Forums are designed to hear more complaints than gratification...people spend more time trying to find something wrong with their devices instead of just enjoying them. All forums are full of this OCD behavior. You have to face it that majority of the owner who enjoy thier devices are not posting how much they love them. They are rooting, adding Roms, or just nothing and letting it be a friggin phone.

I love my GN...sure it has a few bugs but if you keep waiting for the next best thing then you will never buy anything. Just buy what you like try it out and form your own opinions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I was told to try the Pure google phone experience because I didn't care for the SGS2 touch wiz or the UI either way I tried the Nexus S at Sprint yerterday and today again to make sure what my feelings were about it and it had the same old specs 5mp camera and it was slow as **** and dull dull dull :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are 2 very different things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
Nexus s has gingerbread for the time being unless you root, and the UI is way different from ICS. All of the reviews I have read say the interface changes in ICS are for the better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
If you have a SGS2 then there is no reason to upgrade. I passed on the SGS2 because I wanted Google to be in charge of my updates instead of Samsung. Considering the galaxy s only went up to gingerbread and they're not gonna update it even though it's capable of running ice cream sandwich I don't see any compelling reason to leave samsung in charge of my updates. The development community will pull through but you have to admit the roms would work a lot better if they had a nice stock kernel to pull from as well as the source code provided by OEM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well your talking about the GSM version. What about Verizon. See I heard the opposite, that it was getting better reception then some of the newer phones out... razer and rezound.

There really aren't lots of complaints about the phone itself outside the, already fixed, volume bug.

Just like the volume bug, see how quickly it was fixed? This is why we choose the Nexus phones. Other phones would have gone for weeks or months before a new fix. This is the reason.

As far as the camera... 5mp with instant shutter > 8mp with 5second shutter. Sure I'd rather have a 8mp with instant shutter, but whatever. Out of all the photos I take, 5% end up on Facebook and the rest go to waste in a folder.

I dunno. I have different reasons for getting a Nexus. I would keep my G2x otherwise until quads come out. The Nexus is the one phone on Verizon that isn't locked down by their BS policies and bootloaders... and work pays for my Verizon line. Galaxy Nexus = +$80 a month I save.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Apples vs Oranges....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
At least it's not Apples vs. Blackberries
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JDaSilva:
I find your points invalid. Not to argue but just throwing out my opinion considering I've had the device for the day and have compared it to my friend's 4S and a GS2.

1) The network problem that people have been having doesn't seem to be a problem. It's not because of the device to say the least as no one outside of the US has whined about it.

2) ICS has got to be the best Android OS to date. Not because it's new, but because it is the most refined and by far the smoothest experience for any mobile OS. I prefer it over iOS 5.

3) For any regular person, 5 MP is great. Especially with the zero-lag shutter which I have to say worked amazingly in my test. Compared to 8 MP you can honestly barely tell the difference. If you require that much quality from a digital camera then you should invest in an actual decent camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I'm as big of a stock Nexus fan as the next person (own the Gnex, sold the SGSII for it, for example) but the search button bug is still not fixed on the Nexus S.

So, Google isn't held to a "do no wrong" standard...they are faster than regular manufacturers for updates, but we are never guaranteed perfection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
My first sgn has most definitely had reception / no signal in low cell service areas. However any other phones in the area whether its an iPhone or an android are still able to make calls when my nexus cant. I have a replacement device coming to see if its a radio issue.i will say though that any where there is a good signal the thing screams. However the signal also drops in those areas and doesn't recover. Hopefully its just mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axtn95:
Thank you, couldn't of said it better myself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
My point to the OP is that if you into each & every phone thread here on XDA, you find that every phone has pages & pages of complaints. Therefore, no matter if a new phone is released today or 6mos from now, this will continue to be the case for those too. I guess I dont understand what the OP really want anyone to say. I try things for myself and base my opinion. I certainly dont base my buying decision solely on what forum posters say because going into it i alrdy know that most posting are going to be negative. That is the case in EVERY phone thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
This phone rocks. Period. I am loving it more every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
If the OP has a problem with #2 on his list, then google nexis devices aren't for him. Tech geeks buy these phones cause they come with the bleeding edge of android OS technology. And with that comes bugs, things that may not be finished, ect. Plus we usually like to tinker with stuff, break and fix it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
If you don't want to be a guinea pig for Google, then don't get a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukesky:
it's good that OP doesn't like the GN, then all the more stock for the rest of us!:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
I agree that Google can't/won't/refuses to fix everything.

As with my N1, soon to be bestowed to my brother, the glitchy touchscreen issue was NEVER fixed, probably a hardware issue that they were too embarrassed about to ever admit. Really google??? How do you screw up the touchscreen on a touchscreen phone??

Which basically blew any faith I had in google and/or HTC's manufacturing/quality control ability.

I'm really really hoping that's improved and the GN is a winner. Mine arrives Monday.

So, fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice...? :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
HTC blows chunks compared to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
OP, if you think MP count says anything about the quality of a camera you need to do a bit of learning. My six year old 3MP compact will still blow away a modern 12MP phone camera!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordLugard:
Actually i saw myself going back to GB on my Nexus S 4G after using ICS 4.0.1 on my NS4G for 2 days. A lot of the transition/U.I fluff i didn't care for, just made things slower, turned them off. I did like the redesign of the Google apps but Gmail is slow as molasses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
*opinion based on an alpha and as such cannot have any bearing on anything

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
Yeah and I decided I don't want an Audi because I drove a cadillac and didn't like it......didn't like the features of the cadillac so that's why I don't like Audi.. geez..can't believe two people in the thread actually did this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
If you're a SGS2, it's is getting ICS so no need to sideways upgrade to a GN.

The SGS2 is a superior phone.

Gn's screen is only better. Too many minuses, not enough pluses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
<---- this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I disagree. What about sound? Resolution? Camera speed? Google? And cyanogen team directly working on it and kondik probably working directly with samsung on it? But yeah, if you have gs2 already its just a sideways upgrade.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
I personally think that is a major plus. I'd rather have a better screen and NFC and better HSPA+ better developer support and better build quality than a better camera and... er... well what else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hassan:
Here is phone arena thoughts on SGN VS SGS II
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
I'm not an aesthetics-first kinda guy but does no-one else find the SGSII butt-ugly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
I find the international version to be ugly...and quite frankly a bit iPhone-like. No thanks to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athani:
+ 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I'm pretty sure the only specs (that matter) they share are:

5 MP camera

NFC

Contour screen

Differences are:

Processor (GN is dual core 1.2(+) GHz- vs. the 1 GHz single core in the Nexus S)

Screen size

Screen Resolution

OS version

"Instant" shutter on the GN

Enhanced sensor (?) on the GN to boost low-light performance

next-gen HSPA+ radio (NS has a 14 MBPS HSPA radio I think- that could be wrong though- GN has a 21 MBPS radio)

etc.

The specs most certainly are not "same old"- especially the camera & camera performance (which I think you meant that to reference). Sure the image size will be the same (that's really all the 5MP means, 8MP zooms "better" because it can crop further down), but I find the image quality more than satisfactory on the GN...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
You are trying to compare a single core 1Ghz phone with a dual core 1.2/1.5Ghz phone. Of course the dual core will be faster unless you are high on some psychedelic stuff :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
wouldn't it be Apple vs Pears... (android green :p )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Totally. I have to admit, even if I had a buggy / crazy GN, the Galaxy Nexus aesthetically is one sexy piece of hardware (even before turning it on!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
the instant shutter thing is not really exclusive of ICE or GN

the SGS2 also has instant shooting, there's no delay, as long as you have enough empty storage space, you can keep on hitting the shoot button and it saves the picture without delay, and without interfering with your next shot

also instant Google+ upload works in SGS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Thanks, I didn't know that. As big of a deal as they made about it at the announcement/ unveiling in Hong Kong I assumed it was new. Nexus S doesn't have it (yet- I wonder if it is mostly software and will be included with ICS?) though

Yeah, that works in any phone that the G+ app installs on (worked on my Atrix) if you enable it in settings. It does seem a little more immediate (integrated a little better maybe?) in the GN though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Actually, the GS2 has NFC and the same HSPA+ (at least the AT&T version does). Build quality is about the same.

Err...you're wrong. I have a Galaxy S II and the camera is fast, but it's not instant, by any means. With the Nexus you can just tap the shutter button a few times and it'll take the shots. The GS2 if you tap a few times it'll take a few, but all but the first will be delayed. It absolutely *is* a new feature of the Galaxy Nexus.

Ice Cream Sandwich does improve the shutter speed (even on older model phones), but the combination of the 2 are what lets the Galaxy Nexus have the "instant shutter".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
The reason a lot of people feel the Galaxy S II is on par with the Galaxy Nexus is due to the fact Samsung choose not to make the Galaxy Nexus cutting edge. As long as Samsung is making the Nexus line the Nexus phone will be equal or less to Samsung's flagship phone. That is why you don't see an 8 mp camera or a Super Amoled Plus screen on the Galaxy Nexus. I bet you as soon as Jan comes you will hear about the Galaxy S III which will be a better version of the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheSobadef:
This is not quite true, as the design choices are all made by Google, rather than Samsung who is merely the manufacturer.

The reason you see a 5 MP camera, is because Google found it to be sufficient, and it was also easier to develop instant shutter with it.

The reason the phone doesn't have Super Amoled Plus, is because the technology can't handle such a 720p resolution with such a small size, so they downgraded to Super Amoled.

The reasons for all the other "drawbacks" like the lack of an SD card port are all due to design choices made by Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luger718:
12MP on a cellphone sized sensor will probably have alot of image noise

MP != quality
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VidXp:
Nexus Galaxy vs Nexus S?

Apples vs olives :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Are you kidding me about the "instant" shutter on the SGSII????

Mine took like 2 seconds .... easily to snap a photo.

Missed many pet photo opps due to this lag. eBayed it with pleasure.

There is no lag with the GNEX. Finally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoSimatic:
If im not mistaken the Nexus will have a pentile display, not the super amoled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
The "Super" does not mean RGB, the "+" does

So it is a Super Amoled HD, HD just let u know it is HD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clyzm:
I like you.

Why don't more people understand this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoSimatic:
Did not know that AMOLED and Pentile did not have to be mutually exclusive. So the NEXUS is a Super AMOLED screen with a Pentile RGBG submatrix. Anyone with the phone care to comment on if its grainy or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] okplaya:
It use to be Android vs iOS but now it seems to be Android vs Android. The entire argument over iOS vs Android was that each side felt like they chose the "best device", and if you questioned that then you were questioning their decision making in general. I think all of the folks with the GS2 felt like they had the "best device" and now the GN people are saying "it's the best". So the GS2 folks are feeling a need to justify why they have the best device. Truth is, the "best device" is really "the best device for you" regardless of what others say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Sing it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clyzm:
Exactly this.

Do you like Touchwiz, an excellent quality camera, and really need expandable memory? Go with a GS2

Do you like stock android, instantaneous updates from google, a really fast camera, and a bit more pixel density? GN for you.

Opinons. Everyone's got one, no need to try to force it on others.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] paranoid133:
I would like to edit the carrier text in the upper left corner of my phone. I am running the 1.11.25 miui rom. I have searched the internet and it seems like on most other phones this text is located in the eri.xml file. This is not the case for the Thunderbolt, I have checked several roms and it is not located in this file on any of them.

Does anyone know the location of the file necessary to edit this item.

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Xirix12:
I don't know if you got your answer elsewhere, but you need extended settings. Check out the Carrier Logos thread in the android themes section. The instructions and details on how to do it. You can add images or simply type anything and you can even put it to the right side if you want. Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wdustin1:
I want to have a custom camera shutter noise anybody know the best way to do this. I went to root explorer and found camera click but I replaced it with another noise just to see if it would work and it did not. If somebody could just guide me to the right files I would appreciate it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pironic:
try copying with adb in a su session.

adb= program on your computer that will communicate with your debug mode phone.

su session = once in adb you can start a shell. then you can start an 'su' session which is like admin mode.

it seems like you've already found the camera noise files... replacing them as root/admin might be the trick you need?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psych0phobia:
Actually, if you're using the built in camera app, the files you're interested in are inside the /res/raw folder of Camera.apk.

Hi,

I am using KK4 rom with Kk4 Modem on Captivate i897.

When I go into Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Network operators, it just shows Default setup which is greyd out (but it connects to my network operator just fine)

How do I get it to display the list of availalbe networks and let me select the network?

I tried google and XDA forum, and wasn't able to find much information.

The only post I've found was from Infuse forum where someone suggested that ATT has locked this function in the modem level and flashing Rogers modem will fix it for Infuse.

I flashed Rogers KH2 modem, but it is still not displaying the list of networks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Even my SGS II has that grayed out...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
I think they are greyed out on network locked phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Doesn't matter if the phone is locked or not, mine is unlocked and it's still greyed out. (I'm still using at&t)

And this is on an I9000 ROM/kernel/modem, at&t has nothing to do with this set up at all.

I'm sure it would be the same if i had a tmobile Sim in. Think about it, the only network you can connect to with a carrier specific Sim, is that network.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
So, does this leave the door open for a universal Sim? Hmmm
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamp:
Maybe it's specific to Samsung phones (or Gingerbread)?

My previous 2 Android phones (HTC Magic and HTC Legend, both were running Froyo) did allow me to manually select the network.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
just make a backup and then do what you normally do. You should be pretty safe as the transformer has NVFlash incase you brick it. (I clear the cache whenever I am having problems, I usually don't do it every time i upgrade my rom)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sigismund83:
1. Do a nandroid backup!! - it will save you a lot of trouble in case something goes wrong

2. Do what the ROM developer recommends - usually just wipe data, caches or run some sort of a superwipe script, etc...

Here is the problem:

I recently purchased a 32gb memory card reformatted it then tried to transfer my files to the card but while transferring them the card suddenly un-mounts. After this happens I get a message on my phone that says blank card or unsupported file system. Tried to reformat but it doesnt work. I tried to format it in clockwork recovery no luck, tried with phone connected USB no luck.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:
Bad card? sd slot contacts? What brand of card? Will another device or computer read and/or format it?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrake400:
I think it may be a bad card. It works until I try to transfer files or write to the card. I'm just going to ask for a refund and buy a better brand of card.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:
try it in another device/computer preferably, no point in getting another if it is the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrake400:
Tried it in my wifes mytouch slide and an other phone we have and had the same issue
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:
Then try their card in yours, if it works then k.i.s.s. It's the card that's no good :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] antinerd:
I had a similar issue with a 16GB card a year or so ago. I put the 16 GB card into a MicroSD to USB adapter (not in a phone), and plugged directly into one of my computer's USB ports, and re-formatted the card. I have had no issues with my card since then.
