I don't think any of the WP7 phones have successful android ports yet, but you can get an N9 and run ICS on it.

From Wiki: "The Xperia S is released with Android 2.3 Gingerbread but will receive an update to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich in Q2 2012."
So don't fret. I'd still go with CM9 if only because it's closer to stock.

I got myself a Sony tablet s (love it so far) and im trying to bluetooth my samsung s2 to use BT controller to use my it as a controller until i get the cable to hook up a sixaxis... but it says both devices are paired but not connected. Any ideas?
Also some tablet oriented app recommendations would be nice

Can't you just root your Tablet S and download Sixaxis Controller from the market?

Hmm well I could... to be honest i havent looked into rooting it, it seems to do everything else i want it to so i kinda wanted to keep it unrooted for now, until i feel tingly enough to go through with it
What's a good solution for printing from an Android tablet to a wired printer? I'm thinking of connecting the printer to a wireless print server. As is, the other household printer works already, although I'm not sure what method it uses for snagging documents from the tablet. The printer is wifi-enabled, has Bluetooth, and is connected to Cloud Print. It just works, so I'll leave it alone.
USB is also an option, although that's another cable to worry about. Then there's the issue of drivers...

I wonder if Chrome for Android includes Cloud Print...
Edit- It does not, unless I'm missing something.

Is it by chance a Brother printer? Brother has a nifty app that allows you to print wirelessly to their printers.
What? XDA is all about directions. Find the right thread that shows how to root and then the CM9 thread should say how to install.
So my next phone after the nexus one looks like it'll be the nokia N9 since the ICS port has an official, pretty decently running alpha now.

I don't think the galaxy nexus will hold up too well in the long run and this seems like the next best thing for my usage, not to mention the "google experience" has been shattered in my eyes since the Nexus S hasn't officially gotten 4.0 aside from the initial buggy rollout until this past week. If the Galaxy S3/next nexus end up kicking ass, I can always sell this for close to what I bought it since they don't seem to be going for much anymore.

I looked in several forums and can't find such a thread.

It's generally a great phone, it might be better to wait to see the Galaxy S3 reveal (whenever) to compare but there probably won't be any major differences.
If this is a first smartphone, maybe she doesn't need something so powerful.
It takes a few months to get used to xda.
Go to the subforum of that phone model, go to the Andrpid Development subsubforum. Read over the first 10-15 threads than you are ready to flash your phone.
They don't cater to noob so there is nothing you can do about it.

Looks like the rumor of ICS being available for the Moto Droid Razr/Maxx on April 4th is true. The file was available this morning but since pulled. Anyways, expect it official next week.

what htc phone? there are like 10000000 model variants from total crap to good. Nexus S is a pretty solid phone and it got strong support and fast updates.
Awesome. The best smartphone (Maxx) on the market gets even bettet.
Nexus S to an EVO Shift is like comparing a Honda Fit to a NSX

signed into facebook from my phone and now all those contacts are on my phone list how do I remove them?
how do I remove them?Ah, sorry for my poor reading comprehension. I don't know the Evo Shift 4g since it's a US phone but i think it is quite capeable. Nexus S has NFC chip the Evo Shift don't has but the nexus has no notification light/led. You also have to know if you want vanilla Android (Nexus S even got ICS update didn't it?) while the Evo has htc's Sense overlay and it maybe take ages till it gets ICS update (if ever).

So I'm approaching my internal memory limit. I currently have around 300 (total) apps and I take it I can't use the so-called USB memory correct? Will a microsd card help?

go into settings in the FB app and turn off "Sync Contacts."

Thanks so much. Not familiar with Android at all so it's kind of confusing. One more question, how can I put music on my phone through the micro USB to USB cable?
EDIT: Nevermind, got it!

April of last year. I remember because i wanted it so bad. They are totally delaying the launch. The 6 month gap between the EU and NA launched hurt them. It made their amazing phone less special to wait that long. The reveal will come when they can get the carriers demands in line and launch as close as possible in all regions.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I'm brand new to Android and immediately noticed how few of the apps I've downloaded give the ability to move them out of internal storage. It just seems odd with so many different devices with varying memory specs, but then again what do I know?
No sim card slot that I can see under the battery case. I'm relatively certain that factory resetting should give me the option to set my number on to my wife's phone.
Not really worried about Google backup, since I did a factory reset before on my Droid Inc and had pretty much most of the big stuff on my microSD card.
Thanks for the heads up.
Honestly, fuck this hacky work-around Android bullshit. I can't even update a Nexus S to 4.0.4 with the update straight from googles website. Not only did i have to run through rings to get to the point of downloading fastboot in order to make some progress but now it needs some USB drivers for the device which no one can fucking seem to get work. If you can't even figure how to make a god damn USB driver for your devices Google how in the hell do you expect us to trust an entire operating system to you.

Had a play with the One X in CPW in London today, far nicer than i thought it would be. Feels light but not as light as my SG2, felt more solid though. The screen put my SG2s to shame, and the camera took some great photos, the ability to take pics while recording video was pretty neat as was the stereo sound while recording. The one I was messing around with had approx 25% batt left and had been used quite a bit, taking photos, BT and wifi on web browsing etc and was last put on charge around 22 hrs before I got my hands on it, dont think the battery for normal use will be an issue.
Where the S is the NSX right?
tmobile or ATT? The USB drivers will download if you use a newer version of the SDK I believe. Are you trying to use SDK 13?

Fuck, end of May/early June? I guess we're not getting vanilla ICS (the Play has vanilla Gingerbread).
Yeah, it was confirmed some time ago.
Impression on sense 4? They say it is toned down and not so bloated anymore. How fast is the camera release?
Droid-GAF, I'm in need of your advice.
I was originally planning to get a Lumia 800/900 but the impossibility of finding any recent Windows Phone around here as well as the fact that my uncle just got me an Xperia S as a gift that I'll be getting around next week has postponed my foray into WP until Apollo phones are out. I'm currently using an Atrix and I'm pleased with it so far.
I'm honestly quite confused with what to do with it, it seems like an alright phone but there's nothing remarkable about it with the exception of the design, so do I:
- Keep it?
- Sell/Trade it for a Galaxy Nexus? (Or a Note? But it's kinda too big.. )
- Wait for the GS3/HTC One and then sell/trade for one?
I'm kinda leaning towards the Nexus option since it's already out, it's a Nexus, and the onscreen buttons are pretty alluring, but I don't really know if the other choices offer anything substantially better.

Yeah but they want to release before the iPhone and not too behind from the One X, so I am guessing July the latest.
