[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
In the end, it really depends on your budget, how much you are willing to spend and how badly you want this phone in place of your nexus one. I bought the motorola milestone about 20 months ago and I can't bare using it any longer. There was no updates past 2.2 (froyo) but there were custom roms (port of CM7) to be used on that phone (had a 550mhz processor, 256mb ram, other horrible specs) but it could barely be considered usable. Now, it is 99% confirmed that there will be no more updates regarding ICS for my device (and even if there were, i doubt it would work well considering Gingerbread only barely works). For you, on the other hand, there will still be a developer update for Nexus One to ICS (or at least I presume so) so you might be okay another few months or until faster dual core or quad core phones come out. BUT, if you love the nexus line, access to the fastest updates and having one of the biggest developer bases of any phone, and first-hand access to a completely working version of ICS, it might be worth it for you. Again, it all depends on the user, what their needs are and what they want in their phone.

Personally I Love the GN more than I loved my N1 (& That was a LOT)

You won't be disappointed!

Had mine for 24 hours now. Here's my early take: (my answers follow the >>>>>> s)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
As s.m.knipe made an excellent detailed report, I'll keep mine simple.

I recently upgraded my Nexus One to the Galaxy Nexus (there just wasn't anything better since the Nexus One), and I'm loving my device.

I was also worried about the cheapy plastic-feel of Samsung phones. But this one really feels nice. Feels lighter than the N1 but still has a good feel. Although as already stated, the battery cover is pretty flimsy :S but not really much of an issue in everyday use.

While I can understand the value of an SD Card, unless you're planning on carrying your music collection around, I prefer the onboard memory. It's plenty and faster :)

As for defects.. did you forget the long list of defects of the N1 when it came out? Most aren't so serious, the others, either a patch is coming or they just need to exchange it. As for mine, I haven't run into any issues.

And finally, on the european/canada model, the theoretical max is 21mbps (HSPA+). The Tmobile limit you're talkin about is the crazy dual band HSPA+. This phone doesn't have that.

Do not purchase from Handtec. Very unprofessional and dishonest company. You'll come out better ordering from anywhere else but them. Now if you enjoy being lied to and not communicated with about your order then by all means order from them..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
While I would totally recommend buying the GN and have one pre-ordered myself, I have to say that in my experience it isn't the best idea to ask in a specific device's forum because no matter what device, the majority will always recommend it ;)

I made this experience the hard way with my xperia x10 which then took over a year of official updates and (most of all) custom roms to become quite good.

That said, I can't tell where else to ask and the reviews here seem quite objective. Maybe i just got a little cautious :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECBomb:
Lol so true. But as long as your concerns are answered and after hearing the opinion and it still doesn't bother you, then by all means buy the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
these are my 2 pennies.

the star of the show is definite the ICS. as to be fair, the hardware are similar to any existing phones out there. RZAR, SGS2, etc etc.

the few points that are worth talk about are.

-build, it don't look like cheep plastic build, but they are in fact plastic build. that is my only complaint. they have a brilliant screen. a nice back plate (battery cover), but the bezel, if you look closely, is just made from plastic and if you examine even details, you can even see the different layer paint job done to it. so, those are the areas that is prone to scratch.

-no sd slot.

if you read somewhere some review from the designer, i actually vouch for what they have done. i would much prefer the 32gb version (because people are always greedy). the main star of this is, you nolonger need to move app to SD, as all storage lives under the hood as 1. all you apps get access to all 16gb at all time. hence they have to change the USB mount to MTP/PTP, where it provides storage access while the drives are mounted.

-task manager. this could not have been easier. if you looked at the GN launch presentation, the multi task button is also the task killer. its so easy to use. you just need to swipe to kill the apps. having say so, i have not really need to kill app to keep the phone running, at the moment, i kill the app hoping that it uses less battery (no prove to it. just doing it for the sake of it).

- speed, can't comment much on this, as i stay at areas with poor reception.

one last thing is.

this is one of the reason i recommend the Galaxy Nexus. is because of the screen design. the on screen virtual buttons.

google has set a new standard where android 3.0 and above will use virtual buttons. and so far, that is the only devices that uses it. another words, this phone will be more future prove than the others where there is always hard button on other devices. i believe in any future upgrades of android, it will always be this way onwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Not to be an ass or anything, just thought i'd point out that 8Mb is not 8MegaBytes/s wich is really really fast! But rather 8Megabits/s wich is about 1MegaBytes/s ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moppegaard:
I have been using the N1 for about a year and was looking for a replacement. While I must agree that the build quality doesn't seem to be on par with HTC I don't see it as a flimsy phone.

I have had the GN since Friday and must say that so far I have been impressed. ICS is different but so far great operating system.

I worried about the lack of external card but 16 gigs is alot of memory. I really don't think that I need the SD card.

If you liked your N1 I think you will like the GN

Why go Expansys over Handtec when it's a near $100 difference between the two for US customers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
With a coupon code (I believe it's $30 off) it's less than a $100 difference. That being said, I wish I had of paid the extra money to not have to deal with Handtec's incompetence and dishonesty. I recommend you pay a little bit more to have peace of mind and to know your order isn't being mishandled...and that you aren't being lied to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennettm89:
Shoot, wish I would have read further to get that coupon code. I agree with you though, I would rather pay a little extra to receive from someone who is a reliable source. I do apologize for the inconvenience that handtec has put you through.

All of that said, I appreciate everyone's input, hopefully I will receive it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] briguyd:
All you seem to do is flame Handtec. Their support for me has been excellent and their communication has been honest and plentiful. I have no issue with them and would absolutely order from them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennettm89:
I don't mean for the thread to become a competition between the two companies...but for one, I'd feel much safer getting it from somewhere a little closer to home (no disrespect).

I am having problems installing new radio.

This is for the ROM Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.5 the radio is recommended, the files are on the zip files and they include instructions, it does not work, the instructions are missing something.

I get the next message:

I have debugging on, i have htc sync installed and i´m running windows 7, the phone is in charge mode. I always get the same result, the phone was unleashed with the one step hack kit, the radio recommended is not installing, is there a different procedure to install or does the instructions are wrong ( 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M radio). Please anyone help!!!

I am predicting the big hammer will be here soon to close this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
here put this --> http://www.mediafire.com/?2kjgkx61l815cdb on the root of your sd card its 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M radio

then power phone off & boot into hboot by holding volume down + power buttons at the same time when hboot loads up it should recognize the PD98IMG.zip file

all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen to flash it

hope this helps you out ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yea - usually the "Remote: Not allowed" is due to not having an engineering bootloader (ENG S-OFF). It's much easier just to flash the radio in the manner suggested above rather than flashing an eng bootloader.

So ive searched, Im on 26.03.02.26m Ive got the same Fail message, I turned off UAC - off but havnt restarted the pc, I wanted to see if I can find the radio file so I can just flash it with the SD card.

[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Is there a way to get applications to install on the Kindle Fire that require location? I don't plan on using the location part of these apps but I would like the other features on them.

I can't get them to side load. It keeps saying it can't install the application.

I still don't know why they didn't include WiFi location on this thing. That would be good enough for me and there isn't anymore cost to Amazon.
[Kindle Fire General] Felnarion:
Have you tried enabling mock locations and even going so far as to set up tetherGPS?

Also, what apps are you trying to load that aren't loading?
[Kindle Fire General] teookie:
I'm having the same problem with various apps. The good news is that the Amazon app store is expanding rapidly and the apps you want may be available there now.
[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Never heard of mock locations, I will have to look into that.

The two apps that I would like either or of are c:geo or the geocaching app. Mainly for getting info and logging.
[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Thanks, I will have to keep on checking to see if they get available. Being that they are location based apps, who knows if Amazon will allow you to install them.

I would love for someone to figure out a way to install the Google location into the Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] mfisch@mfisch.com:
Mock locations work. In addition to enabling that and finding Assn app to fake location you'll need to enable network,gps as location sources as this fields outs used to determine requisite location processing regardless of whether you have GPS or cellular chips.

You should be able too follow generic mock location instructions for gingerbread, you'll also need to edit settings.DB manually.
[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Well the main issue is will the app install then? I'm thinking the Fire is rejecting any app that says it requires location services to be enabled.
[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Well I finally got the app to install. It only took editing the AndroidManifest.xml file. I took out the line that says it needs to use the maps library.. The app installs, but won't run because it requires this library. Force closes everytime. Now we know the issue why it's not installing. No Google libraries are on the Amazon Kindle.
[Kindle Fire General] RJ McKenzie:
Well I got the application to install and work successfully. The issue was not having the Google Maps framework installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20123452 .

And then on top of that I enabled mock locations which helps with the app as well. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362472

Anyone else tried using Skype on their Nexus yet?

I've had a few issues with it so far. Firstly I can only see video, my video isn't working and secondly the volume is too quiet to hear despite coming out of the loudspeaker at the back.

I'm presuming this is because the Nexus isn't officially supported by the Skype app just yet? If that is not the case, then is there any known fix/workaround?

What do you think of it?

I just recently bought a pair of sony xplod stereos for my wife and I off of best buy for 50$ each. Great stereo.

Well, I'm running Capy's RCMix3D rom with Beats Audio. Hooked my Glacier up with the aux cable and have it playing in her car.

I must say, it sounds great. I read how people say it's just a bass boost and I won't lie, it kinda is but it really helps with some audio quality.

At the moment, my system isn't hooked up and I can't wait til it is. I'm pretty sure it will sound good. Anyways, sorry for the lengthy post. Just that I'd give some info on how Beats Audio is being utilized. What are your thoughts?

I honestly thought beats audio wasn't that great, never saw the appeal to it. I prefer poweramp(eq set to rock) an the dsp manager with virtual room set to concert (something like it). Beats to me is more for people who listen to rap or r&b(no offense to anyone), compared to i listen too, it just don't work for me. I also used skullcandy titan headphones. Then again that's just my opinion an thoughts.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Sent from my fist to your nuts, enjoy!
[myTouch 4G General] 915rko:
Obviously Beats has a target demographic. Come on, it's Dr. Dre haha. I've tried poweramp and I can say it's great as well, so is the dsp manager. Unfortunately I didn't play much with poweramp after the free trial ended. And dsp manager is my go to when I'm on cm7. I still set them to my liking and music (mostly hip hop but still have rock, dance, different music) the thing with Beats is that it is automatically started as soon as you hook your headset. I know poweramp and dsp save their settings but I'm a crack flasher and constantly switching roms.
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
I keep mine backed up, with the settings saved. So when I restore,I don't have to fix anything. With my poweramp, soon I plug in my headphones, it starts also. There's nothing wrong with beats, just not for me. I did love it with my hardstyle an techno music.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Hi, the ICS clock screen has a bit of an issue, the fonts are to big. I'm using it in dGB and oxygen and it comes included in another ROM.

If I change the font size in spare parts its fine and I prefer the whole overall Size difference. unfortunately after reboot the settings go back again to normal size.

The actual setting takes place in data/com.android.settings.providers - settings.db

It changes font_scale to 0.95 from 1.0

Is there a build.prop I can add to keep it at 0.95 at boot? I've tried ro.com.font_scale =0.95 as the date format and some other settings in there (settings.db) are referenced that way in build.prop.

No joy.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/28/galaxy-note-gets-lte-turned-on-in-south-korea-ready-to-cross-th/

Picture of possible US Galaxy Note with no physical button. LTE is now on for Korea. Possibly coming to ATT with LTE? Well, I already ordered a White unlocked one, and I think that H+ will keep me happy since I am using it as a data only device, and I don't think that will be possible if I wanted a locked down ATT LTE version.

After I finish school and I'm not on such a tight budget, I think I'd be down for paying the extra for LTE. But not yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Looks like an AT&T design. Definitely not interested.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Funk2641:
Er...how can you tell?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Lack of a physical button is something AT&T does.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] isimme:
Lack of a physical button is something Google/Android does.

Ice Cream Sandwich pushes for a lack of physical buttons with onscreen buttons

such as with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
It has capacitive buttons so no, you're wrong. ICS has the option for NO buttons (capactive or otherwise).

There's also speculation that it's going to have a 1.5ghz snapdragon...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] isimme:
"Joker", the touchscreen itself is a capacitive button,

the capacitive buttons you speak of are just an extension of this,

in either case,

on screen or "separate",

so you are wrong.

No mechanical buttons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yup, that's correct.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
No **** sherlock, ICS is designed to support onscreen buttons. AT&T's design incorporates capacitive buttons, not because of ICS but just because that is their preferred design.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
Definitely looks like the AT&T model. Just like how the captivate had the capacitive button as well as at&t's GSII.

I would stay away from this one even if it had LTE. My medianet data is too precious to let go of. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] isimme:
Yo Joke,

If it was a "no **** sherlock" then you would have gotten the fact both the "potential AT&T version" pictured in the link and the Galaxy Nexus make the face of the phone more streamlined by not having separate buttons so the obvious wasn't so obvious at least not to you. And I never said the lack of separate buttons on the

"potential AT&T version" was because of ICS. As I have said before you make

ass-umptions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Wow dude you really are dense. I said the design was what AT&T goes with and then you countered with some drivel about it being that way because of ICS because ICS doesn't use physical buttons--NO KIDDING, next you'll tell us the sky is blue! Just because it uses capacitive buttons doesn't mean its because Samsung is making it ICS compliant, they would have omitted them if that were the case. So with that in mind and putting 2 + 2 together its obvious (except to you) its slated for AT&T.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
I know some people prefer the physical home button, but I actually prefer the look of just capacitive buttons. As long as the rumored AT&T version still has the Wacom stylus, I'll be opting for it over the Galaxy Nexus.

Hey Joke,

go back and read what I wrote from the beginning of this thread...

then compare it to the reality, and..

what is in your head, and..

the fiction you wrote.

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

My five year old cousin reads and comprehends better.

The world you built,

the small one,

in your head it is not reality!

You keep repeatedly,

making ass-umptions...

Have some else re-read it if you still think you are "right",

it is embarrassing to you,

and quite frankly it is starting to make me feel uncomfortable..

And I have to apologize to my cousin for comparing him to you,

So sorry cousin.

So sorry to the words, that

the Joke,

cannot give you the attention you deserve.

Forgive his ego and the ass-umptions it births.

To sum it up,

because I feel bad about your inability to properly read and comprehend

(kids stay in school!),

I made a comparison of the simplicity of the no physical button design

of the "supposed AT&T Note version" and the buttonless Galaxy Nexus.

I never said "AT&Ts version" was buttonless because of any direct

correlation with ICS! Stay in school Kids, stay in school!
