[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeitgeb3r:
In australia, mobicity and kogan are already taking pre orders for the 30 nov release, albeit with rip off prices.

Since galaxy nexus has an underwhelming spec, I'll just wait for S3 announcement in jan 2012. It might just turn out to be quad core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catachresistant:
I'm really torn on this one. Ice Cream Sandwich looks amazing, and it probably has the hands-down best screen out there atm.

BUT

I just know that HTC will come out with a unibody aluminium ICS model with a much smaller top bezel that I will infinitely prefer from an aesthetic and "feel" standpoint... The top bezel is really, really annoying to me, it's really large and ruins the look of the phone imo. I would have bought an iPhone4 when it came out, if large bezels didn't annoy me so much. I also don't like the lightweight, plastic construction. At least it's not glossy, I suppose.

So the screen is going to be the deciding factor. I just don't know :( Can I be patient enough for HTC to release an Amaze-like ICS device in the UK? Or the first Moto ICS phone? And in any case, their screens won't be as good, so... urgh :(

Another negative would be the lack of an SD slot. I want to use my phone as an mp3 player, so 32gb isn't going to cut it for me...

I wish Samsung just made this thing out of duralumin. Their Series 9 design is soooo sexxxy, not just because of the materials but because of the curves, the solid machined look of the thing, it's beautiful. Their phone design department needs a kick up the backside. At least the iPhone-ripping-off days are behind them. I'm probably one of the few people here that jumped for joy when Apple sued Samsung. Why would anyone want more phones to look as rubbish as the 3G(s). Touchwiz can smd right off too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lord69:
I Would've bought nexus if it offered the same excellent video player from the SGS2...sigh...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yaotl:
I'll give it a week or so after people start actually playing with it to make up my mind. I currently have an atrix and while the hardware is fine, the dev community just isn't the same as on a nexus device. as long as there aren't any glaring misses with the gn, I'll probably get it, just need to see about the possible roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
After selling my Sensation I have $700 to put towards the GN. Hopefully it has a sdcard slot (it has been confirmed via hands on videos) so I can have 64gb of goodness on the go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Have the cash tucked away for a 32GB since two months ago. I refuse to preorder at these made up prices until the real deal gets announced. Looking to buy outright for use on AT&T with my unlimited plan.

I'm still pissed off at Google for not learning from Apple: Announce, Price and Release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catachresistant:
It has?

That Would Change Everything.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
It was confirmed on the leaked ad a bit before the announcement. Don't remember which hands on vid it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a micro sd card slot so there will be no option for memory upgrade. You will have to put up with the 16GB or 32GB internal memory that comes with the phone. This has been confirmed from hands on videos and specs.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Oh well, internal is faster and I've been fine with 32gb on previous devices. Wasn't too worried, 64gb would have just been nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raviluke:
I probably will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I had the Nexus One and the Nexus S and when the SGS II was released I decided to break my own rule and step out of the Nexus family. Stupid decision.

I don't enjoy it as much as Nexus' devices due to my love to AOSP ROMs and there aren't so many on the SGS II. In addition to that, all this stupid stuff that is coming along with the SGS II annoys me too much.

Can't wait until I can have it.

Edit: Oops I just read that the poll is for updating from the Nexus S to the Galaxy Nexus. But doesn't matter when I have the GN it will be like I never had another between the two Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadow65781:
Won't be an upgrade, be selling my Infuse to subsidize the cost. Give this to my wife
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djfrost17:
i've been up for an upgrade since November...this is the phone i've been waiting for.

going to sell my fascinate and hopefully that covers some of the expense of the new phone...

cant wait!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeanFloyd:
if it comes to T-Mobile I will gladly be getting one. If not, probably will be waiting another year for something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mainspring:
I have no wish to sell or trade in my Senny. I love it but, if the GN comes to Tmo I might get one if not for anything, as a backup unit.

always wanted a developer phone but stayed away from the vanilla experience in the past cause it looked ugly as sin. :p

the ICS looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
How much yall thinking this is gonna cost off contract. $699 I hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
My guess is $529 for 16gb.

I don't see why it would cost more than the Nexus S when it launched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Damn dude. You hoping to unload your wallet, couch, piggy bank and pawn a few things? I hope its not more than $600 for the 32gb version.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLoNe1:
I think a little closer to $700. Maybe $669; around that mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
I'm jumping from the sgs2 to the gn, timely ota updates from google, do want!

I am using my mother upgrade on her contract, ill pay the excess and give her my sgs2, cheaper than buying upfront, we both get new phones woo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
I have t mobile and I don't care if it never comes to T-Mobile. I will buy it off contract from any provider or company that will sell it unlocked with T-Mobile bands. I've had both nexuses and they rock. My sensation is nice but screen real estate and resolution are number one for me, so its a no brainier, and basically next day updates from Google are a God send. Can't wait to pre order.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klarson:
I'll get it as long as it comes to costco. I'll exchange my bionic for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Boomey:
No point in buying it if the battery life sucks. If, after reading reviews and posts on this forum, I learn people can't get at least 2 days out of the phone without charge, then I'll pass. I love Android, will never, ever buy an iOS device ever again and believe that the system ****s on Apple's phone in almost every way, but what's the point of having such amazing features if halfway through the day you're at less than 50% battery? Learnt that the hard way with my HTC Desire HD and I'll definitely not make the same mistake again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
Imagine what guys like me are currently dealing with. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a battery upgrade no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
There's phones that last over 2 days with no root modifications? I've always had about a days worth of battery. Just plug it in when you go to sleep
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zmydust:
So you'll be rocking a Nokia 5165 for the rest if your life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
my 8290 lasts almost a week with minimum usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
my e71 lasts almost 3 days with very heavy usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Boomey:
I know that, that was basically the whole point of my post. I hope the Nexus Prime follows suite. My cousin's Desire lasts more than a day (he claimed four with moderate usage which blew my mind) and he's not rooted either.

I didn't think it was such a high expectation wanting less than 2 days out of a smartphone. I guess the standards have been dropping lately as to what people want in a phone ... which is probably why manufacturers aren't addressing the issue more. I'm hoping the Nexus Prime proves me wrong with that assumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
We're using phones more powerful than older computers and they're running on a battery the size of a saltine cracker. If you use it as infrequently as you would an old phone, it'll live longer, but expecting to be able to use 4g speeds and CPU intensive apps without a charge for two days is just stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartinW81:
Just turn off 3G, data and never turn on screen and you should get a pretty good battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Airplane mode and awesome standby times. Can you dig it?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DV1510:
I will wait for the Motorola razr. This is an awesome phone. Powerfull device with micro SD slot and no plastic. And ics should coming in the first 3 months of 2012.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartinW81:
Yeah :cool:

I mean, really, is it a problem that you have to charge it every night? Not really, would be worse if it wouldn't stand a day with normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Well its wishful thinking to think the smartphones with screens that are basically the entire face can go two days with moderate to heavy use anymore. The good ole never have to charge nokia/blackberry days are behind us. I am very eager to see what the 5th core nvidia kal el and 3rd core in the omap 4470 can do to help sip battery juice. And also to see how well arm's new ultra low power architecture with an extra core or two does to help a generation or two of soc's from now.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
It's called multiple batteries. I own 3 for my Vibrant. I rarely need more than 1 spare, and I usually don't even need it throughout the course of a day.

They were $3 each. *gasp*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartinW81:
You would need a battery with NFC-chip for this one though, if I understood it correct.

But maybe they aren't that expensive either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Yes. Of what I understood, the NFC functionality is bulked with the battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cutter2668:
Seidio now has their 3500 mah extended battery available for purchase.

price is 69 bucks you can google seidio innocel or seidio to find their website.

Ive used the seidio extended battery on the evo 4g and still do. Great battery gets you through the whole day and then some.

WARNING: Mugen Power batteries does NOT have an extended battery available yet, there are counterfeit sites pretending to be mugen, if you buy from MUGEN POWER ( can pre order ships in november) make sure you are in touch with their genuine website.

The issues with mugen and the fake websites made the seidio decision that much easier for me.

I am trying to access media files (mp3 or video files) from shared network drive and play directly in Galaxy Tab 10.1. I am using ES File Explorer and i am able to access my network locations. But it is very SLOW. If any one knows any app with which i can directly access network files on my tab and play them directly in the same wifi network, please advice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokpog:
I use a similar setup, SMB network share (which my NAS provides) and ES File Explorer to access the files. It's very fast, I have no problem streaming 720p videos using Dice Player. What apps do you use to play the videos?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarebadger:
I usually play video over LAN with BS Player, it has a "LAN mode" integrated into the app.

But as long as the files are under 2GB (at least that seemed to be the case, since if I wanted to play a 3GB file it didn't work (very slow and stuttering) but if I split it into two smaller pieces it worked fine) going to their location in File Manager HD and playing them like local storage seems to work too (tried BS player and Dice player, both worked fine).

I am not a noob and have flashed hundreds of time so please refrain from posting without helping.

I have searched a lot but could not find any similar thread.

So I am posting here.

I have inadvertently flagged "re-partition" when flashing an official Rom with Odin and now when trying to flash any different Rom I can't go through the entire process - same thing when trying to flash some clockworkmod recovery.

Error is like in the image that I am posting here.

No way to have some other remedy.

Could you help me please?

+10 char

but to give you a little hint (eventhough everyone is going to hate me cause i answered and even made an attempt to help) look for roms which are MADE to be flashed WITH repartition enabled (you will need a pit file as well). also: your phone aint rooted. root it via odin and then have a look.

@mods: please delete thread
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtec303:

Get firmware, get .pit file for Galaxy S2 use Odin with .pit and repartition enabled to flash the firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Actually, you don't really need a *.pit file, you can also use a Sbl.bin file.

You aren't really using an official rom, more like someone's dump of an official rom. It might be missing stuff, or have stuff added.

Official ROM contents: (Inside the *.tar file)

boot.bin

cache.img

factoryfs.img

hidden.img

modem.bin

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage

It seems that the partitions are all gone, therefore your phone is unable to mount partitions that are already gone. Fortunately, your bootloader is still working which is why you are able to access your download mode, and somehow still able to access your recovery, which is probably written into the only intact partition.

Download an OFFICIAL ROM with a *.pit or Sbl.bin file which contains the partition information, and then use ODIN to flash again.

Your EFS might be missing as well, so the modem might not be able to work. Modem is the one that controls your phone calls and data through GSM/WCDMA.

Use Fus Downloader 2.0 and download the latest FULL OFFICIAL ROM for your phone, then flash and repartition your phone.

Now that I have helped...

YOU ARE A NOOB!!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinterchaos:
A friend of mine dropped his phone and since then it had booted up the T-mobile animation and went to a black screen with lit up buttons.

He wasn't rooted, or anything of the sorts.

He hit me up asked if I could take a look at it, saw others having similar issues (not because of dropping the phone) and figured trying to flash stock with Odin may remedy the problem.

Flashed stock, after it left download mode it went to the recovery, saw it said "Data Wipe Failed", boot loops on the Vibrant Samsung text screen, flashes every 5-10 sec or so. Tried to Odin multiple times, same outcome every time.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
Sounds like he broke his phone when he dropped it. May have cracked or rendered inoperable the onboard storage so it has no where to put the Odin files. If it's still under warranty, send it back for replacement.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
From what I can tell your first problem is that your in 3e recovery. I would recommend odening back to 2.1 eclair then get root access and then flash CWM. this was the best method for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
One little exception though

First just boot it back up and go back to that screen you posted, then re-install the packages, might need to do it twice, if that doesn't work then do a fresh install of JFD again and follow the instructions listed below, you just haven't re-installed the packages yet to get your CWM recovery green screen yet!!

Do what he says, but untick the reboot in odin, so you will have manual control of that, REASON WHY is so you can use the 3E recovery menu to clear data/reset to factory and then wipe the cache, these two things alone if not done account for alot of locking or boot looping during first initial start after a fresh flash, and is the reason why the OP's suggest to always wipe and clear, so as to remove Ghosts from the prior SW and not corrupt the data, and or especially mess with the BLdr's

Also make sure to root the phone first after your fresh install of JFD, before you install Rom Manager, then flash CWM.

Also when you go to CWM recovery the first time to re-install packages, sometime you have to do it twice, and usaully the 2nd time will get you to your green menu , and then your in business to start the process of Modding with the flavors around here!!

I tried to enter QHSUSB_DLOAD and I download and install the driver but I'm unable to restore the os with webosdoctor or something similar.

I got the screen to flash for a quick 1 second once... by tempering around with the buttons.. Don't think that'll help much?
