will probably just be a razr m with a keyboard ):

At this point I would be happy with that. 4.3 in screen + S4 (AKA the Photon Q)= fine with me.

The main Droid line, like nexus, was supposed to stand for quality and top of the line specs not this last years tech and rebranded bs that it is now. The keyboard is the only thing the series has going for it

I don't mean to change the subject but which ROM are you using? The cyanogen 10 has no camera, Bluetooth issues, and crashes (not that I'm complaining, I'm grateful to even have it), but I thought that was pretty much the situation for all of them at the moment?

I'm pretty sure this article was labeled as untrue rumor. Android 4.2.2 won't be a the next codename of android. I'm pretty sure we will be getting JB 4.1 since that's what Moto promised to us earlier this year. Honestly, I don't think any devices with less than 2GB will get Android 4.2 other than stock Android devices.
It's been a good run the the D4, I'm pretty happy with CM10 on here right now, much less bloated! I just miss the power off animation (CRT)...

[Q] Are you happy with your phone?

I am about to order a new phone in next couple days and still thinking between Xperia and GS3. I know there is new generation of both coming soon, but I would upgrade anyway at the end of the year.
1. How is performance?
2. Signal quality?
3. Build quality?
4. Rom development?

Carrier-branded phones usually cannot be unlocked officially thru Sony's dev site. Get it from retail store and it's unlockable easily.
Tapatalked from my TX

1. How is performance?
Using wifi connection at home I do not find using the phone slow compared to a i5 desktop, so I would say great.
2. Signal quality?
Similar to my work BB Bold
3. Build quality?
Good, but I have not pressed the (power) button(s) lots as the phone is new, so usage is still low
4. Rom development?
I have nothing to compare it to, but the chaps here are all knowledgagable and Greg maintains a useful thread with links to many ROMs
I could get the s3 £100 over 2 years and maybe I would go for that (got this phone last week, and the s3 offer came on the w/e). But now I am happy putting that money towards the next upgrade.
Also this phone is a bit smaller, which is good.

Thanks to all, seems owners are quite happy with it which matters the most. I have seen some unfavorable reviews on the net, so that was a biggest issue for me. The only thing about this phone might be that the development seems a bit slow. I am used to switching between stock/cm/miui roms and first and last are not updated that often (we are still waiting for Sony's JB and MIUI is outdated at this stage), and generally the development thread seems not to be very active.

I switched from s3 to TX a few days ago. Sony's interface is fantastic and is 100x better than Samsung's touchwiz.
A minimal amount of bloatware and is very close to vanilla android IMO, anyone agree with me?
Development of cm in s3 with exynos are suffering many issues due to Samsung not providing sources to developers.
I don't like the jump from ics to jelly bean in s3, it seems like Samsung can't implement buttery smooth ui and just kept adding bloatware. Even galaxy nexus ui is faster than s3. Although multi window is nice.
Build quality is definitely better on Sony and TX feels like a premium while s3 got too much plastic.

Yeah, also the exynos exploit which a simple apk can root which was discovered by xda poster. Basically, there's no support for exynos devices but US s3 is fine since it uses Qualcomm chip.
Slow update by Sony is worth it I'm sure. Not some fast update by Samsung and HTC but crippled os and can't implement jelly bean properly IMO. Ics is fine also in Xperia and satisfied with it much faster than touchwiz lol
You should properly get a T if you want more development but for sure TX will get cm10 also.

Lg nexus 4 is it a true beast

When lg saw its flagship optimus is not doing good they put the boards on the redesigned nexus 4.
The on screen keys made the display even more narrow.
No memory card
No replaceable battery with a small battery
No OTG usb support
Is google blind to give the nexus franchise to lg or are they too scared of samsung???
Google is scared of those who supported its android, me waiting for tizen ir ubuntu. Fed up of this android and its update issues.

Hahaha well in the next motorola X google put an sd card and made u all a fool by selling u the old crapy LG thing in the name of nexus.
Think with a cool mind. Do we really needed the jelly bean. What difference is there b/w a vanilla ics and vanilla JB. just some butter smooth thing. Which they coukd have tweaked on the ics with a minor update.
You people who are buying nexus in the name of googles fast updates will learn soon that its just a gimmick. Now talk about other vendors
Like htc, samsung and sony, atleast they put some added features on their devices which are mire useful than the stripped android by google and soon this new flavor craze will be over.
Let the motorola X come after 2 months and then u people will feel cheated. I agree they have a low price tag but just to sell the crap LG has made. Thats why soon people will move to windows or bb10.

Don't quote me on this, but won't the Motorola X be 2x as expensive? I love this device because it was so cheap to buy, yet has the performance that just blows away your Note and most other phones on the market. Now, go back to your GNote forums please.

AW: Lg nexus 4 is it a true beast
This Device is just a beast. My girlfriend owns the SGS3 and I have to say "Hell yeah!" the colours are awesome, the Samsung stuff looks funny and so on.. But for daily use I prefer the N4. Its smoother and there are not tons of features which I just dont need. If I miss a feature, then I can say, I got a Nexus. I flash it. I just like Android, also for business tasks.

Bull****. My nexus 4 is completely stock and I have no intention of ever rooting it. Runs like a dream. You're just p*ssed off that your sh*tty Galaxy Note doesn't have official JB yet. You are probably also annoyed that your stupid Note had the defective eMMC chip which destroyed the phone when you tried to load up some sh*tty hacky ICS rom with a broken hacky HWComp.
Anyway have fun waiting til March aka December in Samsung's calendar for another buggy 4.2.1 leak. Have fun with bindowsphone and RimjobBB10.
And get a job so you can buy a new phone and not have to walk around pretending your broken Note is actually working.

[Opinion] nexus 4 vs S4

the nexus 4 is a great device, and im sure the Galaxy S4 will be nice also.
I realize this is a Nexus 4 forum, but my question is this; is the s4 a worthy upgrade from the nexus 4?
please shout off below, and I will give thanks to those who deserve it.
and there is a poll up top
curtis
------------------------
I totally forgot about the HTC one XD
that device is also pretty slick (maybe) so also give opinions on that phone too maybe?
thanks!
curtis

By the time S4 becomes available the N4 will be over 6months+ old; this is a long time in phone tech these days.
For me the performance improvement isn't enough considering the time gap; just wait another few months for the real next gen.

Just ask yourself one question. Can you live without timely updates? Also, cyanogenmod devs are not going to be buying the s4. If I can find the source I will post it.

I feel you may be right, the s4 specs are good BUT there not anything spectacular. if anything its a minor update (in my opinion) to the S3.

Its a shame, but these companies noot to make unlocked bootloaders and easy to root, rom and flash
I dont do rooting or anything, but i understand the frustration from all you rooters...as I was with my verizon galaxy nexus

I haven't even rooted my n4. I've never been happier with a device.

if you like buggy stock ROM´s, even more buggier custom ROM´s, missing source code, no original development ... go for the S4
I´ll stick to my N4

I feel you may be right, the s4 specs are good BUT there not anything spectacular. if anything its a minor update (in my opinion) to the S3.
how would you see the HTC One?

Agreed it's not worth it at all, I had the S3 and I am never going back to plastic. The only thing I would get is the One, and that's if it gets S-OFFed. Honestly, I am 100% happy with this phone, I'll wait for the next nexus before I even consider anything else.

Honestly I my self am not impressed with the new changes to the s4(meaning most of the "new" features could have been a software update on the s3). I've owned the entire galaxy line accept the note family and just switched to a nexus 4. Samsungs got a lot of bug issue within there phones as well as hardware issues Samsung has really began to become the iPhone of the android world honestly I would wait to see what Google has in the works in there upcoming press conference before making any decisions then you have the three to choose from being the HTC one s4 and maybe a Nexus 5. Coming from a previous Samsung user and the experience I've had with there products I would not go back and for me personally as well nothing beats stock android and always getting an update weather your phone is 2 years old or 2 months old. Well that's my 2 cents take it or leave it and have a blessed day.

Samsung needs to stop trying to re-invent the wheel. They are are adding too much crap to the phones in the form of Samsung made social media crap, media players and other proprietary software.
If they don't add clean simple features then people will lose interest. When I bought my S3 I was fumbling around trying to find out how most of the new features worked, only to find it cumbersome and counter-intuitive. What good are features if you never use them?
