I've got a Japanese Galaxy S. As far as I know, there are no ROMs with a working modem :-( So either I'm stuck on Gingerbread, or I don't get a working phone.

Learned my lesson. Next phone will be a Nexus so that I can be sure that it isn't abandoned 6 months later. I do admit that it seems strange to have a nearly 5 year old phone and still use it. But it does everything I need it to do so I can't really justify dropping $X00 upgrading to a new phone.

- sangnoir 11y agoAsking as a GNex owner: what did you expect Google to do when TI decided to exit the mobile space and could no longer maintain its drivers for newer kernels? I was pissed off, but only at TI.
- pjmlp 11y ago- Have their own teams develop the required fixes. After all they are developing Android. - Have had the business sense to make a proper contract with TI that would either oblige them to keep doing the fixes even after product termination or provide the relevant information for Google. This is how a company ensures its costumers are safe from outsourcing deals. Right now, Google can let it happen again and people can choose to properly blame Google or the OEM.
