So here is the deal.
Over the past releases of android Google maid a habit of teasing next android versions using the phone clock (see attachment). So I guess that this year at Google I/O we will really see a new version and that is 5.0. Hope it is something breath taking as it was with the Ice Cream S.
I am really confident that our beloved Nexus will get it.

i think the IO would focus on ANdroid Wear, there would be a low chance of seeing any android update announcement on the coming event,
looking here
http://techyneko.blogspot.fr/2014/06/lg-g-watch-to-be-given-away-at-google.html
you notice that the event would go highlight the G watch and Moto 360, though i wish there would be somewhat a teaser or something
Looks like the new Android version is called "L".

and maybe won´t be released on Nexus 4, the 18 months thing that happend with galaxy nexus :crying:
The new version is being tested on a nexus 4, so why shouldn't they release it for our device?

Goog generally builds most builds for every device, even ones that they have no intention at all of releasing for.
If you look at Source code tags and builds - XDA wiki at all the JRO03x builds, and then look at the individial pages and the beta rom list, you'll see that even though most build of it were for a specific device, they generally build them for every one they actively support and never release them except for the intended device.
If they decide to both:
Move down to 1 major update a year, and do it in the fall
Not change their ~18 months of major updates (with wiggle room for minor patches)
Then N4 won't see "L", at least not officially. If they do decice to do a major release (KK 4.5 even, doesnt have to be L), it will be the last expected major update for the N4.
We dont know what google is thinking though, nor can even they themselves know.
They dont actually make any formal statement on exactly how long they support a device

Devices may not receive the latest version of Android if they fall outside of the update window, traditionally around 18 months after a device release.

They could drop support for the N4 tomorrow if they wanted, or extend it so it gets "L" also, or even pick one and change their minds afterwards.
The fact that the GN didnt get KK has everything to do with the update window and nothing to do with the fact that TI stopped the production of OMAP SoCs.
Similar to how they both stated that "any official GB device should be compatable with ICS" and that they themselves didnt update the N1, it was beyond it's ~18mo support for major updates.
The 2012 N7 is already winding down support, when goog decided to start releasing binaries for master branch AOSP, they didnt bother including 2012 N7 binaries for it, as it would be ending support very soon (which likely will be 4.4.5 if they patch the towelroot exploit without holding the fix for 4.5/whatever, and 4.4.4 if they do not patch it for whatever reason)'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I myself do hope that they keep releasing "look ahead"/beta binaries and stuff for the n4, even if they decide to drop support for it by then.
If they do decide to not extend the N4's update status, having beta binaries is still better then not getting anything, custom roms like CM/what have you will have an easier time then if they had nothing like previous devices.
Its really sad, because the nexus 4 have the hardware to handle it. But custom roms will always be there.

Yes, but I don't lose hope.... I think Google, this time if it will set an example to reduce fragmentation.... I believe.
gnex didnt got the update to 4.4 because of its really old hardware(it´s gpu its from late 2k9), remember, glass also uses TI soc and its running KK.
also, i dont bet google would allow 3rd parties to have beta androids, so that device was probably a nexus 4.
what i dont think n4 will receive is "K", since by the ss of "L" that looks like 4.5
I heard it's only gonna be previewed, so there's a chance that it won't be available for download right away.
Btw, major UI overhaul leaked on the Quick Settings Tiles. http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...hauling-quick-settings-android-l-release.html Thought? I think it looks flat and almost like the Honeycomb days, also notice how it doesn't take the entire screen on phone :/

Google glass has native KK, and it uses functionally the same hardware.
It's the form factor on it that makes it different, the SoC on it isnt particularly exotic.
Also it depends on what your definition of "beta" is, goog regularly hands out builds that they themselves dont use (not as final release roms at least),
samsung/dell/lg/many others have had access to builds before they landed on aosp plenty of times in the past, builds that do not have official tags.
Then there's the obvious play edition devices and roms, they can't function without having early access to builds.
Given the critical hotfixes of KRT16S/KOT49H in the past, they too were effectively betatesting roms along with nexii.
In the relatively recent past, the GPE S4 had 4.3 leaked for it before even any nexii.
What if a new nexus phone isn't presented by fall? I think that we might get the L update, since the only two nexus phones to mantain will be the 4 and the 5
Actually nexus 4 might get the "L" update. Because Google usually stops the updates when the 2nd successor of the phone is launched for example galaxy nexus didn't get the update when nexus 5 launched and Nexus s didn't get am update when nexus 4 was launched.
Anyways I don't we should be the first ones to worry. Google should first end the updates for nexus 7 2012 then ours comes 6 months later.
And nexus 4 didn't launch in every country at the same to time like in India and Pakistan it was launched officially 6 months after the rest of the world so I guess we would still be getting updates.

Doesn't seem like there's any new features?
Apart from under the hood changes and minor UI updates, what is new functionality wise?
I really hope this Nexus gets the update or I will be truly gutted.

Yeah, I kinda hope they add split view for tablet and more features cuz stock is starting to feel boring when you see all those flagship phones out there.
As for updates, I wouldn't worry since just having the Nexus name is guaranteed support until the hardware dies out. Not to mention Nexus 4's spec is still in the high ranked ones till this day. Check out how far Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are.

Live stream of Google I/O here if anyone wants to watch.
For those of you who took the plunge and updated to Android 11: could you share your findings about this update?
Are there any hiccups?
How's the battery łife compared to Android 10?
How's the new One UI running for you?
And last but not least: is a downgrade to 10 possible if needed? Or is there a new bootloader to prevent this?
Thank you in advance for sharing your findings!
Could I get the android 11 on a cheap ass Samsung Galaxy A01
I found the update to be stable and not have any of the bugs that folks talked about online. No blurry images with the camera, no weird battery drain, wifi issues, etc... I did however notice that the visible screen does not extend to the top and bottom of the glass. There is an 1/8 of an inch black border of wasted space. Also widgets now have a margin around them and they do not go full width of screen. I did have one app that stopped working, Kin Screen. Otherwise, it's working.
Beyond that, the phone now looks too much like an iphone. i have the swipe bar instead of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen, the iphone volume control and even notifications and the lock screen scream iphone. I do not like like this and want to go back to android 10. I have taken a look online and am finding instructions regarding downgrading from android 11 beta, but this is not beta, it's an official update that Samsung pulled.
Is there a way to downgrade without deleting my data and apps?

Thanks for sharing, I'll stick to Anrdoid 10
Regarding the downgrade to 10 from 11, maybe this guide can help you. Since the home_csc is used your data should be safe, however I would definitely make a back-up of your important files, pictures, WhatsApp-data/files etc before flashing the Odin-files!
I found that I can reload the android 10 firmware via Samsung smart switch. The only hixkup is that, doing so wipes data. I have backed up the phone using idrive. I'm just concerned that when I reload fro. Idrive it might restore Android 11. I'm not sure what files get backed up. Maybe I will look into oden if I can reload the firmware without touching apps and data.
Thankfully I froze the OTA updater 2 months ago. No Android 11 for me!
Hello,
After moving to one ui 3/android 11 on my galaxy s10 exynos, I'm now unable to change the icon set on poco launcher. It always default to system icons.
Any solution to this issue?
Anyone knows if the low microphone volume on call still exits?
I have s10+ exynos version and this problem since update to ui one 2.5 or 2.0 i can't remember.
After reboot is ok, if i made a call more than 20minutes the problem appear during the call.
Currently i have voice assistance turned off, all bixby updates uninstalled. But still have this problem. I also installed app Sound Analyser and calibrate microphone it works but after some time happen again.
The other person, on call, ear me so low or cant ear me at all. This doesnt happen if i use whatsapp, messeger, skype, etc.
The problem is described here:
S10+ microphone problem
Hi everyone, the S10+ is one hell of a phone. Fast, reliable, simple great. However, in the past month or so, i had telephone issues. People couldn't hear me clear, they said i sound like im passing trough a tunnel. After it got updated to android 10, the problem disappeared for a brief period...
eu.community.samsung.com
and here:
How to fix my mic after android 10 update? - Android Community
and here:
Since updating to Android 10, the volume is very low, approximately 50% of volume before the update. - Android Community
Android 11 still have this problem?
If anyone know how fix this, on android 10, please tell share.
Regards
there are some small changes/feature removals that I dislike in oneui 3.0
1. mirroring screen with chromcast is not possible natively. You need to install a third party app or google home. However, google home does not allow for screen resolution change, which was possible with the native mirroring feature in oneui 2.0
2. Split-screen seems to behave differently. When you habe two apps in split screen and you swipe up from bottom (home button), the whole split screen setup disappears and you return to your homescreen. In oneui 2.0, it minimized the upper split screen app and return home screen only for the lower app. Maybe this was due to good lock multistar addon, but even with that some addon on oneui 3.0, the behaviour is different, in my opinion worse compared to one ui 2.0.
Recently I installed a double DIN Android 11 unit I picked up off Amazon. However, after a few days trying to get a feel for it, I’ll be returning it due to a laundry-list of reasons. Before attempting another model, I’d like to ask this community for their suggestions for a double DIN Android Auto Stereo.
Must-Have Features:
Physical volume knob. Physical "home" & "back" buttons are preferred, but not a deal-breaker.
Automatic screen dimming/brightening for ambient light levels.
Android Auto
Steering wheel control support
Backup Camera support
Budget: Up to $350 USD.

Great list! I had no idea there was an official sanctioned list. Thanks for this. I had been swimming through all sorts of Chinese "android auto" clones, and getting frustrated with claimed compatibility which was totally bogus. I'll look into this list and see if I can isolate my selection a bit more.
