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.

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).
love my dhd , will be sad to see it go and will probably not buy htc again in protest of the ICS saga.
Anyways, seen this a good few months ago and wondering are we any closer to running ubuntu yet ?
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
For me this seems to be the way forward
Multi-core req
I also love my DHD, but i seem that the ubuntu project requires a multicore (minimum dual) so I don't think this will be posible.

You seem to doubt the development team greatly. Whenever ubuntu for mobile become ever more popular or when a dev has the free time to work on a port it will be done.
There are many lower end devices that are not fully 1Ghz running android from its original (windows mobile) so relax and see;jelly bean and ics ports are still in swing

If you don't mind about other brands than samsung i suggest you use HTC Sensation XE. It's nice and have a better specs than ours. It has 1,5 ghz dual core processor and some usb otg if you are a fan of usb otg. Just search it on google about this amazing phone. And yes it is affordable

You can check on sensation thread,arco's on sensation is bruce2728, cm 10 is 99% already perfect,redvilzz and i are using the same phone now and moved from wonder. And from those cm trees,came jellybam,pa,miui,aosp,aokp. Yet,i still having my wonder here,but for better attention, they have it on sensation
Really having hardtime for rooting,s-offing,bootlocker,but when your done,you can do whatever you want from touchrecovery,even flashing stockrom
sent from my LegenDroid ?
True as dolly said, and thanks to his help for guiding me on choosing rom, kernel, rooting and etc. :cheers: to you mate. Anyway It is an awesome phone in the upper hand of wonder. Why i didn't choose s2 because the price is around 2 times expensive CMIIW then the sensation xe. Sensation XE is only around 1,2 / 1,3 times expensive and the specs is 'almost' like s2 only very different from the screen which is not AMOLED
And about the difficulty of rooting there are a lot to do to gain the ability to flash custom rom on this 'baby'
You need to unlock bootloader, root, s-off and etc.
It is all explained in the thread. FYI after what i've been through the S-Offing way is the most difficult one for me, but after you succeeded it's smooth sailing to change all rom.
And also there are many great and good dev there like arco's which is our man . Cheers to arco :beer:
Sensation thread is in xda, just search for htc sensation. The thread is a combined version with the sensation, sensation 4g, and sensation xe, almost all the roms are compatible with every variant of sensation.
For sony yes it is cheap and have more power but almost all low prices phone that i checked didn't have external capabilities and i know yes they are better from our wonder with a little cheaper prize but yeah no external sd card capabilities? That's a pain
Try googling and look on the specs man it will amaze you with the affordable price :thumbup:

wonder is enough and best for me with CM9. i dont play games so why i buy more expensive money.
Actually I want to buy Galaxy Nexus, but.. it's officially wiped out from the list in the Indonesian phonespace.
So I'll have to wait for the next Samsung's newest flagship Android.
as for me, i believe in rumors about new samsung nexus with android 5.0 onboard..
if it becomes not larger than 4.5" and gets nice design (w\o that s***ty pseudo-chrome around) for example comparable with our wonder, i'd make my best to get it)
A nexus of course..
This is a difficult question...
Samsung? Well, they have lately been... 'less friendly' to the dev community, to the point that Team Hacksung has declared that they will end activities on Samsung phones.
HTC? They are openly hostile to the dev community, what with the locked bootloader, unlock limits, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention that their sales are declining fast.
Motorola? Same as HTC. Although, with a new owner (the mighty GOOG himself) situation *may* change.
Nexus? No SD Card slot, 'nuff said.
That leaves only Sony, which XDA Portal itself has commended to be the most dev-friendly brand. They even provide an official bootloader unlocking page, with a helpful link to the proper forum in XDA!
So, my next phone would very likely be a Sony.
Which model? Not sure yet... I'll cross the bridge when it's time to, and not sooner (in other words, we'll see what models are available in the next 6-9 months).

Oh god! Cant post on the right place?
There's a Q and a thread that has been stickied!
As for buying the Ace II, I thought it was really worth it. I could play the games that I used to just see on the play store and it handles in-browser flash player very smooth on GB. It doesn't lag as long as you get the right kernel and rom that fits you. And making it a habit to clear ram when you've opened too many apps. As for JB, its cool that I decided to wait and not sell this baby because an official and stable build is coming in the near future. Also battery is enough to keep me satisfied throughout the day. Its pretty much perfect for the money you spend and definitely because it is the best smartphone on this price tier.

Hi,
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
Is there anyone who also has the I9070 and can give me any suggestion?
I am a bit worried about development: since our beloved I8150 is much more widespread, there's a lot more here than for the I9070, but it's just probably a matter of time... hopefully!
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, thank you very much.
I have a friend who uses I9010. Although it is good from spec, and bigger screen.. But well, XDA has only few devs. Seems it is a bit minus points since many of 'em were stock-modded.
€200 off-contract? Cheap..

Re the price: 200€ off-contract, yes.
I've been watching this phone since last year and the best offers I found were 250€ at the end of November 2012, 230€ now in most of the shops. A local supermarket is going to sell it for 200€ in the next days.
So the price doesn't go down fast, but slowly it does!

Many of those ROMs were not pure AOSP/CM-based and just stock, with some mods/changes, so maybe you may expect 'bloatwares', including that useless apps etc. Well there is actually CM10.1 but it is not that reliable since mostly it is for hi-level devs (as you can see there are many bugs there including the Phone.apk (that is for the calls) so it is impossible to make calls), the BT, the Wi-Fi if I'm not mistaken. But well if you can stand that it's yours.
Also, I think the newest S4 will fit. Well its announcement is still on March 14th (15th GMT+7, if it is announced at evening in NY). And I don't think if the price would be another 200 Euros off-contract.
Again, it is your privilege to buy a new phone and leave the other. So, choose it wisely.
Maybe you can post this question to the S Advance forum so that the user of that phone can share their experience with you

actually I would recommend you to buy S advance.
with the JB update, the phone is really smooth even without any custom rom or tweak.
But the only big problem is there is not much special tweaks and custom rom available for S advance. So when you are bored of stock S advance, there's nothing you can do unlike our lovely W with so many awesome devs.
Both phones have their own pros and cons. It's up to you.
Samsung Galaxy W Vs Samsung Galaxy S Advance = DRAW :highfive:
I do not know anything about s advance but i'm so in love at first sight with my wonder.

Surely Wonder has a lot more mods, roms, etc. available.
However, I also had a chance to try the S Advance and I must say it's much more comfortable just for the slightly bigger screen. The keyboard is easier, and the GPS works perfectly in Advance whereas in my Wonder takes ages to get the fix or loses it every minute....
All in all, if I had to buy a new phone, between the 2 I'd go for the Advance I think.
I choose wonder because wonder is my device
