[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
I know we have all heard about how 'bad' the camera on the Galaxy Nexus is. Most of the negative reaction to the camera is purely based on the megapixel count, not actual comparison shots. So, I thought it would be neat to actually see how the camera does in comparison to other smartphone cameras. I had a chance to test the Galaxy Nexus in comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Rezound, and HTC Droid Incredible. I took a picture of my cubicle wall with each, and then cropped each pic to a portion of the flag on my wall. I did not zoom in or out, merely cropped. Here is the result of my test:

Granted, this was a limited test in just one scenario, but I thought the Galaxy Nexus held it's own here. Anyone have any comparison shots they can share?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
I could post a comparison, but it would be between the GN and nothing and the GN would win.

As it's the only phone and camera I carry everywhere with me and therefore it's the best one at any given time that I need a camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwiftLegend:
Gnex photo looks the sharpest. The stars are a little washed out compared to the GS2 though.

Wth is with the yellow tint from the Rezound?

I think people are basing the quality of the photos on Mega pixel alone. They see 5MP compared to 8MP and just disregard the actual quality of the picture.

i don't have a direct comparison, but here's a couple of panoramic shots.

this one was taken with my Rezound:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
Yeah, the color on the Rezound, at least indoors under artificial light, is a little off. I took several shots and they all had that yellowish look to them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andi_P:
HI, i'd like to factory reset / relock my nexus.

It's a GSM, ITL41F.I9250XWKK9

All i did was unlock and install superboot.

So i thought all i need to do to unroot is to flash a stock boot.img and then do oem lock which will do a factory reset.

Is that right?

I grabbed the ITL41F file from here http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakjuitl41d but noticed that the build number says i9250XXKK1 (instead of XWKK9).

Can i just take the boot.img out of that archive or do i have to flash everything (bootloader, radio etc...) to make it work?

Many thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andi_P:
Ok was even easier than this.

Since paul's superboot doesn't actually flash anything i just booted it again to get adb root and then deleted the superuser.apk and su binaries and did oem lock.

I hope this was sufficient but it seems to work :)

Yes, that is all you had to do.

Anyone know about this transparent widget below? The one above the clock that's semi transparent.

It was one of the screens for go launcher but even with the launcher I couldn't find the right widget/app for it.

If you know what widget it is please let me know where I could get my hands on it. I must have it!

Also, wondering if you can make the stock ICS widgets transparent?

Thanks but I meant the widget ABOVE the clock. The one where you can set brightness, wifi, bluetooth..etc.

I think that it is Widgetsoid. At least you can make a widget like that using Widgetsoid.

Thank you very much :D

It's definitely widgetsoid

Can be Widgetsoid or "Extended Controls". Both are very similar

Hello friends.

Do you know huawie U8230 is have 2.3 stabil rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RolandXkalibur:
So I have a rooted LG Thrill 4g with clockwork recovery mod on it, and it was running the latest Thriller rom. Its on the AT&T network (booo!)

Unfortunately, I turned it off and tried to boot into the recovery by holding volume down and the power button (I have done this once before and it worked just fine). But this time nothing showed up; the phone didnt light up and there was no vibration, even if I tried to turn it on by just holding the power button. It is COMPLETELY unresponsive to normally turning it on. My guess is the device maybe had not entirely shut down when i tried to boot the recovery, possibly causing it to loop and brick itself?

Anyways, I got 2 new lg thrills from AT&T (didnt root them this time) and with my sim card in either of them, both tell me no sim card, emergency calls only. However the sim works just fine in a AT&T crap-phone I got for 20 bucks at walmart, thats not 4g or anything.

AT&T will send me a new sim card soon, but if anyone knows why my old sim card isnt being recognized, or how to unbrick or unroot my original LG Thrill I would be eternally grateful. I have to give it back to AT&T soon and if they find out it was rooted, they will probably charge me the full price of the phone *GASPS* Please help me out guys if anything comes to mind, thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RolandXkalibur:
Anyone help me out?? ^^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jessejess87:
I am in the same boat as you. i rooted my thrill and everything was going good. I powered it off and tried to cut it back on and it wouldnt cut on. So now it is unresponsive. Ive posted many threads asking for help and no on e will reply. Nothing. So I dont know whats going on. But my guess is we dont have any help on this topic. Many people and there bricks or they are stuck on loading loops but I cant even get mine to cut on.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animec:
So, I'm considering selling my nook color and buying one of the super-cheap novo 7 tablets instead. I'm just not sure how good an idea that would be!

I think that, performance- and software-wise, all the novo 7 tablets are--or will be--better. The 1080p video with hdmi output would actually be useful. I'd have money left over. The nook however seems to have a far better screen, with a higher resolution, has cm9 sorta on the way, and seems to have a slightly higher build quality (no real idea tbh).

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animec:
Thanks for the detailed response! :)

I dunno bout the Aurora but chinagrabber has a novo 7 elf for sale, and it seems to have a higher-res IPS screen. Has a mali-400 gpu, but I dunno how that compares to the vivante, and I can't find details on whether or not it has hdmi-out.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrColdbird:
I would be careful with this shop...

Inconsistent descriptions are usually one of many ways to fool endusers in buying crap...

What now? Novo 7 or Onda VI40? Fishy... very fishy...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animec:
I'm wary of the shop. I know some people who've been happy with their services, so it might just be the tech equivalent of "sweat and sore balla of pig" :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrColdbird:
I'm probably waiting for the Novo 7 Wizard...

I already contacted my favorite asia importer when to expect the new gen devices to be available... sadly, due to regulations and laws it will be a while until I can even dream of laying a finger on one of those...

Back to waiting I fear... unless someone finds a better alternative > Nook Color.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argivian:
personally i would recommend you on the incoming Onda Vi40 Elite which includes better specs with a more friendly price

ive a couple of mates pre-order them last week

hope i can get some feedback from afterwards
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrColdbird:
Just get the Novo 7 elf. Its what I ordered.

Same screen resolution as the nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-ROCK:
was it worth it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifiholly:
Hi, I have the Novo 7 Basic. If I were to compare the specs to the Nook Color that was released last October 2010, the nook would be better when it comes to display only (IMO). Both the nook color and my tablet do not have full market access, though with my ICS, I have more market access than the nook. You can fiddle around with the nook though, and add more market capability. The problem is that the Nook Color is running Froyo, which some consider to be smartphone tech and not tablet tech.

The Nook TABLET is a different animal, and was released November 2011. It looks lovely with it's IPS display and its Cortex A9 processor.

The Novo will be cheaper however, and I think comparable if you get the new Novo Elf. I would prefer the ELF with its Allwinner A10 processor to the Nook. For those who favour the Advance, there is a Advance 2 being released in February. It will have an A8 processor. I am unsure of which one the Wizard is, except I find the specs say Alwinner A10 processor, so maybe it is the similar to the ELF?

http://www.android-tablet-compariso...pare-android-tablets.php?t1=nookcol&t2=ainaur

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uPlayTablet:
NOVO 7 ELF ($149 at uPlay Tablet) is a much better choice than NOVO 7 Paladin ($129)

I have both Ainol NOVO 7 ELF and NOVO 7 Paladin. I would say it's definitely worth spending $20 more to get NOVO 7 ELF.

NOVO 7 Paladin is the cheapest Android 4.0 tablet (you can get it for only $129 at uPlay Tablet, Ainol's representative in US). It's quite nice, but it has a few drawbacks:

1. The screen edge is not flat. No like iPad and most of other tablets, where the front face of the tablet is flat, NOVO 7 ELF has edge higher than the screen. This is because Ainol used to be an MP4 maker, and such design is cheaper.

2. It's MIPS based, not ARM based. There are lots of apps simply won't run on it, including Facebook app.

On the other hand, ELF is a much better choice because

1. It's running the latest many-core Allwinner ARM based A10 CPU. It's even faster than my MacBook Pro when loading webpages.

2. High resolution screen. Its 1024x600 resolution is higher than iPad 2.

3. Very thin.

4. 4X HD.

5. It has a front facing camera for video conferencing!

6. It has a HDMI port to output HD video to your big screen TV.

7. It's ARM based, so you don't have apps compatibility issue as you see in NOVO 7 Paladin, which is MIPS based CPU.

The only drawbacks are:

1. No standard Android Market installed. But you can install it yourself by following the instruction in the forum on uPlay Tablet.

2. No back facing camera.

I'm unrooted, using the stock OS with Go Launcher, and I can't seem to move 2 games (Heavy Gunner and Monopoly) to the SD Card (SD Card in this case I assume means the 11 GB or so memory on the phone, not the external SD card). I keep getting "Failed to move application:". I have 10 GB left on my "SD card" USB storage. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
I dont really know but keep pressing move to sd, itll go through now out of nowhere sometime those apps that were moved will break after a reboot and youll have to uninstall and install again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
well, I tried moving another new app I got, and it failed to move also. So I don't think it's the particular apps that are the problem. Seems like the memory is corrupted or something.

I guess I'll try to keep moving it til it goes through, but it doesn't seem likely. This really sucks if I can't use the 10 free gigs on the phone now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Then leave it where it installs.. Apps install on USB storage first until you move them to external.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Don't they install first on the < 2.0 GB of phone memory? Then when I go to manage Applications, I do "Move to SD Card" and it moves it to the 11 GBs or so of USB storage. No applications are moved to my external SD that I'm aware of (I'm using the stock Move to SD option, not a third party app to move to external).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
The apps are moved to the external sd card, not the usb storage, make sure you have enough memory on it

Sent from Flip's SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
I'm almost positive doing "Move to SD card" in the Manage Applications menu moves the apps to the 11 GB or so of memory that came with the phone, NOT the external memory card. When I look at memory usage "On SD card", it says USB storage is 1 GB used and 10 GB free, and lists a bunch of the apps I was able to successfully move to "SD card". Also I don't see any signs of apps on my external card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Well I just moved a game that was on my sd card back to my phone and the available space on sd went up, moved it back to sd and space went back down, did this by going to settings> Applications and not by a 3rd party app

Sent from Flip's SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
I think when they say "SD Card", they mean the 10 gigs or so that's in the phone. And if you have a micro SD card that you put in the phone, they call that the "external SD card". It's very confusing but that's my understanding.

So I have 10 gigs free on the SD card, so the amount of free space shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone else had this problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Yes i know how it works, well i dont know but mine are on the external,

Sent from Flip's SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
well, I did some more searching and apparently this is a pretty common Android problem. And other Galaxy 2 owners are also saying the Move to SD Card option moves to external SD card for some, and phone storage for others, with no rhyme or reason.

Since my last post, I tried powering off and powering back on and moving to SD card again, and it finally worked for 2 apps, then started failing again.

This is pretty frustrating. Hopefully Ice Cream Sandwich fixes this bug.

After using an app called TS 2 which encrypts photos and videos, my Allstream began bootlooping. It would get to the Sense touchscreen, and as soon as i pulled the ring up, boot loop began. What was the possible cause of this ?

Also, I've been spending the last2 hours getting my tablet back to normal.thankfully, all my music and data is backed up online w google or Picasa or etc.

Though, like my synergy Rom on EVO, is there a way to enable the jetstream to automatically Download all the apps again when a flash or restore occurs? Is root needed for that?
