[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
How do you figure the rezound has better hardware?

It has an A8 processor with less than half the memory throughput of the GNex's processor. Screen is much less vivid and isn't even close when it comes to contrast. It doesn't have nfc. Yeah I'm going to have to disagree with you there.

That simply is not true. The A8 S3 snapdragon is not the same performance clock for clock. An A9 OMAP 4460 @ 1.0ghz > an A8 S3 snapdragon @ 1.0ghz.

The OMAP 4460 can do more faster because it has significantly more memory throughput than the S3 (more than double), then there's the difference in architecture. Just because the Rezound's processor is clocked higher doesn't make it faster at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Berzerker7:
The current dual-core Snapdragons are based on the Scorpion architecture Qualcomm has been using, similar to Cortex A8. The OMAP4 series uses Cortex A9 architecture. The CPU is quite a bit faster in the nexus. The Adreno 220 also does not "easily outperform" the SGX540. The SGX540 was quite a bit better than the Adreno 205, even at 200MHz, so I assume an SGX540 @ 384MHz is comparable to the Adreno 220, if not better.

Hardware codename is different from software distribution codename. CDMA hardware codename is toro, while the GSM's is maguro. The general distribution codename for CDMA is "mysid" and for GSM, it's "yakju."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odin13:
by any means...gooooo and buy the gnex now!!!!

if i may speak for myself;

it is by far the most beautiful phone i've ever owned and performance is really great... since flashing the correct bootloader for 4.0.3 roms my batterylife has been really great too ( a day off the charger with pretty heavy use is no problem anymore )

i've got the now for a month or so and i still can't leave it alone :) playing with it constantly ( since my batterylife sort of doubled this behaviour got worse :D )

my setup:

rom: aokp build 14

kernel: imoseyon's lean kernel 1.4

baseband: I9250XXKK6

bootloader: PRIMEKL01
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
I wouldnt say OMAP4 is quite a bit faster. The benchmarks I've seen show Scorpion a equal to or a little faster. And that's with sense slowing it down.

Also where do you come up with SGX540 is quite a bit better than Adreno 205? Those two were roughly the same in performance, and adreno 220 is at least 2x the performance of 205. Rezound gets almost 20fps in Basemark and gnex almost 9fps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
I wouldn't focus too much on CES.

The Galaxy S 2 got announced at CES, and came out maybe 7 months later or so (in America).

I also notices that the phone got a little bit warm after a while, but undervolting it, underclocking it, or simply setting the brightness a notch down makes it cool again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
yaaaaawn. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
That true when I think about it even if they announce some awesome S3 phone, and say it would come to verizon, it going to come with their TW overlay, yeah I can root and get rid of it but I know for a fact with my fascinate if I tried to go with any other non - TW rom, I had tons of issues, because from what i understand samsung never released the drivers (don't quote me ).

So whatever phone will get announced i am sure none will be stock ICS.

Now I just have to get to the store and buy it. I got to do it before the giants game!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coggster:
I have just recently got the GN and I am liking it so far. I have already scratched the screen though and I have never done that on any other phone I have owned. Thankfully it isn't visible once all the colours are on the screen so isn't that big a deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Ok just got back from the store with my new Nexus =) Yeah!!1

I tested everything before I left store, no dead pixels, phone quality is good, speakerphone seems fine to me.

Also nexus screen looks great on low or high brightness i see nothing that people are talking about in other thread.

I already got a pop up to update to 4.0.2 that was fast.

I have no 4G coverage at home, but I was expecting that, it seems to be a solid 2 bars of 3G and seems to be fine.

I am going to give it a week at least before I root and put any custom mods just want to see how it is stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
MWC (feb) will be the place where new high end phones like GS3, HTC edge will be announced. And good luck Verizon or other US carrier getting it :)

Unless you are with ATT or T-Mobile in which case you can import from europe, best case scenario is September if Verizon decides to pick up GS3. You know the US carriers generally need time to bastardize the device like put their crap, logo and tons of time to test on their awesome network.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You should at least "fastboot oem unlock" before you start setting up your phone. This will not interrupt any OTAs. This does not mean you're rooted. It is still stock, all you're doing is just unlocking the bootloader. So when you do want to root, you can just use Titanium Backup and back up all your apps & data.

I'm glad you like it so far. Its the best phone out there period and once you get it unlocked and rommed you're going to like it even more. I'm still within the 14 day period-and I was having doubts about battery life, signal, scratch easy screen...all that ppl are saying here...but now after unlocking it and flashing a rom ....(: This phone is a beast and beats about any phone out there with the beautiful screen alone!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SouthernEvo:
To be honest I love this phone .I used to have HTC products before jumping ship . Sense on HTC is nice but I never really utilized anything that sense brought to the table . I was also on Sprint which had horrid data speeds , so I jumped to Verizon . This is my first Nexus phone I have ever had and I can honestly say I love the network and the phone as is . Previously on HTC phones I was always rooting them and stripping most of what I could of Sense out of them anyways . This has been my first phone Im content with how it is without rooting or modification . Its clean , smooth , fast does what it needs to and thats it . I say its a good phone for the hardcore rooting and rom type user right down to the simple setup and forget it user .
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
OK, I don't get this. I see a great dev, with what appear to be some of the best hacks and ROMs available for our tab, but he's like, blacklisted here or something? What gives?

I've almost installed a Thor ROM a few times, main thing that's stopped me is the rotation lock switch doesn't work, as of last time I saw it, and thats something I use a lot. His ICS ROM is one of the fastest developed ICS ROMs I've ever seen. Why doesn't XDA, which is the go-to android site, not support his work? :confused:

Exactly what the title says. I'm using the stock camera app and I edited the shortcuts for the timer and such, but once I exit the app they reset. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I have also experienced this a few times. I think its been fixed in the 2.3.6 roms because I havent lost the shortcuts since I updated from 2.3.5.

What version of android is on your T989?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Glen_PxC:
I have 2.3.5 didn't bother updating because it was a lot of work to unroot update and re root so I'm waiting til ics comes out to update.

Can anyone give me some tips on taking good pictures with the camera on the phone?

Unless I'm in natural daylight, the pictures I take are almost always blurry or glossy looking.

I've enabled the anti-shake option and this seems to have helped some, however, it is still pretty bad. I've seen examples of pictures taken with this camera that look amazing, but I can never reproduce this.

Please help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChuckaDucky:
Do you manually focus, like tap-to-focus? You should try to and see if it helps. Maybe if the photos are blurry, either clean the camera lens if its dirty (you may want to check!) and go to setting in the camera app (stock or whatever the one you use) and make sure the focus mode is auto focus (or in some other apps Manual focus) and then try again. You really can take unbelievable photos with the phone.:D Me being a photographer for the past 6 years, it truly is awesome.

Here are some of mine I took all through the stock camera app untouched.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DLarva:
What settings were you using on the camera app to take the one of the fanta?

I've been doing some experimenting and I'm finding out that unless I'm outside, with lots of natural light, I need to use the flash, anti-shake, and often set ISO to 100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DLarva:
Oops, I should have said reduce the exposure to -2.0 or ISO to 200 or 100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChuckaDucky:
I set the exposure to -1.0, everything else auto so I'm not quite sure.

[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
Quite a post!

From all your post there is no mention that you formated and did a factory reset after 21a flash.

Can you please try that if you haven't?
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
thank you for the reply!

i tried all 4 wipe options on the recovery screen then rebooted. it's the same, i'm back at the good old recovery again :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
Did you try with the external sd card out?

This is strange, usually a kdz flash coupled with a format fixes the problem.

Some how it still can't find the internal SD card.

I don't have further recommendations. Sorry :-)
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
yes i tried with the external sd card out. it didn't work..
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
Hopefully someone else on this forum can suggest a way for you to unbrick.

your problem is although you have reset your phone, somehow it can't find a partition to boot from.

or

somehow the KDZ flashing is not totally successful.

good luck
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
If only there could be a way to be able to use the adb command from the Android SDK then i might be able to restore the vold.fstab file to its original, if the problem is that at all. Maybe then it'll work. To be able to flash the CWM Recovery again somehow might be a good thing too because it has more options like flashing .zip format roms but i have no idea how. Does anyone know if the stock recovery can flash some specifically named file to the system, does it have that kind of functionality? I'm desperate, please share your thoughts.
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
.............anyone?
[LG Optimus 3D] crime_of_heart:
I am sorry to say that but there is no solution for this problem yet. I have done the exact thing that you do and tried every single solution with no luck. The only way is to send it to lg repair service. My solution was to replace the mainboard.

Dostum gecmis olsun malesef tek cozum yolu anakarti degistirmek. Uzaman sayilirim android konusunda bosuna ugrasmayasin diye soyluyorum. LG servisi bile anca anakarti degistirerek cozum sunabildi. Temel problem internal karti formatlamis olman. Partititon table'i bozuyor bu islem malesef ve bu yuzden hicbir yontem ise yaramiyor.

:(

Gecmis olsun tekrar...
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
so you say that the main problem was to format the internal sd card? well if formatting the internal sd card bricks the phone then why the hell is there an option to format it in the settings menu?
[LG Optimus 3D] crime_of_heart:
well if you didn't apply the swap fix, it wouldn't be a problem to format. When you swap the sd cards and format, it is the problem.
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
so you did exactly the same thing as me right? i mean you applied the swap fix then formatted the internal sd?

replacing the motherboard to fix this seems to be a bit nonsense to me to be honest. what does the partition table have anything to do with the motherboard?

if only there would be a .kdz format custom rom which factory resets the internal sd card during the flash process and maybe fixes the bootloader somehow, that might be the solution.
[LG Optimus 3D] crime_of_heart:
yes i did the same and the only solution was to replace the motherboard. we need a sowftware that can reach to the emmc in low-level. like omap flasher. but we also need the correct drivers which doesn't exist yet.
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
i don't know what the emmc is, i need to do research on that. but i still think that replacing the motherboard won't solve this issue because it seems non relevant to me. i messed up with the vold.fstab file. but after that it worked fine. i mean the internal and external cards swapped just fine. only after i decided to make a nandroid backup using rom toolbox all hell broke loose. i plan to wait a couple of days before turning the phone to LG service. i believe someone will come up with an idea.

yardım etmeye çalıştığın için teşekkür ederim bu arada :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Marcovecchio:
Well, there´s a new recovery for the O3D, v5.0.2.7 (I got it with ROM Manager).

It fixes 2 bugs of the previous (5.0.2.0) version: now the USB mass storage option in the mounts menu works (mount external SDCARD), and we can use ADB while in recovery. That way we can fix stuff in the phone filesystem while in recovery: we can now use ADB shell, or ADB push to replace files.

The problem is that I don´t know how to flash it to the phone while in the stock recovery. If someone can guide me on creating a signed ZIP containing this new recovery, flashable in the stock recovery, I would be glad to do that and post it here. I think these phones of you guys can be fixed using this method!
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
Great news! But now i need to find a way to install the new CWM. Just as you said i believe what i need is to find or make a .kdz update which includes this new CWM.

What do you think?
[LG Optimus 3D] Marcovecchio:
I know this is possible, at least for the Galaxy Ace: I have a ZIP file for this device with a custom recovery image, flashable in stock recovery!

To make one for the Optimus 3D, I need to know the following:

- How can I obtain the .IMG of the new recovery? I have found some temp files in clockworkmod folder in my sdcard. The creation date of one of them matches the exact moment I upgraded my recovery, and the file size also matches a recovery image: 5.54MB. Is it the recovery image? Can I just rename it to recovery.img? How can I extract it to ensure it´s ok?

- After I get the recovery image, I can use the Galaxy Ace ZIP as the base to build the O3D zip file. Any help on what do I have to change to make it work correctly?
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:

If your having problems with both stills and videos, then it is likely related. You can attach jpg files to your post. You can upload vids to YouTube and post the links here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DLarva:
Here are a few example shots.

The 1st shot is with the camera settings at default. The 2nd shot has anti-shake on. The 3rd shot has auto-contrast enabled.

As you can see they are all grainy and blurry even though I'm taking an image of something that is not moving.

The light produced from an overhead halogen. However, the pictures turn out similar under standard incandescent, fluorescent, or any other non-natural lighting. Also I tried out several other settings without any improvement (e.g. setting white balance to incandescent, setting the scene to party indoor, using macro focus instead of auto, etc.).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
That's sensor grain. It happens when there is insufficient light as the sensor has to work harder to expose the scene and it heats up. Also, since the scene is so dim the camera is using a slower shutter speed, which results in some camera shake that causes a less sharp photo. Can you take a pic with the flash on? Also, if you are expecting Canon-level photography from this (or any cell phone camera) expect to be disappointed more often than not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DLarva:
Cool, thanks so far. I will try it with the flash on. I have taken pictures in a lot of indoor light and if anything is moving the whole image is blurry. Sometimes it looks like the air is shimmering.

Perhaps what I need to do is to use something other than auto ISO?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nope, just like Miami_Son said, auto flash will make the difference. That or bright enough lighting. Try it during the day time.

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Like I said, in low light the camera will pick a slower shutter speed, which causes camera shake and blur of anything moving. What seems well lit to the eye is different for a camera sensor. Either use flash or turn on more lights. You can try turning up the ISO, but that can also increase grain.
