Will ICS run on a Galaxy S II? I'm getting kinda fed up with the stock music player and some of the other stuff (terrible stock keyboard, music starting out of the blue after entering and leaving my car, ect) but don't want to bother with rooting/ect if a simple upgrade will fix most of the issues :|

Everything that has leaked about the Nexus Prime so far makes me regret getting a Galaxy SII.

This is not logical behavior.

Ashhong · (10-07-2011, 09:23 PM)

Sounds like normal behavior to me

If I were to guess I would think the GSII would get ICS eventually. I would not bet on a timely release though. Rooting and installing a custom ROM would obviously be the fastest route. Might as well read up on it when the time comes to see if it's something you want to do.

Samsung is not known for speedy upgrades, I think that has even more weight when their new flagship phone already runs the newer Android version.

I'm not sure if it will officially get ICS, and if it does I doubt very much that it will get it before the year ends, but unofficially it'll probably be one of the first phones to get it.

As for your problems, download Smarter Keyboard or any of the other countless keyboards, and Winamp or any of the other countless media players?

A GS2 will run ICS so I wouldnt sweat it. As for the hardware improvements, well Id agree with you there, the GS2 is 7 months old, and should have been out closer to 5-7 months ago TBH. Ridiculous and inexcusable how long it took to get here.

If we always waited for the next big thing, we'd still be on Nokia 3210s.

Well, maybe Nokia 3330. Can't do without WAP.

I JUST JUMPED SHIP.

Now a GS2 user. I have had a Xoom since april, so i am somewhat use to android by now, but the thought of never using an iphone again, since i got one in 07, is weird to me now. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am going to have to learn to not use itunes now for all my podcasting and more. WHOLE NEW WORLD BABY

I am one of the few who like iTunes, if you want to still use it check out iSyncr on the Market.

Is there any music player that has podcast support? Seems like such a no-brainer.

Google Plus 2.0 leaked as well:

rabhw · (10-07-2011, 09:53 PM)

So it's pretty clear at this point that there's a Prime out in the wild with someone more than willing to leak APK's instead of just screens/video.

I wish whoever is leaking these would take some better pics of the device itself, JUST TURN IT OVER PLEASE.

Jayayess1190 · (10-07-2011, 09:55 PM)

I will be using a Droid Incredible until 2015.

Cudder · (10-07-2011, 10:02 PM)

You guys think that video of Music 4.0 is smooth? I love android but it seems like it runs the same as previous versions. Maybe it needs to be seen on the Prime.

I advise everyone to download PowerAMP 2.0. Looks way cooler, and is a much better functioning music player.

gcubed · (10-07-2011, 10:02 PM)

ummm, looking at the leaked apk's...

dare i say it... is google keeping a consistent UI throughout their apps? amazing

It comes with swype but swype is pretty terrible (way too cluttered, the space bar is basically non existant. The stock one would be fine if it just offered predictive spellings, but for some reason that doesn't even work. As for the music stuff, I've had issues on my previous phone where having multiple music apps would result in two songs playing at once, one from each app :|

You know, all this time I thought the open being sloppy, disjointed, unpolished, and a bit janky was simply coppernicus's nod to the android.

Seems I overestimated him.

Haha, luckily I have had it since its release here in Europeland. :p

Pushing the Chord button causes a force close on my tablet.

Jtwo · (10-07-2011, 10:10 PM)

So I'm kinda sad that gnarly notification LED isn't showing up in any of these leaks.

rozay · (10-07-2011, 10:13 PM)

Anyone else think the prime is too big? I was hoping the bottom bezel would be smaller since it has on-screen softkeys, but its still larger than the top bezel. Also in that video of the guy using it, he seemed to have trouble holding it.

My wife and I both have Evo Shifts.

Coud've gone with anything, but both wanted keyboards. Compared to the original Evo, it lacks HDMI, front facing camera, kick stand. None of which we either had a need for in the 8 months we got them.

It's also 800Mhz chip, instead of the 1Ghz... but apparently it's so much more efficient that it's faster? I read that a few places online before getting the phones.

And they have a smaller screen, whihc is just right imo. The original EVO felt so bulky, but maybe I could have gotten used to it.

Their cool, but I'm already wanting something elite like the Nexus Prime or Galaxy S II...

We're happy with them them though... for now.

yeah, I've had to suffer weird swype-isms too, and sammy's keyboard is shit, which is why I mentioned Smart Keyboard, though there may well be better keyboards in the market. I'm not having any duplicate music issues.

So I'll take it like a pro.

Megathreads totaling more than 20,000 posts would tax the bandwidth of the forum excessively. I don't know what situation is with the new servers, but that's what the reason was before.

It's in beta right now, you can get it from their official site. Official 2.0 release sometime in mid October. :)
