Yeah Im gonna wait too. No reason to go through the hassle of back to stock to maybe receive and update when soon enough someone will have create something else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hitchslap:
Cool, thanks

Good enough, and thanks for the quick reply. I'll ignore it and wait for you awesome devs to post a new ROM. BTW, I'm using the EP4P radios, too.

You think they stop working on trying to improve things and fix bugs just because a build was submitted for OTA testing? If that were the case, we'd never get the OTA.

[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
Noob question but is there anyway I can unlock my phone without wiping all the data off?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
You could root first then use titanium backup to save everything (apps, bookmarks) then go about unlocking. You will have to enter your emails, logins, etc but the data from all apps can be restored again.

Please read more into the unlock process as I believe its tied to the radio so you may lose 4G. I believe there's a way to still keep 4G but I'm not taking that chance. Good luck

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theshakyone:
Hi All -

On the whole i am very happy with the G Nex. One thing is annoying me though. When plugged into the mains on charge the plug itself emits a strange, high pitch noise. It sounds like some form of interference. I have had this before on a cheap replacement ipod charger.

As i charge the phone next to my bed it really is a pain.

I have tried different plug sockets, and it is plugged directly into the mains.

Anyone else notice this, or can advise?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
Coil whine.

Hotglue the coil or get a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theshakyone:
Thanks for the quick reply.

So this is a fault that needs a replacement charger? Im not going to start taking things apart myself....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
The problem is that not many consider it an actual fault, as it does infact not impair it's functionality.

But yeah, maybe they can offer you another charger for free, if not you can always just use another USB-charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theshakyone:
I have just tried my desire hd charger and the same thing happens when plugging in the galaxy nexus.

I again tried it in different sockets just to be sure. I even plugged in the desire hd to make sure i wasnt going mad....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
The issue can be related to the load, so even a different phone may change the results in whether or not the whining appears, and can even make other chargers "whine".

Bascially it has to do with the resonance produced by the inductor coil, depending on the load, it will reach a state where it can vibrate, producing said whine.

Did you try your Desire HD in the Nexus Charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gja88:
So I'm wondering if the screen on the phone is actually nice? I've read mixed reviews but I'm just wondering if its exaggerated or if the screen is actually nice. How would current owners of the device rate it? Is it on par with the retina display? Are pixels actually noticeable? Any info would greatly be appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I have spent around an hour with it and screen is CRAP compared to iPhone 4. Very very dark even on max brightness and AUTO off. There is no white shade, just grey. If you look closer, you can see individual pixels even they call it HD screen. Very dissapointed, such an amazing design with fresh Android, but terrible screen. Not even SAMLOED+.

iPhone 4 screen is unbeatable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yumunum:
Really? In a way this wouldn't surprise me, though. My 4 and 4S have always been crisper than the other phones I see. I would've hoped the GN would be better though.

Can you comfortably load a desktop web page and see all the text without zooming?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
wow. That sounds absolutely terrible. A nightmare. No white shade, just grey. wow. Just canceled order. Thanks for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
the screen is brilliant, i love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Oh really, huh?

Funny, since usually people complain that AMOLED screens are too ****ing bright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Crank the brightness up a bit and the GN is a decent screen, certainly better than my NS. Now I also have an iPhone 4s (work made me do it!) and I'd say the colours are a little more realistic on the iPhone. In the end the screen size is of greater benefit to me and fairly soon

Supercurio will have worked his voodoo magic and we will be able to choose whatever colour temperature we want.

Edit... the screen isn't dull in comparison with the iPhone, that's complete crap (sorry). And there are no pixels when zooming in on web pages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Take iPhone 4 and put next to Samsung(max brightness) and you will see HOW dark is sammy`s display and how "white" is white colour - just terrible. Samsung should have used some really premium display in their flagship superphone instead of this crap. I`m so used to superbright retina screen, looking at sammy`s screen felt like its $50 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Hows it compare to QHD screens ((Amaze/Sensation)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I had Sensation and its screen was pretty bright, I would say more brighter than GN.

All of you who are saying GN screen is woow/amazing - you haven`t seen iPhone 4 screen. Put both side to side and you`ll see yourself. If you had $20 Nokia, then of course it will be "mind blowing" screen for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Er - I have!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
There are some funny people out there.

IMHO the screen is fantastic. Side by side with the GS2 it blows it out of the water. Sharper, clearer AND bigger. The GS2 looks distinctly low res.

Sure the iphone screen is pretty but its tiny.

Im sure people will disagree with me but thats the great thing about opinions :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Can anyone do a side by side screen comparison and post pictures?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I have seen iPhone 4 screen.

I still prefer the Galaxy Nexus screen.

opinion is subjective. you cannot tell me that I am wrong for liking the Galaxy Nexus screen compared to the iPhone 4. you can only disagree with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Kind of YES it is - because its huge and high res(it has to be, otherwise pixels will jump into your face)

Agree, GS2 screen is just junk.

++++, but it doesn`t make GN screen WOOOW or AMAZING.

I had so much hope for GN screen, now its out and I`m struggling to make a decision, but I need larger screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
It's not really surprising that the iPhone has a "better"screen. It uses a high density IPS panel. IPS is well known for its superior brightness, color accuracy, and viewing angles. There's a reason IPS monitors are so wildly popular in photo/graphic editing fields.

Some will disagree because of their ridiculous iPhone animosity, but they don't really matter.

That said, the GSII screen (the SAMOLED+) is not "junk". Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Just google/youtube, quite few. But it doesn`t reflect real life situation because its recorded by camera and it does change colours etc. Go to mobile phone shop, take both and put side by side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
That's funny, I've owned every iPhone iteration except for this latest (4S) and I currently own a Galaxy S II. I took my S II to my friend, who imported a Galaxy Nexus, and is replacing his iPhone 4S (doesn't like it). We cranked the brightness to max on all 3 devices, and then to minimum on all 3.

The Galaxy Nexus had, arguably, the best screen of the bunch. We asked multiple people (5 or 6 of our friends were over) and they all agreed. Watching videos and looking at pictures shows a *WORLD* of difference. The screen on the iPhone is brilliant, but compared to the size and resolution of the Galaxy Nexus...you're kidding yourself if you think it's crap.

Disclaimer: The whites *are* more pure white on the iPhone, and the colors are more true to life; however, that's a common difference betwixt SUPERAMOLED screens and the screen in the iPhone. Some people prefer the higher contrast and color saturation in the AMOLED screens...and I'm starting to agree. After owning every iPhone I used to love them, but now I'm blown away every time I turn on my phone because of the way the colors pop.

Your opinion might be that the screen on the iPhone is better...but to say that the screen on the Galaxy Nexus is crap kind of tells me you've either never seen it in the same conditions as the iPhone or you're expressing your opinion through exaggeration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Ok.... the screen did make me go wow ! As it has most people ive shown it to.

I dont agree with the apple corporate way of working so an iphone was never an optiom.

IMHO the GN is the best android screen ive seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikbrown:
Yes I have. I owned an iPhone 4 before this phone. I prefer the blacks and colours on the GN - much deeper blacks, much more vivid colours.

Whites/light greys, however, are a different story. On high brightness the GN wins, but anything lower and yes, they're grainy, bandy and greyey. Very poor, but I believe it's a symtom of Pentile displays unfortunately.

Those blacks though. Those blacks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
At least somebody who has had iPhone 4 :D

Call me a fool, but its rubbish. It might be amazing compared to $50 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
All panels are subject to calibration by the product maker. Apple screens suck ass when it comes to color accuracy as they are always bland and washed out. The guys at displaymate for example always rate it highly but for such a miniscule screen and its intended viewing the colors suck.

I have a N1 and the color accuracy is just as bad on the opposite end of the spectrum. AMOLEDs in general push some colors too hard or display white as gray or bluish.

I dont know the decision making process but all these things would be a moot point if OEMS would just let us calibrate the screen on our own like EVERY OTHER FRIGGIN display type on the planet. We stare at our mobile sets almost as much as home TVs..you'd figure we get some options other than "bright...not bright".

GS2 screen does look crappy next to an iphone/QHD and I would imagine GN display. Its not the tech or colors or anything else as they all suck/excel in one way or the other. Its the fact its a huge 4.5 inch screen with a ridiculously low res.

800x480 looks great on 4" phones. Past that its painfully clear a higher res is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
My first impression also was woow, its really good looking device with stylish design and high price tag. For that $, they must have put more brighter and more crisp screen.

I just don`t care whatever Jobs thinks and way he sells his phones - I just buy it and use it. We can`t change it, so just enjoy your device :D

Yep, huge and high res.

BTW.

Apple iPhone 4 can hit peak brightness of about 600 nits, Samsung Galaxy S II 400 nits. 50% more. Talk about DPI...its very grainy.

LG NOVA display`s hit 700 nits :cool: :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] human_error:
I put my GN next to my friends iPhone 4 and the GN wins hands down. It is brighter, the blacks are a true black, not a dark grey and you can't see a difference in pixel size.

To the person claiming IPS is better than oled because professional grade monitors use ips that is because the biggest oled panel you can buy currently is 7" - nowhere near big enough for a monitor. Oled is a superior technology but is too new and expensive to be viable in large screen sizes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
Well the iPhone screen is smaller but seems to have brighter whites.

The Nexus screen is larger, curved, higher resolution, more vivid colours and blacker blacks.

Most importantly, I've seen videos of a GN being thrown downstairs and surviving, whereas an iPhone screen breaks if you breathe near it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
In my opinion you should go and buy an iphone then.

Me ? Im happy with my GN ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I bet you forgot to turn off auto brightness and max it :D Shame I don`t have equipement to measure nits, I would proove GN is far from retina nits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eclair~:
I guess I would have to see the GN and iPhone 4 side-by-side to get a true understanding of the screens, but judging from pictures and reviews on the internet, the GN looks just fine:

And reviewers seem to adore the screen as well:

It may not be superior to the screen found on the iPhone 4S, but I would not go as far as to claim that it is horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I`ve been using iphone 4 for past year. I`m so used to its superb dislay, anything I see just does not stand a chance. My hope was GN. Iphone`s screen is too small. So, quality vs size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] human_error:
Both were manually set to max brightness. Also maximum white nits isn't everything - contrast ratio significantly impacts perceived brightness (we tested both screens outside side by side and both were equally readable which is the most important thing when it comes to screen brightness, as when you have them set to auto that's the only time you would find them on max anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Compared to retina +for such a high price tag = its not a good deal at all. GN should cost more like $370 not 650.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
I think your starting to sound very much like you are trolling (yawn).....

Off to a proper thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Shouldn't we call GN's display a retina SAMOLED? Apple said a retina display is a screen that has over 300 PPI. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
not a GN but we get a point.

Galaxy Note

Iphone 4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Desca:
Wow, I usually never interfere in conversations like this. Mainly because the guys spouting the same bull**** as you do, tend to be blinded fanboys who feels a need to boost the reputation of their desired brand by badmouthing every competing device on the market.

But this is just a load of bull.

I know there's personal preferences when it comes to things like this, but downright claiming that the Galaxy Nexus' and the Galaxy S II's screens are a load of crap/junk is just downright stupid. Both of the screens perform very well, and being the owner of a Galaxy S II with friends owning both iPhone 4 and 4S ofcourse we have compared the phones.

The Retina display is amazing, no doubt about that. But comparing them we quickly discovered that the brightness and colour of the SAMOLED+ on my Galaxy S II were much better, they even said so themselves. So personal preferences aside, you can't compete with hard facts like this.

Sadly the display doesn't have true 300 PPI because of the pentile technology used. You can read about this by doing a google on the issue :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
Sadly that's incorrect. The display has 316 pixels per inch. 316 is greater than 300. Sub-pixel arrangement has no bearing at all on pixel density. You can read about this by 'doing a google' on the issue. :rolleyes:

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djunited:
lol this thread made me compare my brother's 4s screen to my own galaxy s2 screen. even he appreciates the vivid colors of the galaxy s2. sure the retina display is clearer but to say the gs2 screen sucks when it is aweome to look at is just ridiculous. if anyone is interested in photos i can take some to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Desca:
As stated here; flatpanelshd[].com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1319022037

Thats simply not correct. The Galaxy Nexus is much closer to a real 200 ppi. Read the full article.

Kev
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
maybe you have a defective screen? Mine is brighter than that on full brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:

Makes me wonder if there are some defective units out there....

Mine on full brightness is way too bright for everyday usage.

I use the autobright settings .... which admittedly are a tad too low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
Ignore the troll who spent "an hour" looking at one.

The screen is really nice, it is too dim on autobright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevwright:
On a mostly white background though? mine is nice and bright on other screens, but its missing a vital control present in the S2 and Galaxy Note. See pics below.

You see on a non white screen brightness of both is equal, but when mainly white.....its not even close.

Can you put it to full brightness and try again on a mostly white screen, like Gmail. Thanks.

yes on a mostly white background, like Gmail, or a webpage, my screen is brighter than yours appears in those photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Desca:
My Galaxy S II is also a lot brighter than showed on those pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
kevwright the general consensus seems to be that either you haven't got the screen at full brightness, or that you have a defective screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevwright:
Any way you can post a pic, maybe mine is faulty. The reason I thought not is that when white text is on a dark background the Nexus is superbright white then.

I can make my S2 screen appear exactly like the Nexus in the photos by turning on the "Auto adjust screen power" in the Display settings. If this control was on Nexus, all would be well.

Kev
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
Or he's a troll. I think trying to argue with him is trying to beat a wall in a staring match.

yes. As I have already said, my screen is brighter than has been shown in the photos here. Other people have also come in to mention that their screens are brighter than the pictures shown here.

If your screen is as dim as kevwright's then you must either have the screen in a low brightness mode and not know how to change it, or you have a defective screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Can you make few more photo, but looking directly on the screen, not at angle?

Could it be that samsung is using different suppliers for their displays? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] human_error:
Again using an Asus transformer for the shot, so there's a bit of a halo due to not so great low light performance...

**edit**

one thought is that if your phone is quite hot it could have reduced the max brightness temporarily (I know some phones have done this in the past)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
as I understand it, Samsung are the only manufacturer making Super AMOLED screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
This IS white not grey like I have seen on two phones so far. But could it be due to camera you are using? I`m now suspicious why this SEEMS to be very different to two I checked :confused:

Can anybody else post photos of their screens at max brightness and AUTO off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbum:
The Nexus might have a feature like the GS2 has, where the screen dims the more whites are displayed. It would make sense to me.

However, I find it rather ridiculous do only judge by the brightness. Brightness is NEVER an issue to me. I had a Nexus One and I have the GS2 and with both, the only time I wished the screen was brighter was outside in direct sun light, where the retina display also failed. So whats the point? You really ARE a fool to call the GS2's screen junk. The colours pop more, the blacks are the darkest you can get and consequently the contrast is tremendous.

When my aunt showed off her iPhone 4 to my family, who have no idea of smartphones and are therefore as unbiased as it gets, they were all impressed with its colours and contrast. But of course I couldn't resist and put my phone next to it and their jaws dropped. Even I was (again) surprised how much better the screen actually looks.
