my 64gb sdxc card laughs at this statement :) this truly is the only step holding me back from getting it right away.

Plus i do not know what kind of data plan you have, but around where i leave u have to pay half your kidney worth for barely 1gb data plan.

[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
Well I see some excitement around this new nexus phone, but I must admit that, from my own experience, if I would have the money in my pockets, I wouldn't buy this phone just because it an LG. I had a very bad experience with LG smartphones and that was not related to hardware. The software is, pure and simple put, stupid and the after-sales support, basically zero. I couldn't imagine how a Moto Defy TI OMAP 3310 clocked at 800 mhz (and used by me at 1 Ghz) with 512 mb ram could be, at least in my eyes, 2x times more fast and stable than LG Optimus black with TI OMAP 3330 1Ghz 512 ram (think that both phones had the same GPU). The lag experience in LG is just scary to be honest and I must thank LG for motivating me to buy this awesome SII (which, by the way, in gsmarena is still ranked in the top ten, along with a bunch of new and next gen phones, with only two places under Iphone 5...check for yourself). A good comparison between Op G and SIII you can find also in gsmarena, a full review, where they argue that although LG has the hardware advantage, SIII keeps the pace and still manages to beat in some places, only because its software wiser. Thus, another strong point, not made by me, that LG are terrible in what comes software. The nexus phone, on the other hand, has this big chance of Google vanilla experience, but at least for me LG as a brand is smoked. I prefer a million times my SII, which, at least with this new ICS XWLPY-nee, gives me a brilliant experience. Is nice, clean, swift, and together with launcherUX, I cant ask anything else (for the moment).

Again, this is my personal opinion, your preferences are yours as well as the money in your pockets. I will keep mine and instead will taste a very solid phone with a great upgrade (JB), hopefully before Christmas.

Cheers

I am waiting for JellyBean very desperately,too!

But: did any of you guys get an update from.. let's say win95 to XP, for free? I mean, any of you who bought a Pc with Win95..

Samsung will give us JB in a while, for free(!) and we can expect a well running Firmware with some good and some bad parts but they will provide something that works.

Please, stop the whining and, just my opinion, please stop the NEXUS B**lsh*t. This is the GALAXY S2 Forum.

And I am happy to own one.

Having a smart phone without connectivity is like having a super car without gas.

Perhaps you're right, another device would suit you better.
[Galaxy S II General] robertogl:
You are not alone, totally agree. Also, a nandroid takes 2 gb, so if I have only 8 gb of storage this is complicate, for example a dual boot will be impossible...

I live in that county, and I agree.

In the place that I live for example the 3g connectivity suck a lot. So I switch in 3g very rarely because I can't get h+ neither h stable here. Eheh... you're a lucky boy if you are living in the technologic side of the world XD here in Italy the gsm is very outdated in my zone.. here if you want 3g stable you gotta go to Rome or viterbo XD

if Nexus 4 have a bigger screen (4 inch is too small for me) and external memory card slot, i definitely gonna get a Nexus 4.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
4.7" screen, but no MicroSD slot. 8/16GB configurations only at this time.
[Galaxy S II General] Codrea:
I want to change to nexus 4 too, but the problem is in my country, Indonesia nexus 16 gb US price (350 $) become (550 $)

JellyBean Update

yeah but as I say..."Better late than Never" But thanks for this bit of info.
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
IMHO, arguing that having a small internal memory card and no option to use an external memory card because we could/should just use a cloud service is just silly. If that made any sense at all, why are some phones coming out with 64 Gb built in now? Duh.

While cloud services are great, especially for backup purposes, using them to access your videos and music collection everything is silly.

Even if you live in a country with fast/super cheap internet connections, it still would be nice to have HUGE storage space on your device.

1) Using 3G to download every song/video you want to use on your device kills your battery a lot faster than just using it from your phone directly.

2) People that live in areas with excellent 3G coverage still have "dead zones" in random places (elevators/lifts/basements, etc...) so there would be times you'd have no access to your beloved media. Also, transferring data when you have low reception is even harder on your battery.

3) People that have this great coverage you speak of might actually take holidays/vacations where they won't have coverage, or it would be expensive. They would be be bad scenario in either case.

4) You have to be dependant on BOTH your cloud service AND your internet connection the moment you want to access your media/files

5) I'm sure there's many other excellent examples....

All of these problems are solved by having enough memory on your phone/SD card to store all/most of your files instead of having to stream/download your files ever time you need them.

P.S. Also, having a huge external memory is a big plus over having internal memory at times. For example, when my S2 died last week and was replaced by warranty for free. Guess which files I lost? (In case I lost you, I obviously was able to take out my SD card BEFORE turning it into warranty, thus keeping all my media on there, but the files I had stored on the internal memory were all gone when I got it back from warranty :thumbdown: ) So again, even if a new Nexus phone came out with 1 TeraByte built in, I'd still like the option for some external/removable storage...

P.P.S. I live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and we have good 3G coverage here, and you just pay $5 for 2 gigabytes that expires after 1 month. Also, many many places have free WiFi now (unlike when I first arrived in this country in 2009 and had to drive across town to a coffee shop that had decent dial-up). If you use your 2 gigabytes before the month is finished, you get an sms saying you need to buy another $5 subscription soon. Works great, but I often head out into the provinces which have 2G coverage (if that), so I need a place other than clouds to store my files.

[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
My point exactly. Beautiful put mate. Nobody takes into consideration the battery penalty for streaming considering that we don't have phones with tablet like battery capacities & even then that wouldn't suffice.
[Galaxy S II General] Prashanthme:
OMG just saw my friend's Note 2.. its mind blowing. I felt samsung is better in making this beast(I had used jelly bean preview on my phone though i thought mine was smooth. :P) The Note 2 is damn smoother just a single swipe felt like swiping a butter. And games man run like crazy just play temple RUN on Note 2 u ll feel the difference and screen is perfect for watching movies esp HD. Jelly bean unlocked completely in Note2 but he said the samsung still updating some features, thinking if my S2 also had the JB it would rock like hell... I dont care abt Key lime pie i need JB :P
[Galaxy S II General] frans23:
i hope in next update, Samsung would merge the phone storage and usb storage into one storage like Note II

i forgot Nexus 4 have 4,7 inch screen :p
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I also don't like idea of non user replaceable battery on a phone :mad:

Rather get a Galaxy series phone every 3 or 4 yrs and enjoy it :)
[Galaxy S II General] Codrea:
All I need is project butter..looks like 4.1 to 4.2 doesn't showmuch change..

Btw, if samsung releease the official jelly bean with project butter but samsung doesn't release the document and source code, can thedeveloper in xda make custom ROM in galaxy s ii with project butter?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Based on how it went for the S3 after their official JB was released the answer is NO
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
3 or 4 years:eek::eek:

I would rather get a Nexus phone for 3 or 4 years than having a Galaxy phone with outdated software

But I will go for the Nexus only if the new exynos sources don't help the devs
[Galaxy S II General] nix66:
The Nexus 4 looks very nice, a very good alternative to the S3
[Galaxy S II General] YaPaY:
No sd card support.

It's unacceptable thing for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Codrea:
hello tomorrow is november and no sign sammy release the jelly bean. Is that mean, JB comes to the end of November? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] chris2busy:
This..If cm team had something to work with i'd stick with gs2..anything cm is better than any stock, anyway...

But with the exynos sources/documentation samsung has funked up majorly..
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Ofc it will be at the end of the November. At least Sammy didn't say Q4 because we would have to wait +1 month.
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
They promised "in November," but they never specified in which year.

:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nexus 4 is a downgraded phone with a larger screen. No thank you i like the most features Samsung implements they are just so good.

But in hardware it may be a small upgraded part

It's almost November, let the official ROMs come out! :D
[Galaxy S II General] yaatzek:
I hope it won't be something like value pack for s1. I'm expecting full featured JB, if not - gonna sell it.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
You realize that in India, even a street dog doesn't buy a LG phone :P because of their bad product quality(screen issues, battery), pathetic service and after sales support. Also their h/w never impresses me and I remember how LG claimed that they have a guiness record since they were first to introduce dual core phone but when S2 came in market alongside it crushed LG dual core phone in the dust.

I have nothing against LG or any manufacturer for that matter but when I buy a new gadget I expect it to be better compared to my previous one which I own.

16GB Storage, no sd slot, non user replaceable battery etc seems a down grade compared to my S2. The only strong and positive point about a nexus phone which always has been is pure Android and faster updates. Nexus has always been a concept or reference device for Android and will never be a competition to non nexus phones from OEMs
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
I had an LG Optimus One for year and half, did not face any issues till it was stolen.

I have never heard of screen issues.Reviewers have given very good reviews for Optimus G screen

which is the same as in Nexus 4.LG is also prime supplier for iPhone screen which as touted as one the best.

The only issue I have with LG is their software.Optimus One wasn't usable without CM on it.Since this will be

taken care by Google it should be good.

I would wait for 2-3 months to see if they come with 32GB one else get the 16GB one.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Everyone's mileage varies and it's been long I have seen anyone using LG phone where I'm and screen problems which I have reported is not my personal experience but from people who I have told me after using LG phones.

If you give me a 32GB nexus just like how Nexus 7 got it, I may think about it.
[Galaxy S II General] Codrea:
oh damn, so we are forced to use official ROM? to be honest, I prefer to use custom ROM by xda developers rather than official ROM. but if I can't use project butter in custom ROM, I will choose the official ROM. Sammy oh Sammy I want to kick your head if that's happen.

okay let's wait for november 2013 :D
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Do you even know what you are talking about?

First look at the specs in GSMarena and then tell me if the hardware is "small upgraded part":rolleyes:

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php

Didn't see the Optimus G having screen issues. Product quality is looks good for the nexus 4. Its hardware is also a beast, an A15 quad core S4 with adreno 320.

Now people will only talk about nexus's flaws and after buying a non-nexus phone they will whine that why they didn't buy the nexus
[Galaxy S II General] GnFgr:
they want shiny rocks that has no support.

After they get no support from they company that sells the rocks they come %$#$%#$ devs here because they cannot fix the rocks that they did not produce. The devs ask the selling company for help and the selling company gives them more rocks..........

Damn that sounds like samsung situation doesn't it? origen board and bull****.
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Last time I checked November only applies to Samsung Sweden?
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
FYI, it is Krait, not A15. Yes, there is a difference.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
But why are we talking about the Nexus 4 in this topic? Every time I receive a notification I believe that there finally is a JB ROM, and when I open it I see thousands and hundreds of posts about Nexus 4 !!
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
It's not A15 it's still an A9 with some A15 features similar to Apple A6. I read somewhere it's almost 75-80% A15. The only A15 currently on the market is Exynos 5250 in the Nexus 10. The other A15 based SoC's like OMAP5 etc are expected sometime next year.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Also incorrect. It's Krait. Not A15, nor A9. Also, Apple's A6/A6x are neither. They are using a new MPcore caled Swift.
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
Nexus Trolls in every Topic lately, I have enough, going to find a SGS2 forum :(
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
It will pass. It's the new toy. In the meantime, our leaks should start soon with the first unlocked devices getting JB this month. UK users will get JB only after the carriers, in December or January, due to that update exclusive window deal Samsung has with UK cariers.
[Galaxy S II General] dud3me:
Hope so. Getting really annoying with people ejaculating over it in every single thread. :mad:

Glad I'm not in the UK , so hopefully I'll get it in a few weeks. Though, the only reason I'm really waiting for it is the fact that it helps cm10 developers.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Feeling the really strong urge to flash and root. Sooooo long waiting.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Ahahahah I agree! I'm really tempted to try CyanogenMod 10, just to say that I have Jelly bean too, but then when I think of the amazing battery life that I have right now with 4.0.4 stock, I decide to stay and wait for Official 4.1

I can't wait to that day when I will open XDA and see about 99587 Billion topics about the first Jelly Bean ROM! :)
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I suppose we've waited so long, might aswell wait a little longer :)

I have CM10 on my Galaxy Tab already and its amazing, but on the S2 be a dream..
[Galaxy S II General] :
i still don't like that it isn't based on samsung features, as i do use em allot.

but well hardware side agian, i had no clue what i did talk about, didn't even knew the specs lol

about jelly bean the new panorama mode will be epic :D
[Galaxy S II General] thegreatdead69:
What about 4.2? will sgs2 get a 4.2?...

and why developer soo... dislike expandable storage...

is this the next step of technology learning everything about human? the cloud storage. The Brain of something, but yet still nothing....
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Nothing known about 4.2 for us... 4.2 is just an incremental update, so we *might* get it, depending on Samsung's mood on updating one year old phones... they're releasing galaxy phones like mad, just saw the news that they released galaxy premier... and in my opinion, that's bad for older phones...

As for the expandable storage, its highly debatable considering the price of the phone...
[Galaxy S II General] vpraveenis:
Do you remember back when Nokia was king on phones, Samsung used to make cheap Sh** phones. Now Samsung has come up to a level where they are building mass market phones. It's looks just like LG has learnt the trick to build quality phones. have you read reviews of the optimus G? Every review praises the build quality of the phone. The only sore point was LG's UI. Google know what they are doing and if they have chosen LG, then it means they have done really something special which Samsung/HTC/ other top manufacturers cant do.

Talking about bad screen quality from LG, They are one of the companies that manufacture and ship the display for IPhone5.

You can choose what you want, no one is going to bother. Wise choose wisely :)

1. Get the nexus, limited storage, but nice support from google. Enjoy a new version of android every 6 months for the next 2-3 years

2. Get a samsung, huge storage, wait for new version upgrade. Always be a version or two behind. flood samsungs FB and twitter crying for dev support, get excited for nothing, feel bad and moan about samsung wait for months for a leak while nexus goes along merrily to next android version. Dont forget you need to dump your current samsung and get the next samsung flagship once they announce if you want to stay at least 1-2 versions behind current latest version.

Come november 13th I will have android 4.2 running flawlessly on a new nexus, what will you have? Moar storage on partially broken 4.1 running on SGSII? Or maybe a Note II? but still no 4.2 for you. :p
[Galaxy S II General] :
I believe we won't get 4.2 face it Samsung already going to give us 4.1 and we should be happy for it. Also if we get it , we will probably get a simple upgrade and not everything else and there does cm11? Comes in. We got an outdated phone and Samsung did good to listen to users request about update us to 4.1 and when 4.2 is in Samsung developers hand the date will be about Feb Mar even Apr , then they most likely won't get us 4.2 . Its our time to go forward (for they who can)

[Galaxy S II General] :
Ah nexus 4 looks pretty cool , however i wouldn't buy a nexus 4 (atm) not due to the price, i still can't loose the features from Samsung. But then theses this new way to organize in 4.2 and for those who said 4.2 doesn't have any big changes, it does. New panorama mode. As camera mode is new. So is the new screenlock with its new features. The notification bar is improved. And more will come. Ah and yes improved Google now.

That's what i know from nexus 4 Google hq example :thumbup:

Looks like in my country if I want to sell my s ii it's worth 300$ and LG nexus 4 will sold around 550$ although google say nexus 4's price is 350$ :facepalm: f*ck my country

But as long as they deal with Microsoft...

Liked Nokia quality, only ( and very big) negative point is that they fooled us Germans so bad :(
[Galaxy S II General] Krishnadusad:
That will never happen. Nokia is in a partnership with Microsoft as it has invested in Nokia (reportedly as big a investment as around 40% ! ) and Nokia is thus liable to stay true to Microsoft.
[Galaxy S II General] nutpants:
If Nokia keeps losing market share as windows phone stays as a next to unknown device, deals will mean nothing.Nokia will not go bankrupt with our trying anything, no matter how much money micro soft shovels on.

[Galaxy S II General] Krishnadusad:
No this can not happen mate.Nokia ceo Stephan Elop had already made his stand clear about the fact that nokia would not take the android path. Also, the already have tizen in development I see no reason why they will move to android.
[Galaxy S II General] nutpants:
I'm not saying Nokia will go Android.I am just saying if Microsoft windows phone 8 fails like phone 7 they should not be foolish enough to beat a dead 4th horse in a 2 horse race. If they dump windows phone for their own smart phone OS I'll have a look at what they have.
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Did they say mid November or just November ?
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
This is totally correct. As we all know, no CEO has ever changed course or been fired after bad business decisions.

FYI, Nokia's previous CEO stated he would not abandon Symbian. They also had Meego in development. How did that end up? Bottom line is that things can change in a hurry.

So what should we talk?

Day 1, Nov 1st - when is JB ROM for S2 coming?

Day 2, Nov 2nd - Soon

Day 3, Nov 3rd - Once it's ready.

There is nothing to discuss apart from waiting. A leak can trigger to have a conversation about it but we don't even have that :(
