[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
that's quite oposite from what i think about it, today i make my decisions looking for software, it could make a crappy phone works nice and a 'dream' phone a hell (like atrix, to me), sure you can always tweak to get it better and when everything is great, Google releases a new android and the cycle starts again: new roms, new kernels and "when, where, why" start to pop in general forum. It's just not fun anymore (for me).

The thing is: I flashed all roms and all kernels from dev section in my nexus and couldn't find anything even close to stock setup. Nexus stock is just solid (despite lack of some good features).

i think chasing hard specs is not a wise decision anymore (besides, it's a endless chase), if you need a sd card slot, or fm radio, or HD camera, you should go with sgs. if you don't care about it and want a device that just works as soon as you get it out of the box, so... =o)

to resume, that is exactly what i think: http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/30/coming-nexus-s/

sorry for my engrish! =o)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The only reason why browsing on the Galaxy S is smoother is because it uses hardware acceleration. And another browser to worth mentioning in that list would be Dolphin Browser HD. It's a very smooth browser.

I came from a Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) to a Nexus S for its developmental purposes. Some may argue that there are not many ROMs. But all in honesty, the ROMs coming out to the Galaxy S are mainly all based on TouchWiz. They're all the same ROM behind the hood and just appear different. Now there is CM7, so things might of changed now. But regardless, to install CM7.. you'd have to go through a long process of changing its partition type from RFS to ext4.

I still don't look back at the Galaxy S. The only feature I can primarily say that I miss are the codecs, but with DICE Player. That filled the missing part :) so now I'm able to watch 720p without any lag.

But yeah, +1 on Google updates. When Ice Cream Sandwich is announced later this year, the Nexus S will be one of the first phones to get it.

Galaxy S? Good luck. Samsung will be busy updating their current flagship phone, Galaxy S2. And if you're in the U.S. it'll take even longer because it'll have to go through approval with the carrier and addition of their bloat blah blah blah. the list goes on.

Update coming from Google?

Google makes update -> OTA

Update coming from Samsung in the U.S.?

Samsung makes updates -> Goes through approval process with carrier -> OTA

And with the carriers, usually multiple revisions have to satisfy the carrier before its approved.

Nexus S hands down.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3572053:
I also say the nexus s. I own both galaxy s and nexus s. My vibrant is decent but the nexus s blows it out the water. U.S. phones still don't have gingerbread either and froyo on the galaxy s looks retarded. It really does, the nexus s software looks slick and sexy. The browser lag is over blown. It's not that bad at.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:
I own a Captivate and just bought a Nexus S today and I will give it to the NS.

Looks better, feels better, smoother and as retarded as it sounds, you feel better mentally. This is all Google and Google only. No workarounds, fixes, patches or anything to make this phone run as it should.

I could go on forever to discuss the pros (and also some cons) but they are redundant and have been discussed to death. It comes down to the Nexus S being a more refined and polished version of the Galaxy S.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
Galaxy S has FM and comes with Swype (though you can get this thru beta program on NS)

Nexus S screen looked much better after the 2.3.3 update, now galaxy S screens look too blueish for me.

Both of them have voodoo sound support, so its all good! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Thanks guys!

I just wanna know which one is better between amoled or super lcd.

I live in New Zealand and here they only sell super lcd version..(GT-i9023)

I heard Super LCD version is better for battery efficiency and reading a text.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921861. I once started it when I was trying to find the real difference between (Super Clear) LCD and (Super) AMOLED. The thread has tons of pictures, videos, experiences, etc. Read it through. If that's not enough (I doubt it), you can read this thread that I made on a dutch forum. You probably don't speak dutch, but you could translate it. It is a very informative thread about the difference between LCD and AMOLED. It took me a while to make, but it was worth it. Keep in mind though that there is a difference between Super LCD and Super Clear LCD. A big difference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Nice review mate!

I just read your thread and I feel Super Clear LCD feels more like iPhoney.

I like the retina display as well as Super Amoled but for web browsing I guess Super Clear LCD is better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
The retina display is very much undersaturated, like 40 percent. Just like Super AMOLED is like 40 percent oversaturated. Super Clear LCD's colors are much more natural.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Ah really?

But I want to know about how it is different when I read the text on the phone.

Retina display is amazing for web browsing and reading books.

is Super clear lcd like that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Not that sharp as the retina display, although that has nothing to do with the fact that it is a retina display.

Iphone 4 resolution is higher than Nexus S resolution. And the screen of the iPhone 4 is smaller. But like I said, that has nothing to do with the fact that it is a retina display.

One thing I can say you is that whites are very easy to the eye on Super Clear LCD. With Opera or another web-browser that isn't as laggy as stock browser, you'll have a pleasant experience. True, the resolution isn't as high as the iPhones resolution, but the bigger screen also has an advantage of course.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Funny how people talk about the retina display like its some new, kickass, screen technology. Its just a LCD screen with huge resolution, a waste of resources for such a small screen and increased battery usage.

Not only that, but people tend to think it actually looks better, while its all in their head. Put the iphone 4 close to whatever modern smartphone from 2010 and they look the same (I mean the clarity, when it comes to pixels). Zoom as much as you want on your nexus S and show me a single pixel on it, be it browser or w/e you want.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
There is no one here talking about the retina like it's kickass. Certainly not me. Hell, I even said that the retina display is nothing more than a high-resolution screen. But that's Apple. They have to do it different. Who has to use a 3,5 inch screen? Apple. Who has to use a different charger than everyone else? Apple. Who has to use a different connection for the beamer (on macbook). Apple.

I've spent days on comparing different screen technologies, and I can say I know a lot about it. Why do you think I have the i9023 and not the i9020? Because I did research.

Super Clear LCD is an amazing screen. I'm still not to keen about AMOLED, not even SAMOLED+. But you know what I'm talking about, from the looks of your signature.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Indeed, the SLCD display is ,IMO as well, one of the best mobile display technology, certainly better then the super amoled (had them both in front of my eyes). I haven't seen the samoled + tho.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
okay, you say sclcd is great, but what about touch response?!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
What about it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
don't remember where i read, but amoled screens supposed to have a faster response.

i don't know how faster, or even if it is true, since i never saw a 9020 model. but i can compare wtih Galaxy S (samoled) and it seems to respond to the touchs really faster than nxs and Galaxy S II is even faster, just insane...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
thiagodark, slcd or samoled? thats a really personal choice in my opinion. Just like Ivnatic and Androyed prefer the slcd, i prefer the samoled. and i bought and have both of them. you can read all the pro's and con's on the net but what i wish to add is colourwise ...blacks and even colours are way better than the slcd. PPl might say that the slcd colours is more real; well with the voodoo application, you can even tune your colour settings the way you like for the samoled . The slcd is slightly thicker; nothing visible to the normal eyesight but nowadays, with my eyes closed, just taking the phone in my palm, i can say which is which.

about the touch responsiveness, they are both the same.

So I installed the ROM, cool sensasion v5 perfectly related to the page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040121

Everything is ok but one thing. Storage.

I can't install anything from the market even a application like ebay (3 mb).

Thing is, when the download is done, it says I have insuffisant space to install it. BUT when I look at my sd card and the internal storage, I have 130mb left (internal storage) and 5gb (sd card).

So yeah...

Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joy2DaWurld:
The title basically explains the problem. I was having a bunch of issues with custom roms on my phone...lack of cell service, very laggy. I figured it was best to ODIN to stock then update via Kies to stock 2.2 and save myself any further hardship by keeping stock if I was actually getting reception.

The installation/update went perfectly okay then after 10 minutes of letting it sit, I attempted to turn it on...nothing. Unlikely but I thought maybe the battery was dead so I left it plugged in for a little while longer, still nothing. Realizing that on FroYo the green charging screen would come up when the phone wasn't actually on, I thought the worst...hardbricked. The phone simply won't turn on at ALL.

Since coming to this conclusion a couple hours ago I've attempted numerous/every combination of buttons to get back into Download mode but no go. At this point I'm fishing for any kind of solution to this problem. I bought my Vibrant off of Craigslist so I'm not sure if the warranty is still valid. Also I can't simply exchange the phone because of my FFC. My original camera is back at school, where I won't be for another week or so.

Anyone with any kind of solution or advice, I beg of you to speak up. :(

i hard bricked mine when odin froze and tried everything for a week but nothing worked then i took mine to a local phone shop and they fixed it in like a day

i think kies has a history of causing hard bricks, theres a stock 2.2 by Whitehawkx you could have used instead of using kies

[General Questions and Answers] DanoBoyo:
Hey,

For many years I had a sony ericsson. I had a piece of freeware software called "My Phone Exployer" - it was brilliant. Managed files, SMS, calendar, contacts etc. The main feature was the ability to text from the PC and it send through the phone.

As I'm fairly new to the awesome world of HTC - I was wondering if there is something similar?

Cheers,

My Nexus S 4G won't charge through any of my chargers, AC, USB, or car. It's down to no battery life now, and when I plug it in it doesn't charge it boots the phone up for a moment then shuts down. I tried looking around but couldn't find anything on it. Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be a battery issue or my phone?

themed requested icon ---> suppose that CMUPDATE will not work, have to understand why

Thanks for supporting me in this months, the 2000 downloads were the best way to say thanks and to make me understand that "my" work was not so bad. But you understand that without a place for testing, is quite hard to mantain this project alive.
