[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
Fair enough. Not meaning to argue your opinion, but I think you are missing some information. I've left out anything subjective or camera-related. :D

The Nexus S also launched about a month before dual-core chips came out, and back then everyone was outraged. It was still arguably the best Android phone for a good 6 months after though. The Galaxy Nexus is actually in the upper echelon of Android phones right now, and with the next big chip not coming for a good 4-5 months, it's in a better position than the S was.

That's a Qualcomm versus TI thing, not Xiaomi versus Google. The OMAP4460 was meant to run at 1.5 too but for whatever reason it was deemed necessary to take it down a notch. Let's not forget that the OMAP4430 @1GHz trades blows with the 1.2GHz MSM8260. I don't think the OMAP4460 @1.2GHz is going to be too disappointing. :)

This is something the media is loving at the moment. The fact is, 720p PenTile (at this screen size) actually is at the very limit of Samsung's AMOLED printing technology. It's a bleeding-edge display, the sub-pixel arrangement doesn't have anything to do with that. It may not be up there in terms of 'sub-pixel density' as the highest-end LCDs, but it's the best OLED you are going to see for a while. At the very least look at the screen before passing it off; the Galaxy Note with 10% less density holds up very well against the iPhone 4, and completely blows away the SGS2 - which is as good as SAMOLED+ currently gets. Check this comparison out and decide which of these two panels you'd rather have. :D

The old negative effects that some found with RGBG PenTile get lesser and lesser as the density goes up - to the point it's a non-issue on the Galaxy Nexus.

Have to agree there. The one thing I like about Apple is that their releases are as tight as a twelve-year-old back injury. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
From what I've read, the only reason for the underclocking to 1,2 GHz was to increase battery life with the already energy-saving OMAP4460 even more. Since the phone will still be able to rock everything (EVERYTHING!) without issues I can't see a problem with that. Some people are far too much concerned about specs on a paper. And for the xda-users: it'll still be able to overclock to who knows what rate? ;)

Thank you very much, mate! You took away the last doubts I had about the display. I would've hated to regret the purchase every time I look at the display, but this is a very nice comparison picture. I'll still wait until sone reviews are out and I had the chance to play with a GN in a store, but this picture is explaining the differences PenTile does (or does not) make better, than all the theoretical stuff I've read. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
I don't even think 1.2GHz will be necessary, ICS is supposedly rendered by the GPU(SGX) and the OMAP4460 is relatively new still so it should work fine at lower clocks. This phone has good specs, but I'm concerned about the price tag...The price should be lower to compete with iPhone4S and other Androids.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lennshow66:
When windows listened to consumers they brought us Vista, which was a fail. Companies in order to suceed they need to develop from thier previous hardware or software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Has "official" pricing been released yet? I know what the Verizon map says about contract pricing @ $299, but what about non-contract pricing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
this is what im trying to figure out, off contract price is all i care about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
I was using the Verizon map that leaked it's probably accurate, I just wanna know the price of the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheSonicEmerald:
Well, if the similarly priced Bionic was $539 off-contract, the Galaxy Nexua should be somewhere mear there.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osgov:
I've been rocking an HTC HD2 for about 2 years now, so really looking forward for an upgrade, as you can imagine.

I really do not mind lack of SD or the 'low' CPU/GPU clocks - I trust that google doesn't employ fools to design their flagship products, and as many have said before, if this hardware is in GN - then it must be the OPTIMUM hardware for the ICS.

This whole SUPER AMOLED+ thing made me wonder for a bit there.. I am not a screen expert, so I usually trust what the tech sites say. But upgrading from a HD2's TFT 217ppi 16k colour display this really makes little difference.

I do have one concern - Battery life. HD2's gingerbread barely lasts 36 hours with moderate data usage. Will the GN 1750 mAh battery be enough?

Either way, I am going to upgrade my phone before Christmas, and it is most definitely going to be a Galaxy Nexus, which I am hoping to maintain for another 2 years.

However, if I had a GS2 or another dual-core monster, I'd wait for the next batch of android smartphones (Galaxy S3 for example).

For owners of 1Ghz last generation smartphones, there should be little doubt about getting a GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingcedz:
I think 36 hours is a tough mark to beat running on stock. Then again, Nexus S' battery life was much better than I initially thought, I guess the lack of SD card option and some other compromises helped.

Personally wouldnt worry too much about battery life. I m sure it ll be easy to get a 2nd battery for high profile device as the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
The sgs2 has between 4 hours to 5 (1650mah battery) and 5 to 7 hours (2000mAh battery) screen on time (display in android battery use info).

Is there even any quoted battery life stats yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sauron0101:
The quoted life versus actual life vary so widely with different devices that until we can actually get these phones, it's probably pointless to speculate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Very true! I hope the battery life is good though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A2Eric:
Anyone know if it has the noise canceling technology that the N1 has? It is a phone after all! Would be nice if it sounds as good my trusty N1. Will miss the SD card though. The problem with the cloud (music anyway) is it uses your monthly data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osgov:
Apparently it does!

According to wikipedia anyway

Hooray!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Does it have the needed second noise cancelling mic on the back? I can't tell, it looks like there's a notch on the top right of the battery cover. But it doesn't look like a mic to me which would suck. Samsung can have horrible call quality so second mic is a must!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
With moderate to high usage, my Nexus S can last almost two days.

I charge once every two days during the night.

Ok, I don't sync email and almost never stream media. Mainly I use web browsing, gaming, facebook and Google plus.

But, I expect this phone would have at least the same battery level judging from the slightly increased battery capacity with bigger screen.

Hopefully the full hardware acceleration would help as well, easing the burden of the cpu to render ui and it's animation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I've had my nexus s since March, no screen protector or case. I just make sure to carry by itself in my pocket. Still looks mint, no scratches on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Same here! Also, put a 99¢ Tpu case on and no more plastic feel. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
"Battery life" is extremely subjective. I really don't understand the drive to not charge a phone at the end of every day. Needless to say, I've gotten 3 days out of my Vibrant before, and I can manage 6 hours as well. Either way, spare OEM batteries were $2 or $3 each off of Amazon and I have 3 of them. ;)

I also don't understand why people will spend $300-$600 for a phone but they won't shell out a few bucks for an extra battery. I'll probably go ahead and pony up an extra $60 or whatever it is for an overpriced OEM battery from Verizon the day I buy the phone.

Charge your phone people. It's a smart phone. It has more computing power than most people's first PC. Stop expecting it to last a week on a charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
I do the exact same thing as you... I have 4 extra battery's for my vibrant.

Well why have an amazing phone if your not going to use it to its fullest potential?

Oc it, auto sync all your email accounts, fill your homescreens with Widgets... make them auto refesh often, put up a crazy live wallpaper, use your phone guys. Its fun.

Well i just got this bad boy yesterday. Hardly able to put it down when I'm at home already.

Haven't gotten round to root yet. This weekend be the big event...lol.

So im hoping you guys can give me a few ideas as to the best roms and features available.

What rom do you guys use? Any favorites? And why? Too many questions I know. :-)

Thanks in advance.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voyager_s:
^^^^hmmmm. Well i was more curious as to what most folks were using as their daily driver rather than seeking advice as to how to root the device, but thanks anyway.

Still. If anyone can recommend any good mods or roms or themes etc it would be appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nurd52:
Check your serial number, if it's >B70 then it's not rootable. Yes they are working on it but it's been almost 2 months and nothing. Appears to be locked down in hardware and thus not by-passible via the usual tricks of the past. Most likely it's because of DRM if I had to guess.

If your serial is B70xxxxx check it anyway, some of the B70's may be rootable if they still have the older SBKv1 ROM (or whatever it is).

Mine's going back (B80 serial) - it's a dead duck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:

Right...i just checked the serial number and it looks like I'm safe. Phew!

It says B50. So i can get on with my tinkering afterall. Thank God for that.

Would have been a bit silly to turn up again at best buy for the second time within the space of 3 days to return another tablet...lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
After rooting our phones, there are several apps that still run (for instance AP and AccuWeather) that I never use.

Autostarts is a really great app.

It lets you prevent apps from opening on certain occurances.

For instance, certain apps open on SMS sent/receive or call receive/sent...

It's a great way to keep apps that you never use/need from starting.

I find that this app is still applicable compared to Juice Defender and SetCPU as these newer phones seem to handle that well.

Anyone else find the same?

Thanks for the feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Why not just get root explorer and delete them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Try it... A lot of them are processes that cannot be deleted.

Besides...

It isn't about deleting apps.

It's about controlling when an app will start (or when it's triggered to start) based off actions.

Why do I need app x,y, z starting when i send a text message? Answer... I don't...

From the market:

Keep control over your phone: See what applications do behind your back.

Shows you what apps run on phone startup, and what other events trigger in the background. Root users can disable unwanted autostarts and speed up their phone boot.

Note: Root-Access *is* required to make changes. Otherwise, this application will be read-only.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Titanium back up and just freeze them, but I did use ths app and it did make bit up time faster on my evo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Let me rephrase as I'm not making my point (sorry!!).

Google Maps will start at bootup... also when you change connectivity on your device.

I only want Maps open when I open it...

This app lets you prevent things from opening based off certain events (boot up, outgoing sms, incoming call, connectivity change, etc).

So freezing or deleting would remove the app that you might otherwise want.

Hope that makes sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Oh i see yes that is true some apps will come on as soon as connectivity changes, If find good settings post some screen shot and i will do the same
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
This is a VERY handy app. thanks loads. this is definitely a function that android should incorporate stock like they did with task killer

i was deleting the music from the sd card using the computer. so the music app would hang when trying to play.

so i restored all the folders manually in the audio songs folder and it started working again but it started downloading all the region specific songs and videos again over wifi

i think i need to delete all the songs from inside the music app of the phone to delete them permanently.

i hope they wont come back.

These are themes for One More Clock (free on market).

To use:

1. Install One More Clock from the market (or from attached apk). There is both a free and a paid edition - take your pick.

2. Add OMC widget to your homescreen, tap on clock to go to options.

3. Tap "set widget theme", let the catalog load and choose Ice Lock or Ice Roboto.

If you're using ADW or LauncherPro, a simple widget resize will solve the "move more to the right" problem. I am using a 5x6 homescreen, so my widget designs might be off.

And on a side note can I now shove in openvpn modules and use openvpn?
