Evidence suggests Android 4.2 could already be running on two new Motorola devices

New evidence has surfaced suggesting that Google’s upcoming version of Android may not be too far off. The folks over at Android Police have gone through their internal server logs, only to discover a slew of devices appearing to be running Android 4.2, which is rumored to be an iterative update to this year’s Jelly Bean release.

Linux; Android 4.2; Nexus 7 Build/JOO92B
Linux; Android 4.2; Nexus 7 Build/JOP02B

Linux; U; Android 4.2; en-us; Galaxy Nexus Build/JOP04C
Linux; Android 4.2; Galaxy Nexus Build/JOO92B
Linux; Android 4.2; Galaxy Nexus Build/JOP04

Linux; Android 4.2; occam Build/JOO92B
Linux; Android 4.2; occam Build/JOP04B
Linux; Android 4.2; occam Build/JOP04C
Linux; U; Android 4.2; en-us; occam Build/JOP03B
Linux; U; Android 4.2; en-gb; occam Build/JOP03B
Linux; U; Android 4.2; en-us; occam Build/JOP04

Linux; Android 4.2; manta Build/JOP04C
Linux; Android 4.2; manta Build/JOP03
Linux; Android 4.2; manta Build/JOP05

The code above signifies the naming scheme for the new Jelly Bean build, as well as two new pieces of hardware. Along with the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus, two new devices, code named Occam and Manta, are listed as running the new software. The Occam has been pointed out to be a philosophical reference to “Occam’s Razor”, implying that the device could turn out to be a RAZR M or RAZR HD Nexus variant (hence the ironic name choice). The Manta on the other hand is reminiscent of Google’s  long tenure of using aquatic code names. You may remember the Nexus 7 being called Grouper before it launched, while the Motorola XOOM was known as both the Stingray and Wingray for Verizon and Wi-Fi models. This new device could very well be a new tablet, quite possibly the Nexus 10.

Obviously, this is pure speculation at this point. However, the evidence is starting to stack up as we draw closer to the end of October. So, while we may be confident in the idea of several Nexus devices–perhaps even Motorola-manufactured ones– it seems as though we’ll need to wait for a bit more information until we can truly say what exactly Google has in store for us.

Acer Iconia Tab A100, A200 and A500 all won’t be receiving offcial Jelly Bean upgrades

Looks like we have some bad news for Iconia A100, Acer A200 and Acer A500 owners. An Acer spokesperson has just confirmed that a Jelly Bean update will not becoming to either of these 3 devices. While the A100 and A500 are already over a year old, the A200 was only just launched earlier this year, thus it’s quite disappointing that these devices won’t officially see anything past Ice Cream Sandwich.

Will this announcement by Acer make you guys who own these devices to root them?

When the Transformer Prime launched, it was the first tablet to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and now it’s one of the first devices to receive Jelly Bean along with the Transformer Pad Infinity.

If you are one of the many folks who regularly modify your device with ROM’s and tweaks by unlocking the bootloader, you probably noticed that you did not receive the OTA update. However, ASUS brings good news as the company released the full official Jelly Bean ROMs on the their website.

Is the next wave of Google Nexus products advancing?

According to a leak from UK based phone retailer Carphone Warehouse, our Nexus 7 storage problems are soon to be over. The image above clearly lists a 32gb version of the flagship Google tablet and although it doesn’t say how much the new version will cost, I’m willing to bet it’ll be around $300, which is still less than its rival, the 32gb iPad. So it finally seems Google is listening to our complaints.

There’s more news too. Right above the aforementioned Nexus 7 leak is a line that reads: “Invisishield for Samsung Nexus 2″. Woah. This is hardly the first time a Galaxy Nexus successor has been mentioned, but so far most of the previous rumors have been proclaimed as bunk. Now we actually have a semi-reliable leak to drool over as we anxiously await Google to unveil the next iteration of the pure Google experience, and as we have seen from the early iPhone 5 leaks, these accessory manufactures are generally pretty reliable when it comes to leaks.

This single photo of a blue and yellow inventory system has officially started me salivating for the next wave of Google products to drool over.

Android updates continue to worsen not improve [sigh]

When it comes to Android, one of the hottest topics has always been how fast updates are. It has been a problem for a while now and there’s no question that Google recognizes that. At last year’s I/O, they announced a new agreement with OEMs that would make them commit to updates over an 18-month period. That didn’t seem to do much, so at this past June’s I/O, they announced the PDK. which is the hardware equivalent of the SDK. It gives manufacturers of hardware and chipsets early access to Android builds so they can get a jump start on current and upcoming devices. It’s still too soon to judge if this will help or not, but I really have to point out that things are going in the wrong direction in a major way.

Android Team Releases The Latest Android Distribution Chart: Gingerbread Still On Most Devices, But Ice Cream Sandwich And Jelly Bean Is Slowly Creeping Up

October is officially here, so you know it’s time for some distribution stats for Android lovers (and subsequent haters). Like any other distribution study, the Android team takes time and does measurements of devices that access the Play Store and verifies which version of the Android OS users are on when accessing the Play Store. As you can see per the lovely pie chart and grid, we see that Gingerbread 2.3.3 – 2.3.7 overwhelmingly runs the majority of Android devices, though you can see the tasty Ice Cream Sandwich OS slowly creeping up— taking a 23.7% market share. Looking beyond those two versions of Android is the sudden growth of Jelly Bean 4.1: it’s now at a steady 1.8% representing all Android devices at this time. Considering will see imminent Jelly Bean updates on devices like this, and this… and this too— expect the trend grow even more.
All in all, it’s a wonderful time for Android as we’re really starting to see the newer versions appear on more and more devices. I’m definitely curious to see how much market share Gingerbread loses as we approach the end of the year. Hit the source for more details.

International HTC One X, One S, and One XL will see Jelly Bean and Sense 4+ this month

Earlier today HTC announced their newest flagship, the One X+, which will come pre-loaded with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and Sense 4+. We originally thought the latest version of Sense would be version 4.5, but either way it’s an updated version. As we expected, HTC will also upgrade the One X, the One S, and the One XL to both Jelly Bean and Sense 4+. They will start with the international unlocked versions this month, followed by the carrier branded versions. How long it will take for the carriers to approve and deploy the update is anyone’s guess. Those of you in the U.S. with the AT&T One X and the T-Mobile One S will eventually receive it, but again it’s going to be up to both of those carriers. I’m hopeful that all devices will receive it by the end of the year.

If you own a One V, unfortunately it wasn’t mentioned as receiving the upgrade, which isn’t good news at all. I guess that’s going to be a trait for all economy phones moving forward. Manufacturers just aren’t going to put the time into them as they assume those customers aren’t as concerned with those that buy mid to upper tier phones.

 

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III Jelly Bean update leaked

Over the weekend XDA forum member freeza posted information about a leaked build of Sprint’s pending Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy S III devices. The leaked ROM includes Samsung’s custom TouchWiz interface. Unfortunately, it also includes a few items not quite working right like the stock browser, Google Now and some issues with the device’s gyroscope sensor. Nevertheless, it is clear that build JRO03L is close to complete, which means we may see it rolling out to users soon.

If you are not willing to wait for Sprint to make it available and you can live with the issues, you can hit the source link to pull down the leaked file or one of the custom ROMs the XDA community has already generated. Trying out any of these is subject to the usual warnings about messing up your device.

For those content to wait for the update via Sprint, hopefully this leak may help create some pressure for Samsung and Sprint to accelerate their schedule a bit.
