[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xlillo:
Never had my own iphone, but I unlock some phones of my firends so I did use for some days 3gs 4g and just some days ago 4gs.

Apple makes really good phones, well made, solid and with nice screen, but my GSN is other world.

Just for begin I love the complete customization of Android, I can change rom, kernel and build one with my hands if I ask, this is a really nice feels of freedom that apples never give.

Can change launcher and themes, icons and every file that I ask.

In my little test I found the iphone better only in build, seems very solid phone with a sensation of something of really robust.

For all the rest, please don't touch my SGN!! :D

PS: Sorry for my very bad English... :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mass124:
Go for the GN

Hey,

I do not own a 4s, but a good friend of mine got one and I tried it for a few days.

here's what I noticed, (excuse my bad english)

First thing : the screen, oh the difference is so big ! Before, apple's retina display had a slight advantage on the AMOLEDs because it had 326 DPI, but GN has 320 and you can't even see the pixels. The blacks are way deeper on the GN.

Second thing : The camera I would say the GN camera is slight better. You do mot need these 3 MP more in your cellphone. If you want to take professional pictures, buy an DSLR. Also, people are not using the GN camera correctly ; it need time to focus, and in the dark, you sometimes need to adjust the exposure instead of using the flash. If you are taking pictures of sports, you'll love the nexus because it has zero shutter lag ; that means you can spam pictures as fast as you want.

third thing : home screen, if you want a iPhone-like home screen with only straight rows of icons on the GN, you can but if you want and android-like home screen with widgets and app drawer on the 4s, you cant.

Also, don't forget that you can boot your android on a lot of costom ROMs, apple don't even have flash player support on their web browser and syncing with itunes suck !

hope it'll help you in your choice !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iakamand:
I think the Iphone is a good product (hardware wise). I always say to Iphone owners ( look at your phone, this is what you gonna see for the rest of the phone's life Buttons). Another problem with apple is that it tries to control the consumer way too much. vs Google gives people much more freedom to modify the device they've PAID $300-$700 for.

by the way if iOS had the ability to have 7 or more home screens, App drawer, live wallpaper, widgets i bet the iphone would not even make it out of the Apple store. that's probably why there is no changes to the iOS

just a thought
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stardate Tab 10.1:
My two cents
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrio:
Well said. +1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rich_bown:
GNex!

Bottom line you can do more with android.

If you're happy being spoon fed your phone the apple way or the highway - gotta be 4s

If you're not GNex

For me one of the best things android had over ios is the ability to just USB it to any computer PC/Mac/Linux etc and use it as a drag and drop drive. Means I always have a USB drive in my pocket. Can't do that with iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frank21cn:
OK the answer will be very obvious if you post it in this website. My 'unbiased' opinion is galaxy nexus.

hey guyz,

i wanna ask the devs is there a hsck in the custopm roms

that can increase the ram

such like i partition my memory card so the system can increase the ram

like readyboost in windows? or even as a virtual memory?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaboy122:
no there is no such hack but u can use swapper from market to run games faster.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KegsWithLegs:
I lurked around the GlitchV13 forum for a good long time and didn't find an answer to this.. and because I've only been lurking for about a year I wasn't able to post anything, so it's about time I guess.

I'm having problems with the GlitchV13 kernel. Maybe I'm just being dumb and don't see something here. some help would be greatly appreciated.

I flashed GlitchV13 on my CM7.1 using CWM 5.0.2.7. No problems at all. Running great for two days. Suddenly, my phone won't connect to wifi. Cycled airplane mode and nothing popped up, so I did a reboot.. annnd got stuck in a bootloop between the CM splash and my lockscreen (wtf). Rebooted again, and now I'm stuck on the CM7 screen. Tried to Odin CWM4, still no bueno, and I get a "E:Can't mount recovery/log/"blahblahblah.

Admittedly, this happened one time before- I did a clean install from stock. Then I got gutsy and flashed GV13 again. Any idea why this is happening? After I flashed Glitch I didn't touch any other recoveries, nor did I try to push anything with Odin or Heimdall.

I really just don't wanna flash back to stock again, and a new solution to why this is happening would be super!

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Got it. Glitch comes packaged with 4.x CWM, while CM7 comes packaged with 5.0.2.7. Any way to reconcile the two? Worth it to push 4.x over 5.x, flash Glitch then backup so I don't have to do a full restore to CM7?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone_Capone:
I had the wifi problem on the stock kernel once, so I dont think that problem is with Glitch.

I also just flashed the latest kernel version and they have updated CWM to 5.0.2.7.

That being said are you sure the recovery is making this much trouble on the phone? Usually it doesn't make a difference (besides backups and whatnot).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstbusa:
The glitch recovery has a few extra features that the CM7 recovery does not.

one being able to wipe dalvik and cache at the same time. (very minor but its more convenient)

I personally think its worth it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MojoRisin011:
This is a nice little tablet and I was wondering if anyone had successfully ported a rom to it yet. From a bit of research, mainly here and here, rooting is defiantly possible with a little finesse.

Besides getting android market and google app bundle to work, it would be great to have a custom rom for this tablet. If anyone is willing to take this on, I'd be more than happy to donate and post a system dump.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tardisguy:
Well I have also done some research. The leader i7 tablet goes by another name. IT is apparently some re boxed tablet... lost the name. But stay tuned as i will post it here when i find it. But the reason you wont find roms or tricks for this is because theres another name. Find its root hardware before rebranding and you will find roms
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knightofthe9:
Its other name is the impression 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tardisguy:
It is an "Infotmic" based MID. Particularly the x210 model.

Listed in the hardware information program i used.

Theoretically its internals are the same and it can be flashed to anything the infotmic x210 tablets have listed on various sites, as the only difference would be the external ports, case and etc for the rebranding.

This is good and makes sense because if you were to mass produce a cheap tablet, you would want the insides to be universal (it saves money) but modular enough to fit into different rebranding schemes. (easily resolder/connect additional or less IO ports on main board)

Spread the word on any forum you find, see if we cant and find some people smart enough to crack open these F***ers

Not really jason, I guess only those provided by carrier 3 are marked with Z. I bought mine from dealer (netonnet) and it's R.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jason11:

Galaxy Note is S.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
i9100 = Samsung Galaxy S II, Standard International Version

i9108 = Samsung Galaxy S II, Chinese Version

i9103 = Samsung Galaxy R

"i9103 Samsung Galaxy Z" and "i9103 Samsung Galaxy Royal" are names for the i9103 invented by H3G.

I hope the custom rom you posted here is for i9103 and not for i9108.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] lhex:
Done!! ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mys199156:
these is MY question

I confused the issue
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ishafiq:
i9108 is a Chinese ROM Version of i9100G (Samsung Galaxy S2 with TI OMAP 4430 Processor)

i9103 is called Galaxy R worldwide and introduced as Galaxy Z in Sweden by operator 3.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Here in all the European Union they sell no i9100g and no i9108. Here they sell only i9100 and i9103.

Yes, Galaxy Z is a name invented by H3G. Their strategy is to make people think that there is a phone that is available only from them.

I understand the i9100g is inferior to the i9100, because exynos is superior to omap4.

And what is I9188?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ishafiq:
i9188 is a GSM/WCDMA version of i9100G

i9108 is a TD-SCDMA (china's alternative to W-CDMA) version of i9100G
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Does i9188 cost less then i9108? How much it costs?

If it is GSM 900+ wcdma 2100, in theory it is compatible to European networks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
set iso to 100 and you'll see perfect pictures

samsung purposely sets high iso under automatic settings to keep a fast shutter time, this sacrifices picture quality
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ballu84:

Is that "aqua di gio" i see! :p nah i noticed your in kind of a low light setting and sometimes our phones aint the best in that situatiion using the same settings u will achiece some very nice pics in normal lighting and brighter (outside)

Low light is bad. Samsung Camera is to Nikon as the 4S is to Canon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I took my GS2 to a punk rock show in a very low lit club and took some pictures and video of the band. My buddy took his iPhone 4 (not 4s) and took some pics and video as well. All of his pics and most of his video made mine look total ****! In bright light our cameras are very good, but in low light I am sickened with this phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Individ3:
tbh I've been wondering the same thing as the OP.

I had high expectations for our phone's camera with reviews and sample pics that I saw beforehand, but have not been able to achieve half decent pics... especially in low-light conditions! If anyone has managed to find some settings that work best, please share!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GuestK00468:
A phone, no matter how much you pay, should not be a substitute for an actual camera. This holds true especially for planned events. This camera is perfect for high quality pictures and videos during unexpected moments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Individ3:
You know, I feel quite the fool in that my wife has generally taken most of the pics with my phone so far, and I've only been repeating her concerns and haven't really experimented with the can much myself.

What I have found is, like it was mentioned before, setting the ISO to 100 is important. Next is finding a scene that works well with what you're taking a pic of (I have found that party mode really makes colours pop). Also metering can be adjusted to change the center of focus. But so far I've been happy with these settings...

Anyone else have any tips or favourite settings they use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ballu84:
Aqua di gio it is...guilty as charged!! :P

Low light? Hmmm, isn't that what the camera flash is for? My sensation took way better pictures than this. *sigh*

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] projektorboy:
Yes. A bad ESN just means that it will only be refused by the cellular network it was made for. Since the phone won't be using a cellular network, you don't have to worry about the ESN.
[HTC EVO 3D] baronian_cecil:
Noticed that on my phone, the latest version of KingCobra3D has the Rogers SMS timestamp issue we've all come to know and love. I'm pretty sure that the timestamp issue results from the updated version of the LeeDroid tweaks, as I also have the timestamp issue present with v1.7 if I manually install the updated LeeDroid tweaks zip through recovery.

My question(s):

-Is anyone else having this issue?

-Is there either a way to get v1.8 of this rom *without* the tweaks update that's causing the timestamp issue?

-Is there possibly a way to possibly merge the two versions of the tweaks so that I have the updated version of the tweaks but without the timestamp problem?

Thanks for the help!

Pick amonRa or drellisde recovery, rename to pc36img and put on root of SD somehow, then open boot loader. It will ask if you want to update. Select yrs (up, I believe). Should be good.

Same error message. Thanks though. I was told that upgrading my ruu would help but I don't know how to do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Its the same way,download the latest RUU ,if its not already,rename it to PC36IMG and put it on the root of the sd card,then boot into bootloader,it should load the IMG and ask if you want to install the update,hit the volume rocker in the up position and then it will ask you to reboot,hit the up on the volume rocker again,it will reboot and that should do the trick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PabloKoala:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It always does that check; if its not asking to update then:

1. The file in named PC36IMG.zip [case sensitive]

2. Missing a file on the inside, like the .txt, desc file, ect.

I was messing with a Galaxy 2 today, and noticed that it had a 8mp camera on it. I thought the quality of the pictures were also really nice. How does the Nexus's camera compare to the one that is on the galaxy 2? Also, why would the downgrade the camera? I know that mega pixels isn't everything when it comes to pictures, but is the nexus 5mp camera better somehow that the 8mp that comes on other recent devices?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
Unfortunately there is nothing special about the 5mp camera on the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
I can't speak for the galaxy s2, but coming from a Droid 1 which also has a 5mp camera I can say the nexus completely blows it away, very sharp too. Same MP, big difference. There are many discussions on what makes a 8mp camera suck and say, a 5mp be better, ill avoid that road but say it is more than just MP!

And as a second thought, its a phone! The nexus camera is more than adequate, and if you really need top quality, buy a real camera :)

I'm not 100% sure but I believe megapixel has to do with the size of the photo?

Quality of the camera doesn't really depend on the megapixel.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just my thoughts.

That and stock software takes terrible shots, not even at the expense of speed, just poor decisions in noise reduction.
