[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
depending on the next nexus device i might jump ship just for AOSP and updates. Waiting on manufacturers and carriers to get their butts in gear is annoying. But im happy with my skyrocket for now and will ride it out on my contract.

Also, a 0.0.1 update isnt that big of a deal. If its a 1.0.0 update, or a 0.1.0 update i would be jealous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scala:
People have questions dont need to blunt them down when they arent unsure. I know how to mess with Androids rooted/unlocked and messed with every feature possible on my Nexus S.

Just got my Skyrocket yesterday, refurb from att for 20$. As of now i have both phones. I was just wondering because on the NS im able to root and unroot. with the skyrocket i havent seen an simple root/unroot. I have 90 days to test it out and return it. So thats why i was asking because if I install ICS on it, and something messes up i would like a new one. Simple question.

More like not happening.........apparently they want to show that all the companies have a fair and level playing field which was why LG was kinda hinted towards making the next one. They're definitely on the lower end of the android market share.

But yea, next nexus better be made by Samsung or HTC

Dear Google,

If the next Nexus is made by LG, I WILL NOT BUY IT!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No. Google wouldn't have 100% control over their phone, that's why Verizon Galaxy Nexus doesn't have 4.0.4 already and Google is not providing stock factory images to the LTE Galaxy Nexus anymore.

"The New Nexus" ... really? Nexus devices are not made to be consumed by the mass. It is a reference phone and for hardcore Android users who prefer the stock experience without carriers having a say in what Google can do with their phone in terms of updates. Carriers want control over their phones.

This is untrue. The Nexus S, as well as the Galaxy Nexus, have had huge marketing campaigns behind them. There are adverts for the Nexus in free newspapers and at bus stops, as well as on TV.

If the Nexus devices aren't made to be 'consumed by the mass', there would be no mainstream adverts, and the phones wouldn't be sold locked with a contract on a number of different networks around the world.

Not to mention that Verizon seems to have a say in Nexus software over in the US.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmajpwc:
I was going to say the Nexus 3. I liked the sound of that, till I realized the Gnex IS the third generation Nexus...lol. After coming from an HTC and Motorola background I'd have to hope HTC gets it. Or Motorola, but their designs are ugly. If they fix that then I'd prefer Moto just because of the hardware advantages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You are aware that "Galaxy Nexus" is a nexus device by Google. So Google would own it's name, at least the "nexus" name.

Those are names for other Samsung devices not Google devices.

Galaxy Nexus does not have huge marketing campaigns at all. Yes the ads are there, but it is RARELY ever seen. The only Nexus S ad I've seen are ones on posters at Best Buy. Ads are also on Google AdSense. I'm talking about a mass consumption such as TV / Newspaper ads and consistent advertisements.

Google promotes 'two-step' verification password awareness advertisements more than the Galaxy Nexus.

"Nexus" phones are for hardcore Android users. These are devices that people don't see on a DAILY basis. Compare the number of sales of Galaxy S devices to Nexus devices, the number of sales are significantly different.

Selling something for the mass and the "mass" accepting the product are two different things.

Go around and ask people if they ever heard about a "Nexus S"... compare that and ask if they know what a "Galaxy S2" is. So no, Galaxy Nexus is not a mass consumed device in terms of popularity. Yes, it's sold to the public but the "average person" doesn't really know about the product very well. And let's be honest, Galaxy Nexus doesn't necessarily have the best marketing team for their phone... why?

1) Verizon is too busy advertising devices on their network with the "Droid" name. Compare ads with DROID RAZR MAXX to Galaxy Nexus. People have heard of "DROID" branding more than "NEXUS"

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html -- No advertisement of Galaxy Nexus on front page.

2) GSM model of the Galaxy Nexus is still absent on major carriers within the U.S. We are forced to buy them from third-party vendors such as Expansys, Negri, Amazon, Newegg, and so forth. This highly affects sales.

3) Average user doesn't even know the difference of different variants of Android (TouchWiz, Stock, Motoblur, etc).

You keep speaking on the behalf of "hardcore" users such as people from XDA. Think about the "average user".. apply that to "mass consumption."

The general purpose of Nexus devices is to be a reference phone and flagship phone for the next Android OS version, a standard phone that lets other phone manufacturers to use a similar format. Not to be mass consumed, it's sort of saying. People who buy Nexus devices wants the newest and latest technology as soon as possible and to a certain extent, Nexus users are "beta testers" of the next Android OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abufinzio:
the new Nexus...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
I'm in the UK, you're in the US. The Nexus is being advertised heavily. Every other television advert is for the Galaxy Nexus.

Your original statement was that it wasn't made for the masses. If that were the case, it would be sold through some sort of Google online store, like the Nexus One. Instead, it's offered free on contract to anyone. We're not talking about sales and popularity, we're talking about whether or not Google wants it in the hands of the layman - they do.

This whole idea that the Nexus is exclusive to Android nerds is completely and utterly false. I work in a phone shop, and I can tell you that the majority of Nexus owners are completely normal people who simply want the latest (and prettiest) feature-rich phone.

And Google understands this. That's why 'gimmicky' features such as face unlock were included. Face unlock is one of the features that Google promotes in the television adverts, and it is drawing in a lot of people.

This popularity with normal people clearly shows that Google are heading in the right direction with the Nexus. If it were smaller and made of more 'premium' materials (two common complaints by people who look at the Nexus in-store), it would be even more popular than it already is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That kind of goes back to my point. It varies on location, in the U.S. it is not advertised as much over here. Google isn't responsible for advertising the phone, I mean to a certain extent they are--but the advertisements coming in public in the U.S. are from Verizon and it's advertisement is relatively weak compared to their Droid branding devices.

The reason why Google isn't selling the device on their store is because we all know how that went with the Nexus One. In the U.S., it was rumored that they have a exclusivity for the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. It's now coming to Sprint soon, so we may see more advertisement in the future. We may see this change once again since another rumor appeared that Google will be selling their Nexus tablet.

The nexus branding came out as a device for developers' device (Nexus One), but to a certain extent that's probably why the phone is called Galaxy Nexus for the 'Galaxy' series in an attempt to increase sales. The numbers are still there, when compared to Galaxy Nexus sales to Galaxy S II sales, it is still relatively weak. Nexus devices are still not your typical Android devices that you see on a daily basis.

People can complain all they want about the device materials. Complaining isn't going to do anything because it's here to stay. Galaxy S2 series is very popular and uses the same material for the most part. So that's irrelevant.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Wow, before you keep pushing your opinion as fact, let me help you out. Google made the Galaxy Nexus to be bought by everyday people. Anyone with the right amount of money can buy one; no dev credentials needed. ANYTIME a company makes something to be sold in major retail stores, it is made for the masses. There is no dispute.

Secondly the Galaxy Nexus is advertised on TV in the US. If you haven’t seen it, maybe you need to watch better shows. Verizon very specifically targets sporting events, or family oriented TV. But what you truly don’t understand is Verizon is not responsible for advertising the Nexus. If Verizon is going to pay for a commercial then it will be a commercial about the network. Manufacturers pay for the majority of a devices advertising. Verizon cannot play favorites. Every phone gets the same budget. If a Manufacturer wants more advertising they have to pay for it. Samsung is not going to pump too much money into the phone, because its not totally theirs. Also Samsung is pushing the Note and Galaxy S phones. Google will not pay too much for advertising as not to alienate Android. They don't want to offend other manufacturers licensing their OS. I have actually spoken with very high level Verizon employees about this very thing. What we have seen though is that the Galaxy Nexus has been advertised more than any prior nexus device!

The nexus line does have a niche, and Google understands that. They want to appeal to their devoted fans, but they are also targeting a bigger demographic with the Galaxy Nexus. It is clear they want the nexus line to be more mainstream.

Samsung put around 5% of the marketing budget into the gnex than they did the note. And that's a fact, I've seen the paperwork. Try and get some premimum advertising space paid for by Samsung for the gnex. They won't sign the cheque

Actually it was a good point. The Next nexus needs ONE model for the world. Not one that is international but separated through various radio's and such and having one that is only available in the US one one carrier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirelessgirl:
I truly hope Google does not go with LG to make their next Nexus device. LG's radios is worse than Samsung. Plus their designs are fugly. I hope Google goes with Motorola (since they own them) because Motorola have the best radios. Not crazy about Motorola's recent designs. If I was to go with design, HTC is my first pick.

If it's Motorola - Nexus Pro

If it's HTC - Nexus X

Make the name simple, but give us a killer device. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
HTC has stupid issues like touch screen problems and quirky radios. LG makes a good product but suck ass at software and support. Motorola makes a good product. They have a good Droid line but their phones aren't sexy... more businessy and rough.

I'd like to see Asus make one honestly. They seem to really be pushing the envelope and already have great support. They update my transformer more often then Google updates the Nexus (including prior phones). I'm super pleased with all my Asus products and they always push updates across all of them, even once they've become dated.

Hi

I just got the Galaxy Nexus (unlocked version sold in canada for Rogers/Bell)

I found out that updates are done by Samsung and not by Google in the Canadian version.

I'm looking for a way to get the update as soon as google push them instead of having to wait for samsung to maybe thing about they should or should not forn a commity that will decide if maybe they could or could not release an update to canadian ....and 10 years later get 1 update after google released jello/jellybean lolll

It's my 4th android phone (Dream, SGS, Infuse, GN). I rooted the sgs and the infuse (never used adb yet). And i guess that if i want update from google I will need GN tool.

What I would like to know is where can I get the rom that is working with google OTA updates. That rom must have french language loaded on it if possible.

My gn is a Canadian GSM model. Not cdma or LTE.

If anyone has a link to the official ics rom stock directly from google as they made it please point me a link to it.

If it does not come with google apps I will also need a link to where I can get it.

Thanx a lot. If I get good answer and succeed, i will write a post about doing it for dummy (like me) english with french translation under it.:)

I also just received the text from AT&T informing me of the important update.

My boot loader is re-locked, phone is un-rooted and I used the latest ICS RUU to update the phone.

My question is now or later (assuming I stay locked and on the current ROM) if I happen to select the check for updates option on the phone will I screw anything up?

Does this OTA method give you the option to save the downloaded file but not do the upgrade?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Yes, it will download and let you save for later. You won't screw anything up. However, since you are already on the latest ics you don't need the update.
