if you are rooted you need to do a work around to get it activated.
This is so annoying. The S III is new and it's not supported. Such BS.

GS2 doesn't have NFC anyway, so why would you need it?
The TMo and ATT versions have nfc. I think the Sprint one is the odd man out.
I think some international versions have it too.

A question to fellow GS2 owners: my phone sometimes gets really hot after browsing/playing. Sometimes I close it down, come back to my phone after a few hours and the battery is depleted... :/ There were times when my phone's screen just randomly gets up and stays at the lockscreen untill the battery runs out.
Is this a known glitch?

nobody made a thread for this!?
I almost did because I'm so (unreasonably) excited about it. Go for it.
You could always necro the old thread.

I'm wondering if you can have one credit card tied to different accounts. Hmm.
It was actually phandroid.

Ok, I am sick and fucking tired of google search coming up (i assume this is part of google now?) every time i hit the back button and it registers as a long tap because the app was a bit slow. I have now turned off, is there another switch i can hit to get rid of this option?
What device?

So I guess Launcher 7 is really shitty on ics/jb that's what appears to have been making my NS run like crap. =(
Back to to launcher2.

Xoom on jelly bean.
If i update from me gapps version to the market version in a rooted rom will it break?
Oh, that's more or less within my budget actually. I was looking to spending under 300, but I could splurge I suppose. And since it'd be a new phone, I wouldn't have to deal with any of the rest of the hassle.
Thanks for the great recommendation!

Modern versions of Android (3.0+) almost up to 1/5 of the pie, nice.
I have the feeling Jelly Bean is going to go up quickly because of the Nexus 7 selling well and it being rolled out to all the Galaxy Nexii shortly. Hopefully. Maybe. >_<

There are more devices running Froyo or older.

2013 will be the year Android really moves from 2nd wave Android into modern Android where IMO things really finally came together with ICS. Just gotta wait till later this year into next when all of those Gingerbread owners make their next move.
It'll be a godsend when 4.0 can be the baseline adk for apps.

unfair comparision really
Funny. How that myth gained so much traction, I'll never know. It's actually a little scary how many people blindly accepted that myth without any critical thinking.
Getting back on the recent topic in this thread: I absolutely can't wait until a large percentage of devices are all running on 4.X versions of Android. I really like the look of Jelly Bean and Holo apps and it finally feels like Android has "grown up"/matured. I also think it looks better and cleaner than iOS in a lot of respects now.

LOL.. Nice Catch...
Still just going by the evolution that ICS is and the #s it just makes sense. Most people on Gingerbread phones in NA will be coming off their contracts in the next 18 months, and even in say Europe where they aren't on contract the phones will be getting to the point where your average customer upgrades.
We're getting to the point where everything sold on contract (or an on contract like phone) is all going to be stock ICS. All of the new stuff going forward is going to be Android 4.0 +, and most of the old stuff still being sold has been upgraded. There are a few holders on like the Inspire, but from all accounts these phones are being phased out.
The wild card in all of this is how soon they can get a good prepaid phone that's ICS stock verse Froyo/Gingerbread. Still it seems nothing precludes ICS from running on older hardware (just look at the Nexus S) so this shouldn't really be an issue.
This is all coming from the belief that ICS is the big turning point for Android as a whole, and everything else is just going up and up from there.
Now if we can just get all of the apps going forward to use the 4.0.3/4 ADK it would be $$$ as it's quite a larger jump from most apps still targeting Froyo as their baseline.

When you're at roughly 80% non ICS+ your screwing more than just some of the plebs.

My co-worker makes fun of my phone since he has jb on his nexus.

So I got out of my contract today on the proviso that I give them my phone (SGS2) back.
Piece of shit Optus had continuous drop-outs and non connections/network registration errors at my office.
Anyway, so I need a new phone and I', going to Telstra. Paying a premium but after dealing with two shitty providers, it's going to be worth it.
I am considering holding off on a new contract until the next NEXUS is released. Does anybody have any idea when that is? Or speculation on the manufacturer?

It has less stutter than ICS, but there's still some. There are new animations all over the place.

Can I remove the useless Google Search bar on my home screen without flashing another ROM?
You should be able to do it with either Nova or Apex launcher.

Right, I forgot to mention that I don't want to use another launcher. So the answer is no.
Fair enough. If you don't mind me asking - what does the stock launcher have that Nova or Apex doesn't?
