Android 5.0 in Q2?

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57379186-17/android-5.0-jelly-bean-launching-in-q2-eh-maybe/
It's all over the news, but really seems to be rumor at this point.

It wouldn't surprise me if they announce it at Google I/O but I doubt it would be out before Q3.

So just straight to 5.0? Nothing in between? Yeah I'm calling BS. Sure eventually there will be a 5.0 just as sure as there will be a MacOS Duckbilled Lion-Tiger-Bear snow something or another, WWIII, and Modern Warfare 12. That doesn't mean that's what will come next. There is less than a 1% saturation of ICS. What company in their right mind would do something that stupid. There's no way in hell Android can compete with iOS if Google pulls a move like that. Didn't they just get through saying something about dealing with the 'fragmentation' issue - this in no way will help that cause.

There's been two (or more) major updates to Android every year since its release.

This is about as much BS as a cow herder has seen in a lifetime. Some people just make up fake news to get publicity.
I can see this maybe happening in Q2 next year. Maybe... And the qwip about it being optimized for tablets- isn't that what Honeycomb and ICS are for? What optimization ??
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy S II

They are just calling it 5.0 now, google hasn't confirmed anything to my knowledge so I bet you it will be something like 4.5 or something in between. Though it could be 5.0. Not that it really matters either way, it will still be a new update.

Just like what they did for version 3.0 and up... Its only for tablets
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Yes, Honeycomb was tablet only, but now that they have unified everything with ICS, I don't see why they would break it into two separate versions again. Seems kinda backwards to me.

The next scheduled and/or rumored release is/has been dubbed, "Jellybean" -- however, that doesn't mean it will necessarily be listed as the fifth generation of the platform.
Perhaps, 4.5 or something in between.
Think of what was being suggested for the release of Gingerbread... folks thought it was 3.0, but they were wrong.
Besides, Google did state that in order to prevent further OS fragmentation, they were going to "slow down" production to 1 major update per fiscal year.
And look at the facts involving those of us with ICS being considered the 1%ers, that wouldn't be in their best interest to continue progression, while leaving those who are yet to receive ICS on 3rd generation Android handsets, behind.

Telus SGH-T989D ICS update possibly very soon.

Another speculation topic. Yes I know.
But Telus has a reputation of not labeling something as "Coming Soon" until it is right around the corner.
Remember, Telus doesn't add a lot of bloatware to the releases they get from Samsung, so this could be the real deal. We'll see shortly(hopefully).

It is not a rumor, it is not a rep its an official Telus statement on their official website, usually when telus posts coming soon it arrives within 2weeks.

This will very likely come out before tmobile version. Does anyone have ubuntu and a t989d in canada?

I hope this is true

If we're playing the he said/she said game, then Samsung said the ICS update would come in Q1. Then, T-Mobile said ICS would come as close as possible to Samsung's release. We all know how that has turned out. So I'll believe it when I actually download the official release. Until then, everything is hearsay and should be taken with a grain of salt and a cocktail.
However, that being said, I'm confident that a carrier OTHER than T-Mobile will release official ICS for our SoC variant first.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Haha, this forum is full of impatient folks fixated on instant gratification. ICS will come, so just sit back, relax and wait. Im not jumping into the skyrocket leak because I dont want to have to deal with the issues or trying to make it work 100% on a slightly diff phone.
2.3.6 works just fine for now, and seeing as how the phone will live more of its life in ICSville, its nice to use GB for now, stable and decent batt life. It will be like getting a new phone again when it does roll out! Just wait guys...its just around the corner, remember and cherish these last days of Gingerbread lol

Telus website has had ICS - COMING SOON on for S2X for couple months now. Your post is absolutely pointless.

You can either choose to sit and wait for it while trying to make sense of all the rumors or you can simply move on.
I have been waiting patiently for Samsung to at least let us know when they are planning on releasing it but, alas, it has not happened as yet. Thus I have just obtained a Galaxy Nexus and will be getting rid of the 989 tonight. The software fragmentation is killing Google and it's souring me on Android release after release. From Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, it has been nothing but a big fiasco with these updates.

This thread is pointless.

So what. Whats your point?
So what happens when telus doesn't hold up there end of the deal? Do we start another thread?
All these ICS rumor,fact,fiction,he said ,she said ,whatever you want to call it thread have been taken down for a reason.Cause there pointless and thats my point buddy.

If i remember correctly, April last year is when official Gingerbread was released to Telus devices, So it could possibly be the same time frame for the Ics.
I remember it was His desire hd because i was already using a custom gingerbread rom on my desire.

if it doesn't get released, can we start some war with telus for false advertisement

[Q] Samsung or Sprints fault?

As you know we dont have ics source yet for our phones :/
but other samsung phones like the GS2(AT&T) and the Note are already using ics.
So my question is, at this point, who is to blame for our ics not being released?
BTW, if im wrong about something, tell me cause im kinda new at this

Samsung controls the source code and the ROM.
Sprint only controls if we get OTA update.

Historically, update around 6 months after the new android is released is normal for sprint android phones. Takes longer for cdma phones because GSM gets worked on first due to the much larger user base

Could be that Samsung won't officially release ICS for the epic touch until S3 is out? The could be copying what HTC does for their devices. Release the update after a new model is launched.

Is it really that big of deal. We will still be getting ics before a lot of other devices and some devices that came out around the same time won't get it all. Samsung/sprint don't even need to release ics for this phone. I am just happy we will be getting it at all. It sounds like its very close anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

There are good reasons why ICS hasn't gone OTA just yet... And in the end it will be a win for everyone. Those that have been working on addressing bugs and trying to ensure the major ones - like the "superbrick" or eMMC bug - are addressed before OTA are doing so in the hopes that our release is the best that it can be.
But don't take my word for it... Just look at the most recent threads in the General forum. You will see the effort that the XDA community, Samsung and Sprint have put in so far to have this roll out with as few issues as possible.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I really dont understand why everyone is complaining so much about this ota update. Some variant of ics has been available for this phone for months. Its been fun to flash the leaks and try out various roms with a stable gb base to roll back to just in case. Samsung and Sprint could have dumped a decent ics leak on us several months ago but they decided to work it a bit more and give us some 4.0.4. If you want ics now then flash el22, its awfully nice.

Question for all you experienced custom ROM installers: is there a custom JB rom in the wild that has everything working? I've been thinking about JB since it came out, and now I am reading that it might be another few months before we have the official T-Mobile version. I am finally tempted to root and do a custom rom.
So, is there a fully working, stable Cyogen Mod 10 out there? I am not interested in nightly builds. I would just like the experience one gets from a Nexus phone that is running vanilla JB.
Thanks!!

I say T-Mobile because the article is specifically referencing them. I've gone through all of the recent roms created by great devs like DJIntrigue which seem to be quite ready for prime time so it doesn't make much sense that there needs to be more "months" for a final release. We're not talking usability here as I assume most of us root our devices but it would be great to have faster availability of the latest Android firmware in case we wanted to run that.

The problem is carriers want to add in their own apps and "test" the update for compatibility with their networks...not to mention the majority of users aren't text savvy (or rooted, for that matter) and the carrier doesn't want to be flooded with "I updated mai fone and it's no worky no mo'" calls....
We may want faster availability, the carriers want people to pay upgrade fees (and/or buy devices outright) and less headaches....

Dj's and Wild's jb roms are fairly heavily modified. The leaks they are based on are still buggy and horrible on battery life.
I for one would much rather wait a few more months and get a solid release.
Besides, I'm willing to bet that most who are getting impatient waiting for the official release will wind up going back to custom roms within a couple of days anyway.
Plus, with how good Frosty and XquiziT are, you could pretend its based of the official release and be just as happy! (If I wanted to blame anyone it'd be them for raising the bar and forcing Tmobile and Sammy back to development!)
I honestly don't get all the impatience. With how hyped some folks are getting over it I can only see them being disappointed! Then we get to read all about how lame Sammy and Tmobile are for not taking the time to make it better!

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Three weeks ago and no leak?

No leaks anymore from samsung period! For any device.
It'd have to be leaked from tmobile for us to get it now.
That's how I understand it anyway. If you follow the build versions, there would've probably been about 9 other leaks by now, had they kept their systems up like they were.
(Last leak was LI8, new ota is LIJ) 9 builds in between. Also I'm guessing the jb update must not actually be ready. (Maybe they found something they didn't like)
They seem to be doing what I expected with having another official ICS update before JB.
I could be wrong of course. Time will tell.

i think he's referring to the fact that the hardware will not be the limiting factor, and the t0lte will hopefully be kicking for the foreseeable future. my GS1 captivate ran 4.2.2 pretty damn good, albeit with a little OC'ing, thanks to the healthy dev community over there.
