Well what can i say. Worth every penny. I was an iPhone user for a few years then went to a HTC Sensation, nothing but problems with it then the evo 3D which i thought was a mega phone but it had to be sent back.

Ended going for the GN wow am i glad now i love this phone so much, whoever buys one will not be dissapointed. :):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Mischief:
Mine arrives today! It should be delivered by the time I get home from class.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hypersonicx:
I picked up my Galaxy Nexus Sprint yesterday. I traded someone my Sprint Galaxy S2 for this Galaxy Nexus.

Soon as I got home, first thing I did was root and installed blackice rom.

Only gripe I have so far is that even tho the display is 720p vs WVGA on the GS2, the Galaxy S2 seems to have deeper blacker blacks.

Is that the case with all Galaxy Nexus? The technology on the boxes say SAMOLED+ on the GS2 box vs SAMOLEDHD on the Nexus. If there both LED shouldnt the blacks be the same on both phones? I also read that GNexus uses pentile though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fortesquieu:
I understand where you are coming from and I also noticed that when I compared my GN to my previous phone, SII. The differences between those two screens are, for one, pentile vs RGB and of course, the resolution.

The blacks on GN is like dark grey, while SII's is pure black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hypersonicx:
Exactly!!! Thats the only thing I miss about the GS2. I was thinking there was a setting we can change. I tried playing with the Gama settings ect but on GS2 under display settings it has where you can adjust the color tone built into the GS2 settings.

If I could get pure black on this bigger higher res screen then it will be perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkilla:
Mines is at home waiting for me I had my nexus s for like almost two years
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Been underclocked to 691 MHz and performance mode for a few days now and have not noticed any lag using the phone. Great battery life also with sync and data off when out and about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I had the same complaint about the GNex when I first got it. It took me a while, but I experimented with the color and gamma settings using Franco's app and I great blacks. So much that I've been using Black Exodus theme and a pure black wallpaper. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yes for some reason the new amoled HD screens are not dead black like the older amoled screens on the nexus one, galaxy s, etc. Nobody really knows why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingofthebraves:
Flash CM9 and you will never want to buy another phone until the next nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
I've had it for almost a month. My previous phone was an HTC One which I gave to my wife. I have to say I love this phone waaaay more. It really is beast. Definitely feels like an android lover's dream phone. The phone just works, the feel in the hands is perfect and the development here is the finest. Won't change it till the next nexus. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hypersonicx:
Kinda erks me a little. That was one of Samsungs biggest sale points. Now my screen looks similar to my wife Eva 3D which has a QHD screen on SuperLCD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Same here. I started on the N1, but ventured out of Nexus waters when I got my Sensation, and it was an absolute nightmare.

The funniest thing of all about the Sensation was that the problem of the volume rocker falling off the device was so common that HTC

removed it from the coverage of their warranty

, forcing people to pay full price. They were losing so much money off the crappy volume rocker that they stopped accepting warranty claims from it to save money, lol.

Never leaving the Nexus line of phones again. I learned my lesson the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Lol the ESET robot :) love their AV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irizwan:
Used to have a Nexus S before

Now just bought a Gnex still stock tho :P

It's a monster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StrizzMatik:
My carrier-unlocked GNex comes tomorrow :) leaving my Atrix 2 and AT&T (hopefully) and getting on the no-contract bandwagon. First thing i'm doing is rooting & flashing either CM9, AOKP or paranoidAndroid :D can't wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DriveEuro:
Strizz, I'd go with AOKP. Much more mature I believe. Tons of tweaks in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mushroom.:
My Nexus arrives in a few days. I had an Infuse, and even though it was a decent phone hardware-wise, Samsung decided to abandon it for whatever reason.

Already reading up like crazy on all the rom and kernel options. Excited!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdec529:
That's what I love about my GNex. Tons of dev support. I prefer liquids rom, but there is truly a lot of very talented devs supporting the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sektopod:
just bought this phone, i dont have words :-D

A tip about the battery, its like in the past ? I do a first full 100% battery then I wait that it goes to 0% then again 100% ?

thanks :)

There's a chance like in Iphone while you browsing if u click top of the screen you go directly to top of the screen ?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starnostar:
Mine (unlocked gsm) will be delivered on Monday....

I followed the nexus line and then got an sgs2 (sprint)....never ever again will I buy a non-nexus phone. The contract didn't feel right from the start, and it didn't take me long to hate the limitations imposed on the phone itself.

It also seems that only aosp can do the messaging app right, and this is something I have noticed since way back when manufacturers started skinning and making things way more complicated than they should be. Touchwiz messaging won't do a full screen keyboard in landscape so you don't know what your typing....wtf?!?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
I have zero lag and fantastic battery life... it's a real struggle to kill the battery during a normal day. Take it off the charger in the morning and its still over 70%-80% by the time I get home.

The aesthetics are purely a matter of taste. When I first saw a gnex in the flesh I was amazed by how good it looked. Was annoyed I'd just gotten a sensation and couldn't justify another phone so soon. Eventually the sensation forced me towards the gnex though.

Like many others in this thread I'm only buying nexus from now on.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I smell an iPhone troll with this stupid post, your complaining about it being lightweight wtf would you rather hold a brick like iPhones weigh , hate to inform you of the obvious but plastic weighs less than glass an alloy an is more durable, damage resistant, lag is non existant unless you own an iPhone running iOS or a cheap android phone running anything less than gingerbread that's not dualcore.Battery life gee have you ever owned a smartphone before obviously not.There's is no phone on the market that peforms better than the gnex so I would like to know what you think is better so I can have a good laugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Actually, visually, ios does perform better. Cant deny that. Amd couple of other things. But thumbs up to overall gnex package.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
You must be kidding, so you think iOS is better than ICS, My wife has iPhone 4S an you have to constantly reboot it too free up ram on it otherwise it just locks up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wow. Do you have android ignoramus tattooed on your forehead?

Never owned an iphone and probably never will. But the facts are facts. iOS is faster, smoother and visually more appealing when "interfacing" with it. That's it. Nothing more to be gleaned from that. I am sure something beefier like an int'l gs3 is on par or faster visually. All the gnex needed to be was/is a middle of the road foundation for showing off ICS. That's it. Nothing more to be gleaned from that.

Apple puts out one phone on same line of upgraded hardware annually. For all intents purposes their **** better run optimized visually. ICS is hardware accelerated finally. But it still needs work. Didn't you know? All google's software is a perpetual beta? Apple wants you to believe each product is a finely tuned finished product, which isn't always the case. Btw, sounds like you need a iphone. To make things simple for you. You're complicating your own self.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
I never owned a touchwiz device in fact this its my first Android phone got 6 months with it, 2 days ago bought my tab 10.1 and used to gnex ICS I felt touchwized HC like the real crap.. It lasted stock 10 mins after purchase lol.. Rooted/cm9ed and now I feel back I'm home lol.. And yeah gnex domination won't finish until next gnex.. I feel sorry for those gs3 users.. As touchwiz stinks so bad

Nexus Cm9 + Franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Nope your a iPhone troll, maybe iPhone may scroll better, but scrolls so slow. Thanks for trying but I do have to agree my girl loves her iPhone 4s so much, she is selling it for a galaxy nexus. After three months of use, you right on every point but its not true lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Iphone troll? Wow. You too huh? I consider myself an Android fanboy but apple does have some good points. But i guess more people have android goggles on than i thought. Even wp7 has some good points. But i digress. I am probably confusing too many people now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgoyena:
Wtf?! Wrong forum bro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
My gn is incredibly fast and smooth. I have never had any lag for even the slightest moment. Scrolling between menus, home screens, anything is like butter. I think the interface is sleek and sexy too. This guy is trolling whether or not he thinks he is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
The guy isn't trolling. iOS has always been smoother. Even smoother than ICS. But that doesn't mean he said its better. He's just stating out a fact, which happens to be true.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Yeah. OK. Please show me your objective evidence, then, that it is a "fact" that iOS is smoother than the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Guys, before everyone decides to pitchfork and torch someone who remains objective, read what he said and put it in context. He didn't say "OMG iOS is King and it's smoother and Android is laggy and blah blah blah iOS blah blah blah Steve Jobs blah blah blah."

He said: iOS is smoother. It's visually transitions are smoother from app to app and it lags less often.

Let's be honest, that's one area where android has often not met or bested the iPhone. With ICS its coming close (thanks to hardware acceleration) but don't act like ICS has it perfect. It doesn't. It would take a blind fanboy to say otherwise. However, that also doesn't mean it won't get there. Looking at the Galaxy S III, if Samsung can optimize android that well, there's no reason why Google can't make Jelly Bean even more optimized without some OEM overlay.

I love android, and I've had the fortune of owning dozens of Android devices. But look at any review and smoothness of the UI and browser and app switching remains something that every single reviewer continues to compare to iOS. So there are your facts. If it was not true, than even android sites wouldn't compare an android devices smoothness to the iPhone.

It's okay to say: Wow, the competition is doing something right, how can we do that better. Without proper competition, innovation dies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Come to Canada, they don't put real ones to play with on display. All fake ones. Hate that! They weigh about as much as paper and have no internals. yet are still chained to the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
sure?

no noticeable lags,discrete battery life,or at least not so lower than others top gamma's phones,plastic yes,but same as all sammy's phone.after many accidental i can say that this plastic is more stronger that others phones that i bought and sell recently.

the development that this phone has,it's by far the better out there (others has same development...but roms full of bugs and things that doesn't works)

personally i like much the cpu inside gnex,it was one of the reasons why i buought it and totally satisfied,especially for streaming (due to seperate IVA processor)and for the dual channel ram.no need for me to a quad-core.a good dual is enough for my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
My own, personally-owned Galaxy Nexus has zero lag and is smooth as a baby's behind. Unless you all dropped yours in toilets filled with boiling oil and fried your processors, I don't see what anyone is complaining about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i need to charge my gn about 3 times each day. no school, maybe 2 times per day. with franco kernel, my max screen time was around 2 hrs. and no, i never will turn off my 4G data just to save battery. no point of getting a phone with 4G speed if i cant use it.

you can call me anything you want. android was my first smart phone OS and i had been using it for the last 3 years. HTC Dinc and now GN. you have no idea how many problems and issues i had faced. i want a phone that can give me a feeling of high quality build and not some kind of plastic toy. also, i played around on my friend's 4s, the smoothness cant be find on my GN. after my bro come back from CA, im going to test his international version of S3 and see how does it feel and decide my next phone.

yea, i have been using his kernel since M1. it's a beast kernel. even bought his app to support him.

as off right now, i am waiting for the new iphone to be released and i will compare the battery life, build quality, and the look with Galaxy S3. the only thing i like android right now are MIUI rom and swiftkey keyboard and maybe my unlimited 4G, for now, since VZN changing it soon....

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

i know what you mean, plastic does last longer than iphone glass case, but their design is really eye catching and nice looking.

as for rom development, i dont really into that stuff because i love MIUI and thats all i wanted. i also tried out other roms, but went back to MIUI. their theme manager/market is really nice.

1 more thing i really dislike about android is that the phone will get HOT. my first HTC Dinc and GN, it became quite hot after 20 to 45 mins of use. one time, i even put it in the freeze for a minute haha.

*sorry about my grammars and typo.*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
With aokp latest and faux 18m I'm getting 3 hours of screen on time easy. Depending on how long it takes me to get to three hours of screen on time is how long my battery last for. I've been with android since g1 and two new phones a year since not including my wife's phones..at first iPhone had the smoothness over android but also had the hardware over android ...my gn with ics easily takes the iPhone with ios ...ill give you maybe iPhone has sharper pics but gn is plenty for me personally ...and I'm sure the next nexus I get will take the next iPhone again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
yea, the smoothness is really nice. i never had used an iphone over an hr, so, i cant say it's a better phone. but if i got a chance, i will give iphone a try when it released this summer or fall. since VZN got 7 days of returning, i can return it and buy another one, S3 or even better.

Just updated to the Galaxy Nexus from my Nexus 1. Wow am I loving this phone. Already rooted and have tried at least 5 different roms. This phone is simply amazing and at the price I got it brand new....WOOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sektopod:
whats the best rom for this phone ? I got a friend that know this stuffs but he use another samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
well,if you want only and only miui roms i'm stopping here...tried one time,and not like that.i prefer other aosp\cm9 roms,with a proper kernel can guarantee me at least 24\30 hours of usage.the fact of become hot i think it's very common,many cpu's i tried suffer that,sII,note,gnex,gt-p1000,a bit the tegra2,etc etc..it could be also the fact that many apps that we are using aren't properly optimized for 2x or now 4x cpu.just my 2 cents.

Anyway i think also the new exynos on sIII becomes hot with normal usage (like i red in many italian forums)

it's my point of view only,but i like much liquid and black ice rather that cm9 based roms.try them and judge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FtBastrd2:
Ive had my Gnex since November last year and i havent put in down. I would say that i am addicted to it. Im constantly changing my layout even to the point where i will pick up my phone just to look at it and think about how i can improve it more... Always to a dead end lol. Its becoming quite a problem. Ive not had any issues with my Gnex and when i compare it to my friends SIII or One X i still prefer the Gnex.

Im currently running AOKP build 38 (linaro edition) with Franco Milestone 4 and its amazing. Just when i think there is little left to do, there is always a new build or indeed a new ROM.

I ran the Codename Rom for ages but it wasnt updated for ages and their last build had deep sleep issues, so i jumped ship to AOKP which gives the same features (and then some) with regular updates.

Might try other Kernels at some point but why mess with perfection :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metroba:
My search-ability skills must be terrible today. But can you link us to the linaro optimized Aokp? Are you seeing the GPS issues with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsoniic:
on my 5th replacement phone ! i was definitely running out of patience, but i loved the phone so much when it was working properly... anyhow 5 replacements later.. im a happy camper.. i love the rich beautiful screen, the black is such a pleasant to look at !! =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iTreezy:
We're all the same, buy a phone, root right away..

I was surprised my bootloader was already unlocked.

Is the verdict for 4g issue software or hardware, because I hate that mine only works for 2 minutes before cutting off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
I haven't tried it myself, but from what I read on rootzwiki, if you dirty flash it coming from non-Linaro AOKP the GPS works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metroba:
Found it shortly after this post lol. Been running it all day and I'm very satisfied. No problems yet. Battery life is meh but undervolting seems to have remedied it for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sektopod:
sorry the dumb question :D

but what a Rom, cm9, kernel etc. helps me ?

Just passed from Iphone3 to this phone and seems another world, everything the best, and so what the big benefit for "crack" it ? a part from loosing the warrant :D

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kelkelkel:
Beast it is! And especially now that the price has dropped right down after the introduction of SIII, which the software upgrades can be potentially ported over to the Nexus too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eberaldo:
how much is the GNex around you? here in Europe it's around 300€ now. best phone for the money, with a big lead. and although they made much more fuss about it compared to the nexus S and because it is a GALAXY phone, they didn't sell as many i guess. that and the fact, that it's "that freaky nerd underground phone"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
You won't loose the warranty, it's very easy to revert the mods. With a custom ROM you gain many new features, such as the ability to modify the navigation buttons.

Myself I switch between aokp and CM9. Aokp has more features but CM9 seems cleaner coded and a tiny bit faster as a result.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sektopod:
there are big benefits for battery duration if I put Cm9 stuffs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Not really if you are running 4.04 Android. Small benefit maybe but nothing amazing. It's little things like being able to switch wifi and Bluetooth off from the notification tray, and being able to change the layout of the navigation buttons which are pure sex.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codyg1985:
I just got my GN a couple of days ago, and I have been mulling over whether I should unlock/root it and put a custom ROM on it. Everything works so well right now that I am afraid to touch it, but at the same time I would like the extra customization that CM9 or AOKP offers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oxirane:
In that case I'd say leave it as is for now. Rooting and custom roms aren't going to disappear, if/when you change your mind, everything will still be here for you to tinker with.

Enjoy the Nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Bought my galaxy nexus Dec 18th launch day in Canada Toronto at bell full price $762.00 with taxes.. Let me just say this thing is a monster :) I really care don't about quad core phones!! Just as long as the software is up to date :) This phone has crazy ROMS, Kernels, Mods.. It Just gets better and better. Now a quite a few devs have incorporated Linaro in to there kernels and roms!! Running Franco's 185 with the linaro build and its awesome... But ya I love my Phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
You can at least unlock the boot loader and root without installing a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JobberMP:
I have flashed countless ROMs I really tried to like a lot of them. I had some I know were good. But I couldn't get into it.

Liquid Smooth 1.4 is what I can't leave though. Always come back to this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickzkcin:
definitely unlock the bootloader while the device is new. unlocking wipes the device, but you only have to do it once. also if you're worried about unlocking voiding the warranty, its just as simple to relock it.

Works also fine on a P5110.

Only the modelnumber info changed on my Tab from P5110 to P5113. Could that cause any kind of problems? :confused:

Since i'm a newbie on tablets, i don't know if there are any model related apps or so that could cause troubles.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] PanchoPlanet:
This condition is common on android phones especially the first Galaxy series ,some of the early roms available for phones like the Epic 4g and Epic touch where derived from European leaked roms early in the development stages, I guess that it was because Samsung had not released official firmware, this would cause a model number change at boot up but I never noticed any kind of ill affect or problems with apps running properly.

Transmitted from another galaxy using a "clean" P-5113.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sgrant:
As long as it is working I can't see it causing you any problems. I have actually received a few messages from people who have the P5110 and have not seen any issues.

Issu

i'v bought my tab2 10.1 in the Netherlands, its a GT-P5110.

i Flashed the rom on the tab, so it registers as a GT-P5113.

everything runs great, one 1 thing that i encounter,

i have 2 WiFi router in my house, one in the loft. the 1st one was set on channel 5, and the 2end on channel 13.

after i booted my tab a scanned for WiFi access point i only saw the one transmitting on channel 5, after setting the 2end router to channel 7 i worked like a charm.

I discoverd that you get 48Gb extra free space on Dropbox if you login on Dropbox with this ROM
