Don't hold your breath expecting SDcard support. Google doesn't want SDcards and doesn't want partitions or UMS. We're going to see 1 partition + MTP from here on out. Its a more elegant solution and its the direction Google wants Android to go. I for one am

completely

fine with this, and prefer it to the old implementation.

Definitely agree. The Nexus has never really been about the hardware (specs or design wise). They put together hardware as a great carrying device for the new software version. The Nexus works great because it was designed holistically for the best possible experience. The black slab Galaxy Nexus just gets out of the way and lets you use the device. We need good base software and good apps that run on that software.

A little philosophical, but I think its true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrHassell:
Cheaper screen replacements, would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
I agree, the Nexus phones are about software #1...cool design #2...hardware #3.

I would like to see Android 5.0 improve existing stock apps. The default non gmail e-mail app blows. My brother just got the Nexus, LOVES the phone, but he is coming from two previous HTC phones running Sense, he loved the Sense e-mail client...contact app...etc...they did have some better features, he says the stock e-mail client just blows compared to Sense e-mail.

T-9 dialer, is not a default ICS thing, you need a ROM to get features that should be stock. T-9 should be standard on the Galaxy Nexus, just a basic simple feature that shouldn't be left out.

I am a big fan of the stock News & Weather Genie widget, but was shocked Google did absolutely nothing to it for 4.0 ICS. It is the same as from the Nexus-One, I would like a fresh new design, as well as more options. Heck it still shows the sun icon even if it's 12:00am :rolleyes: come on Google.

Or Notification toggle widgets, they are in every new Sense and Touchwizz phone, why didn't Google make that a stock feature on the Galaxy nexus ? I know they never had it before, but they can learn what are cool must have features and incorporate those into the the Nexus.

For Starters..Chrome will be the default browser and it will be Quad Core for sure.

Google will probably implement something to compete better with Siri.

I think the big thing for Jelly Bean would be implementing Wireless Display on the device. When you think about it the only thing iPhone has built that Android does not his Airplay, so I think Android will release soe sort of DLNA mirroring service that runs over the WiDi. Not to mention all of its Home automation gadgets it teased us with last year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
I think the biggest deal on the Nexus-Four will be "Majel" or whatever it will be called. Google's answer to "Siri" they described it like the computer woman's voice from Star Trek The Next Gen, they would say" computer, please pull up this" and bam it does exactly what you asked.

One of the Google developers mentioned this last year, and said it would be a major feature in the next big Android release, and be way more useful and better than "Siri", saying the keyboard will not be needed nearly as much anymore.

Other than that, I would just like to see a next gen technology screen on the Nexus-Four, something beyond the Pentile 720p, maybe Samsung will have the + version ready for the next Nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
We all know everything in Jelly Bean is going to be taken from Sense + Touchwiz (S-Stay, "ImageSense" ) just without the fancy marketing terms. Just like ICS. I'm actually hoping for that now too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doctahjeph:
My hope is the Google is looking into Android Desktop much like Ubuntu for Android. Undocked that phone acts like a normal smart phone. Dock it to a monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it goes into Desktop mode. This is the future. People will be taking their desktops everywhere with them. It would making working from home a lot easier. However for it to work properly probably need a bump in ram. Probably around 2 gigs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
More polished? Granted its not as fluid as the phone who we do not speak its name....but considering the features and options it has it is a really smooth OS...ICS that is

I would love for Google to not make the next nexus exclusive with any carriers. Release to all carriers on releasing day and I bet the will see some good profit margins then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
This

Would love from day one, the new Nexus available unlocked for $399 at launch on the Google Market store. Screw exclusive rights to one carrier first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
I want Google to implement a video/media out via wifi so we can switch from watching videos on the phone to the pc or TV with something more polished than vlc (in its current state with phone to pc stream) as a client end.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I honestly feel that Google needs to optimize ICS performance a lot more. We are on 4.0.4 and things still don't feel as fast as they could be.. but I'm thinking the GPU is the main contributor to this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Yes, the exclusive releases of Nexus devices prevent it from ever being mainstream. When it takes other carriers 6 months to get a Nexus device, people have already forgotten it. This is one thing Google needs to take from Apple's playbook. My dream scenario would be for Google to actually be able to release updates to all Nexus devices at once. The current release cycle is way to confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well either Verizon and Sprint (well, pretty much Qualcomm) need to start playing ball with Google on their closed-source CDMA network drivers, or Google will have to start holding back the GSM updates to roll out at the same time as the CDMA ones. Those are the only 2 ways that you'll see the updates come out for everyone at once.

Even if Google does get better access to the CDMA parts, they won't be able to publish them to AOSP. So at best we'll get faster OTAs and still not have full sources for the CDMA models.

I just hope that Google sells the unlocked GSM model via Google Play right off the bat this time. It seems like they've "learned their lesson" dealing with Verizon on the GNex, and they're ready to make it happen on their own for Jellybean. At least then you'll know if you buy from Google you can take it anywhere and always get your updates w/o worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowglyder:
Should've posted this here... I want the full Google experience:

Google fiber rolled out to major cities as network backbone for Nexus flagship devices. Pentaband still present for use on GSM networks with 100 mins and 100mb per month for GSM roaming included. Google voice and SIP used for voice on fiber network.

More realistically:

-16gb storage is fine, but Google experience phones are also granted 20gb on Google Drive.

-Nexus available on Play Store within 2 weeks of announcement. No carrier lock. Same $399 price.

-Super Amoled+ HD

-better GPU

-Wireless charging or at least car and desk docks with functional 3-pin at launch

-Dual core, or quad core with Ubuntu for Android

-Application settings and data auto backed up

and restored using Google Drive (especially game data)

-Air play like functionality

-Better voice control

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDavi:
More storage I would be fine with 32bg I also like the idea of the desktop with Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Actually, you're wrong. If Nexus devices weren't carrier locked alot of sales would be lost. It would be a lesser known phone and people would NOT feel safe buying a phone directly from Google, let alone at full price. Carrier subsidations are what REALLY help phone sales too. I see what you mean though, it'd be nice, but alot of us like CDMA carriers. Verizon has alot of coverage in the US, un-matched by any other carrier. If GSM had the kind of support in the US that it has in Europe, I'd jump on the bandwagon, but AT&T and T-Mobile are slightly behind the curve.

They pretty much do have a ton of desktop like features connected to the Chrome browser. Plus I can see a problem with updating software :p

Its not over yet.....next is SAMOLED Plus HD and/or SLCD-2 HD, better CPUs, improved batteries, image-processing CPUs (like in One S/X), GLONASS GPS support, impact resistant body, and finally Gorilla Glass thats not just marketing BS but the one that will actually WORK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
This nexus was a huge step up. You all may not remember but the nexus one was matched hardware wise very quickly. Its not nearly as nice a package as this one overall IMO. Nexus s was innovative for its shape and a few other features but not a hardware Juggernaut. Seems its claim to fame was getting samsung hardware in there with a front facing camera and a curved screen.

This nexus has some amazing qualities. Looks awesome with the extended battery and cover. The material of the case is ten times harder to scratch than previous versions, and with extended battery, the phone finally gets over 5 hour screen time. Most I've gotten was 7 hours with my my touch 4g.

For the next one I pray it keeps the textured surface... going back to glossy would be a huge step back. Also, please wedge a 2500-3000mah battery in the thing and perhaps a nice ips LCD2 for even more battery life. This is the area most android phones still need work.

If they continue with the no sdcard thing, they need to up storage to 32gig with the next one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
Your storage is only 16? Mine on Sprint and i hear Verizon is 32.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
16gb is not enough. Why give me a phone with a bad ass 720p display that will play HD content but only give me enough storage for 1 or 2 HD movies?

I very much like the idea of making my phone my work computer replacement. I already use it a lot for work stuff. If I could come to work and plug it in to docking station where it functioned more or less like my Linux Laptop does, I could go to work with out having to lug around a lot of extra stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
GSM only gets 16gb.

It's a little tight in my opinion, 32gb should've been an option at least if not standard. I'm glad I managed to get Google Music to work, saves some space since I've been able to narrow down my nexus music sync list even more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Lol cdma wins again!

We also have unlimited data here at sprint and unlimited roaming! :p

I dont think ips screens are good for us: too much risk of light bleed.

I dont know what the hardware of the next nexus will be, pretty sure i want a removable battery. i do believe when ICS is finished or near completion, we will have a great phone. ICS is a big leap over GB.

I've now had two OTA update notifications but both have failed.

The update downloads and then when the phone restarts it shows the robot with a red triangle, I have to pull the battery and once the phone restarts the update hasn't been applied.

Is this because I'm rooted or is there something else going wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Do you have the stock recovery installed? If not, that is what is causing the problem. Have a read of this thread for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekni:
Yeah that must be it. I've tried using the method in the post but I get an assert error. I think it's because I've updated system apps. Am I right in thinking I need to modify the build.prop in the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No. You need to replace the files you updated with the stock ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekni:
Ah. Okay. Can you point me in the direction of the best way to do that? Or is it just a case of finding all the apks and replacing the updated ones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What build version are you currently on, and how many files are you looking for? If it's not too many, I'll extract them for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekni:
Currently I'm on ICL53F. The one that stops the update is Books but then there could be more... Would disabling CWM be an option as I've just got an OTA notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, that wouldn't be an option. The update will still fail. For any update to work, all the original files need to be present in /system. You will have to do this in an iterative process. Replace one file, try the update again, replace the next file giving you an error, try the update again, ...

It may be easier to just flash a fresh full image. (You may even be able to keep your data if you do not flash the userdata.img file -- only flash the boot.img and the system.img files from the IMM76I factory image.

I've attached the BooksTablet .apk and .odex files for you.

Lesson to be learned: back up the stock files to your computer if you plan on changing them.

Remember the TF-300 is not the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201. It has a much lower spec. display and processor.
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
Processor wise there isn't much difference, from what I can see from the reviews out there. The display is the biggest downgrade, but me coming from the NC's display I'm ok with it. The battery is smaller, supposedly it last 10hrs of standard use, I get about 5.5 to 6.5 of standard use on my NC (with a lot of battery saving tweaks). And it doesn't have flash, but I didn't buy a tablet to take pictures :). The GPS and Wifi signals are stronger than the prime. Finally its a lot cheaper than the prime.

Bottom line it looks (haven't used it yet) like a great budget tablet, having Tegra 3 and all.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...hing-standing-in-the-way-now-is-your-carrier/

http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-posts-ics-updates-for-tons-of-canadian-devices-20120430/

Samsung Canada has finished porting Ice Cream Sandwich to a whole bunch of devices, which in Samsung press release parlance means they are "eligible" for an upgrade. Does that mean you can hit that "update" button today and start downloading ICS? Well, that's complicated.

First though, the list of devices:

GALAXY S II

GALAXY S II LTE

GALAXY S II LTE HD

GALAXY S II X

GALAXY Note

GALAXY Tab 7.0

GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus

GALAXY Tab 8.9

GALAXY Tab 10.1

Now, for the caveats: Sammy says "The upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter." and "The availability of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer." So basically Samsung is saying "We are done, it's up to your carrier." So after the carriers get done testing, poking, and installing bloatware, you'll get your upgrade.

This should be good news for the aforementioned Galaxy owners in other regions too. The software for different regions is about 90% compatible, so your Ice Cream Sandwich updates should be well on their way, too.

The press release isn't exactly clear on exactly who, in Canada, gets Ice Cream Sandwich today and who has to wait. So a question to all our Canadian commenters: What Galaxy device do you have, what carrier are you on, and happens when you mash that update button? Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:

then i went for coffee.. & when i checked the 'about' nfo, it still showed android 2.3.4 gingerbread. :( & was prompted to wait for 7hrs till i can check it again.

International Galaxy S 2 devices updated ages ago. International Galaxy Note updating from today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] rovex:
Yes i would say the update should be in a few weeks. If anything the Note is the most complicated to update due to its unique software, but its also very popular hence the urgency of the update.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I more than once quoted a link from them (Samsung) saying they would focus on their two flagship devices first (GSII and Note) and then the tablets. It makes sense they delayed the updates because the Galaxy Tab 2 will be released next week in the US. You know, they don't want an update stealing thunder from their recently (or about to as of now) released tablet. I think we will see news about new ICS firmwares next month.

And you know this how? Without facts, this statement is useless bro. One thing I do know is the bricking only happened to a few people. Far less then people who didn't have issues. Just like entropy said, without reproducing it would be hard to figure out. But either way. Leaks are just that. Leaks. They are pretty much worthless considering everything else we already have.
