The GNex screen actually looks bad for some things, like reading this forum. The white background looks off-white, and the pixels almost seem to mess with my eyes, almost like they want to start shimmering. On the other hand, this screen looks awesome for angry birds. Also on my DInc, black is as black can be, with brightness at 100%. The HTC desk clock app, you can not see the edges of the screen in complete darkness. On the GNex, you can with a similar type of image, though still pretty black compared to LCD.

Aside from screen size and resolution, how does the SLCD on the Rezound compare to the DInc 2?

I am loving my Rezound. I played with my friend's Nexus and the build quality is terrible. I'm glad I didn't wait... No regrets whatsoever.
[HTC Rezound] BABABANG:
I think I've made my decision. I'm returning the Nexus. I absolutely abhor Verizon for their $35 restocking fee, but it's a necessary evil. Not to mention I have to return a ton of accessories I bought for the Nexus.

I guess I am, and always will be, and HTC guy. Thanks for all the help guys.

I switched from Sprint to Verizon yesterday and got the Nexus. After 2 hours of leaving the store I was questioning my decision. Woke up early this morning played with the Nexus, setting up and so on. After an hour hopped in my truck, headed to BB and picked up the Rezound. Couldn't be happier...Nexus was all hype and a big let down. Poor build, battery was awful,and just too many negatives for me. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps . Btw not new too android. Hero-EVO-nexus s-EVO3D-EPIC Touch. Never returned a phone that fast .

Reposting this

I bought my Rezound the 15th of Nov and picked up my Gnex the 15th of December, so for me, I had plenty of time to get accustomed to it and in the end I honestly don't miss it. The only thing I do miss is USB Mass storage. It made getting stuff done much faster as it was native access to the storage.

Few things, I like the USB at the bottom of the phone, it was something I never understood with the Incredible and the Rezound was the same way. The headphone is at the bottom unlike the Rezound, and to me, there is no great place for it, one time you want it somewhere and the next you want it somewhere else. That was a non factor.

But anyways, the hardware, sure the Rezound might have some nice hardware but almost nothing ever gets optimized for the Adreno GPUs, it's unfortunate but they are much better on paper than what actually happens.

Battery life-they both suck. Both the Rezound and the Gnex get piss poor battery life. I don't have 4G in my area so it was CDMA mode only and both phones would need to be recharged at least once a day under moderate usage.

Camera-again, another area where both phones arent that great. Whether its the software or not, both phones left my shaking my head with the image quality, dark scenes especially (although this is to be expected).

Screen-Rezound is sharper, and the Gnex shows a real black. The Gnex obviously suffers the annoying characteristics of pentile, there is no getting away from it but on the other hand the amazing contrast offered with AMOLED makes for a much better experience for those that like it. That and the poor quality control of HTC and their hard menu keys back light leaking onto the screen, that really got to me. The curved glass of the Gnex also feels better. It is one of those little things that makes the slightest difference.

Build quality-In some areas the Rezound feels better and in other areas the Gnex feels better. The back of the Rezound feels more like it was meant to be held with its soft skin as opposed to the slippery plastic of the Gnex. make no mistake, both phones you can feel the plastic. I am also happy to get away from the reds used by HTC for a change. I liked their old touch pro/touch pro 2 that I had before. The Gnex feels more like those that I loved so much.

The beats ear buds mean nothing to me as I detest having things in my ear. Sure I could sell them, but i'm still stuck with the phone that I bought. To me the extra ~$100 was not worth having the Rezound.

This coming from someone with the original Incredible, I couldn't stand to be away from my AMOLED.

Unfortunatly for me, both phones seem compromised in some way and its about which you want more.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I've been doing a lot of comparison between screens, my HTC Incredible (AMOLED), my girl's Incredible 2 (SLCD), and my Nexus (AMOLED).

It's really a matter of preference, more than what is better. For me, each screen is suited better depending on the task.

I find reading on the SLCD screen is better. Screen color is warmer, while the AMOLED looks dull. Neither of the AMOLED's exhibit the usual pentile complaints, so text sharpness is fine on both. Between the two AMOLEDs, the Incredible is easier on the eyes for me, despite the smaller screen.

On the other hand, watching video (Katy Perry's ET is a good video to compare with) looks better on the AMOLED, this is where that black level really makes the difference. Also with that video, lighting in that video appears more purple on the SLCD, while more blue on the AMOLED.

The SLCD seems to have better overall brightness, but this could be worse for battery life.

Playing a game, such as Angry Birds Rio, looks great on both! Again, the AMOLED makes the background look more blue, while the SLCD looks more purple.

My conclusion: unless you constantly live in the dark, and are always using a dark theme, both screens look great, and the differences only stand out when the screen are side by side.

Since I really wanted the Nexus for it's screen, and with what I said above, I might just have to return the Nexus for the Rezound.

[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
well think about it, ever compared a modern day Samsung TV vs a Sony TV? Samsung tvs are like the amoled screens they use, real over saturated fake colors. Sony tvs have very natural life like colors.

Samsung and Sony LCD screens come from the same plant, yet have radically different pictures.

Having seen the $2500 concept Sony XEL-1 11" OLED tv from a few years ago, I can tell you right now, that these kind of screens do NOT have to look like the samsung screens do. That is Samsungs idea of what a good picture is, ya know, FAKE.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Though my samsung led looks amazing. And it is the same trim style as my sync 550 led monitor. So they look sexy together :-D Lol.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I think HTC puts the micro usb on the side so they can sell you car docks and home docks that you don't need a cable to connect in landscape. Makes sense, just annoying because most times you can't use your phone in landscape and having it charge without the dock.

If you are having problems with the rezound camera, I think it might be user error. It takes much better pictures than the Nexus, which seems to have trouble focusing.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
So had anyone switched from the Nexus to the Rezound? I'm thinking of doing this soon (before Jan 15th). I hear some people have issues with the battery heating up, and battery life is comparable. Other than that, everything about the Rezound seems better than the Nexus. I held out for the Nexus for it's screen, and even compared to my Incredible, it's a little disappointing.

I know someone on here was selling a JTAG for $150. I'm assuming around that price range.
[General Questions and Answers] tohno:

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Because it is an expensive piece of equipment.

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
$150 jtag unit? Now that would be cheap Indeed. Been awhile sense I looked for one but they seem to have come down alot if that is a real price.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
JTAG is a device, a physical hardware device, something you connect to your phone and a computer, the price varies, just google it.

A device a repair center has such a device.

With money to buy one and enough knowledge, you can do it yourself.

As you messed with bootloaders/custom roms/root, your device is no longer covered by warranty, so repair through the manufactors repair center will most likely not be free.

i could get a like new G2X for 350 with an extended 1980 battery for $350

or a brand new galaxy nexus for 650 + tax

what would you guys get?

i really want the galaxy nexus but theres some things i don't like about it like no gorilla glass and the speakers not that loud, but theres major pluses but ill be basically paying twice as much than the g2x

what should i do :( so confused
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I wouldn't touch an LG phone. Ick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Speakers: Volume+ and set it to +8.... Volume fixed.

Gorilla Glass: meh. it has some kind of protection on the glass, unsure whats the name but keys dont scratch it apparently.

Long term speaking. Galaxy Nexus will be a good development device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoissuperman:
I work at tmo and I would get the G2X over samsung anything. To be completely honest tho HTC all the way even a sensation would rock. Still my favorite phone even after I bought the amaze :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
And that's why you're using a Sidekick 4G right?

Stock Android experience + updates directly from Google is the best way to go to. Not to mention the amazing display that Samsung always offers. People always complain about Samsung phones are all plasticy.

Its plastic but it's built very durable and can survive falls a lot better than these other phones. It's also lighter, vivid and vibrant display that will make you be impressed in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
I really hope this was a trick question. If i were you i will not EVEN look/touch/think about the G2x. All i will tell you is do your research on that phone. In fact i will say get the Sensation/GII. Even if someone gives me a G2x right now i will not even touch it. So if getting the remaining dollar to get the GN is an issue then get then seriously look at the Sensation OR GII.

PS: in the long run you will want the GN.

No ones a fanboy. We just simply love the "Pure Google Experience." I'll be honest about being a fanboy about Samsung's displays, they're gorgeous :)

It all depends on the person. If you're the person that wants the latest and newest version of Android. Galaxy Nexus will do you well, you can counter-argue this by talking about custom ROMs and all that. But you know what? it's up to the manufacturer of the phone to provide a 3.X.X version of the kernel. Without that, you are limiting development for that particular phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoissuperman:
All i can say is WOW you don't know what you are talking about. G2X is way closer to a GOOGLE ANDROID experience. I can't even beleive i am sticking up for LG anything except that the new mytouch is awesome even tho all thoughts were a bit scary, turned out to be a very nice device. After 2 updates on G2X i have not been able to freeze it up since. I give up. By what he says then if your in phoenix i'll gladly override your restock so you can get something other than touchwiz.

I'd say if your keeping it for awhile GN. I wanted my Atrix for the hardware, knowing software is going to be replaced ... multiple times ... a week. I wanted to play with webtop, fingerprint scanner, etc. Now I have BU of ROM w/Linux & Chrome for the lapdock days, CM7 reading my fingerprints, and miui which I'm running now. The only thing that catches my eye is the GN ONLY because of the Nexus part. It's a personal choice. I wouldn't really wanna touch Samsung with LG's d!ck. Hardware means HTC or Motorola for me. I keep my phones and though they're both great beasts, there's only one button - less beast ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoissuperman:
I agree with you on the nexus part. HTC owns, but the nexus line only exist's because samsung holds out. I really do not prefer either option but based on what i have tested the answer is G2X even tho it was a nightmare before gingerbread, the phone is solid now. Add CM to it and wow!

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S 4G today, and I hate the GUI. I like HTC sense 3.0/3.5 better because I am more used to it.

Has anyone successfully ported HTC sense to this phone? Is there a downloadable ROM I can use?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
I've never seen any ROMs with sense ports. Your best bet short of learning to dev and doing it yourself would be try some launcher replacement apps such as ADW or Go launcher and find a decent sense-like theme.

Would that change the app icons? Samsung complete messed up the app icons and I can't find the hotspot app at all :\
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Most themes will change the icons, yeah. You'll have to spend a little time experimenting to find what is best for you.

Also, there is no hotspot app. If your plan allows hotspot use you can activate it by going to Settings>Wireless And Network>Tethering and Hotspot

itll be called mobile AP

After that work can continue to update the device configuration for CM9.

If $ is not an issue, prime. I got my wife a kindle fire and for a basic tab it's great for $199
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I know this gets said often, but I would wait until March/April if you can. The main reason is that the iPad 3 should be released and there will probably be a few quad-core Android tablets. So even if you would be happy with a Tegra 2 tablet, those devices will drive the price down on the older models. However, if you don't care and you just want something NOW, then I would get the Prime. Biggest bang for the buck in that it costs $100 less than a comparable iPad 2 and most of the other Tegra 2 tablets out there. (I always laugh when people say it costs the same, but they compare a 32gb Prime against a 16gb whatever)

Well, if you want the 7" form factor with stylus support, a Flyer at $299 isn't half bad.

So....sure, it's a valid recommendation for a specific audience.

Flyer - great for people that take lots of notes ( students?)

Xoom - This is what I have and i haven't had any issues with it. Just that its a bit on the heavy side
