[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeartFan40:
If you want a non biased opinion, don't post your question in the G-Nex forum. LOL...

That said, I would recommend getting the SGS II. It's smoking fast, thin, and has gorilla glass. Good battery life when set up properly. Did I mention it's really fast?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
I have to agree.. taking advantage of the zero shutter lag results to blurry photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Its a phone...what do you really expect from the camera?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
S2 has better design?? When it comes to phones, nothings says "sexy beautiful" better than a curved screen. :D

If you want the "professional look" get something with a physical keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sebastianwfh:
i'd say S2 out of the box is more user friendly to ladies

not everyone knwows how to appreciate vanilla android

speaking from personal experience, i bought her a new Gnex for her and i use her S2

well, i have always prefer older phone as the dev is better and more rom to choose from (i was a super vibrant user)

less than 2 weeks, she wanted her S2 back and gave me back my Gnex. LOL

she think S2 is more user friendly and has better quality pix:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
Barring the screen, which is almost as good as the Gnex, I would say SGS 2, as it is miles better than the nexus. SGS 2 is a lot faster.

Camera on Nexus isn't really good enough for a phone, SGS2 Camera is miles better.

SGS 2 is an 9/10 phone, the nexus is a 7/10 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
The screen on the SII is not anywhere close to the screen on the nexus. No idea why you would even say that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
This is such a stupid comment it frustrates me. I expect a comparable camera to the 4s at least.

I'm glad people like you have nothing to do with product development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
focus first!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
I am going to bring this one complicated question to a simple answer and not get too tecky. LOL

I am writing this because i owned GS2 and got Gnex so i experienced both. Not being BIAS.

1) Galaxy S2 since it has a physical home button and it will always be more responsive than touch.

2) 8MP camera although its not a big deal since GNexus has Zero Shutter so its a tie

3) GS2 has louder speakers

4) More roms and development for GS2 (More customizations if you get bored I.e. cm7, touchwiz, cm9)

5) people find touchwiz more friendly than ICS

6) GS2 has FM Radio is a huge plus if you don't have data ( i always miss that )

7) Expandable memory if you ever need more than 16gb ( to me 16gb is sufficient)

8)GNex has 720p display (great for videos) but GS2 Super Amoled Plus is a lot better screen ( i like that more than GNexus Super Amoled HD)

9) GNex will always be supported longer by Google and devs since its stock OS

10) it comes down to personal choice and price and look :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've given my unbiased opinion re: this very subject ~3 times. There won't be a 4th. I will give you a hint however, I sold my SGS2 on Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baadaq:
stop *****ing about the camera, even a good compact camera its tons of times better.

agh don't mention the quantity of megapixels has, that doens't mean anything the quality of the lens is the important think, but nexus an s2 has crapy lens, i would say nexus has a better one than s2, but the two of them are crapy,(the don't even have a decent light sensor).

get on topic:

i would say nexus has more features than s2, better screen, bigger screen, fast web browsing, nfc,google wallet, better desing( don´t look like a copy of icrap) and is a nexus device.

for the record, the quiet speaker its just a soft fail, so some updates will fix it.

sorry for my bad english.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] temka:
SGS-2. No doubts.

But!

The WHITE one!

I have a GNex, my girlfriend uses a White SGS2. It's an awesome model for a girl. Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Wow..... we must have tried completely different phones.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
Affirmative - I remember you from the SGS2 CM9 thread - I guess we both did what needed to happen and jumped ship!

I figured if I was spending that much time reading about how to get stock ICS working, I might as well just get a Nexus.

For me, this is all about software, and not hardware. SGS2 has slightly better hardware in almost all departments. But the Nexus hammers it on software - Touchwiz is really quite irritating. While the additions it had made to gingerbread were ok, to maintain a consistent user experience, it has had to skin ICS in the same way, making it feel like a massive step sideways to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dazza_84:
I also come from the s2 and do remember seeing mudferret in there, there was a lot of *****iness in that part of the site in was doing my head in. Back on point just like I said I've have experience with both, I love my gnex and would not give it up but the only one thing I miss from the s2 is the camera and viewing the pics on the phone. Otherwise gnex for me is my best choice I love it...but by the same token what I like someone else might dislike, its all down too personal preference. I will say though that the gnex is pretty big in size so as she's a lady she probably got smaller hands so keep that in mind. In my personal opinion touchwiz sucks hairy balls, vanilla all the way!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] id10terrordfw:
mudferret isn't the only one to from GSII to Nexus. I did the same, albeit through a couple variants first, and have zero regrets. Vanilla Android to me is just light years better than TouchWiz. Like, I'm willing to give up 50mbit LTE downloads for HSPA+ and vanilla Android.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josephislee:
+1 came from the GS2 forums as well.. I think gs2 is a better choice for a woman.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evohog:
All I know is just about every other device forum is *****ing about ics and wishing they had cm9 already. We have it and cm9 starts here so thanks an goodnight. PEACE:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistermojorizin:
gnex has one thing s2 doesn't - verizon network. better reception, better call quality, better data speeds, and more 4g coverage. i also like having an hd screen. don't game hardcore on the phone and rarely take pics. i mostly use the internet (faster on verizon), send texts, make phone calls, and flash stuff (more interesting development on the gnex)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SmittyWest:
I have fooled with both. I think they are both great phones. I enjoy the development on the Galaxy Nexus and Verizon's network is pretty darn solid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
I can't imagine going back to GB, both great devices, but you gotta get the GNex. Vanilla Android, fantastic design, ICS, button-less front, gorgeous phone. You won't be disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
I totally agree. I traded my gs2 for gnex. Loving it. I am not regretting..;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiwengang:
Gnex is definitely better than gs 2 no doubt. Only competitor is MAXX for the huge battery

From my RAZR MAXX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rtimoff:
Buy something smaller for her, maybe an iPhone4:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I owned both of the devices and I would say if your wife is like every other women out there then buy here a SGSII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lhurtado:
I know you are trying to choose between S2 and Gnex, but so far best camera phone and girl friendly i found is the N8. Also bulletproof, I can't tell how many times my wife and daughters have dropped it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LuffyPSP:
Gnex is for you, and GSII for your wife. I own both at the moment and i can tell woman( most of them)will use GS2 better with their usage cuz i bought my gf a white GS2. she never fancy a nexus even though i kept on persuading her.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
I have a GNexus and my wife a SGS1. I am waiting to SGS3 to be released to buy her one. I would never buy a non-Nexus phone for me, but to her the best choice is the SGS line. Smaller, better camera, TW is kinda user friendly. She dont want to hack around the phone, she just wants it to work and be beautiful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubono:
Lol

I had a nexus one. Traded up to s2 and gave the N one to my wife. She dropped it behind a car which ran over it. Result, shattered glass but working phone.

Loved the s2 but hated the touch wiz. Couldn't find a stable vanilla on the s2 so traded up to Gnex and gave the s2 to the wife. She hated the n1 but started liking the s2. A month back she fell and the phone screen cracked from inside. At that point i got pissed and took the s2 and gave it to one of my staff woo fixed it for cheap.

So here is what i think i noticed from my self using all three phones along with my wife trying all of them.

S2:

Me: Loved how slim it was. Loved the screen, loved how fast it is. Loved the camera. Hated the battery. Hated to death touch wiz.

Her: Loved how slim it was. Loved the screen, loved how fast it is. Loved the camera. No problems with the battery. Identified with touch wiz cuz of the iphone looking interface.

Gnex:

Me: Beyond words. Love the curve. Love the screen. Love how fast it is. Love ics. Love vanilla. adore the camera (will explain) love the battery. Hate the screen coating gets dirty.

Her: she loved the camera.

Now about the camera. If you know how to use it properly then you have a superb camera. With some training and getting used to and using common sense you get an excellent fast camera.

For people who say blurry pictures, i say i would rather have an 80% blurry image than no image at all.

See when you are a parent, those few extra second you gain in shutter lag makes a difference. I have so many unique photos that my phone captured that no other camera got that moment. There were around 10 cameras and my gnex was the only one which could capture it and in good quality might i add.

See for a women i would recommend the following, if you don't have the need to capture photos of kids moving around all the time then use the s2.

But if you are a parent and want to capture moments of kids moving around and not staying still, then the gnex has all what s2 could offer and more.

Im thinking of buying my wife another Android. She is a full time BB user and requires another phone for work.

Im still contemplating to what i should buy her (i already have the gnex so w already have a zero shutter camera), but I'm leaning towards the gnex.

Good luck

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] estpoc:
I have a gs2 and my girlfriend got a gn to replace a lost nexus s.

My gf liked it, but was displeased with the very low speaker, a joke compared to the gs2 (which is not good to begin with), and with the screen.

The gs2 has more vivid colors, and pictures in nexus look bland and lacking contrast compared side by side to gs2.

I compared both in a dark room with screen test, and was surprised that while the s2 gives a true black nexus displays considerable more light, and looks a light grey next to gs2. And the white of gs2 looks whiter than the warmer nexus.

Overall the display is not as contrasty.

Of course, web browsing is better on the nexus display you can read everything. And a 16:9 movie is larger on the nexus display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The gs2 is oversaturated also. Bigtime. Make the colors more accuratebon the gs2 and I am sure the contrast would be more comparable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Lol good one.

I would just buy her smaller phone that hover around a screen size of 3.7'-4' inches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fidyyuan:
This question has prolly been asked a billion times but would it be a good idea to buy the Galaxy Nexus now even though the Samsung Galaxy S3 is coming up soon? Would quad-core even really matter that much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmanxx:
I owned both of them..

I would say the get the Galaxy Nexus which always has faster Software upgrade and software reliability is those OEM cant match with Google Vanila

Galaxy Nexus Screen is 2x better ..the screen looks much more refine..

S2

=> Browser has no auto text reflow (Gingerbread & ICS )

=> Gingerbread keyboard is a piece of ****..very bad English typing at adjacent keys correction
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
These are some boot animations that I originally made for the MT4G, but ported them over to the Amaze. I actually never released the Door of Time animation I made, but here it is. I give it to you guys instead. Keep in mind that I am not a great photoshopper, so it doesn't look like the most amazing thing in the world...just a simple animation.

Here is a video of the Door of Android that I never released. (kind of blurry cause my non-amaze camera sucks, and I don't have an SD card for my MT4G)

Here is a video of the intro to Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (with sound) that I made. (Again, same crappy camera)

If you'd like to download them, you can get them here:

1. Door of Android

2a. LOTZ: LTTP

2b. LOTZ: LTTP sound

If you use the Energy ROM like I do, put the bootanimation.zip (and the .mp3 if using the 2nd one) in /system/customize/resource and that'll do it for you. If you don't use Energy, you may have to poke around your ROM until you find where they keep their bootanimation.zip, and then replace it with one of these two. Hope someone can find some use for these. :)

If you're interested, I made a tiny app to do this a loooong time ago, but it still works on ICS. It's not a pretty app, by any means, but it's functional. :)

Just pick a folder, pick an image, and it'll set it as the wallpaper without prompting for a crop. Just make sure you're using a 1440 x 1280 image to get the best quality.

Has anyone's Ace randomly shut off? Like, the other day, I woke up and found my phone off (while charging) and now (while charging as well) I was using it, locked it and put it on the table to find the green battery icon it shows when the phone is off and charging.

Does anyone know whats going on? I'm not using any scripts or mods. Just Beats and Ram Manager set on normal balanced. Think its the difference in governors? I have a charging profile of 844 max performance and a normal profile of 806 ondemand.

Doubt it, but who knows.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbobombo:

I had the similar problem when I got the phone brand new. My phone was restarting now and then. Also due to bad battery readings I thought, my battery was defected. So I got replaced in Service Centre. Took me 2 hours to fight with them and finally I won a replacement battery with an old one.

I'm saying this in your randomly turns off thread, because after replacement of battery, My phone never restarted. So This

could be

a battery problem too.

Another suspicion can be your CPU. Dude, Overclocking can reduce your CPU life span. Not every hardware gives the same performance as same clock. In another words, you can't say your overclocked CPU will ran flawlessly, because your friend's overclocked CPU ran 10 months without problems. I always say this, If you want to stay out of trouble of hardware problems, DO NOT OVERCLOCK CPU. You might are seeing it as "just" 44Mhz over 800Mhz. But, also you don't know whats your CPUs facing. Can you?

PS: On Performance CPU governor uses the MAX CPU clock all the time, even when its idle.

Good evening,

Does anyone know if a good Bluetooth that is good to use indoors where the person I am speaking to cannot hear or be bothered by my TV or others speaking in my room? I share a room with my brother and unfortunately I bought a Plantronics explorer 250 where she says the TV sounds super load when its really not and I sound very low. She can also hear every time my brother talks which annoys her at times. I used to have a Plantronics voyager 510 where she would never even know I was using a Bluetooth and on top of the fact she could hear me perfectly, she wouldn't be bothered by anything else. I wanted to ask you guys what you thought before resorting back to it. Anything around $50 is fine, the cheaper the better.

Thanks everyone.
