Google is rolling out updates far too quickly.

17. Cesar posted on 20 Nov 2012, 02:26 6 19

TOTALLY! They need to calm down

I see what you're saying. But, what? Are you asking Google to give you all the updates to make your phone better later rather than sooner? No. Of they've got some great new features they can add, I think they should roll the update out as soon as it is ready

But that leaves a lot of phones in the dust, and makes consumers feel obligated to buy new products more often. Even with Nexus devices, you get 2-3 updates immediately (unlocked), maybe 3-4 with the Nexus 4 hardware; if Google releases the updates as soon as they're ready, that would be about 2-3 updates a year.

Google needs to hold out updates by maybe 1 or 2 a year. phones are just now getting Jelly Bean 4.1, now there's 4.2 and now this rumored 5.0?

Google is not rolling out updates too quickly, its the carries and manufacturers that are just not rolling them out quick enough. I think it makes much more sense to release improvements or new features as soon as possible rather then wait till next year just so everyone could catch up. Now if having the latest software is that important to you as soon as it comes out, then just go w a nexus device.

I bet android 5 will be as disappointing as nexus 4 with its sad display of performs that lags and freezes, an embarassing camera with feature that no one would ever use, and for goodness even the lg optimus g out perform the nexus. But what do andrones say "OH IT MUST BE A DRIVER AND SOFTWARE ISSUE" bleh please lets just say that people like apple and even good ole lg knows how to make a better phone than---- google...

You do understand that LG wanted to work with Google on the Nexus 4, right? They both collaborated together on the device.

As far as a camera with a "feature that no one would ever use", I will certainly laugh at that statement when a few months from now Apple comes out with their own version of the same feature and everyone calls it "genius".

U r write in a away but too far LG are not popular when it comes to smartphone industry and I'm unhappy that google chose LG as there nexus device I'm shocked and pulling hairs because it would have been way more successful for HTC to make it, I wanted HTC to make a nexus but hopefully they will have there turn next year

24. mr.techdude posted on 20 Nov 2012, 03:36 1 1

And srlsly why did google roll out 4.2 when they could have saved all that niffty features to 5.0, I'm an android fan and now that google (android)is crushing the competition it shows me that releasing updates too early makes them think that there fans are not gonna care especially when my HTC one x gets updated to jelly bean and now there's 4.2 I have to wait and then there's 5.0 its going to make fans frustrated

You should write your comments using correct words in the form of sentences.

lol obviously it is a software issue if the Optimus G outperforms the Nexus 4 and they have identical chipsets..

After reading your post, I was trying to come up with an answer that would fit, but after spotting your name I now understand why you post such a thing and all I can do is LOL_rightnow.

Next Android update Google I/O 2013......

Agreed. It's hard not to agree with AWiseGuy.

31. remixfa posted on 20 Nov 2012, 07:04 0 2

Agreed. It's crap. And the possibility of them announcing/ launching it at the beginning of the year? about 0.000000001%.

adreno 220, really? that is a snapdragon s3! what in the world do i need an android 5.0 for such a garbage processor.. i think they mean adreno 320, snapdragon s4-prime?

8. Mxyzptlk posted on 20 Nov 2012, 02:15 2 6

Debunked.

15. Dr.Phil posted on 20 Nov 2012, 02:24 4 0

The Sony Nexus that was rumored was indeed debunked, but it does not mean Sony could not be working with Google on a Nexus device for in the future. If they were to be working on such a phone, they could be using this device for software testing.

But the hardware can't go backwards. Nexus 4 is a qualcom-quad so it's unlikely they'd go back to qualcom-dual. I'm thinking for the next Nexus they'd be using the next gen tegra or even the supposedly last TI OMAP chip.

I highly doubt an Adreno 220 GPU would be in a Nexus device unless they are trying to sell one at $100. This is a low to mid-tier phone.

That was a hoax.

43. flexile posted on 20 Nov 2012, 14:47 0 0

I know the one that supposedly leak was a hoax, however, the guy who made it said that his intentions were to make Sony see the potential of a Xperia Nexus, so maybe there's the result...

so buy a Nexus and you have no problem.....its your choice ;)

37. chaoticrazor posted on 20 Nov 2012, 08:56 0 0

but android users always brag about the amount of choice...if your saying buy a nexus only then there isnt any point having all those android phones coming out

I have 4.2 on my Droid RAZR, N7 and Captivate....

45. SellPhones82 posted on 20 Nov 2012, 15:52 0 0

What do you mean by unsupported? How does a phone having 4.04, or 4.1.2, or 4.2 have anything to do with support? ICS and above are what most apps are designed for. The only main thing I see would be Google Now and really how is that any different from Apple not having Siri on the iPhone 4? So is the iPhone 4 unsupported then? Should Google just send out half a$$ed updates with the new features removed and still call it a "new" OS...al la Apple?

46. SellPhones82 posted on 20 Nov 2012, 15:59 0 0

Are you on VZW by chance? If so, that's your problem and you need to root! If I can have ICS and JB on a 3 year old EVO then I'm sure there is a Rom for whatever phone you have.

ohhhh i have root its just that verizon locked my bootloader so i cant flash kernels so no ics/JB for me.....BTW i have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

No mate no company cares about you, and ios6 on the 3gs is water down

So to set it straight Google,apple,microsoft all don't care about you
