[Nexus S General] rican408:
No. I get what he's saying. Customized or not the nexus s shouldn't compete. While I don't have a galaxy nexus yet I do have the epic touch 4g.. and no matter what I do to my nexus it will never ever compete with the raw power of the galaxy s II. I would have thought it would have been the same for the galaxy nexus...
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I'm pretty sure it is. Some people confuse the longer window animations in the default ICS as meaning the OS is slower. I highly doubt CM9 on a Nexus S is actually more "smooth" than the GN.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
The GN is a powerhouse. There's simply no comparison. Of course a tweaked and customized OS is better. Also, the unresponsiveness may be because of the dirty screen from the crap other people put on it trying out the phone.
[Nexus S General] Solarian:
I'm pretty surprised that you think that, having handled both myself, there really is no competition, even though I wish my phone could keep up.

As an aside though, the main reason I'm still here with a Nexus S, is because I find the GN to be extremely disappointing. Sure it beats a phone that's well over a year old now, but IMO, can't hang with the S2 at all. I think the S2 will be the big dog until the S3 comes out.
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
When making comparisons of "smoothness", I think we need to specify what action is being compared. I've never held an actual Galaxy Nexus, so can't comment on that. But my Nexus S with custom ROM & tweaks feels smoother when scrolling menus and snappier when loading apps compared to my brother's Galaxy SII. The SII, though, shows its superiority when playing video.
[Nexus S General] irminsul:
I've tried a Galaxy Nexus in a store nearby, and it is way more faster than my Nexus S. From unlocking the lockscreen, starting camera app, starting app drawer, loading settings etc. The GN was way more faster than my NS (running a stock based rom at the time)

And it would be strange if a phone running Android 4 on a chipset that was made for it would be less responsive
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
The gnex is way faster that my nexus s, the only way I even saw my nexus get close to the same speed was by overclocking it to 1.6 ghz, and even then the gnex destroyed it :p

I wouldn't get it tho, I agree with an earlier post about the galaxy s2 being more desirable than the gnex.

I mean look at how fast our nexus s got outdated, only a year ago this was the flagship gb phone that was supposed to be the best. gnex being the flagship 4.0 phone will be the same way, give it 2-3 months and something twice as crazy as the gnex will be announced, and at the rate of smartphone development with quad core being the next big thing the gnex will be outdated in less than a year :p
[Nexus S General] kooskoos1814:
Sadly, just like any smartphone on the market :)

But what I love with Nexus'es is that, even after a year or more, it's still supported like the first day and you always can profit of the last ROM's. Just look at the Galaxy S to see that it's not always so with non-Google phones of the same generation.

Still loving my Nexus S, even if I wouldn't say no to a Galaxy Nexus, especially for the HD display and the HDMI out :D
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
You tell yourself what ever you have to..... to keep yourself from upgrading :)
[Nexus S General] droidfreak007:
Prefer the form factor of the nexus s.

galaxy nexus seems huge!
[Nexus S General] JohnCorleone:
Whose build you are using on the Nexus plays a big part in how fast and smooth ICS is on Nexus. I flash one and it feels a little slow and almost choppy. Then I flash another and it flies and is so smooth. You can't go wrong with aokp, irtehun, or BuglessPete on Nexus. Can't say how it compares to GNex though
[Nexus S General] diegodbm:
I have both with stock rom... nexus s works better than gnex... less laggy and more responsive....

I hope with ICS 4.0.4 it works better..
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
You could send your GN to me if you dont want it :D hahaha
[Nexus S General] diegodbm:
LOL... but I don't think my gf want....
[Nexus S General] dumbdroid:
gnex is the winner in every single aspect...by far! Sorry there is no competition.

The only thing were they are about the same is in development...they are the best android phone in the world.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Is this a topic about some one having buyers remorse

With that said my nexus s runs so good I will hopefully go with the flagship Android 5.0 phone hopefully:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
again, the iP 3GS is my 1st and only smart phone. 1 thing i love about it is the instant/digital Voicemail. does/will Android/Note have this same/similar feature??

tx --- art. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Check out Google Voice. It is even better and will transcribe & email messages to you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Yes, it will have visual voicemail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hauj0bb:
It will probably work like visual voicemail on the Skyrocket: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00044776&fm_seq=45375
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Whoa seriously?? That's awesome Visual Voicemail is on the Note. That was one of the biggest things I missed from iOS. Using the same voicemail as dumbphones seemed like such a contridiction on my Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
Consider Google Voice.

Visual voice mail with text transcription is just One of the features.

Others include setting same phone number on multiple phones (land line or mobile phones) and choose when to ring them based on a schedule.

View or listen to your voicemail via phone, mobile app, or web app.

Custom voice greeting per user

http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skifreek:
x10 !! GV rocks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
What contradiction? Why didn't you just use Google Voice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hauj0bb:
Voicemails sound metallic with google voice, and the transcription is almost never correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daraj:
I noticed when someone is leaving me a voicemail this what happens: phone starts ringing about 4 to 5 times then stops while the caller is still hearing that the phone is ringing for another 5 - 6 times then Google voice kicks in. TOO LONG for the caller to leave a message. Any way to shorter the amount of the phone rings before Google answering machine picks up ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
If only google voice allowed mms

And not sure if you guys have noticed that they say calls wont be free next year? Not sure what that means.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
There was a news recently that Google is experimenting MMS.

Google says that every year. Basically, they don't want to you get the idea that the way current GV charges will be that way forever.

I'm actually using GV primarily for international calling (not Canada) because it is cheaper and hassle free than any other methods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
if this is true then no thanks to GV. my clients need to leave a message, i can't have them just hanging up because they can't wait forever wondering if VM will come on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
You know whats funny sometimes, certain friends may send me an mms message and gv will notify me of it but I'll have to look in the gmail inbox to view it. It only happens with some not all.

Its like I use my minutes every time I make a local call with gv anyways, so I have no idea what they mean. I hope they dont mean it'll cost me double to use gv.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
There is a code you can dial on your phone to change the duration when your voicemail will pick up. It's an AT&T setting, not configuration through any other way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
This is how you adjust when a call goes to vmail

On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.

Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.

Write down the number (including +1)

Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum

Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
I find the VM quality as good as the carriers. The transcriptions are not always perfect, but they are alsays close enough to allow me to quietly read all my VMs (during a boring meeting) to determine if i can delete them or save them to take action on. I find it to be an amazing service; of which the Voicemail is just one part. If you have multiple phone's its invaluable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daraj:
thanks for that, but even if I set ATT voice mail to 5 sec pickup Google voice takes forever to pick up. Seems like GV is the one needs adjustment. im sure there is a setting somewhere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
GV app on your phone doesn't use VoIP at all. What it does is auto-forward your outgoing GV calls to a local phone number nearby. It does this to avoid anger carriers. If GV does VoIP calls, all carrier will bar the app being avaialabe to their phones.

So, yes, you still use you minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
Does anybody think the note will have problems with build quality? I have already pre ordered one and I am having second thoughts now. I keep feeling like that flimsy battery door will be a "squeaker". Other than this concern I am very excited to receive mine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
it will likely fall apart minutes after you receive it. i hereby offer $200 via Paypal to keep you from that tragedy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
I'll give $200 + shipping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I don't think it will be an issue at all. All samsung phones as of late have the same flimsy plastic snap on back, and it's not an issue at all on my infuse. I think it's smart engineering, as somehow they keep a rock solid device while making it super thin and super light, all with plastic. I literally have to wrench on my phone to get the slightest squeak out of it.

I really dislike when every youtube review of any samsung phone complains about the battery cover, because it really isn't an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lovemoddingmyphone:
Almost same like the Galaxy s2. Samsung phones dont have very good build quality
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
The main reason this concerns me is because I had an htc amaze and it squeaked terribly. Thanks for the reply, you seem to know your stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rgarjr:
Back cover is thin and light but does not squeal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
Wow your an idiot!! Samsung has pretty much the best build quality for smartphones and TV's on the market right now. Just YouTube drop tests to see for yourself.. If Samsung is such poor quality then why does every other smartphone company buy parts from them, displays especially?? Everytime you see a phone with a Super AMOLED it was made by Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Your argument doesn't really make any sense. First off, I can't imagine what TVs have to do with this. Yes, Samsung is one of the largest display manufacturers. Yes, they manufacture panels for other smartphone vendors. Yes, they make a lot of very good TVs too. None of this is related to build quality of smartphones.

Build quality can mean a lot of things, but the way I think of it is "how durable the phone looks and feels." Success at drop tests is certainly a part of it, but imo it's a pretty small part. Some people find that the light, plastic-y feel of Samsung phones seems cheap to them, especially when compared with, say, HTC phones, which tend to use aluminum unibodies. Some people worry that the back covers are fragile because they are thin and bend easily. There are any number of other little concerns that people roll into "build quality" too; part of the reason people tend to disagree so much is that it's a very broad term that covers a lot of aspects of a phone.

I personally don't think that Samsung build quality is poor; I've had several Samsung phones and have never had issues with squeaking of with parts breaking, and I am not convinced that it is statistically more likely for a plastic Samsung phone to break than a metal HTC one, and they are definitely less prone to damage than a glass iPhone. I can understand why some people prefer a heavier, metal or glass phone, but for me, I'm happier with the way Samsung's plastic construction makes their phones thinner and lighter. There are tradeoffs associated with pretty much all design decisions, and I generally feel that Samsung has made good ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Thanks for the thanks, haha. I really can't be 100% positive about the note, seeing as I have not held one, but based on the recent track record of samsung, plastic phones can be just as solid as something made of metal. And the plastic definitely gives me peace of mind, as when my phone hits the ground, I know the plastic will absorb much more of the energy than metal will, making it less likely that my screen will shatter. This is most likely why samsung kicks ass in drop tests.

I respectfully disagree. Just because it isn't made of metal, doesn't mean it doesn't have good build quality. With the combination of gorilla glass and the polycarbonate that samsung uses for their phones, I would say that in my honest opinion, they make some of the best phones out there. Not to mention the beautiful samoled displays that they use; i will never own another phone without a samoled screen. Yes, an iPhone 4 has very attractive design attributes, but for a device that I am carrying day in and day out, samsung has a better design to me. When is the last time you saw somebody without a case on their iphone? I run my infuse with no case because I can, and the fit and finish is every bit as nice.

Please be respectful, no need to put down others, that's just their opinion. I agree with your reasoning, just not your tactics. Good point with the drop tests though, I forgot how dominant samsung is in those.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
The build quality of Samsung phones are far superior to any other smart phones I've used it owned. People assume that plastic is cheap. The back of the note is high grade plastic... Keeps the phone light and won't break. Also, samsungs perform wonderfully in drop tests. To me that says quality build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MMAHavok69:
Sorry that was a quick emotional response. I just get mad when people just assume the light plastic of Samsung is poor. I've seen a lot of iPhones and HTC's break or have the screen crack from not very high drops.

I've dropped my infuse a couple of times with just a body glove case and it still looks like new. I think the extra weight of HTC's metal body makes the screen crack easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
I like how the back cover is so thin that some cases for the note require you to remove that thin back cover all together as the case acts like the back cover. I think it was one that has a flip cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
if the back cover was a more solid metal, then ppl would complain the Note is too heavy.

it is plastic for obviously a good reason i'd say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
There's nothing wrong with plastic. And there's no squeaks, I own the International version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
Do you guys think that since it has a larger display it will be easier for the screen to crack in the unfortunate event of a drop? Also, will the note have gorilla glass? I have seen another thread posted about this topic but could not find any official answers. Thanks to everyone for all your opinions and info!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
Yes it has gorilla glass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
The phone isn't even out yet. Do you see anyone complaining about the international note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
Only about the screen, but nothing of build quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZHofmann:
Some people find that the light, plastic-y feel of Samsung phones seems cheap to them, especially when compared with, say, HTC phones, which tend to use aluminum unibodies.

^^I have always thought the Samsung phones felt fragile compaired to HTC's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
There are reports that since the screen is bigger that it can flex more and possibly crack. I would avoid putting into a back pocket which could cause more flexing depending on what you are doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
I always keep my phones in my back pocket but I just remove it before I sit down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Even bending over with it in your back pocket can cause flexing depending on how tight your pants are. Be careful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:

This has always been my keyboard of choice for tablets and it is now my keyboard of choice for the Note. Although there still seems to be a bug that double clicks some letters when you only click them once. Not sure why that happens but its been on going for over a year. Maybe its just how i type

I bought this for my newly squired (el cheapo) tablet. It is a godsend. I hated typing on that thing, and now it is easy. I used to have to use a USB keyboard, but now I can use the screen when required.

I love the ability to change the layout on orientation, and to up the height of the spacebar row, since my (el cheapo, did I mention that?) tablet is unresponsive on the bottom edge making the stock keyboard impossible to use in landscape. This one solved that magnificently :D

[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
xda admins can track their IP address, and should be able to post if you were really hacked or not

but there is no way to really hack - unless your password is lame or you shared it with someone...

...basicly - someone would need YOUR password

YOU need to change your password

and a mod/admin can verify the ip addr

even if the ip addr is different, if its in the same geographical area as your location - you may have difficulty defending yourself.

...i did network security for a ISP for 3 1/2 years -- anything and everything can be tracked..

i see "Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium" in your signature, so XDA admins would need to look at ALL your IP addr history, from mobile to in-house - and look at the physical locations of the addr - and then decided whats really going on
