[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I would get the HTC MHL adapter. It looks much better and the ports are arranged more logically.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zok-star:
I'll be getting (when in stock) an extra battery

http://shop.htcpedia.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-battery.html

and another charger for it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I have a soft pouch for when im out. I bought a usb connector so I can plug in a usb adapter for a mouse and keyboard or plug in a flash drive. I also bought a 7000mAh battery pack to charge it on the go. I did ponder on whether to buy a spare battery but that means turning the phone off, taking the battery out and changing it so a battery pack which can recharge a nearly empty battery at least 3 times makes more sense. It also has 2 outputs so you can charge 2 phones at once or power any usb device from it :).

Im waiting until the samsung car dock and portrait multimedia dock are released. I was going to get an mhl adapter but I need a desk dock anyway and the docks for the nexus will have hdmi ports in them so you can output direct to a tv or monitor without the need for ugly connectors.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Wow, didn't know they Nexus could act as a USB host. Does that mean you can read any file off a flash drive? What about portable hard drives (I'm assuming they would need external power)?

That battery pack looks nice, too bad they don't have it on expansys. It will cost me too much to ship each item from individual websites along with my Nexus :(

Edit: Just found the Usb host on the go thread and it seems that it is not supported out of the box (yet), you might need to flash a custom kernel for it to work until Google fixes it. That said I still ordered the cable :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Paul at Modaco has made a custom kernel to support usb drives *HERE*. I havent tested that function yet though so I cant confirm it works.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
I just picked up a MilitaryShield screen protector and carbon fiber skin from amazon. I thought for $15 I couldn't go wrong.

telepathically sent with my Galaxy Nexus which is being imprisoned by FedEx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
i still think what will be the best dock, this one:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock.html

or this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Desktop-Dock-Galaxy-Nexus/dp/B006GJ5S3S

the 1st one has both HDMI & mini-USB.

the 2nd one is the official and uses the pogo pins but only mini-USB and audio jack.

my goal is connecting the nexus to my lcd tv with a controller such a usb gamepad.

any benefits for the pogo pins? should i connect MHL to the back of the dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
i already bought the screen protector and mhl. will be buying a soft holster pouch if my droid x one doesnt fit in and probably some sort of case. maybe the one with the kickstand. and a battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthonyh90:
just bought a black leather fitbag case for it, also looking at buying a battery pack for it to charge on the go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotchy:
Iv ordered a cheap ebay case, the leather flip one for when im out, £5 cant go wrong....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paOol:
I want to be able to connect my Nexus to my Tv and watch videos and also play emulated games using controllers, so I'm getting the MHL Adapter and HDMI Cable. Free shipping on amazon? don't mind if I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
For what you're using it for, the 2nd one won't work, unless you plug the mhl cable directly into the phone (the port should be open since it's in landscape). Everyone needs to keep in mind that the 2nd one only charges it. It WILL NOT connect to a computer for file transfer, nor will it support mhl/HDMI out.

In terms of ease of use and function, I prefer the 2nd one though, because (going off how the nexus one worked) you can just drop the phone in/take it out one handed easily; no need to line the port up. This actually works better than the n1, since it would always fall over if you weren't careful (since it was oriented in portrait mode). In addition, the phone should automatically connect to the dock through bluetooth, which I loved on the N1.

Hope this helps your decision. Oh, and I'm definitely getting the official Samsung landscape dock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
so, in the back of the official dock i can connect, for example, a gamepad/controller and since the dock is landscape, i can connect to the phone the mhl cable, is that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
For the official portrait dock, you may or may not be able to connect everything to the back of the dock. It depends on if Samsung is foolish or not.

For the official landscape dock (with the pins) the back can ONLY be used for charging the phone. The controller and HDMI out would have to be placed in the port of the phone itself, assuming that it actually shows while sitting in the dock (I don't know if it even does). The whole point of this dock is to be a stylish desk clock/charger, and nothing else. (Again, going off of the nexus one dock. There's an extremely slight possibility that they've improved the pin connector tech, but as far as I know, it wouldn't be enough to port full video through)

So for your uses, get the portrait dock. It connects to the phone via usb, and while it may not be as fancy as the landscape one, it'll almost definitely be more useful to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
thank you!

oh, lets say i use usb splitter on my nexus, the question is if the usb splitter still support so i can connect for example gamepad, keyboard and mouse ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Well I know that a usb splitter will cover the gamepad, keyboard and mouse since they're all usb, but if you're considering a keyboard and mouse I'd say go for a bluetooth set. They connect extremely easily and work out of the box; I've tested it with my own mouse. Come to think of it, I'd say get a ps3 controller too. Then you could connect to the phone using bluetooth with the controller as well. Then you'd have no wires between you and the phone, which is slick in my opinion.

Of course if you don't have any of those and don't want to spend the money/already have a set you want to use then here's what you do: get something like one of these:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/29367-HT...HDMI-TV-Out-Cable-AC-M490-Reviews.htm#reviews

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-tv-out-adapter-black-p29839.htm

and connect it to the phone. Then if you still decide to do the usb route rather than bluetooth then connect your usb splitter to the adapter. That way the MHL adapter still can send out HDMI and send in the usb inputs from the splitter.

And you'll have a full game/workstation from your phone. Not sure how effective it will be (since the homescreen/some apps don't work in landscape) but it'll definitely be cool for games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Actually, it's either MHL or USB. They use the same pins, so you can never get USB and MHL to work at the same time.

If you want HDMI output and controller input at the same time, Bluetooth is the only way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Make sure it's a USB-OTG cable and not a simple adapter. That one doesn't say that it's OTG. May still be though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Has anyone tried the Sixaxis tool from the market on the SGS and confirm it works?

Also, I bought this USB micro to female adapter from Expansys: http://www.expansys.ae/expansys-micro-usb-male-to-usb-female-adapter-223101/

How do I find out if it's OTG or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatfossil:
Hi Guys

The moment my phone starts and I press the phone button to dial someone, I cant get back to the homescreen by using the back button, it vibrates but that's about it, nothing happens, I have to press the menu button the return. If I open an app and close it again, it jumps back to the dial pad again.

Very strange, could someone please help me out?

Thanks again

Hi,

Are you using Stock or custom rom?

Try to do a factory reset or flash an other rom and your problem will be solved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xtrezpasor:
Any suggestions? Almost up to my upgrade, need some advice :)

Thanksl
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdo41:
E4gt by a long shot. Smoother ,longer battery life!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
The epic 4g touch by a long shot. Samsung focused on software amd hardware instead of a gimmick like the 3d did and the nexus 4g is a great phone but it's out of date hardware wise.

Lots of other reasons, but those are the biggest ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Evo 3D isnt even used as a benchmark when comparing newly released phones, almost as if it is "old" hardware", such as the Nexus 4G ;) Epic Touch IS the best device of 2011, IMHO it will beat out the Galaxy Nexus as well, once we have official ICS anyway. But by then HTC's Quad Core device will drop, making the Epic Tough "old hardware" If you want today's top of the line device, then its Epic Touch FTW!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
I disagree on the evo3d not being a benchmark. A nexus feels slow compared to either of the other 2 other phones. When it comes to comparing a et4g and evo3d, u almost have to spend a week just you figure out what screen u prefer (i know people say a evo3d looks washed out when side by side). Truth of the matter is that both screens are terrific and depends on ur style. As for power, its like racing 2 new street bikes, both are plenty fast and to me, speed isnt a issue. The new sg2s actually has the same processor (almost) as the 3d. Now it comes down to the joy of using, and i pick sense everytime. Htc has of nice widgets that play well with sync'n ur accounts. Facebook is fully intergrated with everything. At the end, both phones dont leave much to be desired. U will be completely happy with a evo3d or et4g. Ill also add that the et4g takes.better pics, but also not 3d (so ur choice). To me 3d is great but i would trade cameras with the et4g if i could. I think the evo3d screen is way more responsive and feels alot better and smoother to use. This might not be a issue if u have never owned a sensitive device.

***i left out bugs and battery life because of it being a misleading issue. Xda is full of whinners who complain about every detail on both devices. Fanboys lie about battery life on both devices. Both make it thru the day and charge it at night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
No question the Epic Touch. I have had all three these phones. The EVO-3D was a major let down for the successor to the classic EVO 4G. I returned it after two weeks.

Bought the Nexus-S 4G and it was a cool little phone. Nice screen. Lightweight. Fast for single core.

Last week picked up the ET4 and man this thing feels and looks like a next gen device compared to those other two. Like those other phones feel years old. The ET4 has an amazing screen. Very thin. Lightweight...ridiculous long battery life. And the good ROM's are finally coming out.

For Sprint this is hands down their best device.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
I find the nexus screen to be garbage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Which Nexus ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
Nexus s 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
I agree, my Wife still has the Nexus and compared to my ET4 it is a huge difference. And this phone is much thinner which I really like.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
My first choice would be Nexus Prime, 2nd this phone. Be aware of issues with this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
there are issues with EVERY phone. The prime will have its fair share of issues, hell, they just rolled out an ETA for nexus users to fix a volume but.

I wouldnt take any other phone except for the galaxy note. and even thats too big. The et4g will be in my hands for at least the next 6 months. its THAT good. Had the nexus, evo3d, tried the photon, there is no comparison whatsoever.

Also, no point in waiting on new phones, because guess what, after you wait, then finally make a purchase, something better is going to come out 2 months later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mship:
This is a great phone and you will love it. It is super thin but doesnt fell cheap. It is much lighter than the Evo (I have held the 3D so I cant compare). Very fast and the screen is beauty. You can even see it clearly in daylight at a medium black light setting.

The only issue I am having with it is when I play a game on it it just closing the app because of a sound issue.

Here is the posting on google about the problem:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623

And here is the possible solution to the issue:

http://www.grayfinstudios.com/post?id=ag1ncmF5Zmlud2ViYXBwcgwLEgRQb3N0GIHuBQw

But even with that problem the phone is still wonderful. I was looking at the Sprint forum a few nights ago and Samsung and Sprint are suppose to be working on a fix. But you know how that goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejbmvp:
ive tried them all. epic 4g touch is bar far the fastest and best battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
Epic Touch 4G by a very long shot. The device is super fast and the stock rom is very well rounded. I am a flash-junky, and while my device is rooted, I am still running the stock rom. Even the default launcher is great, although I still prefer ADW Launcher. The device runs full flash and never laggy no matter what sites I go on. Even adult sites (just to test of course :p). I can play every video type I've tried with the stock video player. Even AVI and MKV. Even things that my netbook has trouble running, the E4gT runs without a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Joe Smithereens:
This.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I have the E4GT, gave my Evo 3D to my wife. Nexus is coming out with new model called Prime.

E4GT vs Evo 3D = E4GT for sure.

Keep in mind E4GT has bugs for some people (including myself) loss of service and games crashing, a fix is "supposed to be coming soon". Even with this bug, I choose E4GT.

E4GT vs Nexus Prime:

Every aspect Nexus wins for me with BIG except the camera.

Note that in camera world 8mp vs 5mp doesn't matter, it's the lense. From the international version of Nexus Prime, the camera sux. This is a deal breaker for me because I take an average of 100-200 pics every month (like they say, the best camera is the one you have with you when you need it). UNLESS the Nexus Prime coming to Sprint I would guess around jan or February improve the quality of camera, I decided based on that.

Today's winner is E4GT. Tomorrow's winner is pending for me. If only I knew the improved Nexus Prime would be coming to Sprint, only then 100% Prime. Or if camera Quality is not important to you, 100% wait and get Prime...

IMHO

[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Sell whatever you have right now, buy Nexus S 4G off-contract and save your upgrade for the next big thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alcnaeon:
This is the correct choice. Sprint is due for a new phone, and anything you get right now will be outdated soon. The Nexus S is your best bet for a relatively affordable phone off-contract right now, because it's already got ICS unofficially, and behind the Galaxy Nexus, it'll likely be first to have it officially as well.

Don't get an Evo 3D. The 3D is cool, but barely anybody can view the photos and videos you make with it right now anyway, and the difficulty it apparently adds to development has choked our dev community when compared to other phones. It's frustrating.
[HTC EVO 3D] yankee minaj:
Just make sure that is not a Samsung phone....couple of friends at work have the new epic touch and i havnt heard anythin good about em

And yea just get a watever phone and hold your upgrade like that you can get a way better phone in the near future...

I have the Evo 3D and honestly i have no complaints but thats up to you

Use your upgrade wisely! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jedibutters:
I would go with a 3d just for one reason Samsung does not update there phone fast enough. My wife had her epic since day one and a few weeks ago she got 2.3. While the og evo had 2.3 six months earlyer go with HTC but that's just me
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
this is the best answer that you could give. good idea! ive seen a nexus 4g on craigslist for 200 at the most in good condition. im thinking about getting one in addition to my evo 3d haha.

[Android Apps and Games] ninetwozero:
Hello world!

I just realized that I haven't told you guys (and girls) over here at XDA about this app that I've created. Better late then never, atleast that's what people say. :)

Before I continue, I might as-well add that this app isn't much fun for those of you that don't play or haven't ever played Battlefield 3. Sorry about that, but I can't do anything about that. If you do however play the game (or atleast have an Origins-account)... well, this is an app for you!

BF3 Battlelog is the unofficial app for the social network for the game, referred to as Battlelog. This is pretty much a crossover between Facebook and a regular game statistics-page, and it's actually a pretty good initiative from EA/DICEs side. However, they haven't created apps for the service, rendering it somewhat restricted via most of the Android-devices out there, but that's where this topic comes in.

BF3 Battlelog isn't just a stats retriever (unlike what many people seem to think), it's actually a "work-in-progress"-development towards getting the most out of Battlelog in our devices. It gets updated fairly regular (depends on what I'm trying to add) and the feedback so far has been pretty positive. Yes, it does actually need your account information (origins-email and password) to work, but before someone starts to shoot off their "he's gonna steal our passwords"-gun at me, I'd like to point out the following:

The app is open source, ie the source code is available on GitHub for anyone to check out and verify that nothing suspicious is going on. :)

If you (despite the fact that the source is available) still feel nervous regarding your account security, you can either check out the traffic that's being sent from your device (and see that it's going straight to the battlefield.com-server) or decompile (is that the correct term when speaking of .apk-files?) the app to check out the compiled source.

With that said, enough with the wall of text. Here's a list of what you can do in the app so far:

* View player profiles

* View player feeds

* Compare statistics

* View your online friends

* Chat with your friends (even sending offline messages)

* View your upcoming unlocks

There might be some other things too, but I think that sums it up quite good. Hope you people like it! :)

Why do we need to login to Origin?

The BF3 Stats don't require a login.to view the full stats.

Something here is fishy...
[Android Apps and Games] ninetwozero:
Oh for the love of code, I knew this would happen on this forum too, but not at the first post. ;)

This is *NOT* just a stats retriever. You can actually use the COM CENTER (except for the notifications that aren't there at the moment), you can interact with other soldiers (post in their feeds, hooah items, send friend requests) and in the upcoming update (ETA unknown) you'll be able to manage your platoons.

Can the other BF3-apps do that above, without needing you to login? Can you even do it in your web browser, without logging in? ;)

BattleApp was actually a pretty good name, as EA/DICE couldn't copyright-claim it (at least from my point of view). I might change the name somewhere down the road, if I don't somehow get official clearance by DICE themselves. :)
