While I'm super pumped for this phone, if Google or even Samsung doesn't address the epic failures of Android 4.2.x, this'll be one ugly release...

And it'll be out in Q2 of this year. Just in time for my double-annual upgrade.

I know the intermittent slow charge is present even on 4.1.2, though for the most part it charges fine.odditude wrote:epic failures? haven't seen any of them on my n7. were they already resolved in 4.2.1 or 4.2.2?
Awesome. Can't wait to get back into the CM fray.. Besides, I've heard that most of the new gimmicks loaded onto the S4 are ho-hum at best right now.snkcube wrote:Those bugs in that link seem to mostly affect the Nexus devices, so the S4 probably won't have the issues. The hacking community for Android devices is quite popular, so you'll definitely see popular ROMs like CM on the S4.
yeah really... on the other hand as far as I know it went from S2, then S3, then Note 2, now S4.snkcube wrote:Anyway, I have to wait another year before my contract is up. By that time, Samsung will announce the S5. Haha.
Interesting... then perhaps I'll have to find the latest CM for the Nexus 7 based off 4.2.2 and give it a go. I've been DYING to dual boot it with Ubuntu anyway. Also I'd have to find the latest stock firmware for the N7 and give that a go first to be sure I'm not hallucenating or whatever.Bent wrote:Yeah that list is pretty old, and most have been addressed in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. Also, those are the bugs in AOSP, and any phone maker (or even custom rom builder) will clear those bugs up in their builds. Samsung's TouchWiz is a major customization and wouldn't stand for such major bugs.
never had that problem. latency sucks, though, so i just use a usb otg cable unless twitch timing doesn't matter.adventure_of_link wrote:I know the intermittent slow charge is present even on 4.1.2, though for the most part it charges fine.odditude wrote:epic failures? haven't seen any of them on my n7. were they already resolved in 4.2.1 or 4.2.2?
and 4.2.2 wouldn't sync my PS3 controller via sixaxis. I LOVE that thing.

USB OTG eh... seems interesting. looks like I'll have to pick one of these puppies up. Does it make sixaxis work on _any_ device, even most modern HTC devices (and the few Samsungs that had problems with BT over sixaxis)? Same goes for regular USB game controllers too. (hey even if sixaxis doesn't work, that's OK -- I should be able to find my PSX -> USB conversion, somewhere... and get a new-ish PS2 controller and have it that way.odditude wrote:never had that problem. latency sucks, though, so i just use a usb otg cable unless twitch timing doesn't matter.
i wish htc still made stock phones. loved my g1, love my g2, wish there had been a g3. while i don't really need a hw keyboard, it's awesome for emulated rpgs or tetris dx. limited key rollover makes contra even more hilarious than on a gpp.
although my dream phone would be a modern gsm xperia play, as built by htc, running stock android. too bad that'll never happen.
no. the device has to explicitly support USB OTG (i.e. USB port can function both in host and device mode).adventure_of_link wrote:Does it make sixaxis work on _any_ device
I believe they have a memory leak as well. At least that's how it appeared to me when I was using the last monthly on my Galaxy Nexus.odditude wrote:ditto. love my n4 - although the latest cm10.1 M release seems to have a battery-draining bug (i'm seeing heavy usage by System that wasn't there in the previous M).
Nothing wrong with that. Apps have come a long way in bringing great functionality without requiring root. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. When it became apparent my Nexus wasn't really a Nexus, I took matters into my own hands. The only apps I use that require root are AdAway and SoftkeyZ. My other root apps exist because I'm rooted, if I'm making sense.kode54 wrote:Ah, I haven't tried any custom ROMs yet, just using vanilla 4.2.2.
