The Samsung

Galaxy

Nexus is a part of the

Galaxy

line.

The

Samsung

Galaxy Nexus radios are in fact from

Samsung

.

Three international Galaxy S II ICS builds have leaked so far - same TouchWiz. CM has already said we will have CM9 (ICS) by February.

Since buying the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be buying another Galaxy, I wish you well with your new iPhone. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
It's the GS debacle all over again... the international GS (1) got Froyo something like 6 months before the US variants. Hell, rumor is that Samsung was working on rolling out Gingerbread on it before we got the Froyo update.

If that doesn't tell you who's fault it is, I don't know what will.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h2g2:
The CPU is exactly the same - a pair of 1.2Ghz Cortex-A9 cores, same amount of cache, same NEON support, same dual-channel memory controller. The main asset of the Exynos SOC in the E4GT vs. the TI OMAP4 in the GN is the GPU.

That said, CPU may appear to be faster or slower depending on software optimizations so, for example, SunSpider might produce a better score on the GN due to the improved JS engine in ICS. But the underlying CPU cores in the SoC are identical.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevilStrider:
I won't buy another none pure google phone again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
I'll add another voucher for the argument against rushing to ICS. GB is quite stable, and the app compatibility is great. ICS doesn't bring much to table that can't be done otherwise. I'd take the upgrade if it were available, but there's nothing fancy about the GNex over the SGSII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Androidfreakz:
Ill be getting a galaxy nexus on sprint on day one. I love my phone I have now but cant wait on the nexus galaxy with lte and ics and 720p display. And I stay in Dallas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
So do I understand that Dallas is one of the pilot markets for Sprint's LTE? If it were me, that would be the only reason to jump to a GNex, but I'm not in an LTE area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
If I was in an LTE pilot market I'd order a nexus on day one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tooill:
i just wanna say this...Fataldesain ur a complete idiot lmfao. you obviously dont know what you're talking about, please do move to iCrap and leave us android people alone lol...

i dont think you know the Galaxy nexus IS a samsung phone... and it IS from the Galaxy line.

i really hope other people's post, including mine, have made u feel stupid about ever starting this thread.

Goodluck :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The delay is probably due to the terrible battery life reported on the first OTA'S that quietly got pulled. Android System and Android OS are crushing battery right now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lancair360:
Very well said indeed!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
With ICS?!?!!

I was REALLY hoping ICS would fix that crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
From what I have heard it isn't related to the OS, it is related to poorly developed drivers by the manufacturers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
Who the hell said I didn't know Samsung made the nexus. I have a nexus s and know that Samsung made that. Galaxy is in the damn name of the phone.

Galaxy nexus is the it phone right now. No other phone besides the iPhone is more popular. Nobody even knows about this phone. Most people know iPhone then other phones.

At the end of the day galaxy nexus does not have Los or any major issue like this phone did. Phones are at a point that hardware specs really don't matter. Look at the transformer prime its freak in quad core and its just as fast as a dual core.

The nexus is sexy period. Nobody knows or is thinking about the sprint epic touch 4g Samsung galaxy s2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
What a troll, you clearly haven't taken a good look at the prime, if you care about popular. You should have bought an iPhone the community obviously does not want you

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown_Hero:
I have to disagree fatal, I happen to work at Sprint and everyone is hyped up on the sgs2...even those who want to buy the iPhone are quickly turned away from it once they get a feel for the sgs2 on its huge superamoled screen. It makes the iPhone look like it fell out of a box of lucky charms dude lets be serious here the only people who actually want a freaking iPhone are the ones wearing a pair of $400 jeans and say "well it syncs with my music on my computer" lol. Honestly I don't even know a handful of customers who are anxiously waiting on the galaxy nexus. I'm sure there going to want the sgs3 when it arrives and for the Samsung radio, heck I'm getting a better signal and battery life coming from my HTC evo 3d...and yes I was skeptical at first but boy am I happy I switched the sgs2 is unmatched. At least know what your talking about before you throw some dumb **** online about smart phones please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h2g2:
Nothing you said made sense.

Nobody knows what a Galaxy Nexus is. The Nexus brand has nowhere near the same brand recognition that the iPhone brand or Droid brand has. I'm willing to be that even Sprint has built up more brand recognition for Evo than Google has for Nexus.

You're also confusing bleeding edge with general mass market appeal. The Galaxy Nexus is sexy in the same way that a Sandy Bridge-E is sexy - it's sexy on paper but most people will never hear of it and a fraction of those who know what it is will ever own one. Yes, the Sandy Bridge-E is sexy but guess what, most people are going to end up buying a Core i5. Doesn't mean the Sandy Bridge-E is a bad processor, doesn't mean it's not sexy either, but top of the line sexy means exclusivity which is the exact opposite of massive sales numbers. Haven't you ever wondered why there are so many Civis and Priuses on the road when Audis are so much sexier?

Ditto for Apple, by the way - launch numbers for new iPhone models are impressive and all but at the end of the day, more people are going to get an iPhone 3Gs for free or an iPhone 4 for $99 than shell out $199+ for the iPhone 4S. The press talks up the 4S because its sexy but the real movers are always the lower-priced, older models.

As far as hardware specs not mattering, you just need to look at every iOS device launch ever to see that that's nowhere close to being true. The only reason why it may not seem to matter on the Android side of things is the lack of software - Apple always has apps they can showcase at every new iOS device launch to demonstrate that the hardware matters.

Google has nowhere near the kind of developer relationships that Apple has to pull that off, but that's by Google's choice. It's not necessarily a bad thing and plays into Google's hands-off, open nature of the platform. But it does mean that the general consumer won't care about quad core processors until Apple releases a quad core iPad and showcases actual software that takes advantage of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
1. ICS isn't Touchwiz fault for it being delayed.. the original SG2 have leaked Touchwiz builds and they seem to run pretty perfect.. than again i don't have one to stand behind that so I'm just taking others word

2. The Galaxy Nexus is a great phone in its own way.. but i still would want my GS2 over it.. due to its specs and better camera

3. iPhones are like fashion statements.. People buy whats hot or whats exclusive and everyone has or can't get.. Apple made it clear in their ads and devices that specs don't really mater.. just look at the iPhone 4s.. us tech geeks know that spec was it was no different than a I4.. just a little speed boost..

the iPhone 4S is like you buying a car with 250HP and you adding a turbo to max it out to 300HP

The iPhone 4 is just stuck at 250HP without a turbo

People still bought it tho! regardless of how many people *****ed about it being the same.. and running the same IOS as every other Apple device it still sold over 1.2 million devices.. you can say its because of steve jobs death or what not. but like i said iPhones are fashion statements.. if you give a celeb a Galaxy Nexus n spot them in pictures or movies best believe everyone will want one later on.

Same goes for blackberries. people think they are the best business phones because thats what people label them and they see everyone with a suit n tie using them so they buy them..

thats just how i see it. If anything VZW does a better job at promoting Android than Google does. You might say the Droid Does commercials are pretty corny.. but look how far it bought Android!. Google did good marketing back when the G1 was first released because google solid aim was to prove that it can make something better than Apple.. now it seems like Google just took its own seat and careless about Apple and its products
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Hi I have an issue with the rosie.apk for sense 3.5.

I'm using apk multi tool, latest version.

i'm decompiling with dependencies using com.htc.resource.apk.

(i'm not trying to edit any m10 or smali)

I'm changing colors.xml. and some png's.

all goes through without any errors.

I then use adb to push to my htc raider.

and no images have changed and the new high light color has not changed.

is this an issue editing rosie from sense 3.5?

as I have edited rosie before and had no issue's, but it was a rosie from sense 3.0

Thanks for any guidance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Did you clear dalvik and cache after installing?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
No trying that now.

Thanks

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Hey Jirv311,

Do you have any ideas why i'm unable to pull the HTC_IME.apk from the zip download, the one for sense 3.5 and edit it.

Then adb push to my raider, then i have no keyboard, no keyboard under settings either.

But i can adb push the HTC_IME.apk that i have edited (the one in the rom folder) no problem.

It's killing me not being able to use the new keyboard with arrows and have it modded the way i want.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Yes I did come across that and saw it is for sense 3.0, would it work on sense 3.5?

editing the m10 is what i mean.

Thanks Pirateghost

Thanks for the suggestion and the time responding to my query, but no luck.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Just spent some time trying to decode fusion.apk to no avail. I believe the problem is this:

Got an unhandled image: Size=40:40 File=0x00011639.dat type=14

Type 14, I "think", is the same that Sense 3.5 uses (I'm on Sense 3.0) and as far as I've found, there is no way to decode them yet.

As for the keyboard, are you signing it after you make your edits? If so, you shouldn't.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Thanks foir the reply, no i'm not signing the HTC_IME.apk, i decompliled it with dependencies so i added com.htcresource.apk.

.maybe i should try option 9 just decompile it

I have been searching and searching and it appears we are unable to edit sense 3.5 and m10 files yet.

If I find anything new I'll post it here.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Yup, that's what I've found too, unfortunately.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Can we still mod com.htc.resources.apk?

I have a modded one but am lery of installing as i'm afraid it will mess something up, plus maybe there's not much to be changed with just the com.htc.resources.apk.

any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
FYI, i just adb the com.htc.resources.apk to my raider and no issue's, so as soon as i figure out how to zip my theme for easy install i will post it...

Please if you know of a good guide for zipping a theme for the raider let me know. I'm thinking because of the internal sd card it needs to be different. otherwise i would just use a theme zip from another device and add my apk's.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
thats all you need to do. you need to make sure the updater-script mounts the system properly.

just use my CWM_ROOT script, VER2, as it has the proper binary included as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Thanks Pirateghost, can you post a link to your CWM_ROOT script, VER2?

I just want to make sure i use the right one.

Hi Guys,

I have just started using the Nokia Lumia 800, really like it.

1 thing is with the Mix Radio thing I thought you could save the mix you are listening too and I also thought that it was a free service which didnt use any of your data allowance.

When I run the Mix app it warns me I may be charged if I am not using wifi and alos I cant see how to save the mix, so I was wondering if this is something Orange has done to modify the phone, any one know?

Thanks in advance
[Nokia Lumia 800] Shujitzu:
From what I understand this is a streaming service which will use data connectivity. So in the end it will use up your data allowance.
[Nokia Lumia 800] scarlet_pimp:
For some reason while reading the reviews and previews I got the impression that this was not included in your data allowance. If it is fair enough.

i have problem. I tried to root my galaxy nexus with the toolkit from Mark. So unlock just works fine but root failed maybe. My galaxy nexus shows only the line google and a lock symbol.

How can i just normal boot my gn?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You have to flash stock images in fastboot.

For the apps and massages i don't care. But i need my contacts.

I didn't sync my contacts with gmail, did that means that my contacts are lost?

Is there a way to recovery my contacts like files on a computer?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellycow:
Hi all.

I have a Korean version of the Galaxy Tab that I'm using in the US.

Model: SHW-M180S

Firmware: 2.2

Basebad: M180S.DL24.0810.ST

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 root@SEI-27 #1

Build: Froyo.DL24

What are my options for rooting / firmware flashing? I've searched the forums for the ROMs that I might be able to use, but I don't see anything listed specifically that fits.

If I didn't care about getting the modem working, does it matter which version I decide to use? I know the Korean version have a bit more hardware in it (mainly the over-the-air TV), but I don't care about that either as it's completely useless in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Thelgow:
I'm over in NYC and just picked this up on Saturday.

From what I've noticed at my desk It typically jumps 4g to E.

Then I got to thinking I don't recall if I've seen a 3g icon yet.

Is 3g still rolled up into 4g for the icon so I could have edge or something not quite 3g but slower than 4g?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I've had this phone for about a year and I have only seen the 3g icon once and that was very brief so I can't comment on the speeds..basically I'm either 4g (mostly) our edge. I'm in Boston btw.

I know this post doesn't help much. I just figured I'd give you my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] magda623:
I've been hearing a lot of things about the 3G/4G stuff. TMobile technically isn't 4G. Its actually 3.5G however they call it 4G. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is really the only true 4G network. I ran into this problem a few months ago before I unlocked my phone. When I unlocked it, I turned on all the frequency bands that this phone is capable of doing. I'm not sure where I got the info from but you can find how to do it on youtube. I hope I helped.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
Go to settings, scroll to bottom, select about, select status in the next menu and it should display all the connection info. If i were truly connected to 4g this page would tell me i am connected to hspa+ i assume? Where i live the only "4g" is verizons lte network, so i couldnt possibly be connected to 4g. I think its tmobiles marketing strategy... "hey i have 4g on my phone" - "realy? i have at&t and i dont even have it" - "you should switch" (tech dummies allways get "new fever" first) It could also be because tmobile doesnt want an uproar... Just think how many people would be angry if they bought a phone with 4g in its name and it didnt get 4g service in their area... id like to assume this wouldnt happen but i know it would.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey, I fell asleep reading all this! Joke

I was disgusted with my battery when I first got my nexus and although this is not a solution of any kind I just think unless you are prepared to root and use modified kernels you are wasting your time trying to save battery with the stock ones.

I use an apex kernel now along with some power saving features like turning off data and wifi when I turn my screen off (AOKP) rom. I use quick profiles to change my screen brightness as well and my battery performs pretty well.

Anyway just thought I would share. I hope whatever you do you get sorted but do consider rooting!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpowder1966:
So finally my questions are :

1) is this kind of battery life normal at all? (keep in mind that I'm using 3G version, none of that LTE battery killer crap)

Your battery life does not look that bad for a smartphone profile. Your screen is going to kill the most battery with LTE being turned off

2) what settings can I turn off to save some power? (the sync options? what are the negatives of turning those off?)

turn off bluetooth/GPS if not using. Use WIFI for DATA as that uses less battery then 3G. Turn down screen brightness. turn off syncing on facebook/twitter/social apps/google reader. you can manually sync them when you enter the apps. Also disable syncing on stock weather/news app.

3) I read in some of my search results that there's a file related to battery stats and if I kill it I might get better battery life out of the phone? (or are there other similar tweaks I can do on the file-manipulation level?)

You dont need to reset the battery stats to get better battery life. those posts have to do with repeated ROM flashing

4) efficient way / app to help save battery without rooting? Read about a few on this site already, but it always seem like you guys still have debates on whether they are effective or not

Without rooting, the saving battery methods above are your best bet.

Haig
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You will get around three hours of screen on time from your battery on 3G. Almost always. To the person who said use modified kernels always, that's not true. The stock 4.0.3 kernel gives excellent battery life for the GSM version.

The battery stats file makes a really negligible difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
your battery is basically normal. there's not much else you can do really, we all get about the same screen time and standby time.
