Will windows 8 be att's hostage as well? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not really excited about the iphone to be honest but in terms of keeping the platform healthy and updated apple is the best.
Any opinions guys?

Not sure where you got this notion from, but right now, AT&T and T-Mobile have been the primary carriers for WP7 because other carriers chose NOT to carry it.
At this point in time, ALL Major carriers (globally) have announced in one way or another that they WILL be carrying WP8 devices.

Thanks for your reply. I was a little buzzed when I wrote my post. What I mean by 'hostage' is that the carriers will take control over the updating process. It's been happening that ms releases new updates and ATT has to authorize them first before anyone else. On the iphone that doesn't happen as the carriers don't have anything to do with the updates released by apple.
Cheers.

On WP8 you will be able to override the carrier - not sure if the day it gets released or whether there will be few weeks delay.

I'm never buying a non-Nexus device again

I've had the N7 for less than a day and I'm head over heels in love with it. My next phone will be a Nexus for sure.
Useless thread but I just had to share the love.
If everyone bought Nexus devices because of the prompt updates, it would kick other manufacturers into investing in larger software development teams to deliver updates ontime.

As long as there is a choice I will always go for a Nexus, can't be bothered with manufacturers' customisations and carrier restrictions. Whether the Nexus or similar concept will go on indefinitely is another matter.

Any reason why it wouldn't? Aren't they supposed to come out with multiple Nexus phones sometime at the end of this year?
Many people have felt this way for a while now. Welcome to the club! I laugh at people when i get asked "are you getting the galaxy s3?" I did make the mistake of getting the Verizon nexus, but i paid the etf and bought the gsm unlocked nexus. Now I'm back to our Google and my n7 is on its way. Google shipped it yesterday!

If profits at Google fall at some point they may take resources away from the hardware side and concentrate on the software side. Wouldn't like to see that happen but can't be discounted.
If, as seems likely, the Nexus 7 becomes the top-selling Android tablet other manufacturers may decide to withdraw from the sector as they can't compete against a company using consumable sales profits in the Play Store to effectively subsidise their manufacturing costs. Alternatively there could be some form of unfair competition or monopoly complaint. Hope not but wouldn't rule it out.

Seriously, thank you for this.
I was worried when I first came on the Nexus sub-forum, that there was a lot of negativity and issues. And granted there are bad experiences with every first run of any product.... but this is the first phone/media device purchase that I have actually been fairly content with it out of the box. My phone (Samsung Vibrant) I have gotten tired the last few months of flashing it weekly since I bought it.
Of course, I am bound to run into things, but I felt the same way clankfu

The solution for the OEMS is to keep stock jellybean! To differentiate, include new or different hardware or form factor etc. Then put exclusive apps or features that don't require a change of the system. You could have the play store check for something unique to allow the product download or something. That way there would be no problem keeping it current.

Interesting X phone rumors

http://androidandme.com/2013/03/new...devices-will-have-user-customizable-hardware/
Sounds promising. Updates from motorola? Not google? Stock android? Is google going to skin there own software. This would all make sense if its true. It kind of fits in the mold of the nexus program rumors but instead of any company making a nexus phone.... Motorola will build a custom phone for you. I wonder if this is there idea to kill the nexus phones completely.

I seriously doubt that both of these can be true:
1) The phone will be shown off at I/O in May and released in June.
2) It will replace the Nexus line.
It seems to me that the X Phone cannot do both of those. In the past, Google hasn't been quite as greedy with its Nexus line as OEMs are with their skinned lines. If the X Phone is to replace the Nexus line, it will not be available until ~October, around a year after the N4's release. To release a phone that is set to replace the Nexus line only a half-year after the N4 would not go over very well with most people. I don't think I am the only one disgusted by Samsung releasing the GS4 9-10 months after its GS3 release or the new rumor that HTC plans to abandon the Droid DNA in favor of the HTC One on Verizon (which I also think will ultimately turn out to be untrue).
Swap-able hardware? BS.
Or the device is gonna be huge. Memory/CPU/GPU are a SOC (System-on-a-chip), meaning the entire kit and caboodle is a single piece soldered to the board. Even IF they got a supplier to manufacture multiple SOC variations, it would end up being more expensive at the cheapest option than to just load it up with the highest end one available by default, thanks to tooling/bulk purchases.

Don't worry, in the US the One X people will have to wait 6 months for the update you linked. Surely by then the US carriers will have released the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One. Surely!
Well, it's supposed to be in Sprint's hands right now. Problem is, they say it's up to HTC. You know how the story goes. It'll get here when it gets here. Sprint will probably update the EVOLTE before the One.
That's Taiwan. We can only use that as a reference point, nothing else.
But I think this is just getting friggin ridiculous. Maybe there's a serious bug in the update like battery drain and only the US carriers are caring enough to resolve it with HTC?
Lets be honest here... There is a reason Samsung is WINNING! How far can build quality and sense get you when post support sucks ass. Flagships are being killed off by HTC after a year while Samsung updates OG EVO status devices. The GS2 shares the same OS as us for gods sake... This is ridiculous.
I've always been one to steer people away from the plastic GS devices, but you can't deny they are future proof in getting them. I'll have to definitely wait on next year's flags instead of dumping money day 1 like I've done the last 2 years.
And for the fanboys that say... Leave the one... No I will not. I'm NOT saying it's not the best device, but you can't deny post support sucks on our end.

Well, if we're being honest. There is a reason Samsung is winning, and it's called marketing. It most certainly is NOT because HTC phones are slow getting such minor updates like 4.2. Most people don't know anything about it, and it's not even close. The only ones who really care that much are the people on XDA who root and run custom roms, and we are the minority by a HUGE margin.
Honestly, it's even smaller than that, because some of us who root and run custom roms could still care less about this update. It brings next to nothing for a lot of us. Kernel and the ability to run 4.2 roms will be fun...but not that many people care all that much. We all know how annoying it is, it does suck..but it's definitely not the reason why Samsung is winning lol

I mostly agree. Remember when people used to call whatever android phone a Droid? Now they say galaxy, even if it's not a Samsung phone. They certainly did something right with the brand name.
Hopefully htc will stick with the One moniker and recover lost customers

Excited about what? The One X deserved the update without a doubt... They should have done this without even thinking. Problem I have is... Not even the DEV edition HTC one which is unbranded sold directly from HTC is still on outdated OS regardless of how minor the update is. If the update is so minor... Why do we not have it? Why does the DEV edition NOT have it officially? It makes no sense that this phone was release 4-5 months ago international and they just not got the update. Ours was released 3 months ago and no update in sight. Call it what you want, but I dare you say POST SUPPORT from HTC is better than POST SUPPORT from Samsung?

This could be close. Verizion usually wants something "exclusive" when it comes to the phones they carry. They may be the only US carrier with 4.2.2 for a limited time through a deal with HTC.
Unrelated note, why do people think sprint has the update already?
Since HTC doesn't seem to know how to update my phone and I obviously don't know how to enjoy it, I'm probably just gonna kill myself. What's the point of life if Satan, sorry - HTC, can't provide a menial software update?
Exactly, no point to life without 4.2. I NEED IT NOW.

4.4 kitkat!!!

So I was in bestbuy today checking out a few cases and the galaxy gear in the new samsung section that they have and the samsung rep was telling me that we are getting kitkat in 2 to 3 months.

Unconfirmed leaks on other sites have it pegged for carrier release in January. Plus time for them to add their BS and we're looking at late February at the earliest.
But don't get too excited about it. The devices that have received it are all missing various features. Some don't have the transparent navigation bar, nobody's getting the Experience Launcher, etc. Makes it sound more like an incremental update than anything groundbreaking.

This is what has me excited. Pure vanilla Android is ugly and devoid of features. Adding Samsung's features is what makes Android at this point. Looking at KiKat on a nexus has me patiently waiting for KitKat to drop on my S4 with all the Samsung additives. Thanks God for the additives.
And Samsung reps are not BestBuy employees. At least that's how I understand it. They do not work for BestBuy but Samsung.

True. But the vast majority of users here don't get paid to sell electronics. Too many Sprint, Samsung, Verizon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc, etc "reps" don't know much about the products they sell.
Ever go to one of those places and know more about their products than they do? Most frustrating thing ever. If they don't know about their own products, how the heck are they going to know about OTA dates?

Should I?

I know the note 7 is so hot its literally exploding off the shelves but does anyone think it's worth it for me to get my hands on one and wait for an aftermarket replacement battery to do the swap myself? Are the carriers going to block note 7s from their network? I personally want one at this point simply for the fact most if not all will be gone soon.
Not sure if this guy is trolling hard or simply been living under rock for the past week.
There won't be any after market batteries. Get a grip.

I still have my first Note 7. Other than the annoying messages multiple times a day. I have no complaints. I mentioned in another thread that the T mobile rep said the phones are only getting hot when you use a different charger than what came with the device. I had a guy call me out on it, saying it was a bunch of B'S. Well here I am still using my Note and not a single issue with it. So you decide.

But will there be any updates for the note 7?

Since it's a discontinued phone that Samsung's lawyers would desperately like out of your hands I'd say the odds are as good as American electing an honest person as president in November. The only update I think we'll see is one that disables the phone.
