True dat, but by now we should all be used to pretty much every manufacturer/carrier lying about update dates.
HTC does it the worst - I remember when ICS came out on the Evo 3D - First HTC said it would be Q1, then they said "early 2012", and then "sometime spring", and it finally came out in July...
Don't forget out carriers taking their sweet sweet time bloating it up...memories of the epic and froyo/gingerbread are rushing back to me

The delayed ICS update for the EVO 3D was the worst. Good thing the devs had some great ICS ROMs working way before the official one was finally released.

HTC should no longer be talked about in the same matter as Samsung. The 3D was a flop and more of a headache for sprint and HTC to give it the ICS upgrade, but out of necessity (thanks Virgin Mobile) the upgrade finally made rounds.
Now back to Samsung and its most successful phone, one should expect Jelly bean to make rounds much more quicker then what would history would tell us.

I think Samsung is controlling the carriers' options for bloatware this time around, and you'll likely see less bloatware with these updates. Most reviews of the Galaxy S3 comment on how there isn't as much overbearing carrier influence on the phone to begin with, especially when compared to the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II phones.
I learned not to be hopeful about updates with my old OG epic, I expect Official jellybean around now of '13.

I was like that, but then I had the GS2 for a while and noticed updates came faster as the hardware becomes more universal. With the SGS3 being so similar across carriers, I feel like the time periods may become closer like how the Nexus is. Their is some lag for CMDA, but with so little variance they aren't accounting for one with a keyboard and other strange variations. I think the main delay with the SGS2 was the recovery being attached to the kernel and the emmc bugs.
The devs here should have some great TW ROMs based on the international update so I'm not too worried about it.
Thanks for the info
Im not trying to get to excited about this since it never happens like we want it to but I am crossing my fingers.
Hopefully sooner than later
In BUCK We Trust. GO O's!
Hopefully steps it up due to the success of the S3 and doesn't drag their feet on Sw updates as they are known to.

went to a sprint store and the sprint representive said the EE03 for the epic 4g was a fake and was not the real gingerbread but a covered up version of 2.2 froyo is this really true????
Lol are you serious? The guys messing with you
xDDDDD. Wait you were serious? Sorry.
He's messing with you man. EE03 is a leaked version of 2.3.3, it most certainly NOT 2.2!
No. Otherwise Netflix wouldn't work on it. It is NOT an official release but a beta version. There will be later versions before it is released.
i can't speak for others, but IMHO the devs in this community know more than 99% of "Sprint store" employees about what is going on with the epic and with gingerbread.
Have you tried running the leaked EE03 rom? it has some functionality to it that is definitely an improvement over stock EC05 froyo, but also definitely a little way to go before a fully functional gingerbread release.
on a different note -- anyone hear about the progress of EE19?

sounds like they just wanted to try to sell you a new phone. nexus s may have some things that are better than the epic (like being a purely google device), but with these gingerleaks here and the real gingerbread on the way the epic is still the best phone for me.

I Totally have to agree the epic 4g is clearly a better phone if you screw up with it or something i have always been able to reset it and sprint techs not even having a clue i did that.
So, I work for sprint and I can tell you that xda has more info than we do. They don't really tell us much at all, xda would have info up for weeks before they officially tell us anything. Kind of funny

me too, love it.
ii was bored with my phone, so ii decided to look for a new launcher. surprisingly, there arent any new ones worth trying. so ii said to myself, lemme check out Launcher Pro. got to the app page, and realized it hasn't been updated since May of 2011. why, you ask? Because the developer died in a car accident (or so im told). since this is the case, does anyone know how ii would go about gettin permission to edit and improve the app that changed how we see our launchers today?
Where did you hear that? I don't see anything in the launcher pro forums
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Would LOVE to see LauncherPro resurrected, but i just don't think it is going to happen. As far as the developer dying in a car crash, I didn't see anything regarding that either.
ii saw it on a few comments on the interwebb. dont know how true it is tho. ii hope thats not the situation is, but that would definitely would explain the sudden halt of production.
I dunno man, seems pretty active on his twitter account to be dead.... https://twitter.com/fedecarnales
EDIT: He also updated Uber music on july 29th, 2011. Looks like he's doing some work on Windows Phone 7 though.
Are you sure somebody didn't say "it's like" or "maybe he died"? The activity halt on it was sudden enough to definitely make people consider something of that nature for sure. For some reason I seem to remember my phone updating LP not too long ago, then again maybe I was dreaming. Who knows.
It was open source if I remember right. Not sure what license it was under though but maybe we should grab the code, update it, and rename it to 'XDA Launcher' or something like that
I really hope is claims this month of "Still working on it," are truthful. I hear LPP is completely incompatible with ICS.
While ADW and Go have some nice features, both of them result in sporadic lag on my phone.
Same here with other launchers, nothing but problems eventualy. LP is the only one that worked rock solid all the time. Hope someone updates it soon. Myabe even add some new features...

Awesome! I read a couple of places that it was broke and was sad. Now I am happy. lol
I saw on the lp forums the other day, supposedly there is an update, it just isnt released......I didnt look much further into it, but for those who care, might go look for it
The last I heard he's very much alive and well but he's running way behind on what he had hoped would be a major overhaul of the launcher. Still, it would be nice to see some minor updates to keep up with the latest apps and phones.
If there is an update, I would like to see the ability to make folders in the app drawer. It gets kinda cluttered, with a bunch of apps.
I remember reading a while back that updates stopped because it was as perfectly stable as possible and the dev had other stuff he wanted to work on. Heard about an update being made but taking longer than anticipated. This was back in November so I may be remembering wrong
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
What's really fascinating is that there hasn't been an update since May, and its STILL considered one of the Big 3 of launchers.

I think that there is a quad core HTC one s coming out for the Tmobile line of phones. Anyone getting it, more undoubtedly there is an gs blaze being released add an addition to the galaxy s series of phones which is a hype looking at how we already have an original s and s2 all this does is make the galaxy s team further.

Do you really want to stay on the samsung boat? Android 5.0 is going to be launched this year, and youll have to wait 4+ months for an update again. When i jump shop, its to a phone with a running non-beta CM9. Its clear this phone has nothing in terms of CM and waiting till summer for ICS is simply pathetic on Samsungs part.

That's what I'm saying. This will probably be my last carrier subsidized phone period. Waiting on Samsung and then waiting on the carrier is a joke. This phone has been a big disappointment. I like the phone, but its like the red headed step child of the galaxy phones. This along with the skyrocket. I stopped waiting on ICS a while ago. Samsung is so hush mouth about updates. Makes you think they will do anything to get you to buy another phone. No thanks Sammy.
When we finally get ICS it will be dated and the next best thing will be out. By then the gsII will be yesterdays news. Google really needs to be more like Apple with updates. They are starting to leave a bad taste for me. This may sound like a rant but its true.

Asus has been quite good on updates with their current devices. If they keep that up id consider asus products in the future.
But at this point, im so sick of the android fragmentation that its either gonna be the google phone, or an iphone. Windows phones are starting to look more and more tempting to, specially with Windows 8 coming and whatever integration they have planned.
Even the google phones might get screwed on the CDMA side, and my carrier is CDMA only.
But its become quite clear that they havent finished ICS for the intl GSII, and probably havent started ours even. The CM team has nothing either. Have heard rumors that Cyanogen himself uses a T989 but i really doubt it, cause wed have an alpha at least.

Been using wp7. For the last two 1/2 months and although the apps aren't there yet, its been a refreshing change from all this ICS mess. Once T-Mobile comes out with a 4.3 or higher screen size, I will probably make a full switch.
I miss some of my apps and games though. Then again my ps3 takes care of the gaming issue. Wp7 runs so much smoother. Its nice to take a break from android.

My guess on when we get it? 8/15. That's when Samsung has their big event scheduled for... the one where, the rumors suggest, is the Note 10.1's coming-out party.
If I was Samsung, I think I could do worse than announcing Jellybean is now available for their flagship device (nominally of course- still would be a few days for the carrier rollout to occur).
In fact, if I was Samsung, I'd have my speaker up on stage, and right at the end I'd pull an "Oh, and one last thing...", you know, just to mess with Apple

FYI, my last three phones have been Samsungs, so I recognize that when it comes to updates and Samsung, optimism == insanity Still, I'm holding out hope that it'll be a LITTLE different this time around, at least as far as Jellybean goes.
I can confirm thst Sprint/Samsung have not made a Sprint jellybean build yet
It'll be very exciting when the update happens! Hopefully it'll occur some time before or right after the new iPhone gets released, so that I can still brag to my Apple friends how cool my phone is.
I worry that Samsung will strip out Google Now, replacing it entirely with S Voice. But I hope Samsung will come to their senses, or at least allow both side by side.

Yeah Samsung should have both S-Voice and Google Now. That would be really cool.
I think that Sprint will delay this update. Look at the Samsung Nexus S 4G. Google released Jellybean for the global Nexus S and every other version of the Nexus S. Sprint has delayed the Jellybean update for the Nexus S 4G.
I came from the Evo3d with all the ics hype and they are just now getting that ****. After that mess I don't believe the talk anymore, but hopefully we do get this soon.

Samsung went about 2 months without rdfs before we saw the first ics one on the s2. Also, they could be building it now, it just shows up on Sprints site when it's being tested.
Hopefully they're building it now and will have it being tested soon.

Not liking the page because the thread title was misleading.

No longer supporting devices past 18 months, pretty simple idea.
It would have been good if Google made a demonstration of how Kitkat is capable with the lower end device, e.g. Gnex or the NexS.

This. How can they claim as has been written that it makes lower end devices work faster if they don't make it available for any of them?

Really? Cmon man you know damn well the developer community is now and has always been an important part of Android. The community will do just fine without Google providing anymore.
no petition on this planet will change google rules. 18mth... end of support.

I have the feeling this will be the case for awhile. However, like models in the past that have been EOL'd the developer community tends to dwindle as they move to a newer device so I'm thinking in about a year it will be time to move away from the GN, maybe...

I agree. I think it will be sooner than later though as most the developers of the ROMs I have been using all have their nexus 5's. Not sure what to do myself as I'm unlimited Verizon and no newer nexus device available yet.

I fear that is the case already. I am not seeing a lot of movement on the 4.4 ROMs out there, the threads are not that active, and it appears that hardware (GPU) is blocking real progress in allowing 4.4 to be stable on the GNex. I rolled back to CM 10.1.3 which has been rock-stable with good battery life and strong signal for now, and am under contract until June before I can upgrade without penalty.

Point taken, but my comment wasn't about patience, it was about volume. The traffic just appears to be less than in the heady days of JB, for instance. Fewer posts IMHO means more people moving to other devices. I hope I'm wrong!

This
While KitKat is said to be able to run on lower-spec devices, this doesn't mean every phone ever made will begin to receive updates, nexus or otherwise. Will the HTC Hero receive KitKat? What about the Evo 4G? It has 512mb ram, and should run it just fine. This update was created to get rid of Gingerbread from the entry level devices being sold in developing countries.
