I completely agree with you. In my family of 4 we have a GN, 2 GS2, and one GS1. The screen on the GN is on a on another level when compared to GS2, but everything else is leans toward GS2 and most of it has to do with software. The camera is not a big issue (not like I'm taking professional level pics). But the software on the GS2 is just so smooth, GN lags all over the place, random screen pops and then it turnoff, also Data connection drops, etc . People (on 4.0.2) who say this doesn't have happen to them are lying to themselves in order to justify their $500-$600 investment. Like I said before these are small issues, which together makes one big problem. Stuff like this is what Google needs to respond to quickly (Face it folks apple is pretty dam quick when it comes to fixing their broken ****). Rumors about Jelly Bean coming out and Key Lime Pie are just insane that they even talk about it, with out fixing whats wrong right now!

Once again Thanks for reading!

I don't mind waiting 3 - 6 months for an update but when it rolls out, I want it to be real solid, bug free and smooth. That's what us, high end users, want in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williamthegoat:
I'm sitting on 4.0.4 like most of the people here, but it is a little ridiculous that in order to stay up to date we would need to compile the rom itself or root and flash someone else's. The nexus really should have gotten 4.0.3 before anything else. Fortunately its easy enough to take matters into our own hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
I'm on stock yakuju 4.0.2 and, other than the teeny tiny lag that I notice when selecting options such as 'Data Usage' and panning through my apps and widgets, I can't say I've experience random screen 'pops' or sudden shut downs. Then again, I only run about 20 apps and mostly use the device for browsing the web.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cablemike01:
Is there anything in that new update that relates to the nexus maybe its fixes for other chipsets and internal hardware that we don't have to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
a better version of ICS??? are u serious....how is touchwiz better than what Google intended ICS to be?? stop complaining about it and do something about it! Flash an awesome custom rom or sell your phone and get an S2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
What's with all the animosity between users? Wow... they are just phones people.

You may all have differentiating opinions, but at the end of the day, last time I checked, we are all entitled to them. Relax have a drink and calm down.

On that note, it is completely unfair to judge the Nexus against the SGSII. Remember, Gingerbread was created for phones before the SGSII came out. Of course the SGSII is going to run fast on Gingerbread. Just like the Nexus would if it had that software.

Its like getting a Quad Core Intel computer and putting Windows XP on it. It will be blazing fast compared to a Quad Core with Windows 7.

True comparisons can be made once the SGSII gets an ICS update. Not before.

Beyond this, be civil people.

I come into this forum every once in a while just to see what is going on with a "real" development device...I have never read so many absolute ****ty responses to people....flaming like crazy....this is a circus in here. If you post an opinion against this phone your a troll, compare it to another phone your being unfair....its a joke. All I know for certain is that their is a butload of people who think this phones a piece of crap.....and a butload of people who swear it's not. Somebody's lying.

In b4 idiots start saying yeah go to iPhone you are so limited on it

Lol

Also in b4 oh the screen is too small movies would suck on it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
The GNex will probably also receive 4.0.4 in March... 2013
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I'm not blaming Google, I'm blaming Galaxy Nexus.

Sad part about Galaxy Nexus is that not even Google's own people don't talk about or mention Galaxy Nexus anymore. That's a sure sign that Galaxy Nexus is considered a 'flop', it didn't make an impact on the market and other than having Android 4.0, is not very remarkable device. Sales numbers of Galaxy Nexus don't even get anywhere close to Galaxy S2 or even Galaxy Note.

And while I love it, but last time I heard anyone from Google talk about Galaxy Nexus was when it was just announced.

We're on the same boat with every other phone manufacturer as a result, the only difference is that our update should technically take less time than others. Samsung won't update it and Google won't update it in any hurry due to too few people having Galaxy Nexus.

Google is too busy working on new Google TV, possibly called Play TV, and focusing on their video, book and music sales.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You act like Google can only do 1 thing at a time. The Nexus was never (and never will be) the single product the entire company is behind.

And no **** the Nexus didn't sell well. It was never expected to. You really think it'll sell well only being sold on 1 carrier in the US and with little marketing push outside the US? Good luck... The reason why you won't hear Google talk about it in the US is its only form here is the VZW model, which is pretty much a flop compared to the GSM (so much **** with Verizon Google surely isn't happy about). They can't really talk about the GSM model because its not sold here. Its not a device meant to be flaunted around and raved about every day by Google people at every public event. Its a reference device for Android 4, not a blockbuster 20million unit seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
by the time phones get ics, we'll be in talks of Jelly Bean...quit complaining cuz u dont have a minor update in the chain when most of the world doesn't even have an update you've had your months already

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmonthegas:
Last time I checked, here in the UK, pretty much every advert break has a Galaxy Nexus advert. I wouldn't call that abandoned would you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAG:
I think the Nexus is fairly successful in Canada as well... at least it's being advertised, and is available with the three major carriers and a few smaller ones.

GNEX is likely considered a moderate success everywhere in the world but the US... is this due to Verizon's clout? Google probably should have turned them down, and allowed the GSM version with other carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
All of the Verizon stores here have the Nexus as being a top seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Haven't seen any hard numbers, but I see billboards daily, and it's the first phone you see at the prominent display locations both in store and online (Bell, Telus, Rogers, etc...). This could either mean it's not selling, or it's selling well. I love the phone and enjoy it much more than my I9100, which I liked for the most part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
How about actually taking the time to read about it instead of throwing around widely inaccurate statements about future updates. 4.0.4 is in the stage of carrier approval (a step which is still usually needed). JBQ said so himself.

Those are call opinions and there is by definition not a "correct" one. :)

I think the reason it so easily turns into a flame war is because the posts in question are often written in a way that is clearly biased. They can often contain statements that are false (like the "it doesn't play 720p video" statement in this thread). Having to repeatedly correct false statements can get kind of tiring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
5 pages of speculation that the SGS2 is even getting 4.0.4. That's hilarious. The last I heard, the official version of ICS that Samsung is working on is 4.0.1. This happens a lot. How many devices got 2.3.3 after 2.3.5 was out?

It's whining over a number, and it's hilarious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
source? and for what device? :)

actually he said few days ago (2 march) that the 4.0.4 for the nexus was not done yet https://twitter.com/#!/jbqueru/status/175643037421154304
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its on an ota server, which means at the very least its in testing.

So...

Edit:

and yeah, I haz proof:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
ya, but looking at the telephony issues (also confirmed by JBQ), i would say the test went bad :P

https://twitter.com/#!/jbqueru/status/175712809684971521

so they still bug fixing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Telephony in 4.0.4 considerably better than 4.0.3. What are the issues you have heard about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
i'm not having particular issue (differently from a lot of people about signal drop, calls cut)

but for example i noticed i can't change the mobile network mode in the menu *#*#4636#*#*..it stick only to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) (which also confuse me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Probably because you are using a GSM hacked version and not the original CDMA version.

I could be wrong, I am just looking at your location and not seeing any other alternative answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InGeNeTiCs:
CDMA is NOT the original version. Google even stopped support for the verizon version and cdma in general. Carriers are now required to provide cdma support on their end.

See here: Link
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LOL, you are so wrong. AOSP support was removed. It has nothing to do with otas, WHATSOEVER. OTAs come from private branches, not AOSP.

The hacked GSM versions come from this applied to a CDMA rom, and modified to work with GSM.

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM30B-from-ICL53F.659e0a8f.zip

That is looking like a pretty original CDMA version to me. How bout you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
also for me is not clear anyway...im with stock 4.0.2 gsm..nothing to do with cdma and hacked versions...

what you meant is that the ota zip is made for a cdma rom?..but i don't use it at all..and in the menu *#*#4636#*#* it show GSM/CDMA anyway (and the nexus can't handle both, at least 2 nexus can, one gsm and one cdma can :D)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sorry. I thought you were having that issue under 4.0.4. I must have misunderstood.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
ok now it's clear at least :)

I believe that it checks the build prop and having it temporarily unrooted on an official rom it would work but on an unofficial it will not as some of the information held in the build prop would be different

Would be curious to see some links on this.....most of the searches I see for the TFP are much more then $150.00.....you must be smoking something....

To the OP.....pretty trollish question really........

As for the question....I cant stand icrap.....and I use it every day for testing at my real job.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
Not me. I am a pretty big apple hater but my wife on the other hand is on the 'you can't get better than Apple bandwagon'. She has been wanting an iPad for a while now, so as much as I hate it we may just get an iPad2 after they go down in price when the iPad3 comes out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Not trollish, its a real question. I love my TFP, just curious if anyone's having the same decisions to make. Just because it has the word apple in the post doesn't make it trollish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I won't be selling the Prime for an iPad 3, however I might be tempted to sell it for a TF700. Most likely though if I do get a TF700, the Prime will be given to my girlfriend as I am trying to indoctrinate here into Android (already got her a GS2 :))
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:

You're asking this...on an Android forum. Seriously, what kind of answers did you expect?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude2k5:
Get the iPad if you want easy to use. I mean real easy to use. If you want to do something and can't, you probably can't. Android, you could find a way, but you'd need to look. I found that Apple is better for people who can single task while Android is better for people who multitask. Doing more than one thing at a time. The iPad 3 will only have better resolution, camera, and maybe a little faster. The Prime is already better (besides resolution) and does so much more. But, you need to learn it. If you dont want to spend time on technology, get the iPad. But once you start going down the easy path, it's hard to get out. I have an iPad for work (my boss bought me one) and it's very boring already. The first day I learned everything I could. Android I learn new things almost everyday. And its been almost 2 years since I've been playing with Android
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
Exactly..

I've got an iPad 2, as does my wife. It's perfect for her, but I hate how limiting it is.. I wouldn't ever go back to an iOS device. If I can't even get access to the underlying file system, it's just not going to work for me, I don't care what the specs are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DaRacerz:
While I'm sure the ipad 3 will be a great hardware device ios is simply for those users who can live in a very weak and limited multi tasking world. For me its about Android more than the hardware when it comes to the tablet platform.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Interesting, thanks. I love rooting my stuff and flashing custom roms and kernels so I guess ill stick with my prime.

Thanks

If you ever noticed, women are always the ones who prefer Apple products. I think most women aren't very tech savvy, so they go with a more popular brand, thinking it must be good because people camp out for their crappy products.

I def want to check out that display. I certainly am not a fan of iOS in general, but a display like that, and being able to view content in 1080p should be amazing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
1080P can be viewed on new tf-700 aka Infinity pad also. it has 1980x1200 resolution. more than enough to view 1080P movies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
The only thing remotely interesting is the resolution of the screen. In a year or so the Android tablets will catch up in that department.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
I would never sell my TFP for an IPAD. However, i will buy a IPAD 3 for the kids.

I like the TFP. But, I feel I was let down by Asus. They released a product that wasn't tested very well to consumers. Tons of quality control issues. Hopefully they get their acts together with the TF700. I have my fingers crossed that the TF700 will be a winner.

I am not an apple hater. Apple makes some really good products. But, they have always wanted to monopolize the marker. And I will forever hate them for their politics. Heck I remember the days of old PC 8088 computers and the APPLE IIe in the schools. Apple always wanted to control the market. I hate Steve Jobs for that. PC was open source like Android is today. Hardware and Software for PC could be open to everyone. Apple monopolized its hardware an software. Didn't want anyone messing with it or having a hand in it business. Rich snobs always purchased apple. <<--- wow sorry guys got off topic. Old dayz got to me for a bit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mickeylittle:
I just sold my iPad 2 Saturday and I still have my Transformer Prime and will probably pick up an iPad 3 but I do have a question for all you Android vets as I'm certainly not one. Here goes...

Apple iPads are supposedly very limited in what you can do and Android tablets can do so much more but I find that to be totally the opposite. Granted, Android can theme and use widgets and move files around etc... but the iPad has so many more polished apps for business and with Drop Box I don't really have a need for a card slot.

I guess I'm asking what am I missing here? What can my quad cord Prime do that I can't do on an iPad 2?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
iPads and iPhones should be capable of doing anything you can do on Android. iOS apps and games are programmed in Objective-C, which, as far as I know, can definitely keep up with Java on the capabilities tip. The real restriction comes on the part of Apple.

Apple has maintained a tight leash on their mobile OS. They don't want anyone messing around with the system beyond what they allow.

Google is actually the same, but they're just more open-minded (probably because they don't actually make the products themselves). So, since they have such a broad view of things (i.e. Android is open-source), we have a lot more room to play with, hence we can do more with our devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jkvato:
Not having used an iPad before, I'd like to know what things an iPad can do that the Prime can't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
Exactly my goal given I have the money for the TF700 by that time :)

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

Nothing except 3G / LTE until the TF700 is available. This can be fixed by tethering with a smartphone (one mobile contract less to pay).

And for those Primes with a bad GPS antenna the iPad will give you better GPS.

The other way 'round a Prime can do many things an iPad whatever can't do.

I have no intention of crippling the functionality I use with a tablet computer by switching from the versatile and flexible Android to iOS.

As for apps: Yes, there are more designated tablet ready apps available for iPad devices than for Android tablets, on the other hand many Android apps already feature bigger screens and tablet layouts without adapting. So this is no valid argument in my opinion.

On a sidenote and to contradict the "iOS has the better tablet apps" myth: I watched an iPad 2 user using the Der Spiegel app (main German magazin) and it wasn't ready for iPad use, giving him an iPhone experience on his big screen. Pretty ugly. Much like using the mobile version of the website on a tablet. I asked him if it wouldn't be more effective to to fire up the Browser and go to the magazin's website instead and he went " yeah, that's a good idea". Mindless hogs, you might say, but he was a Master of IT like me plus a Dr. title. And younger than I am...

Next to his iPad my Prime showed that non mobile website already, flash included, just like any desktop PC would.

I just checked the Android version of the App and it's running well on the Prime, using it's big screen and higher resolution to the fullest.

Just an observation of mine, but I think many iOS users do not know what mobile devices are capable of if they're let lose.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
Pretty much what demandarin said...I know all about the ipad 2 (wife has one). There's definitely something to be said for the experience of having an iOS device where everything "just works" and where the set-in-stone user interface becomes almost transparent due to its ease of use and intuitiveness. But there is too much given up, imho, in terms of freedom and features.

It's kinda like the Matrix. Yeah, you can stay in the Matrix and eat that juicy steak, get the girl in the red dress, life is good...but limited in scope and direction by an unseen hand. If you leave the Matrix, you give up some comfort...however, you will learn several truths, gain several new kick-ass abilities, and help force things to move forward.
