Whoops, I got the "super" and "+" qualifiers mixed up. I did mean to say Super AMOLED, I believe that currently only the SGSII and the Droid Charge use SAMOLED+ screens.

For anyone wondering what he's talking about, if a Samsung AMOLED has a + at the end of it, that means it uses a traditional RGB stripe subpixel pattern. This is as opposed to an AMOLED without the +, which has thusfar meant that it uses a "PenTile" matrix (RGBG or RGBW, usually the former in Samsung's case). "Super" AMOLED just means its the second generation of AMOLED tech, basically.

Don't let the Pentile thing scare you from the GNex though. Trust me, I used to be first in line in the Pentile hater camp, but the resolution/DPI is sufficiently high enough to virtually eliminate most ALL of the qualms people have with pentile displays. The screen is bright, vivid, and sharp. No bug screen effect.

HI guys

im new to the galaxy, been using the g2x for a while. i read all the guides here and on another forum and i still need some help. i want to root my phone, its with a stock rom:

2.3.3

baseband: I9000JHJV9

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000JHJVG-CL788779

se.infra@SEI-45#2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.JHJVG

i know i need to replace the kernel with a modified one. could not find anything suitable since the build and baseband are too new (HJV9!?)

will this kernel do?

CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
That should do it. In case anything goes wrong always have a stock rom on your PC and remember to read on how to flash with Odin (Samsung tool to flash roms and kernel's)

Once u start flashing there is no turning back...it's that much fun

When I worked on Purumod everything was fine except connection to the Internet. When I tried to activate "Use packet data"(Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Use packet data) it turned off by itself. What can it be?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver_Johnes:
You should add APN settings compatible with your service provider. As there is no APN settings at all in Purumod, so Data or mms connection cannot be established. А ты из России. Ну тогда погугли APN мегафон android, там где-то на форуме мегафона настройки выкладывали.

you can use this method to have complete CWM without rooting so you should be able to flash a flashable zip file.

follow it's steps, just dont flash super user. instead of it flash your theme.

even more you can root with this method, without changing custom binary counter. nad unroot if you want, and nobody will notice. It's super easy.

[on AndroidRevolution HD 6.3.3 - Sensation XE]

EDIT: I can't find all the features you say in the OP..burst shot, smart shot..are there only on Sense 4.0 ?

Nice gotta try this, been waiting for. How's the Zero Shutter Lag for this mod?

Any other mirror to download?

we obviously downloaded the alpha version, he took it down.

i hope he fixes it soon, because i forgot to backup my old camera :D
[HTC Sensation] Sim0cYz:
lol, me too :D pls Steve0007 can you provide original camera files? Or a fix for this one:) seems promising ;)
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
Just to confirm Steve, understand that this is first version. The GB base Amaze Cam requires Zero Shutter Lag based on the Kernel, does this one also requires it?.

Lets hope this will fully improve in the coming days. Imho Amaze Cam is better than stock camera. ;)

Yesterday i used mobile odin pro to flash el26cwm.. in recovery i am on cm9a3 and flashed the fd24 aosp kernel and fd24 modem then rebooted with no issues.. now it wont detect my device.. i was going to flash the black infinitum theme.. no change to dpi since ive been on a3.. pretty much stock with the reloaded ics mod.. this is the first time its done this on all roms ive tried.. made sure i had latest mobile odin pro, reinstalled it, tried clearing app data and still a no go.. any ideas or anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
Do you still have a file named eu.chainfire.mobileodin.flashkernel.d710 in root on your sd card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yes.. its at /mmt/sdcard.. so is a chainfire text file for mobile odin.. also what i noticed was roam control, titanium backup etc appears that my phone somehow lost root : -/.. roa control gives error code 11 is your phone rooted? And tb says to check for busybox and my phone isnt rooted.. also su will load but im assuming my busybox or root is gone somehow..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wabem:
It looks like you may have used the AOKP fd24 kernel which breaks root :\. I would try reflashing the el26cwm (with odin on your computer), booting into recovery and reflashing a3. There is a version of darch's fd24 kernel floating around some where that doesn't break root, but i've heard it may have other issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol thanks.. i reember seeing darchs.. i think i asoed if there was a difference in that and the aosp but didnt remmber seeing an aswer.. its all good.. just cant flash my theme then until tonight lol. Works a pain! I will odin el26 when i get home and reflash cm9a3 with the previous aosp kernel which didnt break root.. thanks for the answer!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejlmd:
A couple of days ago I also lost root after flashing TCP's AOSP FD 24 kernel. I solved it by using ODIN (pda slot) on my PC to flash darchstar's FD24 kernel. Root was regained and my CM9 a3 otherwise still running smoothly.

See this is what I have been wondering... have you had any issues so far? I am an iPhone convert as well but I went for the DROID RAZR on verizon and I love it... I was considering trying to get a GN but Im hesitant
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
There are a lot of threads and posts on defective units with screen issues to what you describe. There is a very likely chance you simply had a defective unit.

When you get the new one and compare, post again. I'm curious. Mine should be in today and I'm worried I'd get one with the screen issues as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I understand your frustrations. However, there are quite a few users on here coming from an iphone 4s who feel the GNex was a step-up in what Android can offer vs iOS. The Nexus series is aimed at development as well, so take that in to regard while Apple's Iphone is aimed at every consumer in the world wanting a general smartphone.

Android blows iOS out of the water in terms of customization and powerfulness because of it's open-source nature - the sky is the limit here.

To tell people that the GNex will be a let-down coming from an iphone 4 is just your opinion and that's all it is. You failed to mention some of the intuitiveness of both platforms. Where's the back button on iOS? On android it's the SAME spot for EVERY app. How easy is it to share content on iOS? On android, you can literally share ANYTHING easily. I think the issue with your mini-review here is that you've been way too accustomed to iOS, so everything now seems inferior to you. I myself have used an iPhone to begin with and then switched to Android later on and will never go back.

Does the iphone support USB on the go? HDMI out? Wifi Direct? NFC? Launcher widgets w/ live data? NOPE!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
I have had 3 Galaxy nexus units and two of them had horrible screens with banding and other scratchy textures on the screen (almost like a creased newspaper at low brightness). Luckily, the one I kept has a perfect screen. It has zero banding and perfect uniformity even at 0% brightness. It also doesn't have any tint/hue issues. The other two units had bluish/purpleish whites as the brightness decreased, this one stays pure white.

Basically, they are not all as bad as you describe. But in my personal experience (2 out of 3), most units have pretty crappy screens. This can be attributed to Samsung's quality control, or lack thereof. I don't think the flagship Google phone should go out with any of display the issues you describe, but apparently they do. Personally, I wouldn't settle for it (and didn't). Exchange your phone if you can because there are units out there with perfect screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vv13:
I've only had the phone very briefly, but so far no other issues other than what was stated about the screen.

No major os lag, random shut offs, screen retention, pop noises or anything like that.

The phone does heat up though a bit more than the ip4, and it can be easily felt through the cheap cover. Nothing else really.

Overall the gnex is fine, just my expectations of the screen were set pretty high considering so many touted the display of the phone as one of its strongpoints.

It does not help that i came from the ip4.

Still a fully loaded phone with all specs premium. Just not bleeding edge tech or fancy materials. All for $400 no contract is fair.

Unless you're the cultish type that wants a pure android experience need ics or a google phone whatever, there really is no reason I see to leave the razr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vv13:
Yes I definitely will, but after reading up on pentile amoled tech, a lot of these issues mentioned are traits of the technology. I hope on the next phone they are not as severe though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vv13:
I think you have misinterpreted my let down comment as its only in reference to the screens and not the gnex vs ip4 as a whole.

And have become a bit overly defensive for reasons I'm not sure why.

Regardless, you are right about everything only being a person's opinion.

Other than that we are on the same plane.

I am not for apple's dumbed down os. I am also against them making everything proprietary and putting things on lockdown.

The ip4 is actually my only apple owned product since I just loved the design too much.

As you can see, my initial post says I am thrilled to root and and can't wait to play with what android has to offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
This person said it correct. If your comming from ios, you should get another phone thats aimed at every day consumers, this phone was made for ppl who want to take control and like he said the sky is the limit with android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vv13:
Thats good news.

Would you mind sharing the specifics of your phones build and origin etc..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vv13:
You are right if the person was content with ios as a whole.

That from my first post should hint to you what I am aiming for.

Remember I've only had this phone a few days and have not yet had the chance to break the surface, hence this thread being only a 1st impression, Not a full fledged review
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
Return your unit. I already played with 4 GNexus including mine and none have this issues, and the viewing angles are great. The screen is awesome. My friend changed the iPhone 4 for a GNexus and love the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
Sure, it is a Jan 2012 build, does not say Made in xxx anywhere on it, just says made by Samsung (someone said that means Korea, but I'm not sure). The other ones I had both said Made in China. I got mine new from Amazon.com (came from a seller named abe-123, order fulfilled by Amazon). It had 4.0.2 build on it (not sure if YAKJU or not, I flashed latest image as soon as I got it). Let me know if you want to know anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianisme:
I applaud the OP for his opinion from a neutral standpoint. Welcome to the family. I've had my Nexus since late December and was one of the 'lucky' ones that got a near perfect screen on the first go. Like others have said, there is a very broad spectrum ranging from near perfect to absolutely terrible.

I recommend going over this thread if you haven't already when your new unit arrives:

Jesus. No need to be so defensive. Android is not your girlfriend. Everything he said is true and they are issues Google needs to work out if they want Android to grow as a platform. While smoothness has increased since gingerbread, the fact of the matter is it is still a step behind when it comes to smoothness.

And lets get dispelled that notion that gnex flaws can be disregarded because it is a development phone. Yes, the gnex is intended to be the test bed for Android software. But that doesn't mean that Google doesn't intend to sell every last phone they have to the end user or that they didn't design it with the intent for the majority of users to use the phone like the average consumer.

Beats Audio is technically an equalizer setting.

I honestly wish I could understand the people who say that the build quality is lacking. My Nexus is as hard as a rock, everywhere. Just because it's light and plastic doesn't mean anything. I hate holding iPhones because I feel like it's going to shatter if it touches anything too hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Also its kernel related. If the kernel isn't compiled with the right components then flashing beats audio is pointless. Xloud would do the trick though

I just got a replacement unit in from Verizon, and immediately called them to let them know it was unacceptable.

My thoughts coming from an iPhone 4:

The ICS interface, in my opinion, is more intuitive and easier to use than iOS. This really surprises me since I love OSX and for a while I loved iOS. Whereas OSX has innovated however, iOS really hasn't changed much recently. iOS feels like an interface that is being stubborn and unwilling to innovate. iOS had such a great start but is, as of now, stagnating. Heres to hoping iOS 6.0 turns the tides!

Display is brighter and is more colorful, but appears more grainy and is funky about turning blue if you look at it from the side. This actually doesn't bother me very much. It still looks like a higher resolution and is less grainy than an iPad2 or iPhone 3GS despite being a pentile display. But you can totally notice its not a retina display. I really don't care though since I like it more than my iPad 2 because the colors are so bright.

The speed is fantastic. This is more than just because of the processor. Remember how much fun Gmail was to use when it first came out, because it was so fast? Or every other web based Google product, such as google chrome? ICS is finally feeling like a true Google product, in that it is freakin' optimized to the 9th degree. It's well made.

I'm happy with the purchase.

IPhone is the best, you should just use it on edge and return your gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G1-8701:
ok now i have been with android since the G1, i've had the Gnex since January and love it, i recently bought my first iphone about 2 weeks ago(iphone 4s) and i love it too, the iphone has plenty of tweaks and is a very dependable phone just like my Gnex. I don't pick sides as far as Android vs iOS cause they're both great, yea android has more tweaks than iOS, but iOS(IMO) is more stable than android, both have their pros and cons within each system. Most people would say how the iphone is lacking customization, and i believed it until i got an iphone, the 4s has tons of tweaks(no it doesn't have widgets, i hardly ever use them on my nexus or any of my android devices though), most people don't even give phones a chance before passing judgement, i know for a fact that most of the people that throw soooo much dirt on iOS never owned an iphone, it doesn't make sense........but from my experience with both devices running the latest software, i would recommend both, their both great phones with tons of customization and great hardware......although if your the type that loves playing games on their phone i would suggest the iphone 4s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
The op has it spot on, pretty much. But his assesment of the screen is worrying. The only issue i've had with mine oht of the box was a slight yellowish tint that was fixed with francos kernel. Viewing angles are nearly perfect, so are colours and i can "kinda" see the pixels only if i stick my nose against the screen (very crisp in actual, normal use). The discrepancies between my description and op's is way too big to be attributed to opinion alone, which leads me to believe he has a faulty unit. I strongly reccomend exchanging it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Lol a lot of childish comments in this thread, whoever mentioned beats audio, well if u're hurting so much for not having it, y didn't u buy an htc instead of gnex, no one promised u beats when u bought the gnex..

secondly, the blueish display issues where due to autobrightness not reacting correctly in low light conditions, and as of 4.0.4 it has been greatly improved, although the fact stays that the pentile matrix is not the happiest solution, especially for a 4.6" display. View angle is more than great, so no comments on that.

As for a lil comprison with ip4, iOS is definitely more stable and better polished than android, and this is a fact, but the customization options on android and community support just can't be compared to any other, when i see development still being done for the nexus one, u can imagine how long it will also be done on the gnex, even after google decides to pull the plug off on it. People who like the looks and feel of iOS can enjoy their iphones, there is no need for any comparisons and iOS vs Android talks, it's a matter of taste, although i already gave iOS it's credits above (stability and speed), but i personally could never use an iphone due to it's small display,ugly shape, extremely ugly UI (that's my personal opinion), so i choose android and try to get the best stability out of it. As a final thought, after coming from an htc and samsung devices, i'm very satisfied with my gnex, updates have made a lot of things better, and hopefully more things are still to come in future updates. Ics is a relatively new version, and it has still not been polished yet, so if u're a fan of apple's policy "never release a device or OS version untill it's 100% polished " then maybe android (in general) and gnex (in particular) are not the best choices for u. It's time people stop comparing those two worlds, whatever device or OS makes u happier u should stick to it, it's a matter of taste, and tastes differ from one individual to another. peace out.
