Really because besides color...my GN doesn't look like a copy of any other Samsung device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Scratches head. Still trying to figure out what resemblance my phone has to the gs2. Or gs3 for that matter.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
Similar as far as specs are concerned. The Galaxy phone sets the standard each year for top of line specs. When the Nexus is released 6 months later it's just the Galaxy flagship phone scaled down. There is nothing wrong with that but from a spec point there is never a surprise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
This is a fake GS3! Looks just like our Nexus though :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Well if I go similar as far as specs are concerned, I would have a whole basket of 'copy' phones. Very few innovate these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If by similar, you mean it is a black slab, then yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Tell me how the galaxy nexus is anything like a gs2. The galaxy nexus is the first released with a samoled 720p screen. It somewhat resembles the nexus s but with much better fit and finish. It has good Samsung memory but other than that it has an omap4 and a completely different look than the gs2. What is similar? Gs2 has a different CPU, gpu, screen, case design, SD slot, etc. What's similar? The galaxy nexus NOW is criticized for not having the most top shelf hardware but vs other android phones it was cutting edge for the most part. The omap4 it uses was the best at the time and one of the only pentaband phones. It had arguably the best screen, highest memory bandwidth, best HD encoder, etc. Despite having the powervr430, its clocked higher with double the memory bandwidth. Looks like gs3 is pulling the same trick with mali400 but breathed new life by being paired with a smaller nm process and higher clocks.

I'm not surprised at all that this thread ended up becoming about GSII and III.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
So which flagship galaxy phone was the GNex a scaled down version of back in November when I bought it? You still have yet to answer that. You are making no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The super duper version of nexus s?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
The GS II came out in April 2011. The Galaxy Nexus came out 7 months later, but did not bring anything new to the table from a hardware stand point except an HD screen. Some people may even say the Galaxy Nexus took a step backwards with no sd card, no 8MP camera and going with OMAP instead of Exynos. When the Nexus One came out it set the standard for hardware specs. Since Samsung took over the Nexus line their flagship Galaxy phone sets the bar for specs and when they release the Nexus phone 6 months later the hardware specs are equal or on par with the flagship Galaxy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
How exactly would they put a exynos in the Galaxy Nexus? It doesn't support LTE and it's not nearly as open/development friendly as the OMAP. Also, google chooses the SoC, not the manufacturer. OMAP is also the fastest media decoder of all the major SoCs. It was google's decision for the 5mp camera for the faster snapshots. It was google's decision for no SD card so that everything would be handled via MTP. Seems like if you want to blame someone, blame google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karmasyde:
As far as the hardware argument... correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the nexus announced in Feb then released in Dec? So I'm thinking that possibly hardware made quit a few leaps while phone was in development/production...random thought and could be wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Samsung is awesome but I prefer HTC. I'm going to buy the GN hopefully in may. the next nexus should have super amoled HD plus, exynos 5250, built by HTC with HTC camera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Htc cameras suck, even on some devices where the cam is actually acceptable, the good old crappy microphone issue is present, htc just doesn't know how to make a good microphone, whick makes video recording a not so plesent experience, not to mention that pics and videos looked washed up, on most htc devices.. in terms of camera, i think SE takes first place followed by samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Samsung will always have the top end amoled screen for themselves and only license our previous Gen amoled to other manufacturers, I.e. qHD pentile amoled (never see HD or amoled+ in a non Samsung right now).

Plus who cares about the sales revenue from making a nexus phone. The manufacturer who shoots to get the next nexus bid gets access to all the code for the next version of android 8 months before any other manufacturer, and they can use that advantage on their other upcoming phoned. Isn't ICS released to the sgs2 much quicker than HTC and others got their builds out, even in leaked form? Nexus involvement likely helps that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
Remember the issues with the power button in the N1? And the screen problem.... well with my nexus s and gnex I don't have any problem...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I wish Nokia would make the next Nexus. Yeah, I said it. Too bad Elop sold his soul to MSFT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I would love to see though a touch sensitive power button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Reading around again...noticing people talking about HTC making the next Nexus. I must say, HTC hasn't made good phones since the Evo/DINC/Nexus One/Desire generation. I really wouldn't be fine with them making one now. HTC lost their touch when they tried to change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I would like that too but that probably wont happen anytime soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not sure how reliable they'd be able to do that...

And you want this just so you don't have a power button that can break?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
that's exactly why lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Man ever since the nexus one power button thing I've always been paranoid about over using power buttons. On the nexus one I had track ball wake. On the galaxy nexus I have volume rocker wake.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Didn't think this was a "thing". Never had button problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Buttons are only designed to last the warranty period of at least 1 year. Past that, its a crapshoot.

So to think that they might wear out...go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Yes they were a lot of people with dead power buttons on nexus one. Mine died within 3 months.

This is one of many links regarding that matter.

Knowledge is power!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Really? I work with lots of buttons and I disagree. I've had these for a few years and never had an issue. I'm glad these buttons were built to last longer than a warranty!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I had the power issue on my old Mytouch 4g it sunk in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Lol. Looks more like sliders, keys and knobs. I don't see any rinky dinky toothpick size buttons. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Think about it. They would warranty equipment longer if it wasn't designed to wear out as quick.

Kind of a duh moment there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Lol. Somebody got duh'd.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Or maybe there's a business model called extended warranty?

With your logic every piece of hardware and appliance in my house should have broken buttons by now and it'll be ok.

Speaking of duh moments...yes those are sliders and knobs but between those there are buttons. Many of them of all shapes and sizes (some of them even light up too!). :eek:

Also you may find this handy:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pictures+of+hardware+buttons

And maybe the 'rinky dinky' part of the button is the root the issue. Anything that isn't built like crap should last the suggested life cycle of the product. We've all had plenty of phones without buttons breaking in 3 months, it's not rocket science.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
Samsung did not support the Galaxy Nexus well; I'm surprised google went back to them again. The Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note making better sales than the Galaxy Nexus. They have better support and accessories are avaliable to the SII and Note. In my opinion, they should let Motorola make the nexus, since google bought Motorola Mobility. The next Nexus should have one software build, a world phone; I mean its a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
1. The Galaxy Nexus did not have HUGE marketing campaigns.

2. The Galaxy Nexus was never intended to sell well.

3. Google only bought Motorola for patents and has already said it doesn't plan on changing anything at Motorola.

4. If Google wants to make one phone, one world phone at that, it's going to cost them alot more and carrier support will be next to none making the device a monetary loss for Google. Now I'm not saying Google can't afford it, but you have to remember Google is still a business and they still want to make money so they aren't going to just start releasing non-profitable phones because some developer community is shaking their wallets at them. Its going to take the average consumers interest (which they have right now, but not much of) to encourage them to make such a huge change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
Having a nexus from Motorola is another way to avoid lawsuits. Since you said it will cost them alot of money to make a world phone, I'm starting to wonder how much apple spent on the 4s? Also why my local Samsung retailer sells a Galaxy Nexus if doesn't want it to be sold well?! There is a big potential in the Nexus phones. Just need more support from google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cHarOn99:
lol there is just one real nexus and thats the gsm version, if the mobile operators in usa and canada i think wouldn't use that dumb cdma then there wouldn't be a issue at all and only one device for the world would exist and thats the gsm version, why do you think Google started to sell the GSM Version now also over there own Playstore, because they are also not happy with the ****ed down devices with cdma.

So even if Motorolla will create the next Nexus then it will be the same as it is with the Nexus from Samsung now, they will also need to build different version for different markets, and it will be the same again, the GSM version would be again the only real fully support AOSP version, because the only issue here is cdma.

Anyway i would love if the next Nexus will be again from Samsung, but i also don't have an issue if it comes from Motorolla or Sony :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Really? Explain all the GSM variants and how they factor into your theory of GSM being the only real Nexus. :rolleyes:

All this elitist attitude crap with GSM needs to stop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Exactly, that mindset is tiresome.

Personally, it's hard to put much weight in any of these online mobile media websites. They act like lemmings, all posting the same rumor of a rumor as if that substantiates anything. Someone ought to create a website to track credibility of past news stories.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Xda.

teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cHarOn99:
what different GSM versions are not supported by aosp? maybe I am wrong here? As far as I know at the beginning there was only one GSM version for worldwide use, then the Verizon lte version for USA (operator phone), the documo (operator phone) and I think the Canadian version again because of radio (operator phone)

Now they came out with the Sprint Version again a Operator phone, and Google started to sell the GSM version in the play store, were the only difference compared to International GSM is that it has Google Wallet for usa, hardware and software is same like international GSM build.

But if I am wrong then sorry and tell me the truth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks Samsung and Verizon, but no thanks. The debacle that is the current Galaxy Nexus has taught me a very frustrating lesson not to buy another "flagship" phone that requires updates to work properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Every single yakjuxx variant is not supported by AOSP. There are many. You can't talk about continuity when there isn't any, even in the GSM realm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Welcome to every device out there.

I would love to see HTC build a new nexus. metal/high quality casing, removable battery and some good hardware and I'm sold :)

I love my GN but I really like HTC's build quality more...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
A sad reality, but you are correct. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
Much less so on iPhone though. It seems to plague Android because instead of a polishing the OS so much effort goes into porting and just getting all of the darned things to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's the tradeoff. iOS intentionally gimps features until they're pretty much polished as best as they can be (Siri being a serious exception). You take the limited feature set in order to get better stability and "it just works" factor.

A lot of the issue with Android is that people buy a phone not for what it ships with but with an expectation that it will be updated. It leads to a lot of disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
I read a few weeks back that 80% of all app crashes were on iPhones, so where exactly would the "it just works" factor be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBustCh3rries:
I'm just happy (hopeful) that Motorola won't be making it... When Google Purchased it all I could imagine was a nexus with that dumb MOTO UI ontop of it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
My guess is that iOS doesn't advertise the crash whereas android announces them in the form of a force close dialog.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm talking about the core OS features, not the iOS app developers.

But yes that is very true that iOS apps are very crashy. The difference is how it handles crashes. Apps crash very "gracefully" on iOS (simply close w/ no stutter or dialogue). I've seen it first hand though, the apps are not any more stable (in many cases less stable) than their Android counterparts. Its all about perception though. iPhones are perceived to be so clean and work properly, but I regularly see people double-tapping the home button to force-quit apps that misbehave, almost as much as I see people on Android using task killers to try and manage apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diSke:
You do know that "Nexus" phones are vanilla, don't you? Stock android without any sort of UI running on top... So whether it's made by htc, motorola, samsung, sony... It'll always be stock android running on the Nexus phones!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Have the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S had TouchWiz? Did the Nexus One have Sense? Just because Moto may have made it doesn't mean that it'd have blur. A Nexus has stock Android on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brar.arsh:
So when is the expected date for jelly bean and nexus????

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I think as time goes on, the complexity of building a Nexus device with a pure Android experience has increased. I think that is why we will probably see Google stick with Samsung. It allows them to push out a new device much quicker than switching to HTC or some other company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
I just hope they stick with 4.6". it's the perfect size. any bigger and i doubt most people would comfortably use it with one hand
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLarner:
I recently got my new Archie 101 G9, and want to download some apps/widgets and games, what apps do you guys suggest to get?

I'm not rooted at the moment but I don't mind paying for apps if their worth paying for.

So.... what's the best apps, worth getting apps and needed apps???
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psiman24:
Depends what you want to do on your tablet but here's a few essentials but you will need root for some of them: Setcpu (for stability), Titanium Backup (for backing up), Flash player, GO Launcher HD (for better home screens/folders) & Kingsoft Office (free but others are available).

Just look through the Google Play app list to see if there's anything else that you may use.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BiG K:
I am in the same boat, however most of the apps are coded for phones....not tablets, which is very annoying!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psiman24:
try going for the HD versions as they are for high end phones and tablets specifically.
