Anyone waiting for nexus 5 while skipping N4, Sony Z, HTC one, S4 and anything else i

Taking about GN being a great phone with great Dev support. I am finding my self skipping two generations of android phone with out any regrets, namely s3 now to be s4, and nexus 4.
Anyone waiting for the Nexus5 before thinking about upgrading?

Let's wait for my phone to break, don't have the money to keep buying new phones.
If KLP lags on the gnex, i'm going back to ICS..

Me waiting for the next Nexus too. Currently I don't want to change, because I am more than happy with that

seriously? ICS was laggy as hell.
It depends on a screen size (and free funds to spend of course ). If the screen size is 5" or bigger I will consider N4 of HTC One.

How about jellybean? That helped with almost all my ics lags.

I agree I just traded my i9000 against a gnex and I am more than happy

I hope the next nexus will be from HTC. Their build quality never disappoints. But for now I'll stick to my gnex..

Never getting anything but nexus devices when it comes to android. I also skipped the nexus 4, imo upgrade wasn't worth it.

And anyways, whatever new features are announced in KLP will be made for the next nexus in mind.

I am, however will depend if it comes to sprint. Have a great employee discount can't switch carriers

Probably going to switch to the one this summer.
Really liking the design of that phone. The s4 just seems way too big for me and I would rather have a longer phone than a wider phone

The One will be my next phone if it comes to Verizon. I just want something with build quality like the One or iPhone.

Here here....current galaxy nexus owner and future nexus owner. I have a sprint gnex and a nexus 7 and I hope sprint gets the 5. My wife has an I pad and an iPhone 5. Swear not because I own android but I think as far as development and hacking go, apple doesn't come close

My upgrade is in September so I still have some time to go. If Google comes out with a vastly improved nexus without a recycled design from another device. By vastly improved I'm talking about Camera quality, LTE, full HD screen and battery life. Sure I'll go for the nexus 5 but if they don't improve all those than I'm going to contemplate jumping ship.

Hmmmm...Nexus 5. If you'll note, the current nexus lineup are all named according to the display size. For Google to add a 4th nexus device to the lineup is unlikely (to much to manage), so the best guess is a refresh of the nexus 4, possibly by another manufacturer, and probably later in the year. What we can expect for I/O is a refresh on the nexus 7 (with the same name), and possibly a non-nexus device from Motorola that runs stock Android.

I think we could expect a new phone as well. Considering that key lime pie is a major update, there is bound to be new features for phones not just tablets. So they will be probably need another device to show off the new features of the new build. I'm doubting they will use a nexus 4 as a demo device, its already fairly old news.

Yea but they first launched jellybean on the gnex when it was already 8 months old at the time instead of bringing out a new phone to launch jellybean with.

I didn't see a date. I am freaking out trying to understand this. Is the Note2 ready to update? Kies doesn't recognize my phone and the OTA says no update...

There are several articles about a leaked update file from Best Buy that announce 4.3 upgrades to several devices. Here is a link to one:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/25/leak-samsungs-american-android-4-3-and-galaxy-gear-update-release-schedule-for-the-galaxy-s4-s4-active-s-iii-and-note-ii/
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and got my upgrade yesterday via OTA. It appears the leked schedule is accurate so far on the first update.
Good luck hope you get your upgrades on time, it brings out all the capabilities of the Gear.

Nexus 7 (2012, 2013) And Nexus 10 4.4 OTA starting

Okay, so this happened: Android Police: Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 OTA
Hopefully it won't take long for us now

Yay! I have my Nexus 4 rooted and have the bootloader unlocked running stock ROM 4.3 (JWR66Y) with TWRP recovery flashed and LTE enabler flashed. What is the easiest way for me to update to 4.4? (either through OTA or flashing the 4.4 ROM/update)

We are the next hour by tomorrow nexus 4 gets kitkat

OTA Updates won't do you no good, even if you receive a notification with rooted stock, it'll most likely fail.
Either flash back to bone stock (no root, no custom recovery) and hope you get it soon, or wait until someone gets the N4 OTA, rips out the new binaries and compiles a new ROM with them from scratch, which you then can flash via CWM/TWRP.
Personally, I choose the latter. Also, do read the article in the link, it explicitly states that only the N7 and N10 have their OTA's rolling out so far, the time specified for our device is still "soon".

Ah, okay, I didn't know how familiar you are since you only joined this year ^^
I have a penchant to explain things in long-winded posts, it's a failing, I know

Google clearly said it, "Screw you Nexus 4."
Plus Google is always following the same Apple model. Wtf would they keep Google Experience launcher and Transparency limited to NEXUS 5? See the picture. Nexus 7 running 4.4 OTA doesn't have GEL or transparency. SERIOUSLY GOOGLE?

That's the problem. I don't see why not. Been using it on Custom ROM for 10 days. Works fine.

for me 4.4 will be the 1st stock that will not use, GEL is one of the best features from 4.4(looks like from N5) so the 4.4 update will be just to get custom 4.4 roms less glitched / more optimized

Tomorrow is November 13. Didn't I hear there was a Google Search update coming on November 13th. Since GEL is pretty much powered by Google Search, I am guessing GEL can get on devices tomorrow. Just a guess. If it is true, I win a cookie.

That actually makes sense, maybe the reason google didn't put it in the factory images for other nexus devices is because they're going to roll it out through the play store, as the google search update

Plus, it was also rumored to get rolled out though Play store anyways. Everything will come together soon enough. We just gotta wait.

Agreed it will come after few fixes and may be with 4.4.1

The build number for the N7 and N10 is KRT16O that is different than the N5's.

I miss JBQ.. The OTA is being pushed to those devices, yet there are no factory images for those devices.. Such a backwards rollout.. These things are supposed to go hand in hand.

How long will the 2012 Nexus 7 be supported?

How long do you think before Google drops support for it and we get no more updates?

Even if they do drop support for it that's what places like this are for. I'm still rocking a 5 year old phone. Granted it might not be as fancy as the newer models out there. With custom ROMs produced by the fine people of this site it's still up to date as far as what OS it can run.

i think probably soon. htc one X with tegra 3 has dropped support saying nividia did not provide the driver. I reckon for the next update, google will probably say the same thing. Just like how they stop updating galaxy nexus with the same reason

They want you to buy newer models so updates will stop on any device.

There will still be custom ROM's that you can flash and it'll be compatible for years to come.
I've no intention of getting another tablet for a while yet I may get a chrome book next but I primarily use my Nexus 7, best thing I ever bought.

Google supports their devices for 18 months, so kitkat is probably the last update we get.. :-\

jonny68 got the point. There are KK roms even for the Nexus S so I'm sure we will be running the upcoming versions of Android on our N7.

Agreed....best thing I ever bought. Totally worth the money and when it comes to support.....I'm still using a 2011 HTC rezound running kit kat thanks to the developers on here. Our nexus 7 (2012) will get updates thanks to developers for quite a while still.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

As you know Kitkat is not compatible with Galaxy Nexus, a 2011 device...
I still think that new version of Android will be compatible with Nexus 2012 (I have one so I hope so too), but probably that was the last officialy version released for this device.
It could change if they sell a new Nexus 7 this year. If they do so... I think that they will drop Nexus 2012 support this year...

The official GNex was dropped not because of the device itself (KK runs fine on my gf's GNex), but because the SoC's manufacturer (Texas Instruments) closed its SoC division and so they stopped updating the drivers and Google wants updated drivers in every new releases.

As an owner of a previous Tegra device (g2x) I'm pretty aware of the vendor's level of support: None. Basically, once Google is done with it, nVidia will be done as well. So I wouldn't count on upgrades going on forever like we're used to with Qualcomm devices. Still, I'm getting one cheap as a backup for my N7 2013 LTE (which is in the process of getting a new screen leaving me tablet-less for now... ugh)...

Nexus devices usually get support for 18 months. So it will most likely kit kat is the last update for nexus 7 2012.

Android lollipop

I just seen android lollipop running on the new nexus devices from Google and my goodness is it beautiful.
Samsung would probably take a light years to give us an update so my question is With T-Mobile having a unlocked bootloader do you think we are going to get a full android Lollipop rom for our device?

I think Samsung said we would have it by the end of the year [emoji85]

They really said that? Hmm that could change my next phone. I was leaning more towards the Nexus 6, but I really like the Note 4. And 6" Just seems like too big of a phone. Even if it is only .26" bigger than the Note 4.

Samsung already has a beta for the s5 so I'm guessing that they have one for the note 4 as well
