I can't believe people actually buy that load of bunk. Google and Samsung would not be that stupid. If they released a spec-bumped GN on Sprint this quickly after the initial launch, they'd eat so much customer backlash their heads would spin.
If Sprint's going to get a GN at all, it'll be the same exact CDMA/LTE model Verizon got. Which still annoys me. Why doesn't the GSM version have 32GB of NAND?
Everything points to the Sprint Nexus having beefed up CPU and GPU. Motorola has done it too with the Droid Razr (battery). That's technology. With Android, you just cannot expect anymore to have the best device for very long. For sure something comes out a few months later which is better.

This won't happen because the whole point of a Nexus phone is to have a stable platform for each new OS. This having a new SoC, and this long after the official Nexus release means it's probably a false rumour. 99% false I would say. All Nexus phones so far have ALL been on 1 standard SoC, just how Google wants it to be.
BUT, if they DO release such a phone, the original Galaxy Nexus owners would be so royally pissed~

Let's end this discussion please. There's already an exact thread in the Q&A section. No Nexus phone has ever been given a bumped up spec in the same generation, and I hope they never will.
Um, no. It won't have a beefed up CPU/GPU. It might have the CPU clocked higher but that's it, they won't change the hardware. Are you forgetting that this is a developer phone, a reference device. They won't fragment it.

I guess we'll see. Everything is speculation at this point anyway.

Speculation, but Google will never let this happen. Nexus phones are meant to be ALL the same SoC regardless of region. Only clock frequencies and radios change, not the SoC wholesale.

According to who? AFAI, only the N1 was the only official developer phone under the Nexus brand.
I guess we are forgetting about the Nexus S.

32GB version starts to ship this month, as well as the white.
I couldn't care less as long as my Galaxy Nexus gets updates. That and pure Android OS is the reason why I got this phone, Galaxy SII has "better" spec and is cheaper but I got this for those two reasons.
If I remember correctly Nexus S had an inferior version with SLCD because of AMOLED production issues but hardware remained pretty much the same. Sprint Nexus or whatever it may be called may just have OMAP 4460 running at its intended frequency, which I believe is 1.5 GHz. I doubt Google will stray too far from the original Nexus, but only time will tell what eventually happens.
Speaking of updates where is 4.0.3. I've been waiting patiently for the OTA. Pull your thumb out and start working Google.

This thread was definitely made last night already.
Those of you have been waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to gain support for Bluetooth Low Energy - to enable syncing with devices like the Fitbit Flex or Polar heart monitor - can stop. While BLE support will arrive in the next drop of Android, it will - according to one of the folks on the Android team - apparently not be making its way to the Nexus. See the comment here:

Looks like the best bet, then, is either custom ROMs or upgrading to a Nexus 4 or later.
Great... Another nail in the coffin against the galaxy nexus, time to start looking for a suitable replacement.

This question is fairly general as I'm considering the remaining life of my device. Does anyone have an idea, once API level 18 is released, is it possible or probable that we will get BLE ported over in a ROM? Should I hold out hope for my Nexus or move on? BLE is something I've been looking forward to for a while.
Lol, that's just ****ing weak.

I don't think it's that simple, it will require some work to port it over, I remember that a google employee mentioned in the keynote that BLE requires a new stack. Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm kinda sleepy when i watched the keynote..
Yeah, which will come with next Android release. They just don't want to bother with the drivers for GN, which is bull****.

Nexus Prime's hardware has become old now...dual core TI A9 and the BT3 ,with the TI gone there would be no proper binaries
N4 or Next nexus would be better upgrade option :good: !

No one cares, since they get them from the stock build.
So, now that Android 4.3 is out, what are the chances of getting BLE ported from another device with the same BT chip?

I hope so. It's disappointing that Google is already starting to abandon what was their flagship phone just a year ago.

If someone were to track down the people who are providing ROMs with the all binaries included, even the ones that are not licensed to us by Google and manufacturers, there would be no 100% complete ROMs.

I already got 4.3 on my GNex, I can confirm that nothing changed in the Bluetooth settings screen. But I don't know if you can see BLE support in the interface somewhere or is it only under the hood?

I'm unsure if you're saying it will get it or won't.
They just recertified BT 3.0 for it. If you go to https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/listings.cfm and top in GT-I9250 in the search box you'll notice that it says it as for 3.0 not 4.0.
If you put in the model LG-E960 (nexus 4) and search you'll notice that it was for 4.0.
so will gnex support BLE ?
It doesn't have it, they would certify for 4.0 if it would. Only way (unofficial at least) would be to work with with similar binaries from a 4.0 certified device, if it's possible.
It sucks ass, but I guess it was more of a business decision then a engineering one. Personally I don't see much point in having a Nexus anyway, so this decision kinda sealed that I'll look around for the next phone.
All these snippets of news about the LG G4 I'm reading has got me interested. The one thing that'd put me off is if they really drag their feet releasing Android updates to the phone. How quick has their turnaround been for the G2 and G3? I see that the G2 (now 18 months old) got updated to 5.0.2 which is promising. If they continue to support the top end phones for at least 2 years, then that's awesome news and so much better than Samsung and Sony.
Thoughts?

They've always been really slow with releasing updates, but after 5.0 came out they were among the first companies to release the update. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the G3 got it before some Nexus devices, which is known for getting the updates first.
Used to suck, but they changed their game around.
well, we'll find out in the coming weeks with 5.1. it's been out for a little while and so far nothing. that's right though, as long as LG is faster than Samsung, they're doing something right...

Yes it'll be interesting. I think a few other manufacturers have had a few exceptional quick turn arounds for releasing an Android OS update but then fallen back to old ways. It will be interesting to see how long 5.1 takes to come out, if they are quick then I think I'll have my eye on the LG G4 otherwise I may wait for the next Nexus phone. I'm currently rocking a Nexus 5 which I'm really happy about. Still performing great.
Has anyone had a HTC One and moved over to LG? I have been very interested in the LG G4 for a variety of reasons, but have been with HTC since the original Desire, but their cameras have really not been great. What do you like more about the LG? How different is the LG skin to sense? Are you able to achieve S-off? Sorry for all the questions but very interested to know what your opinion is.
Has anyone seen these rumors? As of yesterday I saw a phone arena story saying it may be true.
Wouldn't this damage the market of people waiting for the Note 5? What in the world is Samsung up to.

Maybe that s6 edge plus is actually a mistaken Note 5, Samsung did say the Note 5 would be dual edged, it's plausible.
Is it? I never heard about this rumor.
Hey, im new here so i can't post a link to the article, but yes the rumors are true
if you go redmondpie . com you should be able to scroll down and see the article titled: "leaked photos s6 plus" or something like that.
I am very interesting in this model.
Because I like 5.5:laugh: - 6.0 inch screen but I am rarely use S-Pen on my Note 3 & Note 4.

Huawei confirms the original Huawei Watch has NFC and Android Pay is being tested on it
The rollout of Android Wear 2.0 has brought about a couple of interesting tidbits, including what we find to be a massive new piece of information about the original Huawei Watch: it has NFC.
The original Huawei Watch, which is set to receive it’s Android Wear 2.0 update soon, will be getting an additional piece of functionality in that an update will soon enable a dormant NFC chip in the watch.
In a statement to Ausdroid, Huawei has confirmed that the original Huawei Watch does have NFC, with Android Pay functionality currently in testing by the Android team at Google. The update to enable Android Pay on the original Huawei Watch may not go live straight away with the update to Android Wear 2.0, with a time-frame of Q3 given for the Android Pay functionality to go live.
The statement was given alongside confirmation that the Hauwei Watch 2, which will launch in Australia later this year alongside the Huawei P10 also has NFC built-in with support for Android Pay, but that support is functional out of the box.
The original Huawei Watch is still one of our favourite Android Wear watches available here at Ausdroid, and they’re getting cheaper as the launch of the Huawei Watch 2 approaches. In terms of functionality, it’s a massive step forward for owners of the original Huawei Watch.

Just got a answer from HuaweiGermany.. the Huawei Watch definitly don´t has NFC built-in.. so more speculations about this and Android Pay are not neccessary

Ausdroid is neither an official nor a reliable source. Huawei Watch does not have a NFC compatible hardware... its hardware has already been analyzed long time ago and though MSM8926 processor on some units migh have NFC support it doesn't have other hardware components required to use it.

AFAIK, they said the same thing about the speaker. I'm still skeptical, however.

Calm down.. It was planned for march, but delayed because of an new bug.. they are actually optimizing the new bug-free AW 2.0.. it should be available in few days, an employee from HuaweiGermany told me
still hoping, but reality says no...
Yeah, sure would be nice, however it's highly un probable.
then there is this: http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-watch-nfc-nope
It could explain why is taking too much time to release the update. I have latest preview version in my watch and is working fine.
