[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthro:
Many of us are probably due to replacing the N1. It's turning 2 years old, people love buying phones this season, and ICS-friendliness could be a factor.

The Galaxy Nexus is the default choice for many N1 owners, but the latest Nexus doesn't feel like the Nexus One before (a no brainer choice).

I mean, here are some advantages of the Galaxy S II over GNex:

Possible big price and availability advantage

Full RGB vs. Pentile

microSD card

more hand- and pocket-friendly dimensions and weight

8mp + 2mp vs. 5mp + 1.2mp cameras

ARM Mali-400 MP vs. PowerVR SGX540

Gorilla Glass vs. "Fortified Glass"

Due to current huge market share, GS2 has many available accessories and strong support (despite being new, they have almost as many threads in their xda subforum as what we have here for N1)

It gets more complicated. The GS2 may be an easy choice for some, but having hardware buttons can be a deal breaker. Having those physical buttons can make the device inferior/obsolete. Are the buttons that big of a deal?

Thoughts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OJ in Compton:
Surprisingly, it seems that the galaxy nexus's screen will render text better than the GS2 even with its pentile disadvantage, so I wouldn't consider that a negative. Obviously we'll have to see when the phones are in people's hands though.

I'm going with a galaxy nexus, mainly because google remembered one of the most important things from the N1-the trackball notification light. It's on the same place on the galaxy nexus as it was on the N1, though it's obviously missing the trackball :p

To be honest, all of my gripes with the nexus S were fixed with this-no more cheap plastic back, *hopefully* decent camera and video drivers, HDMI output, storage space (only somewhat though-no SD isn't ideal but 32gb is the max this would hold anyway), and a notification light. I couldn't care less about the processor and gpu being weaker so long as it delivers a consistent and smooth experience.

And one more benefit to using a phone that doesn't have a strong market share-you won't be using the same phone as everyone else ;)

Also, buttons aren't making your device obsolete if you pick a GS2. I'm playing around with the SDK port on my N1 and the only difference with the new setup on buttonless 4.0 devices is that long-pressing home has turned into its own button, the menu button is now an on-screen button (represented by a vertical ...) that appears on one of the action bars, and the search button has disappeared. On devices with buttons, the ... button in an app disappears and is toggled by the traditional menu button, and long-pressing home will bring up the recent apps. This is the best they could do without fragmenting legacy devices.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuna:
I've got the N1 and I'm on TMo. I can't stress enough how aggravated I am that Verizon gets the Galaxy Nexus first! The TMo version BETTER be right behind it, as far as release date!

Here's my Win/Lose breakdown of The Galaxy Nexus vs. the Galaxy S II

* (GSII Win) Going with the OMAP4460 on the GN was a total 'WTF' for me. Almost a deal breaker.

* (GN Win) With a 4.5" screen, the GSII has only 800x480 rez!! That's the same rez as my N1 now with only a 3.7" screen! Not even a kick-up to 960x540! Unfortunately this is a deal-breaker for me.

* (GN Win) Though the Galaxy Nexus has a lower megapixel rating, it's got the zero-lag shutter and supposedly better low-light capability. As well, it shoots full 1080p/30fps.

* (GN Win) The GN being Pentile screen becomes a moot point when you factor in the 1280x720 at whatever ridiculously high dpi.

* (GN Win) I agree with OJ, having the LED back is great!

* (GN Win) It's got the NFC Chip. I just recently read that NJTransit is going to be supporting Google Wallet at a bunch of stations and buses. This is great for me.

* (GN Win) it's got a Barometer chip! A Google Dev cleared up the reasoning behind the baromter...Faster and more accurate GPS lock!

* (GN Win) It's got ICS pre-loaded and it's a Google phone. So it's got the new OS and it'll be the first to get all the updates/fixes.

The Galaxy Nexus is top of my (very short) list as far as choices for my next phone, but because they pulled back the reins on the CPU and are coming out on VZW first...I'll be keeping my eyes open for what all comes out on the market while I wait for a TMo version.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OJ in Compton:
If you look at the press release for the Verizon GN and the Droid RAZR, you'll notice that the RAZR's press release uses the word "verizon exclusive" multiple times and the nexus's press release has no mention of the word "exclusive" anywhere. Don't get your hopes down until they announce actual, final availability.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
****, of all the stuff ive seen, i missed that. Its a done deal now for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidmotion:
Galaxy Nexus, because it's a Nexus.

Simple, isn't it?

One big advantage is in my opinion is "fastboot oem (un)lock", ok other vendors also offer this unlock but not the re-lock :)

And I love that Screen (actual ppi is higher than SGS2)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Only a small small small minority of Nexus One users can successfully fastboot-oem-lock. In fact if you wish to take your phone back for warranty repair, one of the phones with a one click root is a far better option.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
I think the camera is a let down for me I was hoping samsung pushed a new lens for better quality pictures. Also the non gorilla glass might suck if you dont take care of the device built quality looks to be the same as the GSII.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHez0or:
hey all,

Does anyone know why my Xperia Arc's Battery use says its always 'Awake'?

It seems to be chewing through my battery rather quickly recently. After 6 hours of very little use im down to 60% battery.

The only running processes are:

Settings (open to see battery use)

Facebook

3D Flip Clock

BatteryLife

DSP Manager

ROM Manager

Google Services

Android Keyboard

Ive heard there is an issue with the battery stats screen showing incorrect values for each process' drain percentage, my phone says Maps is using 70% and Cell standby only 10%.

Im trying right now with 3D Flip Clock not running to see if thats the issue.

[HTC Sensation] Beastlykidd:
I am a noob when it comes to anything other than flashing ROMs. I need help on flashing a new radio..? i have the Revolution HD Rom.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
Just put the file on the root of your sd, without changing the file name. Reboot into boot loader instead of recovery. It will check for updates, find the file, and offer to update. Say yes. That's it : )

Make sure its the proper radio for your region, and that you really need to flash it first. Best way to a brick is to play with the radio
[HTC Sensation] Beastlykidd:
I dont see the root folder? ive seen it before, i know it.. i simply searched root on my computer and it brought up com.rootmetrics and rootmetrics... thats all
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
Root of the sd card. So if the sd card is seen as drive "f" on your pc, then the root would be F/: as opposed to f/downloads or something. The main directory of the memory card not in any sub directories. Which is the same place you put any files that you mean to flash. What's the purpose again? This probably isn't necessary and could end badly
[HTC Sensation] Beastlykidd:
I just want to put the radio that the Rom page recommended...
[HTC Sensation] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
download the recopmmended radio from the android revolution page. unrar it to your dessktop. when u open the now unpacked folder, it has a read me. read it. and it wioll tell u every command u need to use and when to use it. its super ez if u actually stop and read the instructions
[HTC Sensation] wifesabitch:
I'm trying to do the same thing as OP. I want to use the radio that mike1986 recommends in his thread.

I followed the instructions and this error message came up in the command prompt.

I've tried searching the forums and doing a Google advanced search, so far nothing is helping. :(
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
What radio do you have? And did you fully s off and super cid your device? Boot into bootloader, what does it say on the top two lines
[HTC Sensation] wifesabitch:
RADIO-10.12.9007.21_2M

I followed this guide to S-off. I didn't SuperCID, read it wasn't really necessary.

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.17.0011

That's is Right stop what you are doing and go back and read all directions and and dont take any shortcuts and everything will fall right it to place meaning no hang up's
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Don't waste your time with pushing via adb. I flashed a radio and matching ril for the first time ever today and it went without a hitch. Here's what I did:

1) Decided which radio and ril I would need. I used Terminal Emulator to find out which ril i had, and then after I found out I didn't have the right one for the radio I was going to flash I went to the ril thread.

2) Downloaded the PG58IMG file for the radio I wanted, and I also downloaded the RIL (just a normal ZIP) at the same time.

3) Installed a Md5sum checker (WinMd5Sum Portable) and used that program to check the Md5sum of the radio file I downloaded. It was all clear.

4) Connected Sensation via USB to computer and placed the radio and ril files on the root of the SD card (the root is not a sub-directory; it's essentially the main section that you see when you first open up your SD card).

5) Went into the bootloader. PG58IMG file for the radio automatically asks if you want to update and you select yes. Phone reboots afterwards.

6) After the reboot, go back into the bootloader and flash the ril zip. Now you can reboot and you'll have matching radio and ril.

This process is exactly like flashing a ROM. The main thing to note is that you HAVE TO check the Md5sum absolutely. Install a Md5sum checker like the one I did to make absolutely sure that you properly downloaded the radio. From what I've read, flashing radios like this is safe so long as Md5sums check clear; I had no problems myself doing this method.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
Also there is a free app to check md5 on the phone called AFV, works great and no PC needed.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

Try it the above method (that I mentioned earlier in the thread)
[HTC Sensation] wifesabitch:
Okay, just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

In the Revolution HD thread it says:

So I don't have to worry about flashing the RIL files I take it, just get the radio there.

Now do I just change the file name from 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 to PG58IMG.zip and flash that?

Also, I don't really understand Md5sum check part. I downloaded MD5 Checker from the market, I load the file and the Md5 Checksum spits out a long series of letters and numbers. Don't really know what to do with that. How do I know if it's all clear?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
That long sequence of numbers and letters is a checksum of the file you checked. Just see if it's the same as the original file, assuming the MD5 sum is listed. This ensures that the downloaded file IS NOT corrupt. If it is == Big problems.

TBH I only usually check the last 5 or 6 digits, taking a risk but highly unlikely to be wrong.

Get one on your PC as well, the're enough MD5 free utils out there.

It's basically a paranoia check, saying there there have been enough folks that screwed things by not checking them.
[HTC Sensation] wifesabitch:
Gotcha,

well, I think I did it correctly, but it says on the bootloader screen that I have radio 10.14.9035.02_2 installed when I put on 10.15.9035.02_2

I downloaded the PG58IMG.zip file from the Radios thread here. Could the links be messed up in that thread?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is a discrepancy between the number of the radio in HBOOT and in settings >about phone>software information>more>baseband version.

The one in settings is the correct one.

Hey guys,

I have been looking at the new versions of the kernel's made by both kholk and faux123. I have been trying to figure out which one is better. I was wondering if anyone has done any tests or knows of any noticeable differences between their kernel's.

If no one has, or if people are interested, would anyone be interested in helping me to do that. I would require at least 2 other people with atrixes willing to run tests (so that people can't say its just my phone). I will also love if people can give me suggestions on tests we can run, both real world and synthetic.

Hello guys I'm using cyanogenmod with a combination of cm tweaks and build.prop tweaks and it's running lightning speedy.

My combination here is:

CM TWEAKS: jit enabled, 16-bit transparency enabled. Disable others.

BUILD.PROP: added line "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150" which is said to increase scrolling performance. Also, changed Dalvik virtual machine heapsize to 12m. Yes, 12m.

Damn fast for me. Share your combination!

I'm the same as you , except without that build.prop tweak and with 32m heapsize
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rhadrio:
Im using these tweaks on my SGA :

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nilzkul:
how to apply 16 bit transperancy? and how it helps to bosst up speed?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
CM tweaks refer to the one in cyanogenmod settings>performance.

Build.prop tweaks, use root explorer and go to system>build.prop, and mount r/w. Then add in the line.

and what about 16 bit transparancy?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:

Supercharge it, ram probably works more efficiently. Use 16 bit transparency!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
You will get force closes and all for apps demanding more memory. But a small heapsize value let you run many apps by restricting the memory footprint of each process. Scroll up and look at the link I posted :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Each processor is unique somehow, and only some can break 900mhz and some can't even get past 844.

I'm on Grif's rom and it has this transparency option and along with the build.prop line scrolling seems much better - I'm a reader and I need that :D

Swap is definitely useful if you multitask real lot and don't like app restarts. But swapping uses CPU time for read and write and costs you your sd card lifespan because of the increased r/w.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys :)

If I overclock using webOS, will it also be useful with the alpha2?
[TouchPad General] Colchiro:
