Instead of an actual android release we get a jellybean rehash??
Makes the nexus 4 launch seem much weaker imo.
Why didn't they just make it version 4.1.3 if they were hardly going to change anything?
no, not peeved. dont even care about version number.
Seems enough for a .1 release to me.
People cry when they don't have 4.2, and now they cry when they do have it,

Says the person disappointed after listening to rumors of KLP and getting Jellybean instead?
All JB is, is what they envisioned ICS to be.....it could be 4.0.000000000009 ICS and I could care less. Google always puts out a functioning unfinished product and builds on it. I couldn't care less what the number is or what it's called..... They could change it to Goo OS 4. It's an improvement over the previous iteration with some slight tweaks. Bring on key lime pie is all we are going to hear for the next month's.... Were you peeved when GB stuck around for so long and had so many revisions?

It had nothing to do with the rumours, though please continue to assume......
After the launch of the gnex and nexus s, I was just expecting a bit more.
I never bought into the rumours like project roadrunner, multiple nexus theory, etc...

Well I think Jelly Bean was prematurely launched earlier in the year because of Apple's little legal buff when they stopped shipments of Galaxy devices because of "patent infringements" with the search thing.
Google released Jelly Bean months after ICS. So lets all be thankful that we've gotten JB MONTHS early.
Honestly I'm relieved about the N4 and 4.2. It makes me feel like my Galaxy Nexus isn't "old" news... when in fact it's nothing of the sort. Nothing really tickles my fancy and there are really no new features (hardware/software) that make me want to have it NOW. The N4 seems like a lackluster release.
LOL i laughed hard reading those comments.
My galaxy ace is still running 2.3.6 (we have working cm10 but thats not the point), and its not bad, but i would love t have a stock jellybean or even ICS.
And you guys are bragging about "just a minor" update? It gives you a bunch of improvements: (taken from wiki)
Seriously it's the best mobile os, and you still want MOAR? just flash a custom ROM and stfu
Photo Sphere panorama photos
Keyboard with gesture typing
Lockscreen improvements, including widget support and the ability to swipe directly to camera
Notification power controls
"Daydream" screensaver, showing information when idle or docked
Multiple user accounts (tablets only)
Support for wireless display (Miracast)
Accessibility improvements: triple-tap to magnify the entire screen, pan and zoom with two fingers. Speech output and Gesture Mode navigation for blind users
New clock app with built-in world clock, stop watch and timer
All devices now use the same interface layout, adapted from phones on 4.1 for smaller tablets (with centered software buttons, the system bar at the top of the screen, and a similar home screen), regardless of screen size
Increased number of extended notifications and Actionable Notifications for more apps, allowing the response to certain notifications within the notification bar and without launching the app directly

No not the screen but the fact it is pure Android. Boy do I hate manufacturer or networks OS glossy coatings or add-ons, I have yet to meet one I actually liked. At least on the Arc they are fairly light weight. The one thing I admire in iOS is that Apple don't let any of the networks muck around with their software, if only Google was the same.
The other thing related to this I like is the rapid update cycle, none of this lets wait around while we add on all our OS add-ons nonsense.

thats pretty much the only reason anyone gets a Nexus
Well apple has its own muck. Served the way they want to serve it to you. But yeah, the nexus line of phones are not the latest and greatest in specs and i cant figure out why some people think it is. The big catch all with google phones is pure android and the developer support it gets. Google gives a great base foundation to build on software wise and that im sure is a big reason so many developers flock to it. The latest phone still has some question marks on it but they will be answered. Bigtime.

The only reason I dumped the Nexus One was because of its reception problems, OS wise it was probably, aside from my Arc, the best Android device I have used. I bet in real life use the Nexus will feel quicker than the GS2, not because of its hardware but because it isn't bogged down with the ever lovely Touchwiz!
I got a SE Xperia X8 (big piece of crap, has kinda good (unofficial; damn SE) support; Nothing to do with current smartphones, even the ones of equal tier) and I really need an upgrade. I got mine just like... 6 months ago, less than that, maybe, but I already feel it being weak and crappy.
Anyway, I got a friend who has the NS (Nexus S) and it runs like a BEAST! It probably can stand up to the Samsung GSII. That's why I want a Nexus. It might not have state-of-the-art hardware, but it's surely WAY better than mine and it's a Nexus. The Nexus line has a huge back end, lots and lots of developers, not to talk about direct Google support and CyanogenMod versions. Most devices' CyanogenMod builds are ports of the Google Phones.
The problem to me getting it is the fact that I got mine sort of recently and the price. I might have to wait for a price cut, or not.
I think ICS looks really really really damn sexy. I like the enchanting blue-ish theme of it. If people get it from the release, there isn't going to be much to it. Just a new OS with a few bugs. It's like getting a Beta phone. But those bugs will be corrected in a matter of a couple of weeks, I strongly believe. It's still a great update.
It will take a while to see good developing for the GN (1, 2 months... maybe more), I guess. It's a matter of seeing what is going to happen. I kinda see the ICS as a re-vamp of all the previous versions, with some really cool features of course. I say it's a great advancement.
precisely. i will say, when the nexus one came out it leapfrogged pretty much everything out there. it seems to me people keep wanting another nexus one type of one up when it comes to specs, but in reality the fact that it's google's baby offsets a fair number of spec sheet "shortcomings".

Let's see. Gorgeous screen (FU everyone crying about PenTile), ICS, no external buttons, guaranteed timely updates, a developer's dream, it's a winner all over.
I don't care if it's not the beefiest phone, spec-wise. It's fully unlocked and built for ICS. Any phones that get ICS later will still have to deal with having softkeys that don't need to be there any more.

The Nexus One had was a veritable torrent of updates compared to other Android devices I have had. Also there didn't seem much delay in updates in geographical sense, in that didn't seem to matter that I was in the UK rather than the US.
=> USB Host feature to connect an external USB DAC, an external USB hard drive ...
and the large screen: easier to read
I will change from the SGS II to the NG because of this reasons.
-Pure Android (a SGS II stock ROM is mostly around 300 MB CyanogenMOD is 100 MB)
-better development base
-updates
-screen
-curved screen (I miss my Nexus S while doing a call the SGS II is so flat...)
Especially the pure part is important so devs don't have to fix the stupid **** from the manufacturers like a lagging browser when you deodex a SGS II stock ROM...
same reason here, to have the updates... coming from a ****ty LG...never, never again...
pure android... can't wait
Stock ICS & new hardware. I'd really like an external SD & 8MP, but hey, I'm ready to upgrade from my dInc.
My reason is that crazy sexy screen, and the development base here on xda. I know if there are any problems our great developers here will fix them and make this phone smoother than Google and Samsung could ever imagine.
Side note, so this CPU Max clock is 1.8, correct? Can't wait to have it running on that.
(Btw I buy extra battery's and switch throughout the day as they die. Why have a crazy phone if your going to be worried about battery life? Just put up some more $$ and have more fun with your phone...IMHO)

I thought you can get pure android on any phone thanks to XDA and that includes rapid updates. I usually go by the looks and the hardware, rather than the software, which I will replace anyway.
hi guys, just want to know if its worth the switch. also has the heat issue been resolve on this phone? thanks
What heat issue? And if you're coming from a sgs2 its not really worth the upgrade hardware wise unless you're looking for improved audio or want os updates. Really, you'd be paying for stock android and Google updates. Is it worth the price to you?
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
i heard there's alot of heat issue using the device, to the point of burning someone hand.
I made the switch and definitely think it was worth it, but then again, I am a software guy and love the options. It is a downgrade in hardware though, I especially miss my sdcard. Guess it all depends on which is important to you, hardware our software. If you prefer better hardware then it probably wouldn't be worth it.

GN isn't really a downgrade, it's more of a sideways move when compared to the SGSII. Processor power is similar, GN has a worse camera and no SD card but a better screen (HD) which is a huge improvement in my opinion (unless you're talking about the SGSII with the HD screen, which is a rare beast, not available everywhere).

This, it's a lateral-ish HW shift. I didn't dislike my SGSII, but I like my GN that much more. It's an overall smoother experience. I'm happier with the "small" things as well, the phone feels better in the hand, the button action is smoother, etc... I can't run Touchwiz any longer either, and who knows when Samdung will release kernel source for ICS. Probably long after they release a finished ICS.
People who expect impressive benchmark scores will be disappointed, the GN isn't as much of a benchmark queen as the SGSII (Exynos).
I came from the at&t sgs2 and couldn't be happier. I seriously am in love with this phone.

GSII will get ICS sooner or later. Unless you simply can't wait, there's no reason to get GNex when you have a GSII.
I went from the SGS2 to the Nexus. I don't have any complaints but technically the SGS2 is better. If I had to pay for my Nexus I would not have made the switch as there would have been no point really bar having ICS

Apparently ICS is scheduled to land on the SGSII next Thursday (15th March) according to one of the Samsung Facebook pages and the news site I was reading. Maybe add a couple of weeks(?) for network operators to push it out.

Go with the Nexus
I dumped my AT&T Galaxy SII for a GSM Galaxy Nexus and haven't looked back. Once you go Nexus you never go back.
Personally, I like my GN more then my SG2 especially find the design of GN more polished. Still got my SG2 but thinking of selling it...rarely use it though I do like some of the features from touchwiz!

Sold my gs2 i9100 a couple weeks back, and used that money to get a gnex. I was tired of constantly looking for a new experimental build for ics experience, and considering how quickly the gs1 was ditched, but the nexus s is still officially receiving updates, makes me more confident in this phones last-ability and value. Only downside is no SD card, if you are a serious media junky.
I sold my SGS2 for my Galaxy Nexus. So worth it.

yea i agree with you, i like everything about my nexus except the camera and the screen, i meant the screen of our nexus is great but for some reason i think GSII's screen look better. After i tried Amoled Screen i don't want to go back to IPS anymore.
Simply cuz I've read nothing but how jelly bean is gonna be the next HC. Tablet special ya get me?
But either way, I feel that Google may just not even update our Gnex to key lime pie either...
Nexus S and the 4g model barely got away with getting ota ICS. which I didn't believe we'd get either.
Guess I wanna see others opinions and sources if any that jelly bean may or may not be tablet specific.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It's way to early to speculate, but I can can almost guarantee you that Google will not release another tablet or phone specific OS. The whole point of ICS was to unify the OS across the phones and tablets. Doing something like 3.0/Honeycomb again would be a complete regression back into Developer hell, so Google has no incentive whatsoever to do something like that again. The only reason they made Honeycomb in the first place was just so they could get somewhat competitive in the tablet market because 2.3 or older on a tablet was just horrible.
I can also (almost) guarantee you that the Galaxy Nexus will see at least one major software update. I don't see hardware taking off more than it has the past couple years to the point that the GNex can't keep up for at least the next 18 months or so. But it's way to early to accurately speculate so I wouldn't even worry about it right now anyways.

I'd like to see where you read that? Makes absolutely no sense. All anyone has said is how big of a failure Honeycomb was an how ICS is made for both phones and tablets. Why in the world would they throw all of that away and go back to 2 different OSes for tablets and phones?
I'd say, with 1GB of RAM, dual 1.2Ghz processor and a 4.65" screen; the Galaxy Nexus will be able to keep up with innovations for a while as hardware can't progress much further without a new battery technology being developed to power the dual quad core processor, 1GB GPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB flash memory and 1080p/i screens for example.

Our Nexus will most likely if not definitely get at least 1 software upgrade (the supposed Jelly Bean Update). The reason Nexus S didn't get HC was because HC was a tablet-OS and it would be counter-intuitive to port it to smaller screened and less powerful devices.

There are not many mainstream devices running that hardware and you would like to see that in a phone? Those specs set you back a few thousand dollars in a PC so even if they squished half that in a phone it would be 1st Gen car phone size, probably $50k and you'd have to carry the battery on a dolly or segway.

and i have a very good feeling we will get JB, and at least, unofficially, KLP or whatever they call it.
Unfortunately for those on Verizon, with how long it's taken them to push out 4.0.4, I doubt we'll officially see many updates let alone the next Android OS
Write to your heart's content regarding Google I/O, your expectations and how they were met. What you think about what they announce, etc.
I am so damn hyped for Jelly Bean!
Can't wait for VZW to update the Gnex to 4.1... In another 6 months lol
Project butter sounds good

Google's solution to fragmentation...PDK.
I'm still not convinced it'll really fix anything.
Sdk is rolling out today though.

Ewww...app encryption.
I guess this is a good thing since anybody could have pirated Android apps before, with or without root.

App encryption is what got my attention. What the ****, really? Apple all over.
chrome is to be jellybean default browser.
i'm getting a nexus 7.
The "Google Now" product sounds great, and it will apparently work as the inverse to the notification bar? It sounds like you swipe from the bottom of the screen up to display it.
The whole part about your device figuring out your commute to work (along with your other typical behaviors) is brilliant. Every morning I check google maps and have to compare alternate routes, manually determining the least travel time based on traffic.
Now, that will not only be automated, but it will provide me suggestions for alternate routes immediately. "Google Now" seems like the best part of JB so far.
Expandable notifications are also welcomed.
I thought the indoor 'streetview' is a nifty idea - especially combined with that 'compass mode'.
The new UI features just astonish me. I love all of the new features of the notification bar and Google Now. I can't wait to have Jelly Bean!!
Project Butter definitely excites me the most so far.

this makes me happy!
Wow... Nexus Tablet announced at 199 officially.
Hi, I know we all want the Jelly Bean, but I think with the Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core ICS is good enugh . I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.1.2 and a Galaxy s3 At&t with ICS. GS3 with Snapdragon S4 dual core very fast and I installed CM10 jelly bean 4.1.2 on the GS3 and its the same speed. So the Jelly Bean was good for Galaxy Nexus, because it mad it faster and smoother the outdated dual core.
So for this phone the ICS is super fast.
The only thing we need is boot loader unlocked and its going to rain with the beautiful ROMs from our hardworking DEV's .

Agree. I haven't had any slowdown whatsoever, and I'm using Eco Mode for the significantly better battery life. Still no lag.

I agree

I disagree.
Google now is preferable, and no one is going to seriously want to have a phone that is stuck on 4.0 for 2 years until an upgrade.
Even if it gets Jellybean in December and then another upgrade 6 months from then it's still another 16 months without an upgrade and no updates would be a lot of ticked off users.
I say keep bugging LG for an unlocked bootloader, and keep paying attention to how close the devs are to getting done .

Google Now is nice , but I personally don't like to talk to my phone. I can do the same with my fingers. I think its stupid to talk to the phone. Its still not there.

The voice search part of Google Now is ONLY a small part of the service. Google Now is extremely convenient and provides very helpful info without having to do anything.
Yeah, but on every JB device I have, Google Now chews up a lot of battery. So I typically keep it turned off.

Most phones will be behind anyway. Only a hand full of phones have jelly been. I want it as much as the next guy but most people that have android phones don't even know about jb. I work with two guys that have android phones and never herd of ice or jb. I had to tell them about it. They just go and get what they like and never worry about it. If it comes great if not then so be it. Im sure it will come sooner then we think especially if we don't think about it and just enjoy a really good phone. There is always the LG nexus if it's really that important.

I for one like the expandable notifications in JB. If LG wants to really set themselves apart they will be quick with the updates.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
If we add how much more stuff LG's UI has comparing to pure JB.
When I agreed that ICS is "good enough," I mostly meant in the performance arena. I definitely want Google Now and the new JB features, but Project Butter was a big selling point for JB and this Optimus simply doesn't have any lag even with ICS. I'm really liking it.
Now, on to custom development...
I have 3 devices w/jb, and in my opinion it really isn't that big of a deal. Now is kind of neat, but uses a lot of battery (on all my devices anyway), and the interface speed improvements are OK.
To be honest, though, the interface on this OG feels faster and smoother than any of my jb devices.

That's fine but, when "banana split" comes out or "licorice" or some other sweet android version comes out with a feature that you can't get despite wanting, don't pretend you will still be happy with your phone then.
You don't compare the ability to receive updates to what's out, you have to consider the future and unaccounted for variables.

My 2 year old captivate is sitting on Jellybean right now. I don't care what "average Joe" knows about. I care about the future.
I'm not saying people shouldn't be happy with ICS for now but, I am saying to sit around and say "good enough" is setting yourself up to be in a nasty position when a new version of android rolls out that you can't get. If I had this phone I most certainly wouldn't be in any major rush for Jellybean and I'll be the first to admit it..
The problem is this entire thread reads as though people will be happy with this phone even if it sticks to ICS all the way until it's time for a new phone.. and given that this is a site dedicated to users who want the newest version when possible, that just seems like the wrong impression to give.

I would probably agree with you that the performance is "good enough." It doesn't need and probably won't benefit from project butter a whole lot. At best it will see severely diminishing returns compared to some of the older hardware out there. However, performance is only one aspect of a newer android version.

My ancient captivate runs far smoother on JB than it ever dreamed of running on ICS.
Project butter isn't really designed to help a quadcore monster move faster it's designed to help hardware on the weaker side get better performance.
With that said, I feel like a lot of people miss the part where if this phone were to stay on ICS it could miss the next "big thing." Just imagine all the people who didn't care about upgrading to 2.3 from 2.2 because it wasn't a "big deal."
Then 4.0 comes out and a lot of apps won't run on the older 2.2 version. No chrome, no Nova launcher, no a bunch of stuff.
I'm not saying that for the time being ICS isn't "good enough." But, I do think it's important to examine what you'll be missing in the future if this thing doesn't get unlocked.
I agree that I want updates for this phone - and preferably from the community, not just the vendor. So I'm glad there are people working the bootloader issue.

Only reason I didn't buy this phone is no JB. So no, ICS not good enough
Is there any way to add Google Now to ICS? Or does that require access we don't yet have?
I agree this is the fastest and smoothest phone to date.

yes, there is. I'm not exactly sure of the details as I just installed JB when it became available for my phone.
just wondering if anyone played netfix or hbogo video on this phone, do you notice any delays at all?
I just tried "Lost" on Netflix. Zero lag and loads instantly in HD over LTE.
