I mean part of the ol' android support clusterdole was down to android makers taking a scattergun approach to trying to find a niche, and generally, samsung and HTC seem to have found what sticks (Samsung moreso), namely: Single flagship device with good support, and a couple of lowtier devices with no/community support. The only people who don't seem to know what they're doing at the moment is motorola.

@ceruleanspark Motorola? Why?
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:36:10 UTC from web-
@superrainbowblast They still seem to be launching multiple top-tier handsets with overlapping but not complimentary featuresets, and their record for providing software updates in a timely manner remains terrible. Also they're still in their "Lets lie to our customers" stage re: providing unlocked bootloaders.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:37:51 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark ah I see. [s]HTC pulled the unlocked bootloader lie thing too with my phone [/s] Samsung is at the top right now.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:41:04 UTC from web-
@superrainbowblast I think it's the first time HTC has done it though. Motorola has told the same lie with every generation of handsets it's come out with.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:42:47 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark It looks like motorola is the the process of dieing. Also I think the bootloader thing is half my phone service's fault.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:45:43 UTC from web-
@superrainbowblast Google bought their handset division. They only wanted them for their patents, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were just left to suffocate.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:50:29 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I'd welcome this. Honestly their phones are just...mreh. I'd like to see it just make one phone a year, if anything. Nexus.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:51:07 UTC from web-
@cavatina Well, given Samsungs massive mishandling of the Galaxy Nexus, it seems unlikely they'll be selected again.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:52:18 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Indeed. I also welcome this if i'm totally honest. It'd be nice to have a change, y'know?
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:53:01 UTC from web-
@cavatina Yeah how about a phone manufacturer who makes hardware out of something other than the cheapest materials available
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:53:40 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Honestly, that's where i'm coming from. I'd love for Asus, or HTC to do it. Just for the build.

@scribble As long as they dont F*** it up like they did with the first one. Would that be a phone you'd buy? X3 Also i notice you fall silent whenever me or Ceru lightly criticise WP7...well, not even the OS. just microsoft xD

@cavatina It'll probably be Asus to keep the styling similar between the Nexus 7 and the prospective nexus handset

@ceruleanspark Most likely. Thats the end of Moto. Im excited for Nexus, that looks like its going somewhere.

@ceruleanspark Or Sony. New phones with Gingerbread. Ha.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:38:06 UTC from web-
@scribble @ceruleanspark Sony at least opened up a massive ammount of their phones, to directly help Cyanogenmod. i cant fault them for releasing phones with gingerbread when they support the community. I could fault microsoft more for causing their Lumia 800, the flagship, to become totally irellevant and obsolete. I wonder if the community will have luck and prove microsoft wrong.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:40:24 UTC from web-
@cavatina I'm not convinced Windows Mobile still has a community. Everyone who was interested in old WinMo is making awful android themes and software now.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:41:44 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark XDA has a community of sorts for the Lumia 800. However, as soon as it became apparant the phone was being totally abandoned, and left only with a new theme, the community just...dispersed mostly. Nice going microsoft~.

@scribble Also, gingerbread isnt even bad. If i didnt have the option of jellybean, or even ICS, i'd still enjoy using my phone on Gingerbread. Even Froyo is still decent, as my brother is proving from his phone.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:41:24 UTC from web-
@cavatina Gingerbread has a lot of really annoying bugs though. Makes me want to throw my phone out the window sometimes.
-
@lovetolerateandsquee What phone/rom/GB version? 2.3.7 is solid as a rock for me, AOSP, CM7, TouchWiz, all of em.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:45:50 UTC from web-
@cavatina Wait a minute. Derp. I'm not using Gingerbread anymore, I confusedit with Icecream Sandwich. *facehoof*
-
@lovetolerateandsquee Your having problems with Ice cream sandwich?
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:49:10 UTC from web-
@superrainbowblast Yeah, for example, when I watch a video, it will randomly switch to either the music app or Soundcloud in the middle of a video and start playing my most recently plated song.
-
@lovetolerateandsquee Im guessing you have HTC then? You sure your not doing anything to cause it?

@lovetolerateandsquee Is it an official ROM? what phone? I cant imagine it's a final release, even my phone was buggy before samsung released the source code.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:49:29 UTC from web-
@cavatina It's an official ROM, yeah. And my phone is a Galaxy SII.
-
@lovetolerateandsquee ...WAT. How...what. I dont have ANY of these issues. sogihsd.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:56:43 UTC from web-
@cavatina that's half the fun of android, trying to figure out which minor environment change causes one phone to respond totally differently to another. I had a friend convinced that the inestimable HTC Desire was a POS because of a buggy Seesmic install holding wake-locks indefinitely. A factory reset and he told me it was "like a new phone"
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:59:02 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Oh, i do agree there... It's not so fun when you realise the wakelock is your fault for restoring apps from a backup rather than installing the APK's from the backup... >.>

@cavatina I dunno. *shrugs*

@lovetolerateandsquee May i reccomend you switch to Cyanogenmod 9? it's much better :3
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 12:01:07 UTC from web-
@cavatina I might, though I have no idea what to do. Also, would I have to put all my music and other files on again, or would they still be there? I know nothing about anything :/
-
@lovetolerateandsquee They'd still be there, and i'd gladly help you!
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 12:06:10 UTC from web-
@cavatina Thanks :3 But I can't do it now, because homework. :/
-
@lovetolerateandsquee Oh, i didnt mean right now, but i'd gladly help you :3

@widget Samsung devices are not well put together, that's the thing.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 11:55:22 UTC from web -
@widget That is the one thing Motorola consistently gets right. Their choice of materials is always top notch. My brother is still using my original droid handset every day.

@widget At least a 1/3rd of Apples succcess is their fanatical devotion to the feel, fit and finish of their hardware.
Saturday, 01-Sep-12 12:03:34 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark It is the same with Luxury Cars. Audi has a sound engineer employed solely for the purpose of making sure the doors make a reassuring sound when you close them.

@widget Microsoft's hardware people are basically the opposite of Apple. Kinect doesn't work in an average sized house? Well, then people had better upgrade their houses to play!
