[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] finch8423:
The Nexus in my opinion is better in all regards. The S3 will probably be close to the specs that the Nexus has (screen wise).

The main thing to realize is that your smart phone use might change. If you want a phone that will be upgraded, is completely changeable, and can do anything you are willing to do to it, then get a Nexus. Think about it- Android will change to the point where hard buttons are not needed- you will already have a phone capable of accepting those changes that will most likely be present in the next overhaul of android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrewCial:
If you scroll in the S2 browser, the screen movement has a delay compared to your finger movement. Imo its really noticeable and frustrating. GN doesnt have this problem. Paired with the fact that the screen has a higher resolution, Galaxy Nexus is a clear winner in this aspect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Potterified:
Yes,

I think I'd have to disagree with you on this one. Read a review cum comparison of S2 with GNex (side-by-side) on a famous Android blog, and actually compared the two for myself (colleague has S2 and I have GNex)...

If you keep the text size visually the same (i.e. say a 24pt font on one screen and same 24pt font on other screen) then yes, the extra resolution definitely means you can fit more text on the GNex. I mean, even from a layman's mindset - you're fitting in more pixels on the GNex right... so why wouldn't there be more text?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
I have a stock Gnex, my partner has a rooted but stock S2.

The Gnex has a bigger screen at a much higher resolution without moving into "phablet" territory (IMO- see thread about the Gnex being "too big" for other opinions).

If you are a big fan of having multiple tabs open while browsing, you definitely will prefer the stock browser on ICS (which is currently only on the Gnex but will be on the S2 soon). The stock browser on Gingerbread only has "windows", limits the number that you can have open, and forgets what is open if you close the browser. ICS has a much improved tabbed browsing system.

IMO a stock Gnex is also faster in general than the S2 because of the lack of TouchWiz bloatware...but that's a personal preference, my partner loves TouchWiz.

But for the improved resolution alone I think the Gnex wins out as best for web browsing.
[TouchPad Accessories] Ajmazin:
Is it possible to expand the memory past 32GB?
[TouchPad Accessories] Nathanation:
not really, people have used the USB port with a battery power pack to power USB memory sticks ect, but its hardly portable. Other option is using box.net or other online cloud storage....
[TouchPad Accessories] Richard Mongler:
Nope. You can't even disassemble it and upgrade the internal memory, as it's NAND, not an internal MicroSD.

Use the free 50GB on Box.net that came with all HPTP purchases if you're really hurting for space.
[TouchPad Accessories] mastamoon:
Sure! Sell it and buy a 64GB model.
[TouchPad Accessories] RBMacGregor:
Cloud services are the way to go.
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
That would be a pertinent answer if all anyone wanted was storage.

However, it is space for APPS that is needed, which must be internal.
[TouchPad Accessories] wilciws420:
Could you expand on this 50GB deal? I just bought a touchpad and this would be a fantastic thing, but am unaware of how to take advantage of this. Thanks in advance!

Edit- NVM figured it out. Boot into WebOS and download app. :P Too easy! Thanks for the info tho! This will beat the hell out of Dropbox. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
I can't find an answer to this question.

We have a very fast ethernet network at work and a very slow wifi network and poor 3g speeds. As a result dropbox backups take ages.

Is there any way to get my phone to use my PCs internet connection when it's connected by USB cable? I know I'll be limited to USB 2 speeds but that should be a big improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
It is possible with bluetooth, if your computer have that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
Blast i don't have Bluetooth - only a cable!:-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jowabi:
If your PC has a wifi card, you can turn it into a wifi hotspot natively using Windows 7. You can also use 3rd party software if you are on XP.

Once you have the hotspot set up, just connect with your gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
I'll have to borrow a laptop and try that. Shame there's no way of just using a simple cable!

I wonder if the wifi network it will be ad hoc and therefore may not not be visible to ICS. I'll try tomorrow if I can find a laptop.

In the meantime, if anyone can think of a cable method.......

[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
This is something that I totally agree with and is my only complaint with the phone. Mine was the same way from day one. It's just a design flaw....a bad one at that. Button feels "spongy" and have to usually use a fingernail to push it just right. learned to live with it though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wordlywisewiz:
Any way to freaking use the camera button to unlock?

if you break it, which from seeing your posts here in this thread you are likely to do so, i'm sorry to hear that.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Seriously, if you have problems with the power button to where you need to use a fingernail to push it just right, take it into a Sprint store and either have it fixed or replaced. I've had mine since day one and have never had issues with the power button. Sticks out just far enough, and has a light "click" feeling when I press it. If yours is spongy and not working, get it fixed.
[HTC EVO 3D] bbarend:
I have never had this issue with mine. I imagine Sprint could fix it. However, if you go with a custom ROM there are ways to use the volume buttons to wake. Joelz ICS has this option built-in.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I like mine works great I like how they did it this round. I was always afraid of breakin them on the EVO cause after alot of use they would squeek..

On the evo 3d no issues with mine :D
[HTC EVO 3D] bcarter2000:
Go to a Sprint store and ask for a new cover. The power\volume buttons are on the battery cover not the actual phone.

Well, technically it's all a part of the actual phone, but you know what I mean.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Try taking the back off and put it back on top side first. Like others have said, it's just poorly designed.

I had mine get stuck when I first got it because of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:

Get a replacement back cover or use a rom with volume wake. Also use screen off and lock, free from the market to turn off the screen by pressing the screen and not smashing your button all day long. :)

My buddy got a replacement from asurion with the same problem... Power button didn't "click " like mine = hardware failure. He sent it in and got a brand new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
My sprint store wants $15 for a replacement battery door. Think that's a good price or should I try to get it for free. Shouldn't it be covered under the factory warranty?
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:

[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
It is covered under the factory waranty but that's with HTC and not sprint.

[HTC Rezound] Toaplan:
I'll try to make this brief. I bought my phone back in early December. I've had overheating and battery issues from day 1.

Overheating: My phone will constantly get to the "overheat" status through normal usage (not on charger) when I'm on the phone or just browsing the Internet. It gets hot.

Battery life: I understand that smartphones don't have great battery life. I've owned a lot of them. I sometimes unplug at 6:30 AM and end up in the red zone at 3-4 PM. It just sits on my desk. Sometimes I don't even use the phone for anything. This is unacceptable standby time.

I went through the troubleshooting process with Verizon (new battery and charger) and now they are sending me out a replacement phone.

1: I want a new phone, not a replacement. What am I doing wrong? Why won't they give me this?

2: I also asked for a different model phone (Nexus for example, but anything really) and they won't work with me on that either.

Advice?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
1. What do you mean, a new phone? They don't send out "new" phones, ever. They send out CLNRs.

2. They won't give you a Nexus. Period. They'll give you something else, but only if you've been through a lot of phones.
[HTC Rezound] Toaplan:
Thanks. That answers all my questions actually. I would of expected more from them since I bought the phone brand new recently and switched from Sprint just to get the phone, but whatever. Anyone else have different advice?
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
FWIW: I just had to get a Certified Like-New Device....

It is hands down better than my original... and I thought my original was good! this ones got the really red soft keys... no dead pixels...

[HTC Rezound] buckifvr:
The only time you can return a new phone for a different new phone is during the initial trial period (which is I believe 14 days now) and when you do that you will have to pay a restocking fee. After that period you will only get Certified Like New Refurbished phones. Welcome to the world of Verizon. LOL
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
...

If you ever get charged for turning in a unlocked (out of warranty) device under warranty PLEASE let us know.
[HTC Rezound] Toaplan:
Thanks. That gives me hope. This phone sucks.
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Yeah no new phones outside of 14 days. My best Inc2 was a CLNR because the rest had bad speakers or the ugly circle soft keys. CLNRs now a days are actually not as bad as they used to be. New shells and no look of damage. When I worked for AT&T they gave out phones lightly refurbished but still had small dings.

I went through 4 Rezounds within the 14 day period and finally have one that doesn't have pink keys or over heating issues. They were all brand new out of the box. They tried 3 in store and all had pink keys so I didn't even count those.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
My keys have always looked a little pink in the right light. But in daytime, or for most of the time, they're pretty red. That's the color of the plastic that covers the LED. It's just not a solid red. They're all like that.

4g and other wireless activity overheats the phone (on your hands) because the cover is the antenna (something that gets really hot during this time).

If you download a 400mb file on 4g (at a high speed), the phone will overheat. Not just so it's 'hot'. But so hot that you can't touch it.

Un-ventilated phones are not yet ready for 4g. Either new, very cool battery and SoC technology needs to come around, or these phones need ventilation. Not going to happen any time soon, for either case.

If your phone flashes red/green alternating for the status light, it's really overheating. If it's just 'hot' to hold, it's not overheating.

Hot for a person is NOT hot for a phone, necessarily.

and to save battery (if you're really not touching it all day), turn off Internet (Mobile Network). Just make a widget, and turn it off on your homescreen. You can still call and text.

My phone will last 6-8 hours (since I have 3 email accounts, facebook, twitter, and everything else syncing at least periodically) with internet on.

With internet off, if I have very few texts and calls, 2 days is not a problem. The phone loses Between 1 and 2 % per hour, roughly, of battery.

Try turning internet off.

I also (at this point) got the extended 2750 battery ($45ish on amazon.com). The phone still fits in my HTC desk cradle (HTC planned ahead, it fits great) and is even more ergonomic in my hand. And the case doesn't 'creek' as much as the original.

70% more battery life = all day. Give it a shot.
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Yes, green and orange alternating lights is what I got. And. Yes my lights are dark red. I've had 7 total phones, mixture of pink, light pink, fuschia, white/light pink, I've had a mixture of pink and a couple dark.. It's not as cut and dry as you think. Overheating and turning off is legitimate. I'm not saying "owie its warm in my fingers!"
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
i recently had a bionic. kept having issues with data dropping & weird clicking sound during calls. they confirmed the data drop was a known issue and replaced it twice. the 3rd time they tried sending me a thunderbolt and i got so pissed & threatened to cancel service. they then offered the rezound and even included the extended battery.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyg3477:
He lied. First of all the cpu freq for mCPU for each SoC's are diff. Alot of things effects the range when clocking it as no chips are created equal thus even on same chip you might have problem

He simply LIED. First of all not all chips are created equal even on same phone model as its depends on the defect rate of the chips wafer. Second point is the mCPU scale freq for diff SoC's never match each others based on rom/kernel. Third is why the hell would anyone want to OC mCPU to 3ghz? as 1.8ghz for our model is extreme as is but 1024mhz native is more than enough.

Is there a way for adding more apps in the Picture Apps list:confused:

By Picture Apps list, I mean the following

1.Open a Picture

2.Open the options for it and you will see an option for Apps

3.When you click that you are presented with Apps that can directly edit that picture.

Following is the illustration for the same.

I have a Samsung Focus and have installed HTC's Photoeffects, Samsung's Photogram and LG's Photostylist, each of them working perfectly stable.

But currently in my Picture Apps list, only HTC's Photoeffects is visible:mad:(as shown above) but I wanted to include the other two also in the Picture app list as Samsung's Photogram has nice HDR effect and LG's Photostylist has really nice interface:)

So is there any way by which I can somehow make all there of them appear in my Picture Apps list:confused:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It might be a flag in the XAP itself (specifically, in a manifest file, probably WMAppManifest.xml). It alternatively might be something that the app needs to do when run. I suggest applying a search engine to this question.

Also, you could try using the OEM Marketplace XAPs (see my signature) to get much more up-to-date versions which probably don't need modification and can receive future updates. I thought that's what you *were* using...
