So here is the thing, so the screen size of the Nexus will be 4.6", is the actual usable part of the screen larger then our device?

What I mean, doesn't the buttons on the screen have to remain there all the time so in reality that part of the screen is not really usable for anything else. So it looks like you are not really getting any extra screen real estate you can use by having the buttons incorporated into the screen instead of the device.

Anyone see this any other way or am I missing something? If this is the case, it will really suck for smaller screens......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
You are correct. From what I'm seeing the actual viewing screen is 4.3 inches do we imwill have a bigger screen in the end.

Yea, you are missing the fact that the menu buttons can be programmed to auto hide for most applications as the developer sees fit. I doubt you will see the menu buttons while playing games and watching videos, movies, etc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jesse Buck:
Off topic, kinda, I am dubious about placing the buttons onscreen. I haven't played with honeycomb much but with every iteration of android I've owned the screen occasionally freezes leaving only the capacitive buttons operative. If and when the screen freezes in ics will the onscreen buttons remain inoperable? If so, I'm a little glad I got one of the last phones with separate buttons.

You've been Epicly Touched
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I've got a Nook Color...no hardware buttons (aside from power and volume) except home. So we get on-screen ones.

In situations like you describe they still work just fine. Those capacitive buttons are just a piece of the screen with no, well, screen under it. Same digitizer. I wouldn't worry about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
The most recent leaked specs are pretty underwhelming, pretty much only the HD screen is a real upgrade and even then it's going to be curved (wtf) and smaller, harder to read text. The Prime is more of a sidegrade than anything, and not a very appealing one at that. I'm sticking with my galaxy II :D

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II with XDA Premium.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Exactly

Samsung is going to make the galaxy for google and its users will benefit from having updates asap and vanilla android; however the galaxy S series is samsung's flagship. The galaxy S3 will be the next real upgrade from our devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
What is the recently leaked specs. The last I saw it had a 4.6" screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
On my galaxy tab 10.1 it was the same concept with using on screen keys only and they never once dissapeared. There are threads and people rooting just to try and get the buttons to move off screen during video playback and such. Idk. We will sure find out wont we? But ya I think for the most part the buttons will always be on the screen 90% of the time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gradynyc:
I've been looking at galaxy nexus videos for the last couple of days and the software key area does not look capable of using that area for anything but those keys. The screen looks like it ends before the keys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree as well. This phone feels like a mini tablet. If the screen resolution is better, hopefully they put a bigger battery to balance it out. It would make a difference right? Higher Res equals more battery use? Anyhow I love this phone. It is not going anywhere. I can't find anything (other than LOS) which I never get on pulled stock kernel. Wifi range is better than OG Epic, battery great, Bluetooth connects properly, Everything works and works well for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MaliceOmega:
There is actual screen underneath those buttons. Idk if you've seen any of the demos but when doing thing like playing games or watching media those buttons disappear completely leaving you with a 4.65 inch hd screen. Another plus point is that they'll be context sensitive. So the dev of a given app can change them to fit your needs at any given time. I may be striking out from the crowd here but I'm actually totally in favor of then on screen keys. One of the most attractive features of the gnex in my opinion is the bezel to bezel screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Bezel to Bezel screen would be t*ts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
depends what u mean besides the capacitive buttons the nexus still has more room density wise
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Isn't this phone out?

It's a joke phone with the newest OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I don't mean to sound like a ****, but, I'm not sure what your point is. I agree with you 100%. My only point was that on-screen buttons were no different than our current setup, as they are digitizer driven just the same (meaning that our buttons are the same on on-screen buttons except there is no screen underneath them and that their reliability in 'locked up' circumstances is not to be a concern.)

Also, addressing OP's main question, if you do the math....given the resolution and subpixel division between both phones we have, roughly, the identical panel but with a slightly different sub-pixel division. We have an absolutely identical sub-pixel amount...sure, they have less sub-pixels and we have more, but, they have more resolution and we have less. It's the same panel configured with a slightly different sub-pixel arrangement...so...for all intents and purposes consider our screen size identical. 0.10" is nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I kinda agree, the phone itself isn't all that. I felt the same way with the nexus s also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snake4812:
The other cool thing is that the buttons rotate to the bottom of the screen when you flip between portrait and landscape
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
I second that. I'm not too fond of the 16:9 aspect ratio on the GN compared to the screen ratio on our device. I think we have the superior hardware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/17/2568348/galaxy-nexus-review

Of course the new Galaxy Nexus has a better screen. It will look the same size as ours but will be a lot higher resolution. The screen is better on the Nexus and it is the one thing, other than ICS, I wish the SGS2 had. The Nexus and SGS2 have almost exactly the same physical footprint so it doesn't feel different than ours but you get more screen real estate when you need it (games, movies, internet, etc.). The people complaining about the 16x9 are off because the only time it seems like that is when you are in a movie or game and then 16x9 is great because it's like an HDTV. The area the SGS2 excels are the Camera and the processor. I don't know how anyone on here can argue that our older, lower res screen is in any way better than the new 720p Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epiphany9x:
Psychology, psychology, psychology. Those arguments aren't made to persuade you, it's to make the writer feel better about their already aging phone. Face it guys, we will eventually have to accept that our phone is not the "best" in the market anymore, and that at any given time, we can only have the crown for a short while. Enjoy it and know that even after ICS and Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 5 drop, we will have a great, capable device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MaliceOmega:
i didnt take any offense. but the key difference between one screen keys and our soft keys is that our keys dont disappear. regardless of the content being used at the time the keys are there at all times. and as someone mentioned above our keys dont switch with screen orientation either. bottom line of what im trying to say is that if i had the choice id def go with the gnex layout
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Oh, I see. Yes, and I agree. So would I.

Hello guys,

has someone this extended battery or heard of it?

http://www.ebay.de/itm/EXTENDED-ORI...693?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Akkus&hash=item2c5f26030d

Price seems to be very good but the battery isn't from Murgan or an other big company.

Should I better get a 2nd stock battery?

I need one quite fast as I'm going on a 17 hours bus trip with school soon and the stuck battery can't last that long...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Sounds very promising but they aren't released yet and I need it untill the end of next week.

2 extra stock batteries are bit too expensive and carrying + charging 3 batteries with one phone will be hard, too as we do a lot of stuff there so I won't have time as I'm going to use my Arc as my camera, too. Don't want to carry my cam with me, too...

Will decide me untill today in the evening.

Hopefully one of the users here who has the extended battery can say if it's worth it or not untill then.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Just bought the extended one.

Even if it's a bad one it should have the same mAh as the stock battery, at least I do hope that xD
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiko_1272:
Any news on this extended battery, i am intrigued :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Used it one time. Seems a little bit better but Arc looks super ugly with it - I'd say a second stock battery is better.

Sitting in the bus on the way back atm and my stock battery is almost empty so I'm going to use it in a few mins.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
I'm at that point where I'm looking at getting a new battery. I'm not looking for a MONSTER that needs a different back over... so anything between stock battery and 2000mah would nice.

Does anyone have any recommendation as to where I can get them? I might even get a charger for the extra battery.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.volosyuk:
It is probably not really interesting to anyone now, because everybody already have updated, but somehow the update is not pushed to my device. So, the question is: where can I get the original update file whatever the filename is? I googled it several time and found zero references.

Official Asus site has older 8.6.5.9 version:

http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&p=20&s=16

Asus ftp has older version as well:

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/

xda-developers dev forum has modified update with root and for CWM.

Where can I get UpdateLauncher_US_epaduserV8_6_5_13.zip ?

It might not be downloading because of your current version, but if you flash the one mentioned above, it should then do it automatically.

No it doesn't. I have HTJ85B.US-epad.8.6.5.9-20110816 and I checked for update and did other tricks people mentioned, still no update. I just need to know the URL, so I could download it myself. I had root before and the the tablet has had the TW firmware originally, so this may be the reason for updates doesn't really work for me.

Now I would like to root my phone.

1. Is it possible to root with latest firmware? (4.0.1.A.0.283)

2. What guide should I follow to do it the right way?

If I'm correct I need to unlock bootloader first but then what shall I do? The guides I have been reading here seems to be for older firmwares and I don't wanna brick my phone.

Sorry if I posted at the wrong place.

Should be able to unlock the bootloader with the testpoint / s1tool method mentioned here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285285

After you get the booloader unlocked, you can flash an insecure kernel or boot.img and then you can root your phone with superoneclick or similar..

When you got root, go to market and get Superuser on the device. Be sure to update su binary in the app. The app will also tell you that you got root.

Then you can flash the kernel.sin from your FW back to the phone in fastboot mode, and you now have a rooted phone with a secure kernel.

You just made a bullsh*t statement.

I tried to point to the fact it is NOT an ICS. It is a gingerbread base, no matter what it looks like, the core of the ROM is still GB. You can install any ICS app you want, it will be never an ICS. The core makes the real difference (and the kernel, but this is another thing). So I hope you understand now.

Then it makes no sense. It's like you say: "weheheeee, people, I've got a 30 inches of e-penis in my pants, and you never has one like this!"

Well then sir, XDA is NOT interested in your e-penis size, especially if it only looks like you have it and the reality is that you have a vagina.

(And NO, our REAL custom roms are REAL GB and REAL Froyo. These are not just masked to be like GB and F... they based on them. So, end of story ;) )

Hi everyone,

I was tired reading on the web that the iPhone 4S is faster than the SGS2, especially in the browsing part.

On BrowserMark, the iPhone 4S makes a score of 89 567 points, and some general computer websites said that the GS2 makes less than 80k points.

I ran the test myself, on CyanogenMod 7 :

Out beast still beats it by far. The GS2 also makes a greater score in PeaceKeeper (more than 2 times the iPad 2 based on the website's chart).

Sure that Sammy's stock roms are not the best in terms of performance, and they would probably not give the same results in the tests, but at least we know the raw power of the mobile device.

For the iPhone 4S, there is no software barrier, it -should- unleash all of its power since you press the power button. That's especially what's interesting.

Hopefully, the Ice Cream Sandwich stock rom for SGS2 will be as quick as CM7 currently :) With CM7 lead dev in Sammy's hq, it should be quite well.
