[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Longcat14:
It's actually the manufacturer that has the best design that gets picked.

Obviously, Google likes the curved screen, and plastic feel that Samsung can do (Thanks to SAMOLED, they can curve the screen, which others can't), and they like the design.

Google never lets the manufacturer pick the SoC, and stuff like that, so that's why the OMAP is in there, instead of the Exynos, but it was listed why the Exynos REALLY isn't there.

1. Exynos + LTE = nono

2. Exynos is Samsung ONLY.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Surely when/if Google and Motorola merge this year that'll be problem solved? I've only ever bought one Moto product, the Xoom and it was beautifully built and designed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Salah9:
HTC is better. My Nexus One is better than my Galaxy Nexus. GPS in Nexus One rocks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Do you tell this to yourself to help you sleep at night?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HRodMusic:
Only Samsung phones are good the rest is ****.. only phones I would buy is the iPhone or a galaxy line phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
A well informed observation there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
I completely agreed with this after the Nexus S. I hated it, and it was a total downgrade of a phone. I even swore to myself to never buy another Samsung device! However, the Galaxy Nexus has made me a Samsung fan once again. This is definitely the best phone I've owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chbennett:
great point. I would love to see it.

Dispatched from my Xoom 4.0 (xda premium app,why not toss a few bucks at the community)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Agreed on all counts. I love my GNex, but I miss the weighty feel of Sensation. That phone was built like a tank.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jonno212:
I had a very good experience with my first Android phone the HTC Incredible. Loved the phone design and everything worked solid. GPS was fast and spot on. 3G and call reception were great. And actually I was seriously looking at the HTC Rezound however I couldn't pass up on a Nexus.

If I had a choice I'd like HTC to do the next Nexus phone however I wouldn't mind if Samsung continued to manufacture them. Reading the responses here it would very interesting if Sony made a Nexus. Or maybe even one of the other Japanese manufacturers. KDDI was developing a 10 minute phone charger. And Kyocera showed off a speakerless cell phone at CES. Imagine that tech.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Sparks:
I think Sony should be the next maker of nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treggs:
+1

My GN has been good enough that I haven't bothered messing around with roms and hacking. Just rooted yakju and left it alone. The only errors/problems I have had have been user generated :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrbob:
Do you have the extended battery? It gives it a heavier feel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrBIMC:
Enough for samsung. Let motorola to make next nexus.

Samsung making good things, but their materials are ****ty. Plastic is not so cool as metal or soft-touch or polycarbonate.

And nexus is may be something new, i dont want to see samsng 3 times in a row.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
samsungs "****ty" plastic sure can take a drop better than Apple's metal though, huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's like saying samsungs first generation cpu, hummingbird is samsung only. The nexus s featured the hummbird processor in both the GSM and cdma version on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drift spunk:
No I don't agree, I love my nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Look at all those scratched Ipods and iPhones out there with their metal casing. Plastic although perhaps cheaper feeling is lighter and less likely to get scratched and just as durable as metal in normal day to day conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
The hummingbird is Samsung only. Notice how long it took 2.3 to roll out by various manufacturers? That's partly due to them having to rewrite the kernel, drivers, baseband, etc. from scratch as no one had access to the proprietary files that Samsung had. By going with TI, everyone had access to the whitepapers and such as multiple manufacturers have access to TI SoCs. Notice how ICS leaks for other devices are already out compared to when gingerbread launched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ARod111:
Agree, let moto build the next one!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Moto and their bootloader history should be reason enough to NOT let them build any Nexus

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Couldn't agree with you more...and with the Razr being the latest specimen of what they consider a great phone....the Nexus would be anything but bleeding edge. Motorola should just change its name to Subpar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I see a future of Moto building a Nexus.

First version: Nexus A

Second version six weeks later: Nexus B Supreme

Third version six weeks later: Nexus C Ultimate

Eff that noise.

Moto should just name their phones Motorola Droid End of Life 1.0, 2.0. 3.0, ...n.0....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
Maybe apple should design the new nexus?

Trollololllllollllloll

But on a serious note, Samsung are the best company for this they have the largest parts bin so its easy to put a great device together. However I wish they would use more premium materials.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
I agree that Samsung shouldn't be the next Nexus manufacturer. They seem to be getting really comfortable atop the Android scene so much so that they have a bit too much power.

Do you guys think that other manufacturers could have forced Google to throw in the "Galaxy" branding onto their pure Nexus line? You guys think they could have forced Google into a compromise where the latest and greatest specs are reserved for their "real" phones (Galaxy) where the Nexus line gets niche features (zero shutter lag etc.) with lower specs? Do you think that others could have left Google with a phone that lacks much QA?

I know those of you who think the Nexus line should be the pioneers with both hardware and software will be glad if they move away from Samsung. Imagine the next Nexus having the same puzzazz as the original Nexus One. I say they give it to a manufacturer that has little to lose and much to gain for their full endorsement of the Nexus line or a manufacturer that has something to prove.

I'm looking at you Sony and LG. A fully equipped, fully supported, and fully endorsed Nexus branded phone from these 2 manufacturers would put them on the map.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yungboss22:
Motorola should be the maker of the next nexus. Great build quality and AWESOME BATTERY LIFE like the Atrix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Lmao....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
I really would like to see the next nexus with the following

-Samsung SAMOLEDHD+ screen

-Battery like in the Razar Maxx

-LTE and Pentaband HSPA+ Dual cell

-Android 5.0 Jellybean

-Built by Sony

-Powerful A15 processor

This is the one advantage the iPhone has is it gets it parts from all the different manufacturers. LG Display, Samsung processor etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chilled26:
Wow do you also want a giant laser beam that can scratch your ass from space?.....jk jk...Those are specs we can only dream of..I think Samsung has done a good job so far but my next choice would be Motorola. Even though I hated my cliq xt with a passion, they have come a long way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
I totally agree. Although jelly bean should be 4.1?

Also I would add htc's beats audio in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
I think Samsung needs to stop making the Nexus line because they will always hold back on the Nexus line and save the best for their own flagship phone. The Nexus phone will always be a scaled down version of their flagship phone. I hope HTC gets the next one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Technically I believe that samsung needs to eliminate Google's input on the device....remember samsung did not choose the hardware for the Gnex.....thats all on google....there is no other galaxy running TI OMAPs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 02busa:
Motorola Atrix SHOULD have been the 2nd Nexus instead of that joke of a try we call the Nexus S. Who would've waited a couple more months to have Atrix hardware specs with an unlocked bootloader and Gingerbread? Galaxy Nexus SHOULD have been the first Quad core on the market.. Motorola gets my vote for the Next Nexus

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yungboss22:
Im serious.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
You do know that it isn't Samsung who decides what goes into the phone, right? Google sends out its specifications, and the OEMs submit their proposals. Google has the final say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
Not at all. If anything, Samsung makes amazing phones. The last phone I had was an HTC Wildfire S and it was ****. I'm loving my GNex :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spielnicht:
Compared to what HTC puts out, especially the Nexus One, I'd take a Samsung Nexus any day. HTC really dropped the ball with the Nexus One when they miserably and embarrassingly failed to test the touchscreen properly before sending it to production.

After the Nexus One I owned my first Motorola, the Atrix, which was OK at best. The physical design was horrible and made up of the cheapest material that creaked at every angle. I then briefly (<30 days) owned the Atrix 2, which I thought was a [physically] FANTASTICALLY designed phone, one of the best and most underrated. But, Motorola f---ed up by including a horribly yellowish screen.

Then came my first Samsung, which also lasted <30 days, the Skyrocket. I will admit that up until this point I made an effort to stay away from Samsung. However, I've suddenly had a change of heart and quickly fill in love with the Skyrocket...sans the 800x480 resolution.

And now, the GN is by far my favorite Android phone in every way. As long as they keep improving on the GN design, I'd definitely want to see another Samsung Nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milominderbinder:
Agreed.

The issues are due to Google, not Samsung.

It was Google who made Samsung strip out Facebook Sync, Charging LED display, microSD, Speed Dial, Smart Dial, Messaging Enter Key, working Browser Zoom, FM Radio, Visual Voicemail Photos, etc.

Samsung has been albe to do all these things in the S2 and other phones for years plus great GPS, etc.

The stripped out features are due to Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsupersonic:
This is what I want in the next Galaxy device:

- Not manufactured by Samsung. If it is, I want better build quality.

- 4" SAMOLED+ 720p display (smaller screens are better for battery life)

- bigger battery (if RAZR MAXX can do it, all the other manufacturers can too)

I want HTC to make Galaxy devices, enough of Samsung (and I own the GN)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No. If you read what I was posting he said that Exynos is Samsung ONLY that's why it wasn't in the Galaxy nexus. This isn't the car because the nexus s got hummingbird so this invalidate what he said.

The Galaxy nexus went with ti OMAP because it was certified for hd content and it's well known for processing graphics. You can google this for more details.

@tsonic: you know samsung makes galaxy devices. You meant nexus.

If people have such problems with samsung making nexus devices then go buy another phone. No one's forcing anyone to get a nexus phone. Nexus devices by samsung Build quality is definitely there and doesn't disappoint so I don't understand why people complain about build quality. Nexus one by HTC has problems and no one even calls them out on it pretending HTC is awesome.

A nexus device is a nexus. Google just wants the best design for their flagship phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
I'm happy with their quality of build. The main thing that annoys are the irregular GPS units, radios and drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
lol what?

On another note, the next iPhone should be completely developed by Sony. They shouldn't have Apple's input on it anymore.

^^That's what your opinion looks like. Google *owns* the Nexus line, not the manufacturers.

On the topic, the *only* problem I have with Samsung is the crappy radios that they use. I've had worse reception with Samsung devices than any other manufacturer...and it's not just once, it's always true. If my GN had better reception (LTE version) it would be the perfect phone. It just sucks that a majority of the places I go hover around 1 bar.

And I live and work less than 10 minutes from the center of Cleveland.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Google let them name the last one the Nexus S (you know, like the GalaxyS). If they cared what the name was that much, they would have spoken up.

What QA is this phone lacking? I have nary a complaint. Moreover, the Nexus devices are Google reference devices. The Nexus phones effectively replace the development-geared phones that Google previously supported (ADP1, I/O Magic) with an all-around reference phone. It's not *supposed* to be top of the line - it's just supposed to be a reference for what Google wants for Android. That's it.

The Nexus One had top-tier specs when it came out because Android sorely needed better specced phones than the paltry 528mhz/192MB crappy SoC's that manufacturers were pairing with it. The Nexus One was their demonstration of what Android could do when it had the proper hardware.

The Nexus S was a perfect partner to show off the new Gingerbread interface. SAMOLED+ showed off the deep blacks in the OS, the curved display showed that Android handsets could have finesse, the 16GB of built-in storage provided a good reference for offloading app-storage.

And the Galaxy Nexus plays to Google's view of Android's multimedia future. Larger, higher res screen for video. Brilliant SAMOLEDHD for a more vibrant screen. Faster camera for instant snapshots, with 1080p video support (neither the nexus one nor nexus s support HD video). HSPA+ radio.

The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are Samsung made because Samsung simply makes better screens, and is generally better at multimedia than the competition - especially HTC. It just so happens that Google's changing Android focus matches up with Samsung's primary market.

The fact is, that as Android hardware continues to improve at such a rapid pace, Google doesn't *need* the Nexus phones to be the highest specced like the Nexus One did. More and more of what the Nexus devices offer will be software and hardware that Google wants to introduce into the market.

NFC for mobile payment via Google Wallet. MHL support. A 100% touch interface (no buttons necessary). Internal memory that doesnt need to be mounted for the mainstream crowd.

Now, if you don't like the fact that a Google reference phone != the best specced on the market- that's your prerogative. But you should at least be clear on the facts. Unless hardware development stalls for some unforseen reason, the chances of you seeing a Nexus with 100% top-of-the-line hardware will continue to decrease even further.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I agree that Samsung should not be making the next Nexus phone, but purely from a political point of view. If Google just choose 1 or 2 manufacturers to make all their Nexus phones it would be seriously alienating other members of the Open Handset Alliance. They invested a lot of money in the Android platform too so let them have a piece of the nexus cake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D00mSlayer:
I certainly do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Unibody aluminum from HTC

Radios from Motorola

Screen from Samsung

Wishful thinking.

I'm still using a Nexus One because the S and Galaxy felt like children's toys in my hand. N1 was worth buying full price; neither of these phones are. I really hope Motorola builds the next one; the only reason I sold my RAZR was the locked bootloader combined with Motorola butchering the native Arabic support in Gingerbread by changing their font. They can clearly get their hands on SAMOLED.

Can we get a trackball? Please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Trackballs are built to fail. They attract dirt and oils, gets in the rollers, and is a mess.

That said, don't let HTC's 'industrial' design fool you. There is just as much plastic underneath the surface, and their quality isn't too hot either.

Ask any Bolt user how their kickstand is doing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] postall:
I think HTC is better then Samsung

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] finch8423:
Aslong as it's a Nexus, I will buy it.

Did any of you own the HTC Nexus One? If that were the case, I'm sure that most of you would have agreed to never buy an HTC phone again. The power button broke, the screen was too primitive regardless of how ambitious it was, the wifi didn't work, etc. It had a lot of problems. No doubt HTC has gotten better.

The point is, the phone is going to have faults. I've been happy with Samsung (screen, mainly), as long as they stay out of the way of Google and AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I had no issues with mine, I even dropped it from about 8 ft up a ladder, the unibody wasn't dented but some of the plastic inside the unibody had dislocated. I popped it back into place and the phone is still great (just horribly limited in battery life and memory)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
Galaxy Nexus should have had at least an 8MP camera on the back and a 2MP camera on the front. Their should also be a microsd card slot on the Galaxy Nexus. Little things that are on the SGS II that were left off the Galaxy Nexus. Maybe they had to go with 5MP on the rear for insta snap. Who knows. I'm pretty sure Samsung could have put a HD Super Amoled Plus screen on the Galaxy Nexus, but they are gone save that for the SGS III. Just like they are gone save the 12 MP camera on the back and the 3MP camera on the front for the SGS III. Samsung will always keep the Nexus line 2nd fiddle to their flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cundiffr:
I don't have a problem with Samsung at all making the Nexus.. my Nexus S was fantastic and my Galaxy Nexus is even more fantastic. I started out with Motorola as my first Android phone and hated it. I was the first person in my town to buy the Vibrant, despite its lack of updates it was a great phone thanks to all of the devs here at xda I went from 2.1, 2.2 and to 2.3 in a timely manner :) Samsung or nobody else!

So camera, which I did say besides that, and screen, which you are assuming they could do even though there were at the time and maybe still arent samoled + hd screens.

Sounds like a lot of speculation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sahilk:
If motorola made it, it would have a HORRIBLY slow camera. I prefer HTC/Samsung, but Samsung has the amazing screen. If samsung just steps up their build quality, it would be perfect.

What is wrong with HTC'S design? (yes they have become less innovative in the last year or so releasing same phones over and over again) But, I think most people will agree that it is the better manufacturer out of Samsung/Motorola when it comes to the design of the phone. Nexus One was not only a great looking phone, but had a solid build quality.

Although I would prefer Sony Ericsson to make the Nexus line, or have Google rotate, between Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson, every year. The Xperia S just looks AMAZING, i wish that was the Nexus Three
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is 'wrong' is subjective, I am sure. I see them as old and tired though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitro-ale:
hello everybody, I really can't get modding with windows phone, sorry I've been with android so long and now is all different.

So I have a LG 7 with mango, I want to install the nokia market xap. I just can interop-unlock modifying the registry with the mgf app?

Is a reversible operation?

Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Hi, I'm actually the author of the Nokia Market (and Samsung/LG/HTC/Dell marketplace) XAP. You don't really need interop-unlock; normal developer-unlock works fine.

That said, to answer your question directly:

Yes, you can use the MFG app to dev-unlock (and interop-unlock, if you want) your phone. The steps are available on the Dev&Hacking forum, in multiple places including the interop-unlock thread.

The difference between dev-unlock and interop-unlock from your perspective is the MaxUnsignedApp value - if you put it at 10 (the default for a normal dev unlock) you can install up to 10 homebrew apps (XAP files), and they can't use ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES (access high-permissions drivers to break out of the sandbox). If you set it over 300 (most people go for 2,000,000,000 or so) you can install more homebrew apps than you'll ever need to, and they can use ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES (which enables some cool hacks, for example the MultiTaskToggle app linked in my signature - it's still compatible with LG just fine). This is referred to as "interop-unlocking" the phone, and must be done after "dev-unlocking" (which is just tweaking a few other registry values).

The whole thing is completely reversible. You can reverse it using the MFG app again, for example. I think you can reverse it using the Developer Registration tool (part of the WP7 SDK, this is the program normally used to dev-unlock a phone). You can, for the "nuclear" option, reverse it by wiping / hard-resetting the phone.

Hope that helps!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] willmon22:
I was kind of wondering why there is a ICS rom on the optimus one but not for the optimus v yet. Is it becasue the optimus one is older and the developers have had more experience with it? Or is the optimus one used more.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aayushARM:
Its probably because O1 is used more and is more famous. That's why we have more devs for O1.......

However, the ROMs from O1 can be easily ported to V, as they are almost same. Request any dev from your forum to port ICS ROMs on your device...............That may help....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] willmon22:
So all I would have to do is just link a thread that has the ics rom and put it in the optimus v section and ask if they can port it to the optimus v and they will possibly do it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aayushARM:
Yes, possibly, if they want to or if you convince them to do so......:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Curiousn00b:
There is, but the devs that are at work aren't public with it. They only released the early Alpha build.
