Wow, that's encouraging.

And what do you think of the screen? How does it look off-axis?

Also, anyone care to comment on battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Battery life is pretty good, but bear in mind most of us Sprint users are on stock. :p

I got down to 85% with ~40 mins screen on time, watching netflix entire time on WiFi.

EDIT: 720p screen is beautiful!!!! Haven't even tried MHL adapter yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbgrp:
Stock rooted flashed a trinit kernel and left the rest alone for now.

Granted not stock kernel....but still shows good =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronnienyc:
Does the browser properly reflow the text when pinch / zooming?

And has anyone actually found a vendor which takes that Google Wallet? ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Just checked the browser. Stock browser doesn't do this, but I use Dolpin HD and it works fine. Haven't tried Chrome yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
This is my review.

Overall design is very similar but I like the design of the Galaxy Nexus much better. Both are great phones but in my eyes the GNexus is the better of the two. Despite the talk about a poor GPU this phone runs all the same games as my E4GT with 0 lag and it even looks better thanks to the superior screen. Call quality and all sound is great. The speaker is fine, it just plays louder with better quality audio like it should and if you try to play low quality audio it of course is low volume. I have not experienced any issues with the device in particular and I am happy about my decision to switch. Battery life is great!

If you have any other Sprint device I highly recommend making the switch!

That has never been a feature of AOSP browsers.

Has anyone tried the James Bond Kernel?

Unless you are in a non 4G area you have to take into account that your area is pushed more of the 3G bandwidth. Now as far as the Galaxy Nexus goes Sprint is pushing more 3G bandwidth to our devices because of the fact LTE is not yet active but don't be surprised when LTE in your area is up that your 3G speeds take a dive. I am in Dallas and my E4GT wouldn't even go anywhere on 3G with even full bars. This device on the other hand flys on 3G but because of what I stated above. The same is true for all iPhone's because they don't have 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Here's my speeds in Houston Texas

Sucks big time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Speeds in las Vegas are around 1-1.5mbps almost the same compare to my iphone 4S screen is nice but camera idk. We'll see how it goes after a week of use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Not a Gnex issue though, that's just crappy Sprint 3G for you. Should be called 2G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Yeah I figured it was a network issue. It was like that on my og epic 4g and could get 4g mist times on it. But I'm assuming that u can't get 4g on the galaxy nexus until LTE is actually turned on correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Actually, when I was on Sprint I would have been happy to pull that speed consistently on 3G compared to the speeds I was getting. lol

Their crappy ping times don't help either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
ouch that's rough... I can pull 200kbps down/up on T-Mobile EDGE lol.

I don't remember Sprint 3G being THAT bad when I had my Evo 4G. Guess that was pre-iPhone though...

I am in the process of rooting my tab and i need to click and drag a zip file to my tablet on my computer, but i am not able to do this. Any help please?
[Windows Phone 7 General] CaiKroll:
I know its a bit random but I figured Windows Phone deserves it.

Here is my top 10:

1. The UI

2. When I receive a text the screen doesn't turn on until it recognizes light.

3. Music Player

4. Zune sync

5. Easy developement

6. Easy to use

7. Automatic Brightness works better than others (iPhone)

8. Contacts sync online, no need for backups!

9. FaceBook + Twitter integration

10. IE Mobile
[Windows Phone 7 General] chaitanya91845:
How could you forget the ME tile? :)

And how about XBOX live, Bing Vision and TellMe?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doesntexist:
Also the SkyDrive integration with office mobile, very handy with OneNote. It will be a killer feature when Windows 8 is released since it revolves around SkyDrive :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Just started using One note recently. I have to agree Skydrive makes it rock. now if the wp version only supported one note pictures that i make from my tablet :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] ChrisKringel:
This Feature is great. I'm not sure if ist based on the Ambient Light Sensor or the Proximity Sensor. But it sure saves some battery when I have the phone in my pocket.

Another thing I absolutely love is the Office/SkyDrive integration. I set up the SkyDrive App on my Windows PC and added a Folder called "Synced Documents". Then I added this folder to my Documents Library. Now I can easily save Documents on my PC and they are automatically synced to my WP. I then can edit them on the go and review These changes back at home.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
Hmm my phone (LQ Quantum, c-900b) does not behave this way.

What phones do not turn on the screen when they sense they are in the pocket? (i would guess it would be proximity sensor not ambient light)
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Well mine is a bit nerdish

I love the fact that the calculator changes functions when you turn in from different orientations turn left trig turn right hex, bin calculator :) pretty cool imho.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
Nobody does Office like MS. Skydrive Browser for Android, has anyone used this abomination? Even Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.x synced tasks, can't say the same for Google. Quickoffice and Documents to Go are capable 3rd party solutions for iOS, Android and even webOS, but none give you the same experience as the "real thing".
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
I love, Love, LOVE that I can write something up on my laptop and save it to a SkyDrive subfolder, and within a few minutes have it appear on my phone. The SkyDrive update was one of the most amazing things to happen so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] qjuanp:
I love of Windows Phone

Office Hub, especially OneNote

Pictures Hub and the Music player.

Can someone please tell me why I'm getting this error? I've Been with android for years and I just don't get this error.

I have over 19gb free on virtual sdcard and 1.9gb free on phone. Yet when I try and install titanium backup is asking me to make space!!!

I'm swearing my head off here. I've even uninstalled some stuff but still!!

Someone please give me an answer please
[HTC One X] piero0402:
really don't know, but isn't there like 2GB's of space for apps?
[HTC One X] thedan55:
Quick update I've just installed 2 huge games and the installed fine. Think it's titanium backup. Weird
[HTC One X] thedan55:
What I noticed is that the one x installs everything to the sdcard
[HTC One X] thedan55:
fixed it. was a problem with titanium backup. deleted the files (not backup) from sdcard and root and all good

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
We are now near the Tango release and Windows 7 hasn't changed that much at all; it is still very limited as far as customization or generic functions compared with it predecessor. With that said has anyone gotten any closer to creating the ability to create a custom start screen wallpaper? Or will this ever happen at all?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dada051:
I don't like transparency and the glossy IE icon...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaitanya91845:
I don't like it too. Or maybe I have grown accustomed to the black background. Choice is good though.

Anyway, MSFT has announced that there won't be custom wallpapers in Windows 8, while it is in metro mode.

I guess it will be the same for Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Well that's just disapointing; at this rate I don't see WP going any where but down hill with it's you can't do this or that restrictions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
1 out of 4 posters are happy with black background and WP will go downhill? :|

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinchy87:
Metro style is that what you will se of MSFT over the next years, because it is an eyecatcher, look at other operators that "steal" this style that msft make popular. if they stick with if long enough they will gain succes! all the fancy stuff that was from 1990 till 2010 was just personification that was "not necessary". and plus it needed more resource to work. all the little things like shadows under icons, gloss, metallic, transparent tiles, transparent icons, aero style, everything is just the past. Metro just lives on. and give it a chance, iOS had this chance with it blueish iOS on phones, and android had it chance with colorful styling, just give metro a chance and it will win, because it is NEW, FRESH, LIGHT, UNSTRESSED, FAST, MODERN and many more things. if anybody dont believe in msft with they metro style i suggest, sell your pc, buy a mac, or google device, sell your wp7 or in the future wp8. and uninstall windows 8, delete it, and move on like you wish to do :)

but believe me, ipad user would pay to get windows 8 on an ipad! dont be silly like them to want some other style that is not the style of your device! if you want another style, just switch...

and for the ones that want a change on windows 8, it is still the windows that you can modify like in the past. and the background picture is also only a picture on windows 8, and everything can be changed. everything that man can make, man can it change or destroy :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobzero:
Those transparent tiles and gloss with the cluttered background is painful to look at.

Give me simple, clean, clear metro any day over that garbage.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCornholio:
I highly doubt that anything like that will happen. What makes WP7 standout is the black background with the colored tiles. The photo you provided looks alot like Android, and that is terrible :P

The power of Metro is the simplicity :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sobralobo:
I'm on Android but I already try Launcher 7 to have a taste of what is WP7. And I agree with above, in your picture I personnally see more the background than the tiles and it not the aim, I think, of Metro UI (btw the transparency of your picture give me headache, no offense ;)).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penite:
I think it's great,except the IE icon..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laptopdragon:
i have set my wallpaper, but don't remember how.

it was an app that allowed it, but then i didn't like it for some other reason and deleted it.

the more i use this stupid windoesn't phone, the more i HATE it.

my old G1 is so much more versatile.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helterskelter:
The iPhone is pretty successfull for a restricted OS, wouldn't you say?

I'm sick of people saying WP is 2. rate because it's limited yet the most popular phone OS ever is just as, or even more, limited.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
I'll say what I said on the "can I install Android on my WP7 xxx handset" threads: choice is bad! I hope you never get to the level of customization where you can Androidify WP7's Metro.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
LOL, having a start screen wallpaper won't Androidify the Metro at all, just allow for personalization. WP is really going no where just look at it's Market share will at least here in the U.S. To top it all off now all of a suddent for no apperent reason, I can't send picture attachments from my phone at all. I try to keep a posotive attitude towards the plat form but this is just rediculous. I am starting to dislike WP again little by little.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovenokia:
seriously? windows phone market share is growing in the us, last time i saw was at 7% and rising. The nokia lumia 900 is getting a lot of marketing, in may and june there will be even more marketing and now every employee must sell one of those phones monthly. If anything windows phone is getting on the rise now espically when att is sick of taking orders from apple and verizon and joining that bandwagon too.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Nokia is doing a good job and so are other phone makers like HTC there is no question about it but it is MS it's self that is holding back the full potential of what Windows Phone could be. Hopeful with the release of Windows Phone 8 this will all change but they just keep us holding out for nothing. And not to argue but 7% is nothing. I have a Windows Phone; you know how many other people have a Windows Phone? Maybe 1. The truth is the truth and the numbers speak for them selves.
[General Questions and Answers] indomitable12345:
Hi, I am from india and we don't have galaxy nexus over here yet. However, i can get a phone from US through ebay at around the same cost as S2. The difference is S2 is available in India with an year of warranty. Nexus however is available with a US warranty of an Year which i might avail of through relatives in US. The main advantage of Nexus for which i am considering it is its brilliant display and pixel density and the fact that Jelly Bean would be definitely updated on Nexus. Can you guys suggest if i should go by the jelly bean update and display of nexus and get it from US or I should get S2 in india? Just need your opinion guys as I am really concerned that if Jelly Bean is released this year, then, spending this much amount on an ICS phone won;t make sense...

Thank you in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] androidrealsteel:
In my opinion, go ahead and buy the galaxy s2 coz i think its better than the galaxy nexus, in terms of camera, battery life and performance. Galaxy S2 with ICS gives better performance than the nexus.

Coming on having jelly bean, it is being anticipated that if Google does release jelly bean this year, it will be an upgrade to honeycomb that is jelly bean will be only for tablets. I am not 100% sure about this, but if you research more on the internet, a lot of websites say that it is likely to be just for android tablets.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

also i m pretty sure that if galaxy nexus gets the jelly bean update, the galaxy s2 will also most likely get it.
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
The s2 has better battery, camera, and procesor (assuming youre getting the exynos model, snappdragon sucks). Not to mention itll be getting an ics uodate....eventuaaalllyy. The display on the nexus isnt that great anyways considering its pentile. S2 for suuuuuure
[General Questions and Answers] indomitable12345:
Thanx so much

Thanx so much for your quick response guys...just one more questions...You think its good to get the already available Galaxy S2 instead of waiting for Sony xperia P?

Thanx very much!!
[General Questions and Answers] indomitable12345:
S2 is about an year old

Guys, S2 is a brilliant phone for the price its available now. But, does it make sense to buy such an old model phone now or wait for xperia P or HTC one S in that price range? Further, which of these models or the current phones do you think stands the chances of getting a jelly bean update (except the nexus of course!!) when it is out as i can't change me phone so frequently as google releases new updates.

Thanx in advance for your help!! I want to join the android community soon :)
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
If you're going to wait for a phone, just go with the S3. The S2 has been out for a while now. The One S is good if you're a Sense guy. I personally like touchwiz.
[General Questions and Answers] caloyzki:
go for the s2. verry good phone at all.
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
If you want a phone that has a high chance of getting a jelly bean update then go for Sony Xperia S (don't get the Xperia P!!!). it was released with 2.3 but ICS is on the way.

BUT take note that the old Xperia X10 started from 1.6 and got updates all the way to 2.3. In my opinion, Sony has a good reputation in updating their flagships.

But if my options are limited to the S2 and the Nexus then of course I'll be getting the S2. It's better overall and dev support is great.
[General Questions and Answers] indomitable12345:
can't buy S3 or Xperia S

Many thanx for your replies. The problem is both xperia S and one X and S3 would be beyond my budget. If i just have a choice of S2, Xperia P, one S, Atrix 2 or equivalent phone in that budget, then which phone would have the highest chance of getting a jelly bean update and which one do you think would be better.
[General Questions and Answers] Shell47:
hello

go for the S2, both have customs roms but for s2 are nicer + u have usb support if u need (mouse, etc)
[General Questions and Answers] noheart15:
xperia S, It very good!
[General Questions and Answers] mihir23:
If you are impatient then go for gs2 but if you can wait till sometime next month ( I think its may 3rd), samsung will announce galaxy s3.

You would be much better off getting that as it has a //Rumor// 1.4 ghz quad core processor and a 12 MP camera //Rumor//
[General Questions and Answers] :
If you dont wanna wait S3 then my sugestion is to buy S2. Because nexus and s2 have same specs. Well display on nexus is better, but i dont think that you should buy it just because of bether display. And about the Jelly Bean update i read somethin it will be just for tablets.

CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG!!
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
Guys you're not really paying attention. He said he CAN'T afford the One X and the Xperia S, how much more the Galaxy S3????

My suggestion is to go with the Galaxy S2 or the One S. Whichever is cheaper.

Goodluck on your purchase! ;p
[General Questions and Answers] 215aphilliate:
i have a Galaxy Nexus & Galaxy S II and i personally think the gnex is better. The overlay on ics for the gs2 is bad and it looks exactly the same before the update. the Gnex is guaranteed jelly bean the same day that the new nexus phone is released just like the nexus s got ics when the gnex came out. specs are the same but the gs3 is coming soon and the gs2 will fade shortly there after.

Galaxy Nexus>>>

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patass:
My upgrade is in october, but I'm fairly certain I could convince sprint to cut me some slack. Basically, for the past year or so I've used CM7 on my Evo. I like the full customization available in a stock rom. I'm sure CM9 will be available for both of the phones I'm considering at some point, but that will kill the sense features like the amazing new camera which I feel like I need (most of my photos are in doors in low light situations). The evo seems to have better specs over all, bigger screen, off screen buttons (positive), better screen, sexier more resilient built, and I could always use a custom launcher to get my customization on.

The main thing I think I'm missing with both phones are the quick widgets from CM7 - where you pull down the notification bar and there are some quick settings buttons. I really, really like and feel like I need that. Do either phones have that built in? I know the evo will last me longer and be the same price with upgrade. Any tips? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
The galaxy nexus has had cm9 for a long time. And most roms right now all have the toggles in the notification bar. So your good on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Hardware navigation buttons are not a positive. Have you seem the major ****-up of a job HTC did with em? A huge bar comes up with the menu key. Ya, HTC, you ****ed up.

Trust me. You don't want to be using a phone on an OS built to have on-screen buttons and doesn't have them. Get the Galaxy Nexus over the HTC or get the GSIII if you really need a good camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmmajor:
The HTC Evo LTE does not have a removable battery..that was my deal breaker :mad: ..What u gonna do when u run out of juice or forgot to charge your battery and your out and about??..I needs AN EXTRA BATTERY!!...just in case :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeytusa:
Galaxy Nexus is a great phone -- you won't regret getting it. Dev community is awesome for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Well actually, from all the reviews I've seen lately of the One X and S it isn't needed. The S4 is apparently great on battery and some reviewers are even getting 2 days out of it. I was honestly surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogerchew:
The stock ics rom does not have the quick settings in the notification bar. You will need a custom rom to get it, just fyi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Isn't it the exact opposite? Reading the one x forums here looks like people have overwhelmingly bad battery life. 2.5-3 hours screen time on a good day. Meanwhile the nexus gets 4.5 hours pretty easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patass:
I went with the nexus. Sprint gave me the upgrade and I'm paying 145 total
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Such ****!! Nothing against i just I tried sprint twice and they wont give me my upgrade early and I am eligible june 1st they said the earliest I can upgrade is may 18th

:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomrobbi:
They should let you upgrade early because of the contract buyout thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilkokonut:
Maybe the GSM gnex gets 4.5 but my late version gets barely over 3 on the extended battery with 3g on and on wifi all day. This is on aokp with glados kernal and display at 20%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
they wouldn't let me do that or pay a small fee to upgrade, i called customer care twice and went into the sprint store

Only benefit of waiting is that roms will all be here and wont have bugs by the time may 18th comes :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
You don't necessarily need a custom ROM, you can also just download the free app Widgetsoid from the market. Gives you a totally customizable notification toolbar. I do think you have to be rooted though, not sure on that. I'm running rooted stock ROM and have the notification toolbar with the settings I want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patass:
no problem rooting it, though i read it has a locked bootloader, which kind of blew my mind
