[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoX_XDA:
Hi all -

Wanted some opinions from anyone that used to have the EVO 3D and made the switch over the this phone.

I've been a long time fan of HTC, however I want something different, better (?) and of course native ICS.

Is this THE phone to have right now or is the Droid Razer a better option?

I'm an advanced user, I flash ROMs , root etc.. I know what's up..

Thanks!

I personally made this jump myself . For starters leaving Sprint and going to any network (atleast in my area) will give you lightyears better service . I now have high speed 3G access compared to Sprint . Im sure this will be the same regardless if you are going to Tmobile or Verizon or AT&T . Second the device , at one time I held HTC in high regards with their devices even though the battery life left something to be desired . I feel the Nexus gets better battery life then the EVO 3D ever could dream of . The screen on the Nexus makes the Evo3D screen look like crap in my opinion . Overall I havent missed the 3D since I jumped ship. I to used to flash roms and kernels on the EVO3D but I have found even though I rooted my Nexus as it stands by itself with out messing with it . The Nexus is a very enjoyable phone to use straight out of the box . Some say Samsung has a plastic like feel to it . To be honest most of my phones are always in a case so I dont really notice it all that much . Personally I dont think you will miss Sense that much unless you really utillized all the things sense put into android . Me I never really used much of the sense aspects of the HTC's , I always rooted them and went to the closest to AOSP I could get . On the development side of things , Roms and kernels are starting to pick up pace . With the Nexus being a developer phone in the first place there is always going to be a following with it . Unlike the transition I expierenced when I went from the EVO4G to the EVO3D . Development for the 4G was great lots to choose from then went to 3D and HTC's poor handling of unlocking the bootloader and the devs migrated to other phones and the Evo line development stalled out . Atleast in the 3D side of things it did in my opinion . Overall I I dont miss sprint and its unlimited slow as hell network . The Evo3D is a thing of the past to me and I laugh everytime I see one now knowing I used to have one . Also as a side note I feel the Nexus 5 MP cam takes way better pics then the EVO3D 5MP ever did . This is nothing more than my opinion gathered from my own expierence so take it with a grain of salt . But personally I dont think you will be disappointed .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Since RAZR is Motorola. And this is a Nexus device, you stated you flash ROMs.

I'd go with Galaxy Nexus because its a developer phone and you'll get great support with numerous developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
I made the jump. (TLDR at the bottom)

Network

Verizon's network is miles better than Sprint's. I get service in places that Sprint doesn't even know exist. For 4G networks there isn't even a competition. With Sprint I topped out at 7 Mbps. With Verizon if I get anything less than 20 I think there is a problem. Coveragewise I've driven 80 miles and haven't left 4G coverage yet.

Phone

The Galaxy Nexus is skinny and curvy at the same time. It is way thinner and lighter than the brick Evo 3D I used to carry around. Be careful, the Galaxy Nexus is very delicate. I dropped it once and it cracked the screen. I remember one time I dropped my Evo 3D and it cracked the sidewalk. The screen is not as big as people try to make out to be and it looks beautiful (at higher brightnesses, it can look very bad at lower brightness). If you think your Evo 3D speaker volume is too low you are in for a rude surprise with the Galaxy Nexus. The speaker on this is quieter than Britney Spears' dietitian. I got pretty good battery life with Evo 3D but the Galaxy Nexus is better. I just imagine how much better it will be when the fix these bugs in ICS (more on that later). Earpiece quality is slightly better. Sound quality through headphones is immensely better. The NFC hardware included is a bonus. I don't know if this is hardware or software but the Galaxy Nexus charges freakishly fast. It is the fastest charging phone I have ever seen.

Stock ICS vs Sense Gingerbread

You already know. I don't even run a ROM because ICS is that good. Smooth as a baby's bottom. I have some complaints but most of those are not ICS faults, they are general Android faults. I HATE HATE HATE the contact pictures. If somebody calls you it shows a blurry low-res (but blown up to almost full screen) picture if they don't have Google+. It has been this way for a long time but the problem is worse now. When I see this 96x96 picture blown up on my gorgeous 720p screen I wanna puke. As far as ICS (HC) specific complaints, you might have a problem with the lack of USB mass storage. Also, the option to share a contact with a text message is gone. You can only share them via email or bluetooth. Finally ICS suffers from a horrible bug that causes "Android OS" to keep the phone awake for a crazy amount of time. If I leave it sitting idle overnight (8 hours), Android OS keep awake time will be 7+ hours. It doesn't let the phone sleep properly and causes unnecessary battery drain. Despite this I leave LTE on all day and still get better battery life than the Evo 3D.

TLDR:Verizon is way better and faster than Sprint. The Galaxy Nexus is way sexier and prettier than the Evo 3D. ICS is way better than GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoX_XDA:
Thanks everyone!

These are all great replies. Very insightful. I just need to make up my mind once and for all.

Upon my searches through the interwebz I come across Sprints Landing page for the Nexus.

( I can't post links here yet due to post count, I've been banned 3 times! for making the MODs cry) :D

That certainly puts a kink in my plans. The main issue being is that no other carrier offers truly unlimited data. They milk you for an additional addon package that is always ridiculous.

I pay a flat 130 a month, NO MATTER how many text, web data, etc are used. My company uses an exchange account as well, EVERY email has a 500KB picture or some kind of attachment. 200+ emails a day received. I use a lot of data.

With Sprint getting this phone and LTE sometime this year, it's tough for me to move now.. But I will keep everyones posts in mind.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samzebian:
I also switched from the Evo 3D, and do not regret it whatsoever.

First of all, I was SO sick of Sprint's 3G service (if you could even call it that), and 4g? I got it almost nowhere. It's night and day going from Sprint to Verizon.

Now the phones themselves are somewhat similar, large screens with good ppi, 5mp decent cameras, kinda ****ty battery life, 1.2ghz dualcore processors, same ram, etc.

The thing about the Nexus is that in almost every one of those specs, it's at least slightly better. Not to mention it's got ICS, the bootloader easily unlocks, and no wait for root after OTAs.

I thought I would hate the side power button, the super plasticky design, and the single-led flash that's all been known to come from Samsung. Honestly, I love the power button on the side, with a screen this large (and even the Evo's screen), it's much easier to push with your thumb instead of the top. The plastic is only on the back really, and feels much tougher and well put together than my 3Vo. And the single LED flash is still plenty bright and works great for pictures.

I thought I would miss 3D, even just a little bit. Not so, I don't miss it. I mean, it was cool at parties, but that was about it. You are going to LOVE how quickly the nexus takes pictures, I feel like I'm walking around with a DSLR that can snap 5 pictures a second, it's awesome!:D

A tip: if you can buy out an old verizon contract, even if they aren't upgrade eligible, do it just for the unlimited data. Verizon 4G is super easy to eat through your data cap. I almost did this (would have lost my number) but then found the "hack" to get unlimited data, which is still in effect. Also, try to get on a family plan if you can, I switched myself from Sprint and my family from ATT, and I'm now paying almost half of what I did on a single Sprint account, with insurance and no discount! Btw, look to see if there is currently a way to get out of Sprint ETF free, I did it in September when they made a materially adverse change by adding a small $2 fee to everyone's bill, so getting to verizon didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Long story short: Get the Gnex if you can get unlimited data. Otherwise, plan on using WiFi whenever possible, and still get the gnex. I wouldn't advise if you plan on using cloud storage for music, because I use google music a LOT, and it EATS data. Also, but the extended battery, worth every penny.

If you have time to read my weird phone situation:

Unfortunately, I did end up having to use a burner phone for 3 months while I waited and waited for the Gnex to arrive. That was an aggravating 3 months, it was literally the worst POS phone ever. It had a cracked screen, was an extremely damaged and scratched to hell Samsung flip phone I got out of a recycling bin for phones I used to get out of my sprint contract before the last day to get out ETF free without losing my phone number. It had pr0n of the previous owner's wife on it too, crazy stuff. Worst thing was it only held 50 text messages, kept having to erase my old ones.

Anyone tried this? On an Active? Just curious.

Wanted to give it a try this but do not understand how and what needs to be done.

Whether this works on CM, or just to stock rom?

Same goes to me, i would really like to try it but i can not understand much of the second part of the post "How to this sense and the rest of it" he somehow managed to invent new kind of hybrid languange (bahasa indonesia + english) maybe :p sorry. I think google translate is the culprit. I do speak malay which is not really much different from indonesian but i can't get what he is trying to explain. I hope he can explain better.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
Gan, scripts2 utk apa ya? A bit lazy to see araund what is inside them. :-P but i can see some scripts for system mounting, zip align etc.

Copied all the files to init.d folder and permission reverted back to rwxrwxrwx by itself every reboot. I guess no need to change the permission after all once you copy it over to init.d folder?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Magnumutz:
Any chance this would work on the Xperia Play as well?

Or is it optimized only for the mentioned ones?

Sounds good. Any chance to work on Galaxy S 2 (I-9100)?

Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alifdroid:
i will try for X8..

for installation

-Copy the script in to etc/init.d

-permission on one page soon:D

-if this tweak not work

-try copy one by one...to be better...set permission one by one

-the meaning one by one is copy the script one to etc/init.d and set permission and reboot system

-i was try this on Live(i have)Xperia Mini(my mother have)Xperia minipro(my father have this phone)

Goodluck guys:D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vesparados150:
Hi there,

thanks for Posting this.

I when through your init.d script and wow u have a lot of em...as for the battery part, i see you commented 2 lines..

echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs

echo "1000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

* for those of you wants an alternative way to do this,

1) just create a new .txt file with your favorite notepad and copy this code

#!/system/bin/sh
#battery saving vm parameters
echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo "1000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

2)rename it to whatever u like and remove the ".txt"

eg; correct way 20batterysaver

wrong way 20batterysaver.txt

3) adb push to system/etc/init.d

and set permission to as stated by the OP

and easier alternative is to use root explorer.

u can check wether it is right or wrong by using adb

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs

hope that helps...a simple thank you will do..=P

im sure it will work on most devices as im using this on my O2x too..

but im abit curious bout the extreme parameters eg. vm heapsize set to 72m in other scripts.. i Think that is a little too much. and also, the 20sick script wipes cache and dalvik cache everytime the device reboots. this will take an awful lot of time to reboot and i think it beats the purpose.

Others might wanna pick the scripts listed wisely if they do. its only my humble opinion anyway. please do correct me if im wrong cos im no android expert. Just sharing my take on it. and dont forget to thank the OP

regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Sorry but most files in this init.d folder are crap.

01sysctl makes no sense as it reloads sysctl settings but none were changed ^^

05modules will do nothing as there is no ipv6 module ^^

06mountdl will fail as there is no /mnt/emmc _._ (silly mounting heh? explanations?)

07internalsd will look if /data/sdcard exists (in most cases it DOES NOT) and erase all contents in it and recreate it (oO wooot why? but as I said this folder does not exist unless you created it)

08internetspeedtweaks also does not save battery and maybe slow you internet... changing these values is very very dependent of network capacity. This values only have effect when tested in labors or ba mass people. keep them default is better...

09misckerneltweaks are the same like the 08one... keep that default may be better. maybe the setting won't work and thus won't have effect...

10batterytweaks won't work like 08 and 09 because of missing shebang line but contains values that MAY have effect on battery but they also can do the opposite or have no effect ^^ see comment from vesparados150.

ah sorry guys I don't want to go further this is enough research for me... but I don't trust this package. Sorry Alifdroid with respect to you effort but I don't think you haven't spent much work in it. It looks like a copy and paste work frickled together form different forums and threads of different devices. I won't blame you so feel free to tell us what you did or what you are planning to do (updating, optimizing). But current state of this is unusable.

Warm regards,

snoopo

My experience with android-wifi-tether went from PURE AWESOMENESS under the 4G LTE network to complete crap under the 3G network. However, I found a solution that will work for now.

It turns out that the Gingerbread operating system removes the MSS clamping feature in the wifi tether program. Since EVDO networks are different from LTE networks, they both use different MTU values. It appears that once you leave the LTE network while tethering, the MTU doesn't change automatically within wifi tether with the LG Revolution phone. So here's the solution for those who are traveling in a EVDO network with the Revo.

Conditions:

On EVDO network

Using gingervolt 1.3

Using Windows 7 Professional PC (64bit)

Using this fix in Tulare County, CA (No LTE here yet)

Problem:

android-wifi-tether 3.1 BETA11 doesn't tether properly under EVDO network

What Works:

Pinging

What doesn't work:

Everything else (http, ftp, etc...)

Solution Attempts:

wipe phone - failed

Working Solution:

Change MTU settings with the PC's wifi card

Instructions:

Change your MTU settings of your WIFI card to 1024 while tethering

Run "cmd" as a administrator

Run "netsh"

Then enter this "interface"

then "ipv4"

then "set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1024 store=persistent"

Note: Make sure you have the correct name of the card. Mine was "Wireless Network Connection" since I only have one WIFI card on my laptop. You can check by going to the "Change Adapter settings" window inside "Network and Sharing Center"

Once you are done tethering, return the MTU to 1500 with the same method or else your wifi card will not be able to talk to anything else.

Enjoy!
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Actually, I haven't had any issues with 3g, 4g, wifi, hotspot, etc with MTU settings using MTU=1458.

Set Windows or Linux (Have not tested MacOS) to that and you shouldn't have any issues. I never change them, even when going to a standard WiFi Access Point.

Here's a great site (basically explaining your process) showing the procedure in Windows 7 that might help you or others out that I found a while back when I had issues:

I just tried 1458. Some websites work but response from the same websites were slow in Tulare County, CA
[LG Revolution] drt054:
You should have posted/checked this under Themes and Apps section.. there are multiple threads on tethering already.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
I was going to mention that in my reply post. Forgot. :)

I agree. Or at least General section.

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] drt054:
sure you were :P
[LG Revolution] jmprince80:
dnsmasq arguments are hard-coded into the built-in android wifi tethering, but there is a way around this, which means automatically pushing the MTU to connecting devices via dnsmasq
