I was bored so I went to mall to check out new galaxy nexus and ran Antutu benchmark on a few phones.

I'm uploading the pics here:

This is the comparison between our phone and galaxy nexus:

These are other phones:

And this is our phone on Icscrewed at 1.6 GHz.

I'm surprised that nitro hd performed so good!

I know these benchmark do not mean a lot but they definitely reflect something.

My GF has a Galaxy Nexus. Been playing with it for a solid day and a half now, freaking love it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ceo.mtcl:
Wow man! Your miui scores are pretty amazing.

Galaxy nexus is amazing phone. The interface looks amazing. I couldn't not want it right away at store. Wish they release the att version soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
Thanks! I really want a Nexus, such a great phone. 4G tested 10mbps in Tampa, FL. After 20hrs with her 4G turned off she was only at 39% battery with heavy usage. I want my girlfriends phone, that sucks to say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ceo.mtcl:
I totally understand your thoughts right now. I feel for you. I want it as bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
i would use a Galaxy Nexus if it had 32GB and Google Wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gharris040604:
it does have 32 gigs and wallet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
So would you guys swap your Sgs2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
Yes mainly because of this, and I've been using one for about two days now, I love the phone and the screen.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/south-rises-again-with-verizon-in-store-trade-in-program/5647
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
so in other words only because of that deal. so tech for tech the Nexus isnt really worth it, I mean thats how i feel, am I wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
After being able to use it for two days, I mean my girlfriend has it so I have unlimited use of it, I would say I want to wait and see how ICS looks on our phones first before I "jump ship". Honestly I still feel like my display is better and the Galaxy Nexus is a big phone in my hand. So yes in other words it's only because of that deal.

Side note, the camera on the Galaxy Nexus isn't great at all compared to our phones. We took pictures of the same thing last night, my camera obviously had crazy better detail to the picture, she was sad. But the zero shutter lag is epic. So with ICS on our phones, I don't know if there will be a phone out that I will like better imo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
This echos how I feel exactly, already with the ROMs and kernels I have on my SGS2 i wouldnt trade it when either CM9 or ICS arrives I as well think nothing until the SGS3 will touch it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Seraphace:
I don't understand how you got scores that high? What is MUIU? I had 4.0.3 Code's rom and Franco's kernel and only scored in the 4000's, which upset me. I recently wiped and put on Trinity's kernel with AOKP and got 6250. Anything I can tweak? I'm not seeing scores in the 7000 range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clor01:
It's okay my friend. It's not the size of the boat its the motion of the ocean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
I would just like to add my 2 cents. I have compared my gs2 side by side with a verizon gnex and can safely say I would rather have my phone. The colors and overall picture quality of the screen is better on the gs2 and the gs2 is faster. I also did a boot test to see which phone booted up quicker and ours won by a long shot and we have the unfair advantage of running gingerbread. Just wait till we get ics. That is one advantage it has over our phones. the other being how fast it is able to snap pictures. that thing can fire off some pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Miui + siyah kernel + 1400 = 7000+ for me

Illusion rom can net you 7000+ as well (what I'm running now, also why it shows 9100)

I wouldn't trade my phone for a Gnex. There really is no gain for me. I prefer the look of the i777 anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
miui + siyah @ 1400 = 7200+ @ 1600 = 7900!

EM EYE YOU EYE!

SIYAH nara to the rest, im rollin with the best.

SGS2 I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phonepsycho:
Yeah theres not much of a comparison when you know what you're doing.:) This is a first bench off of my new rom. I took an I9100 ICS rom and made it work for my I777 device with some file swaps/tweaks from an I777 rom. Took a few different "versions" to get it right but....yes EVERYTHING works with no bugs. It actually works better than the older ICS rom that was designed for the I777. I expect to hit mid 8000's with a few more tweaks, maybe much higher.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Everything is much more smooth with ICS.

Did you by any chance get the screen on/off, calling, and back/search buttons fixed in ICS? If so, please share how, as I love ICS but these issues are getting at me.

Galaxy SIII?? ;)

played with my daughters boyfriend's Nexus and it was VERY nice but personally thoughts of the Galaxy SIII being released in a few months has me pumped, ICS on a even more powerful Galaxy then the nexus it's going to be by far the best smartphone we've ever owned.. yes??

Ok it came out 4 weeks later but I swear I never saw that one coming when I jumped on the GSII on its release day.. Not sure I would have gone for it but sure would have been nice to know it was coming..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moeaz05:
hey guys is there anyway i can unlock the atrix without calling att or spending any money? for my s2, there was an app on the market that did everything. i thought that unlocking the boot loader would let me use another sim, so now i am unlocked and rooted on 2.3.4. but it did not work. Cant i just flash a rom that unlocks my sim, if so what rom?:confused:

THANKS
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiftheboss7:
it's easy. Just go to AT&T support page & choose live agent. If you don't get anyone now just wait 5/6 minutes till anyone becomes free. When anyone start chatting with you simple tell your need. He'll ask your IMEI. Give it & he'll give you the unlock code instantly :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moeaz05:
Contacting AT&T is not an option. I do not have a account. Is there any other way I can do it without contacting AT&T or spending money? My phone has unlocked boot loader and is on rooted 2.3.4.

I don't have an AT&T account either,I started the live chat and told them that it was a gift, they gave me the the unlock code after checking the IMEI
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knights.JayTana:
NOTE is one of best Gaming Android phone to date, IMO... i mean, 5" is most ideal for gaming IMO, controls on each side doesnt intrfere on the game play because of the screen size, Loudspeaker is loud, not to mention the AMOLED display... i was playing Shadowgun an hour ago, its just awesome...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YFY:
Couldn't agree with you more.

I am having a similar experience.

Great phone & mini Tab.;):o:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knights.JayTana:
i have a feeling that itll be the next HD2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YFY:
Strange that you mentioned it. I have an old HTC HD2 which I am keeping it.

It is a great phone and I am still using it for its GPS capability. Using Garmin and Papago GPS for local navigation. We have very detailed maps and POI for my country [supplied FOC by a very dedicated group of mappers called MFM].:):o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I think that SE Xperia Play is better suited for games. It has a REAL joystick that is always with you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cybermessiah:
I bought SonicCD and loaded it up on my Note. It works perfect and the Notes screen runs it beautifully. Then I loaded it up on my old Desire and, boy, was there a huge difference. The Notes screen definately won hands down.:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
it doesnt have a real analog stick. it uses a touch pad instead.

the xperia play design was good, but it was let down by the hardware. like really, 1ghz single core snapdragon with adreno 205... launching after their competitors release dual core phones with better gpus... and charging just as much as the dual core phones...

hopefully with sony ericcson being consumed by sony, it will lead to an xperia play2 with better internals.

gaming phones next year will be much more interesting. 28nm manufacturing means much more performance at much lower temps with better battery life. im keen on seeing tegra 3+ vs the quadcore 2.5ghz snap dragon...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Can't wait for the Tegra 3 or the new Exynos chipsets that are being released.

The quadcore Snapdragon isn't going to be good if it's anything like it's dual core 1.5ghz predeccesor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Im not big into games, but Shadowgun is sick. I cant believe how awesome it is on the Note.

Check out dead space
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phylar:
I got Backstab HD and Asphalt 6 during the 10 days special for my Xoom, but notice they aren't available for the Note. I wonder if spoofing the SGSII would work to at least get them installed and data downloaded?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TeeeJaay:
Asphalt 6 is available for free in the Samsung App Market
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] theimaginaryage:
It's a shame there's no good DS emulators around - the screen is almost exactly the size of the two DS screens, plus it has the stylus and the microphone...

Nonetheless the Note is the best mobile gaming experience I've had in twenty years of playing video games. The screen size is perfect, and so many games play so much better with the stylus. The battery lasts longer than my 3DS, and though I haven't got a Vita yet I imagine it's a similar situation there. MHL means I can play most games on large screens if I want. Android means I can emulate all my favourite old games in one convenient package. And the gaming ecosystem for Android is getting really great right now, most games are seeing release on the Market instead of just iOS. The Note is specced to be right at the forefront of that right now, hindered only (slightly) by its non-Tegra-ness.

Seriously, the gaming utility of this device alone justifies the purchase for me, not even considering its myriad other functions. And today Samsung announces that it's first in line for ICS! I know I'm ranting, but I just couldn't be happier with this phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phylar:
Has anyone gotten SimCity Deluxe to work? I have the NA version, and it just hangs at downloading with "NaN 0mb / 0mb" (looks like it tried to do some dividing by 0 hehe).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
thats the thing i found disappointing about the vita. the psp had the option of being connected to a TV via component out, yet the vita does not have hdmi. i mean sure, it does have dual touchpads which could make it a bit clunky, but i was really expecting a home console in your pocket. plus, im not happy that sony decided to disable the fourth core of the vita at the last moment. you cant advertise its a quad core when one of the cores is disabled...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
Sorry If theres a thread like this anywhere, but i once heard that small retailers should be having a different release date. I looked around and couldn't find an ETA

for small retailers in canada anywhere.

I'm sure it must be different for many small stores, but i general estimate would be greatly appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
None have a date here in canada yet. NCIX I have contacted and they do not have a date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
I said an ETA. No one has an estimate of when it will be released in canada for small retailers?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Nope. Even big retailers like BB and FS says they have no ETA from Asus. We are probably looking at January for bigger retailers and some time after that for others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
ouch, that bites the big one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Not sure why they put up preorders so early when they can't even delivery their products a month later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
NCIX emailed me that they should come in either late last week (obviously didn't happen), early next week, or not at all this year... So vague. The fact that American retailers are shipping them to online customers is really pissing me off... Anyways, that's what I know. I don't know if I'll be waiting much longer than early next week (week of the 19th) for it to ship.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
If it is not possible to get mine here in Canada.. I will more then likely just buy from the states. I do not know if NCIX is a big store compared to BB or FS. they were on their Pre order page.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Well, I've sort of had this issue on EK02 as well. Maybe its not the modem, maybe it's actually the towers. The issues I experienced with EK02 were messages being failed to be sent and contacts showing as "No Caller ID" when receiving a call. EL13 solved that "No Caller ID" bug for me, however, it made my network crazy at times. My phone's cell network constantly changes to roaming, and messages are being failed to be sent. However, although my phone says that the message didn't send, people still received them, so I never bothered hitting resend. I just want to know if others are experiencing similar problems, or it's really just an issue on Sprint's side.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrush:
I've been having similar issues previously with ek02 and now el13. Poor 3g speeds where I had no problem before, erratic signal bars and roaming in areas where it shouldn't be. I feel like eg31 was the most stable one Ive had so far. Contemplating flashing back but then I feel like I'm not compatible with the most current ROM builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I didn't even mention the speeds since I thought it was common knowledge. It was good when the EVO 4G launched a year ago, at least in NJ. And same here for me, I want to be on the latest version, especially this one where Carrier IQ is removed by default. I'm running all stock btw, but just added root when it came out for EL13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
The bugs I've noticed on EL13 are: when calling someone, and they answer, or them calling you and you answer, it'll turn on speakerphone automatically. Also, Vlingo will activate and keep saying "how can I help you?" repeatedly while composing a text message until you force stop the app. A reboot fixes it for a while, but it will come back eventually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
If you have headphones in and are at the dialer, and you push the headphones in the jack (even though they are already fully in, you push anyway), it starts calling the last person in your call log. Also calls don't output to headphones anymore. I would like for them to be outputed through my car speakers via AUX but the sound will not go through, until I remove the AUX cable...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I just had something else happen, the lock screen is upside down. Unlocked the phone, and everything was upside down until I rotated it, and then rotated back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I'm messing around with the EL13 ROM (stock - rooted) and had a couple of phone going to roam moments.

I've since updated profile and PRL, rebooted, and it seems to have gone back to normal, hopefully....Give this a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I not only did this but ALSO reprovisioned my phone a couple of days ago. only a temp fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Today's been better...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I get frequent "loss of data", occasionally even on wifi. The 3g/1x is still there but the browser will hang then go to a about:blank page and the market will often say no data connection [retry], when the signal is low. I'll be going back to EG31 soon and see if is actually this radio version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Wow, bummer for the OP and the other posters. I'm not experiencing any of these issues. My setup has never been smoother for me on any Android phone, running any ROM since 2009. If we could get Samsung to improve the GPS, this phone would be 100 out of 100!

I would recommend flashing the EG30 completely stock (non-rooted) tar to go back completely stock and start fresh. While you are running stock, test things out and make sure it all works then root from there with auto root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I'm actually thinking of going back to EG31 modem aswell. I was never a victim of LOS, so I'll try it out tomorrow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
EL13 ROMs are great, the radio is a hit or miss I guess. No LOS's, just weird data black outs for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilWeech:
I'm in the same boat as you ,no problem so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I just got message not sent bug, and I'm in a good signal area. l ol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Flashed just the EG31 modem, and so far so good. Bars are strong :) reprovisioned right after flash btw. Everything else, ROM/kernel, is EL13
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
I flashed EL13 a couple days ago and it sucks for me so far, I roam more than usual and I cant hold a signal.. EK02 worked fine and I just switched to see what it was about
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Everything is prefect on the EG31 modem on EL13 ROM so far :). However I would like to know if anyone can flash the EG31 kernel on EL13 without borking the wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Nvm...message not sent error has arrived! I don't wanna go back to EG31 completely because of carrier IQ. Sprint did a better job I think in removing it

Btw I had full bars and got that message...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
This thread should not be a Q&A...i'm simply reporting my findings and sharing. Idc what anyone says, i'm not arguing this. Complete bs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sollymon:
im on everything el13. Just updated on saturday. no problems until i came to work today where i lose reception in the elevator. I had 2 LOS today. 1 without circle and one with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stparker38:
That just started today for me... have you found a cause and a cure?? It wouldn't be that bad except when a call comes in while on the lockscreen and its upside down, you can't answer the call or move anything on the screen until it stops ringing. It did that on 4 calls for me and I couldn't answer them! Hope someone has a solution...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmdauria:
EL13 is causing my phone not to ring when it is in deep sleep. This may already be a known problem or just an isolated incident. Can somebody else check this on their phone?

Let the phone sleep for like 5 minutes, then try to call your phone and see what happens!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxpir8:
im not having issues here on el13. everything is working great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmdauria:
I switched back to ek02 and my phone rings again! WOOHOO!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devil snake:
Hey guys,

I was thinking of selling my Note to by a Nexus (i won it, anyway :D) but then i thought, i just have to root it and then wait for CyanogenMod 9 ;) as i just LOVE the size of this thing :cool:

Then today was just wanting to check if there is any news, progress or anything about the Note and was really shocked that the al-powerful Note is NOT listed ANYWHERE in Cyanogen site!! Does that mean it's not supported?

I really love CyanogenMod with my old phones and was really keen to have that in this beast hardware!!

Please tell me that i'm missing something and that it's supported!!

It's just impossible for me to live with Samsung's UI and development section doesn't seem as active as the one of my old phone (few users of the phone?) and don't get me wrong Devs, we can't live without you but i mean the sales and support of this phone isn't as i expected for such legendary hardware!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alejandrissimo:
One day My xperia Arc was not listed on cyanogen mod website, at next day there was a beta STABLE release even with camera working.

So you know, hacksung team and cyanogen are working on CM9 for all devices so dont expect CM7 on the note :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
I got bored to death with CM ages ago so it doesn't bother me, but I know people do like it, and... I want this to sell, so I do hope CM materalizes on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nex7er:
It's being worked on by Team Hacksung. It wouldn't even need to be supported by CM as it's the equivalent to the iPad; a giant SGS2. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devil snake:
Oh Cool, Thanks a lot guys... i can mange the time being without CM7 but i just couldn't have handled the missing of CM9 ... thanks for the great news :D

[Droid 2 Global General] YellowShark:
most stable rom?

This is a great collection, thanks for the legwork.

Noob Question, if I may: I'm currently on Hexen/Froyo and wanting to upgrade to GB. Is there a general opinion on the question of "Most Stable GB Rom", currently? Or some sort of high-level pros/cons discussion? Searching the forums doesn't really yield good results - mostly it's people with problems, or folks who don't know how to sbf. I'm basically interested in finding out which one crashes the least, or conversely, the one that "you just like, even w/ the occasional reboot".

I reckon the following are on the table: Apex, Liberty, MIUI, & CM7; not sure if either Venus, or the VZ stock GB are even worth considering...? (What's the skinny on Venus? I read it's garbage/banned, and then I read elsewhere that it's just fine... big wtf there.)

Thanks in advance; long time reader, 1st-time poster. Have a good one out there.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Stock Gingerbread is very stable. Unlike stock Froyo, it's not as slow as well; the Gingerbread version of Blur is a lesser resource hog.

Stock 2.3 will also give you the best battery life so far, according to my research. (I get up to 36 hours on a single charge with GPS and WiFi on 24/7.) Just root it, and freeze some bloatware. You can also use a 3rd party launcher instead of the stock Blur one.

Random reboots happen with the stock ROM, however not quite often. For example, my phone usually reboots itself after 400-450 hours of uptime.

MIUI and CM7 are only stable for CDMA users. On GSM, there are numerous issues with WiFi and mobile data.
