Now if they just weren't so damn slow in updating this phone with ICS. Or at least releasing some drivers and such so devs could get it done.
I swore I would never own another Samsung after the vibrant due to how slow Samsung was on dropping source and such...I got sucked in one again and sit in the same position again as the vibrant lol.
Frustrating for such an amazing phone to once again be limited by Samsung.

Suprised the iphone didn't win.

lol why would the iphone win? For packaging a formerly platform-wide speech assistant into their new *cough* phone as a feature and removing it from the app store?
Several people I know have the iPhone 4S, I am not impressed. At all.

iPhone was behind long ago.. What needs to catch up is consumer awareness.

Europe doesn't have that many hardcore apple fan boys yet like we do here in the US. Plus I think the same iphone 4 design didn't help them too much but they still selling tons and tons of phones.

If I all my stuff was tied to the apple ecosystem it would be hard for me to change. plus the iphone 4s is not really outdated just boring UI and unable to open up a little bit more other than that their not missing anything but 1 or 2 things.

We can't just sell the phone off, because it's defective and that would be considering scamming. I would love to get a refund or exchange but we are unable to do so even within warranty, as this problem "does not exist."
I said in another topic that my complaints are directed the both Samsung for making this ****ty phone and ignoring the obvious problem, and to the phone companies for ignoring the problem not allowing refunds or exchanges.

Scamming? so are you saying Samsung is scamming us because that's how all our phone is like... Why don't you just turn your brightness up and stop complaining.
Btw I'm sure many will buy the phone off your hands

Project Roadrunner? 4.2

Has anybody heard of this? I did a quick lazy glance here and didn't see it posted so I thought I would. Looks pretty amazing with new features and improving Gnow and improved battery life for Android users. Of course the main concern is in order for us to experience we might have to switch phones or of course wait on our devs to do their amazing work. Thoughts??

To be honest I have no idea if I will but if it's still holding up I might be. Either way I'll probably still own it and use it for a backup! Unless It's lost or breaks I don't replace my phone every year.. I got mine in March which makes it only about 7 months since I first bought it

Lol I know what you mean. But this s2 isn't just any phone, it was built for things beyond what it came with. All I'm saying is if you want this new OS then of course Nexus will be the phone of choice not Samsung and etc. But this phone is good for 2 years in my opinion. I'm also cheap and don't switch phones every few months or every year lol

Your point? We all have to move on at some point. By the time this phone gets 4.2 we'll have some really amazing devices on the market that will make this phone seem like it was from the stone age. Just like this phone makes that HD2 seem like its from the stone age. Idk how people are still using that thing. That snapdragon CPU was a boat compared to other SoCs like hummingbird during its time.

I think my next one will be a nexus.. There should be some nice ones coming out soon..
I was thinking.. I'm sure that the galaxy Nexus is a shoe in to get 4.2 and if it can handle the software I am sure that this phone can too!.. It's unlike that tmobile will put in the resources to update this phone after JB but it might be a slim possibility.. Especially since we will have the option whether or not to have OEM skins

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

Amazing... something long overdue IMHO, but better late than never (in terms of the manufacturer bloat/customization thing).
Also... I think I read something about multiple Nexus devices on their way? Very exciting!

Yes I've heard of at least 2 nexus devices!.. An LG nexus device will be released by the end of October..The name Samsung Nexus 2 has been thrown around a bit. and I think there will be one by HTC as well..

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).

I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

I've never been a big fan of this phone. It started in the first 15 minutes and the overall look of Touchwiz. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that my 1st smart phone was a Nexus One and my affinity for Native android as a result. Anyway.
I just bought a Nexus four and love it. I plan to return it w/i the 14 buyer remorse T-Mobile has. IAfter that I'll either order another N4 or wait for the next Nexus phone. I love the simplicity and ease of use of them. It was so easy to root the N1.
So it's either the next Nexus phone or the Motorola X phone. $$ is important to me, so probably the Nexus.

Expandable storage would be nice but will never happen. Don't care much for lte as I'm on Wi-Fi 99% of the time. The only thing I want to see is a better camera...and maybe made of something other than glass as I've heard it can be quite fragile.

Note 3 or....Gasp...iPhone 6.... If Apple adds things such as haptic feedback and a larger display, I'd consider it. I personally like the newer flat UI from iOS, plus I like the social integration part of the software. Android has it's benefits, don't get me wrong, but honestly, I think iOS visually looks better...I don't know if I can live without widgets though
PS, I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but I'm not a fanboy of either...Looking at functionality and design..Nothing wrong with that

When will google stop messing around and release 5.0?
As for the name, I would have preferred Cadbury, Mars bars, Nestlé, or pudding or something lol. Kit kats are nice but they sound funny. :screwy:

Neither of those names would have worked... They don't start with "K"

Well unfortunately none of those you named start with a letter 'K' Maybe when we hit the M part they will call it Mars Bar.

It was still such new news, that I was taking it with a grain of salt. Lol thought, well this must be some BS marketing ploy. But seems its been confirmed more than one place. Makes me wanna go buy a box of kitkats. Lol

At&t will release it around the time 5.0 comes. They seem to run 2-3 versions behind.

We can now consider the i747/M an outdated device after the 18-month Open Handset Alliance requirements. There is no incentive for Samsung or your carrier to roll-out firmware releases for our phones now that the S4 is the current flagship.

I agree. Unlikely and am pretty sure it will be S5 time by then anyway.

I really think that it's simply a naming thing. It's already been said that they didn't exchange any money for the deal. I really doubt that they'll be any other form of marketing except for kitkat's competition to win a few android products.

Not only is the Open Handset Alliance dead, it was DOA.
That 18-months things was never enforced by any OEM.
