[Nexus S General] Skunk Ape1:
I have the nexus s4g and love it. Its been my favorite phone so far.

That being said, I played with a gnex for most of last weekend and to be totally truthful, walked away from it unimpressed. The performance wasn't a whole lot better than what I have. Color and contrast wasn't what I would expect for a super amoled screen.

Even after using it for the weekend, I disliked the software buttons even more than before...

My upgrade is coming up soon and I want to stick with the nexus or galaxy line but don't know if the gnex would ever make me happy. But then again, don't really know if I can wait for the gs3 to come out.

I for one am trying to wait for the gs3.

Same here. I will just wait for the next Nexus.
[Nexus S General] Solarian:
I can't guarantee this will work, but I'll try. You seem to be able to use a browser, this is good. Look up the acronym SoC, which means System on a Chip. This is what we call the "brain" of the phone, much like in humans. While we have no accurate, tangible way to measure human brains, we do have something called "benchmarks" that we can use for all sorts of processors.

As an aside, I would argue that the stupid **** people say on the internet can be used as a sort of "benchmark" for human brains, and I deduced a lower "performance" from your brain based on your poor writing skills and lack of understanding of basic concepts about how a smartphone functions.

Getting back to the original topic though, the SoC or "brain" of the phone can be tested in a fully objective manner by running multiple benchmarks that cover every aspect of it. The tricky thing about benchmarks though, is being objective, because certain benchmarks favor certain systems. Admittedly, Quadrant (a benchmark, you can just type "Quadrant" into Google and read what comes out), favors the Exynos in the S2, so that one should be discounted, but regardless of this, all of the other ones put the "brain" of the S2 to be superior to the one in the GNex, making it the superior phone.

Now, some naysayers will say things like "Oh, but the GNex has a higher resolution, so it has more pixels to drive." This is true, but the majority of CPU related benchmarks don't have anything to do with resolution, and there are plenty of GPU benchmarks that occur off screen, at a standardized resolution of 720p so that all SoCs can be compared fairly, and the S2 spanks the GNex in all of these as well.

If you're not able to understand any of that, I can summarize with "Because Science!"
[Nexus S General] b1337:
Lololol your basing this off of benchmarks? I see how your logic works now...
[Nexus S General] Solarian:
So funny, basing things on facts right? Isn't it much smarter to base them on absolutely nothing, like you do?

You sir are an idiot, wannabe arrogant pretentious prick. You are like a cat chasing his tail trying to always have the best hardware, to bad its crippled by terrible software that's never up to date, if u knew anything about phones and technology you would understand that nexus isn't about the specs but the development and ability to always have the latest firmware which almost always run smoother and more efficient than the latest and greatest hyped phones that people really just paid money

to test dummy for, u must like being a corporation pawn and letting them bend you over every 6 months when u have to have the latest "best" new phone, but hey its all about the specs right? Big swinging dicks all that...

Ninjas and Developers ...

... I have a Defy 525 MB actually brick, spent MS2Ginger4 and after the first restart did not carry over.

... not applied the SBF-Fixed and maximum I can do is to connect the device, but is boot looping.

I have only the logo image (M) when I apply any xxx ROM 4.5.1 or later, otherwise is just black with white light.

I guess my problem could be solved if I could apply the wipes, but when I access the original recovery menu commands are not accepted when tightening button to select (Power)

below is a picture of what happens ... I think not mount command can not apply the wipes

It's impossible to get out of it, have tested dozens of sbf files, drivers of different versions, all updated, rsd lite different versions (also updated)

I tried windows 7 on windows XP 64 and 32

Is there any way to apply the wipes without the recovery? is there any way to fix the recovery?

... indeed, a dead end.

I have no money to another smartphone, I have no phone. :(

Please Help Me.

Thanks

hey,

look at this what Casper87 original have post, just rename the zip to update.zip put it on sdcard and try to apply with stock recovery

i think that work

Edit:

Ooh missed that u have flashed some full sfb after u got this error, than this update do nothing for u without su rights cwm or the other stuff don't work.

what sfb u flash at last?

ok finally bl7 can be root look at this -»

but without wipe the cache think it don't work, u can try to flash first part and than wipe.

is like if i doesnt press anything :(

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnTerNoZ:
have u flashed the right two sbfs to get this work?

is that over all in bootmenu? u can't enter a custom recovery or adb?

have u flash the bootmenu cwm update file?

okay you can do one more thing if your mobile is in warranty.

flash some sbf which makes your phone look like it has crashed and then take it to service centre near you and then convince the service guy that its DOA(motherboard has crashed) and so he will replace it...

since in my country a third party company (reddington) looks after motorola's service so the service guy knew nothing about bootloader and my mobiles state was completely dead so he replaced the motherboard(he told me motorola has instructed to replace the motherboard if phone is not able to start)..and got the phone working

Back to life

... I explained that I did everything to revive Motorola, reading several times to update the drivers and the RSD I could revive the device ... removed the old drivers and RSD, cleaned the registry, installed everything updated and did not work.

yesterday i formatted my notebook and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 in English, flash a 134_DFP-4.5.1-231 before taking on technical assistance (hopeless) and to my surprise the starts moved from bootloop.

Lesson is:

on a clean install of windows with drivers and RSD updated with the correct SBF file, your motorola is more likely to come back to life.

I tried everything, for 10 days and several times - today I can say with certainty, the problem was in the operating system of the notebook.

Thank you to everyone who helped :D

[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
The flagship of Samsung is now up and whoa! That is some latest piece of tech.

Specifications:

Samsung Galaxy SIII:

4.8" 720p SUPER AMOLED (pentile) Display.

1.4 GHz Quad Core.

8MP rear / 1.9MP front camera.

2100 mAh battery

16/32GB storage (64 coming soon) with sd card slot.

ICS with Touchwiz 4.0

HTC ONE X:

4.7" 720p Super LCD2 Display.

1.5 GHz Quad core.

8MP rear / 1.3MP front camera.

1800mAh battery.

32GB internal storage with no SD Card slot.

ICS with HTC Sense 4.0

My Opinion:

Well, specs ain't the only thing. The overall performance, feel in hand and overall experience of the phone really counts. I don't think it's a big leap forward as we already know HTC ONE X is a beast in itself.

I prefer HOX because I don't like touchwiz UI of Samsung and the build quality is better in HTC ofcourse.

Many people will go against me and that's how it goes in the world.

* Sense 4.0 is better than touchwiz.

* ImageSense is better than SIII camera.

* 1.5 GHz quad core (penta core to be precise) is better than 1.4 GHz Quad Core.

* The shape is actually better than SIII. Didn't like the shape of SIII (may be it's just me.)

*I'll vote for One X against SIII*

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Buy the one you like. Vote for the one you admire. This sort of competition is good for the new technology. And at the end of the day THE BEST phone is one which is in your hands.

Enjoy your phone. Enjoy the talks.

Like THIS for a compliment.

Would love to listen from you people.
[HTC One X] MATTHEWLONG:
But changeable battery and micros SD. Will probably have to get S3 and sell One x......

Probably....
[HTC One X] Warhero141:
In no way is the 40nm tegra 3 with the crappy gpu better than the 32nm exynos. Maybe in battery life but that's because the companion core.
[HTC One X] lordlegion1985:
I agree with your comments on touchwiz I think it really is an ugly launcher wonder if Samsung have mastered basics such as alphabetically arranging your app bar correct me if I'm.wrong.

Altho sense is heavier it does personally feel more stylish and easy to use and runs nice on the hox.
[HTC One X] GuestK00431:
Already pre-ordered one for those reasons. 40nm Tegra3 or a 32nm Exynos, Exynos wins there and should have better battery management. Love the One X, hate the battery.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Battery isn't a big concern, I think. It gives 20+ hours a day and is better than extended battery 2100mAh of Galaxy Nexus (probably because of fifth core).

Yeah SD CARD may be a big corcern for few but in general sd cards are slow and can cause several errors/glitches in system. May be this was one of the reason HTC preferred dropbox over sd card.

100% agreed.

Ugly design and inferior screen compared to One X and of course still touchwizz.

Glad I did not wait for S3.
[HTC One X] Robboftw:
I'm glad I got the One X in the end.

The only plus points on the S3 are the expandable storage and slightly larger, removable battery.

Aside from that, the One X has it well beaten for me. :)
[HTC One X] slapshot30:
You're talking about the ergonomics and such of a phone you've never even tried yourself. Stop trying to make yourself feel better about your purchase by talking down on another phone. I'm not saying either phone is better, but I knew I'd visit this one x section today and find a thread by a one x owner crapping on the gsIII.

SIII benchmark looks to better

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-iii-quad-core-benchmarks-blow-us-away-20120503/
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
Sense 4.0 isn't better than Touchwiz in terms of fluidity and performance. But that is personal preference for which you like, but I wouldn't mind either Sense 4.0 or Touchwiz.

ImageSense isn't better than S3's camera, S3 features a processor itself like ImageSense but better, which is the reason it provides 0 second shutterlag compared to 0.2 - 0.7 second.

Exynos is a true 1.4Ghz, it doesn't scale down like Tegra 3, Single Core 1.5Ghz, Dual Core, 1.4Ghz, 3-4 Core 1-1.2Ghz but the companion core is a plus. But the exynos offers better features such as Power enhancement, the 32nm etc

The shape is your personal opinion. The HTC One X is plastic as well. The white version of Galaxy S3 appeals to me, think it has a metal thing around it and other part is made out of plastic but durable like the HTC One X and Galaxy S2.

Screen goes to HTC One X, easily better than the pentile Super Amoled.

In terms of performance and battery life, the S3 should win, but it doesn't mean that HTC One X is bad. What I said is facts.

I'll be getting it, but i'll be keeping HTC One X as well.
[HTC One X] an.d.d:
Are you guys nuts! Samsung gs3 will have far less problems than the one x i'm going to have to return my second one x. I've never had to return a phone before nevermind two of the same phones in 2 weeks!
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
The things the S3 did right that the one X did wrong is a micro SD card slot and a larger removable battery.

The CPU I think will be dependant on application I think tegra 3 will have the edge in some area's the Exynos will win out in others.

Personally I think the One X looks a lot better to, but if the S3 gives S-OFF it will give it another big plus over the One X.

Overall though im glad I have the One X and wont swap, though I cant wait for someone to push out an extended battery (even if I do have to open up my case to fit it).
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Well, I did say in OP that I'm just gonna compare it and check out people's reviews. FYI, I'm yet to ONE X. I was waiting for SIII :D and now I'd definitely go for HOX.

This isn't a thread which is smashing SIII but is gently comparing the two flagships.

[HTC One X] slapshot30:
I thought the GSIII screen wasn't pentile? A new version of super amoled I heard. Don't quote me though, but the one x might not necesarily have the better screen.
[HTC One X] :
Agree with you I don't too but goes to show the Tegra is over rated and a battery hog. Hopefully the new chip in the GSIII is much better in that respect.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I too am glad that I got the HTC One X rather than the GS3. I came to the One X after owning the S2 for just 3 weeks, I can't live without Sense.

The Touchwiz UI is very lite, but this comes with it's flaws. The whole experience isn't very, well it isn't very anything if I'm honest? There doesn't seem to be much functionality added by Samsung, but much rather Samsung making a dock, a menu, and leaving the rest of the functionality to the widgets created by other dev's on the market, such as the stock Facebook app, bar a few such as the clock.

When I unlock my HTC One X and I'm greeted with a beautiful weather animation and an absolutely stunning screen that you can really

really

tell is real true HD, it's much more stunning then the GS2 which had an awkward unlock screen and the worse screen ever.

I know some people believe AMOLED to be better, and I'm sure in certain circumstances it is, however I'd prefer my colours to be more realistic, and personally I have always found displays to appear more realistic on my HTC's than on the Samsungs. The Desire HD, the Sensation XE & One X just all hit the spot for me.

It's like comparing Lamborghini & Ferrari. HTC being Lamborghini, Samsung being Ferrari. Ferrari always seem to have the same old designs, rounded lights and either red or yellow (yes, i'm aware they do other colours) well Samsung Galaxy's always follow the same design, Menu, Back & Home button. Lamborghini try different things out and although sometimes you can tell one car is the successor to another, sometimes with their new models there's barely any DNA there. This is comparable in my eyes to the Sensation and the One X.

To me, this year HTC has stole the show. Their One X & One S (and even One V) are just truly beautiful and iconic. So many people have seen me holding my phone and gone 'my god, is that curved, that's absolutely beautiful' however when I had my GSII the comments tended to be 'this feels so cheap'. The One X, despite being polycarbonate, just feels do damn premium.

Benchmarking is just one side of the story. I don't care if the GSIII walks all over the One X in Benchmarking. What's the use in Benchmarking if the Software is a pile of crap, the keyboard is virtually useless and the camera takes half an hour (compared to the One X ofc ;) ) to take a photo? HTC manages to do EVERYTHING that I want to do on a daily basis perfectly.

HTC takes it for me. You can see that the designers have gone to a great deal to design something that is no other than beautiful. When looking at the comments about the GSIII, so many users say 'so ugly' and things a like. I remember when the leaks of the GSIII were made, people were like 'I promise this is not the final device, this is ugly and clearly a prototype' well the confirmed prototype from 2011 looks EXACTLY the same as the GSIII we saw released today.

HTC until the day I die, +1 guys :cool:

[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
I'm swearing so bad at my screen at the moment. I don't understand how people can't get there facts right first.

Tegra 3 12 Core GPU is still One GPU just like Mali MP not MP4. My AMD GPU has 500 Core, what does that mean? The Mali GPU > Tegra 3...

Yes, you got one fact right, the screen is better.

Exynos is built on 32nm and has a power efficient saving (dynamic voltage control) compared to Tegra 3 plus a lot more optimised.

The Galaxy S3 has a separate processor for the camera, hence it taking 0 second (no shutter lag) pictures.

JESUS CHRIST!

It does, which is the sad thing, I didn't mind it on Galaxy Nexus though, but the One X is better.

P.S AT EVERYONE SAYING SAMSUNG IS USING CHEAP QUALITY PLASTIC, ITS THE SAME THING AS HTC ONE X POLYCARBONATE, IDIOTS

I agree that the Tegra 3/memory(io) etc got smoked, but the Exynos does not have any games that are optimised with special effect and so on. So tell me when will you use the extra power the Exynos has clearly not in games, maybe only in benchmarks.
[HTC One X] maggot_ff:
Thank god someone finally posted some facts. Don't get me wrong, the One X is one heck of a phone, it might even be the better of the two, but why the need to drag the competition down with false statements?

We won't really know which is best for a couple of months, but in reality you can't really go wrong with either of these. Unless you get a One X with one of it's many "design faults". I hate those, the only reason i haven't bought one yet. A little happy about it now though, now i might be able to get some impressions from the SIII too.
