Regarding 4.0.3 and future updates and news feeds - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there a blog or RSS feed or something that I could follow to get updates about future Android versions?
I know that Chrome browser has a wonderful blog that details version updates and what features are added and what bugs are fixed, does something remotely similar exist for Android?
Maybe there are people that should be followed on Google+? Twitter feeds? Other related blogs?
Having Galaxy Nexus phone I am a lot more keen to stay up to date with Android version updates that may or may not also end up on my Android devices.

Hey, you are in the most comprehensive place for updates in my opinion. I get all my Android info right here and from some other sources like android headlines and android guys etc. The guys here very rarely miss anything. If you do find something official from Google or Samsung share it

I'd be interested in something like this too. Seems like every time I have a phone that doesn't get the OTAs because it's modded, I wind up with some paranoia that I don't have the latest version of Android. Would be nice to have an app or blog or something that I can go thru and instantly read "Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Current Version 4.02" instead of having to sift thru tons of posts and replies to find out what's actually official.

I believe that if you want to know the official thing, you should check here:
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
I don't think that a 4.0.3 image will be published there before the OTA updates start to roll out... On the other hand, the updates might start to roll out and they might not publish the 4.0.3 image.
But, as said, I think here is the best place to check if anyone is getting any OTA updates.

Cheers. A little disappointed though, Google does such a wonderful job publishing version details and updates of Chrome browser. Android is such a mystery in comparison. I would always like to stay on top of things.

Think you're right. I'm pretty sure I saw a post somewhere from Jean-Baptiste Queru saying the image file would be posted only after the OTA push.

There is Android blog, but its updates are far less technical compared to Chrome blog that deals with version updates and features. Sometimes they cover some things on Android blog, but often they are focusing on less-technical matters. It covers more things that are already there rather than things under development and freshly released.

You can also follow @android on Twitter too, if you are into that.

So you want more technical.. here you go: http://developer.android.com/index.html
It's amazing what a little application of technology called "Google Search" will be able to find if you use it.

There is an abundance of technical information available for android, right down to the code itself.

I did not ask technical information about Android right down to the code itself. I already have that, I have developed for Android for more than a year.
I meant information about new version updates, problems and fixes. Something similar to what they have for Google Chrome.

4.0.2 sucks so laggy I want 4.0.3 now lol

just wondering why don't we have a single thread here with which the entire purpose is only to track the effort to port over android without having to include in all of the feedbacks and the like. it can help make it a lot more easier for everyone to keep an eye on these progress instead of having to sort through each of the very very long threads. for instance, as far as I can tell, one of the recent XDANDROID release just fixed the automatic screen orientation.
Hopes this can be set because it can make it easier for ppl to get started on using android on their TP2 instead of having to try to figure out which is the best option for their devices or preferences.

Unfortunately during the process of development it is not that easy to put everything in one place. You can visit these threads and websites for the most current information on what is working and where to get packages for android builds hope this helps.

As Justin stated, if you are so inclined, there is a link to the glemson kernel/modules database. This is the newest/freshest kernels as they get pumped out nice and hot, however, using these does not always increase performance, and can sometimes even disable certain features/fixes. For instance, when they fixed the 3d drivers for the Diam/Raph it broke the hardware 3d for the Topaz/Rhod, and we had to wait a few days for a fix to be released.

Missing apps in the Market, this will repeat and forever (April 23, 2010)

UPDATE:
As of April 23, 2010 HTC Desire users can see / buy protected apps from the Android Market !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, this has been discussed again and again.
We have to wait until Google finished finger-printing the phone firmware and added it to the Market. Something like Google should certify the phone firmware to be able to use the Market.
Granted, no problem with that ... if Google can do it very quickly.
But how long???
This will be a long wait ... or VERY LONG WAIT
Take a look from the official Google Android Market forum support:
Even the HTC Legend is still having this issue (which was released earlier)
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=683d89c4f4fd4593&hl=en
After more than 1 month, it is still not fixed !!!
And this is for HTC Hero:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=3529bae358433fcd&hl=en
Started on July 22, 2009 ... Until March 2010 ... Or is it still till now??? Probably on certain firmware from certain mobile operators or whatnot.
I really cannot believe Google screws this great Android platform like this.
Think about the next firmware update, from Google or HTC ... We will AGAIN get this issue ... Then wait again very long.
I am really mad and hate this. The phone is nice, but this? Do I forced to find "elsewhere" (pirated, cracked version of Android apps)?
If one of you guys is capable of writing a good professional article or blog regarding this issue, we could spread the voice all over the internet / twitter / facebook / blogs / news so Google could "end" or "fix" this.
Because this is unacceptable ... will REPEAT (every firmware update) and FOREVER
PS: This is repost from AndroidForums.com by me.
It's staggering really. Particularly like google Earth. I can't get that through the android market!
This should be fixed....
will a rooted desire solve the problem?

I think so, since at that point you can change your phone "ID", so the market thinks it is a nexus/G1/X10 etc etc.
If there si a phone with full access to the market, you change your ID to that one et voilá...
how about changing from a T-Mobile ROM to a generic one?
I'm have a desire with the same issue, running the latest generic firmware. I have to source apps I can't find on the market place elsewhere. There really needs to be more urgency put on the finger printing process by Google!
Think Google have their dummy out as the Nexus isnt doing too well lol
Seriously though. This is bad. The iphone/pod does so well because of the apps. Microsoft are doing so badly because of the apps. Google dont shoot yourself in the foot.
Its sad as I told my mate today that the android just lacks big named titles then I go on cryket and there are some cool titles Gameloft & EA but not found on the marketplace when I search.
Really is a pity we have to wait so long.

Knowing HTC they probably won't release many updates for the Desire anyway, unless they've realised that in order to sell more units they need to provide fixes!

Hahaha, don't be daft now! When do HTC ever really fix issues? Thats why we all love xda so much.
This won't help ... I am using generic one
This issue is silly ... I cant support Android platform by spending money on apps. I want to do this to support Android developers so they will be happy and encouraged to develop more better apps.
If I am a developer, I will be really mad ...
Some apps are in http://www.slideme.org , but not all.

This guy is making work of the market problem. At least for the Legend. So let's hope this will also solve the problem for the Desire.
Otherwise we have to wait for root acces and alter the build.prop file ourselves.

As far as I can gather, he says nothing specifically about the market problem, he's just saying an OTA is underway for the Legend that should fix that phone's specific problems getting apps that need access to the camera.
He says nothing about the missing protected apps, and nothing about the Desire either.
Just got off the phone to HTC:
Apparently there is a ROM update to fix this in the works which will be released in "the next four weeks". She was quite adamant that it wasn't just a Google thing...
I gave her a list of apps that I couldn't download and she said she'd pass it on.
She did say that the more people that call up and report this the better. It then lets HTC know how much pain its causing.
Get calling!
Oh boy ... 4 weeks??? I hope HTC will roll out a very good list of patches!
If it will include "Flash 10.1" with hardware acceleration, then I will forgive them (HTC and Google)
Google IO conference will be on May 19 - 20.
I wrote an article about it as suggested and its up
http://www.rcrwireless.com/article/...121/htc-desire-has-android-marketplace-issues
We should spread this out.
But, why do you only mention "unbranded" ??? Because this issue happen on ALL HTC Desire devices released till today.

Good. Thanks for the article.
But I have one of the first T-mobile Desire's bought direct from T-mobile (1.15.110.11) and I still can't see protected apps like Tapatalk, Google Earth, etc. So the problem isn't restricted to unbranded phones as your article suggests.

Official Engadget App

about an hour ago i was skimming through the new apps in the marketplace and came upon an engadget app (not engadget reader). I went ahead and downloaded it. Right off the bat i could tell this was the official engadget app. Great metro ui integration, very smooth interface and offered podcast and videos integrated into the app. I was a little suspicious of the app and whether or not it was the official one, but it had an about page with all the copyright info from engadget. Right before typing this I searched once more for this app and it seems that it has been pulled from the marketplace as well as the engadget reader.
Did anyone else download this app before it was pulled?
It's unfortunate that it got pulled down before I could get it. I have the Engadget reader and it's lacking. I want an official Engadget app ASAP!
Good to hear about it being smooth with metro UI integration though.
I managed to get it before it disappeared.
Wonder what got it yanked?
What is it like, screenshots?
Microsoft seems to be really strict about their guidelines. They have guidelines for everything from User Interface to how long u have for the app to load/resume to distributing it on the marketplace, lol.

I got it. Settings button restarts it, might be why they pulled it so it's fixed. Give it a go and see if it's the same for you.
Ok it wasn't an offical Engadget app or they would have had an artical on it. much like all the BBC apps none are offical BBC apps. the apps that Engadget has for IOS and Android are offical. from what I was told they will be having one soon but it wasn't that app.

I have been trying to get this app since it was discovered on the 16th. My guess is that it was released, found to be buggy, and then pulled back. One thing about the WP7 marketplace is that Microsoft actually QA's the apps during the approval process. Android, never. Apple, yes. But it is to look for anti-apple or sexy stuff(j/k).
My buddy has been trying to get his WP7 GPS app approved for quite some time now. It keeps getting rejected for various QA and functionality requirements that keeps the WP7 ecosystem efficient and functional. So props to Microsoft for being sticklers about the quality of apps released(the purpose and types of apps release is another thing).
In case people want to keep checking for the app, here's the link to Zune d/l: http://ow.ly/3ZWl0

The ATRIX 4G lagged its way to a 9/10 (or was it 9.5?) on Engadget and I believe the Galaxy S[hit] got a pretty high score as well even though its lag and GPS issues were well-known at the point of review...

Ask Ziggy App on the Market Place for Windows Phone Tries To Be What Siri Is For iOS

It really sucks for them that the released this video (and generated all this hype) while the old ****ty version is still in the market place. Apparently the one making the rounds is a new one not updated in the market place yet.

Well that just sucks; I wonder what all they fixed on the new one and where we can get it.
The old version works fine for me. The only thing you cant do is control parts of the os like setting alarm and reminders. But that's MSFTs fault or not allowing apps to do that.

It is a difficult problem to solve. In the last 24 hours, 244 new apps were added. Ask Ziggy came out on on 12/22.
As far as featured is concerned, I don't know their criteria but outside of being featured on a small time Windows Phone blog there wasn't anything notable about the app. It didn't start hitting the major blogs until that. I imagine featured apps are submitted for it, and typically have a fair number of downloads or at least positive reviews.
But it is a problem that you can only find interesting apps via news and blogs. Hopefully there is a good solution.

It's just not listed under "new releases" because it's not new. It's been on the marketplace for quite some time now. For some reason it has just not gained popularity until now.
Hmmm could be you don't see "ask ziggy" in the "new" section because.... Its not new? Not sure when the version that's out was published but people are saying the new one in all the WP7 articles isn't out yet. I'm sure as soon as it is you'd find it in the 'new' section of whatever subsection it goes in. Just my two cents

I browse the "New" category all the time. It's a habit with me, an this app has never been listed there. Nor has it ever been listed in the "Top" or "featured" categories. Think about all those devs out there that release new, high-expectation apps that nobody is buying or using because the majority of people outside of these forums and specific media sites don't know about them. Most people find new stuff by browsing the "New" categories. One poster said Ask Ziggy was released on 12/22. I just found out it existed yesterday by reading this thread.
Serious eye-rolling happening right now.

Android 10 bugs/how to roll back

Just updated to android 10 and the front facing is huge because the pixels around it are black making it extremely noticeable now. Is there any way to fix this? Also before updating I saw it said I could roll back easily but it seems there is nothing to let me do that in settings... I really hope somebody can help :good:
Thats why it is BETA. If you arnt commited to bugs, crying in the forums how to downgrade, then WHY IN THE WORLD did you apply in to the beta program???
As there is no way to mannualy update from android 9 to 10 (you brick your device) so i doubt that it is possible to downgrade.
The only thing you can do is to send a report to honor about this problem and wait untill they fix it.

Thats why it is BETA. If you arnt commited to bugs, crying in the forums how to downgrade, then WHY IN THE WORLD did you apply in to the beta program???
As there is no way to mannualy update from android 9 to 10 (you brick your device) so i doubt that it is possible to downgrade.

Why are you rude? He just asked a question.
You can probably roll back to Android 9 via USB OTG firmware install, however this will trigger a factory reset and erase all of your data from the device.

Just updated to android 10 and the front facing is huge because the pixels around it are black making it extremely noticeable now. Is there any way to fix this? Also before updating I saw it said I could roll back easily but it seems there is nothing to let me do that in settings... I really hope somebody can help :good:

This update will roll back your phone's operating system to Android 9.0 (EMUI 9.1).

<features module="Rollback notes:" type="end">
<feature>
1. Please make sure you are currently using the official version of Huawei EMUI, and that no unofficial updates have been installed. Otherwise, there will be risk of an unsuccessful rollback, and an unknown error may occur. 2. Make sure that the current version has not been unlocked or rooted. 3. All user data will be deleted in the rollback. Use an SD card, computer, or Cloud storage to back up all important data before rolling back your phone, and make sure all backed up content is complete and effective. 4. Make sure your phone has more than 50% battery remaining. 5. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the Huawei customer service hotline or visit an authorized Huawei service center for assistance. 6. The system will restart after the rollback. This will take about 10 minutes.

I'm confused how you got it because the beta stopped ages ago and no one in the UK received it
Use HiSuite to revert back to Magic UI 2.1.0. Connect phone enable HDB and click on update select previous version.

Friend im not rude. But it is BETA participation software, on which you will get bugs, mishaps and apps that wont work because of incompatibilities. When you participate in this program YOU as a good Samaritan-for free, catch all of these problems, submit errors to manufacturer so they can acknowledge, fix and make final/stable version to roll out worldwide.
If you are not ready, to actively participate in the program- living with bugs and catching them. WHY JOIN THE PROGRAM?!??
'Just because' you can get newer android on the device 'faster' than everyone else? And then cry in xda about bugs and asking how to revert back... Please............
Im not picking on topics author, nor other authors that flooded this forum with cry for help after living on beta software realizing that the beta is buggy as a daily driver. Im asking for simple basic knowledge. That it is beta stage software with bugs that you are agreeing to submitting when you catch them and living with them untill huawei fixes them.
Flooding XDA - community based 3rd party forums, that isn't connected to huawei nor any other manufacturer, and asking here about beta software problems, does no one nothing good. It only supports the theory on how clueless a person was when joined the beta program and didn't read the disclaimer on what he/she accepted when taking part.

As far as I know info from huawei that there was some sort of problem when it was rolling out for UK region, dont know if it is true, but huawei stated this. (Mby because of brexit, all the legal stuff or something.)
Thats why uk users couldnt join the program when the beta registration was open.

The guy asked nicely for help, XDA forums are there to help people connect, share and help each other. You came and mocked him, and turned this thread into a fight. Shame on you.

Sorry mate but I dont know why I said "really" which made it sound like I was desperate to roll back. But I was just commenting on the issue with the front facing camera and how it said you will be able to roll back but you actually couldn't "easily". Hardly crying imo, I reported the bug on the beta app and brought it up on here wanting to know if someone had a fix and then you come here and completely overeact. Grow up.
The only solution i can think is that you connect your phone to pc/laptop to the Huawei desktop app(HWsuite) and if it prompts you for update, all is well, otherwise you chose other version and it prompts you to stock, so you follow procedures. If you don't own pc, go to store where you bought it to sent you to official service and they will help you for free, no worries
