Hey Geko you still stay to your SGS II?

I couldn't stay there anymore. Team Hacksung fighting with closed sound and bluetooth drivers. Delayed sources for stock ROMs. Delayed updates (did the SGS II finally hit 2.3.5 official? Stock ROMs filled with Sammy stuff which I don't need or where I have my own solution for it. 800x480 resolution on a 4.3" screen. This are just the main points why I didn't enjoy it that much.

The only disadvantage is that pulser doesn't own a Nexus ;).

I know the NG isn't that awesome but from my point of view it looks better than the SGS II and I sold the SGS II for 300.- so I just have to pay 500.- rather than 800.- (32GB).

I don't want to convince you or something just wanted to show some points which you probably missed.

By the way I found something for the mega pixel junkies.

Have 10MP on your Galaxy Nexus!!!

This program is able to blow up pictures by over 100%. Or at least that's what they promise.

So you can finally stop complaining and buy the phone yeah...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
Hey,

Yeah, I'm sticking with it till SGS3 comes next year.

Few reasons for that:

I don't mind the slow speed at which the official roms are updated since I never use stock roms.

All bloatware can be removed without to much hassle.

Having 4.3 inch screen with that resolution suits me to the ground and is the most compatible resolution.

I have no urge to part with even more cash for more regular updates rather than having better hardware.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
If you can live with that it's fine, to bad though you're doing a good job in the SGS II section :D.

I had a N1 and NS before and to experience all this stuff (delayed updates, strange bootloaders, bloatware) wasn't something I could understand and deal with.

This phone has to be released I'm getting bored!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
Haha, I have done a good job since I realized I could get over 3 days from Desire HD's miserable tiny battery. While almost everyone else could only manage 1 day at a push lol.

I really don't have any issues with SGS2 updates, they are better at them than HTC at the moment. That's pretty much as good as it gets right now.

So Phones4u are telling people they call re: the Galaxy Nexus it's not the best phone, quite poor in most ways, order a GSII instead? :-o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
This is all just a hoax.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
What is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
This phone being released in any amount of a timely fashion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I don't see why everyone has this mentality. They announced the phone to be released in November. Its November 6. They have over 3 weeks left to deliver on their prior statement. They have not ONCE stated a specific date that the GN will come to the US. People have just gotten this crazy idea in their head that they have announced it and now they're just delaying it.

Chill. They will release it. And it'll be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Lol I know I just want it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sygeek:
It will be officially released in the Europe in November 17. Google has already announced that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I know. We're talking about the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
I think the hype train has officially ran off the rails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Yep, it won't be long and the next new phone will be coming down the pike.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Not with stock android.. Well until next November
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Technology keeps marches on.

My interest is already fading and'll be kaput after dec 6th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Amen. Although I'm still gonna get it, I just wish I could have had it by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
What happens Dec 6th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
oh that train started derailing when the launch event was postponed due to "steve jobs mourning". then it totally derailed after the launch event with the specs and no Prime in the name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
i just agree.

now that HTC will bring that quadcore monster.. i'm gonna wait till that one.

i'll buy the GN only when it won't be that expensive.. im not gonna pay more than 500CHF for that. (thats still more than a GSII, wich is 480.-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Yes. Yes, if only they called this the Prime, it would be a much better phone indeed.

:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
srsly, this is totaly true!

im serious when im saying that i would have bought the phone INSTANTLY just because the name..

i REALLY don't care about the hardware, i don't care if its obsolete after one or two months.. IF IT HAS SUCH A SEXY NAME LIKE NEXUS PRIME

and now? another gay galaxy crap ;((((
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
1) Google never said anything about "Prime"

2) HTC making a quad core with no time line for release means nothing.

3) There's absolutely NOTHING you can do on your phone that requires 4 cores. Not to mention that one of the main ideas of a Nexus is to avoid manufacturer frameworks.

Delusional
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Maybe has something to do with the Asus Transformer Prime they didnt want to share the word.

If you are ONLY into the names then you should go for the Driod Bionic or the HTC Thunderbolt ;)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
It's still a sexy Nexy ;-).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
They did, remember the xml page on samsungmobile named "nexusprime.xml"?^^

i guess the htc edge for a februar announcement, release in march or so..

i really dont care much about the hardware anymore, it always runs fast y'know.. but i dont pay 700.- for a device wich will be beaten by a 600.- device after two months. i think thats understandable.

sure it is, but with a ugly tongue twister name :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Google NEVER said the next Nexus would be the prime. Devices get code names all the time. Bonus points for what the Nexus S was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
xD yes, google didn't, that's probably true.

but google indeed has no taste if they name a device "galaxy nexus". by god..

we all know that samsung has no taste, but i hoped something else from google

even "Nexus Three" would be better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
No smartphone releases that I know of. It's just the day before the day of infamy.

I'm going in for rotator cuff surgery and will be on short term disability for a couple of months. My mobility communication needs will change, giving me time to consider the next best thing.

Of course I wish I already had a GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanttii:
Its awesome!

Got to try Galaxy Nexus! It's even better than the reviews say, it's amazing! Even if the software was yet a bit buggy, I still enjoyed trying out what's new and cool. I might even pre-order it...

I only wish they had let me to connect it to my computer for a few short minutes......you know for what :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Describe Buggy ?

Kind of worrisome its STILL buggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
Aren't they still on pre-release versions? If so, that would explain bugginess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Any pre-release devices sent out would most likely still have a firmware built sometime before the presentation since they normally don't update those phones until release from what I've seen. For that reason I'm not that worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanttii:
Exactly. September 27th, if I remember correctly - and even the UI wasn't fully completed, there were some differences like arrow-like lockscreen unlock hint, different lock screen icons, some stuff elsewhere. It still was very fast, making me think what it will be lie when it comes to stores!

One thing irritates me about ICS... If the idea of removing some buttons was to get more screen estate, what is the point in just moving them into software without a possibility to hide them and bring back with a swipe or other gesture? If a swipe works in ADW, it will work in ICS too in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Also I dont think you can get rid of the Google Search bar which takes up the top line on every screen. That would really be anoying and lose valuable space on the screen. Im sure it can be dealt with by 3rd party home screen apps but then you arent getting the pure android experience..

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanttii:
Crap. I hope they will make it possible with an update or something.. wouldn't be very cool to have to root the device to get rid of it, and then lose the whole app at the same time if done in the easy way..

Oh, and why is the Galaxy Nexus General forum's ID 1337? Is there a meaning behind it, or is it just..mere coincidence? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Pure coincidence Im sure as the number is assigned automatically when the Forum is created by the Admin.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
that's why you use Launcher Pro. heck i'd hope CM9 comes a long a.s.a.p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Initially I wasn't pleased with this either. Then my brain kicked in. Let's say an app icon takes up a 4x4 area on your screen. The search bar is essentially a 1x1 area. I don't think we would have much to gain without it, I believe it almost evens out screen size actually. I'm sure once I get the phone ill root it and take it off for great fun, but I think I'll live another day with it there..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Thats if the 3rd party homescreen replacements work well with ICS. I get alot of force closes using ADW with my tablet and im not sure how nicely they will play with the new widget manager.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
Even so, if it doesn't work out of the box, I'm pretty sure the third party launchers will update to make it work properly, They're not gonna let a popular product die, especially if it's making them money LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Im not so sure about that I mean none of the popular launchers have updated to make them compatable with tablets and Honeycomb. Launcher Pro Plus hasnt been updated in a long time and doesnt work at all nicely with Honeycomb.

Hopefully a new launcher will pop up that will enhance the existing features of ICS rather than completely change it.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
it's ID is 1337? srsly? that would be another positive point for the device x)

Sent from my HD2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Hardly surprising since they have not had any new code to base it on. Launcher2 hasn't changed noticably since 2.3 in December 2010. I'm 100% sure we will see some great ICS-based launchers a while after ICS hits AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodend:
Mate, you´ve got an anger problem. It´s hard enough reading some of your frustrated comments, but stop using the word gay as an insult. Grow up.

Mod why isn´t his post edited / deleted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Really no reason to be upset. It's a word and if you are taking it as homosexual it isn't he's using it as stupid while that may not be pc. No need to even say anything about the post move on some people need to chill when it comes to the internet. Like swearing its a curse word what makes it bad? If you just say the f word not directing it at someone to go f their self or whatever. People need to stop being prudes it isn't the 50s anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
by god, i knew i shouldn't click the post button when i wrote that..

i'm just fed up, waiting for a new nobrainer like the HD2 was. maybe that's why my comments look a bit frustrated :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Waiting for the HD2 was a bit (lot) frustrating lol by the time I got mine it had already been SSPL'd and custom roms were appearing.. They VASTLY understocked the HD2 and then discontinued it after like 4 or 5 months and its turned out to be one of the most versatile and well loved phones ever produced.

Go figure :rolleyes:

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
:3 i got mine in the first week.. there was no HSPL back then xD

but true, it really was understocked. i was so happy to get mine so early :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodend:
This is my last post about it. But what you are writing is pure nonsense. There´s a difference between using swear words, like f... or words with insults people. So stop defending this offensive and immature ****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Back on topic please people..

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
there is the word "gay" wich means the homosexual guys, and there is the word "gay" wich is used to swear, like you just did.

maybe it's not like that in your language, i don't know

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdapao3:
In the last 6 months I have been opening and closing the battery cover on my SGS countless times as I swap batteries at least once a day and it still locks perfectly.

As for the casing, I dropped it 3 times in 6 months and not a sign anywhere.

It feels nice to hold in the hand and the phone itself is a lightweight.

Find me a better one. What more can you ask for??

P.S. I have had my SGS2 too short a time to pass judgement but it seems it's going to be the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiboe:
Guess what.....att has it too, T-Mobile throttles ya. And sprint ended unlimited data for wifi hotspots, blame Iphone users
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
This is what I'm hearing:

Display: 4.65-inch HD(1280x720) Super AMOLED

Camera: 8 megapixel (flash)/2 megapixel on the front

Battery: 1850 mAh

Value added features: 1.5GHz dual core AP, embedded 16GB memory,

Bluetooth 3.0 HS, WiFi a/b/g/n

Specs similar to the Galaxy S II HD LTE just announced in Korea: http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/20...ne-up-in-Korea

It will not be a Verizon exclusive either. There will be other versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryboto:
I'm hearing from some sources it's exclusive, from others that it'll come to other carriers later....hoping the latter is true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadennis:
It's impossible that a Nexus Device would be Verizon exclusive ... it would be useless in nearly every Country but the USA ... can't imagine Google would be that dumb ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
many of you are getting the wrong message here

the exclusive is only for a few months, not forever.

just like T mobiles when they got both nexus 1 and nexus 2

they had 3 month exclusive, then the rest of the operators will get it too after that period

so the same thing is for Verizon, even if they do exclusive

which might not, since i read other places about it being release on both Sprint and Verizon

but Verizon first, then sprint, so we'll see if that's true later this month
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Google is/would be stupid to release this on Verizon only. They should release to all carriers. If I have to wait 3 months for me to get a GSM version I might pass this up if something better comes along. The nexus prime would make a greater impact if it was released to all carriers at same time. Look at the nexus s, it lost its appeal by the time it was made available for sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
agree 1000%

and the same thing will happen again, if they don't release it to all carriers by December
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Yeah good news that the specs have been detailed upward again, reported by Phandroid here.

What about EU exclusivity agreements? When the Desire HD was coming out Vodafone had exclusivity, I heard a rumour the first batch were still factory unlocked and took a chance by buying it from a Vodafone shop, and it was indeed unlocked and unbranded, didn't come out on my network Three until a month or two afterwards, any ideas on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
Specs rumored are:

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

9mm thin

4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass

TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz

1GB of RAM

32GB of built-in storage

5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front

1080p HD video capture support

LTE/HSPA depending on carrier

Wi-Fi a/b/g/n

NFC

1,750 mAh battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Not anymore, look at the previous posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
you can't trust something you read from a forum post.

it's best to wait from some more reputable web sites
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Of course not that's a given, but it is now more likely, Black_man_x is apparently in possession of one of these devices and BGR have gotten these things wrong before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Nice specs hopefully the verizon exclusivity is fake, and sprint gets it the same day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
In a few months quad core is out, if its a verizon exclusive might as well wait for quad core

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Okay my first post on xda, been through this thread and other sites.

Anyone know who is the rumoured to have this phone in the UK? e.g. Orange, T-Mobile UK, 3 ?

Just wondering due to contract ends next year and thinking maybe upgrading to this if its on my provider.

Sorry for asking if it has been posted before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
i don't think anyone until the GSM version is out.

CDMA is not very popular in Europe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryboto:
New rumored specs-

http://www.gsmarena.com/source_close_to_google_reveals_real_nexus_prime_specs-news-3239.php
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdapao3:
Not very popular as in "there is no CDMA in Europe" (nor everywhere else, practically) :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Ah thanks AliGamer

That sucks though.

Will have to look for another phone to upgrade to then sadly prob like Nexus S if its cheaper or a better HTC.

Look like a great phone, to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that's just the same stuff that has been floating on the net for the past 2 days

the real unpacking is just a few days away.

we'll know the truth by then
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I like this rumor better it dosent say exclusive

Soon to be Nexus Prime owner if on sprint :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
If these are true, i'll pay my ass off to get that Prime<3 If not, i'll try to hang on for quadcores.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriouser:
Dammit this'd be perfect if it had a microSDHC slot. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryboto:
Actually, there's two batches of rumored specs, and GSMarena has had two news stories today, one for each...so who knows. basically it's either an OMAP 4460(which is still a dual core A9) at 1.2ghz with a 5mp camera and a standard battery, or a 1.5ghz Exynos with a beefed up GPU, 8mp camera and 2k mAh battery.

has there been any sort of confirmation that it doesn't have one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
this is seems to be due the previous release of Nexus 2 not having SD card slot

so a lot of people are assuming the Nexus 3 will most likely not have it again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Haha. It would make sense though to have a GSM option available for December, would be a shame if there was only the GSII as an EU equivalent for the holiday (not really a shame, but you get what I mean :p).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriouser:
At least the posted specs a few posts back don't mention it. Nexus S didn't have one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
indeed, i was really shocked when they announced it was for verizon first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
The Nexus One had a SD Card slot, the Nexus S didn't though. Samsung doesn't like using SD Cards anymore I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
only the Nexus 2 didn't have it

all other Samsung phones have sd card slots
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Hopefully it doesn't take long to move to others there if that's the case, hate waiting for phones to become available on an operator when a friend is walking around showing theirs off to the world. :D

Still looking forward to drooling on Tuesday even if there's no GSM radio inside it. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNago:
SGSII has it?

I thought they would ditch it to improve size and slimness, but I would like it on my NexusS, but in addition to built-in memory, sooooo much faster!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
well there was another rumour spec going around saying the new Nexus Prime, was going to have a CDMA/GSM (850/900/1900/2100) antennae like the iphone4s, which means you can use it on any cell phone provider you want

except AWS (1700/2100) gsm that is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
just visit the SGS2 section and you can see lots of pictures about it

right above the battery just like the SGS1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Nexus Prime!

Soon to be Nexus Prime owner if on sprint :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdapao3:
What do you mean by bolding "in addition"?? Of course it's in addition.

On my Samsung Galaxy S I had 8Gb internal memory plus the 32Gb microSD, on my Samsung Galaxy SII I have 16Gb internal memory plus the same 32Gb microSD...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Intratech:
Nerd p0rn! If this is true... fwap fwap fwap!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdapao3:
Not much of a shame for me.. the screen (assuming it's 4.65") is too small an improvement over my SGS2! :P

Plus if it really has a metal unibody design that's another showstopper for me..

**** my girlfriend !!!

LOL

guys it will release october 11 ??? So we can buy in october 11?? or it will be just a presentation ???

thank you

(im going to post my SGSII on ebay)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
nope, it will not work with Tmobile USA which runs on AWS

we'll probably need to wait for another version of the Nexus Prime for it to have the proper radios

unless, the radio included are 850/1700/1900/2100

then it'll work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Hmmmm, niiice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriouser:
More than likely announced on the 11th. Won't mean it'll be immediately available though.

If that's a real picture have to wonder about the placement of the buttons ie. "back" button on the left instead of on the right like on Galaxy S.

Phandroid aren't keen on the mockup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Don't think anyone will deny it's a fantastic looking mockup anyways even if it is faked!

Edit:

I see someone has commented at Phandroid to say it's their render and they only intended it as a mockup of their own vision of what the device could be like.

He's updated to put the side profile the right way now:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taijohnsen:
I think they have made it too wide.. It's a 16:9 display so unless they have stupid pixel ratios it's going to be 16:9 and 4.65 inches diagonal..

EDIT: unless it just looks that way because the buttons at the bottom are part of the screen now...
