Pray tell, how did you determine this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rault18:
As someone that had both devices stock and modded with the very same rom I can tell you that this is not accurate.

The galaxy nexus is super smooth and after some issues were ironed down it ran as smooth as silk

Its really hard for me to decide which one is better..but the reason I kept the nexus is because I love the line

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Nice review. I'm giving up my white sgs2 for the galaxy nexus. Just waiting for it to come in the mail. I don't think I'll look back again. I think my next device after that will be the Sgs3 if the nexus doesn't do something spectacular with the up and coming ota's.

They both are great phones. It's a win win for both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
charlie, great minds think alike!!! Im doing the very same thing as you..saving my money already for the S3 hahaha.

I got a little update on the nexus.. I rooted it, romd it and let me tell you..battery life (which was the down side of it) got way way better. On normal use with almost 3 hrs of screen on ive been averaging about 15 hrs WITH stock battery.

Rooting and roming seems to be doing the trick for the life. The camera shooting got a little better as well and gps locks quick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sean is here.:
Is that the LTE S2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It has a T-mobile logo. That model is HSPA+.

With all the new roms and kernels I know it's just a matter of a good combo to save life. I'm on my phone all day(poweruser). I just bought some cases no batteries, so I'm just reading through everything trying to find the best rom/kernel combo.

Guys. I could get a white tmobile gs2 for lets say 280 right now.

Its because contract upgrade that someone else would be doing and blah blah blah.

Point is... I could get it for 280 brand new. I just got a galaxy nexus and I love it. I really do.

However, is it worth keeping it if I could save 300 dollars?

I want to say Im trully happy with the galaxy nexus but then yesterady I play with a stock sght989 and I swear that phone is so fast. Idk why but it just was stock.

Im on franco kernel and M3 and it is also very fast, but I just dont know if it is worth it.

Plus with the gs2 I always get twice the downlaod speed and I watch alot of hd youtube and some tethering and Idk what to do.

I only have today to choose!!! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
stay with what you have now and save for Galaxy S3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
I think I will do just that.

But I need it to support tmobile so it has to be pentaband. I wonder if it will support tmobiles 42 speed as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidsrus:
Last I heard. Nexus goes up to 21mbps. Where do u get 42mbps on tmo? I have the gs2 also n it never goes near that. Would be nice tho. Then again the g nexus speed is on par with mY gs2. I don't see no difference in network speeds. But it could just be my location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Well yes I never get above 21mbps with the gs2, so technically I feel like the gs2 and nexus should have same speeds.

However, when I get 3 with nexus I get 6 with gs2. If I have 8 with nexus Ill have around 15.

Idk why, maybe the dual radio has something to do with it, but Id prefer to be in your situation and get identical speeds.

Then I would feel like I wasn't missing out but its always like doubled.

And Ive tried every radio for the nexus possible...

I think it has to show at least some type of template for the next galaxy, that is not a known device as of right now. The bezelless display is so damn sexy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mezzi:
Looks like that could be the SGIII but I think Samsung would modify any upgrade a bit more that just looks like an extended SGII sans the bezel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwin123:
Cant be bro.... think about it, the phone is definitely not coming out before march,

ics is coming to gs2 and the note by feb end (possiby)

Why would you create a phone with physical buttons for ics?

Id love to see a phone the size of the galaxy note but without bezels or buttons and maybe less than 8mm... id sell my month old galaxy note in a heartbeat and go for it... well wishful thinking :D

Refer to my previous comment, sir.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelosh:
physical buttons are better than software ones.

1) if you use software buttons then part of the screen is lost to these buttons and therefore you are actually using a smaller viewable area.

2) if you use a bigger screen to compensate for soft buttons then you end up consuming more battery.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I just find it weird that some of you guys have problems with stuff such as ( I will include why I believe you have issues)

Wifi

You need to change your router settings just play around with it until you get better range usually you need to disable the wireless N function It may also be for you like the second replacement the andand tech guys got where their apple AP was interfering with the prime... Who knows but my router prime combo works wonderful! I can walk all the way to my mailboxes over 500 feet away from my access point through 6 inch walls

GPS

When you are doing a test you need to make sure that the little icon is flashing in the notification area if it is not then change your performance mode and do not touch the screen afterwards this is why you loose a lock! I can navigate for 2 hours without loosing a lock! But if I touch the screen (check email anything) I instantly loose the lock (This appears to me to be a tegra 3 powersaving feature as the GPS is a power vampire) I can drive for 2 hours and constantly keep a lock on 7-11 satellites

lockups+ reboots

( I have no idea why you have issues)

Unkown serial numbers

Seems like someone forgot to input your serial number before boxing it up :p

Just thought I would post this feel free to put in your own input on these issues

Worst thread ever you fail lockup issues are 100% out of users control and has nothing to do with apps if your going to make a thread like this at least know what your talking about. I won't even waste my breath about the GPS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] senatorxmg:
My own take on the reasons people are having these issues:

Wifi

You're not holding it properly...hold it over your head with your left hand.

GPS

You're not pointing it directly at the satellites.

lockups+ reboots

You only paid $500 for the darned thing...you want it working? That'll cost you at least $1000!!!!

Unknown serial numbers

It's a tablet..not a PC. You can't expect it to remember everything, can you???

:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Just trying to throw a little humour in. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
wow.... just... wow!

I hardly know how to respond. I thought by the title of your thread that you were referring to HARDWARE differences between units. As in why some get crappy GPS performance, and others get HORRENDOUS performance (or NO performance) There is OBVIOUSLY some hardware variance at play here, with the screen banding, ICS failures with Lockups and reboots. A good deal of those updates were done after cold boots, and some even did a Data Wipe/Reset before updating. How would "Bad apps" have caused issues there.

Asus has released an interesting mix of quality, and it's obvious that there are differences. Support has referred in several cases to "Older hardware revisions" but I have seen no Serial number confirmation or otherwise to back that up.

Why is it you can get a lock, and keep it with GPS:

"GPS

When you are doing a test you need to make sure that the little icon is flashing in the notification area if it is not then change your performance mode and do not touch the screen afterwards this is why you loose a lock! I can navigate for 2 hours without loosing a lock! But if I touch the screen (check email anything) I instantly loose the lock (This appears to me to be a tegra 3 powersaving feature as the GPS is a power vampire)

when I can not GET a lock? I can, and have done a Data reset, and tested with a) Just Honeycomb 3.2 and b) Just ICS. NO OTHER INSTALLED SOFTWARE. Clear sky, middle of a 9 acre FLAT park with clear views of horizon. I get 2, and sometime 3 satellites of maybe 7-9 to lock, for a spit second, then they lose it. This is with the unit fully charged, powered, and in "Performance Mode" (what used to be "Standard" in Honeycomb) no other apps running.

What do you think the difference COULD be? It's not "bad apps" I will tell you that much.

EDIT: Almost forgot.

This

is not how to resolve issues:

Wifi

You need to change your router settings just play around with it until you get better performance

Sure you can tune for better performance, but why should you HAVE TO? All my other devices require no such tuning, they work fine out of the box!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
you're an idiot for thinking i'm going to change my wifi settings to get "better performance"

you're even more of an idiot for thinking i'm going to hack every router i connect to (including my school) to make sure their router is optimized for my TFP

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ammarr:
Reboots, crashes can very much be an apps issue. I had a very smooth TFP, which suddenly started misbehaving.

I was pretty frustrated as well, however I started doing my research, for e.g. I went into running apps and could see my available ram drop after boot (from 300 mb used, 700 free to around 700 mb used). By eliminating apps one by one, I got to the culprit and deleted it. Things were soon back to normal. Some apps just haven't been updated to work properly on ICS and that's that. However, if there are crashes off of a fresh install, then thats different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
After changing the settings on my router not only did my TFP work better but all my other devices did too! Never knew about the different setting but Im glad I do now. Before nothing worked in my garage now everything does :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
you're body naturally "thanked" me cause i was right.

no, i go to a normal school, they brodcast g and n, the signal in most areas is average, some really good, and some very poor. i only have good speeds when im close to the routers around campus, if i don't have excellent reception, its snail speed..yet my phone right next to it can connect fine with primo speeds

[G2 and Desire Z General] taino211:
So I unlocked/rooted my G2 about 4 months ago and am running Cyanogenmod 7.1 but have noticed that its been running pretty slow since the beginning. The T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone was actually running faster. I kind of miss it now.

It's getting pretty laggy and I'm not sure what the cause is. I moved all my installed apps back to the phone's memory and its still laggy. I DO have about 50 apps installed but that's only using up about half my phones internal storage space. I also even went out and bought a Class 4 microSD card (boost up from my Class 2) to see if that was the problem.

Anyway, my lagginess still persists. So i was thinking about overclocking it using Cyanogenmod's built in menu to do so. I just didn't know what a safe speed to overclock it would be. Battery life isn't a huge concern for me since I have a charger pretty much wherever I go. I just need more speed. I'd rather not switch ROMs since I like Cyanogenmod.

I just want it to run the way its supposed to. Thanks in advance for your help....

CM 7.1 ran very slowly for me. The nightlies ran a good deal better.

You may want to check out G2 Slim 1.6 in the dev forum. It's very very fast.
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesssnowfall:
I run CM7.1 with my CPU overclocked to about 1516 Mhz without any problems for the past several months. I didn't notice my battery life taking any hit, and the phone was blazing fast.
[G2 and Desire Z General] repete153:
V6 Supercharger cured my lagging. It's really easy to use and it makes my phone feel new again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
If you like AOSP, try out Virtuous G-Lite and use OC/UV Beater 1.7 to change the built in daemon to overclock. When I was running that, I would set it for 1.2GHz screen on. I tried 1.5GHz but it didn't make a huge difference. That rom is super lightweight anyways and is based on the T-Mobile Stock rom.

Right now, I'm on Affinity at 1.2GHz. Alittle lag because of Sense but still great =)

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChronoReverse:
If you want to be truly safe then 1GHz. But most phones will do 1.2-1.4GHz no problem.

SO i got HC and love how i can use my Scribe pen to make notes and highlight with in the reader app. But can it not go into landscape mode when in a book? or is it just the books that I have.

It seems strange the all of the UX will work in landscape but as soon as i open any of my books it flips to portriat mode??? I have check all through settings in app and i see no other option to force landscape........am i missing something?

FYI I don't care if its just single column i just want to read with my landscape only case. This thing is too heavy to read with it in portrait with no stand.

Everywhere I looked posts' say its in system/media/video,or shutdown but no such folder exsists I have an HTS DESIRE CDMA/Rooted/CM recovery/ Running CM7 ROM. Ive posted over at CM forum also but have not gotten an answer. Since I'm not finding the folder on my own and have not recieved an answer on the other forum I'm hoping to get a little help here:D.

Hi, today i went to a store to sim network unlock my xperia x10i.

All went ok with unlocking it BUT it now says "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network". It don't ask for sim network unlock code so that's how i know it is unlocked also by the way.

Before it could register to the carrier the phone was locked to (Telenor Sweden) but now even that won't work.

When it was locked it had a little house infront of the "2g Telenor" and "3g Telenor"

but now there is non of that.

Ive tried with three different sim cards that works in other phones perfectly and registers on any carrier i wish.

I've used SUSE to repair the phone without the simcard and sdcard in it.

I also went into the service menu and restarted the radio but that had no effect what so ever.

The guy at the shop said its almost like "freeze phone" glitch/bug and it can be sorted out.

He stated it was a few years ago since he came across it and he then used some sort of dongle to fix the problem (no idea why he don't have that dongle handy or anymore).

I have now tried everything possible that i can think of and i stand clueless to what sort of problem/bug/glitch this is ive come across.

Anyone that know's a solution to this minor(?) problem ? =)

Best regards,

Goonsquadx8

Update: Tried to test if it "kick started" if i removed battery for 15mins (went 19mins total) and that didn't sort it out either.

Everything is pure stock from SE (Android 2.3.3 updated just now from 2.1).

Additional i can also see full signal bars but it just can't seem to register with network carrier.

Firmware its on atm from SUSE-> X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846

In service menu "sim lock" it says like this

[] Network 5

[] Network subset 5

[] Service Provider 5

[] Corporate 5

[] SIM 0
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kensixx:
umm how about changing it to another sim card? i wonder if it works.. if it doesn't then you should really replace that.. that is one hard problem.. i would die if i'm in your situation.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goonsquadx8:
Like i wrote i tried three different ones that works in any other phone i put them in.

I wrote to the store and said that i belive they unlocked it wrong since it was Android 2.3 based when he used SEtool2 and it is not supported so i downgraded the phone to Android 2.1 and the guy at the store agree'd to redo the unlocking and or repair the phone. So let's just hope he fixes the phone otherwise i hope for his sake he replaces the phone with a fully working one since it worked before he touched it. Even tho it was with the for me wrong carrier it was fully working.

This is a theme template for MIUI v4 (ICS) - the lockscreens still work with no extra work, but most of the themes need to be redone as files are moved around and have different names. So I decided to put together this template. It's got the uncompiled .9.pngs so you will need to compile them before you put the theme together. It's also got the theme_values.xml files in each folder that had a colors.xml with all the values from the colors.xml.

I put this together for myself, working on a theme, and I figured I'd share my template. This should be pretty complete. The build I'm working with has stock music player, so that's what decompiled in there, if I'm missing anything just let me know and I'll update it.
