That's what i had thought before seeing the spec sheet for this phone. Why are they advertising it with if it doesn't have it??

Also i wanted to warn others if this is a must have for some people.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
That's rubbish - this day and age an FM radio should be mandatory - Having second thoughts now. It was advertised with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Not by Google, only by people who didn't research it properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
This day & age should have DAB and DAB+, not FM, FM is a dying platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
In this day and age most people just listen to mp3's or internet Radio like pandora. Would you seriously not buy a phone just coz it didnt have a Radio?

The sites that claim the Nexus has an FM Radio havent done their homework very well and are going off pre-released specs.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
in this day and age, people are used to having everything handed to them on a silver platter and are angry when they dont get what they want....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I dont know how much bulk a DAB chip would add to a phone it would probably make it unfeasable to add it in but you are right it would be cool and much more functional.

I think you'll find FM Radio on the specs list
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indie13:
You guys are missing the point about poorly researched sites. The sites i'm talking about are the sites who are selling it! Misleading people and yes people still do listen to the radio. In the UK we are lucky to have some pretty good FM radio.

May take it back! (i know i will get flammed for that comment!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
at the bottom of that page, you'll also find "Disclaimer. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
i think you'll find it missing

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
So?

Are GSM Arena Google? No.

That puts them in my 'didn't research it properly' category then, doesn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
If I am paying £500 + for a phone & want a Radio fitted - I don't see how thats having everything handed to them on a silver platter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaosjh:
that's not google, that's the "other people"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
I think it's fair to want an expensive gadget to have lots of features...I think we're all just saying don't be disappointed and complain when it doesn't have a feature that wasn't OFFICIALLY ever advertised as being included.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Like I said poor show from google - disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
be disappointed all you want. doesnt change what google and samsung has decided they want in their phone. if you dont like it, suck it up and buy another product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
Can't you listen to most FM radio stations online these days anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
please provide proof where Google / Samsung have advertised FM Radio capability.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I still can't believe you guys use FM. Crap I haven't used it since high school, 15 years ago? Man, even longer for AM. Old I am, obviously you use the headphones for the antenna? Any Mobile, any brand, with it built in offers good reception?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
So what you do then, is buy something that isn't a Galaxy Nexus, or see is CM9 manages to get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indie13:
You yanks arent helping this debate as i get the impress you lot arent into radio as much as people in the UK and Europe are. :-)

Can any other Galaxy Nexus owner confirm if this is an issue for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
I don't know anyone that listens to FM except in their cars. I use TuneIn for music or DAB (purely for the footy).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
Does it really matter if it's an issue to people? It's not included in stock. That's all there is to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RonnieRuff:
Actually INHO in this day and age FM radio is kinda 80s. Really? I prefer Spotify
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abuleen:
is it (no fm radio)?

or (no fm radio app)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sosquidtaste:
This is indeed the question of the hour. Remember that the Nexus One had no FM Radio app, but did indeed have a functional FM radio tuner (antenna? not sure of the terminology) that was enabled by the Cyanogen folks.

On the other hand, the Nexus S had neither app nor functional tuner. Which was a real onion in the ointment for me, personally.

Unfortunately, unless the Spirit FM app (by forumer mikereidis, general thread here, detailed GN FM radio discussion here) somehow works on the GN without any special effort, we're going to have to wait and see if indeed any hardware exists. Although the linked thread doesn't seem to encourage much optimism :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abuleen:
Could someone with a GN test the application for us

[HTC Sensation] philje123:
Thanks for the heads-up on this.

Been looking around for a while for a decent 32GB card and this seems to be the cheapest of it's kind. There are some cheaper ones around but a lower class of 6 or 4.
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Just ordered one too for just under €30, amazing that the prices are dropping so fast!

http://azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/?ID=453820
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
In for the updates.

I currently have a Patriot 32GB Class 10... It's awful. Likely the worst card on the market. I've had so many issues with it. It corrupts easily. It's happened a few times this year. Each time it did it I lost just about everything on the card. (Luckily I use TI Media Sync to back up my card to my FTP server.)

I don't use USB to mount the card as a drive that often. Usually I use Samba or something to wirelessly move files. But the times it has corrupted was when it was either sitting idle or I was watching a video.

I just ordered the ADATA 32GB Class 10 since it's got a lot of good reviews. But I'd like to see how you guys do with this card. I could always sell my ADATA card and buy this one if it turns out to be better.

EDIT:

Never mind. I canceled my order for the ADATA card and just ordered the US version of this one. I like Samsung products. Their SSDs are freaking amazing and their customer support has been really good so far. This one was only $2 more than the ADATA one so it wasn't worth the wasted time to try the ADATA first.

I am waiting for micro sd's to go on sale. Lexar 32gb one on amazon up to $66 ._.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Got the Samsung card today.

First off, it's the first and ONLY large capacity SD card I've put into my laptop that was recognized. My Laptop has recognized all cards 4GB and down, but it didn't recognize either of my 16GB or 32GB cards without asking to reformat them. I don't know why. I wasn't expecting my laptop to recognize this 32GB card. But it did. So that's a BIG plus.

Secondly, I'm using RoboCopy to move over all my stuff from my phone over USB to the new card in the SD slot. There's about 20GBs of crap to send over. Robocopy isn't telling me how fast it's going, but it's taking about 5 seconds to copy over 100 MB, so I put that at > 10MB/s easily. Probably a lot faster. I'll run crystal mark on it as soon as I get done copying my crap over and then I'll do an SD Speed test on my phone.

For the record I've never been able to get the Patriot 32GB card in my phone right now to write faster than 8MB/s (which I honestly believe is due to the phone's limitations, not the cards).

The only reason I'm changing cards at all is because the Patriot keeps corrupting. I've lost so much, thanks to the patriot SD. The one week I turned off Titanium Media Sync is the one week my SD card freaked out. LOL That'll teach me to turn off backup.

Anyway, I'll post up the results from both cards if I have time. :)

FYI, SanDisk's having a black Friday sale. the 32gb micro sdhc is $50 on their site. can't make out what class from the pic on my mobile.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I would have bought SanDisk if I could find a class 10 micro SD, but I couldn't find ANYONE who sold a SanDisk 32GB class 10.

I think that pretty much all 32GB Class 10 MicroSDs are garbage and SanDisk doesn't want to tarnish their name.

On the flip-side, I've found that the Samsung is just as fast on my Sensation as the Patriot, which is fine. I never had a problem with speed. Lets see how long this one lasts, though.

What's so special about Class 10 micro sd cards as compared to lower classes?
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
The class rating referrs to the minimum write speed in mb/s so a class 10 you can write a minimum of 10 mb/s and a class 4 can write at 4 mb/s.

[Galaxy Tab General] biffroy:
Read this article. It mentions other Samsung devices confirmed as getting ICS. Is the "galaxy tab 7" our device, or is it referring to the "plus" version?

http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...rs-in-u-k-will-get-ice-cream-sandwich-update/
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Well, when u go to the link for the 7.0 it takes u to an advertisement for the 7.0 plus, so probably not. But, I'm sure there are some genius and generous devs on here that are going to give it a try!
[Galaxy Tab General] goughymachine:
It hasn't been 'unconfirmed' yet so you never know. .....
[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
Sorry guys, but theres no ICS upgrade forthcoming from official channels. Samsung has confirmed that the entire Tab line, EXCEPT for the original (ours) will be getting the upgrade. Custom builds are likely in development with source code available but there'll be nothing official.
[Galaxy Tab General] omatey:
I think you are right
[Galaxy Tab General] powermatt:
I'm not holding my breath. They made it pretty clear they weren't going to give it a Honeycomb upgrade, why would they do ICS?. After all, they would much rather you buy their new tablets.
[Galaxy Tab General] biffroy:
Shame, thank god for the wonderful devs on here :) Personally, I think Samsung owes it to the people who went out and bought this tab to give us an official upgrade :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Uchikoma:
I highly doubt that Samsung will offer an official upgrade to ICS for the original Tab. However, am I right in thinking that the hardware in the Tab basically matches the SoC and memory configuration in the Nexus S? If so surely that bodes well for the ability of the Tab to eventually run ICS seeing as the Nexus S will receive and official version of ICS.
[Galaxy Tab General] stenc55:
Samsung doesn't even bother to give Gingerbread update for P-1010 and you would like ICS? Get serious. And no devs here bother to do anything for P-1010 also, not even CWM. This line of tabs is forgotten from anybody. If you want ICS buy yourself a proper tablet.
[Galaxy Tab General] bongski55:
here it says "project stopped".
[Galaxy Tab General] Uchikoma:
If you read the thread to the end you'll see that other guys are actively working on it.
[Galaxy Tab General] dfvt:
Samsung just confirm the dual-core phones because they know that ics will work, for single cores like p1000 they will test first.
[Galaxy Tab General] feroxxx:
but angel66 and koxudaxi made a rom alpha1:)
[Galaxy Tab General] jimmypelican:
Hopefully we can get someone to work on a cdma version
[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
Possibly true for other Samsung devices but the P1000 and P1010 (and associated variants) will *not* receive an ICS update. Unfortunately, Samsung confirmed that the newer ones would be the only ones from the Tab line to get ICS.
[Galaxy Tab General] biffroy:
I use a p1000 which DID get the official gingerbread update. I will follow the devs and get ICS for THIS tab. I am sorry your version gets no love!

i second that for cdma... have alpha build on evo would love to see the tablet version running on my cdma sprint tab

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zard:
I'm using the HTC HD7 and was thinking of getting either the HTC Titan or Galaxy Note. Here in Singapore, there are Galaxy Note demos that I could try and I like it, although I found it a bit lagging.

The Titan is still not available here while the Galaxy Note, is supposed to be available tomorrow (18 Nov) but it seems that it will be delayed until 23 or 24 Nov (next week).

If you are a HD7 user like me and had bought the Galaxy Note, please share with me your experiences.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pure-evil:
I have and I am very happy for the most part, android can be laggy sometimes, scrolling through lists sometimes stutters, it's nowhere near as smooth as wp7, also all the web browsers are useless compared to wp7's. Dolphin Browser is the best i've found sofar.

However you won't regret it, it's fantastic looking device that turns heads plus we will soon be getting ice cream sandwich (hopefully
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zard:
Thanks for the assurance. Since HTC Titan is taking their own sweet time to launch in Singapore, I'm going to get the Note. It's arriving tomorrow, and I'm waiting for the contract handset price to be announced tomorrow by Singtel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zard:
Bought my SN last Saturday and love it!

I'm not missing my HD7... ;-)

Dolphin browser from Android market is a great internet browser, and it's free.

S-Memo is a very nice note app, S-Pen works very nice with the app.

With Sygic and the 5.3" screen, point-to-point in 3D works as well or even better than a dedicated GPS.

Exchange server sync even has Out-of-Office built-in. Look at my signature on two helpful tips on firmware update using Kies and how to read Outlook Task using S-Planner. There seems to be a bug in the Inbox, showing "IRM not supported" and can't sync after one day. Sent folder, calendar, contacts and task syncs find.

The screen lag I had noticed from demo sets seems not present in my Note. Great!

With my HD7, with Tune-in playing in the background, and with voice commands from navigation app, the voice commands and Tune-in sounds are broken. With the Note, Tune-in and Sygic, I don't have problem with sound.

I like the phone dialer better than the HD7 dialer.

Battery Life is better than my HD7, but that may be due to the higher Ampere battery in the Note.

So my conclusion is, the Note is a good buy. I'm glad that the HTC Titan has not arrive here, thus giving me the opportunity to get the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Had a HD2 which broke and was replaced with an hd7. The hd7 is a very good phone, the G-Note it's the best phone I could ever imagine. There's no comparison and I'll never go back.

Hd7 is now a paperweight.

Hi

I would like to buy a G- Note, but i love my HD2 with WP7.5 Mango with People Hub.

I´m "studyng" ICS 4 and there people hub too.

Wainting to see G-Note with ICS and people feedback too.

Enjoy G-Note ;-)

Don't want any other device right now.

Almost everything is great.

[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Ok, I have my dad persuaded to get a WP7 device but he doesn't want to pay the heavy cost that the current careers charge for a smartphone. He already has service through a different provider on a family plan which is great. But he wants a smartphone without the hefty cost. Are there any plans for smaller carriers like cricket, metro or virgin mobile to receive WP devices. Maybe even some prepaid devices. Sounds like Tango will take advantage of this but when will they expand to others to make affordable to all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
That would be a great way for Microsoft to get some market pentration by seeding 1st Gen devices to these smaller carriers.

In the mean time why not have your dad by an unlocked Gen 1 device one bay. You'd pay prob $200 or for one these days.

Actually on the service he has now they offer the dvp. Thinking about telling him to upgrade phones on his original line.

HTC 7 Pro is available on US Cellular and Alltel Wireless if that's what you are wondering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Cool I guess I was uneducated on what carriers provided the WP7, I thought it was just the Top carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
First of all, what carrier does he have and how much is he paying for it? He should get the Monthly 4g plan from Tmobile. But all the prepaid plans are useful if the owner already owns a device and plans to keep it for a while, other than that regular 2 years plan is cheaper in a short run for smartphones. I got the Tmobile 4g Plan, pay 49.99 per month, i get unlimited call, text and Edge(2g) Data. (4g is limited to 100mb). If your dad is only going to use the smartphone for GPS, Social Network (linkedin, twitter, facebook), or email, this is the plan for him because i pretty much don't go outside the campus and there are wifi around me pretty much everwhere i go. If he is not crazy about phone calls or Text messages nor data usage, then he could go for $29.99 plan with 1500 minutes/text combined(shared) and 30mb of data limit (This has no Unlimited Edge Data btw.) Tmo has the best plan ever! I wouldn't go with Cricket or any oter prepaid carriers because Tmo is more reliable than them!
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Depending on the carrier, you could simply buy a Windows Phone outright for full price.

T-Mobile has the Radar available for $399, and the HD7 for $299. Just unlock the phone, stick a SIM card in there from your carrier (if your carrier is GSM that is), and you should be good to go.

at&t has numerous phones available, and I remember reading an article about them having some Windows Phone available specifically for their prepaid service too, so prices shouldn't be too high.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ That 49.99 plan is a rip off. 100mb of fake 4g, then the rest is 2g!

I pay 43.54 total every month for unlimited everything. Contract free is the way to be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
My dad has Cincinnati Bell wireless and they offer the Radar now, they had the DVP but I think the Radar would suit him better. My parents already have a family plan with no data, so he pays an extra $30 a month for unlimited data
[Windows Phone 7 General] agent00f:
Bump. I'm android right and am looking to jump to an os with somewhat less bugs and active development (vs something that'll be abandoned at the version it ships with) for daily use.

It'd be great if anyone has any info on upcoming phones valid for use with prepaid plans w/ data.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_bol2riz:
Hi,

It take me a bit of time to find how to flash a kernel using fastboot on os X. Therefore I've decided to add a new post about that on XDA for those who want/need to use fastboot on mac os X.

Example given for a Sony Xperia ARC LT15i. This should work for any SE device but will need different vendor ID value for another Brand.

Installation

- Download and extract Android SDK (let's say on the Desktop for the rest of the explanation…)

- Add "Android SDK Platform-Tools" with android SDK Manager

- Download fastboot for mac here http://www.mediafire.com/?0nwuina1ydi

- extract it in android-sdk/platform-tools/

Configuration

Next you need to update the PATH for tools/ and platform-tools/ folder.

- Open Terminal app and type

nano ~/.bash_profile

- Add the following two lines and change the (username) with the name of your mac os X account name :

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/(username)/Desktop/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/(username)/Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools

- Save by typing Control+X and then Y

From now you can use fastboot command on your mac os X

The only thing to know is that you will need to use the "i" argument to specify the vendor id of the phone

./fastboot-mac -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

Here is the official vendor IDs list http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#VendorIds but the SE one is not exactly the same and I don't know why :p

This help have been made using the following sources:

- http://blog.wapnet.nl/2011/05/setup-adb-and-fastboot-with-android-sdk-on-mac-osx/

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1280516

Feel free to add specific vendor IDs
