[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
I have both the internation Note and the GSM Galaxy Nexus. I really like them both, I prefer the Nexus when it comes to feel in the hand and portability, but like I've said before overall I just enjoy using/playing with the Note. I know people moan and whine about manufacturer overlays like TouchWiz, but when it comes down to it it's just stock Android. People constantly add all kinds of 3rd party widgets and apps, and then none of them flow together, where at least everything has a similar style on a manufacturer customization. The Nexus is a little smoother/faster, but the Note has better battery life, better camera, little bit higher screen resolution, plus I feel like games and stuff work nicer on the Note. Also the whole stylus feature is pretty awesome. Oh also expandable memory. I switch back and forth between my Focus, Note, and Nexus. Out of the 3 I feel like I'd be most likely to sell off the Nexus first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walropodes:
I think it's a bit of a shame that the Note doesn't have NFC, I want to get the Note soon but I'd like to be able to use Google Wallet with it too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pikkie86:
Hahaha!! :D What Potchefstroom? Yeah that's where I live in South Africa. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deymayor:
In my opinion, these 2 features are in the same level of "overrated-ness" as annoying Siri.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walropodes:
I can see why some may see it as being gimmicky, but it seems like it'd be genuinely useful. Seems like it's a few years off though.

[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
Honestly, I'm down to 1512. A notch above that proved unstable as far as I can tell. I can run benchmarks fine upwards of ~1800, but I'll get random force closes and boot loops if left for any extended period of time. Also have issues with display not coming back on (menu lights and led backlight work, but no image). The stability test app is pretty much worthless too. Let it run for 6 hrs no errors. When I turned it off, BAM restart.

So what is your max, truly stable, OC?

edit: just for archival's sake, using Anthrax-CDMA-Sense (v1216) with Scott's 2.08.651.2 Stock Rooted ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] ianm1837:
That's interesting...

I'm using the same Kernel with Scott's 'senseless' ROM and I have my clock set to 1.836 with no issues.

I'm no expert but have you tried using a super wipe (or just manually wiping everything including system) and reflashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] saboture:
My first 3D was pretty stable at 1.94 but when it started getting the black screen of death I got it replaced through sprint. The Refurbed one they gave me (the one I have now) freezes if I go to 1.6..
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
I used to do 1.94 but it gave me random reboots (nothing fatal)

I stick to 1.5 smartass when the battery is greater than 50%, then 1.2 smartass, and .8 conservative at 15%.

On charge it's 1.7GHz lagfree
[HTC EVO 3D] Akasa Fox:
Depends on your CPU, they all arn't created equal. I'm stable at 1.9 GHz with no reboots. I'd say that 1.5 is a good mark, seeing as the HTC Rezound has the

exact

same CPU as the Evo 3D, just clocked to 1.5 instead of 1.2.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
This is interesting. I bet the CPUs, while manufacturing wise are identical, are chosen based on thier bin level for the different devices.

After writing this post I cleared Dalvik cache and switched my kernel to RCmix-evo3d-v7. I ran it at 1.62 or something like that while I was running around Christmas shopping, so it had heavy use. Google nav, lots of phone calls, texts, Pandora, etc with zero issues (especially that display issue I mentioned is gone, thank god). After getting home I was so impressed with it that i stepped it up to 1.782, and we'll see about that, although I'm not holding my breath.

Basically I learned that your overclocking potential (or maybe more accurately system stability regardless of overclocking) is greatly influenced by your kernel.

Akasa Fox, mind sharing your kernel version, ROM and version, and hboot and any other potentially relevant information I may be forgetting? I'm impressed with your performance.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
I like this approach of different clocks and governers based on bat level. Is this a pro feature of the Antutu app?
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
The kernel does have a decent bit to do with your max OC, but it also has to do with the CPU you have and if it was made on a good day at the foundry or not and how good a section of the silicon it came from.

I used to run RC Mix kernels before Chad was around, but those kernels always ran MUCH hotter. When playing a game my phone would literally be almost too hot to touch. Chad's Anthrax kernels have always been cool and after playing a game for a while (same game, same amount of time) the phone is just a bit warm. So you may be able to go farther with an OC on RC Mix kernels, but your phone's lifetime for its processor is going to be a whole lot less. At the temp it was hitting id bet it is well above its max rated temperature level and degrading the processor substantially.

Some people may not be able to OC far, but how far can you undervolt? Many times those who cannot OC very high can undervolt like crazy (me included) and those who can OC much higher than most also cannot run really low voltage levels. My phone is 100% stable @ 192MHz on only 700mv. Thats the lowest Chad allows, Id love to see if I can be stable even lower. I am also 100% stable @ 1188MHz (HTC Stock) with only 987.5mv. But the most I have ever been able to overclock stably (even with RC Mix kernel) was 1.6GHz, with the max benchable being 1.72GHz. Any higher and the phone insta locks up and reboots. No matter what voltage.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
Hm, that's a good point. I'd like to push the undervolt limits as well to see what its got. That anthrax kernel I mentioned in the first post was terribly unstable for me, but maybe I should give it another shot after researching the super wipe method mentioned a few posts up. Is there a version of his kernel that everyone is having good luck with? Or is the latest one the best?

Also, I don't see voltage options in the antutu program. What are you using for your oc/uv utility?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
Just profile settings for SetCPU.
[HTC EVO 3D] awakener777:
His latest 100% Qualcomm based kernel is incredibly smooth. 100% stable for me. I'm giving this kernel a lot of praise considering I used to have crazy reboots and lockups on the older anthrax kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
Weird. Well, I will give it another shot before writing him off. I'm a noob so its entirely possible and probable that I did something wrong.

I found setcpu last night, but I didn't see any uv options. Does rcmix not allow for it?

Thanks.

[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
My phone won't overclock for ****. At first it would do good and I could get around 1.7-1.8, now when I try anything after superwipe and wiping through nand, I can't get the thing to post at 1.5 and remain stable without lockups/freezing and slowdowns. The phone even has trouble at stock now. I haven't traded it in for obvious no s off reason.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
1.78 GHz. I can do 1.83 but not very stable.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
1.782 runs all day locked at that speed but I usually run bcblend kernel @ 1.512 max 194 min. Ondemand.

I know it was Virus' InfectedROM (Before the nightly), Software 2.08.651.2, HBoot 1.5 (HTC Unlock.) [Edit]: I'm almost certain the Kernel I used was Tiamat, hard to remember though, seeing as I traded out performance for battery life by switching to viper ages ago. (And that i'm a flashaholic :p)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
So I habe a T-Mo GSII and I want to order a Galaxy Nexus, this'll be my first Nexus phone. I've been looking around the forums and there's different sites people have usied to order one. Any personal opinions on which is the best place to order from? Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
If you want top service, order from Expansys. Aside from having a rep on this board who is VERY responsive & helpful (COREY L) they also have a $40 discount coupon 40OFFGNX (that's four-zero-oh) which worked for me as of late last (Thurs) night.

Ordered last night 11PM (PayPal) and it was already picked up by Fedex and scheduled for delivery tomorrow by noon(I paid for SAT delivery).

My guess is if you wait another 2-3 weeks you will see a pretty decent price drop but if you're in a rush I'd say EXPANSYS.

I just sold my T-Mo GSII as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markzip:
Seconded, Expansys

I pre-ordered mine from Expansys and it arrived at my house about 5 days after the release overseas (including Thanksgiving). The transaction was professional and painless.

Yes, it's pricey at the moment, but the price should come down after the festive season.

Failing the announcement of a domestic US GSM version, go with Expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] texiandave:
Handtec UK has consistently been $50 cheaper since release. I've picked 2 from them so far. They also have free shipping to USA. Since it is your first Nexus I should point out that any grey market device will have marginal or no warranty service, including expansys us, read the fine print not the ads. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Thanks for all the input guys. Yea and I was really wondering too about he whole warranty thing, would there be none since I'm ordering overseas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I think Negrielectronics.com still has a $40 off "HOLIDAYS" coupon. That makes it about $685, with free shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
+1 on expansys.

corey L is the sh!t!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Purchased mine from negrielectronics.com. Great experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmolloy:
+1 for Negrielectronics.com . They had the cheapest price when I got mine, free shipping and I literally had it delivered to my house the next day. (Sadly it was a friday and I wasn't home so I had to wait until Monday for it to come around again but that was my bad.)

If you do use Negri, use amazon or google check out to speed things up, people processing credit cards with them have reported delays in the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
Negri also - best price (after coupon), and shipped quickly. Also, no tax for me!

$685 is pretty good for this level of phone off contract.

-bZj
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m2te:
I don't think I'll ever use expansys UK again. Mine was faulty on arrival and it took two weeks between reporting it faulty and getting the replacement through. Seemed like forever!!!

I don't know if that's typical for Internet retailers, quick to send but slow to resolve problems. It's all sorted in the end so can't complain but waiting two weeks was torture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
+1 for Expansys, Got mine delivered 2 days after ordering, no problems at all.

NewEgg is selling it for 719.00 right now, NewEgg is always on point, great service and prompt shipping.

Coupon codes available for both...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Ordered from Negri on the 22nd, the coupon was good for $50. My total was $680.50, and they were offering free shipping via FedEx Saver. Its due on the 29th.

I've always used Handtec, but with that coupon, Negri was cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moliang:
Just order from Negri, they lower their price+ coupon. Paid $639.50
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
I think I'm going with negri, I'm looking at 689 with no coupon. That's still not bad. Thanks for all the input guys, really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronpaws:
I sold my T-MO GS2 and bought a galaxy nexus as well. Great decision imo.

I ordered from Negri and it was there in three days. Ordered on Sunday night, got it on Wednesday morning. Got it for 685.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Ohhhh of course a couple days after I order, they lower the price. :rolleyes:

Anyway, did you guys get FedEx shipping? Mine was shipped on the 22nd, and still says estimated delivery is the 29th. I was really hoping for like Monday, or Tuesday at the latest...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
If you're still looking and depending on how close to the USA/CND border you are you could pick one up from Bell or Virgin off contract. Especially while the US DOllar is stronger. Just my 2cents...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donlad:
I went to a Verizon store and bought mine for $650 and didn't have to worry about shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Sometimes buying off contract doesn't make sense, can someone explain?

I have a question about buying unsubsidized phones off contract. It makes sense on certain plans, like T-mobile value plans that end up saving you money. However, for the rest of the folks who are on regular plans with Verizon, doesn't it make sense to get the phone subsidized from somewhere cheap like Amazon. I mean you're going to have the phone at least for 6 months, then you can pay the prorated Verizon ETF whenever you want to cancel your contract. Doesn't it come out cheaper? Am I missing something? Are you guys on different Verizon plans?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Haha, but I'm not on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
well I'm in Illinois, maybe I'll go to Canada for a weekend vacation haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thunderstruck!:
Just drive up to Kenosha and you'll save on the sales tax. Checked and it appears Expansys-usa doesn't have the LTE version, and negroelectronics.com is priced higher than getting it direct from Verizon. if I choose to buy one at full price, I may do BB as they offer 12 months free financing. 30 day return policy too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
If u want one now, I got radio shack to price match there online price of $219.00
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Lol, I'm trying to get a GSM GN. I'm not even on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moliang:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:

Whats the scoop on the $200 from Citi? I'll apply for one tomorrow if I can get 200 back.

Warranty/Return/Refund?

How does Negri handle warranties? Anyone care to post their horror story?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Yea I'm wondering the same thing, how are warranties handled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
Big +1

What if I get a defective unit from Negri? Would they replace it or are you SOL?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
With Christmas over has anyone seen any price drops anywhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
If you buy from negri, does the charger that comes with it work for the USA or is it a European charger?

Motorola cliq XT>Samsung vibrant > future galaxy nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Anybody knows what kind of charger is included if you purchased from negrielectronics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
My understanding is because they're a US company it helps with the warranty (easier to get ahold of them, and they're pretty good about it apparently), but at the end of the day its still a UK product and its not gonna be as easy as if you were buying it directly from a true US retailer.

Which coupon? The "gift" coupon I see makes it $644.50 free shipping.

They add a US charger in the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
Negri does not have UK versions in stock. They have Asian version of Galaxy Nexus in Stock, I think that would probably be Hong Kong version. The other coupon to make it 639 is dead now, GIFT makes it $5 more, and I don't think even this will last long. I wish Expansys offers one for the same price, they seem to have better support when it comes to warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greensnow:
what is the difference in the UK vs Asian stock? Is it the software build (samsung vs. google)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
I am not very sure, but read somewhere the build is different. Also warranty makes difference since they would need to ship to HK vs UK. I think Negri charges for shipping to manufacturer looking at their terms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Obo1956:
Amazon

While trying to decide on the note or the nexus, I came upon this thread. Noticed that nobody seems to mention Amazon. Is there a reason for this? Price Wise they are as good as anybody else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
Yes a lot of sellers on Amazon and ebay.. But these unlocked devices are grey market devices and comes with no warranty, with an exception of few companies like Expansys, who would help in warranty. All others would say contact manufacturer and manufacturer (Samsung) would simply would not honor these purchases in US. So if you believe you can live with no warranty, sure you can try out anywhere you get them cheaper. But some like me would not like to take that risk after paying so much for these devices..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
I was on online chat with negrielectronics and the man told me that if, for example, I broke my screen, I would send it to negrielectronics to their USA location and they would send the phone to their own repair department, not samsung! I found this to be weird and am not sure what to do now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjstang:
I ordered from expansys on a lot of peoples recommendations. I used coupon code "40OFFGNX" and it came to $689. I bit more then negri but I heard that customer service and they help you with the warranty if you have a defective device. A lot of people have also gotten the yakju builds from expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
I think Negri has presence only in USA, where as Expansys has in many countries. I guess thats how Expansys is able to send to manufacturer for warranty through their subsidiaries. But thats just my guess. Thats why I am waiting for a price drop from Expansys. yakju build from expansys because they have UK devices and also Expansys in UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
I emailed expansis and told them that many people in the forums write how well your customer service is but that negrielectronics has the phone for 640 after a coupon code. I asked if he knows when there would be a price drop but I got this as an email back:

"I cannot speculate when our prices will drop. Keep in mind that the GSM version of the galaxy nexus is an international version. Meaning, samsung US will not honor the warranty. I cannot speak for Negri. However, we will make sure you are still covered by the manufacturer. You would contact us and we will get it serviced on your behalf".

I might also wait for a price drop because I feel that expansis will provide better service in case of a problem. More people should email expansis about a price change and mabey they will do something!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rnd0209:
Best buy. Cause they have the best return policy even though you have 14 days with the line. They give you 30 days for phone exchanges and you can exchange unlimited (well at least I can lol)

This is for VZW btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But this is a thread about the GSM Galaxy Nexus. Way to go...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
Lmao,I am half asleep and just accidentally hit the thanks button a few posts up,lol,There should be a way to undo a "thanks"Anyway I purchased my Galaxy Nexus from Expansys USA around launch & I paid for overnight shipping & used a coupon code to basically get the shipping free and I couldn't be happier with my choice to go with Expansys,I would recommend them to anyone on the fence about which company to go through.The phone came in less than 24 hours,haven't had a single issue whatsoever,my Nexus was yakju out of box(Some people prefer this)Anyone know of a recent voucher code for Expansys?I want to pick up a second Nexus as a present for my wife.Any voucher codes would be appreciated,Thanks in advanced
