Samsung has released a list of devices that are scheduled to be updated to Jelly Bean. Missing from this list is the Captivate Glide. Oddly enough, they've chosen the Galaxy Chat (a phone that clocks in with a single-core, 850 MHz processor and a 1200 mAh battery) as the qwerty phone to update. (Indeed, all the phones to be updated are "Galaxy" phones.)
Source: The Verge
If our phone can run ICS, it can run JB, Samsung can't try to blame TouchWiz in this case like they did with the first Galaxy S when they said that the phone was in fact capable of running ICS, but not with TouchWiz, in our case, if the phone can run ICS with TouchWiz, it can run JB with TouchWiz.
So, please, Samsung, enough with the BS, and start working on JB for the Glide, I don't want to have to wait till 2013 to get the proper JB Source Code, because, that's the only thing that matters for me, the Source Code with the propietary drivers, because, let's be honest, who the f*ck wants JB with TouchWiz on top of it ? I want pure, stock, unmodded, untouched, vanilla Android.
It's no surprise, really. Doing ICS for the Glide has proven to be a hell of a lot more work than they anticipated and it's only sticking to their word that's keeping them at it.
We WILL have Jellybean ROMs of our own. There's no important kernel differences, it will come in time. Have patience, this is a ***** of a phone to develop for.
If Samsung Galaxy R gets Jelly Bean, then there's very, very good chance that we, me, and you will get to have Jelly Bean OS, just it's difficult to develop something that work, due to the difficulty of dealing with the useless digital blobs. It's like building a house without the foundation AND excepting it to stand.

Aren't updates for carrier based phones dependent on carriers (in this case AT&T or Rogers)? So Samsung won't comment on those phones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't At&T make the initial announcement last time for ICS?
That is one thing I hate about Android, the updates and not getting them.I must admit my next phone may be a nexus as those always get the updates since they are the ones Android is developed for. I may have to say by to the hardware keyboard and replace it with a Bluetooth keyboard case. Till then 2 more years with my glide and what ever little updates that intakes.

LOL I actually hate the proprietary phones much more. They are 100% useless if you are looking for a phone that you could customizable. I perfer Android more than any other phone OSes (personal perference).

Nexus is running Android. It is the phone Google makes all its builds for. Nexus is fully customizable as well.
I know Nexus is an Android hardware, in fact I wish I can afford to have this (pretty expensive - $400 to 1,000 depending on how "fresh" it is on the market and what's inside it).

hello d man is working on a custom ics rom for us. once he has finished that project he has promised us a jelly bean custom rom as well. so dont panic, the dman is to our rescue. I can tell you if you are expecting to have an AT rom for jelly bean they will mes that one as they did with the ics rom update. So i wont install any att rom from samsung and will wait for the dman to provides his custom rom and will have no more at bloat ware and it will bea vanillia experience of android ICs and Jelly bean since he is working with pure Android code from google AOsP, and AOKPA. If i am spelling these short codes names.

I thanked you accidentally. The Galaxy Nexus is actually selling for a pretty reasonable price on the Google Play store, I think around 350.
I see. There are MORE than one Nexus out there, though.
BTW, I think you can remove the thank.

Thanks for reply, I am currently using xperia pro, and would like to shift to glide because of better hardware spec. How would to rate glide and associated experience. Is it worth switching? Keyboard is real concern here else better spec phone alreay available in market.

Keyboard's nice, yes but also the USB-OTG, dual-core CPU and OLED screen were the selling point for me.

haha i was about to say the same thing but yeah, dman (the guy behind every good rom) has promised a jb rom for our phone. im so excited that im pretty much checking the forum 5 or 6 times a day.
YAY! Been looking forward to have Jelly Bean version of Android.

Greetings.
I was switching from an MK16i, and i have to say it really worth it! The Captivate Glide beats the Xperia Pro in every aspect, except battery life (it's roughly the same).

galaxy s had no better hardware.
We have that much.
the xperia j is a low end phone than arc s but it is getting jelly bean

They're not testing on the arc! That was a hoax - someone used a custom ROM (based on 431 f/w which kind of gave it away) with the Android version hard-coded to 4.2. They visited a few Android sites and waited for people to spot it.
I hope they will fix ICS to be smooth like GB i don't care about 4.1 JB.JB is nearly like ICS just some more addons,so...
I just hope they fix ICS 'cause i'm not happy with it,it's laggy,camera lags,it's not that stable.So at least give us a proper ICS if not JB.

Goodbye Sony
I was planning to buy Xperia T but when I see their approach to the customers, probably I'll move to another brand. I think that all 2012 Xperia phones get update to 4.1 sometime in 2013 and it will be the last update for them - same as now for 2011 Xperia phones which got only one important update - GB -> ICS.

When i bought my first phone it was ericsson,then sony ericsson and i loved those phones,but sony ericsson sucks at updating firmwares.I'm thinking my next phone will be other brand no more sony if they continue giving us updates like ICS.But is still hope and think they will give us one more update,wich will fix most of bugs.Still hoping.
This sucks! ICS is a real battery drainer and more laggy than GB.. only reason I don't use GB is because the sound lags when running through Bluetooth speakers.
I am trying to save up and buy one of these phones off of eBay and plan on rooting, installing a custom rom, and sorts. I just want to make sure I buy a phone that I will really enjoy.
Can all bootloaders be unlocked?
Is there a CM9 based rom which has emoji support built in, all of my friends have iPhones but I'm a major android junkie.
Does the CM9 rom still have good PS1 gaming performance?

You have to get unlocked bootloader for custom ROMs and at version can't be unlocked so no. I would recommend getting a newer android phone they're the same or clos red price to iphone and have newer features.

i just came across the nexus 4 price drop... anyone else thinking about it? i guess even if google won't support the phone after 18 months life cycle anymore (which is 9 months from now) - it shouldn't be hard to get the latest droids to work.
Idk Google said its a android version for everyone so hopefully low end phones can get it

Thats means the rom need some adjustments from the kernel. Or maybe build gone wrong.
What do you think are the chances are of Sony releasing jb 4.4 for our devices I mean our devices would be more than enough to handle it.
What do you guys think?
Would it still be possible even though Qualcomm has stopped support for S3 snapdragon chipsets?
None!

i think the same,there are no chance of getting android 4.4 kitkat.at the most we may get 4.2 or 4.3 jelly bean but there are only 2% chances :fingers-crossed: lets hope for the best.but we may get the taste of android 4.4 by great xda developers with less feature that depend on any new type of hardware
That's the weird thing 4.2 & 4.3 are said to be more hardware intensive than 4.4 and it is most unlikely we will get them for our devices.
Yet a lot of websites mention its likely that 4.4 will hit the Xperia family including the S.
What is also been said is 4.4 will or has been designed to run on aged out devices from:
512 RAM
Single low clock speed processors
And our phones come in the mid range of the Xperia family.
Which exceed the suggested minimum basic specs nneeded.
I wish Sony could just say yes or no wether it was possible as I don't want to upgrade as its only been 6 months since I got this device it's ggood but I was surprised how quickly this was shunned and newer devices came out from Sony.
When I see Z1 released with 4.2.2, 4.4 for XS is just a dream.
Sony must sell Z1 as new flagship and it certainly won't update and support 2011/12 device anymore.
I would like that, of course but that won't happen.
I'm trying to find unlockable Z1 in Croatia - I really like that device.

Screen isn't really bad it's great HD screen but some users reported that they have that stupid yellow tint over screen.
And that's extremely annoying from Sony.
I'll buy it but only and if I can check it first (I already arranged that).
There's great little piece of software for screen testing so I'll use that.

you will receive even 5.0 if came out.. But stability may be problem.
Anyway, i am on the way to upgrade to Z1.
I believe 4.4 will come some time later.
Some expert in XDA will make it. But Sony wont
remember snapdragon has stopped supporting s3 cpu that's why there's no kernel for jb 4.2 and 4.3
yeah experts in XDA are making it now but i dont think sony cares about it
Our lovely Xperia S is now an orphan. Only users care about it
The performance can definietly do 4.2 4.3 or 4.4, but sony just want us to buy new phones
I saw this in some site.. Can someone translate this.. I think we may get 4.4.. :silly:
