When we can expect Android L for I9305? It's possible with this architecture?
it is possible BUT its way too early to know,, android L hasnt been completley finished yet
One thing is sure : Not from sammy , CM 12 or others yes it's sure when it would be released but for sammy the I9305 is already dead
Omg, guys, we don't have official KitKat, what is more, we have JB 4.3 which works like... doesn't work well enough. And Do You think, that samsung will provide android L for I9305 ?? I don't think. Will be great if we will get fully workinkg CM11 or CM 12(?) Based on android L.
Sammy just abandoned this model of premium phone.. For sure my last Sammy phone
Its Sammy way to say to customers: Thank you fot buying my expensive phone... Its the best... Next year is a obsolete machine buy another.
My next phone will be a Moto or Lg.
Bye bye Samsung.

haha LG will be ****ting bricks after hearing this, more work for their crap lazy developers
LG run too fast...with the imagination
lol sad this is I still love my LG Optimus Black over my GS2, Droid Razr, GS1
Its a shame as LG phones have great hardware and look good , Obviously becoming the No1 Android device maker isnt top on their agenda , how can someone run a company without wanting to be no1 , really confusing to me as im a successful big business man myself
Awesome news indeed. But being a LG OB user, considering i just updated to 2.3.4 two days ago : I wanna say that LG users would get the update in summer 2014... But i think we all know we won't be getting this update. We are lucky if we get stock rom for ICS..
And i wanna say something to LG. Instead of trying to make unrootable roms pay attention to your customers. Or you are gonna lose them, no doubt. Like i bought the phone because of those crappy LG applications. Went a little out of the topic sorry. I just had to get it out there. As i said awesome news. Android forever.
I know its nothing personal but Google has a way to make me feel I am behind with the OB

actually jelly bean is *optimized* for tabs. not *restricted* only for it.
it's going to dual boot with chromeOS.
and as of LG, rest in peace, they will not support OB for jelly bean.
ideally, manufacturers give "1" version upgrade to the cells. however, LG is having 2 upgrades for the cells. maybe they will take time, but yet, it's good.
Google is also pressing tablet makers to make android 5.0 dual boot with Windows8 , with a builtin toggle much like the Xp mode toggle that is in vista and Windows7
Lots of reviews are now saying Icecream Sandwich is going to flop this is because of its availability of course
I bet we should be buying new phones when this release kicks-in... takes a year for LG to update...
I doubt it... for OB will be in summer 2013, like gingerbread update...
i doubt even the LG X2 will see jelly bean update
will be for 2012 released phones only and even then will be 2014 for them

LG x4 HD announced today with Icecream sandwich preinstalled , now this phone might get Jelly Bean android 5.0 update , what year ? now that is the question lol
Hi everybody. I've already checked the various threads but the answers don't satisfied me. I want the Samsung Galaxy s Advance and I've the chance to buy it for 250 euros. The device is perfect for what I have to do (the only drawback is the RAM, because I wanted it to be 1 gb). Anyway, my question is: is it good to buy it now? I fear that it will not be upgraded anymore. I've another question: should I wait for new devices coming at the MWC? Any release date? My budget is limited to 250 euros.
Thanks in... advance
Sorry for my bad English
Look Bro.... SGSA may not be that popular or might have some bugs but what it does have is a damn good processor and gpu
...... Given the price range..... Also we have a small but good developer team which have released kernel and roms which are brilliant...... Also SGSA HAS RECEIVED JB update and it runs like butter....
This is all I can say the rest is up to you as you are the one who is gonna buy it not us.... But if you buy this device you won't regret that you invested in this piece
IF I HELPED PRESS THANKS!!

thanks. I think I'll get the Advance. So I hope xda developers will continue rocking on this device!
I don't mean to discourage you or anything but if you are looking for a phone with atleast 1 GB RAM then you do have an option to get S3 Mini instead... its 250 EUR now and it has the "same" hardware as the Galaxy S Advance - only thing that differs is that this device has 1 GB of RAM.. and S Advance has 768 MB instead...
PS: The 4.1.2 update for S Advance may be the "last" official update from Samsung... but on other side the S3 Mini may even get 5.0 update..
But I'm SATISFIED with my S Advance... if you do the "proper" Tweaks and Modifications then this phone might get too fast for you to handle
Warning: If you are planning to buy a Galaxy S Advance then make sure its i9070 and NOT i9070p... The "P" version is the NFC version - here on XDA only one developer has this and that too is bricked... so you might not get any dev support if you own a i9070p!!

I Think we might get future updates....as our device is equivalent to S3 mini......and it is a recent release also!!
if S3 Mini can be updated(i am asuming it will go to 4.2 or larger) i dont see a reason why our model wont be?
But that is just MY perspective!
Don't buy it if you expect development.
It's a solid performer but nothing more. I came here from a ****ty, low-end htc device that had more development done in a month than SGSA since it had it's own subforum on xda.
So for the time being you can choose from:
1. JB update X or JB update Y - both provided by our hefty russian branch :>
2. two custom kernels which do have some bugs and glitches (but hey, nothing's perfect right?)
Device was released nearly a year ago. Do the math.
The only reason i would recommend you to avoid samsung smartphones is problem with keeping dialer and sms applications locked in RAM. So far i have not seen the device (from ancient devices like spica or i5500 to s3) that manage this properly without custom rom (@official samsung software dev's wtf?). So i would probably go for LG/Sony

Neither s3 mini or s advance will get 5.0 that much is assured. Only note 2 and s3 have the hardware to run such a hefty(I'm assuming after seeing the RAM eaten by JB) so it doesn't really matter whether s3 mini or the advance is depends on personal preference only!

I don't we will get 5.0 update.. maybe S2 may not also get it.. S2 and our phone may get 4.2 update and that would be it!
But I'm just guessing.. the rest depends on Google and Samsung
discussion about future OS's is almost irrelevant for this topic. you cannot expect from any mid range phone to support many future os's so this won't help him with his dilemma. IMO only relevant thing could be that samsung usually don't support AT ALL models older than approx. 1 year, in favor of selling newer, more expensive models. which is not the case with some other manufacturers

It doesn't really matter what updates will samsung release, that I've learned while owning an original Galaxy S. The last fw officially relased to it was GB 2.3.6. Right now it rocks Jelly Bean 4.2 stable. (yes, of course CyanogenMod ^^)
It's quiet an old device, but still, the dev support is amazing! And do you know why it's possible? Firstly, sales. More than 10 million sold. More popular device means more devs, usually. Secondly, it's hardware is identical to Google's Nexus S which received an official Jelly Bean and that means source codes released in timely manner to work with!
As for the S Advance, the only problem is popularity. It was an awful mistake to release it with gingerbread instead of already long available ICS. This repels users, who are interested in tinkering with their phone. This means only those few people (and to whom I thank their efforts) are here and capable to do anything with development for our device. Honestly, the list of roms and kernels are short.
On the other hand the chipset is quiet popular and I'm sure other handsets with the same chipset will help somewhat to keep this device up to date for as long as possible.
Cheers!
Hi everybody!
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
What would you suggest?
Are you happy with the I9070?
I am a bit worried that you do not have many ROMs available - while I8150 has plenty of them and good developers, just to name one, arco! - and it seems to me that the I8150 is not very widespread...
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, tx.
The number 1 advantage in s advance is good value for money and good specs for that price. If specs are your only concern try s3mini . It may be costlier but has more ram. As regards s advance, now after Jb update development has picked up and we do have at 3 least good custom ROMs and other mods. CM10 official may come soon and there will be more ROMs based on it.
But if you are buying a phone now look for something newer as Samsung mostly won't release next android update for advance

@ Sadvance: I surely agree with the fact that I9070 seems to be good value for money.
I would go for S3 mini (although I prefer the design of I9070 actually!) but paying 100€ more for having 1GB Ram instead of 768MB is not justifiable imho.
Are there other significant differences between S3 mini and I9070 (I cannot find any other)?
@R_a_z_v_a_n: what do you mean?
Should I look for the P version since it also has NFC reader?
Or should I look for the normal (i.e. NOT P version) because it seems to be more widespread?
Tx a lot.
Hi all, first of all sorry for my bad English, not my native language.
My question is if any developer is working on some android L port for moto X
I'm just anxious to have the new version in my hands
regards
They released "some" source for it....so ports are probably going to be tough until its officially released and the source code fully.
Thanks
I may be incorrect tho. Lol
I don't have any interest in anything unstable. Well, L may be....but too many apps don't work with it. I used L about an hour and wiped it.
I'll wait for official release.
Dear all , i bought my lg flex with a jb everythin . Was awesome after i upgraded to kitkat im experiencing heat problems and battery drains issues before on jb in the end of the day i used to have 60 % now like 10% i need ur help in those 2 questions
1- should i downgrade to 4.2.2 and if i do that can i have the kitkat camera .apk cz its better
2- rooting will help that much and how to on 3.4.0 kernel
IM holding a D955 version
Thank you everyone in advance
This.
This is why I don't understand why everyone always wants software updates.
Even now, people are talking about wanting android l on their note 4
Guess what people, all updates bring is pain, and the wish to roll back, until next year when you buy a new phone, that was intended to be running the newer software... but even then, they want the update!
Then, the people who want updates are told to buy a nexus, because they are always first for updates. I bought the nexus 5 on day one, sure, I could run the Dev preview of android L if I wanted. .. but it's not complete, it's not the true version of Android L, and in all fairness, it's been almost a whole year now, and in all fairness, The only real appreciable update I will have had all year, is when I get android L on a nexus 6.
Even almighty apple can't do updates without having it break their older phones. Bottom line is, you want an update, you buy a new phone.
You are absolutely right with what you said .. i think the same way but before updating it they said it improves the battery life like 3 hrs ... it was a mistake anyway im on 4.2.2 again from the early morning till the moment im 47%...

Anyone else frustrated with Samsung for not supporting their products properly? I have not gotten a single update since a few weeks from launch and the tab s can still be sluggish at times. Unfortunately this is still the best android tablet that can make calls so I don't really have a choice. Hopefully Samsung can smoothen everything out with Android L
*waits for android L 4 months later* lol. They have so many devices to update each and everyone. Awell at least we got some custom roms!
Samsung is very cunning when it comes to making their hardware obsolete after a few months. They update the phones to the newest version of Android but make sure to leave out visual designs to make it look old.
You're a bunch of cry babies. Patience is a virtue. ? will come..
I guess by 1st quarter of 2015 well be getting lolipop
