If yall want these files i find that its best if you jus push the files instead... The META-INF folder goes no where thats just for the flash...

I don't think that the kind of lag we experience can be attributed to the snapdragon processor. The Mali-400 is better than what we have but our adreno 220 is still pretty damn good and can even compete with the supercharged SGX540 in the Galaxy Nexus.

Coming from a clearly inferior Droid X2 with the Tegra I can tell you that that phone didn't lag at all while using launcher pro or adw. Even the first generation Galaxy phones were perfectly smooth in that regard. I think there is some other problem, maybe with the driver or memory management.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Lagging for a number of reasons one a bunch of ciq stuff running in the background which just slows down the processor. The stock rom isn't optimized most likely the problem flash one of the developers rom. Which include various bug fixes. Kernel isn't the best we can be using. Again flash another kernel from developer. Software manufactures usually only do enough to make sure there are mostly no bugs etc. They don't care about how good we can make this phone etc. Since they have most likely other devices to work on.

Obviously if developers can make a single core run sense 3.0 and it will not lag and get good battery life. It is most likely do to software programming. Samsung could of went with anyone processor besides their own and still not make this phone lag if they truly wanted to. It is way easier to put a more powerful gpu and cpu in and work on it. Then to optimize software around a weaker cpu and gpu. Look at webOs and all the palm pre the software was much better than the hardware.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raptor5k:
So the rumor is no SD card slot on this baby? I'm wondering how much it will matter? I am not too worried about room. I will just buy the biggest one available in terms of internal storage and be covered there. I'm more worried about development. I have rooted and installed custom Roms on my current Samsung Continuum, thanks to the good folks on this forum, and every method involves flashing the rom from the SD card. How will this be different without one? Is installing custom roms/themes, etc more difficult? I've never owned a Nexus S or any other phone that didn't have the SD card, so I am not sure how that works. T
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Its not a rumor. And flashing from internal memory should not be a problem.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Yeah they do it from the touchpad for cyanogen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
It matters to some people. Doesn't matter to me. Never filled up my 16gb. NAND memory is way faster than sd cards.

It won't matter to flashing roms.

It will shipped partitioned like the Nexus S. Nexus S has no issues with it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
The internal memory is partitioned I have the nexus s on the box it says 16gb( I know with all my hard drives on all OS that you never get full capacity)

They partition it off and whats left over is then made to look like the SD card for android's storage purposes. You will not miss a thing when it comes to flashing roms and such, since the storage part still mounts the same way.

I rarely need the storage but those one the fence dontgforget about google music(and other services) that will backup your music to teh marvelous cloud and let you stream and even download for offline play to your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
That's exactly the error i made when purchased the old Nexus S

I was also a PRO preacher of cloud storage (combined i have aprox 70+ GB of free cloud storage among different services), until reality hit me in the back

all those space was useless the moment you lose reception with 3G or WiFi

basically if you are in a subway, or your work place is several walls away, don't expect to get a new batch of streaming music or whatever important file you needed to pull from the cloud.

the 14 GB space you get in the phone is no where near enough for anything, after install apps, and few good games, and couple of nandroid backups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
The sgs2 has 11.5gb free space so im sure the gs will have the same, and your right this isn't enough especially with backups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
There will be a 32GB model, so there shouldn't be an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
I was really looking forward to this phone but the lack of sd card support just ruined it for me. It's not just the principle of it (charge 50-100 bucks more for a bigger ram chip that cost maybe $5) but I for one take advantage of having a swappable sd card.

It can especially come in handy on a phone that is soft-bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdf3:
I'm OK without one. I had two different SDcards from different manufacturers fail on me, causing me to loose my files.

I have not run into that issue using the internal memory in my phone.

My tablet does not have an SDcard, so I've adjusted quite well without one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] borgey:
I don't understand why people say having no sdcard is a deal breaker. It's the same damn thing. Big deal you can't swap out cards, all you have to do is mount usb mass storage then ZOMG you can change your data. People will complain about anything no matter what device comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdf3:
I agree. I think it may still sell well without one. The iPhone doesn't have one, and they sell that phone by the millions.

As long as I can use a file manager, store any type of file type on it, and install custom ROMs if i so choose, then I'm good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i can understand how it can be a deal breaker. people who flash daily would rather use an expendable sd card whose write cycles are limited. and some people do have to move data frequently but i'm sure those have figured out how to do it wirelessly. and then you have your secret agents where being discrete with the passing of information is crucial. kinda serious with that. and then you have the peeps who just have to have their entire collection of music on them because the phones these days do more than double duty. i need to go through my phone again, but right now i'm using about 16gigs of data. approximately 10 gigs is music. then some books. a couple of backups. sync'ed data. maybe 1 gig of pictures. and videos can require lots of data and having a 32gig or 64gig sd can be a tremendous help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Falkner09:
why no Micro SD?

yeah, I'm sure other have posted this, so what. anyway, why would they not put one in to the Nexus phones? removable memory is an excellent feature to have, and can't be that expensive to add a reader if EVERY phone but the iPhone and Nexus has them. it's a total dealbreaker for me and many others.

the real problem is, if Google just made a little more effort to make the Nexus phones competitive by giving it this basic feature, more people would get them, and then there would be more pressure for OEMs to stop filling phones with bloat and their crappy unstable hacks (Sense, touchwiz etc.) that are dragging Google's platform down with fragmentation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
This question has been asked many times and I guess we'll never know for sure but it is Google who's ideology is to keep people online as much as they can. It makes sense to limit local storage and push people towards using cloud storage, particularly with the launch of Google Music where you can store all your music with Google anyway (which would free up a lot of space). Its a great idea, too bad 90% of us have capped data plans and streaming is not possible (unless carriers make it unmetered)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maroon Mushroom:
Keep in mind. We have a 32gb model available. With everything going to the cloud, I know that I rely much less on physical storage. Especially with Google Music. (I keep about 1k of my 4.5k songs locally on my phone)

The only thing I would need storage for would be apps, pictures, and a few movies. More than enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
May be they rely on the USB Host mass storage feature.

developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/index.html

Hopefully, the Galaxy Nexus will support the USB devices listed on this page:

developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/usb/UsbConstants.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
I think it has to do with memory speed and performance. Removable memory is great, but personally in a smartphone I don't see the need. Once I activate a phone I never remove the SD card. If I need to xfer a bunch of files to or from my PC, I'll hook it up via USB.

How many of you remove your card on a regular basis to put in a different device? I guess its those people that would benefit from a removable card.

The rest of us should be happy with the extra speed and performance from using onboard memory.

Oh and 32gb is the limit on the microSD cards anyway so I don't see the problem of "limited" space on one's device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisn0123:
I'm annoyed there isnt any microSD slot! But I have been surviving with an 8gb microsd for years now and only use 2-3gb max..so I'll survive without it I guess.

Good thing is that the built in storage will be much quicker to save on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianm:
Same here, my 8GB microSD has 2-3GB free and a fair chunk of it is for backups from messing with ROMS and Titanium backups, in addition to the usual app data, music, photos and videos.

Given it looks like for some odd reason we may only be getting the 16GB version in the UK, I think I'll be fine with the 16GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
I don't understand why they didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
I do know for a fact if it only comes in 16gb in the US, I wont get it. I'm on a dieing ogDroid and need a phone badly so I'm hoping for a 32gb version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
LOL. That expression on the face says everything!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
hahahahahaha i loved the "y u no include sd card" :D thumbs up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Seems yall forget the other Samsung Nexus didn't have one either... O_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaxick:
I've been using a Palm Pre Plus for so long now I honestly could care less if a phone has a storage card slot. 32gb is plenty for a phone. I have never once used up all 16gb on my Palm Pre Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Profits probably, they can add 16 more GB for probably a few bucks more and then charge 50-100 extra for it. Having a removable sd card is a huge advantage in my book and especially on a development phone it makes no sense not to have one. The Palm Pre is another one that I really liked but refused to buy because it lacked an sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Yes this is the biggest issue I have. I can understand why some people may not need it but if you're anything like me then you can't have enough storage, I like to put movies, music, games, emulator roms etc onto my SD card.

May consider getting the galaxy note instead or just wait until the galaxy 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
Thanks for that. Do you have any evidence that we will be able to mount usb storage? I have been looking but as yet no confirmation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fehk:
Pretty blatant push by Google for their music service, as there's no other real reason not to include one. It's idiotic since as has been mentioned before most people have metered plans.

It's also silly to say things like it's slow, most people don't need one, etc... it's a really cheap feature to add that detracts nothing from the phone by being there.

Really wanted this phone, but every time i'll want to listen to a song i'll think "can i afford this?"

No thanks, will wait for something else, hopefully enough people will too that Google gets the message and stops trying to be Apple Lite
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
my conspiracy theory suggest, Google wants to force people to use Cloud services, and use their Online Music store for your music fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I was shocked by no-SD card slot too. Then I thought: I would simply put my 16GB card in and never took it out while using the phone, so in the end it doesn't matter to me at all.

It would matter a little IF the slot was on a side of the phone, accessible without turning the phone off (like it was on, I think, HTC Touch Pro2, or other phone I had).

So for example my Galaxy S II - I never removed the card after I put it in. That proves I don't really need the slot.

What I don't like is to pay more for more storage, because we usually pay much more than cost of the storage card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
all phones can mount as usb storage

drop down, click ok

must be plugged in first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
How so? There will be a 16 and 32gb version. U using a 64gb card now? Don't get me wrong, I would prefer a card slot, but I won't run out of space. Haven't with my current card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
The thing is though not everybodys usage is the same. I had about 17 gigs filled between my ext/int memory and i cleaned some this weekend and could clean a little bit of music, but im at 15.x gig s right now. And google is obviously pushing this galaxy nexus as a media powerhouse, buts theres no powerhouse to it if you cant store it anywhere. On top of that, 1080p video is memory intensive, so what if i want to play spy or the next door neighbors go skinny dipping and i only have 1 gig left on my memory card? Being that this is flash memory its a good idea for your memory card to have approximately 10% empty space so it can work its magic and transfer at a peak speed also. Chances are if google doesnt sell the 32 gig gsm version i might seriously consider jumping ship. Its frustrating how google plays the open source pioneer but we're just now getting hw acceleration and we control how much memory you should need on your phone. Bah! Humbug!.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kanalcommander:
I'm not amused about missing sd-slot too.

Also I heard often enough there is this cloud and that cloud...

Using cloud causes traffic, and traffic costs money. My 16gb SD was 20€ and I have it.

I have a 1gig data for 10€ and use normally about 800mb per month. So there is really little rest to use for cloud crap. Ok I could change for a 5gb package but that would cost about 25€/month in sum 180€ per year. And that just because of missing SD slot?

Some will say so buy 32gb version but wait in Germany it will not be sold.

And even if it were available for Germany it would cost 100€ extra, my SD card wouldn't cost a single euro cause its paid long ago.

I think the missing SD-slot is just to sell an extra 16gb internal memory witch costs the manufacturer 15$ for 100€ to the customer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
How is 32GB's of storage not room to store media?

I'd really like to see what some of you guys are storing on your phones. I'm mind-boggled. I have hundreds of MP3's, more music than I can listen to in several days (and I'm someone that travels all the time). I have a ludicrous amount of nandroids and cm7 nightlies and I can't fill up 16 gigs. I get movies. I used to watch movies on my Vibrant when it was new. When I was done with them, I did this thing called delete them off and move some fresh ones over. ;) Even HD movies were rarely more than 1.5 gigs. Usually they were in the 400MB range.

I mean, everyone backs their data up, right? I know I do. Since everything that has ever been on my Android is backed up at least once for redundancy, where's the problem in moving 10 gigs of stuff off of my phone that I'm not going to use and trading it out for 10 gigs of stuff I am? What the heck are people doing with their phones? Do people not work, or go to school or stay away from their PC for 2 weeks at a time? Are people glued to their phone 24/7? No wonder everyone whines about bad battery life. :eek: ;)

Are people planning on recording their kid's entire dance recital in 1080p on their phone? I don't get it. Someone explain.

I also don't see where Google has advertised the Galaxy Nexus as a "media powerhouse". It's advertised as an ICS powerhouse and as a /dev phone. I really don't get why so many people want it in the first place. It really sounds like most people complaining would be happier with a TouchWiz/Sense/Motoblur offering from someone else.

When phones don't have features I want, I don't complain about the phone. I just go and buy the one that does what I want it to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
IMO it comes down to how big is your music/movie collection you wish to carry...will you regularly off load ids you record ?

I have about 20 gigs in pics but they are in picasa so theres SOME semblance of it being ok without storage. My music collection is 5 gigs. I do regularly off load vids I record.

I would much prefer an micro SD card so I can have 32 or 64 gigs of storage and be able to carry all these media files without need for the cloud and connectivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] russ18uk:
Again, everyone's usage is different. I don't want to use my PC to transfer music I feel like listening to that day then do the same later on with movies ad infinitum because I can't change my storage needs as my needs for more storage change.

Why can't you have most of your music collection on you're media-touted phone? Should I have to convert all my files to 128Kb?

It's a pain in the arse having to convert my videos down to low resolution because my Ace struggles. That's why I was looking forward to this phone.

Waited for sweet FA. Why should there be pathetic compromises over a flagship phone? Yeah I can understand some minor allowances because you don't want to piss off your OEMs by having a Swiss army knife phone which makes every other Android a waste of time to manufacture. Adding an sd slot is hardly going to change design drastically.

No buy from me. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
That's exactly my thoughts , a 32 gb sdcard costs 38 $ , the 32 gb galaxy nexus will be at least extra 100 $ , if we would have got an sd slot , we could have the 16 gb galaxy nexus + a 32 gb sd card and it would still be cheaper than the 32 gb galaxy nexus :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I have a few gigs of music on my phone. I could probably drop a couple but i can easily replace the rest. I actually listen to most of my music and i also have stuff that other people might like and im tolerant of but dont listen to. I actually want to record videos sometimes on my phone but video quality hasnt been worth it. The atrix is ok, but i know better can be had. And yes media has been a feature of this phone ti gas a special decoder chip on the soc for better efficiency and formats. I think neon is also feature

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Apples and Oranges. MicroSD doesn't compare to on board, pure NAND storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ewok666:
Well said. Anyone who says otherwise ist just trying to justify a stupid decision by Google. An SD card slot is cheap. So what if it's slower than the internal flash?!?! If you take 8MP pics, record 1080P video and have a eupropean GPS map and music on the phone then 16GB is just a joke.

The real questions is: What would be the disadvantage of having the SD card slot????

BTW, I cancelled my preorder when I realized the slot was missing. I just didn't think of it and took the sd card for granted on Android phones ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefatalepic:
Not to worry, you'll only be able to take 5MP pics. :D

The nexus isnt just a developers phone. Some of us do want the "pure google android experience" as google likes to call it. Whh the hell do developers need a screen that big? And amoleds at that?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Yeah I have to agree with that sentiment. It's definitely not just a developer phone these days. Developer/enthusiast maybe, but a lot of ics seems aimed at making stock android nicer for average users too, so maybe not even that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Basically, people just have to manage everything in a new way, especially videos and pictures. You aren't using them, or doubt you will, upload to the computer, to clear up some space. Simple process. And since the battery of high-end phones is always dying after a day, you'll probably be plugging it quite often to the PC.

In my opinion, 16 or 32, both are enough for me, really. I'm not much of a media guy. I don't really carry tons of music, and I don't take that many photos or record that much video. I might do that a few times, as I may not. Fate decides.

More the merrier of course! But the ~100<insert currency here> difference probably will leave me with 16GB.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Has been stated before that the NAND memory type is way faster than SD card. Maybe Google just thought that including SD card support would be just redundant.

Also, have you ever, ever, had your phone loading more than 32 GB of information? Or even 16? If you have... 10 GB must be some videos or pictures that you see or watch once a month or something, lol.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

True story. It's like comparing a HDD with a SSD. They're pretty lucky that it's ONLY 100$ of difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
Ahh my bad. What I meant was usb host mode storage. Has anyone seen any confirmation on this? Considering that it will be able to plug in usb controllers for games, it seems that it is possible but you never know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeken:
Yes I have and I am sure many other people have too. My 32gb sd card is almost full. It is filled with music, movies, pictures, games, software, etc. Since the phone is multimedia capable why not use it for that? If the iPhone has the option for 64gb this phone should too.

I'm sure a lot of you are not going to need all that space but keep in mind that there are a lot of people that DO need/want that extra space. Lets not forget this is an Android Phone and not a WP7. How did the exclusion of the SD Card work out for Microsoft's sales? Not so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Well this phone isn't for u or them obviously no?
