    I don't think it was, might have been one of those little bits during the keynote where they have a slide with 'X many new features in addition to the one's we've highlighted today'

    I had heard a lot of buzz about that feature after the keynote so it probably was an easy-to-miss thing somewhere

    uh

    the jellybean that's "out" isn't official

    it's ported over from a restore image that was lifted off one of the devices google handed out at the conference

    ported over by a bunch of nerds and not people who work for google

    it's not remotely representative of what will happen when the source code comes out next week-ish

    don't be dumb

    yeah no shit

    i'm not saying i'm shocked that it was broken

    i'm saying i wish the actual thing was out because the parts of the ROM that weren't broken were fantastic

    animates smoother than ICS and i love the notification shade about 100 times more now

    i really want to see what someone like AOKP will pull out of it

    and then taking a break until the JB source arrives, at which point they'll start fresh with JB instead of trying to roll the changes into the existing build

    Hi my name is Robert and I think I have a problem. My new HTC Evo appears to be malfunctioning. I had a presentation to do today in the office and my phone had some data on it that I was going to use. Well the problem started when I was in the lavatories. I was a little bit nervous and that may have contributed to the dilemma. I have IBS and when I get nervous that means diarrhea . Well the bathroom activity didn't work out as well as I had hoped. I had my phone in my hands and I was going over the data. Well I dropped the phone in. Needless to say the data was compromised. After retrieving the phone I noticed that there was a medium-sized dab of crap smeared on the toilet. I also have a mild case of Coprophagia. I was able to resist the urge to feed on my own excrement but it came at a cost. I had to use some of the crap to cover up the bald spot on the top of my head. I mussed up my hair a little bit with it to make it look more plausible. It was the only thing I could do to keep from subcoming to my addiction. I had to steel myself for the meeting without my data. I walked through the office to the room in the back where we have our presentations. I knew they could smell it, my phone I mean, possibly my hair too. Long story short I was not able to retrieve the data and my presentation is a failure. I'm sitting down now at the meeting table writing this to you and no one is willing to meet my gaze. My penis throbs with a painful erection. Is there any way you could beam a data backup into the storage space on my phone? I could really use that data. I don't want to lose my job.

    I learned a new phrase!

    And I'm sure if Apple didn't have my balls in their finely crafted aluminum talons I would like Jellybean a lot. In fact, I'm looking forward to playing around w DHS Odium's nexus 7 when we hang next.

    MG Siegler (yeah I know, he's an apple fanboy blah blah) had a pretty good writeup the other day on why Android turned out pretty shitty, or at least, Google let it become shitty by bending over for the carriers following the original Nexus One fiasco.

    Okay, this might be a bug or something, but the latest iOS 6 beta doesn't appear to make you key in your password when updating an app.

    So there's that.

    it's not making me do that when i download updates through iTunes anymore. I'm not in the beta.

    I'm not sure how they're bending over for carriers considering they are doing the same thing with the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 except with even less carrier interaction

    he's talking out of his ass about how he grudgingly has to accept that this other thing is ok

    AbracadanielAbracadaniel Registered User regular
    I...think we are talking about two different things.

    The original Nexus One, and their plans were basically

    Pick your phone

    Pick your carrier

    You're done.

    The original thing was to make the carriers dumb pipes, competing on price

    oh hell here's the article

    and yes he's over dramatic, but whatevs

    Also, consider that you are all big fucking nerds, and aside from wiggin, have no problem figuring out how to hack your phone and install custom ROMs and whatnot

    But the average consumer? They're using whatever the hell the carrier/OEM threw on there.

    I just wish I had gotten a better one.

    I hear there are very few real issues with the Galaxy S series phones.

    I kinda early adopted the G2X.

  • Options
    JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    I hadn't had any problems with the G2x until the recent patch, but then I needed to do a factory reset in order to download/update apps, and it hasn't been the same since.

    wait, "the other day"? that column was written back in January, dude.

    which explains why he doesn't mention the Galaxy Nexus being sold unlocked on Google Play.

    Ah, he must have linked to it somewhere else since a couple days ago was the 5th anniversary of the iPhone's launch.

    So?

    Sure there is still a bit of a problem with fragmentation among all the devices but Android has been a great OS for like, several full iterations now, without needing to fuck around with your phone.

    Also if you do want to mess around with it, there is a ton of stuff that is very, very easy to do that does not require jailbreaking or custom ROMS
