Phones And Tablets That May End Up Getting An Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Update

HTC One S

HTC One S was launched with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system. So we think HTC One S should get an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. HTC One S users will have to be patient though.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Samsung Galaxy Note is amongst the most popular Samsung phones. So Samsung would try to appease it’s users by giving Galaxy Note an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. But some Galaxy Note users will have to wait patiently since their Galaxy Note is yet to receive ICS update.

But do not get disappointed if you do not get an official Jelly Bean update as XDA-Developers is always there to help you.
We’re stilling waiting to hear from a whole host of Android device manufacturers. Make sure you bookmark this page, as we’ll be updating this article as and when we hear back from manufacturers regarding their plans for the Android 4.1 update. In the meantime, take a look at our hands on Android 4.1Jelly Bean review to see what the jelly Bean update will be bringing.

0 Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Review

Being unveiled at Google I/O 2012, Android 4.1(Jelly Bean) brings along a whole host of features to build upon the work started by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be available in a few weeks. Besides the brand new Nexus 7 tablet, the first devices to receive the latest Android update from Google will be the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and the XOOM. Following Google’s mind boggling Keynote announcement at Google I/O today, the Android team posted the platform highlights, recapping all of Jelly Bean’s new features. Here are a few we are particularly excited about.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean release date

OTA updates are scheduled to be pushed out mid-July, however this is initially to Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S devices. Google has announced the Android Platform Development Kit, which means manufacturers and chipset vendors will be working with the search giant up to three months before each release of Android in the future – so waiting for each new iteration could be a thing of the past.

Faster, Smoother, More Responsive

Due to the success of Google’s “Project Butter”, the latest version of Android is just like the saying goes “as smooth as butter”. Jelly Bean is the most responsive and impressive version of Android to date coming with triple buffered graphics, extended vsync timing and intuitive touch that boosts your CPU at the next touch event to make sure lag is minimal.

Enhanced Accessibility

Jelly Bean includes new API’s for accessibility features such as services that let you handle gestures and manage accessibility focus with on-screen navigation buttons. These can be handled by accessibility gestures, accessories, or other input methods. Applications that use the standard View components inherit support for these new features automatically without the need for developers to alter their code.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean camera

Another update in the new iteration of Android is to the camera app. Whilst Android 4.0 brought fast image capturing, 4.1 takes this further. Image capture is smoother, but it is in the photo review where the major changes lie. Pinching brings a photo strip of all taken photos, with the swipe to delete making it easier to quickly remove unwanted images. Don’t worry though, there is an undo button making its way to the interface as well, so even if you accidentally scrub out that picture of a cat you once saw, it’s not gone for good.

Support For International Users

Android 4.1 helps developers reach more users through support for bi-directional text. Apps can handle text editing in left to right or right to left scripts. Apps can also make sure of new included Arabic and Hebrew locales and fonts. If that isn’t enough, the platform now supports user-installable keymaps.

Expandable Notifications

Android 4.1 brings a major update to Android notifications. Apps can now display larger, richer notifications to users that can be expanded and collapsed with a pinch. Notifications support new types of content, including photos, have configurable priority, and can even include multiple actions assigned to them.

Resizable App Widgets

Android 4.1 introduces improved App Widget functionality that can automatically resize, based on where the user drops them on the home screen, depending on the size, and the amount home screen real estate available. You can also supply separate landscape and portrait layouts for your widgets, which the system activates depending on your current screen rotation.

High Resolution Contact Photos

With Android 4.1, we cab finally store our contact photos at a whopping 720 x 720, allowing contact pictures to be truly beautiful. Apps can store and retrieve contact photos at that size or use any other size as needed.

Android Beam

Android Beam was introduced with ICS, but we haven’t seen a lot of uses for it. In Android 4.1, Android Beam makes it easier to share images, videos, or other payloads by leveraging Bluetooth for the data transfer. When the user triggers a transfer, Android Beam hands over from NFC to Bluetooth, making it easier to transfer and manage files between devices.

Smart App Updates

The latest feature of Google Play introduces a better way to receive application updates on your devices. When a developer publishes an app update, Google Play now only delivers the changes bits of the application rather then the entire APK.  This makes app updates much lighter and easier on your network data. On average, a smart app update is about 1/3 the size of the full APK update.

Google Voice Search and Google Now

Google has drastically improved the default Voice Search functionality with Android 4.1. Dubbed Google Now, the new search functionality makes search much more visual such as displaying your results as cards for weather, navigation routes, sports scores, and more. This is much more than a virtual assistant.

Better Battery Life

Using Touch Input Boost, Android 4.1 boosts the CPU so that loading times are faster, and therefore uses less battery power. Updates to Google Play also mean that now app updates are smarter. Rather than downloading and installing the whole installation file, apps only install changed elements, making them on average 66% smaller.

0 What is MeeGo!!?things you should know about MeeGo

Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin operating systems have been merged to create MeeGo. MeeGo is a Linux-based free mobile operating system project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers, mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes, smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is currently hosted by the Linux Foundation.

History

 

It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February 2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference. The stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project. According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom processor.

Things u should know about MeeGo

Ø      MeeGo is a Linux-based software platform that has been created from Intel's Moblin platform and Nokia's Maemo platform. MeeGo isn't just a direct competitor for the likes of the iPhone, Android OS-powered devices, Windows Phone 7 Series, Palm's webOS and RIM's BlackBerry platform. It's aimed at a much broader range of applications. The Linux-based MeeGo platform is intended to power multiple types of devices including smartphones, netbooks, tablets, connected TVs, mobile computers and in-car entertainment systems. 

Ø      MeeGo isn't going to replace Symbian as Nokia's smartphone platform of choice. Nokia's executive vice president of devices, Kai Oistamo, said at the MeeGo launch that the two operating systems would continue to co-exist. MeeGo will offer a range of rich online and computing experiences with rich graphics, multitasking and multimedia capabilities.

Nokia's Maemo platform was recently given an airing on the Nokia N900 smartphone.

Ø      The MeeGo platform will be developed as an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation. MeeGo should be attractive to application developers as it uses the Qt application development environment, which enables developers to write applications just once and easily deploy them across variety of platforms and devices.

Ø      MeeGo applications for Nokia devices will be sold through the Ovi Store for Nokia, while Intel's AppUp Center will handle applications for Intel-based MeeGo devices.

Core OS

The MeeGo Core operating system is a Linux distribution, drawing on Nokia’s Debian-based Maemo and Intel’s Fedora-based Moblin.MeeGo is one of the first Linux distributions to use the Btrfs file system as default, and uses RPM repositories.

 Nokia N9 Smart Phone with MeeGo OS

Jolla  develops and sells smartphones based on the MeeGo platform. It continues the work started by Nokia and produced the Nokia N9 but needed a new company after Nokia has decided to abandon MeeGo. The Jolla team was formed by directors and core professionals leaving Nokia's MeeGo N9 organisation, together with some of the best minds working on MeeGo in the communities. Jolla intends to announce its first smartphone product during 2012.

0 Google May Be Developing Motion Interface for Android

A patent filing made public last week suggests that Google is working to turn a device's front-facing camera into a motion-input system, allowing consumers to use gestures instead of greasing up the screen with fingerprints. If granted, the company could reportedly take this patent down several avenues, including incorporating the technology into Android itself, saving the tech for Motorola, or hording the patent for use against rivals Apple and Microsoft.

The submission, titled Use camera to augment input for portable electronic device, describes a method of controlling a portable electronic device including an image capturing device. The method comprises of "detecting, via the image capturing device, motions of an object over the image capturing device; determining a type of the detected motions using timing information related to the detected motions, the timing information comprising duration of at least one of the detected motions; and controlling the portable electronic device based on the determined motion type."

The patent indicates that human fingers are making gestures by "single tapping, double tapping, hovering, holding and swiping." These gestures could trigger phone calls, allow users to navigate through photos, music and videos, swipe through the internet and more. The proposed system may even incorporate additional hardware like the microphone, the accelerometer, digital compass and other installed features.

"The system detects, through the image capturing device, motions of user finger over the image capturing device," reads the patent application. "The system determines a pattern of the detected motions using timing information related to the detected motions, and controls the portable electronic device based on the determined pattern. The system also receives inputs from other input devices associated with the portable electronic device, and controls the device based on combination of the determined pattern and the received inputs"

Google's system will use a combination of light and timing to determine what gesture and command is being used. The patent covers both physical touch against the device (as in clicking a virtual mouse button) and movement within the camera's range of sight as long as there is enough contrast in the captured frames to determine movement (meaning gesturing while standing in a dark closet is likely to fail).

"For example, the system may perform detecting and recognizing of the motion events based on illumination levels of images taken by the camera and timing information with regard to the motion events," the patents read. "By calculating the illumination level of an image received from the camera and comparing the illumination level with a predetermined threshold value, the system may determine that a release or a touch event has occurred. If the illumination level falls under the threshold value, an event of touching the camera has occurred."

While the patent uses the word "finger" throughout the filing, it also uses "object" when describing a method of input, possibly indicating that Google has more in mind than simply using finger-based motion input controls on tablets and smartphones. The patent seemingly backs up rumors that Google is currently working on a wearable augmented-reality computer -- aka a cool set of specs -- that features a front-facing camera for tracking hand and finger movements.

Based on the patent filing, it seems as though Google is taking advantage of front-facing cameras and building motion-sensing controls into Android. Google may also branch out and make this a standard feature in Android altogether, offering a native motion-sensing client for Google TV manufacturers. There's also that rumored entertainment system that may also take advantage of gestures as well.
