So it is August 30 as I am sitting here typing this. I have read all the little post and updates about the Tbolt getting the ICS update by the end of August. And guess what?! Nope still no ICS update. I must have hit the "check new" button for the update a thousand times since August 1st. Wow talk about aggravating. "No new software update available yet" is all I get. So WTH Verizon?! It had been said countless of times that this update was going to happen by the END of August. Guess what? It’s the end of August. Did I miss something? Has the update window been pushed back? Just like the release date of this lemon you have sold me? Or has it just been pulled and now I will never see ICS until I upgrade to another phone?

You could download the ICS leaks from Team BAMF's site which is OK but a little buggy. Or over in the Thunderbolt Android Development forum you can find Jester's Desensed version of it or his AOSP version of ICS which works great (it'll show 1x but it's actually 3G or 4G speeds). Just my $0.02.
They still have 2 days to release it

2 days... We all know how this works unfortunately. VZW while having great service is awful at releasing updates. Sure, HTC says they'll be done with it but then it still has to be vetted by VZW (unless they've changed their process). I'm no expert and I don't have any inside knowledge but I'd put money on late September at the earliest.

I have been running different ROMs for the last year and a half. Pretty much since I have had this phone. I went back to S-off so I could try the actual OEM update. If I don’t get my fix soon I am going to have to try the leaked ICS that’s out there now. I am just putting a little faith in the official update with Verizon to see if this hype has been worth the wait. I have been unrooted since the first. I think I am going through withdraws lol.
That is probally true. Late Sept or worst yet, Oct sometime. grrrrrrr.

I know the feeling. I unrooted yesterday so that I could call in for my replacement and ship the old one back today and I hate it. I hate not being able to tinker. I was working on a reworked framework-res.apk so the APN list would show up right on Jester's ICS and made a little progress but the TB just got worse and worse. I'm running stock GB and it's not better or worse (connectivity wise) than any other ROMs. I loved this thing when it first came out. This will be my 4th TB now, I just want a phone that works properly.
To the OP: try out Liquid's ICS (AOSP). There is data (I get 3-5Mbs in Minneapolis), it is smooooooth, it has great battery life, and it is pure ICS (zero laggy Sense involved). For all of those waiting for the official ICS release, please try out Liquid's ICS. It will hold you over until the "real" thing comes. (But quite frankly, I could use this ROM for rest of my Thunderbolt's life).

+1. but it has bugs on mine, a lot of FCs and battery life is shorter than on most GB ROMs.
Not gonna happen, well at least this month. its the 31st. there's a posting on Droid life but doesn't explain why and when its actually going to be released. So, I think we're left with buggy leaks. I don't know why even post an actual date release if too buggy. Look when an actual leak came out a week before the real deal ICS.
I'm eventually going to jump ship so as my upgrade kicks in. I hate the fact that the TB is an awesome phone but far as updates are concern, its really bad. Someone posted that HTC is preparing their server for an actual release sometime soon. Don't quote me on this, I read it on another site. We'll see, we have till midnight at least.
I have pretty much tried every ROM out there for the TBolt. I went from ROM to ROM every week. I had hoped that the ICS was going to be here by now. But yeah I may just have to check out the leaked ICS that is available now.... What a shame to be once again let down.

If ur not runnin some form of ics on the tbolt, its a you problem. People need to quit complainin and run one of the 3 ics roms we have. Geeez, verizon owes people nothing, but the devs have given us ics options.

That's RIDICULOUS, we'd rather whine about it! :laugh:
If enough people whine about problems (almost all of their own making!) I'm sure HTC and Verizon will release the update sooner, right? :highfive:
My T'Bolt is an almost perfect phone, I've tried the ICS leak and gone back to my previous ROM. I don't give a rat's rear end if they EVER release ICS but can we PLEASE STOP WHINING ABOUT IT?
Thank you!

The more you whine, the more HTC/Verizon will push back the update. Kind of like when we all were younger, our parents never gave us what we wanted until we stopped whining. Beggers can't be choosey I guess is the saying. Unless of course you were a little spoiled brat lol.

Yeah, but once its out and you except the OTA update, you might not be able to root for a while if the bootloader becomes locked and there's no method of unlocking it. Just sayin.

whenever i see a new leak i get excited and pee on the carpet. then flash every ROM i can find for a few weeks but i always seem to go back to plain old CM7.
I believe I have every right to whine. I paid to own this phone. I have paid to use this phone every month. I believe just by those two things I have every right to whine. The TBolt has been put into last place since before it was ever released. I am now stuck with this phone and I am tired of being put on the back burner.... Sorry I was whining but I feel better now

Agreed, I'm about ready to turn the chapter on my streak
This video has been around in the other Note forum for a while.
Frankly, it's a tease. There's something about Smasung's promises that are worth just about nothing.
For all we know, they may discontinue this product before we see anything.
I have had the Note for ages, and be the time they release anything it will be obsolete.
Heck, in Smasung's mindset, things are obsolete even BEFORE they're released

So you come from an iPhone to the Note and you automatically know everything about Samsung devices? Hmmm.
In my experience with the Captivate and Infuse, Samsung may be slow to release stuff, but they eventually get around to it. The Captivate started on 2.1, and they eventually got it to 2.2 and 2.3. The Infuse started with 2.2 and had 2.3 for a while, but they pulled it due to some issues; it will be back eventually. And that's just official updates. Samsung phones have great developer support her, my Captivate has ICS running on it, and the Infuse does now too. Premium Suite will come out when they release the official Samsung ICS for the International Note. And how can you say they are making the Note obsolete before it came out? It's still arguably the best device out there right now. And the ATT Note has been out for what, 2 months, yet we already have a stable ICS leak? Ok. I would say that's pretty damn good due to the fact that most phones don't have ICS yet, and the Note was in development before ICS was officially released anyways....therefore of course it's going to have GB when it was released.
I love how previous iPhone users think that they have the best support...One phone a year...one 'major' software upgrade a year. And no fragmentation? Hah. Bold faced lie. If there was truly no fragmentation, all iPhones, all the way back to the original, would be able to run the latest iOS in some shape or form...yet that's not the case.
When I had the iPhone 3g, it was severely crippled by iOS 4. My old Captivate now has ICS on it, and is over two years old now. Hmmm. Weird.
Not trying to bicker and fight, just pointing out that Samsung does support their devices fairly well.
I didn't mention an iPhone. Did you perhaps search my previous posts form two months ago?
And I don't think I mentioned anything about Apple support or whatever.
Samsung is a shifting entity. They are now supposedly pulling the Galaxy tab 10" and the 10" note to make changes. Thing is, this seems somewhat disorganized. It may be a good move, or not. It isn't a stable timetable.
So when they say such and such is going to happen, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Yeah, I suppose I did search it to see where you were coming from, as in my experience I have been really satisfied with Samsung products, so I get curious as to why people have complaints against Samsung. Sorry. Haha. And my reference to Apple's support came from you being on an iPhone previously, therefore that is what you're familiar with, so I compared it to my experience with both Samsung and Apple products.
Sorry if I came off a bit harsh, going on 4 hours of sleep in the last two and a half days, it's wearing on me.
Np problem, I do that also (it's fun to sneak around and check on people )
I'm just pissed that i'm stuck with the S -memo. I bought the Note for the pen really, as it's an ideal note-taker (or should I say, it COULD be ideal )
And I was waiting for the 10" and now it's all up in the Air. I'm pissed.
So I rant on, to no avail i'm afraid
Cmon now...Samsung isnt THAT bad. Honestly, if you always have to have the lastest software, the Nexus line is the best way to go. Its not like HTC, Motorola, LG updates all of their devices quickly. No brand is perfect. I would much rather have to wait a little while and get a completed update than a fast update thats buggy and half assed. And besides, most people love to flash ROMS and tons of customizations. Thats what makes us Android users and not iOS. Last week I used the iphone again and thought to myself..."this $#&@ is Boring! Unlock screen, swipe left, swipe right....all I see is bunched up icons on that never changing 3.5" screen...thats it?!?
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I was one of the many who came from an iPhone. Actually, I have had every iPhone since it's inception. From time to time, I would jump and try another phone and would always go back to the iPhone. This is the first time that I switch out the iPhone and can still say It was a great choice. One of the many things that sold me was samsung's premium suite coming out. I have changed so many things on my note that I could never do on the iPhone. I guess it is just personal preference and what it is your looking for in a phone. I wanted a productivity monster that would do everything I needed or wanted and the notes does just that
Bring on premium, I am waiting impatiently
Coming from someone who had a phone made by Dell last, I would say that Samsung is LIGHTNING fast with updates, lol...

Coming in late but I've got a question about the Premium Suite... I want it but if I go to one of the custom ROMs will I still be able to download it from the Samsung App store? or from the Android Market (Google Play Store?).

It's believed to be in the new leak being released soon. I'm sure it will get incorporated in all the ICS ROM's very quickly.

Your rant aside, that's actually a good point on iOS. Never thought about it that way. They are always quick to attack fragmentation as a benefit to being on iOS (which they feel they are immune too). I believe this picture sums it up

Been using the leaked "S Note" app on my AT&T Note and am learning to like it alot. BUT it definitely (at least for me) takes some learning and practice.
It has basically replaced the "S Memo" app.
Nice feature in "Settings" is the ability to use pen only...meaning your palm won't end up leaving marks on your note.

But honestly GUYS OF THE NOTE FAMILY...IM HERE to ask from you.
You see it is nearing the end of THE month (second quarter) and there is still NO PROMISED ICS. And Not only did they promise it to us but that it was promised to us in the first quarter as well. How many of us are going to give up on Samsung OR AT&T before they actually deliver their update?
How many of us do they really need to make bitter?
Well today i say that if it doesn't come to us then let us go to it.
I, along with a couple of members are trying to work towards better Rom making. I, being that this is my first Rom cooking, have been learning and reviewing anything that I possibly can to help give my NOTE users out there a BIGGER ROM SELECTION. I need a good...scratch that. I NEED A AWESOME THEMER. IM ALSO GOING TO NEED SOME USERS TO HELP TEST THE BETA.
PLEASE!!!!! Together i know we can help make NOTE users ONCE AGAIN ENJOY XDA DEVELOPING!!!! AND ONCE AGAIN ENJOY FRESH NEW ROMS. INSTEAD OF THE SELECTION OF THE VERY FEW.
AND DON'T GET ME WRONG I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO ANY AND ALL OF OUR DEVS WHO HAVE MADE TREMMMMMENDOUS SACRIFICES TO serve the bitter needs of OUR flashing habits.
Please no flaming and help me help you guys out. Let me know any ideas you have for any Rom RELATED MATERIAL LIKE theming or what you would like to see in a Rom

WE WERE NEVER PROMISED ANYTHING PERIOD! It was only rumors. The first rumors were that the ICS update would be released within two weeks of the Galaxy Note being released then it went from that to by the end of the first quarter then when that didn't happen someone posted that they were told May 30th was the day it was coming so that became the new rumor then the rumor was by the end of Q2 and then someone said they were told by someone at AT&T June 22nd while someone else was saying AT&T told them July 13th. You can chalk all the dates upto rumors and nothing more. If AT&T and Samsung made any statments about it there would be no speculation. All these rumors do is cause confusion. I would bet that AT&T and Samsung also have no clue when it will be released so you know just as much as they do. They will release it as soon as its ready. They do not create updates and just sit on them so they can release them at a later date. Why do people not use common sense in these situations and realize the update simply is not ready to be released? I assure you it will be released soon all you have to do is wait. I am sure they are working super hard to get the update out to us before T-Mobile releases their Note with ICS. I would guess they have been doing a lot of extra testing to get this update released so that they stay upto date before T-Mobile releases their variant. So if the rumors are true that the T-Mobile Note is coming July 11th then you can just about bet the farm that we will have our ICS update between now and July 10th and this is the best rumor you are gonna get.
im pretty sure it was asked , in a Q&A type Note video it was on one of samsungs youtube chans and they said yes we would be getting ICS.
ICS source out in July
T-Mobile is getting ready to release it's Note around July 11th it ships with ICS out of the box, source for that will follow in about a week or two. If AT&T still wants to compete with the Note and not lose new Note customers to T-mo I would expect them to release ICS around the same time (unless somehow T-mo did get exclusive ICS on their Note for one month in north america from Sammy wich I doubt). And the new leak from DG looks pretty final so it would appear AT&T is about ready to release in July or sooner. Anyway the big thing is ICS source will be out by mid July at latest and Devs can work their magic with it. If you want to wait for your carriers official release from AT&T it may be Aug or sooner, T-mo right out of the box, Bell,Rodgers, and Telus who knows what those crazy Canadians are up to. But there is some really good ICS out now from our talanted Devs so if you really want it go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496 :victory:
Sorry looks like T-Mo pushed back the release of their Note til Aug 8th so NO ICS Source in July (hopfully mid Aug unless AT&T updates to ICS 1st)
Ok looks like ICS in July again looks like T-Mo knows they are way late to the party and are trying to get the Note out ASAP so perhaps next week 7/14!
Looks like AT&T will release ICS update on July 10th for OTA and Samsung will release on Kies on July 8th and source will be released on the 11th
No need to wait for Tmo source is out maybe Tmo Note release will be next week?

No bashing or pun intended but i agree with this
same goes for the whole "signing petitions" thing
ATT and Samsung will do as they please and when they please....
The Infuse was lucky enough to get official GB
it runs ICS and correct me if im mistaken but there isnt official ICS
on it but it runs it perfectly... slimed down of course
but nonetheless we have an amazing phone that runs ICS already
and i have a feeling the majority of people Devs excluded just want it to OC
My note running Unofficial ICS CM9 runs smoother than a GB rom OC'd to 1.8Ghz
i know to a dev it can frustrating but the common user like us...
C'mon we have AMAZING roms.. i could care less if they release ICS for our ATT
because T-Mobile is releasing theirs with ICS... there is all the source
you need....
Plus its all rumors... Samsung or ATT didnt promise anything
they said they would be updated to ICS (Including the S2, Skyrocket, and Note)
but never EVER gave a date...

True they did say we will get ICS but never said when. They never ever say when updates will come because they do not even know. The most they have ever said is that it would be upgradable to ICS but this was always information everyone already knew.

No offense I don't think Canadians are crazy (actually like that those carriers roms didn't screw with the OS as much as AT&T did with NFC and all) just can't get any info from Bell, Rodgers, or Telus ( last heard was that ICS was released in may?).
Im thinking they are just holding the release until t.mo releases their note. A very similar situation occured with my nexus s few months ago. They released ics for one varient of the nexus s then found a bug then stopped the ota then after months and months of waiting, google finally released galaxy nexus on t.mo i think atleast some u.s carrier then all of a sudden google started pushing out ics for all varients of nexus s.

And if you paid attention it was for the International Note and it did come in Q2. Samsung controls all the updates on the International Note but they do not control updates for our devices cause the carrier has a say so in what software goes on each device. So the fact is Premium Suite was released in Q2 so Samsung did keep their promise/estimated date but it had nothing to do with the I717 variant of the Galaxy Note. Now go back and watch the video again and there is not one mention of AT&T or the Galaxy Note I717 in fact in the video its not even an AT&T Note running Premium Suite. Another fact, our Note and the International Note are not the same devive and do not recieve updates at the same time. No disrespect to you or anyone else just hope this post clarifies there was never a promise made or date given for the Galaxy Note I717 ICS update.

It sucks that there was at least an announcement for international note yet we didn't even get any heads up. So Samsung expects us North American users to be the last ones to get the update and just blindly wait?
Well, back to Apple it is for my next phone then. I've never had this happen to me when I was with them.... So far my galaxy experience has been pretty bad and I thought ICS will enhance it but even that isn't smooth.... Bad taste all over with this company....

i just got off the chat with samsung support because of the noise in the camera where there is low light and they couldnt fix it. so i asked if it would be fixed in another update and he said there werent any updates but i said in the future like android 4.1 jelly bean and he said yes but didnt have a date for the release. i told him to fix the camera tho and he said he will let the techs know.
Yea next year. Seriously, in my past experiences, whenever I asked them about software updates, the answer would be "soon". Took them months to update the us galaxy s I & II. Just recently, they updated the last galaxy s II variant to ics, days after jelly bean was announced. Our best hope is to wait for cyanogen since they're making a very good progress for our phone

Yes, Samsung is very bad with rolling out updates for their phones. With that said, it is pretty much always assumed that when you buy a high end Android device you will receive the next release of Android. However, for us, an official release will likely not be in the near future.
I don't know... my last two phones have been Samsung so I TOTALLY know how it's been in terms of updates, which is to say pretty abysmal... I kinda suspect it might be a little different this time around though, at least for JB... the S3 is their obvious flagship and is doing extremely well so I think they may not make us wait as long as in the past. I'd bet we get JB by September, probably about two months to the day that it was announced. I mean, that's two months longer than we all want it to be naturally, but it's not THAT ridiculous to me.
In my mind, more than a month after an Android release you start to moan a bit... more than two months you start to outright complain. So if they get it to us right around two months, that's not great, but it's not awful either. That my hunch anyway, based on no more information than anyone else has, just a gut feel that they won' t want to ruin what has been a pretty stellar product cycle so far overall. Remember, they pulled off a nearly simultaneous multi-carrier launch for the first time and have a lot of momentum... it would be pretty lousy to follow that up with too long a delay getting JB to us. I suspect they get that.
Jelly Bean for VZW Galaxy S3 - Q4 2012. Its an incremental update rather than fully ground up so it probably won't take as long as, for example, ICS took on many devices.
I don't have source right this second, but I'll find it soon.......
They take forever for software but damn they make worthy phones. I love my s3 and even tho I know we won't get official jb anytime within the next 6 months at minimum, I know we'll at least have cyanogenmod and aokp with it so I'm not worried about it.

Don't expect any major updates with Samsung. I have had every top end Samsung phone for AT&T and never gotten one update.

I think the fact that the SGS3 is nearly identical across all US carriers will play a huge role in getting updates out much quicker than they have in the past. Samsung recently had a poll on facebook asking if they only made one device, which device would users prefer. This ability to only manufacture a single phone (a la Apple iPhone) would allow them to push updates in unprecedented amounts of time.

Then you, sir, have purchased at the wrong time or are full of it. I received 2 official updates just on my Captivate.
It is not necessarily Samsung holding up the updates. Its most likely the carriers. I can only speak from experience on captivate , but the European counterpart of that devices ( the I9000) received more than 10 leaks and a couple of official Gb updates. The captivate itself had more than half a dozen leaks before the official gb update.
If youre only focusing on the official OTA updates, then yeah , it'll naturally be slow. However, considering the dedicated community we've got, we'll definetley get jelly bean relatively soon considering we got cm9 now
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah, sometimes Samsung gets a *little bit* of a bad rap with updates... my experience with the Epic 4G is that although the updates didn't come as fast as we'd like at times, we DID get eventually them... we went through three versions of Android if memory serves: I believe it shipped with Eclair, and I know we got Froyo and ended up with Gingerbread. That was over a two-year period, since I got the Epic shortly after release and just updated after a two-year Sprint contract. So, I mean, three major OS revisions, plus a couple of smaller ones and a few bug/security updates mixed in there too, over a two-year period, you know, that's not too bad in my mind, even though the wait was uncomfortable a few times. If the SGS3 gets similar updates it won't be too bad in the long-run, although I certainly hope the lags between Android releases and our updates aren't quite as long, and I suspect they won't be.
Actually Samsung was one of the first OEM's to roll out ICS to it's handsets. Look at how many Motorola phones don't have it yet. Almost all of the GS2 have ISC now. The Note has it.
HTC has a bunch of relatively new phones that don't have ICS yet.
I think the S3 will be one of the first non-Nexus to get JB. Time will tell.
I'd bet that we have leaks by August and an official release the month after. So Jellybean by September.
Edit:
Forgot about carriers. Provably by November/December then but maybe Samsung can force them to update faster now that they have so much clout.

I don't really disagree with your assessment. Over the last year and a half vzw has turned into att lite, and HTC has just screwed its customers every chance it has gotten. It left the EVO view/flyer, jetstream on their current buggy ass builds of hc, they've might as well given up on updating their phones, as they wait so bloody long to do so, then they have bowed to vzws every demand. I will definitely be leaving both Verizon and HTC at the end of the year when the new nexus device hits. (assuming it does hit then) to me it seems like vzw got the iphone and immediately quit worrying about how to bring in new customers and keep their current ones happy. I'm probably going to go to tmo and stick with unlocked unbranded phones.

Just because you put a custom rom on doesn't me it voided your warranty its a possibility but not a guarantee if you know what your doing. I agree with most your points, but I got the phone for $150 off CL (because he wanted an ics device instead, LOL) so not only did I get a great deal on a mint condition phone because it didn't have ics on it but then I went home and slapped it on myself from xda. So in a way I kinda like that Verizon/Htc hasn't released ics yet. Plus its cool knowing your one of only a few thousand people that have a rezound with ics. I just wished the would give up the source code for the kernel already.
At this point the only way I'm buying another HTC phone is if it is a Nexus device. After coming from the Motorola "OG" Droid, I can't stand the indifference these companies seem to have towards us. If HTC would've been more communicative with us, telling us what is going on instead of giving us some vague release date, I might've given them some credit.
Poop!

It doesn't matter if this was a Samsung, Motorola, or LG, all companys treat their customers this way. Seems to be an industry standard. All big red does is interfere with this further with all the bloat they require. All I'm saying is HTC is not unique in how they handle themselves. I started with a Samsung Omnia (windows based), then got a Fascinate, Charge, and now Rezound. The Rezound is hands down the best phone I've had. Both the Fascinate and Charge suffered radio problems and if you read the Nexus forums they complain about the same thing. This also steered me away from the SGIII. Still a Samsung product.
Just my 2 cents......

While I agree that the rezzy is by far the best, I still wish I hadn't further supported HTC due to the way they are handling the tablet issue, and now the updates on the Rezound. And honestly I don't hold my breath for us getting jb. Honestly I think it will be like the tbolt is right now with Ics. Just a functional rom without a cellular modem. Which is sad given how incredibly much I like the phone itself. But the only way to get (insert mobile headset maker here) attention is to stop buying their products they won't support once they leave the shelf. And Verizon lost me when they axed unlimited data grandfathering. But then won't give me a discount for not buying a subsidized device. (ala tmo) so, I just can't continue to support companies that continually screw us the customer over.

Why do people get so "angry" or "furious" because there's no software update and says the manufacturer is horrible? Last time I checked the rezound cane out of the box with everything working. It's funny how people want everything....patience is key.
The update is a luxury not a necessity. Should I get mad at Microsoft because Windows 8 isn't out officially. The product they already released does everything I need for the time being.
Also, why would you want a company to rush a product? Try rushing your barber to finish your haircut quickly and see what happens. It seems very childish to get mad at a manufacturer for a SIMPLE update that is coming SOON.
The people of today...always wanting everything NOW.

I think some of it is symptomatic of the market. Handset makers are pushing out new devices every 4 to 6 months, and it stops being cost effective to update them all. Which sucks for us, but it makes good business sense.
If they would only push out source, RIL included, it just wouldn't matter.

All that you're saying sounds good and all but that argument is tired. If htc says we're giving ics, we expect it. And with barbers you see progress and know it's happening. You don't see him pausing your haircut after telling you 2pm to go work on someone elses and then coming back to your at damn near 1:58. Or him giving you a fresh haircut then ignoring you after you ask him to touch up your hairline after you paid him.

It's the whole thing of lying to the consumers that pisses people off, not necessarily the lack of updates IMO. If HTC had never mentioned that we were getting ICS there wouldn't be so much *****ing and moaning because people wouldn't expect it. When I got the Rezound back in November, I was told that it would have it by January. Here we are almost 8 months later with still no update. HTC has had it ready for months but Verizon refuses to push it out until they're ready. It's not the same thing as your Windows 8 analogy because the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 is paid for. It'd be more like you buy a computer with Windows 7 and a few months down the road your PC manufacturer says "We're not going to release any new drivers for your hardware, sorry." then MS says "We're not going to release any updates to Windows 7 for you anymore, sorry. Please buy Windows 8 to get the latest bug fixes."
I gotta say HTC and Verizon really ****ed this up. I've had good experiences with HTC before, but they are just so Hit-or-miss that it isnt even funny. Verizon... POS. Come november when my contract is over, I'm going to get whatever is the next nexus device (if its HTC then awesome) on AT&T
I don't really care for the official ICS because I am already enjoying ICS with sense 4 with Newts One XxX. However, it pisses me off to see that the rezound is still without official ICS. I don't think anything can justify this, other than than Verizon trying to promote other phones and not caring about a phone because it was not branded "Droid". The Droid razor already has ICS and I dont see why the Rezound still waiting. And what's more frustrating is the silence of the two companies... They simply don't care about what the customers think...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I would have to say the rezound has been the worst experience I have ever had with a HTC phone. It seems that since the HTC One series drop nothing else matters to HTC. I hate to say it but this may very well be my last HTC handset. I need a phone that I can compile the source on my own I guess.
Edit:
I see a lot of blame on Verizon but I don't believe (and I maybe wrong) any other HTC handsets have ICS either like the EVO3D (were I came from).
Why even push an update now that isn't even an update? It needs to have sense 4, IMO that would make it worth the wait, and get customers more excited and loyal towards HTC products. But nope. Gonna be sense 3.6 lol. Meh w/e they have been shooting themselves in the foot lately. All of them have in a way. Samsung used to be terrible with updates but not so much anymore... Their phones are just iffy, radios and such...

Oh I'm almost 100% sure Verizon is the MAIN problem. HTC has probably had it done for quite some time now but I'm sure Verizon keeps rejecting and making them lock stuff down more, while promoting other phones in the meantime. This last leak is almost perfect, and how long have we had it now?

Apple hasn't release any iphone in 2012 also...so I think they gonna release something in late 2012 also. When it does, I think Google Nexus will be even cheaper...so I think I should wait a couple more months.
Since most of us Vibrant users plan expire at the end of late quarter of 2012, what phone are you planning to get next?

Well they usually release a new phone with new OS. Nexus S with Gingerbread, GalNex with ICS (I forgot what did Nexus One shipped with, Eclair??). With JellyBean already released just a few weeks ago, I think the chance is very slim for google to release a new phone at the end of this year.

You mean Google Nexus 7? If so, that isn't a phone though. They don't have Google Nexus yet...they have Google Galaxy Nexus. After the last time I had with OEM subsidized phone with superslow OTA update, I aint going through that again.
I'd be surprised if they released a new phone without any teasers or leaks at this point. Could be focusing on the Nexus 7 moreso, but you'd think you'd have have seen something just to get the buzz going since Apple is supposed to have the next iPhone coming out sometime late this year.
I had to put my Vibrant out to pasture a couple weeks ago, and picked up the Galaxy Nexus; it's badass. The lack of an SD slot, and the camera (good, but not great) are my only complaints but it's so smooth at stock. I don't even think I'll bother with a custom ROM at this point since stock JB runs so well. Maybe the Trinity or franco kernel later, but I almost don't know what to do with my phone since I was always tinkering and tweaking my Vibrant, heh.

It would be kinda weird having a phone without all the little quirks and hiccups (and a working gps for that matter!).
Every time I start to get fed up with my Vibrant....BAM....the devs throw down and I'm left feeling silly for having doubted this little engine that could

I'd be surprised if they released a new phone without any teasers or leaks at this point. Could be focusing on the Nexus 7 moreso, but you'd think you'd have have seen something just to get the buzz going since Apple is supposed to have the next iPhone coming out sometime late this year.
I had to put my Vibrant out to pasture a couple weeks ago, and picked up the Galaxy Nexus; it's badass. The lack of an SD slot, and the camera (good, but not great) are my only complaints but it's so smooth at stock. I don't even think I'll bother with a custom ROM at this point since stock JB runs so well. Maybe the Trinity or franco kernel later, but I almost don't know what to do with my phone since I was always tinkering and tweaking my Vibrant, heh.

There was the leak of five Nexus devices a few months ago, to celebrate the five year anniversary of the open handset alliance.
Personally, I would be shocked if there wasn't a new Nexus phone in November. They are just doing a good job at keeping it hush hush.

Yea, I would be shocked too if they got no new phone for this year since they know iphone 5 will be released in late this year. I know Google always have to try to beat iphone 5 in specs. Question is with all those patent lawsuit going trying to cripple Google Now...will be suckier or better product than existing Galaxy Nexus

Google usually brings out a new phone with a new major software update, e.g. N1 (Eclair), Nexus S (GB), Galaxy Nexus (ICS). Froyo was not a major update so no new phone, and neither is Jelly Bean; however, 'Key Lime Pie' is "supposed" to be a major update so I believe Google will be releasing a new phone around December/January.

Arrgggg...I can wait till December...not sure until 2013...that would suck if I got it in Dec and they release in Jan.
I honestly think December/January will most likely be the time they release their next device....I however severely hope that I am wrong and they release it sooner lol

I am not planning on getting any new phone, at least not until a new generation is released (8 core cpu?).
Hey guys I'm having a hard time deciding whether to get the Galaxy S3 now or wait until the next Google phone. What do you guys think?

Well, with Google phone, you don't have to worry about latest ROM from google delivered to you ontime before all other phone...you won't have problem with TMobile like we did for Vibrant. I don't trust any updates from any OEM or Carrier anymore and would not get SGS S3 If you can't wait, get the Galaxy Nexus. If I were you, I'd wait for upcoming release ...with Lime Pie as like one the user mentioned. Just keep sticking around testing new XDA Vibrant ROMs The other rumor I read that was pretty interesting is that the new battery might be in case form and flexible...so that it could have more battery life. Also Tmobile bought more spectrum for 4G LTE...and should be in 2013. If so, I hope the new phone is capable of all the spectrum...and super long lasting battery. Maybe it's just a dream. Who knows...lol
PS: I just saw this Google Nexus 2 by Bob Freking...I don't know if it has any credibility...who the hell is he?

Sorry but that's pretty ugly concept with the backside and by god not Tegra. I'll stick with OMAP any day and I predict Google will go with a 2ghz dual core OMAP base on the Arm A15, rather than 4cores.

You might have answered your own question. Internet rule 1: don't believe everything you see.

There will always be something better on the horizon. Make a list of everything you want and get the phone that has it WHEN you want it.
Besides, it's hard to compare the Galaxy S3 against a phone we know nothing about.

That doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

Thankfully that's probably nothing like what it's actually going to look like lol
I read that T-mobile will be getting the Samsung Galaxy Note soon. Any opinion on that as next phone? I don't keep up with all the tech nearly as well as most here.

Samsung Galaxy Note aka phablet available 8/8/2012. I just saw it yesterday...it maybe kinda big for me and it's oem - do you want to go through the super slow OTA update as we did for the Vibrant again? I'd probably wait for the google version for true google experience.
