Wait for mwc and HTC edge if price isn't the big deal ;)

Otherwise, i personaly would buy a sensation, the gs2 is sure a nice device, but like mentioned above the screen isn't the best and the plastic body feels weird.

The galaxy nexus isn't a device for me, there are 2 dealbreakers at my opinion, even if the resolution is better than at the gs2 the grapic chip is wors and there is no sd slot.

The update cycle is sure a point and the nfc also, but for my opinion it's a pure developer phone.

The sensation is from hardware almost the same like the sensation xe and every rom can be exchanged between those 2 devices, there is no nfc, for sure, but the gs2 also haven't got one, so this isn't a point of interest for you i think.

Also even if all of them have them same frequenzies the sensation runs at a stock speed of 1.5 ghz with an xe rom, so it got the highest frequency of those phones.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
yeah i'd wait for MWC but if not galaxy nexus for all the reasons above. It is definitely not a slow phone, especially since google probably built ICS for the nexus. The only thing i hate about the nexus phones is the fact that they're always released at awkward times. By awkward, i mean right before all the new hardware comes out. My brother has an S2 and it does have a horrible plasticky feeling. While the galaxy nexus is the same, it seems to hide it better. The white S2 is even worse! It has no grip on the back which makes it absolutely horrible to hold, not to mention a liability too.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Brilliant!

Love the rant (and i thought i was the only one with this illness)

I agree on mostly everything you've said above... especially HTC screwing up on its strengths... build quality, sub-par components, and progressively bloat-ier (i know that's not a word) Sense... Though i'd still buy an HTC instead of a Samsung, all things set aside, they do better stunts!!:p
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Yeah. Your words seem to come right from my mind.

a desire s pro would be really cool :D

Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
If i had the choice, i'd choose the sensation in a heartbeat.

First, it has the beat build IMO. The SGS 2 is too plasticky and since it's far too thin, it feels weird in my hand. The galaxy nexus is waaaaaay to big. The sensation is perfect

Second, HTC Sense. It is just too good and i can't get a device that has no chance of getting Sense. Besides, touchwiz sucks and the stock experience on the nexus can be acieved through an AOSP ROM.

That said, the super amoled screen is quiet good ad a plus point of both sammys.

That said, i recommend you wait till MWC. Something awesome will surely come up. There is a thread, full of leaks on the two upcoming htc devices, the One X and the One S.

it has to be the htc amaze, i think its a great phone, in addition to that htc has quality in its build, as in our desire s the aluminum feel is way better than the plastic in most samsungs

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagle132:
So I'm considering either trying to exchange my GNex itself or my extended battery. I simply cannot get the battery life that most people, including my personal friends who have the device, are showing. My battery graph is never smooth and rockets downward at awkward angles. I've tried stock, many different roms/combos of kernels. I've also tried most battery tweaks I have seen. I had the Android OS bug originally, though after I tried out the 4.0.4 update it seems to be fixed. Nothing seems to be working. As an example, I had 15% battery left after 10 hours yesterday with no voice calls, 35 mins of screen time (barely anything), and having used no apps besides texting and a small amount of browsing. On the extended battery, that's fairly terrible. A voice call of 15 minutes will drain my battery about 10%. Nav will drain about a percent a minute.

Also, I live in a major city and never have signal issues. However, I am on wifi about 90% of the day. My brightness is always set around 15%.

As a test, today I flashed stock GummyNex and install absolutely no applications besides BetterBatteryStats. I currently have 30 minutes of screen time, and 15 minutes of voice calls, and have done nothing else besides a couple texts/a few minutes of web browsing. My results are fairly bad for having absolutely no applications installed or running, especially on a fresh install. If I had other apps installed and some things syncing, or if I had used my phone like a normal person and done anything else besides very minimal browsing, my phone would have died a while ago.

I'm attaching a few screenshots of when my phone was at 50% with this fresh GummyNex.

So the question is, could there be a hardware issue here that is stopping me from having reasonable battery life? Should I try to get an exchange?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LaGgY_42o:
Exchange it, I'm on my 4th Gnexus due to signal issues and have experienced the battery length differ from phone to phone, am about to exchange this one due to the flash led not working lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stephen289:
Are you using 4G LTE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagle132:
Good question, meant to mention that. I almost always turn 4g off. However, I am on wifi 90% of the time regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagle132:
Did you have much trouble exchanging it? What did you tell Verizon was your problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I would love to have battery like that. Mine can barely last 9-10 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I had to exchange one also, defect. Battery died in under 5 hours. Didn't have amy questions asked, exchanged it right away. This is my new battery life. Not as bad, but still jealous of my nexus s battery life.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
You could start by researching more because it sounds like you simply did something wrong because you didn't do the proper research. Now, go flash CWM via NVflash and do the rest of the needed steps to wipe the phone and install a custom ROM. You can find the data you need in the development section.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
I hardly ever start posts like this, but I just felt I needed to say that this phone is freaking awesome. In the past year and a half, I have had the hd2, mytouch4g, g2x (briefly), and was seriously considering buying the gs2. As a matter of fact, when I received this phone as a warranty for the mt4g, I said "well, it will hold me over until the gs2 comes out/I have money for it." I don't even want that thing anymore. I truly feel this phone is one of the best on the markets, if not the best. The best camera, tv out, excellent processor and memory, and a fine hardware keyboard. Never thought I would use the last one as much as I do now.

At the beginning, this phone was lacking in devs, but romanb, blue, and undead breathed new life into it. Now we are getting more and more devs who can only bring more to the table. My hat's off to all the devs. I think from here, this phone can only go up. Truly one of the most overlooked phones imo.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I agree, this is one of the best! I have a feeling that it is just going to get better, I am seeing more and more new people over here, so maybe we will finally get the attention this phone deserves. I always have the best phone out of most groups of people. I even amazed an Iphone user the other day. (everyone at my school has Iphones, I don't know why).

Just came over from the G2. Glad to be here :) Especially with all the new support in the works.

We really need to push more G2 owners to move to this device.

I was playing GTA 3 on my G2, and you could tell the hardware had reached its limit. Not bad, but laggy at times. I know it's asking a lot from my phone, but it made me realize that it's not as invincible as I thought. OCed to 2GHz and you could cook an egg on the back of it.

This phone has just that much beef under the hood. Exactly what I need

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Best part about this phone is that it will outlast the devices from its time, ie Sensation both XE and 4G, Amze 4G. Most of these devices have a much higher resolution than the DS, 9xx by 5xx vs 840 by 480, thus the adreno 220 on the DS will be able to handle more load before it hits its ceiling. :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzi_a:
Hi, I have a Desire which has been running many different ROMs today since i just got a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 16gb class 6 memory card for it. I had a Class 4 4gb card before which worked fine but i kept running out of space.

I put the card into it's included adapter and put it in my computer, successfully creating a 1.2gb ext3 partition through EaseUs partition manager. I put a new rom on the card, put it in my phone and flashed it.

The ROM (MIUI-Au ICS) worked fine but it said "unavailable" in everything to do with the sd card and isn't recognised by any file explorer. I thought it was just the ROM and installed Mildwild and a few more but they all said the same thing. All the computers recognise it fine.

Anyone know what's wrong? I've searched everywhere and found no solution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzi_a:
Also now my 4gb sd card isn't being recognised. Is it my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjdines:
Using GParted I managed to put the Ext4 partition before my Fat32 partition and the phone certainly didn't like that. It wouldn't recognise the storage, my PC wouldn't mount the card. I had to put it in the laptop and only Ubuntu found both partitions and allowed me to re-partion correctly. If you have the ROM running, download 4EXT Recovery Control and see what that has to say. Otherwise I'm too much of a noob to help! Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mustangboy88:
I just signed a contract for Verizon last Saturday for my Nexus coming from Sprint. Since I was coming from a budget carrier I choose my plan in consideration. So I got the 450 minutes/1000 texts/4gb data. Unfortunately the only that gets discounted is the minutes. So I am considering just porting my number to GV and save myself the $10 and have unlimited texting. I wouldn't have considered this route on Sprint as there was plenty of times I didn't have data while roaming. Don't think I will have that problem with VZW. I was wondering if anyone has tried this. I am still within my 14 days to return the phone, although I don't want to, but I figured it would be the best time to do it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Most people note that porting your number to GV does break your contract.

I've been informed by some people who say that if you pay for the porting yourself, it won't break your contract.

I'd figure out the costs up front if you plan on going this route.

Also remember, you do not get MMS with Google Voice texting. And there are a lot of other niggles about Google Voice I'd look into if I were you before going all-in with it. I've been dealing with it a lot right now and it can get frustrating. But once you get it all set up it really does work well and have so much more functionality than a regular dumb number with a carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mustangboy88:
From what I have read is that you can do a loop hole by getting a plan with friends and family, then have your number as one of those so it ends up being a free call. I don't text much. Maybe 300ish/month. So MMS isn't a deal breaker. Doing the math before all the fees I am paying $7 more if I go with GV, but with that I am upping minutes from 450 to 900.

Edit: After reading more forums, it appears that doesn't happen anymore. The number is rerouted multiple times before it gets to end caller.

Incipio Feather

- Claims to be less than 1mm thick

- Made from Polycarbonate

- Soft touch finish

- Comes in 4 different colours, this one is Iridescent Blue/Green

The Verdict

It's awesome. Extremely thin and very lightweight, this case makes the phone feel much more solid in the hand. The soft touch texture also takes away the 'slippyness' of the original back cover, and best of all, it doesn't add any more bulk to the phone. All the controls are cut out, so unlike some of the gel/TPU skins, you get to press the naked button rather than pushing it through the case, which is very nice. It fits perfectly snug and doesn't rattle around. Definitely my favourite case for my nexus and I definitely recommend it if you can find it for a reasonable price like I did.

Price: $17.95 CAD, from BlueShop (a canadian online smartphone accessory store thingy: http://www.blueshop.ca/incipio-feather-case-for-samsung-nexus-s-teal/)

Zagg invisibleSHIELD

- Claims to be military grade screen protection against anything from nails to keys

- Lifetime limited warranty

- Applied with liquid solution and rubber squeegee

The Verdict

The installation wasn't too difficult, although getting the actual screen protector off the paper backing proved challenging. Getting the thing on the actual screen was very easy, all you had to do was spray the actual protector with this liquid solution provided and then slide it into place. This actually worked way better than I thought, and I was able to position it perfectly. Once on a dried, the texture took a little getting used to as your finger definitely doesn't slide as nice as the naked screen. However, the protection you get, imo, is worth the price of the weird texture. Plus, unlike other screen protectors I've tried on this phone, the curved glass at the bottom and top of the screen near the bezel actually sticks down nicely, unlike the other ones that didn't stick to the curve and collected dust. Overall I think its a good thing to have on your screen, but the price can only be justified by the warranty- which fortunately I haven't had to use yet.

Price: $14.99 USD from Zagg's website (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php)

I run a very similar set up on my NS4G save that I use the Best Skins Ever screen protector which seems to have a lot less "orange peel effect" (and the black Incipio Feather). My phone feels light and well protected. I especially love how the case keeps the screen (as well as the bezel) off of the tabletop surface when I put it face down.
