[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tdeljr:
Oh yeah camera is as good maybe a little better than the sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Thanks for the answer.

Can you tell me if the camera takes good quality pictures since it is a 5 mp camera.

Can you or somone else elaborate on each of these when comparing to Sensation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Is it lower than Sensation's?

It was low on the Sensation already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tdeljr:
I don't take a lot of pictures but do believe the picture quality is better than the sensation but that could also be that the screen quality is a lot nicer, and as far as the call quality its a little worse for me but I'm on Tmobile and live in lousy reception area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmcdonald58:
Imho camera on sensation was better that is all Gnex is a definite upgrade for me screen is much clearer I really can't think of anything the sensation could even come close in comparison not to mention the ease of unlocking rooting and running the latest and greatest from Google when it drops from source not ported the best thing I did was switch from HTC to the Gnex my calls are clear and Imo better gps spot on quick I sold my sensation about 1 week after getting Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leeskywalker:
I have just come from the sensation a week ago and haven't looked back, its simply in another league, I also chose it over the s3 and one x which imo were a massive disappointment

sent from a galaxy far, far away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gothickah0:
Gnex is the best phone,better then sensation. Cause its 100% android no tweak means more fast in terms of sotware. And the UI is clean. Faster update best screen quality.what else do you want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteveAwesome:
It sounds like a you're more interested in the camera aspect of the phone. The sensation has a better camera then the GNEX. But the GNEX is far better in the software department. I came from the sensation and was blown away on how easy the learning curve is for ICS and now JB. But if I was going to choose camera over updated software, I would have you upgrade the HTC One X. That phone is a solid shooter and you're already used to HTC sense
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Well the camera is definitely important to me, but I saw some amazing shots from the picture thread with the Nexus.

I am running CM9 on my Sensation though because i don't like Sense much, is so buggy and slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
Came from sensation about two months ago and I have never looked back, best choice I ever made the camera is actually better cause of the lens and fact that there is no shutter lag I still have my sensation and sometimes I will play with it and it doesn't even compare, go for it

I created a backup because I wanted to try a mod ,I didn't like the mod because it messed up the system UI.

So I tried to restore the backup however I ended up with the Samsung logo flashing?

I advanced restored the boot image and the phone started but all my apps were force closing , then I tried the full restore however the /data section wouldn't restore because it was corrupted

what's my best option? I've currently decided to boot to the nandroid menu and go on wipe data/factory reset , the phone has restored and I'm restoring using Titanium Backup. This will bring back my user apps I think?. But is there any way to restore wifi passwords and bookmarks and calendar appointments?

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I am pretty sure that by signing into your Google account it should restore your WiFi passwords and bookmarks automatically

Shall I flash XLFB using mobile odin??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Yes you can try flashing that via mobile odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediknight111:
What options shall I keep unchecked?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Before flashing anything.. go to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache, when done "fix permissions" ,this option is located in advanced menu in recovery. Now reboot.

Use "titanium backup" to backup BT WIFI and other settings.

Ps. Don't restore system apps, only the app data if absolutely necessary.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I agree with zodiaxe66's suggestion always try something like this before you just go flashing away.

I've used Mobile Odin to flash the stock LFB .I've done this before perfectly.

Kernel,Recovery,System,Cache, Modem and Hidden are filled in

Param and Data are clear.

And I tick:

Enable everroot .Inject SU ,Inject Mobile Odin.

And I select

Wipe data and Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Then I select flash firmware.

the mobile Odin screen pops up and it shows the progress when it flashes the

However the Message App still force closes!

could somebody please help me out ? I'm getting proper stressed now :(

Did u download the additional file beside the app itself. Either from mobile Odin thread or if bought it from market,then turn on wifi and open Odin again and u be asked to download additional file.

remember to grant superuser permission.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediknight111:
Update from the idiot, partial success achieved .

I ended up flashing the stock rom using odin on the desktop then I flashed CWM recovery rooted supersu etc

Then I started the phone, memory card is intact, however phone memory was wiped. Luckily my titanium folder is on the memory card. So luckily I was able to restore the apps and data. No force closes now

The stuff I lost on the internal memory was music (now restored) camera pics (most restored thanks to dropbox) ringtones and bookmarks.

However I have much more free internal memory than before, so I was wondering whether I could be missing an important folder or something than may cause issue with apps or is there anything important I might have lost?

Thanks once again for helping an idiot out
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
No your probably not missing anything

Important in fact when your phones internal storage was wiped it very likely got rid of the traces of any file that could cause problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediknight111:
Thanks, on Titanium Backup it shows my system apps and a few have green text, such as bookmarks, wallpapers, phone book. Is there any way to only back these up and not all the system apps?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I think if you long press on the options that are green it should bring up a list of options such as backup, restore, etc. try that and see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediknight111:
Is there any way to make it back up automatically?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Yes if you have the pro version of titanium backup you can schedule an automated backup that backs up to dropbox or Google drive I believe.

hello all

I have a question

some of my friends ar comming over from England to Holland.

we ar gowing to drive for 200 miles but no way to communicate

is thare a way to connect 2 android phones with WiFi and call

over WiFi so no internet or min use just the WiFi connection?

glenn
[HTC One X] monty13:
Do you mean phone to phone (no hotspot or router) via wifi? Or do you you want to connect to a wifi hotspot and use that internet to be able to make calls?
[HTC One X] kakit526:
I always use skype and its free.

But i don't understand what you talking about.

your friends are 200miles away but just using the wifi direct connect without internet connection?

i don't think wifi can connect about 10~30meter
[HTC One X] glenn82:
yes i meen phone to phone, we drive together with 2 cars for 200 miles.

no internet, no phonecalls just wifi.

i know the reach of wifi is more than bluetooth,

thare is a app for bluetooth in what I am looking for

it call blue talkie by Raffaele Ragni

but the problem is bluetooth has a reach of max in 10 meter

and wifi can do more

installing a router in the car is also no problem
[HTC One X] fr0st420:
Without internet you are out of luck I'm thinking. Why not do it old school and get a set of walkie talkies?

Anyone have any issues with your SD card from your previous device not showing the files that are on it?

I know they are there because the card says 3 gigs free of 14....came from my Fascinate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shimp208:
It could be formatting issues with the Sd card. Also sometimes Sd cards won't work going from one device to the other. Try transferring/backing up your files from the Sd card to your computer than reformat the Sd card, transfer you're backed up files to the freshly formatted Sd card. Finally put the Sd card back into your phone and you should be able to access your files.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dz2k:
and when you reformat the sd card(after saving to pc 1st), format to fat32 w/ active partition manager. not sure if youre rooted yet but this helps w/ cwm recovery. the exfat file system from windows and format sdcard feature w/ the phone gave me trouble.

i really hope someone could help me.

my HOX is on ARHD 7.2.0 (just upgrade from 7.1.0 today). Since i use this Rom everything work perfect but just one app not working properly, QVOD (available on google play store). This is a kind of P2P movie download+player. every movie i play with it, it will just suddenly jump out from the film and back to the top page of app.

I am sure this is not the problem of app cause my friends HOX with stock rom works with it no jump out at all.

hope someone could tell me what s wrong.:(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptok:
My S-Pen stopped working. I tried another one and it didn't work either. There were a few brief moments where it worked, once after a wipe of the ROM and once after switching the right-left handedness of the pen. Now it doesn't work anymore, ever. It is probably just a coincidence, but I started having problems some time after flashing CM9. It seems like a hardware problem, but if it is software is there anything else I can try?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Have you tried going back to stock gb via odin and testing it again. If it doesn't work on stock its probably hardware related, you can claim under warranty
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptok:
Thanks for the response.

Yup, I tried going back to stock GB. No luck.

My phone does not have a warranty. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
why does it not have warranty ? it should still be in the 12-24month limit.

Is it on contract ? Usually network providers have a warranty that lasts the length of the contract. Mine does (vodafone UK)

So if samsung wont repair it, your carrier might.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptok:
I bought an international Note it from Negri in the US. I thought there was no warranty, but it may be with the manufacturer outside of the US. I contacted them (Negri) for support yesterday and will see what happens.

Update:

Negri said I had to go to Samsung. Samsung's web site did not recognize my phone and directed me to their help line 1-888-987-4357. They said they do not support unlocked phones. They forwarded my call to someone 'who can help you with unlocked phones.' I explained the problem and was just about to get my warranty work done when they said oh, you are in the US we are in CANADA, I can't help you. Now back to Negri.

I also noticed that if I twist my phone just right the pen starts working again. Re-seating the connectors did not help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_100:
Hi all,

I don't know what happened (probably an automatic update?), but when I started my phone today it wouldn't finish the boot process. It was stuck in a loop boot cycle. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.

The VolumeUp+Home+Power buttons combination won't get me to the recovery mode. The VolumeDown+Home+Power buttons combination gets me to the odin mode which displays the Downloading... do not turn target off message. A few seconds later the screen starts flickering with white noise, like a badly tuned tv.

That's all I can do. I just want my phone back! Any ideas on what I can do now?

Thanks!!!

It seems the problem is that launching the app through the widget displays less options than launching it through the app list or a direct shortcut.

Why wouldn't it just launch the app proper? X_X

I have a stupid question.... But since Google has purchased Motorola and is in an attempt of purchasing Motorola Mobility etc. Does Google support Motorola devices like the Xoom tabs the same way they support Nexus devices?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The US Xoom is a nexus device...just not called nexus for some foolish reason. That is why the US (wifi) Xoom has gotten all of the upgrades so early. If it had been called Xoom Nexus it would have done better in the market. It has that special ring to it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slap-Yourself :):
Awesome! I thought it would be, but after reading some press releases about the Moto purchase, it seemed doubful since Google said they would treat Motorola as a separate comp.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
It doesn't have anything to do with Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility, which happened quite a while after the Xoom was released. It's because Motorola was given the opportunity to create the flagship Honeycomb device, without any Motoblur or other skins...just pure Android 3.0, and Google promised to directly support it with OS upgrades for at least 18 months.

Hi.

I know you saw a lot of post like this; however, this one is different.

When I connect my phone to charger or pc, the icon at the top shows lightning bolt sign which means its charging.

but, when i go to settings -> battery, says discharging, and of course, it doesn't charge.

since i connect to my phone to charger, counting hours on battery stops even though i disconnect it.

connecting to pc works well with usb debugging, MTP, rooting, basically everything, but doesn't charge.

I thought it is the problem on the usb port, i opened my Gnex, and replaced it to new one.

but, same thing happens. I don't know what the problem is...

what should i try now...will samsung take my phone even though i opened it?
