[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sahilk:
Phone is definitely laggy at times. Its annoying considering I bought this at full price $685. My sensation never had lag like this. Might consider going back to it once it receives ICS update.

Lag on galaxy nexus is just random. When in an app or browsing the web and then going back to the home screen, everything just reloads again (Widgets, icons). Not even using a live wallpaper.

People keep saying oh wait for this version of Android or that version, then the lag will go away. This has been said since 2.1.

I don't want to root my phone, because I have had nothing but issues with rooting and installing custom rooms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
Sure it makes a difference, like in the order of 20%. Any LWP that has zero lag on Gnex is also going to have zero lag on Nexus S too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NiMiNuM:
Best wallpaper!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I never have any lag or experience any issues with native Android.

Any lag caused is most likely from apps being not compatible or optimized for Ice Cream Sandwich yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That settles it then. Nexus S performance > Galaxy Nexus performance.

On a more serious note. How can you judge hardware inadequacies on lwp experience when it runs games fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
What live wallpapers have zero lag?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
When it comes to running gpu intensive applications at native resolution, yes. Performance doesnt scale linearly with clockspeed.

"running games fine" is a very subjective thing. Try running the same games side by side on a gnex and a nexus s and see for yourself that the nexus s runs games at a higher framerate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Only the Android beam phase (or something like that)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Thanks for this. I went straight to bitmap wallpaper when I found the lag to be unacceptable with the live wallpapers. I guess I didn't give phase beam a try. It's smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serialtoon:
The only phone i have ever owned that didnt have lag with LWP was the Galaxy S2. But that thing has a beast of a GPU :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Galaxy4 and Phasebeam from Google. There are others I am sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
Welcome to galaxy nexus

I can confirm its lagging on 4.0.3 as well I've got live wallpaper and its jerky

Frankly this phone needed a much better hardware than an year old galaxy S2 with ICS which Google has more or less dished it out as
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
The gpu in the gs2 is extremely overrated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Have you tested this, or assuming? I'd love to see your results in screencaps and tabulated data.

As much as I hate benchmarks, run nenamark2 on a Nexus S and a Galaxy Nexus. From submitted results, GN is a few frames faster. Its no Mali, but it isn't slower than the Nexus S at the higher resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
I no longer own my nexus S, but I could easily see that my gnex runs games at a lower framerate. backbreaker was 60fps on my NS, its lower than that on my gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
The SGX 540 is superior to the Mali.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Does it have an fps counter? If not, how did you judge it? Did you test them both on the same OS? Is Backbreaker ICS optimized?

Many factors to think about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
While the SGN GPU is an "old" model many people fail to take into account that it is integrated into the TI OMAP 4460 CPU(s) in newer faster ways (higher memory bandwidth etc.).

Is it the fastest GPU on the market? Probably not. Is it adequate for the next ~2 years? Quite likely, as it is running all the current top tier stuff flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I don't know what's up but I've seen many LWPs run like crap on the GN and then it updates and then run flawlessly.

Its something with the wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Celeras:
How many frickin threads do we need to point out that some of the live wallpapers are laggy? Yes, we know. It's the infancy of a major OS revision, it happens. Go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Does backbreaker turn on extra special effects on the gn?

I have both the nexus s and galaxy nexus and I know that modern combat 3 on the nexus s runs smoother than the galaxy nexus.

However, there are more special effects (motion blur, smoke effects, heat distortion) enabled on the galaxy nexus than on the nexus s and that was causing the slower performance on the gn vs the nexus s.

In areas where those effects are not enabled the speed is about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
Doesnt have an FPS counter but I can easily spot the differences in framerate between 30-60fps.

Tested on nexus S with ICS and gnex, nexus S runs faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Call me what you will, but human perception is far too deceptive for me to go by that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
Luckily for you, you belong to the group of people who dont notice the difference between 30 and 60fps and all the fluctuations in between.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No, I belong to a group that needs to see hard numbers and does not trust human perception alone...whether myself or anyone else's. Too many people on these forums fall for placebos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Miniassassin23:
i think live wallpapers slow all android phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serialtoon:
My eyes and games didnt think so.

The only time Nexus hardware was superior was with the Nexus One. Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are more about having a superior development platform. Isn't that why we all bought it? Sluggish or not, the phone is a feat in engineering and design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Agreed and they use more battery life. In my opinion, live wallpapers is like Face Unlock.

It's something you play around with as a feature but you don't use it on a day-to-day basis.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robt772000:
I just used a CM7 Nexus one and all I can say is if anyone thinks the GN lags then do a back to back. I laughed so hard when holding both phones next to each other swiping. The GN is a smooth rocket ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] add119:
The only thing nexus one had better was super amoled display when it was release and 1ghz speed but droid 1 got speed faster overclock a month later in feb 2010. Then what made nexus one great was 512 mb ram for only 2 month. Htc then release htc desire and spinoff of it with better specs droid incredible 1 month later.

Nexus series have never last longer then month or two without a device being better then. Heck even droid 1 had better resolution,gpu and other thing.

Nexus s was a spinoff of the galaxy s . Im thinking it wasnt named nexus two because sammy wanted the s to stand out.

Nexus s was only great because of the latest update google like holding for several months, before allow manufacture to release to their line.

Droid 2 global was better on cpu but not on gpu back then. But, htc mytouch 4g was better then nexus s based off 768 mb of ram and the same with desire hd .

Nexus s was only good for only google lover not specs wise. Because beside adreno 205 being weaker then power vr chip 540 it wasnt as impressive when you have device already surpassing it specs wise.

Galaxy nexus was similar droid razr when it release beside two area screen size,resolution and camera.

Best phone for 2011 belong to Htc rezound like it or not g-nexus was best specs to me it was second best and if u like sd storage then droid razr can be said the same as verizon was selling 16 gb or 32 gb of internal storage for razr.

Htc rezound was overclouded by the galaxy s2 because of the device being bigger in size @ 4.52 inches display.

Nexus 4 was spinoff lg optimus g . Which was better nexus 4 for two reason better camera (13 megapixes ,and more memory then internal storage with sd as option.) Note that Xperia ion was first android to release double digit camera on rear with 12 megapixes before lg.

Droid DNA have better spec then nexus 4. Based off PPI, resolution in full HD 1920x1080

If you go by what the best the Nexus line wont never be the best just good developers phone for gaming,video editing, and google update to be first for bragging right.

Trust me i had nexus s,nexus 7 and nexus 4 . I like the device but if i want a better hardware i either will wait for motorola or someone else to release device and make judgement before purchasing a device. Since Android 2.3.5 or 4.0+ I dont really care for pure google. If i want pure google i root like majority people even with nexus people do this .

To me their is no point in buying a nexus unless you like update first and dont want to root a device. If you want update first and want to root for pure google then you can get other devices for latest and greatest hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Glotzeulor:
You sir, are a grave digger!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] add119:
Not true because even my droid 1 wasnt lagging on most lwp . Widgets and shortcut apps make the device lag more then live wallpaper do.

[Acer Iconia A500] CharlieSummers:
Reading through these forums has been a real education; much thanks to everyone for posting and sharing!

I was given a reconditioned A500 by a friend (obviously a very good friend!), stock Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 with Android v3.0.1. Rooted with Gingerbreak, everything running fine. Really love the tablet.

Anyway, been looking over all of the choices for upgraded ROMS so graciously provided by members of the community, and hit a little analysis-paralysis. What are the major advantages (other than the "latest-and-greatest" factor) to upgrading to 3.1, 3.2, or 3.2.1? Is there any "must-have" advantage to the upgrade? And will my GEN1 have issues with some of the ROMs developed from GEN2 packages?

Thanks for being patient with an old dog trying desperately to learn some new tricks...
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
The later the version of Honeycomb generally the more stable and quicker it runs. You probably notice with 3.0 and 3.0.1 there are a lot of force closes on apps. There are other benefits to newer versions, such as ability to plug in USB peripherals etc, but I don't know all of them off the top of my head.

One problem that many people learned (myself included) was that when we got the upgrade to 3.2, those who had root lost it and nobody could figure out how to root it because Acer changed their boot loader. Since then people have found ways around it. Custom ROMs that the devs had created here usually make the tablet run better (of course there are risks to doing this and the occasional bug!). Some people run custom ROMS to overclock, some load them to remove Acer Bloatware and some just have the urge to try new and great things.

In terms of having issues with GEN1 and GEN2 packages, when you are installing custom ROMS made by the DEVs on XDA you won't have to worry. I think the GEN1 and GEN2 are just for ACER to distinguish things like the country that the device is from, or to determine when they should be receiving OTA updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Early HC versions have issues with Netflex, video, voice, GPS, etc. Alot of the drivers have been patched since 3.0.1.

It is very fast and very smooth. haven't run into any problems or force closes yet. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
I found that the full screen feature of 3.2 and 3.2.1 was a great reason to upgrade. My iconia came with 3.1 on it and i was content with that rooted until i learned that my apps that didnt fill the screen (guitar hero 5) and some that just didnt run (dance dance revolution s) worked great in full screen on 3.2+.
[Acer Iconia A500] CharlieSummers:
Greatly appreciate all of the responses. It's pretty clear I need to read the threads here and learn how to upgrade the Android in this tablet. (I especially appreciate starkiller86's pointer to the 3.2.1 sorta-stock image...that looks like the most sensible direction for me to go.)

Thanks again!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
Hello everyone,

Well, I'm storing my contacts through Gmail account.

However, as long as I register a contact I upload its photo from facebook!

From that time on, every contact stands with its photo as header which means it's displayed on top of the contact info.

Unfortunately, as long as we sync it with Gmail account, the photo gets resized to a smaller size and it gets displayed as a square (not as header anymore) on the left corner of contact info.

My question is: Is it possible to revert those images to the standard size?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0xXxY:
As I know.. Nope!

I'm not sure
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
I hate that pixelized square lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sco0ter:
If you store the contact to the phone it retains any full size photos. Leaving them on sim card makes all photos smaller
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
When I'm storing it I have to options:

1. Phone Contacts

2. Google Contacts

As I wanted them synchronized, I've chosen Google Contacts to all my entries. However, As long as I synchronize it, I'll get a small picture of each contact which's the one that's on Gmail Account :(

Is it impossible to get the standard size back?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_pablo:
I and running a windows PC, I installed JDK and the ADK.

I can see my device using "adb devices"

I run the revo tool and input my beta key. After a few seconds of zerging root, it simply says failed to get root.

My phone has stock hboot 0.93.0001 and currently has an ICS rom on it.

Any ideas why I cannot S-Off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacksec:
Maybe its caused by Windows according to experience under Linux it's much easier to run revolutionary. I ran revolutionary under a live cd version of Linux and every thing worked perfectly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_pablo:
I can run Revolutionary fine, it just doesn't want to get root for whatever reason.

My phone is definitely rooted, I've been flashing custom ROMs onto it for the past year!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacksec:
sorry I meant that I ran revolutionary and the whole procedure completely without errors under Linux. Sometimes the drivers under Windows are a little buggy.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_pablo:
I've been through the big FAQ and I can't see any reason for it not working.

I tried using unrevoked again and it got stuck on "waiting for boot" or something similar.

My Desire is PVT3, does that make a difference?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidzo80:
I think you must have Froyo sense ROM to s-off with Revolutionary.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_pablo:
Really? Wow, wierd lol!

Why would the ROM interfere with doing something like S-Off?

Would make sense though as I'm using one of the ICS ROMs.

So, can I flash a FroYo ROM, S-Off and then wipe everything and go back to ICS?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swemoza:
So you already root..

You can go back to froyo stock custom Rom..

Like in teppic thread..

And then s off with alpharev..

If you use revolutionary, you can upgrade first with ruu 2.3 in htcdev and then run revolutionary for s off..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidzo80:
When I run through Revolutionary s-off procedure I made backup of current rom, then restored my original Froyo nandroid backup , gained s-off with Revolutionary and finally restored custom rom.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] GazaIan:
Worked perfectly fine here, Although I don't see why the OP couldn't just try it himself... it only works with AOSP kernels, and since our OSK's weren't designed for PS3... entering symbols yields either the wrong symbol or nothing at all.

FYI, there is an issue with pretty much all ICS ROMs and the BT stack included in them. I have a brand new, top of the line Jawbone BT that supports everything, works flawlessly in Cyanogen and non-ICS ROMs, but will barely work in ICS.

Basically, after a reboot, it connects and says Connected (no media), then switches to Connected. Everything works fine until I disconnect and reconnect again.

After that, it will work for only voice calls. Media will always go out the speaker. I have tried everything to fix it to no avail. The only resolution to get A2DP media streaming back is to reboot.

When it happens, the media checkbox is still there and checked, but it doesn't work. I switched back to HyperSensation (Cyanogen) and everything works as it is supposed to.

Apparently ICS bluetooth works fine for some BT headsets and not others. This also seems to be an ongoing problem for other phones as well, even non-ICS.

I am not well versed in reading the debug logs, but if anyone is interested I can post them here, provided they tell me which ones they want.
[HTC Sensation] ftblstr2319:
I'm having troubles to. My problem is I cannot start a call via the Bluetooth Dial button on my radio. It's as if the phone doesn't even recognize that you are pressing the button. Tried installing Vlingo, but the prompt doesn't even work anymore.

The old solution was to install the Voice_dialer.apk...but that doesn't seem to be compat either
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I can confirm the issue with the virtuous ICS as well. I have bt stuff from Jawbones to BlueAnt's and all have the same issue. Prior to this was the issue of cutting out and now it's the off/on bt streaming. To "fix" the issue, is to reboot. Annoying yes. But ICS is still so sexy :D
[HTC Sensation] kanbei:
I've got the same problem, ROM Elegancia ICS 1.0.6 and 1.1.0

After pairing with bluetooth headset, first time I play music everything is ok. after re-connecting, music controls works ok, but sound is thru phone's speakear not thru the headset.

After rebooting the phone the situation is the same- first connection everythings ok, another ones not.

Checked with SE MW600, Jabra extreme and car's bluetooth.

The problem occurs even with clear installation (before I restore backups).

Still can not find solution so I got back to GB.
[HTC Sensation] Selech:
So its not just me! I can confirm that my Beats Wireless acts exactly like described.. And with a reboot fixing it again!

I think the devs here might be able to fix it, but its properly not going to be an importent issue to fix.. Fingers crossed for a fix, or maybe the future leaks will have it done!

[HTC Sensation] merwin:
Vlingo has always been problematic for me... My solution (worked on ICS too) was to get it working on an older ROM (not sure which one anymore) then use titanium backup and back up APP+DATA on a ROM that it is working on. Then, restore APP+DATA on the new ROM.

The first time you hit the button on your headset it will ask you what app you want to use for voice dialing and give you Vlingo, Vlingo InCar, or Voice Search. Choose Vlingo and check the box to make it default and you are good to go.

Just make sure after you get it working on the new ROM to back it up again... then the next time you switch ROMs, restore whatever the latest backup is. I am not sure what it changes, but I have been through Cyanogen, all of the ARHD versions, all of the InsertCoin versions, and a few others (I can never make up my mind on ROMs) and this trick has worked in all of them.

IMPORTANT: Make sure in Titanium Backup to uncheck the option to restore system libraries in ROM (that can cause issues going between major versions of android), and make sure toenable the features in Titanium Backup for attempting to migrate data.
