When do you think Google will stop supporting the Galaxy Nexus with updates?

I know we all wish the Nexus will be supported for many years to come but being realistic about it, when do you think Google will drop support for the Galaxy Nexus?
This is a relatively powerful device so it should have official updates for at least until the end of 2013, right?

Yh it started on 4.x so it should last at least 2 major versions more upto 6.x.

Realistically, I would say 5.x will be the last.
However, unlike Apple, who wants you to keep buying devices, Google just wants you to keep using the software, so it would be dumb of them to stop supporting Nexus phones after 2 years.

I voted 5.x, it just depends on how many incremental updates there are.
Nexus One released with 2.1
Nexus S released with 2.3
Galaxy Nexus released with 4.0
So for all we know, the next Nexus phone could be Android 4.2, 4.3, etc.
The one after that could be 4.4, 4.5, etc.
Just depends on how long they stretch out the versions.
And we all know each version most likely will branch out within, like 4.1.2, etc. so nobody really can probably give a good guess.
Although since dual core by no means is slacking in hardware for most apps, etc. compared to the N1 and Nexus S with single cores.
I don't see the GNex dropping off the radar for at least 2-3 years, no matter what.

I think it will hang in the top of phones for update for three years at least.it has good hardware and it was the first phone to recieve jellybean,and it will be the first or at least second,if google releases a new nexus,to recieve a next android update.look at the nexus s,it is single core,a bit old-ish,and it recieved jellybean update second.

I don't see the Nexus One having Android 4.0 though, and it can easily support it.
Let's hope Google doesn't do the same with the Galaxy Nexus and drop support when 5.x comes out.

Nexus one is a old phone,and it could run 4.0 easly,but google focused their work on newer phones.

Yes, but why not support a phone for at least 2 more major versions considering that Google's goal is to have people use the software that connects them to Google services? It doesn't matter that the phone is 2 years old, as long as the software keeps working on it and connects people to the cloud or whatnot.
The Nexus One was always stuck in the 2.x version of Android. This makes no sense considering their gameplan.

nexus phones will have custom roms until you wear the phone out, as unlike normal phones you don'tneed to wait for drivers and source to be released.
go look at the dev section for nexus one, there are tons of jellybean Roms.
I don't get your concern

In December they will probably stop supporting the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus will get the next update.

nexus one uses a QSD8250 chip with adreno 200 , it has also limited (small) /system and /data partitions so u have to use custom hboots and data2sd methods.. i don't see how either ICS or JB can run easily, they run, but they are full of issues..

I assume that the Nexus One was dropped because it has just 256MB RAM. Judging from how much RAM Android 4 eats up on my Galaxy Nexus, it would require some serious modifications to trim down the RAM usage.

When is next HTC release?

As this being the "general" forum of latest HTC's android flag ship, I'm asking here.
After HTC released only WP8 devices on the 19/9/2012, I heard they will have another release on 26/9/2012. I'm really waiting for their phablet because the Note 2 is very expensive and the GPU is old..
Thanks

Football often knows these things ahead of most people, subscribe to his twitter feed (football4pda or something) and you'll likely find out before htc release to the general public

The next HTC device could arrive quicker & more of a powerhouse than you think.....

Speculation is mounting that the next Google Nexus 5 will in fact be the HTC One X 5. GSMArena.com has received a tip saying the 5-inch display-sporting Android handset will be made by HTC, and has even been passed on some specs.
According to the tip-off, the Nexus 5 will house a Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, a 12-megapixel camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper and a whopping 64GB of internal memory storage. It will also use a 2,500 mAh battery and will offer LTE connectivity.
However, what really stands out is the claim that the display will be 1080p – a huge task for a screen size of 5-inches.
Of course, it being a Nexus-branded device, we can expect the phone to run on the latest version of Android, with GSMArena citing the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 operating system, providing bug fixes and Project Butter for a smoother user experience.
Pocket-lint has been told that the HTC One X 5 is real (also known as the HTC Droid Incredible X), despite the handset having yet to emerge from its hiding place. When it does finally appear could it be in the shape of the Google Nexus 5?

Galaxy Nexus Dual-Core Performance

Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a new android phone. I have to chose between Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Htc SeNSATION.
I want to for Galaxy Nexus. but I'm wondering which will be the best for me.
I will use the phone mostly for gaming.
Which one should I choose ?? S2 has better performance for gaming but there is a big difference between it and GalaxyNexus, should I trade the little performance for the HD Display ?

Google would never abandon their baby. They're practically like a lioness, left the Nexus S to wander and grow on its own and will come back for it when KLP comes out. As for 5.0? Sammy and HTC can kiss updates goodbye, permanently. Those would probably never see the light of it.

GNex for sure
Reason: Its a Nexus device okay?

i'd agree that the Galaxy Nexus is the best choice among those 3, and the only one that will see 5.0/KLP. i will say that the processor is showing its age a little bit, but i'm not the biggest TI fan.

No brainer bro, get the GN! Heck, I'll sell you mine. Just got a brand new one from Verizon cuz my old one's charging point went out (2 years old).

Anyone who claims to have an answer to this is purely speculating. No one knows whether the GNex will see 5.0 or not. I hope yes... but after the Nexus One got abandoned, I'm not so sure the GNex will see 5.0

nexus s was abandoned already with android 4.1 (maybe because of 512 mb ram?)
so we already lucky to get 4.3
I don't have so much expectations to get 5.0..google is focusing a lot on nexus 4 / 7 / 10 ...our gnex is 2 years old, and the gpu is 3 years old, it's not slow, but useless to support..this is my thinking..we will see when 5.0 come out

Hey man, I'm interested in The Gnex, Do you think its still worth buying it? If so, i think youve got alot of knowledge, and im stuck with a galaxy Y, i want to change. Will the nexus be a good choice now? In Mid 2013? And if i get it, how long can it last with me being bored of it?

It was abandoned because 4.2 introduced the multi-user /0 folders. The Nexus S would need a full wipe (sd included) and they didn't want to push it out due to this. If it wasn't required to full wipe it during the OTA, it would've gotten it officially.

Why are you guys telling the OP that the Gnex will get 5.0? Nexus devices only have 2 years of support.
As far as Google support, the Galaxy Nexus will get 4.3.X and no further. It's up to the community to put 5.0 on it.

I have worked with a lot of devices on xda ,and to be honest HOX has the least attention
I own a newly bought HTC Sensation XE and it has the twice the support that HOX has though its a years older than One X
beside the HTC One X hasnt been lucky with Tegra Chip inside since this chip isnt popular at all and it doesnt has any kind of support
,,lol
another point Samsung Galaxy S2 even has more support than both of these devices together
SO when it comes to your question ? I think our device here is dying fast when it comes to support
next time I'm going to by only Nexus devices though when it comes to build quality HTC is far superior than any other device

Take a look at the legendary HD2 it's support beats the one x in every way that's due to the chip and s-off... And yes nexus devices support is way better duo to its price what broke the one x is the ****ty Tegra chip nvidia is known at writing bad drivers for Linux kernels so i wouldn't be surprised... When i bought the one x i knew that the support won't be amazing but i thought we will have s-off because that didn't happen the support is very bad so mhhh..

This overheating problem is mostly due to Tegra chip design not HTC and we can see that only HOX and HOX+ that has Tegra chips and after that point HTC has stopped dealing with Nvidia for uplifting an further chips

The only thing I don't understand why is so hard to port a ROM from the original Nexus 7
it has almost the same Tegra 3 CPU in it and it has all the drivers supplied for the latest Android 4.4 version...?

That's what I decided after this HTC experience as well. It was my first Android phone, and now I know that Nexus is the way to go.

Even HTC Desire has better support than HOX at the moment.
Lesson learnt, only buy Qualcomm chipset based phones
And by the way, kitkat kernel source for HTC one is already released. And we are still waiting for 4.2.2 kernel source.

Theoretical question - Nexus 5X

A thought has just occurred to me.
The recent Nexus 5 rumours led me onto a thought train. According to some of the rumours we're seeing, the new Nexus 5 may well be, to all intents and purposes, a slightly different G4, with added fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C. The rumoured specs seem to show they share the same SoC (Snapdragon 808, Adreno 418), same RAM (3Gb), same camera sensor... etc.
Theoretically, if the new handset was to share these specifications and come with stock Android (as previous Nexus devices have done), would we be able to port that ROM across to our own devices, to essentially give us stock Android (obviously with work to unlock bootloaders, or a workaround)?

Nope! Not gonna happen. Nexus 5 x will be an affordable midrange device.

Except there was no nexus 5 port to lg g2. A nexus 5x ROM would make the g4 perfect though. If only we could keep the camera set up. Oh well. The 10N update helped alot with overall feel.
