[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scuzzbag87:
I still go with my s2 for the camera and SD slot though the galaxy nexus is a fast phone. My wife has a rooted stock JB GN and I could switch with her if I wanted but I'm not. When I used her GN on ics damn u could see some stuttering on JB waaaaay faster and have yet to see it stutter. Its really fast at stock so Idk why people even want to flash custom roms I thought the whole point was to get a stock experience. As for the stableness it depends on the roms sorry to say it but the touchwiz roms are better and less buggy than the cm9, aokp ones. Even with this new official "stable" cm9 I have already encountered some bugs in the messaging app (clean install) but gonna keep using it to find more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
That's why I got on that guys ass. Everyone has a different experience. That gnex I flash for my buddy is for Verizon. She gave up her iPhone 4s for the gnex and doesn't regret it one bit. Even though lte is harsh on battery life she still manages about 15 hours a day. The gnex cm9 build is bugless compared to the t989 cm9 build. And ours is damn near perfect.

You are wrong about the Nexus screen. Higher resolution screen doesnt mean better screen. S2 uses super amoled plus, which beats super amoled on GNex to dead. S2 has sharper, smoother pixels, whereas Gnex suffers badly from pixelation. Dont let "HD" fool you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hyelife:
The two phones are pretty much identical in real world usage. The only real difference is from what I have noticed is the resolution. So either you get higher resolution minus SD Card slot or lower resolution with a SD Card slot.

Jellybean; Gnex has it and the Tmo s2 won't have a stable one for another 6 months or longer.

T 989 is better,Nexus is ugly,fattest ,but 1st get update.it's only adventage for Nexus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sickred:
have you used a GSM galaxy nexus?

I sold my white t989 to switch to a galaxy nexus. the speed and performance on the galaxy nexus is a lot better than what i had experienced with the t989. when i troubleshoot my girlfriends gs2 t989 it feels sluggish and laggy compared to jelly bean.

i also personally like the GN design alot better than the t989. that curve design feels a lot better in the hand. also it has an awesome car dock accessory!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
I have both- rooted SG2 and unrooted stock GSM GNEX and they are both very nice. JB is smooth as silk on gnex but I love my tons of music on my external 32gb SD card on my SG2. Which is why I am using the SG2 now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvaka22:
Yes I used Nexus and I don't like it,sold him,like J said, not bad phone but

ugly

I think nexus is not better,maybe you,but not me,T 989 with Hercules JB 4.1.1 CM Nightlies work like speedy gonzales,personalisation is awesome,what more can i wish;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Guys it's all preference so we can stop the debate. If the nexus had an sd card slot, better battery life and camera everybody would be on it. Makes you think why they didn't...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mulletcutter:
Also I would take a gs2 over a 3, that button is just we Todd did. I wouldn't mind a gnex but no SD is kinda dumb.

First I'm not a black person...so shut up little kid. What's superior about it? My wife has one and I don't like it. That button kills the whole phone for me, and I dont think its any faster then my s2 with JB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Black? "Thats Racist.jpg" Anyways, the only thing tempting bout a nexus is the direct support by Google. No need to wonder and wait when you will get the latest Android (Except of course if its the VZ version :p ) Since the latest Android and it source codes comes out first, they by default have better dev support. All that said, I aint giving up my SGS2!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blagginspaziyonokip:
First off, saying nigga doesn't mean I'm a kid. The S3's button kills it for you? That's nice. Does the Nexus have an SD slot? I don't think so. Does it even have a physical home button? I don't think so either. Not saying the Nexus is bad, it's a great phone, but S3 is just better. Although yes the Nexus has got better support than the S series.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
IMO without that button you will not be able to use S-voice conveniently because there is no physical button to activate it without unlock the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Angultra:
I have used both, screen is comparable: GNex has Amoled HD (pentile), while S2X has Amoled 800x480 Plus (non-pentile). S2X has slightly larger usable screen due to GNex dedicated onscreen buttons. However TouchWiz ruins the experience on S2X; giant icons / text, bloatware, and sluggish navigation. Custom ROM would be an asset for S2X, not so for GNex. I think CPU / GPU is comparable - would have been better if Samsung used Exynos chip on both though, which is faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jrude2262:
Gnex is an awesome phone and add JB to the mix its a beast n could of give the tmobile gs2 a run for its money, But minus that amazing software it cant compare but now let add this to the mix we have JB now too so everyone should be able to clearly see that tmobile GS2 it way better than the Gnex. i own both phones (had the Gnex since is was first release) n i left that phone for my current tmobile gs2. what surprise me was all the silly ppl that sold there Gs2 for a Gnex then only to find out like maybe a month or so later that JB was on the GS2 (dont matter what version u have) Lol i know their alot of regret right now with the ppl that did that. SMH Hardware Trumps software any day and ur a fool if u dont know that

I own both and I use my Hercules more thanks to TeamCS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ceejay83:
I'm going to disagree here. Software is more important than hardware. The nexus has fully working jb that's bug free and will get updates. What apps out there that the nexus can't run better compared to the s2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jrude2262:
for one any emulator app like gamedroid, n64droid,FPse. They run okay notice lagging and distortions in the sound but when i use those same apps on the GS2 in run perfectly like i was using the game console that is being emulated *Note those emulator focus on hardware so the software can emulate correctly

Hi all.

This is my GF phone so i have no idea about them. Been working fine until today. She popped the wifi on and it said there was a new update do you want to update and she said yes so im assuming she has updated to the new firmware. After that it rebooted and then just hung on the HTC logo screen. This is all stock never been messed about with so just shop bought if you like and all official.

I can get into the boot menu ETC and ive recovered it and that still didnt work but the recovery only seemed to delete all my data im guessing as that was the only option :confused:

Can someone please help ? :)

Thank you

Right have the Bravo, But you say boot into fast boot which ive done connected via usb which is done, but then Run RUU. How do i do that ive been looking about and re-read your sticky but im either thinking RUU is a programme or RUU is a rom ? im a little confused and dunno how to run lol

Thanx for your help mate which is really appreciated but sorry for my htc noobness
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
RUU is a Windows program which flashes a firmware onto your device. Read more: Desire Unbricking guide and Goldcard FAQ

After installing HTC Sync, you uninstall HTC Sync alone leaving the drivers installed. Then run the RUU and follow onscreen instructions.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wootang00:
I was checking voicemail today.. put in my password thru the keypad.. and then once i put the phone back next to my ear.. i kept pushing the keypad buttons with my cheek. until the promixity sensor caught on..

anyone else getting this prob? just an fyi.. i have the SGP Oleophobic Screen Protector on my phone.. i'm not sure if that decreases the reaction time for the sensor or not.. but its a pain..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
No mine does that too. I've been using google voice to keep my old number, which asks to hit a 1 or 2 to accept/decline thus keeping the keypad up.

When I'm on a call and shufflin' (everyday I'm shufflin') sometimes the screen pops back on with my face on it and all of a sudden you'll hear a bunch of tones over the phone. lol. Everyone asks, "What was that?!" and I just giggle and say, "Don't worry about it" or "I didn't hear anything" lol.

But yea. It's a tad slow. Probably just a setting. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet99:
I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue! I had this proximity sensor issue on my Iphone 4, but it was hardware related. This only appears to occur when the dialpad is still on during a voicemail or phone call. This is BEYOND ANNOYING and I hope that Google is able to address this via software fix. I'm surprised they let this one slip through the cracks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgem67:
Proximity sensor slow

Yep. Mine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naddie:
I just found out why this is. The GNexus requires the phone to be upright before the proximity sensor will turn off the display. If it is laying flat, it won't work. Because of the complexity (the requirement to satisfy both conditions), it seems to react slower.

The hardware itself isn't the problem. It's the stock dialer.

To demonstrate, I made a video. I used the stock dialer and GrooVe IP (a dialer I use for Google Voice). GrooVe IP turns off the screen right away when I put my hand over the proximity sensor. Also, it does not cause accidental ear dialing.

I hope Google will fix this in the next update. It's certainly by design (a bad decision), and can be fixed by software.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naddie:
This thread is pretty dead, and I haven't found too many other posts regarding this issue. I'm shocked to not see any replies, including the ones who already wrote in this thread. I was hoping to get some confirmation if their "slow" responding phones are also exhibiting this correlation with the accelerometer.

Is this not a wide spread issue? Is what I demonstrated not expected behavior? Do I need to exchange my phone?

I hope not - I bought this from a Amazon merchant, so I don't know how hard it is to get warranty work done (since it's imported).

I'm in the US, and this is a GSM version. We only have the CDMA version (Verizon) officially.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naddie:
Forgot to post here regarding this issue. Not fixed, but I think it's more of a software issue than hardware. I wrote and made a video that might explain why I think it's a software issue:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Probably because no-one else has this problem? I know I don't anyway, mine is always instant and works flawlessly. Sounds like a hardware issue or your screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
It's an issue for me, no screen protector and the timing's almost sporadic when holding it naturally. But it could also be how I hold it as said earlier in the thread

Screen orientation in general seamed slow to me on 4.0.2. 4.0.4 speeds things up a bit, it's listed as one of the improvements.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Same issue here. I just tilt the phone so that the top (where the sensor and speaker are) touches my ear for a second, then flatten the phone against my cheek. This gives the sensor time to activate and never results in accidental keypresses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmadcat:
this is what i do too :) it's a pain though - i hope we get 4.0.4 in the UK on o2 soon! im tired of waiting for faster screen rotation and more responsive proximity sensing :)

So I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but am having problems...

Here is the situation... I follow all the steps but when I get to clicking and opening the "Odin3_v1.85.exe" it gives me an allow box, I click allow, then (unlike the video) it gives me another box that says odin3 then Japanese or something, when I click the only thing to click on it, It opens and closes ODIN in a flash. This happens everytime...

I have downloaded ODIN, uninstalled, reinstalled, and the works...

I'm running Win7 on my comp, had drivers installed, in ODIN mode, its a galaxy 10.1 running 3.2 all stock upgraded through KIES...

When I just open ODIN without the "Odin3_v1.85.exe" it wont recognize my tab... I'm lost and want to root my Tab so I can run what I want...

There are a few vids on youtube that show the process. It's pretty straight forward. The only hard part looks to be heating the glass to remove it.

YouTube Vid, click me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
Thanks for the info. I did do some research for a quick bit but I've been at work all day so I can't do much till I get home.

I've taken apart a few phones in my lifetime so I'm not too worried. Plus my deductible is 100 so if it doesn't work out I'll be out 20 something dollars + deductible if it does work out, I save 80 and don't have to use my last insurance claim

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
also, does anyone know how to glue the new digitizer on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
I'm gonna bump this since I just did this yesterday. I'll post more details on it but as of now all I have to say is that heating the glass and screen isn't as easy as the video shows.. Its a pain in the rear and I thought I broke my screen a few times. Also from the heat my lcd separated in 5 layers.

Only tip I have for others is take your time. This process should take about 3 or 4 hours for someone doing it the first time.

Also the video doesn't show it but when disconnecting the ribbons, they have a yellow tape over them that you have to remove first and the screen has a silver tape on the back that you have to remove.

Taking apart the phone is really simple, like I said the only hard part was heating the digitizer and lcd screen.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Thanks for the follow up. I thought heating the screen was going to be the hard part. Did you use a heat gun or a hair dryer? I have a heat gun, but I'm almost afraid that it may be to hot, and melt something that it shouldn't :eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Guys I have done many screen repairs. Please just make sure you can do this in the most sterile area. The last thing you want is dust under the screen after all your hard work. Also I recommend gloves or finger tip covers so you do not get finger prints in between the screens.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
I have done many HTC 6800's and it went quite well.

If I had a screen shattered as bad as the one in the U Tube vid, I would put some high temp heat glue on the worst parts BUT avoid getting any of it near the edges or where it might run through the cracks onto the digitizer.

Use the hot air blower on low or a hair dryer on high and blow away from the middle in long even strokes.

An old metal serving turntable would help or a lazy Susan made of wood NOT plastic.

And like zax10 advised, keep it clean and avoid getting any skin oil from your fingers on the surfaces.

Most kits include the adhesive for re assembly.

Enjoy...
