Samsung manufactures the phone. Not Google.

Samsung is in the business of making money. They charge a mark up. Google phones will always have less for the $$$ than Samsung.

You don't buy a Nexus for the best everything. You buy it for Google and Google services. You buy it for pure android.

If you are after the toys you buy a Galaxy S III.

But, then you cannot complain when Google services don't work properly and the Calender won't sync with Google.

I love pure android. Long live Nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
And so does the HTC Desire.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
This made me laugh, I just put in the best phone for under $2500. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
It's always a trade off of features vs performance vs cost. Some people (the trolls) need to get off their high-horses and realize this.

To avoid disappointment with a purchase, one needs to do his/her research on what best fits their needs, if the phone does not fit, don't get it, it's that simple.

Look at the camera for example. In a time when consumer point and click cameras are hitting 16 megapixels, 8 x optical zoom, all for under $200, a 5 megapixel camera with a fixed lens on your phone will never compete. If you want an excellent camera on your phone, go with the nokia n8 that has a 12 megapixel camera of an iPhone that has better post processing or get a dedicated camera for a few hundered.

I do believe this phone has it's short comings, but they are all in areas i care very little about, so the end result is a phone that i'm very happy with. If i where to get an iPhone (some might consider it a better phone) I would be totally unhappy with the lack of customization, screen size and the amount of control that apple has over what apps I can install.

So to that end, if you hate an aspect so much, either find a way to fix it, live with it or get a different device that does not have that limitation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No it doesn't. It records 720p like crap, just like the Incredible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] walidhiphop:
if you are not satisfied with the Gnex than why did you bought it ??!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trtung:
I've used Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 HD LTE, LG LTE, Pantech Sky A820, Xperia S,Galaxy nexus.

Galaxy nexus aren't the best in any particular spec, but it combine all your requirement for daily use at an acceptable level.

For example:

S2: the worst screen, low res

S2 HD LTE: for Korean user, having some bug although it very very fast

LG LTE: for Korean user, having some bug although the screen is superb

Pantech Sky A820L: for Korean user, having some bug although screen is the best (even the HTC one X can't match it) and calling quality is the best also.

Xperia S: The worst battery and you can't change it.

Galaxy nexus stay in the middle of all the phone so you can't deny it if you want an trouble free solution :D, and in term of design, i think Nexus is the sexiest android phone ever made.

So please don't blame Google or Samsung because they can't please everyone, just get what suits you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ALIHISGREAT:
The Nexus phones aren't gimped...

when the Galaxy Nexus was released last year it was the best phone available -> yeah you could argue that its just an S2.. but the screen and vanilla ICS are just so beautiful.

Everyone knows that the latest and greatest is always just around the corner..

I already put off my contract upgrade from October to January to get the Galaxy Nexus in the UK..

I wasn't going to wait another 3 months for the next generation of phones... which looks to be a wise decision as the HTC One X/S is ugly, has a terrible camera (worse than the Gnex) and is weighed down by sense (although that is pretty irrelevant because most people should be flashing a stock ICS ROM).

so it looks like i would have to wait until June to get the Galaxy S3? No thanks.. i will take my Nexus in Janurary which was already well supported in terms of ROMs, Kernals, root tools (Wug's Gnex root toolkit is amazing) etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
Xperia arc has the same usable ram.

I never said vanilla has more features, you just dont understand the nexus S doesnt have the camera module that can record 720p video. As simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
Galaxy note has a superior display due to being much much brighter. The galaxy nexus has the dimmest samsung android phone display ever WTF??

Engadget recently had an article asking people what would they change in the galaxy nexus and a "brighter screen" was one of the most voted things.

Indoors it is the best display but outdoors it loses to many other phones. So even the much touted screen of the nexus has an issue.

You do know the galaxy S2 and note chipset is much superior to nexus right?

The galaxy S2 had EVERYTHING that was possible. Yes the screen was low resolution but that was actually the sharpest SAMOLED screen ever when it came and not many had an issue with it.

On the other hand why the galaxy nexus doesnt have the same camera as S2? Why it doesnt have the iphone 4S GPU? These things are technically possible but werent done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Uh, no it doesn't. It has more usable ram. Nexus S reserves 128mb ALONE for the GPU.

You are confused between the difference between ram and storage. Xperia Arc has more usable ram, period. Sorry to burst your bubble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Fixed that for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilalexander:
The fact of the matter is that the Galaxy Nexus is not designed to be a true competitor to the likes of the Galaxy S2 or whatever, because the Galaxy Nexus and other Nexus phones are never going to be big sellers. Each manufacturer modifies their Android phones because they feel they can add to the uniqueness, and it is that uniqueness that makes them money (albeit questionably). The Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus were designed as reference platforms; they demonstrate precisely what Android is capable of in it's natural state. It just happens to be a bonus that people sometimes like to buy them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rod3:
Back in my Nexus One days, while following the Nexus S (didn't think it worthy of an upgrade), I thought I remember reading that the lack of 720p recording on the Nexus S was due to a hardware limitation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
lol dude I owned the xperia play, I know what I am talking about. :rolleyes:

"There were some area in the hardware configuration that we were hoping Sony-Ericsson could have improved on instead — like the 512MB RAM (which is actually just 340MB)"

http://www.yugatech.com/mobile/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s-review/

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/14583

Nexus S has 330MB usable which is practically the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Now it is an Xperia play?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
The links are for xperia arc if you would suppose to check. All the xperia line have the same available ram as they run identical chipset and software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Backpeddling now?

First you talk about an Xperia Arc. Then you try to substantiate it because you owned an Xperia Play.

Make you up your mind.

In my opinion, S2 are the worst phone i've used, It have low res SAMOLED, but it's colors really bad, and it not bright as Super IPS at all.

And if Galaxy nexus has the best camera, the best CPU, the best GPU, at reasonable price so every one will buy galaxy nexus and Samsung will sell Galaxy S2 for children, isn't it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
This needs to be re-emphasized:

If you want top-of-the-line from a manufacturer, get the manufacturers flagship phones.

But Samsung has no interest in making the Nexus their flagship phone. That honor is placed purely at the feet of the GalaxyS series.

And last but not least, Google isn't in competition with Motorola, Samsung, or HTC. They don't serve their interests by creating a device which *competes* with the HTC One X, or Samsung's Galaxy S. That only pisses of HTC. And Samsung.

Google's not making the Nexus series to sell 10 million devices. They're making the Nexus to keep Android on track, and to showcase Google's vision.

First go into clockwork and wipe data, cache, and dalvic.

Then flash the stock kernel and then flash this:

And here's the stock kernel

Make sure you flash stock kernel first because after you flash the other zip you will no longer have clockwork recovery you will have the stock recovery. I have done this on two different phones i had to return to tmobile

Hmm... Background agents don't have UIElements at all (and by the sandbox concept you can't access anything not belong to your app).

To capture WP7 screen, you should have an interop-unlock phone and use DllImport library.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Interop-unlock is *not* required to use anything in DllImport, actually - normal dev-unlock works fine.

There actually used to be an app that did what you described (stream the screen contents to a PC in real-time) but I don't think it ever got updated to work on Mango.

Best ICS ROM

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criestr:
First of all, hello to all forum members!

I had not been particularly active here in the forum,

but I read a lot here and build some knowledge.

so far I have solved all my problems due to browse and read.

But now I am facing a problem, where I need help.

I got a desire from a friend with wrong nexus one blackrose hboot.

I managed to install alpharev hboot on it, but its not booting the rom, neither the recovery.

I decided to get a ruu on it, to reflash boot, system, recovery, etc.

After i did:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <rom.zip>

the phone is stuck in fastboot RUU mode. No matter if I pull the battery and power on with vol-, vol+ or back, the fastboot RUU mode starts (Black screen with htc logo in the middle and 4 exclamation marks in the corners).

What Ive done so far:

Tried different RUUs(Europe, WWE) via fastboot. Most of them fail while writing radio image.

Tried to flash the radio image via fastboot. Most of them stuck while writing.

Asked a friend with exactly matching hardware to send me his working nand backup, his hboot is CM7 r2, so I flashed it

to match his nand backup.

I flashed his boot/recovery/system/cache and the latest radio, matching the nand backup.

The latest radio was flashed successfully.

The recovery in his nand backup was 4EXT Touch 1.0.0.3

So, after flashing boot, recovery, system, cache and even misc and userdata (AND erasing them prior on second try), the behaviour stays the same, the phone wont boot the rom or recovery and no matter what buttons I press on power on, it boots at fastboot RUU mode.

I tried

fastboot oem boot

, but that keeps stucking in the white htc splash1

If I plug in the usb cable and pull it out again, I see the hboot infos:

AlphaRev CM7 r2

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.92.1002

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

<date>

RUU

After a lot of research, Ive found several opinions:

-its a brick (sure it is ;D)

-its a radio brick (ive sucessfully flashed the newest radio, so I doubt it)

Almost all users wo tried it hardly, and havent given up after the second try,

recovered their phone from this fastboot RUU mode.

I can run all fastboot extended commands, and flash RUUs over it.

So: what have I done wrong? Is there anything missing?

Can someone who knows what he says please take a look over it?

Thank you really much

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
After "a lot" of research you still haven't looked at my guide, well done.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criestr:
Sure Ive looked at your guide,

I work with linux, and I hate flashing tools.

Is it any difference to use

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img

instead of using Android Flasher?

I dont think so, and Ive already done the steps in your guide, except using Android Flasher to flash the AlphaRev stock version.

Or is there another point in your guide that Im missing?

If so, then I am sorry for wasting your time.

I know, I am "new" here, so thats the standard answer for all newbs from you.

Thats ok. But Ive fixed a lot of phones without open even one thread, just with hours of research. But after google search for about 8 hours, several tries and following several guides and tips I didnt find an answer yet.

New update: Ive managed to push and boot the 4EXT Recovery image.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Fair enough, but the guide was meant to be made as easy to use as possible.

All you had to do was flash the stock hboot, or the downgrader, and then try a RUU.

The reason for it being stuck, is because alpharev hboots have write protection (meaning they won't be overwritten until you use the downgrader), and since you had the cm7r2 partition flashed, there was not enough space in /system for the stock ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criestr:
Hi again,

thanks for your answer.

I had the right stock hboot whilst flashing the RUU, so that wasnt the problem.

The RUU always failed to write the radio. A few hours ago i figured out that

the problem was because of a faulty battery. I changed the battery, loaded it

half an hour, and voila! the RUU was running quite fine.

The stock rom wasnt booting yet, but from then it was possible to go into the HBOOT/Fastboot, so it was making progress ;D

After another research I found out that my misc partition was screwed, maybe because the blackrose hboot, maybe because of the pre-owner.

Fixed the misc partition with cid, kernel commandlines & rom version.

After that I wiped cache and data, and did fastboot oem boot.

The rom was booting, but did random reboots/crashes after about 3-5 mins.

After 3 or 4 reboots the phone is now stuck at htc splash1, and isnt booting anymore.

For now I will try to flash the nand backup again, see if that works out.

Anyone has an better idea?

Thanks alot

criestr
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criestr:
New update:

The phone switched randomly between bootable and non-bootable bootloop/stuck in splash1.

I tried different radios, different boot & system.img from RUUs.

I can flash a new recovery, tried 4 different ones, none of them is booting,

not over hboot->recovery and also not over

fastboot oem gencheckpt

.

The only thing that worked was to erase cache and immediatly do

fastboot boot recovery.img

,

so after the stock rom randomly reboots, I decided to install a custom rom for CM7 r2 hboot. So I flashed the CM7 r2 hboot again, erased cache, booted the recovery and flashed rom.

The rom was booting! But again, after fiddling with flashing a new recovery with 4EXT Updater, the rom rebooted into splash1 and stuck there.

After this first time, it has yet never rebooted again. So I twist my fingers that it was a custom rom bug on first boot.

Flashing the recovery via 4EXT Updater worked for me, despite of none of the recoverys flashed via fastboot had booted before.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Hopefully it helps someone with the same problem,

but I doubt there are many people dumb enough to flash blackrose hboot on a desire ;)

Cheers

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longevity:
I had a similar problem with my old Magic. I have Desire now but never had that problem. I hope not.

Anyways, the way I solved it was to flash the right radio.img. I supposed you can try to fastboot flash radio radio.img. Make sure you use the right radio.img. That is what I did if I recall correctly and it worked for me on Magic. I don't know if it is will work on Desire that way.

The other thing is when Ruu failed at radio, I think it is because the lower version of radio.

I hope this helps.

Try it and let me know.
