2.3
Announced with a video as well

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?

Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?

I KNEW IT!! haha thank you

I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.

It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.

I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.

I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...

Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.

it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

One of the stated features of GB is "better keyboard". One would assume that may mean "yes" to your question.

I believe Eclipse

Any rumblings around on whether or not Sprint/HTC will be releasing a 2.3 build...I know I'm jumping the gun considering this just happened, but wanted to get some opinions.

Does the Hero have Froyo? Does the Moment? We wont know until/if it happens.
Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

Video of Nexus S Android 2.4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrAjgYDx7yU
Here is the video of the Nexus S running android 2.4 at CES.
Cannot see any immediate differences, I hear it is just a build full of hotfixes or something...

They had the NS at CES? And why are they not speaking English

well that was pointless
wish they showed more

there is not enough evidence there for anything except that they are using a Nexus S. if you believe that video than you have to believe that im using android 7.1

get with the program guys, 7.1 is Peach Cobbler

The video is real, many sites have it reported that many manufacturers had Android 2.4 running on several devices there.

Also look at the baseband version they are running there. It is newer than ours ...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Anyone notice the i9023 baseband?
edit: /\ that guy did.

OK that video is in German. The woman in the video says that the nexus is ready to be sold and that it is not shure yet which carrier will get it. Price will be somewhere between 500 and 550€, like the sgs. It is also not clear if it will get a samoled or a slcd, she said.
I think the vid is legit, she seems to be from Samsung or something like that...

Could it be that its just a specific version of 2.3 made for German NS? Similar to the Motorolla Droid's having custom versions of 2.1/2.2? I've read a lot of rumors on 2.4 but nothing seriously confirmed. I can't imagine the UI would be that different from 2.3-2.4, but then again I didn't think that there would be such drastic difference from 2.2-2.3.
I've read alot on every android website possible concerning these rumors, and nobody really has anything solid other than alternate baseband numbers and pictures of the Xperia and NS running 2.4

In Sweden it will be called I9023. (Stated by Samsung)
How will it differ, SW/HW wise apart from the SLCD screen, will be intresting. (Prob only SW)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/android-2-4-gingerbread-breaks-loose-on-a-prototype-sony-ericsso/
The new Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc spotted with 2.4
Apparently there are few UI changes.. like new animations with icons being deleted off screen. A lot of things that weren't in 2.3 will be in 2.4.

my understanding is that it will included some features that should have been in 2.3 but didnt make it in. for example a new music player and new gtalk

when is the OTA expected to come?

Hasn't even been announced yet, so I doubt anyone even has a clue But I imagine it may launch/be released about the same time as Honeycomb is fully announced, so maybe end of January/early Feb.

I read somewhere that 2.4 is mostly going to be gingerbread with just updates. More or less how Moto Droid started with 2.0 then moved to 2.1, still eclair but it included updates and what not.

Netflix released for vibrant today.

The vibrant and a bunch of other phones added to the netflix client today.

thanks
unfortunately im getting the log-in and crash bug that the thunderbolt folks are getting

WHOO HELL YEAH
- mine has always been working for me on CM7 though but great news for people on 2.2!

On my phone, as it's trying to log in, it just quits out to the home screen. No force close message. Phone specs in my sig.

Maybe I'm just talking out of my butt here, BUT I am pretty sure you'll need to be on a 2.3 build to make this work, in spite of the fact that it's on the Market.
Anyone on Froyo actually have it working?

Exact same thing for me. Running Project V ROM. Interestingly, when I look at the supported devices for the Netflix app on the Android Market it indicates the Samsung Epic and Fascinate but doesn't explicitly list the Vibrant.

I've just got an update for Netflix. Its working on 2.2 kb5 stock!!! Try donwload and update Netflix now. It works!!!!!
Finally it works on 2.2!! The version of Netflix app is 1.3.0. No more FC after log in screen.

Or it's possible that because I've got DRM "frozen" with Titanium Backup Pro, I can't use it. Back in a few after a defrost/test!

Working for me! Watching South Park on it right now!
Running stock 2.2 w/flashed Voodoo KB1 kernel

I'm floored. Stock KB5, ****ty signal and it's streaming flawlessly.

HOT DANG!!!!!!!!!
It did not crash. I am currently streaming Mythbusters on my phone. THANKS!!! My phone is finally complete. Doing all I hoped it would since the day I bought it.
On Bionix 1.3.1 (Froyo)
PS: And my signal SUCKS right now too!

Yep, by dang if the Market didn't have an update for the Netflix app I installed may 60 minutes ago. Once that update was applied I was able to log in fine. So, it's working fine on Project V ROM.

Update: Yay!
I guess somehow when I installed the new version from the web version of the market it didn't actually install (which is quite my normal experience when installing from the web version). So I was actually trying to run version 1.2x that I had installed on my phone. I uninstalled and installed directly from the market on my phone and viola!

Works nicely with Simply Honey 3.9. Yeahhhhh )

It works for me!

Who is pissed eg22 is not either ice cream sandwhich or 2.3.5 gb?

Who like me is totally pissed off that samsung has eg22 as 2.3.4 and not either 2.3.5 or ics? I mean gb is so out that my friends would shun me for even using anything less then ics or 2.3.5.
Also when will google adopt the same update method apple uses. It will ensure timely updates. And don't say skins from the makers as they can be updated from the market just like launcher pro or spb mobile shell 3d

Simple: 2.3.5 is for Nexus S 4G to fix 4G speeds. ICS is still in development and NO phone has it yet.

who is pissed that people dont realize what version numbers are all about?

This isn't even ranting.. this is moderator work that's not needed.

lol, do you honestly expect to get ICS when google hasnt even released it yet? 2.3.5 is not anything that's gonna benefit us either. Perhaps you should stop expecting miracles and maybe you'll be happy for a change?
Edit - Also I'm a slow pony.

Oh boy, looking at your edit, Im sure glad I used the Apple example in the other thread youre moaning about ICS.

Go back under your bridge TROLL. in case you haven't noticed this is android not windows.
From cellblock D

Way to be an ungrateful sob. 2.3.5 is a Nexus S 4G ONLY build, even the original Nexus S (gsm version) isn't getting 2.3.5. As for Ice Cream Sandwich, do you really think any phone will get it before the Nexus family by Google?

Ice isn't even officially announced yet. Wont be out until Thanksgiving on the newest nexus. Then the nexus-s will get it afterwards

Obvious troll is quite obvious. Joined this month and has HTC in his username.

We are talking about Samsung, not god here...

yay i found ignore! click on the users name, click users list, click add to ignore list.

Not to mention Samsaung has inidicated the Epic goes end of life in October so it will probably never see ICS. I was going to try and ignore this thread, guess I failed.

Android 3.0 Tablet Under $200?!

I haven't got any replay on my previous Flytouch 5 post
so i have to search again and again.. if you guys find a tablet which based in Android 3.0 Honeycomb, also capacitive touch screen,and Samsung S5PV210 processor, and the most important just $189.99, what will you think? link is here
The china market has started their price war? lol
anyway, i want to share this with you guys,and i am still considering which tablet i should get...

This is certainly NOT Honeycomb. It's a Gingerbread lookalike which uses CM7 as base and is skinned like HC.
