[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscole:
Anyone been able to connect to a 5GHz WiFi network witht the Galaxy Nexus?

Forcing the "Wi-Fi Frequency band" setting to 5GHz only just results in an empty list of available networks, despite the phone being sat underneath a very decent enterprise-grade dual band AP (Ruckus 7363, Atheros chipsets). Have tried a bunch of different channels on the Ruckus AP (in both the 36-64 and 100-136 range) and switched between 20 and 40Mhz channel widths to no avail.

As far as I can tell, the Galaxy Nexus uses a BCM4330 chipset should have a 5GHz amp, would be ashame if there's no 5GHz antenna for it?!

Chris.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscole:
My bad. Think I was changing channels on the wrong AP when testing out 5GHz earlier.

The Galaxy Nexus does indeed support 5GHz, albeit on a limited number of channels (connecting at a 65MBps maximum datarate):

36

40

44

48
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscole:
Just to finish up on this: After a bit of testing with an iPhone 4s (which also uses the same BCM4330 chipset and has no problems with any 5GHz channels), I'd guess that the GN's apparent limited support for 5GHz wifi is down to a software issue.

Basically the channels it supports are the ones that don't require DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) to be enabled on the AP, for use in the US (Europe apparently doesn't care about DFS).

I'd guess that the driver as is doesn't support interop with DFS (which I'd assume should be an AP-side function anyway) and rather than trust me that I'm in Europe, it just prevents those channels from being used.

Ashame, as it means 5GHz support is basically broken when it comes to using it with 'enterprise-grade' kit (not sure if consumer APs generally support DFS or not).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
it should work with 5 Ghz WiFi

even the SGS2 works with 5 Ghz WiFi

at home i can connect using my 5 Ghz WiFi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chingf0rd:
Hmmm...there's something odd going on with my GN with 5Ghz Wifi - I have a couple of Netgear routers 802.11N running on channels 36 and 44 and the GN connected no problems for the first few hours, but now it just won't grab an IP address. I've resorted to the G channels on 2.4Ghz, but have no idea why the handset suddenly won't pick up an IP on the 5Ghz even though I'm getting 'excellent' reception.

Any ideas? I've rebooted the phone and the network. The Mac and the iPad are the other devices on the 5Ghz and they're fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Have you check if it's not just your Regulatory domain settings that are wrong? I don't have a GN yet so I can't check but used to be under Advanced in Wifi settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
Works fine on my Netgear WNDR3700, weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chingf0rd:
It's very strange (I've got older DNDR3300 and WNDR3300 in the house) - it can see the SSIDs for 5Ghz, but just won't allocate me an IP address...I've looked at the wifi diagnostics through the *#*#info#*#* and there's nothing I can really do. I'm taking the thing back to '3' tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
have you tried allocating it an ip address manually in the router, basically forcing dhcp to allocate a specific one? Did you try connecting with no encryption as well (def worth a go)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chingf0rd:
Yup - did all that. turned off encryption, added guest networks, turned off DHCP and entered manual IPs. The GN picks up the G and obtains the IP address no problem, but it just won't with the N...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
:confused:

Bummer. assumed you would have had done all that..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clotheyes:
Just to add to the body of knowledge surrounding this. I have an Airport Extreme (Gen2), which had a recent firmware upgrade. This set it's automatic channel selection to use channel 100 - which my GN could not see. It took a downgrade from 7.6 to 7.4.2 for it to use channel 36 - and now I'm happy and connected. (I have other b/g APs in the house, but its nice to be on the fastest!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chingf0rd:
Was it a case that the GN could not see your network at all before?

I mean, my GN can 'see' the N networks, it just won't grab an IP - it just says 'Saved, secured WPA2 etc...' and will not obtain an IP.

I'm gonna replace the handset soon anyway with the volume 2g problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
For reference: The 5Ghz spectrum isn't required to use N-based routing. It'll give you a bit more distance and speed, but not very much (think in the range of an extra ~10%). It's a misconception that 5Ghz is the only way to use the N-band.

As far as distance goes, that shouldn't really matter for your phone unless you're on the absolute fringe of the range. As for speed, you'll absolutely never notice a difference using a phone. The only time you'd notice a difference in speed is when transferring large files from computer to computer (or if your data connection is upwards of 25Mbps, but this wouldn't matter for the phone, either).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscole:
OK, if this is just for reference, we'd best get it right ;-) All slightly off topic, but it goes someway to explaining why having the GN support for all the 5GHz channels would be useful.

Signal propagation at 5GHz is generally worse than at 2.4GHz. All other things being equal (xmit power, antenna gains, interference, etc) a 5GHz signal will actually have less range than a 2.4GHz one.

The 2.4GHz/5GHz issue isn't so much about range or relative throughput in the best case scenario. It's about the worst case scenario - what happens to your speed when there's interference.

The 2.4GHz band has three, useful, non-overlapping 20MHz channels (1,6 and 11). 5GHz has around 19 non overlapping 40MHz channels (of which the Galaxy Nexus supports a measly four) *and* a scheme for dynamically avoiding interference on-the-fly (DFS).

This translates into significantly more stable performance on 5GHz compared to a congested 2.4GHz band (as it is in most built up urban areas - eg I see about 30APs broadcasting on 2.4Ghz now from my home in central London).

TLDR; If you live in a field - 2.4GHz is fine. If you live in a city, 5GHz is the future.

I'd suggest the following for a good bit of background on WiFi, along with some useful benchmarks showing just why most domestic APs/Wifi routers are crap in any case:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bd177:
Setting my Linksys 610 DDWrt router to channel 36 with a channel width of 40MHZ did the trick. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taomyn:
Does anyone know if the "measly four" is a mistake by the firmware, a regulatory thing or just a hardware limitation?

My router performs best at channel 161 (it's a DD-WRT firmware thing) which means I can't see it on my phone, but I'm fine to access it on both my netbook and laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
Just want to thank the OP for this truly excellent thread. I also uncovered that the GN can also connect to the UNII-3 and the 5.8 ISM bands (channels 149-165), which are also non-DFS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
Seconded, I must have missed this post originally. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my GN connected to my Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT on channel 161 (40 MHz width).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thank you very much. Simple, concise, worked perfectly. Cheers mate.

Previous Winner in multiple categories - Apple iPhone 4. Yip, a mediocre heap of junk.

Best manufacturer - HTC.

[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Actually, the Lumia won Editor's choice, not Phone of the year. That award went to the SGS II, so I agree, utterly pointless award to a heap of junk! :) http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/13654_The_Lumia_800_picks_up_UK_Phon.php
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
In Rob's defense, the first link from wmpoweruser did not convey that. As reflected as an update in your website:

Update: We've got more details from What Mobile (hat tip to Marcus in the comments), and the award to the Lumia 800 was the "Editor's Choice" award, not "Phone of the Year", as initially reported. (Phone of the year? That went to the Samsung Galaxy S 2)

But to discredit the awards because the Nokia Lumia 800 won without looking further?
[Windows Phone 7 General] prowede:
I just got one, it is really nice.

[Huawei Ideos X6] olm3ca:
Does anyone have a stock Cincinnati Bell 2.2 froyo ROM for this phone, the Huawei U9000 Ideos X6?

Need to do a restore after trying a few alternate ROMs... thanks
[Huawei Ideos X6] cowsgo:
go to this web page http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3781&tb=2 and click on software and its a stock upgrade that Huawei put out for our phone
[Huawei Ideos X6] olm3ca:
Thanks - will try that. I found a WellCom A99 ROM. Do you know what the difference is?

The reason I'm asking is I am trying to unlock via a code I paid for (as Cincinnati Bell refuses to give their customers the codes, bad policy) and it isn't working. I'm wondering if it is the ROM or if the code just doesn't work. I will try the Huawei ROM and see if I have a different result but I fear this code is not good.
[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
hi

will this ROM work on my Spice Mi410 just wanted to try it :) see if their is any improvement over the other Roms:)
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
I assume you mean sim card unlock. Please report success or failure on this.
[Huawei Ideos X6] olm3ca:
I am now on the stock Huawei ROM and the phone is requesting a block unblock key. That only happens when your unlock code attempts fail too many times. Apparently, this company can get the key, and is working on that now. If / when I get the key and a correct code, that should solve it and I'm going directly to the CM7 build.

I'll post again if successful.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Just out out of curiosity, are you trying to use a t-mobile sim?
[Huawei Ideos X6] cowsgo:
hari,

not sure if this will work on your phone or not. I was not able to flash any wellcom or magnum roms on my phone. Create a nandroid back up and give it a try.
[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
hi

i dont think this can be flashed via CWM

and for ur info if u tried both the roms u mentioned via CWM it wont happen u have to flash it via stock recovery only or u can use Napstar new CWM which has the option to also boot via stock

u also need to rename them to firmware.nb0 put it on root of ur SD and then try flashing via Stock recovery only:)
[Huawei Ideos X6] olm3ca:
Success! I am in no way promoting these guys, but unlocksolution[dot]com came through. They got me the SIM block reset key, I entered it (as it was blocked from too many failed unlocks) and the phone is now registered.

I'm actually overseas for work, so I'm using Orange now. This is great for those of us who, contrary to Cincinnati Bell's stupid rules, want to use our phones overseas and still use CB in the states. T-mo and AT&T give out unlock codes after 90 days, I wish CB would wake up and have a decent policy.

One other thing for those talking about using different ROMs... I'm on CM7 now (the kang version, top of the list in the Dev forum for this phone) and it's working great. Not sure why anyone wants to stay with different stock ROMs, the only thing they have is a FM radio, and I can live without that.

If anyone needs help with any of this just PM me. Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Yea my last stent with Cincinnati Bell. As soon as my contract (or they change the TOS) is up I am moving to another carrier. They really suck when it comes to user support and willingness to work with customers. Their customer support has been absolutely rude with me in certain of their stores. On top of that they used to be price competative but not anymore. they have went up on their prices to where other carriers can really be competitive (except Verizon and ATT).
[Huawei Ideos X6] mnwilkinson:
Since you have rooted to CM7, have you had the "Incoming Download Mode

polling, get oemsbl_mode =" problem where you have to take the battery out of the phone to reboot because the screen is black and that message just keeps going and going? That seems to be inherent on the Ascend X for Cincy Bell customers. I know 4 other people besides myself that have the issue consistently. Also, a lot of random reboots.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Only reason for this to happen if that somehow you are holding the vol up key when starting. If you have a case on it perhaps the case is holding the vol up button or that button is somehow stuck.

I think for the most part the reviews have said the camera is pretty decent, but how does it compare to the iPhone 4S? I think the iPhone 4S may have one of the best if not the best camera on a smartphone. Does anyone here know of a detailed comparison between the two phones? Since the Galaxy Note have essentially the same camera as the Galaxy S2, a comparison like that would be fine as well.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TomTomczyk:
The best camera on a smartphone is Nokia N8. Nothing can beat Finnish queen - especially in terms of sound quality in videos, and still pictures.

I have seen a lot of sample footages from Note on youtube, and I have to say - there are some issues with autofocus, and in my opinion there is something wrong with microphone (too sensitive, might be a problem when you decide to record something on windy day). LED does fair job, even in completely dark room. Shooting in poor light conditions is okay - not as good as on N8, but details can be seen. I also noticed, that camera adjust exposition little bit slower compared to SG II. I am still not sure, if both devices (SGN and SGII) are using the same camera.

For me, the biggest problem is a way to hold this device and shoot pictures. I still didn't buy my Note yet (looking for some operators to release Note on contract in Poland), but I played with it in shop. Holding is not a problem, you can even put it into pocket, but shooting a pictures or making video might be tricky. With Nokia's I was able to hold it with one hand, and for example took fancy pictures from ground level, etc.

Question to lucky Note owners - can you take nice pictures from close distance? For example - can you take a picture of a book, and read the letters easily?

With regards

TT.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
Absolutely. With my Xperia X10 I had to put it into macro mode, with the Note, it just gets on with it and focuses flawlessly.

In response to the OP, I think the 4S and the Note will be pretty even in good light, but the Sony backlit sensor used in the 4S would win in poor light.

Having said that, I took some video last night by the stage at a live concert, and the Note rocks. :cool:

Note's camera is not good compared to nokia N8, yes its true.

Note's camera is better than, sensation xe, sgII, iphone, se and xl. What else you want more? Note is almost ahead of every other top selling brands. But I am not satisfied with note's camera quality, especially under dim light, but still ahead, you can compare it in gsm arena.

the browser isnt anywhere near as smooth as it was on my i9100. Any of you guys exprience these same issues? is it normal for this phone considering it has a lesser processor than the exynos?

Its the difference in processor power... most people see 1.2 vs. 1.5 and think 1.5 is better... not here, Exynos 1.2 runs laps around this 1.5 phone... anyway, with a little Modding, you can be happy, I promise.

Your phone was hardware accelerated aka the Exynos processor utilizing GPU resources.

The t989 hasn't gotten the appropriate GPU drivers but I'm sure the next ICS update should help fix things up nicely.

Keep your eyes peeled

However... using bullet kernel it is getting very close! and once again, if ICS uses our hardware properly for hardware acceleration, we should be better off. Our hardware overall is slightly quicker than the exynos versions. See:
