[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul:
I love Go Launcher EX, and all it's widgets, but is laggy on the S3.

Although I heard the latest version is slow on any device.

So I'll stick to Touchwiz until lag in Go EX get's solved.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
What?? Laggy?? :D I´m using it since the first day and it is in NO WAY laggy at all! How was it configured when you used it?

Guys, just try it out again. For me, it is by far the fastest thing I experienced on the S3

This is my configuration:

EDIT: And don´t forget to use an ICS theme (best one IMAO):) )

Guy I'm think I'll buy this tablet for 169€ - 222$ but I need your opinion

can I root it? can I unlock the bootloader and do overclock?

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerosuit Connor:
Yeah, it can be rooted. Most yuandao tablets don't have locked bootloaders and overclocking could be achieved as long as you root :)

I have a G-tab that I would like to start modding, however I have lost the cable that connects it to the computer...does anyone know of a site that I can buy another cable from? Or can I just put everything on the mini SD card and mod from that?

Thanks for your response...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
I have a nexus S looking to upgrade and I just cant make up my mind between galaxy S2 and galaxy nexus. I was waiting for S3 but it's nothing spectacular and I'll rather save money by getting a cheaper phone.

I obviously love the google experience and really glad how well google supported the nexus S, they got ICS running so well on it with 4.0.4. No other android OEM supports their year old phones like that. And I am not happy at all with how samsung treated the original galaxy S and galaxy S plus.

However I am just not sure about the hardware of the GN. The screen is touted as it's major feature but then I come across this,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394358

How is that supposed to be the "best" screen? And then many tests have confirmed that the nexus has an extremely dim display compared to S2 and other amoled screens. How then is it the best display? Seems like it's just pixel density where it wins among amoled screens.

The other thing which worries me is the GPU and resolution combination. One of the only things my nexus S has really started struggling with is gaming, I surely want my next phone to be really good at it. But is the nexus very good at it with the old GPU but really high resolution?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rElZzjJk3yM

Why do I see slight lag in there? Can the galaxy nexus not run temple run at stutter free 60FPS? :confused:

Lastly I have heard the loudspeaker is on the quieter side? Another strange thing for a samsung phone, how much worse is it than nexus S?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jay slasher:
Updates directly from Google, better screen, NFC, Next official Google Rom very likely supported. SGSIII just announced, why get an S2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
Root it and it's the best device on earth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
If you're looking for a reason to get the Galaxy Nexus and posting here you'll just get biased post. If you want it, just get the phone. Sitting there and being obsessed trying to justify your purchase won't get you anywhere, I had this obsession for like 1 week nonstop and gave in. I came from a Nexus S too.

Just do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ap3604:
Not sure whether or not to get it?

Go to a Verizon store and check it out for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I say if you aren't sure, then don't get it. Some we have a tendency to look for faults and more faults because of what we read. If you really want it on the other hand, go get it. The negative reviews you see at times will be brushed away because you like the phone you have. There isn't a perfect phone. What makes it perfect is the smile on your face every time you use it. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Just get it.

Don't like it. Return it.

Thing is, you'll love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
I'm coming from a gs2 from tmobile and believe me the galaxy nexus is very nice. The gs2 development is slow and the phone is a bit laggy vs the GN. I say get it. Don't even bother with touchwiz and get pure Google's ics and way better development and faster updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
I am using NS and my 1st GNex just came.

For real I don't see a better screen and a faster phone..

comparing both using stock lastest 4.0.4 rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why do we need to convince you? What is in it for us?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zolah:
Go to the store and play with one and see what you think.

If your after a cheaper phone than the SGS 3 i personally would say get the Gnex over SGS 2 ( i came from an sgs i9000 but my buddy has an s2 ) but its up to you.

Only you can say what you like best.

It depends how you use your phone and how much you flash it etc.

If your just a general user or a "hardcore" user.

They are both pretty much identical apart from the TW of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Easy; Don't think, just do it.

Sent from a Nexus is our Galaxy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltdown07:
I also came from a Nexus S (just within the past 2 weeks actually), but was disappointed in the ICS experience on my Nexus S. I found it to be fairly laggy, especially with multiple apps open.

ICS on the Galaxy Nexus is a much better experience. The speaker volume on the Galaxy Nexus isnt as strong as the Nexus S, but its fine for normal use from what I've found. My screen has been just perfect too.

My recommendation is get the Galaxy Nexus if you are interested. I dont think you'll regret it. Its all the good stuff about the Nexus S plus better battery life and a better screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
If you have a Nexus S, wait it out. See what Google has in store for Android and the Nexus program. Then invest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kudoboi:
honestly coming from a gnexus user.. i would say go for S3.. gnexus has a weak battery imo and isnt really that smooth( even after installing ROMs etc) compared to my older htc desire hd which is pretty stupid. the speaker is pretty soft but volume+ should fix it. if u hate touchwiz that much just flash a vanilla ICS rom on S3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Nexus S already received the ota. There's nothing to really wait for it. $400 is a really good price for a non contract phone

Yeah. 2006 all over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Lol mine isn't rooted and is still awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
lol my nexus S isnt rooted either and its way better than iphone 4. There is no way I am getting ianything. If android can game well then good otherwise I dont care how good the iphone can game.

But it does seem like the galaxy nexus isnt the ideal android phone for gaming from the responses. I thought so, I am gonna get the galaxy S2 thanks everyone. It's too bad I will have to live with samsung software support but cant see any other alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbgt2:
I came from the 9100, the Note, and finally the Gnex, out of box and stock this thing runs circles around whatever I had before.

Now rooted and running euroskank ROM and it simply flies absolutely NO lag. Temple Run plays fine but I didn't buy a phone to play games on, that's why i have z Xbox /Wii. Actually only played temple run once myself my 8 yo is the one that plays it on my phone and if there was an issue with it believe me I would hear about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
How about this the gn was used in the opening episode tonight of fringe by a guy getting a coffe w google wallet hehe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Really? You are going to get an end of life phone? If gaming performance is a little better then its mostly due to half the pixel count of the gnex. The 400 buck nexus comes with a warranty and people are getting fast replacements from Google with even the littlest complaint. Coming from a Nexus s myself I would have thought you to realize that this is the only game in town for true customization and one of the only phones outside iPhone worth getting from a longevity standpoint. This will most likely be supported by Google for 2 years. Battery life is great too. I get between 5-6 hours on screen with trinity kernel and mobile data on all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
U talking about sgsii hoe is it eol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
What is wrong with you OP(sarcasm)? Why should you be convinced to take a GN.

I would receive a GN with open arms :D

And yes im coming to this forum very very soon :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stx2:
Get it. I'm pissed at myself I didn't get it sooner. (Came from a Droid x2)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
$400 without contract is a major reason I upgraded from NS.

I am pretty pissed to get GSII (Hercules) and HTC Amaze or One S for $600 (way too much).

Coming from NS, GNex is pretty nice. Big 720p screen is very eye-friendly. The screen issue is minor and it does not annoy me.

My advice: Get it if you're on T-Mobile EM+, Value Plan, and Monthly prepaid plan, and you will love it for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gambler_3:
I used a gnexus and I am really disappointed with the screen. Compared to my nexus S it was so dim at full brightness.

And then the whites, my god they are so bad why? I have LCD nexus S so it's understandable it wont be that good but I had a pentile amoled HTC desire and it had far better whites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Maybe it was the one you tried no probs w mine....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Hw acceleration accounts for a lot of it. And OMAP processing and openness helps a lot too.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Exactly. Who cares
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daneurysm:
Okay, OP. I'm in the same boat as you kinda. I've got an Epic Touch and have a chance to trade up (over?) to the GNex. Primary reason being resolution, but, Google support and 3rd party development being a very close secondary reason. I had yet to see one in person...

...So I went down to Sprint a few hours ago...

...and I'm going to do it. Without a doubt.

The colors on the GNex are, actually, a lot more pleasing and realistic looking. It's still saturated, but, it's a little more in line with reality. Also ICS runs so smooth compared to the alpha CM9--which is still insanely smooth on my ET4G. It's far better than the stock ICS leaks I've tried. ...and vanilla Android. Need I say more?

The screen is a tad "not as bright" as my ET4G when I have it pegged on cornea scarring brightness...which I never leave it on. Primary reason being that my (and all) ET4G's kick into a reduced brightness mode to prevent over-heating (and likely shortened panel lifespan) after being on for a minute or two (which is infuriating when I do want the brightness pegged).

Is it "dim"??? No. Not at all. Compared to a stock SGS2 pegged and on "dynamic" color setting it looks a little weak, but, that's a guaranteed way to have the temp-guard kick in after 30-45 seconds anyway...so...moot point. It is a tad brighter than the auto-brightness-reduced SGS2....that and very natural looking colors. Fantastic contrast as expected.

...and the PenTile "issue"? A non issue with pixel (thus sub-pixel) density like this.

Games? I'm sure it plays games, and damn well. Keep in mind it has to push a lot more pixels than an SGS2...that may effect performance, but, I'm sure it would still spank the (still very acceptable) performance of my Evo or Evo3D or NexusS4G, all things considered.

Considering that I love 160DPI--and have been on 140DPI for a week now--I can't wait for that resolution.

Conclusion? I'm getting it. With no reservations.

Hi.

I'm using Android 4.0.4 (CM9). How can I synchronize my contacts with Facebook?

I want to get all my friends mobile numbers from Facebook into my phonebook with their avatars.

I installed Facebook app, added my account. Accounts menu in Settings are also configured with my Facebook account.

When I'm going to People --> Contacts to show --> facebook account, I see no contacts.

What I'm doing wrong?

How can I do that?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dsuppa:
I just got my RAZR and rooted and flashed Gummy ROM, unfortunately lack of a camcorder and netflix support is enough to make me go back to Gingerbread. I tried restoring from the backup I made before the flash, but it just sat at a black screen after the Dual Core boot up screen, so I reflashed Gummy. Its working now, but I'm thinking I want to flash to Eclipse ROM until better supported ICS ROMS are out. Is there anything special I need to do to go backwards or is it just like flashing any other ROM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
I dunno why your backup is not letting you go back to Gingerbread. Perhaps you should try flashing back to stock using a fastboot file. The files and instructions are available in the dev section of the forums. Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Try wipe user data/factory reset and wipe cache at recovery menu aftet restoring a cwm backup.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tartan1515:
I just got my Sprint GN yesterday. After activation it immediately began prompting me to install a system update. I'm assuming it's the FD02 update.

Will installing this update break my ability to unlock & root with all of the current unlock/root methods?

I'm coming from an OG EVO where I once made the mistake (seems like eons ago) of accepting an update and then having to wait months for a new root method to be discovered.

I was dumb to get this phone during finals week as I won't have time to unlock/root until some time next week. The install prompts are getting really annoying though. Thoughts? Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No. The update does nothing to mess with unlocking or rooting. You can still unlock with "fastboot oem unlock" and root with CWM and pushing the binaries manually.

Thank you! Now I can study in peace. :-(
[HTC One X] Maiesta_Miyabi:
Now that the HTC One X has been out for a couple of weeks in both International (Asia / European) version and North American (Rogers, T-Mobile, AT&T) does anyone know the verdict on which version has the better battery life?

I suppose this would be heavily based on usage, but I've read some contradicting things.

The quad core processor (in the International version) is suppose to be good on battery, but I've also seen (both reports coming from Engadget) that the North American version seems to be a bit preferred (because of the LTE, despite the 12GB usable memory).

Can anyone speak on this, and maybe let me know which one seems to fair better battery life?

I use the camera a lot, I don't game on my phone, I listen to music a lot, and I like to text quite a lot.

LTE would be handy, but seeing as I'll also be traveling with my phone and won't see that functionality be useful abroad... I'd be (and currently am) happy with the International version in a Slate color, and in 32GB (26GB usable memory space) form.

I'm getting 8-10 hour days on my HOX International version. If anything, I'd be eying the Rogers HOX if I were looking to get a North American version.
[HTC One X] gentleman559:
I have the International Version and I seem to get very good battery life. It last all day. Im rooted and running a custom rom. I browse the website and use it all day long. Don't really stream movies or youtube but it will last me about 12 consistent hours. Although a lot of people are complaining about the battery I don't see the problem on my end. Hopefully that will help a little.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
For now the S4 Krait version has better battery life. As stated in Anandtech's review, there will be an update available for the Tegra 3 version that they are currently reviewing that will sort this out. According to Nvidia, it's a software issue, so hopefully the update will improve battery life somewhat.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Yes, S4 Krait is 32nm, while Tegra 3 is 40nm, so the smaller it is the better battery life (but then there is LTE in S4 which I don't know how much will make it worse compared to non-LTE phone).

Tegra 3 - I don't have high hopes for battery life improvement fix, but we will see, I'd love to get it and have that "amazing battery life" advertized by nvidia reps.

I know they already announced Tegra 3+ for later this year which is 32nm so that should help with battery life.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
The T3 version takes almost 0 power during standby, it's the power draw during light use that is causing the lower battery life compared to the S4 US version.
[HTC One X] Maiesta_Miyabi:
Why is this the case?

Btw, you mean North American version. We Canadians had the phone launched first in North America.

Can anyone else speak on this query?
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
My guess is something from Sense isn't playing nice with the Tegra chip. My phone doesn't seem to lose power in standby but when I start using it after substantial standby time the battery level plummets. This leads me to believe that despite the fact my phone says I'm not losing much juice while in standby, I'm actually losing a fair amount.
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
I'm getting 4.5 hours screen time with heavy use on the international version, auto brightness and 1.28 stock.

I consider this great considering the screen is a battery hog.

What sort of screen time is the S4 getting?
[HTC One X] Maiesta_Miyabi:
So it really comes down to the fact that SLCD2 is a power hog?

I'm wondering if I should just return the HOX and wait out for the S3.

But I do like the aesthetics, and camera on the HOX.

I've had the Note, and it has had a better battery life, plus a brighter LED flash.

But as I travel a lot with my phone, its starting not to make sense to have something that big with me.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
I made the same switch as you. I really miss the battery life from the Note, but the phone was just a bit too big. I'm really banking on HTC growing up and releasing the kernel source for the One X sooner rather than later. Once custom kernels start being built I'd be willing to bet we're going to see much improved battery life.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I'm not sure whether the Canada version is the S4 or T3 version :P

On why it is so, it's not known yet but I read somewhere that Nvidia says its a software issue, so hopefully some kind of update will tweak some settings to lower power usage while on light usage :)
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
What do you think of the galaxy s3

My opinion: only a better camera and processor than the GN.... so its a ****tty ugly phone.. this time you FAILED samsung!!!!!
[Nexus S General] tjackbjorn:
I'm totally with you man!!!
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I mean, samsung created the galaxy nexus! The most beatiful phone i have ever seen... then they make a s3? Most ugle phone i have ever seen!!!

Then the camera: same as the s2, so basicly the only thing bettee is the processor and a ugliee design...
[Nexus S General] weehooherod2:
I also think the GSIII is disgusting. I'm getting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus once this semester is over but I'm not a fan of the Galaxy Nexus' look or build quality either. I wish HTC would make the Nexus line. I loved my Nexus One.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
I think they kinda dropped the ball on this one. Sure it has great specs and all but the design just turns me off, it looks too wide, and it reminds me of an egg. My eyes are set on the GNex still, same display, direct AOSP support, and one of the most beautiful designs of any smartphone. Maybe my opinion of it will change as time goes on but for right now it doesn't interest me much. Oh and Samsungs whole "inspired by nature" talk was so cheesy lol

[Nexus S General] ejatds:
samsung seriously delivered on the gs3, but with just a few critical errors

1. pentile screen.

IMO, idc if its pentile/non-pentile, as the 720p screen is more than enough, but a lot of people seem to think otherwise.

2. plastic finger-print magnet glossy casing does NOT looks premium.

3. back design.

4. 8mp camera. yea, megapixels arent everything, but a 12mp camera would have been MUCH better for marketing, as well as impressing more people on first glance

everything else if GALAXIES better then what the competitors offer.

still pleased with the s3 :)
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Demo was a joke, which completely sums it up with this device: a simple joke, that isn't even funny. Camera has pink hue, ****ty "S" branded gimmicks, plastic build, hardware buttons, 4x4 grid on 4.8" screen (hilarious gap), pentile display.
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Lol haters. The gs3 is the biiizzisssss. Open up eyes dummys. Plus when is hits here it will most likely have a slight makeover.
