[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
It's not Google that does this. This is entirely Samsung's doing and Samsung own a lot of rights for this phone. Samsung got their name on the phone, they got it called 'Galaxy Nexus' instead of 'Nexus Prime' that was the original name and it made some deals with some carriers for customized versions of Galaxy Nexus.

Sadly it is out of Google's hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Please don't spread misinformation like this.

The Nexus phone series is "produced by Google in co-operation with selected hardware companies." It is

Google

who decides who gets to make the phone and they tell

them

how they want it.

Regarding the Samsung name on the phone - that's a nice negotiation success for Samsung. You can rest assured that they payed dearly for it elsewhere.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I am sorry to break the illusion for you, but Samsung has far more control over Galaxy Nexus than you think. Everything, except the 'open source' software, is produced by Samsung. Launch, marketing, presentation and everything was done by Samsung. It is a Samsung product, not a Google one.

Reality is that this is the best Google can do. They cannot manufacture the phone themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
They could release it this month, people can use h+ till the 4g network goes live :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
If that's the case why are there Samsung builds of ICS? Surely they'd all be yakju if it was only Google pulling the strings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Eh...

This is a rumor as well. JBQ said that AOSP supports yakju and mysid. He also said that he does not handle OTAs or know what the process is for them. It is likely that Google is still the one sending out the yakjuxx builds, but they are customized for different locales, etc. Therefore they get sent out at a different interval.

JBQ never said in absolutes that only yakju and mysid are the only builds that are sent by Google. So while it could be Samsung doing those updates, Google may also be handling them. I obviously don't know for sure, but right now all anyone has to go on is that yakjuxx builds are under a Samsung Proxima directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I can't imagine how much faster the battery would drain with that increased clock speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Not much, considering most of the time your phone is running at 350mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Again, don't spread misinformation. At the very least post links supporting your claims.

-The Galaxy Nexus is a touchscreen slate Android smartphone developed by a partnership between Google and Samsung.

-The phone and operating system were developed collaboratively by engineers from both companies.

-The Galaxy Nexus was unveiled at Google and Samsung's Ice Cream Sandwich event on 19 October 2011 in Hong Kong.

-The name is the result of co-branding between the Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus brands of Android smartphones.

I think that was because of the RFI bug at release .. just a quick fix by Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmedandDangerous:
Produced by Samsung means nothing more than Samsung providing the hardware that GOOGLE decides. And Google decides that a single unified SoC is what they need and want for a REFERENCE PLATFORM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
So does Samsung control Apples iphone line because they make the bulk of its hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
two weeks for MWC 2012 and no leaks of this supposed galaxy nexus s/plus , maybe it was a fake after all or just the sprint version :( , I dont care that much about a faster cpu, i'd just be happy with a BETTER camera and an overclocked cpu and bigger battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
So you don't care about a faster CPU, yet want one that is overclocked?

Or do you just mean the 4460 running at 1.5Ghz instead of being underclocked to 1.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
That is contrary to what I have been told by any Samsung employee I have cone a cross. Lastly when I questioned their new 'galaxy family' branding. And I was told that the galaxy nexus is not a true Samsung phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Of course i would like an upgraded cpu, but that would divide the roms even more :( , so an overclocked version wouldnt be that bad, actually like you said the cpu on the galaxy nexus is underclock ( for battery saving reasons perhaps? ) the gpu is kinda crappy :( at least for pushing 1280x720
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The people at TI can't even get the CPU to run at 1.5ghz.

Guys..chill...

coming from Motorola Razr I see this far better than my experience with Razr (the black, the white, the pink, the MAXX and the unlocked BL blah blah blah)

I am being sarcastic. welcome to android world.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Monzer_:
hi there , im getting razr soon and i'v been reading that its only support micro-sim card but my friends told me i can just cut my sim and it will work is that true ? and how ? its GSM razr im getting it from UAE so it doesnt have to be Verizon only right ? i mean it will work on all providers like MTN ? thanks in advance .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elias.parasini:
I dont know about network regulation. But yes, you can cut your sim into micro-sim with special tool.. It's work for me after I cut my sim.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Yes, cutting a mini SIM down to micro SIM size works fine. You can get specialised cutters if you don't want to do it yourself.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] die4a:
Hi, look at this Link. It works fine

xxx.micro-sim.de/selbst-basteln
[Motorola Droid RAZR] casaroli:
When I bought my phone, the woman on the store didn't had micro sim (would take weeks to arrive), so she said she could cut one of the regulars into a micro sim.

Well, she done a very bad cutting. When she inserted it on the Razr, it got stuck, it wouldn't get out, nor the razr recognize it.

I got my phone replaced anyways on that time.

After like 15 minutes all the vendors on the store trying to unstuck it, a guy finally used a needle to pinch it and he could take it out.

I was then looking at the regular SIM stock from that store, I noticed that some are a bit more thick than others and that plus the bad cutting didn't work well with the Razr slot.

I preferred to use my iphone's microSIM on the Razr, and transfer the lines, and use the cut down sim on the iphone, because its slot is more difficult to stuck.

Well, anyway, just beware that it you miss cut it, it can get stuck.

And if it does, you can get a needle, and pinch it to remove it.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Monzer_:
thanks guys for ur help :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Oh note that I've cut identically two simcards, one of them didn't work (was working in my old SGS2) after the cut. Into the SGS2 was still working even after the cut (hand positioning into the SIM slot, yay!).

So actually it isn't 100% sure that your SIM will work in the RAZR after the cut.

Anyway, for the other SIM that didn't work, I went into my operator's store and they've replaced it with a MicroSIM that I'm actually using in my RAZR.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SilverDragoninoz:
Wouldn't be simpler to go to your provider and ask them to replace the sim? They can code your existing account to the new sim....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Mine was cut by my phone shop.. It works fine but o would not recommend it on a permanent basis.

From time to time I will get error messages sayingsomething like Sim card error.. After a while, less than a minute

It will b able to read just fine..

At first I don't bother with it, then came the time where the problem kicks in during a phone call.. The call was dropped.

so I would recommend everyone to get the micro Sim instead..

I will too, this weekend.. This drop calls is getting annoying.

[General Questions and Answers] net_wonder:
Hi!

Quick question - if I buy Google Galaxy Nexus for Verizon and unlock it - does it mean I will be able to use any GSM operator? :confused:

Up to the moment I was only buying only unlocked phones and had no opportunity to mess with a locked device, but here is a real chance to save a buck by means of ebay and so called Verizon phones..

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] TJBunch1228:
Negatory. It would only work on other cdma carriers. Pretty useless. Unlocking is only really worth a damn for gsm devices. There is not even a SIM card slot on the VZW GN, other than the LTE SIM that goes there, but that's not compatible with gsm.
[General Questions and Answers] Skv012a:
Yep. Plus if you travel a lot, cdma is utterly useless because of all the processes required to sign it up to a carrier.
[General Questions and Answers] UVClay:
So say I were to buy an AT&T phone and use my T-Mobile pay as you go 4G monthly SIM in it... Smooth sailing, right?

I'm currently under the impression that it's more of a phone to phone issue, rather than a definitive yes or no. Doesn't help I've been locked up in CDMA since I started playing around with phones.
[General Questions and Answers] Januh:
Well for me the unlocking mobile it is preaty useless (in my opinion of course)
[General Questions and Answers] net_wonder:
Thanks a lot for help!

Without all of your advice I'd have ended up with $550 spent on a phone which can't be used :eek:

I have a corporate GSM SIM card (11 years old it is) with local Russian cell phone operator, and I have to stick with it...
[General Questions and Answers] pandoraFlavor:
Good god 11 year old sim?! pics!
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Actually the verizon galaxy nexus does have a sim slot and there is a possibility it could be used with GSM carriers. This theory started with the Rezound. So when you pop in a sim, you can turn off LTE and select GSM. Everything works except outgoing SMS (don't know about 3rd party messenging apps).
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Not quite. Phone functions would be ok. But for data you would have only 2G (edge). No 3G or 4G.

[HTC Amaze 4G] JMeister234:
OK, I'm running what you might call a very unscientific test. I have a sony ericsson x10 (Android 2.3.3) and I recently picked up a HTC Amaze from Wind Mobile, today.

Now because of the time between my phone being ported from Mobilicity to Wind, both phones had internet access at the same time (but different networks). Initially I thought the Mobilicity network must be awesome, because clicking on the same link in their respective internet browsers, the x10 seemed to beat the Amaze by 3-4 seconds in bringing up the web page.

But then I got both home, and the port-over took effect, so no more internet browsing on the x10... except wifi.

So I repeated the test with WiFi and the x10 is repeatedly beating the Amaze. Yes, the x10 is a custom ROM (wolfbreak v7beta6) and the Amaze is stock-whatever-wind provides, but this is ridiculous, no?

The Amaze seems to sit waiting for a bit, not doing anything, while the X10 just starts downloading the web data right away. I click the links on both screens at the same time, and about 80% of the time the X10 wins the race.

So before I take my HTC Amaze back to Wind, what if anything should I be doing to tweak it so I can get a similar internet browsing experience?

I did a search of the forums, but didn't find anything. Please let me know if there's a thread for this. But I'm really disappointed. The x10 is ancient in phone lifetimes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
When I do a speedtest on my Amaze, it will download and then hang. Why? I do not know. Sometimes it downloads really quick and it will just hang. It isn't all the time though. It can be the network. If it the DL/UL link stops, it may have a hard time trying to get the data. Since you did a port, I'd recommend waiting up to 48 hours until everything is in full effect. Porting can cause issues for a bit.
[HTC Sensation] Skip-Breezy:
I played around with the custom ICS today & I like the interface 'n all but there were a couple of problems (most noticeably, WiFi wasn't connecting). So I'll just stick with GB until the official version comes out. How does everyone else like ICS?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
The smoothness and battery life is a musthave, the instability sucks, but the battery life and overall performance is so great, that I can't force myself to reflash 1.17 and a Sense rom.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Sense 3.5/3.6 looks really ugly to me.. but probably because I prefer the blue look that I get with the Blue Sky skin in Sense 3.0. Even with that skin on Sense 3.6, everything is completely black.. and sleek round buttons of 3.0 are replaced with really fugly huge rectangular buttons; it looks like a step backwards in UI. The browser is very fluid, but the top controls don't look quite right either.

Hopefully that's just a beta thing since it's a leaked test build. Might push me to whack out Sense and go CM9 down the line. Then again, even AOSP keeps changing with every version.. why can't Google design one decent looking UI and run with it?
[HTC Sensation] thelegendarylegends:
stability is great in my rom and it never random reboot ever for me, not even once, even with sebastian 1.7ghz undervolted kernel, speed is good too.:D

from the amaze camera failing or wifi/wifi calling not working its not worth it at this sstage. I have the Elegancia GB ROM and i don't use Sense so it is fast and what I need right now.

I will wait until there is a stable ROM after the ICS release so I can tweak and get the Amaze camera ported over. i LOVE that thing.
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
I have used the test leak RUU roms and a few custom ICS roms. The performance is snappy and battery life was best with the stock, non-'hex-edited' kernels, although there is a sweetspot I have found that works for me: use the custom kernel (or stock for XE) at 1.5 GHz (not 1.7 GHz, as I have had random phone crashes/hangs/restarts etc.) and enable the 2nd core. Works fine if you can put up with the small number of bugs you might come across, although most of these have been ironed out with sense 3.6 and the custom roms are always updating their firmware/rom base.

Loving ICS, cant wait for official release and kernel sources for more power and battery life :cool:
[Milestone 2 General] SuperBet_ARG:
Hi guys!

Maybe this is an stupid question, but I have this "problem" since I bought my phone.

With every other phone I had, I've always been able to shut off the ringtone pressing any key when I received an SMS or call... I can't do it with the Milestone 2.

I checked all the configuration options... Nothing. It happens with calls and SMS.

It's a Milestone 2 with Android 2.3.6.

Does anyone knows how to enable a button to shut off the ringtone? Or if it's posible to do that?

Thanks!!!

Try pressing the power button. Somehow that works for me.
[Milestone 2 General] SuperBet_ARG:

[Milestone 2 General] devilbatghost:
my advice is dont use ringtones or mp3 for your notifications... because the notification tones are used in SMS tones and the tone you hear when you plug your phone thru USB...

well for ringtone when you receive a call is your choice!
[Milestone 2 General] MaxK47:
Which ROM are you using? With MIUI and CM7, at least on my phone, I can silent the ringtone just by pressing the 'volume down' button on the side of the phone.

Sorry, just read that you are on the 2.3.6. Try holding down the 'volume down' button, it worked here on Brazil Retail 2.3.6.
