[Nexus S General] sabaramo:
you guys sound exactly like the nexus one guys soon after the nexus s release.

Some of the things people were saying was no sd card, same 1ghz processor, not a worth upgrade etc.

So it doesn't surprise me to to hear the same banter here.

The fact of the matter is, the GN is on a completely different level, just like the nexus s was on a completely different level compared to the nexus one.

It might not be worth 700 but many said the same thing about the nexus s as well. I'm hopping on the GN bandwagon in the new year.

The main reason your ns is so damn good is developer support and vanilla android. For me there is no other choice but to go with GN or wait for nexus4. Even if sgs3 comes out with a 50 core processor and 128GB ram.

Those who bought the ns for the same reason I did know exactly what I'm talking about.

My 2¢
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
+1

my thoughts exactly
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
unless you switch to CDMA Verizon model all other versions have the same 16 GB space as Nexus S

only the Verizon model offers 32 GB
[Nexus S General] pkilla:
They both had 1gz but they where not the same one was

Hummingbird and the other was snap dragon design of

The phones where completely different not like this time around
[Nexus S General] Orangestrat:
You sound exactly like all the people who thought the LG star was going to overshadow the nexus S and make it totally irrelevant. Look how that turned out!

if you aren't completely nuts about having the latest and greatest, don't worry about it. Other than power and screen, the gnex hasn't got much that we haven't already (unlike the nexus 1 which had no storage or nfc, or even multitouch), we're not going to be left behind. $700 is an assload of money to spend on a phone, figure out how much its worth to you and buy it at that price when you see it. After the announcement, I was literally counting the days till my upgrade in January, but after cm9 came, I'm not gadget-lust-y. But that's just me, its all about you: your situation, your money, your phone.

i'll only get the GN when the prices sink to $350

just not worth the current street price

however if that was the HTC Edge or Galaxy SIII then i wouldn't mind dropping $800 on the spot
[Nexus S General] reicko86:
I am personally going to wait for next nexus phone, I figure that but time the next one is out sprint will be rolling out LTE and will get an LTE nexus
[Nexus S General] FrankNS:
I have both, and the GN is not so much better.

Wait a few months brother!
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
NOt sure if you're referring to the nexus s because you didn't quote but if you're... The Galaxy nexus is definitely better than ours but compared to other dualcore (GS2 exynos version)its not so great.

The 720P samoled is about the only thing innovating that it brings. It lacks things like micro SD 8MP camera, TV out..ect

Also the gpu (SGX-540)is outdated regardless if its slightly OC and has dualcore CPU to take workload off the GPU resulting in better performance But it also has a higher rez than ours @ (1280x720)

pretty much making it as fast as ours when u take the higher resolution into account ....its like PC GPUs can have the same GPU on two computers but raising the resolution in games on one will slow performance and lowers FPS comapired to the one with the lower resolution,

Its also way to expensive but that's becasue if the HD SAMOLED.

Gs2 is cheaper has better spec (exynos verson) and faster all around compared to GN

Our phone isn't a slouch with IC...much fast/smoother than GB

like a whole new phone

Does anybody else have a difficult time reading some of these posts? There are some illiterate mofo's in here. People are writing paragraph long sentences. It's hilarious and annoying at the same time. Anyways.... yeah...

OK Mr perfect who are u to try to correct or criticize anybody.

Cmon sun specially on a phone forum
[Nexus S General] marcelnn:
lolwut? is that enough? :)

Anyway, about the upgrade. I would definitely go for it, but I'm gonna wait until March-April or so, until the price drops.

I get my phones on-contract and off-contract during the 2 years I'm on it. So, I think it's all about how much money you're willing to spend on a gadget.

[Nexus S General] fightingroost12:
if I were u I would get an iPhone 4S, iPhone was my first phone and I wanted android because of the open source so i upgraded to an Xperia x10 and was shocked how much development was needed just to get the thing to 2.1 while 2.3 was being released... switched to sprint and I bought a Samsung intercept, I won't get into details but it was horrible, I figured well its just because of the manufacturer if I get a pure Google phone like how iPhone is pure apple I will be so happy. though my nexus is nice it doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone 4 let alone the 4s. I love UI and even with the galaxy nexus there are hiccups and lag occasionally. I understand why, its because android has so much running yea I get it but that doesn't make it a positive thing. my upgrades in a year I'll be getting the iPhone 5 (or 4g what ever they call it)
[Nexus S General] cropythy:
That's great you love apple and all, but this guy already owns an android phone and was asking if he should change to a different Android phone. He clearly has decided Android so o don't understand the bringing up of the iPhone during a discussion of android.

I personally have nothing against apple but this is the same as someone having the IP and asking if it was worth it to upgrade to the 4s with people saying Android.

With that said go with gnex is you can get it cheap otherwise stick with NS.
[Nexus S General] fightingroost12:
I'm not telling him to change religions, I was just saying what I believe would be the best choice. he was asking about phones no? and I brought up a phone I felt was really good. its not like he asked about what kind of phone to get and I suggested a BMW out of nowhere
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
I would say save your money for the next quadcore Nexus phone. The NS after upgrading to ICS is just as good as the GN. Sure the GN has bigger screen and resolution, but forking out 700 bucks is a pricey upgrade for that. I'm happy with my NS and possibly upgrade when the next Nexus is out next year.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
i phone 4S is a powerhouse and faster than any android dualcore phone when it comes to the GPU....the sgx543 is faaast. But that being said downside its apple so its locokdown and not as open as android

and even though it has a high rez retina screen its stilll small @ 3.5...i prefer AMOLED
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
i know your post was towards me you're just mad because you don't understand and hate the fact someone knows more than you on the subject.

Your post is just a pathetic attempt to try to show your superiority and to be quite honest its pathetic.....I mean lmfao none forced you to read any of these comments
[Nexus S General] voyager_s:
I was in the same boat recently. Was seriously thinking of an upgrade but not any more. ICS has turned my nexus into a new handset and i love it. Especially when i keep reading press releases regarding other handsets and their long wait ahead for an uncertain upgrade.

I would say just stick with your ICS nexus for now.

[Nexus S General] davidsteele1975:
I have the opportunity to move back to Android and I've always fancied a Nexus device. I can either pick up the Nexus S SIM-free for £200 or early-upgrade my contract for £275 and go for a Galaxy Nexus.

I know that neither device is perfect and ICS appears to have the Android OS bug (that I've had before on the S2), so part of me is tempted to go for the Nexus S and avoid the update to ICS for now. But the Galaxy Nexus is only a little bit more...

Opinions, anybody..?
[Nexus S General] Rexton270:
Well guys, I think each of us has different point of view...

I got myself a Nexus (Prime) as xmas present. I also own a Nexus S and HTC Sensation. The reason why got Nexus was that I wanted top end device, usable on any network, without bloatware, locked and other "restrictions". Also getting updates from the source as soon as available is an advantage.

Now bit of philosophy : imagine somebody, who buy an RollsRoyce... It's not the best,not the most powerful, not the cheapest, but it's a RR :-) ...

Same apply for Nexus owners.

So, imo, Nexus isn't for those people who just spending money,and then mourning about titts&bits... You spending money for something unique,extravagant... So before spending money, ask a question yourself , what do you want to have ; something extra or mass product???

Btw, despite some bugs (volume "ghost") I didn't regret buying Nexus (Prime)...
[Nexus S General] RomsWell:
I'd hold out for the quad cores. Right around the corner
[Nexus S General] snowmanwithahat:
Spot on... The galaxy nexus is an incredible device and on a completely different level. Yeh it's worth the upgrade... But not to me, I bought the nexus s off contract and would be doing the same for the nexus prime (galaxy nexus is a stupid ****ing name anyway).

There's no point in upgrading if your nexus s still works and you value your money.

I think the super amoled hd screen is not a perfect screen on 4.65 inch device
[Nexus S General] davidsteele1975:
I don't game on my handset and I'm not planning on much in the way of productivity such as word processing. The only heavy duty application I'm likely to run will be the web browser, so realistically, throwing more cores and more computing horsepower at my device won't give me much of a benefit. Bundling up a more power efficient processor will be useful, but in the context of HSDPA and AMOLED, it's not the main battery drain given my use.

[Dell Streak 7] Mustard23:
I am in Afghanistan, I have satellite that gives me an Australian IP address, and I am useing two local Data provider SIMs Etisalat and MTN. I use two because the Esislat is $23 unlimited usage but the Cell towers are taken down at night to stop IED but MTN stays up but charges me a data rate. I have Dell streak 7 with streakDroid on it. Everytime I DL anything from the market it will pop say I can not DL it in my country. Now I have unlocked AT&T Atrix that I run 3 SIM cards in the above two and a local voice only provider and I can DL things just fine. I did a search for how to change my country and there is app for it but when i try to DL it from the market place it will tell me, not available in my country. Is there any way to change my country?

The Streak did work for the first week or so that i had it and now I can not get anything to work. :mad:

Market Enabler

That can be used to bypass sim checks. Need to be rooted and run again after each reboot. If you cant download that, I think the author has a different place to download it from(?)

If they use GeoIP checks that can be bypassed by a proxy.
[Dell Streak 7] Mustard23:
I get the not available in your country error when I try to get that from the market place. I tried it before starting this tread. do you know of another place to DL it? If I get on my atrix and can I transfer it to my Streak? I am not the most android savey person.

If you can download it at all from anywhere, you should be able to install it on your s7.

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-GB1) 16gb Korea version (much like Galaxy S without phone function only, other things equal). Few weeks ago, I tried to install a Galaxy S ROM ( both .tar and .PIT files). It was a terrible mistake since the PIT file for Galaxy S doesn't fit my player. Hence, my player became dead from then (no response to buttons, no response to Odin).

I tried to get Odin recognize my player successfully by pressing the volume down button. But, couldn't restore the player with .tar file.

So, I posted in a Korean forum and got the PIT file.

But now, even I tried with that new PIT file in Odin. Odin stuck at the SET PARTITION and never moved on.

My question is: how to flash back my phone now? I got .pit and .tar file already.

And, my PIT file is 256kb. is it weird? I mean, most of the PIT files are about 2kb only :)

hi there

i tryed the "GN Official Update Checker" it says that my GN is a "Yakjuxw"

that means i will not get any update from google direct .. but WHY?????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OnionJoe:
Hi,

You can easily flash stock Google firmware (4.0.2). It's available here:

code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

Just download latest SDK, one with fastboot, boot your phone to fastboot holding both volume buttons and power button.

Check that fastboot recognizes your phone

fastboot devices

You have to unlock the bootloader - THAT ERASES EVERYTHING! So backup!

fastboot oem unlock

In firmware package you will find unix shell script for flashing. So if you are in Linux or OS X just run it

./flash-all.sh

On Windows just retype these commands into terminal.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip

You can now lock your bootloader again if you wish.

Now you've got Google's yakju build.

Happy flashing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] footballpics.info:
ok thanks!!

does anyone knows what kind of Galaxy Nexus i have????

am i the only one with this type of Galaxy Nexus?

this looks very wired to me bucause i bought the Galaxy Nexus open because of the updates ..

is thy yakjuxw a other type oder just a other software or is it a greyimport from somewhere?

if it is a "illegal" import i will give it back at the shop where i bought it ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OnionJoe:
In Poland we can buy only open Nexuses via official distribution, with polish texts on the back of the sealed box.

Mine was with Samsung's 4.0.1 firmware. On polish android forums there is a thread about firmware versions in Nexuses sold officially in Poland, and I think it's a lottery.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You have a proper Nexus, just that the build is a Samsung build as opposed to the Google (yakju) build

hi all

i flashed a stock rom (4.0.1 - 41F) and the update checker says that i habs a yakju and i will get update from google .. but still waiting for 4.0.2 ..

ok i could flash 53F but i want to check if it is working now with the updates ..

any ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I don't see what everyone's issue is here. As long as your getting the update in a timely matter (which has been rather timely) it shouldn't matter who's servers its coming from...as long as your getting it before any other devices...

Well I was still waiting for an update from google to fix volume bug. Got bored and sent phone for a replacement... I think week waiting for a major fix is long enough

Yes. Everything gets wiped, including the "external SD".

So make sure to backup everything you wish to keep.

Hello

Attached the 16G PIT for korean YPGB70 file.

hope it will help you.

I am in the same situation as your but i need the 32G version of the PIt because i didn't suuceed to make my device revive with what i have found by now (sadly said)

What korean forum did you register to get your data?

regards
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
256Kb PIt files are a direct dump from the device, The first 2-4Kb are real content and the rest is just zeros, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe you can try to get another PIT file to see if the problem is an incorrect file. There is a thread about that in the development subforum.

This has been the worst release ever, and the second worst was the transformer. I blame all this on asus. They are the ones responsible for all the retailers not having it.

What the hell do I need to stay up all night for if it's a month later. I thought they would be able to get it a few days later not a month!

Maybe I should just chill....wait to see all the complaints everyone has before getting it or if I get it at all. Gamestop suppose to have it tomorrow, but with all this aggravation, I just might not get it....Oh who am I kidding, if it's available I'll get it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
Asus may be to blame but amazon has the worst policy when it comes to preorder. They screwed many people over for canceling orders only to reopen preorder shortly afterwards and the. act innocent with emails stating they can reorder. They put them people at the back of the line. Now they are even taking more orders knowing they won't even have them. Notice how they won't give estimated dates till long afterwards. Bestbuy is right behind them

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] seba2486:
Hi everybody, I recently bought a X10 mini pro and when I am at home the WIFI connects and disconnects, I don't know what could be the problem.

My configuration is:

Static IP OK

gateway OK

mask OK

dns1 Ok

dns2 OK

everything is Ok because i have a laptop and a samsung i550 in the same network and all are working just fine (no collisions , all the ips are diferent, checked), could be a router problem? it is a linksys, may be a connection type problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
I sometimes have wifi issues on custom ROMs, I usually find that wiping the cache/delvik cache in CWM or Xrecovery fixes the issue for a while.

You could also try deleting the wifi profile and then re-entering the information 'or' setting up a static IP address on both the phone (advanced settings) and the router, the only problem is if you use lots of different wifi connections.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] novicebg:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't help, backup your phone, make a factory reset. If that doesn't help, make all the 3 things together, reinstall the ROM with CWM and restore your things, backed up with Titanium backup before.

Don't backup system settings, because when you restore them, you may restore also the Wi-Fi problem. Only backup user apps and data.

After you solve the Wi Fi problem, you can backup everything, including the ROM and its settings with CWM for example.
