Just a quick question.... As this will be my first Nexus phone, does the bootloader on these phones come unlocked? As I understand it, the Nexus has always lead the way in development, open source, etc. Having to wait around for the bootloader to be unlocked on the Atrix was a pain in the a$$. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Most likely, it will. I don't think there is any confirmation, but, Nexus-es have always been bootloader-unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Actually, all Nexus-es have always shipped with locked bootloaders - they just happen to be unlockable... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Yep. No workarounds, hacking or forcing. Just fastboot oem unlock and done.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Does anynody know if galaxy nexus has mhl/hdmi output? I dont see it listed or mentioned anywhere and that might be why i dont get one. I was looking forward to my next phone having this feature and it looks like google dropped the ball on that one.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Yes, it has a MHL port ;)

(and also it has software support for USB host)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
That is the problem with Samsung. They are not gone undercut the Galaxy II specs. They did the same thing with the Nexus S. Pretty. much gave us a Galaxy S phone.

samsung are crap, and google have really scuffed it by giving the nexus to them.

i am disappoint.

also, their childishly stupid logic. "we brought out a bigger phone, and people liked that even more!"

I found this to be a really good comparison for both phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcpk:
I believe the Galaxy Nexus has MHL, which is HDMI out over microUSB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htc6500uk:
You may not be happy but the fact is that they sell more phones than just about anybody else so they must be doing something right. Perosnally I like a big phone and have ordered a Samsung Note which I am sure will get an ICS upgrade in due course. My old Nexus One display is just too small both in terms of screen size and memory for apps that can't be moved to the card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The 4.65" screen sounds HUGE... but in reality the screen isn't much bigger then a 4" screen once you minus the onscreen buttons that current phones have as capacitive touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The whole phone is much bigger than a 4" Android, and bigger than the 4.3" SGSII in all dimensions. It's longer than the 4.5" Infuse/Epic/Hercules but narrower and thinner:

i9020 nexus S 4": 123.9 x 63 x 10.9 mm

i9100 SGSII 4.3": 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm

SGH-T989 Hercules 4.5": 129.8 x 68.8 x 9.4 mm

SPH-D710 Epic 4G Touch 4.5": 130 x 70 x 10 mm

i997 Infuse 4G 4.5": 132 x 71 x 9 mm

i9250 Galaxy Nexus 4.65": 135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Yeah, that's monsterous, I don't see how I could possibly use that thing one handed. When will Google make another phone for normal sized people?

LOL I like your question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betoNL:
Any news about the sound chip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
There's a thread on it in general
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Notorious544d:
If it's 8% wider than Sensation, then that will make it ~70mm wide which is way too wide for a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimiento:
Agree 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] desertflyer:
I understand that some people want big screen phones, however I am not one of those people. The Nexus S screen size is pretty much perfect to me, and the Nexus One is great as well. The Sensation is about as big as I would personally want to go. Hopefully this phone isn't as huge as it sounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcpk:
If I'm honest, I want this phone plus a slide-out QWERTY. But I don't think Google have any interest in hardware keyboards any more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
The curved glass is actually very nice. It is not gimmick IMHO.

Also the GPS on S works just fine. The regular galaxy s phones have the crappy the GPS. Well at least the us versions do. Not sure if stock GS does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royolpunk:
In my opinion, 4 inches is perfect :P. 4.65 would be taking it too far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Notorious544d:
What's so functional about curved glass?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icon57:
i doubt we will see this phone in oct....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konflikt1911:
Maybe Motorola nexus prime now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Notorious544d:
Me too. Nexus phones always come out just before Christmas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royolpunk:
Lol always? Only 2 have came out :p

And that's what we thought about the i*hone buy look, it didnt come out when we expected :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Before smartphones with large touch screens became the norm pretty much all phones had a curve to them. This makes sense because people's heads are not flat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dthomp1987:
I can't wait for this device, Samsung may not have the most glamorous devices on the market but their hardware and screens are top notch. And don't worry about the pentile matrix, on a 720x1280 screen you won't even notice it. It's really tough to see even on a 4" 480x800 display on the Galaxy S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
Pretty sure nexus one came out after Xmas...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SiNJiN76:
I was just watching Ironman Extremist...Android needs to be first to come out with a TV tuner in the phone! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SiNJiN76:
I remember the date clearly...Jan 5th 2010. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
As stated it feels very nice when you use your phone to actually make a call. It is very noticeable and feels great.

Is it a huge selling point or even that big of deal no it is not. But it is a great addition to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royolpunk:
I still think moto should build the nexus. They know how to build a solid phone with great radios, and since this is a nexus phone there will be no bl or r0oot issues :). Just please don't use pentile :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i'd rather moto build it, it be s-lcd, 2000mah battery, hw accelerated, better quality 5 mp camera, hdmi out and full support of led notifications like the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royolpunk:
Yeah. I don't really care about 1280x720 screen either. Imo 800x480 is good enough, I don't think cell phone screens should replace our tvs, and tvs are already bad for our eyes

The iphone 4s camera in the new nexus would be perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cachorropedorro:
S-lcd is inferior to SAMOLED+ or SAMOLEDHD, Samsung has better CPU/GPU. The Motorola cameras are inferior to Samsung's cameras. I have a Droid X and a Samsung Epic 4g. The Epic 4g takes MUCH better pictures and it's lower Megapixels. Samsung devices have HDMI out. LED notifications are not a big game changer in my opinion.

Making it 720p future proofs it and allows for bragging rights. TV's & computer screens aren't bad for your eyes. That has been disproven about a decade ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
what are you a fanboy? i prefer the look of amoled better, hell i'd rather have plasma quality, but s-lcd has proven itself to be the best sipper of juice. and i don't care about stats so much as i'd rather have hw acceleration and the gs2 gpu is 65nm, which is ooooold for mobile processors. and samsung devices have mhl out. you need a dongle to get to the hdmi. or at least on the gs2. btw, i was just writing a xmas list. samsung doesn't write my endorsement checks. how does 720p future proof and why are you using android if you want bragging rights? there's a slap for that. :p i for the life can't remember the last time anybody 'upgraded' anything on a mobile phone except the battery, battery cover or faceplate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redcellx:
Hello,

I was a iPhone user I had each and every iPhone and then i tried android with the galaxy s2 and this phone is awesome. I am now waiting on the nexus prime, I have a question for the nexus owners, How do you get the updates on the phone like if you want to upgrade to ice cream sandwich how do you do it. With Galaxy s2 we have keis air. How is it done on the nexus phones ? The galaxy s2 is a beast of a phone if the nexus prime with that super amoled HD screen is the same size as the galaxy s2 I am going to be the first on the line to get it.

Thanks

RedCell X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I dont know how to do updates on nexus phone. First thing you do when you get a nexus is fastboot oem unlock, flash a recovery on it, and then start a thread on xda asking the eta of the next cyan update, i mean flash all the roms till your heart is content.

I voided my warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redcellx:
Thanks Pukemon,

Being new to android, the entire rooting the phone thing is too difficult. I have the galaxy s2 and it is not rooted when i researched how to root it was too difficult. Maybe because I have a mac and most of odin and the other tools require windows.

I was told that cynogen mod is the pure android without the corporate branding and loaded softwares however i was also told that the google nexus series have the pure android also, so why would a nexus owner want to put the cynogen mod on it if already has the purest form of android on it ?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcpk:
With the Nexus One you got a notification saying an OS update was available. You tap on it to download, then the phone prompts you to reboot and automatically install the update. That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Cyanogen is a community rewrite of stock Android. So there are some extras thrown in for fun, but if you're not so much of a hacker type you can just as easily stick with the stock ROM.

So you're saying watching tv for 10 hours straight won't affect your eyes in any way? They won't even be sore? Tired? Lol okay

No matter what happens to screens, the average consumer will NOT replace their TVs with cell phones lmfao. You would like to watch a movie with your girlfriend on a phone? Ok. Who cares about 720p on phones, the average consumer again will not care. We make up like 1% of the whole android community.

And no matter what happens, a 8mp Samsung camera won't replace your dslr. HDMI out? Lol where have you been most of the latest moto phones have hdmi out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Cyan mod is pure android with extras and modded to take advantage of that phones unique features, or sometimes improvements on features. I'm not familiar with the root for galaxy s2. Is there more than one root hack available? Has somebody written a script that you just need to dl and execute? And look around the root threads. Ask somebody real nicely how they achieved their root with said method. You should've got an atrix. It was easy to root. Just kidding. I was on the fence about an i9100 too.

I voided my warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Agent Wax:
hoping this comes to t-mobile right off the bat. Cant wait. Love the Samsung screens. Hopefully this will be what the Nexus S was supposed to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cachorropedorro:
Wait, I'm a fanboy because I provide evidence against motorola's inferior hardware? Using Android is for bragging rights. In our community people are ridiculed as "gay," "simple" or "sissies" for having an iOS device. The size of the gpu size is negligible when it's on the thinnest cell phone with easily the best benchmarks in the world. http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2 The top 7 mobile devices benchmarked are SGS2 or SGS2 variants. Who cares if s-lcd is the best sipper of juice? You bring that up as if SAMOLED is much worse. http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=640630&d=1309345882 That's from a rooted and rommed SGS2. SAMOLED+/SAMOLEDHD has much higher response rates and is easily regarded as the best displays on mobile devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cachorropedorro:
You took nearly everything I said out of context. No watching tv for 10 hours straight won't affect your eyes in any way. I sit in front of a computer screen for 12 hours a day 4 days a week and my eyes are never sore. Then I come home and read on my iPad, watch TV, and use my laptop before I sleep. That used to be true with older CRT TV's from the 1960's that used to emit x-ray radiation. Read what the doctor on that article says about it affecting your eyes. http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/...o-close-to-the-tv-really-damage-your-eyes.htm I never said that people would replace their TV's with cell phones. The average consumer would care because the phones would be advertised as "FULL HD" and the normal sheep will flock to it simply based on that fact. I never said a cell phone camera will replace a dSLR. I was simply stating something that is widely known, that Motorola mobile cell phone cameras are inferior in picture quality to Samsung. I stated that the Samsung phones have HDMI out because the previous poster was stating that as one of the reasons to choose Motorola over Samsung. Personally I prefer the solid soft metal touch of HTC or Motorola over the cheap plastic feel of the Samsung phones. But I'm not going to lie and say that Samsung isn't the best with regards to hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i think you totally missed the point of my post. who cares if the sgs2 benchmarks faster than most or all phones. the atrix gets better battery life. it's fast enough for most people. yes amoled has it quirks. so does lcd technology. and we're talking about a mobile device here. it's not like getting the family together on friday night to watch the latest blockbuster on 4.3 inch screen. and you're such a fanboy you missed that i pointed out how much i like amoled. you remind me of the "simple" apple fanboys. you're acting like the sgs2 revolutionized something and is the end all be all. die size has a lot to do with mobile technology. who cares if it's the thinnest. it's a big battery gulping gpu. i'd be more impressed if it was 45nm or smaller. and might've made me consider the sgs2 more seriously. i am considering get atnt's sgs2 variant if it doesn't have hw keyboard. but i am keeping my options open. i prefer moto, but i also like htc because they put everybody else's customer service to shame. also, neon was a reason i was considering the sgs2. it helps a lot with video. but hey. it's ok. corporations like people like you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cachorropedorro:
I like how you keep focusing on ad hominem attacks instead of actually providing a strong and solid argument.

It's not hard to miss what you meant in your post. You didn't write much and it's clearly misinformed opinion. I mentioned why your opinion would not be the best choices for a 3rd generation Nexus phone.

You never mentioned the Atrix so nice job adding something else later. "Fast enough for most people" is not what Google wants for their developer phone; it's supposed to be the top of the Android heap, not just 'good enough.' The Atrix does not get better battery life and I proved it with the screenshot of someone's actual battery life rundown. You probably didn't even look at it or analyze it because apparently I'm such a fanboy that my concrete evidence doesn't matter. Take a close look at the link and notice that the 3g radio was on the entire time, wifi was turned on and off sporadically and GPS was off and it lasted 5 days and 10 hours and 30 minutes. It's not about which display has its quirks. It's about which display is overall better. I didn't miss the part where you said you like SAMOLED, I just didn't need to focus on it because apparently you still believed that Google should allow an inferior screen to go on their flagship device. People were saying that it won't matter when screen go higher resolution than 320x240 yet look at where we are now? Phone resolutions will climb higher and higher. Why not put the highest resolution on the Nexus? I'm not acting like the SGS2 revolutionized something. I'm just saying it has the best of everything. Read the reviews by experts and they'll say it's most likely the best phone ever (so far).

"For a handset with such a broad range of standout features and specs, the Galaxy S II is remarkably easy to summarize. It's the best Android smartphone yet, but more importantly, it might well be the best smartphone, period. "

From Ross Rubin from Engadget.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/21/switched-on-the-webos-triangle/

What does the die size matter when it is already the fastest smartphone with the best battery life? The reasons that die size matter are negligible in this case because it is the best at the moment.

You keep focusing on calling me "fanboy," "simple," & "corporations like people like you." I'll continue crushing you with strong arguments backed by evidence.

I will still brag about certain things with my N1. Like the car dock. I absolutely love that thing, and people are always a little taken aback when I dock it, since it isn't a normal thing for smartphones to have.

I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to brag about what you have. As long as you aren't a jerk about it and shoving things down people's throats. Mild bragging never hurt anyone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Oh nothing wrong with 'highlighting' a feature, I.e. led notification on n1 but then you have guys like above telling people that the gs2 has insane battery life 5+ days. Its like damn dude.

I am really curious about the styling. I remember how good the Sensation looked (from pictures - I still haven't seen one in person). I haven't been too impressed with the styling from Samsung on the other phones I have seen, but maybe they will change it up a bit. I also really, really hope that they put a micro sd slot on the phone. I think that was a major oversight on the NS. I would also love to have the LED notification (bonus points if it has a trackball), but that won't be a deal breaker for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidkid311:

Can we please stop bashing each other and just try to keep everything civil and JUST about the Nexus 3/Prime/Whatever.:)

Things are still up in the air about it. If Samsung truly does have the contract, there is nothing we can do right now to change it. We don't have any leaked pictures, so it may end up having a distinctly different look than the other Samsung phones (or it may have the same feel). If you don't like the new phone when it is officially announced/released, let your money speak for you and get another device out there. We have plenty of excellent devices that have unlockable bootloaders now.

We don't need this thread to keep a bashing war going between companies and/or people.:cool:
