Screen looks amazing. Puts the SGS2 to shame big time. Whites and blacks look great. Doesn't look over saturated either. Big plus.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kidserious:
How is the overall speed and responsiveness? And smoothness? Is the hardware acceleration noticeable? Thanks for any info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keltsi95:
Have you done a Quadrant Standard Test?? How are these benchmark tests compared to the GS2??? :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danton47:
What about screen visibility in sunlight? I heard that Super AMOLED Plus in SGS2 is not that good in direct sunlight, unlike Pen Tile Super AMOLEDs. Now, given GN has the "old" Super AMOLED, is it better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
...

please everyone post these questions on the given links! i'm goint to answer you as fast as possibel! thx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
wouldnt this forum be more helpful with the whole questions thing? i looked thru the whole site and couldnt find any Q&A for any of ur posts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonzlobo:
Is the notification led multicolor or just orange/green? Can the user assign different colors for each type of notification?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] katamari201:
Can you go more in-depth with the color rendering between the two? From what I've seen with the Galaxy Nexus, the phone seems to be less oversaturated and more subdued compared to the SII. Is this true? Can you also compare the whites on webpages and tell me if you think the nexus is less blue compared to the S II? Thanks for sharing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
Please take some low-light/night photos and videos with both the Nexus and SGS2 to see how they compare. Upload the original untouched photos/videos for us to examine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Looks like the pentile screen may have reached an acceptable level. It still has hatching on solid colors over black, as demonstrated in a few other reviews, but otherwise it's looking acceptable to even staunch pentile haters like myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
speed

It's fast as hell and also very responsive and this is only the start cuz there are a few compatibilty bugs with the apps. The final version of the ICS will blow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
Made one quadrant test but the results are incredibly low, i suppose that the app is not optimized for the 4.0!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
It's multicolor! Different colors can't be assigned!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Might need to rephrase that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aviatorarun:
Does it have a noise cancellation mic? What is that small notch on top of the battery cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
If you can break that one big long paragraph into a few smaller paragraphs, that would be much easier to read... Seeing that big chunk of texts makes me want to skip it :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
Yep! it has to be it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
Next time i'm going to do that! ;( i had no time for this article...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
those photos which i have uploaded on the site are ok? in original size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Stupid question: Since it's just super AMOLED and not a plus, it's a giant Nexus S screen with better res, will the black background rule work in spite of the higher resolution? I'd be curious to see you run a battery test with a black background and a light one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
What kind of network are you using this on? LTE or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonzlobo:
Thanks for the review!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
At the moment the battery life is bad the 4.0 drains the battery incredibly fast. Have to wait to the final version... not on LTE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Lmfao! This one made me lol on the train :P when something "blows" it usually means it sucks beyond all reason XD I Got what you meant, but it was still hilarious

Anyways, GJ with the review, i liked it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
Lol THX! :)) i'm not going to use this expression anymore :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Was scared of that... With lte may be real bad. Will wait and see :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
The notch in the top of the battery cover is so you can pry off the back to get at the battery.

I've heard the LTE version is slightly thicker because it packs a larger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexDmi:
@_hyperdude - I think they're talking about the small dot on the right of the hole where you put your finger to pull the cover off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
that made me skip it. Makes a world of difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Ah, I seem to have missed that before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
just curious this worked on the SGS2 as a test for bad pixels

put your phone in Testing Mode: *#0*# in the dialer and see if you have bad pixels

just wanted to see if it works on this phone also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
Is it me or does the GNex's backing change the way it looks when you shrink and zoom the picture? (upon zoom ,it looks normal.. its a weird thing)

http://samsungmobilers.ro/UserFiles/Image/Szabi/IMG_6821.JPG

Open this in a new tab in your browser(for firefox and presumably chrome) and resize the window.. You'll see what I mean o.O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
If you look closer there's a tiny hole near the space from which you pop out the back cover!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
IIRC this won't work on any Nexus phone because this codes are coming from Touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexDmi:
http://www.askvg.com/google-android-hidden-secret-codes/

From these codes, only the first will run, the rest won't. Didn't try the reset ones, though :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
It's not working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
AlexDmi stay away from resets! even from Factory Reset! :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
How about the interoperability with external USB devices (USB gamepad, USB DAC amp ...)?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
How about some better text comparisons to show the PenTile or lack of its fuzziness. Maybe small black and white text webpage between the 2 phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedonsza:
I'm going to do that! btw i haven't tried the USB stuff yet, unfortunately I haven''t got a cable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
Please show some close-up pictures of the screen while it's displaying green or red text on a white background. This will be the true test of whether or not the high resolution can outweigh the weaknesses of Pentile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
I meant photos taken with the Nexus camera. I want to see how good the camera really is in low light :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Look at this. Its the same panel as the Galaxy Nexus.

http://www.androidcentral.com/close-and-personal-hd-super-amoled

I think it will put to rest most feelings about the "bad" pentile screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvlt:
itd be amazing if you could post a picture or video of the notification light in action.. Its surprisingly a big deal for me haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
Does it come with syncing software
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richmelchr:
How does the screen feel?

Do you ever have to clean it?

I have a Droid X right now and the screen feels terrible, always like my fingers are super dirty and sticky, im always cleaning my screen. The Droid Bionic has a super smooth screen like your gliding your fingers over butter. I haven't felt any other phones because everyone has screen protectors. how does the Galaxy Nexus feel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, lol. Its an Android phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I think we have have been over this ! How do you get movies transfered to the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
By using the USB cable, plugging it into the computer, enabling USB mounting on the phone, then just using your computer's file explorer (Windows Explorer, Finder, Nautilus, etc) to put the file onto the phone's memory. No 'syncing software' required lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Plug it into your computer, drag+drop the files on the phone's storage, disconnect the phone. You're done!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Like you would on a thumb drive. Enough said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Does the dialer finally have smart dial or is it useless like previous builds?

I have having a phone where the first thing I have to do is replace the dialer. Luckily its an option.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sensor32:
Does it still have the plug in the top?

CM 7 Epic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Plug huh???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
No! Simple Google search will show you pictures of the device ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gordonson:
Lol @ these last two questions. Plug location and syncing software? Must be coming from iPhones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gordonson:
Or access to Google.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
Hopefully, you will get very soon a USB cable for testing the interoperability of the Galaxy Nexus and external USB devices like USB DAC/amp, USB gamepad ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htc6500uk:
I prefer the Note which is awesome even without ICS which I'm sure it will get in due course. I prefer the larger size, the card slot, better battery and the stylus features. Would like a comparison on your site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I hope you arent expecting a self cleaning screen. That would probably be the pornography viewer's dream screen.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Haha we can have dreams right? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Uh, no. And quit looking my 4" screen creepy guy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
I already posted this in another thread, but here's something about the battery life if anyone is interested:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
How are the photos? When put on to your computer do they require little or no corrections? White balance, low light situation, saturation, flash, anything odd noticed? My Incredible has always oversatured blues for instance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veper:
@qwer23: actually it's 5 hours on battery, of which screen-on time was 54%. That means approx. 5,5 hours of screen time until battery is empty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
In Android you can get the actual time the screen has been on by clicking on Screen/Display in Battery Usage menu. On my own current phone, I've been on battery for 3 hours, Display has taken 69% of my battery use, but has actually been on just 32 minutes. Other applications are measured by the total time they have used processing power (that is, the time they have engaged the processor in the phone).

Screen is the most battery-intensive thing about the phone and will always take the majority of battery use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viper_79:
The conclusion the poster came to after looking at the screenshot is way way way off what it actually is.

What concerns me though is the amount of battery consumed by 'AndroidOS'. I can't remember if it was on my Sensation or GS2 but I just couldn't put up with those crazy numbers.

On my HD2 the amount of battery consumed is usually 3%-4% max and is on the bottom of the list. On one or both the other phones it used be on the second spot consistently, that too with identical use and customizations as I have on the HD2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viper_79:
This is what my battery graph looks like right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
i was thinking of the note as first choice but something brought me to the nexus probably the price $$$
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I pre ordered my nexus today I'm just curious as to which version of Google music comes with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I had the SG2 and that sucked up battery and i expect no less with this nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
Battery life

Regarding the battery graph interpretation:

You see the blue line under the graph? It means that the phone was "active" the whole time and never went in deep sleep. This, compared with the fact that the screen used up 54% of the juice should give an idea about screen-on time ;)

And damn, I shouldn't have to post this in two different threads all the time. Maybe I start a thread later ;)

The Galaxy Note "Real-user" Review from AndroidNZ:

"As an aside there was a question from one reader about whether USB DAC's could be used via the USB OTG fnctionality of the Note in order to bypass the Yamaha DAC.

Sadly, but not unexpectedly, the USB DAC did not work. I checked on the ASUS Transformer also, hoping that the Honeycomb native USB device support would work, but sadly came up empty there too. That doesn't bode particularly well for Ice Cream Sandwich supporting these devices either, so audiophiles will have to give up on that as a workaround for the present time (and keep hoping some talented dev at XDA can sort this out for us... Supercurio, you out there?) As an aside I tried it in my laptop and desktop PC's and was blown away by the increase in sound quality with the HiFiMAN Express, so if you're not an audiophile but in the market for better sound out of your computers without haemorrhaging cash check it out. It's available here, and here is a true audiophiles review of the product."

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/galaxy-note-real-user-review-part-2.html

Hopefully, things will be different with the Galaxy Nexus under Android 4.0 ICS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry I don't mean to sound persistant, I did ask a question and I think it may of been overlocked. Its nothing huge but I was just wondering if you may be able to tell us which version of the Google music beta app you received on your one? I know this might be different come official launch date I'm just curious. Iv been recently converted to this player and find it beautiful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexDmi:
Let me answer that :) It comes with Google Music 4.0.1.501
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks, really can't wait for mine to arrive next Thursday and Congrats on going to the Samsung convention ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
is it possible to set different sounds for sms and email? i miss that so much from windows mobile :(

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
what do you mean you miss it? it's been possible as long as i've been with android. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Just change the notification for the SMS in the Messages app settings. That's been possible since at least Android 1.5. Probably earlier too but I never had an Android device before that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dazzla:
How do regular apps from the market look at this resolution? Is there any crap scaling? Or do they adapt to the screen nicely?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plisk3n:
someone needs to answer this!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
There's a video preview floating around here and the guy is outside doing it. It looks good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Well, first of all, the screen *IS* a Pentile matrix screen.

Secondly, it looks fine in direct sunlight. There have been multiple videos showing it.

Thirdly, who says the GSII looks bad in sunlight? I have one and on the walk from my car to work every morning and night the sun is directly in my reflection on the phone. I still have no trouble reading it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wobbu:

I'm currently using Gingerlol 1.5.

But this is no longer developed.

Now I'm looking for an

active

,

stable

2.3.x mod

without any bugs

.

It should have low battery drain and I don't care very much about gaming performance.

When I browse the dev subforum I find either outdated mods or mods

which have serious bugs (like no fm-radio, broken cam/video, blackscreen bug, battery drain, etc).

Did I overlook something or are my wishes currently just not possible?

Any recommendations?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jukkz:
Check this thread

I'm using mik_os' CyanogenMod 7 port and it's workin well
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Rores:
The best rom for gaming is Blackbird RC2

mik-os rom still has a bit of lag, noticible in nfs shift, but blackbird has new kernel with no lag AT ALL
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Use AGA Rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
did you even read the first post? the OP says he doesnt care much for gaming performance and does not want any bugs. blackbird has the following bugs: broken zoom, cannot recognize contacts on sim card, no autofocus

@sirob71, i also recommend miks cm7 port (specifically 6.5.8 which is more stable than 6.6.1)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Maybe he wants a stock GB based rom...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lycan:
Use OpenOptimus build 2.xxx by ciaox and with it use francos GB kernels or paulos vtouch kernel.

Amazing battery life and less cpu drain.

If ur looking for something in the intermediate i suggest going for phoenix/void/mik's cm7/aosp ROMs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
CyanogenMod has many technical features that other roms lack, but I must admit that the CyanogenMod Settings menu is very useful. There are multiple kernels which make the ROM completely stable. I'd also recommend a few tweaks (I've uploaded a flashable zip as well as a fixed zip GPS fix installer (version 3.0) that should now work on any recovery). Please note that the tweaks mount /system as rw on boot.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cr157y:
What you want is the good old void forever + fserve kernel

With those 2 you get the battery life with good performance as well, and you only have what you need in your room without all the crap people put in their custom rooms.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sirob71:
Seems that oxygen 2.3.7 port is what I'm looking for.

Will give it a try!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
A while ago, someone here said he had called Synaptics and verfified that the digitizer in our Minis (Only Mini, not Mini Pro) did in fact support dualtouch and not singletouhc only as some did believe.

What is to be done about that? I mean, if Synaptics themselves verified the support of dualtouch, then it can't be fake?

EDIT: I was talking about this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1283495

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
...or you would never be able to go back to "normal" smartphones!!!! :p

Seriously now: I am old enough to remember a world without cell phones so I have seen them appear, take hold and change our life. I have been an user almost from the beginning.

My cell phone "history" is: Motorola can't-remember-its-name, Ericsson T-10s, Ericsson T39m, Sony-Ericsson P800, HP iPaq rw6815, Samsung Omnia i9000, Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Samsung Galaxy SII, Samsung Galaxy Note.

I have never bought any one of them for any other reason than I thought them to be the overall best of their time, I am a very heavy poweruser, I DO use the FULL spectrum of the capabilities of these smartphones.

The Note? It's the smartphone I have always wanted, the one I was forever waiting for, the one I would have designed for myself.

I realize it's a niche phone but I do hope its is a niche that's gonna take hold and stay because I can't see myself EVER going back to "normal" smartphones.

Yes, I am that happy with the Note.

I will add to the thread as I keep on using it, meanwhile feel free to ask anything.

Some other background infos so you know where I am coming from: besides the ones listed above I have seen/tested many many other ones from friends/relatives/stores between and before purchases. I have also some background in IT.

I am from Italy and bought the phone from Germany.
