well the sad thing is - he didn't ask about howto make iphone apps run on android but on the filespecification. So he at least knows what it is - as it seems.

And a simple "how to run iphone app on android"-google would have shown exactly the answer...

So yes - it's just another case of wasting time - his own and ours....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Hello,

This is a a very short review of my imported Nexus from Expansys. This will go over more nitpick feature some us care about about in terms on quality not the phone.

On thing that is strange to me is that I have 4.01 out of the box but mine also came with a US charger, I have read that expansys sent adapters for others. If this is an import how did I get the US charger inside? Did this happen to anyone else?

The phone is very light and impressive, ICS is agreat OS right away.

Screen Issue - My eyes are sharp and within 30 seconds I can see these displays have the same issues as the GSII seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320942

It very obvious on grey's but heard to see in the systems blues. The screen shots in the link is still an issue even though its a pentile display.

Pentile - I hate pentile so much its not funny, I actuallly hope they go out of business but I have to say it way easier on the eyes the the lower resolutions displays. I have to squint to see the ridges but they are still there plain as day.

If you hate pentile I would say that this has a 65-70% chance that this phone will not bother you.

Stutters - I am disappointed that 2 of 5 button press to the app drawer produces that little stutter. I can make it constantly happen and I have installed zero apps yet nor messed with widgets.

I love the phone and don't get me wrong I am not dissing the phone just an impression from someone who has had almost every model that came out.

I did not post anything positive on purpose because so many articles already did a great job of highlighting the good stuff.
[Atrix 4G General] HarEllis:
Hello all i am currently a android freak thanks to the Atrix 4G i knew i wanted the phone the day i heard how awesome it was, but enough about my obsessions.

Before any problems surfaced on my first device it was a refurb and was messed up when i got it, broken fingerprint reader, un responsive screen that opened things on its own etc

After rooting my first atrix and attempting to unlock the bootloader (i thought it was successful) i destroyed my recovery partition so after a quick call atrix number 2 was on its way now my second atrix was running better than the first then afetr root, unlock, romracers recovery, and many darkside roms it sometimes shuts off randomly (which clears up) my music player was stopping, skipping and playing songs super fastforward. sometimes new problems rise and fal before i can properly document them. as a fourm with many users with CM7 on their phones without the fingerprint reader i must ask would using CM7 (no nightly builds) be more beneficial to my day to day use?

currently i am running darkside 3.1.2 with faux kernal 0.2.2. 1.45GHz i am quite the flash junkie so im open to most options but sadly this atrix is my day to day phone so i avoid the more harmful in ym eyes versus the less

i apologize for not being able to post all my problems i have been focused in other aspects o my life
[Nexus S General] thefangedkanga:
Like many others, I jumped on the train to try out all these ICS roms. I have the Nexus S 4G, so I am more limited, but still.

So far, they are really impressive, all being built from source. Lots of people are saying they are super smooth and responsive.

So I tired out AOSP's build, Kwiboo's, Drew Garens, and some of the Kangs. I used Franco's kernel, Matrix, and Glados to see what all worked best.

Results? Nothing compares to CM7 Gingerbread. When people say the ICS roms are quick, they aren't compared to CM7. Clicking on apps open instantly in CM7, settings menu is snappy, and moving between screens has extremely little lag. The ICS roms all had issues of randomly slowing down, but thats almost no existent in CM7. The worst part was the battery life. I don't know if I wasn't doing things correctly, but with minimal use I was draining 8-9% per hour. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27361088/batterylife.png

So I went back to CM7 to see if it was just my phone, or my kernel. I put on Matrix 11.5, and got all set up. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27361088/batterylife2.png

In this picture I was at 76% battery life as well. As you can see, thats MUCH better life.

My question is, has anyone else experienced what I have? I COMPLETELY understand that the ROM's are not perfect, I am not worried about that. I just hear all these AMAZING things about these ICS roms, but I personally don't see it. Just looking for some discussion here, and some other peoples comparisons between Gingerbread and ICS. Thanks to all the devs out there, you guys are great!
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Its a difference between a rom built from source without components from a actually device ota. The performance of ICS roms will take big turn for the better when devs have an official nexus s ota to work with.

If you want the quickest gingerbread experience try Pete's GPA19 bugless beast out.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Perhaps most of us when saying it's quick and responsive, are not trying to make a battle over gingerbread roms......

Perhaps when the term alpha is used and the ROM runs really well it gets us excited for what's down the pipe line.

When I tell people the ics runs smooth on my nexus I'm commenting on how well it runs from the little amount of time that has been spent so far with out pre supplied drivers and kernel. And is described from the Dev as being buggy

Not everything is commented on being nice is not to be precieved as something else is bad.
[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
Of all the ICS roms I've tried, I give the best performance to aosp. Having said that, they're all still not as fast as GB (Oxygen, my preferred). Played with ICS for a few days, did a nandroid backup and went back to Oxygen.

I understand that the devs are working with what they've got but I'm not satisfied with the current iterations as a daily driver. Battery life is not the best, slow transistions sometimes...performance generally is not what I like. It was fun to play with though.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
It is obvious that GB is still faster, it is based on the OTA and it is here for like one year, devs had time to make it mature. ICS is on the beginning, and imo is running very well at this moment. I have installed CM9 alpha 11 with franco´s kernel and it is quite fast and with the same battery life than I was having with GB.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
My ICS is running as fast as I need it for the most part.
[Nexus S General] Waza_Be:
Please don't be stupid.

The Gingerbread ROM you are talking about are 1 year old and have been optimized by many ways!

ICS is just a few weeks old and as only be officially ported to one device (Galaxy Nexus)

Do you remember one year ago, the crappy gingerbread ROM we had?
[Nexus S General] thefangedkanga:
I understand it has been optimized, I am not saying it hasn't.

My point is that people are saying the ICS ROMS are "super fast" "no issues!." I would just like to find out how relative Gingerbread is to ICS. When I say that ICS is fast, I would compare it to Gingerbread fast, which is not the same at all.
[Nexus S General] thefangedkanga:
Alright, I guess I don't understand the actual component side of it. I thought that source was decently close to what a final build would be like (besides drivers and stability of course).

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
When we get the OTA for the nexus s 3g & 4g and Devs get the actual kernel and drivers etc designed for our device we will see a major difference.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
then dont use other people may like the progress so far and comment on it threads related to the ROM. Not creating a thread to say other people are wrong comes off ignorant. Do you have a lot of participation trophies at home?
[Nexus S General] thefangedkanga:
I never said anyone was wrong. Don't be so quick to be a douch.

I agree that there has been a lot of progress, but my point is - there is no relativity when people talk. They say its fast! What does that even mean? I'm not being ignorant, I am just wondering what other people say fast is.
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
For me it was the big turn it took from the SDK port. I tried that and it was slow and laggish and some components didn't work at all.

Then came along the first ICS version built from AOSP and that was already a massive performance increase compared to what we had.

After a few weeks, I call the latest releases 'fast', looking at the iterations it has made. ICS is running smooth-ish here now; no lags while flicking screen, minor lag when open some dialogs.

Lastly I think it helps the devs out a lot if they get feedback on whichever optimization script they put on their release to make it go a bit faster.

[Nexus S General] gogokiller:
I own my Nexus since four days now and I think that ICS ins a little bit faster than 3.3.6 Gingerbread. But I used only the Stock and prefer ICS now.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
oh so your just saying people that like the ICS roms and think they are fast are dead wrong. When I ran I tried it was fast and good battery life, I went back to gb cause of 4g and app compatablity. But your not being ignorant im sorry your telling me my opinion is wrong. Thank you for informing me what "my" opinions are

You must be new to this scene and hopefully you can learn from this. Not every comment on something that is positive is not meant to bash another thing. I can not even understand why if your not telling people they are wrong for forming their own opinion different from yours, that a thread needed to be created. Which even the topic title is flame bait
[Nexus S General] thefangedkanga:
Dude chill out.

I never said anyone is wrong. All I said is that the term fast is relative. I'm not here to bash anyone, or anything. I am just wondering what other peoples experiences are. Stop flaming because you have a different opinion. That's the whole point of this, to get other peoples OPINIONS. Relax.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Who's still disappointed by the keyboard? The response time is near perfect now. I just wish Google would implement some more settings and features, like custom auto corrections.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
I used the stock keyboard for an entire day and it almost killed me, I hate it. Swiftkey X is miles ahead, I cant type in my phone without it.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
You know what also bothers me? The fact that the letter "i" is not automatically capitalized in the middle of the sentence. For example, "Have i shown you my picture?" Why is the "i" not capped, Google?

Argh.
[Nexus S General] Eclair~:
Yes, these ICS builds are no where close to the smoothness, snappiness, and fluidity of Gingerbread ROMs. I was hoping that when the official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA for the Nexus S was released this problem would be remedied. These AOSP builds have not been properly optimized and such to run perfectly on our devices, but for Alphas they are decent. Sadly not my cup of decent. They are annoyingly less quick than Gingerbread builds currently are.
[Nexus S General] chefdave12118:
GIVE ME FROYO OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!!!
[Nexus S General] red_skittles:
The problem is they are running on a hacked together Gingerbread kernel. Once the OTA or propriety drivers for the NS are released ICS will have properly implemented and full hardware acceleration plus all the kernel optimizations for ICS that aren't in the gingerbread kernel. Judging by the speed of ICS builds right now, Im guessing it will be much faster and smoother than gingerbread when the ota is released
[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
I'm glad to hear this. My experience is excactly the same as OP's. But I've never had a phone where I could play around with alpha builds and builds from source without proper kernel and drivers etc, so I have no idea what to expect when Google decides to release the full package for us. But atm PA Bugless Beast is a lot smoother than the ICS builds I've tried. Particularly the launcer has been laggy for me. I really love it in terms of lay out and design, but it's a bit too choppy for my taste. Just read that Cyanogens team will be working on a custom version of that launcher, I have big hopes for that.
[Nexus S General] cttttt:
I agree that performance isn't 100% in ICS. In fact, I'm back on good ol' Blandroid and lets just say it's back to normal again. But there are ways to improve things.

I found that part of the problem with performance was the default cpufreq settings. After setting up one of the builds, I grabbed No Frills CPU Control from market and discovered that the default settings were using the ondemand governor with a frequency range of 100mhz and 1ghz. Changing the low-end to something more reasonable (like 800mhz) or choosing a static governor like performance helped a lot.

Also there's a setting (in the development section of the settings) for forcing GPU acceleration always. This at least feels like it improves performance in scrolling around in some apps.

Finally, the default settings seem to keep all apps running for all of time. Perhaps there are some Nexus Prime specific assumptions made about available memory or something but it gets really slow after a bit. By clamping this to 4 processes (in the development section of the settings) this improves things immensely.

For those still suffering ICS fever, this may improve things. For me though, I've seen all I need to tide me over until the whole thing's in its customer ready state. Hopefully the official builds (paired with kernels customized for ICS by the original developers) will be as snappy as Gingerbread.

[Nexus S General] t1n0m3n:
I was on AOSP ICS and it worked very well, no real issues, until I tried to multitask. When I work out, I have a bio recording app (sportstracker pro) and google music running. I received a call and I almost missed it due to ICS running so slow. After the call ended, it took about 45 seconds to pop up the sportstracker screen again.

ICS is still too slow for me when I multitask heavily. I attribute it to lack of drivers. I went back to CM7 174+GladOS 1.9 for the time being.
[Nexus S General] radianter:
maybe we can see them in official rom
[Nexus S General] LuffyPSP:
First of all, its not even a fair comparison.

[Nexus S General] rubyknight:
People said the same thing when we went from Froyo to GB. aosp ported GB to my Sprint Hero right after source was released and someone started a big flame war over Froyo being better and another dev was talking about how much faster even 2.1 Sense roms were. Once aosp got the bugs out we were all building shrines to gingerbread's awesomess(and aosp's too, despite a bunch of flaming)
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
To me its a no brainer observation that ICS *IS* faster within apps because of GPU acceleration. Gingerbread was never this fast. The issue I think is with launching apps and services. It may be that 512mb just isn't enough anymore for ICS or there's a software issue that will be fixed with the OTA update. The fact that most of my apps are quickly terminated after exiting, it may be a RAM thing.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Do you have it set under dev settings to terminate all background processes
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
Nope, standard. Either default background termination is much more aggressive or ICS just eats up more RAM (and it wouldn't be surprising with it's more robust features).
[Nexus S General] evcz:
maybe this is a stupid question but:

where internet calling (sip voip) went into ICS?

all the "calling settings" disappeared? we cannot even set call deviations and the like anymore from the UI?
[Nexus S General] cttttt:
Yeah. Noticed the same thing but figured I just didn't hunt deep enough. It's reassuring to see I'm probably not blind.

In Gingerbread I wasn't too keen on the built-in voip support so I switched to use cSipSimple. I gave it a try while I was using ICS alphas and it works pretty well where Bluetooth isn't involved: For some reason, cSip crashed while Bluetooth was active every time a call was received or placed.

Anyways, I know it isn't the built in support, but give cSipSimple a shot if ur still in ICS. You probably wont be disappointed.

- chris
[Nexus S General] evcz:
I used in the past csipsimple (and sipdroid too)... but I loved gingerbread integrated sip client!

It had a better integration and was working perfectly :(

Cannot believe they stripped it out completely! :eek:

Are they going to get the attention of the business consumers removing such a great feature???

btw: i'm not even able to get BT working (not starting) on i9023... going to flash a newer CM build in case something got fixed about that... so as for now BT is not a problem in my case :)

will give a try to csipsimple in case I cannot find where they hidden the ICS sip client :S

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

ok... the option is there!!!

to access to the internet calling settings just try to dial a call to an internet contact! it will magically asks you to add a new sip account :)

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

edit... I'm stupid :D

the SIP settings have now been moved into the dialer :D

same for the call deviation :)
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
compare today's ICS roms to the first GB rom that shipped with the nexus s. I would say these ICS roms are doing just fine.

It's really not a good comparison. ICS is undoubtedly quality software, we just need a hardware specific release to come out.

It appears at this point in time you can only set a single reminder per event on the tablet itself, but it has no problems for me selecting several different events to all show reminders.

You CAN however set multiple reminders per event if you go online to google.com/calendars and edit (or create) your event online. You can create more than one reminder per event here, and select different types of reminders too (SMS, email, phone alarm)
