[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
I have been having issues with replacement Galaxy Nexus' having incorrect color calibration and I kept complaining to Verizon.

They offered to send me a different device, and considering the Galaxy S3 has better hardware, I was thinking of taking them up on the offer.

The only thing Im really holding out on before I make my final decision is for the dev community to get the bootloader unlocked.

So do you guys think I should stick with my Nexus or have Verizon send me a Galaxy s3?

UPDATE: After talking to multiple customer service reps, they told me the only thing that they could do for me was update me to the DROID RAZR...I told them that that is not a "comparable device" and all of the multiple service reps still wouldnt budge. They even went as far as to tell me that their system WILL NOT allow them to upgrade me to the Galaxy S3. Anyway, so I was fed up with the customer service B.S. and so I emailed their executive office. After about two days, I received an email from them asking for the account info and some contact info. They told me that under normal circumstances they wouldnt do this, but she told me the issue I was complaining about with my Galaxy Nexus was a know issue, but at the moment, they dont have a fix for it. She also told me that the customer service people were lying. That the system will let them do it, but it is just a little more difficult. The only thing that I am kind of knit picky about is that theyre sending me the blue one, because they dont have any white ones left, but its whatevs...at least I am getting a free phone and I won.

Even with the locked bootloader the s3 is still pretty amazing. It seems like everyday someone in the community is making something for this phone to make that much better. Ive never owned a nexus so i cant compare but im sure u would love this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamHLG:
I upgraded from the GNex. You won't go wrong here. First, the TW interface is really nice in my opinion. The battery is insanely great and there was no custom kernel on the GNex that gave me even remotely the battery life I get now. The camera on this phone is amazing. It has a bigger display. Better processor. I say go for it you will not be disappointed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Agreed! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smalltownbird:
I get a lother better signal and 4g in more places then I ever did on my gnex
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FinalTrigger:
Thats a very good question. In my household we have both the S3 and the Nexus...and I cant say which one is better. I personally have the S3 and love it, even with the locked bootloader theres still soo much you can do. The Nexus is a fantastic phone on its own, but if you have the nexus and crave the development...then stay with it. Or find someone with a S3 and switch phones for couple days :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
The final decision is yours, but:

While the Galaxy Nexus is a great phone, I feel if you have the opportunity, you should get the Galaxy S3. While the locked bootloader isn't it's greatest feature, it's roaring development is. There are devs out there working extremely hard to unlock the bootloader on this device. And even though the bootloader is locked, the XDA community has managed to flash custom roms/kernels onto the device using the awesome development of Kexec.

And even without root or any modification to it's firmware, Samsung's TouchWiz interface isn't too bad and it doesn't affect the phone's performance much either, because the phone itself is quite powerful.

However, if you want a phone that was made for development, then the Galaxy Nexus may be best for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
So my next question is ...if I got it...Pebble Blue? or Marble White?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
We have both colours here, with a white Amzer Shellster case+holster for the white, a black set for the blue.

The white has more of a uniform, understated, contemporary aesthetic in any lighting, and almost feels iPodish in terms of first impression, but is far more approachable. That is, I feel current iPods are not only chunky (which is OK), but their thick metal band around the sides and boring uniformity make them look like pieces of industrial equipment with a white face tacked on. By contrast, the Galaxy S III in white presents as more of a fully sleek and "professional" device, overall. The white case we use keeps that overall feel relatively intact.

The pebble blue is brushed and offers different chroma depending upon the lighting and angle, so there's more interest in its somewhat variable presentation. You can't always pin down how it looks during daily use because it doesn't seem to uniformly reflect ambient light sources from the combination of its brushed colouring and rounded surfaces, which is kind of neat to me. There is a possible purplish hue that can come off the surrounding metal-looking edge and Home button at times, which I see as a positive: it adds to that meandering notion of its colour values and personality. Generally a darker phone, sometimes comes across as medium/medium-light in tint and even tone if light is hitting it squarely (and, depending on the type of light source).

My highly subjective impressions, at least. I can offer pics, if interested.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
No need to attach pics, thankyou for the detailed analysis...I went and checked it out the the VZW store and I think if I switch to it Im getting marble white.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
I still havent called Verizon about getting the S3...but now that the bootloader is unlocked I am going to...the only thing I am afraid of though is that they are going to tell me I can't get the S3 because it is more expensive than the nexus... I know I can fight the fact the specs on the RAZR are inferior to the Nexus, but how do I fight the specs on the Reazound if they try to offer that to me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asmallchild:
I'm not sure they'll make that switch for you from a nexus to a s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
If you want to fight the specs on the Rezound, say the screen on the Rezound is "remarkably" smaller than that of your Galaxy Nexus. I put "remarkably" in quotes because you can stress that word when explaining the differences, even though the Gnex has only a .35inch gain on screensize compared to the Rezound. Screen size does play a factor when some people buy a phone, you could use that to your advantage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I came from gnex an don't regret it one bit. I was hesitant because I flashed roms for the nexus all the time looking for speed and battery life. Guess what, this phone has that stock! I love it. Rooting an customs roms are just a nice bonus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
To anyone else that will try this...dont bother...they wouldnt budge for me. They told me the Galaxy S3 was too new for them to give to me.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] terranq:
Has anyone found any decent cases available in Canada at B&M stores or available on line? amazon.com has a lot of really nice cases, but paying $35-$40 for S&H is not economical, and amazon.ca doesn't seem to have much of anything that I've seen.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mr Dasher:
Good question. I eventually settled on a case from Amazon and paid for shipping which was almost the price of the tablet. I think the popularity of the Nexus will lead to more cases being available in the retail market but who wants to wait ?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] psy65:
I decided to buy a blackberry playbook zip case. They sell those at 40$ at futureshop but on ebay you can get it at 10$ shipping included. I haven't received mine yet but i figured that it should fit nicely.

Sorry, I dont own an S3, I might soon though.

My friend said on CM10, the only way to get to Google now is through the search bar on the home screen, whereas on my Nexus, I have that option or I can press the home button and slide it up.

So for the Galaxy s3, someone should make it like S-Voice where you just double press the home button for Google Now to come up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] satadru:
You can also add a Google Now shortcut on your home screen. That's what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
I understand that you can do that. But in my opinion, its too many steps to go through when you are already in an app to have to go to the home screen to do a search. There should be a hotkey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustabo:
at your home screen you can long press menu.

to set it as double press home, use the app from play store called "home2 shortcut"

your welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwartzman93:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that app and it doesn't give me any options for double tap home

Edit: scratch that, figured it out, thanks :)

[Defy General] opala:
Hello guys!

I just recently bought a Defy, I'm very pleased with it,

but theres something's that driving me crazy,

Searching on this forum, most people claim that they get the best gaming performance with CM9.

I have tried about 5 different roms so far, Miui, Cm7, Cm9 and Cm10 -> with and without Chainfire, with and without chainfire plugins, with and without overclocking, froyo and gb kernal.

so far Chainfire only vastly degraded my performance, probably because it enabled HD graphics, my best benchmarks are without it.

Cm7 i am getting 40 FPS on neocore and ~2000 on Quadrent.

Cm9 getting only 28-35 fps on neocore (Tried only Epsylon builds so far).

Miui GB getting 36-38 fps.

Realworld I am using Nova 3 to see if it is smooth or not.

So, why are people saying they get the best performance with CM9? What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!!

I have encountered an unusual issue on the G2X and wondered if anyone else had seen the problem and found a solution.

When I rotate the device to landscape, applications (like sms, calculator, browser ...) used rotate properly. However, now it just stops rotate.

I have tried to use GPS toolbox to calibrate but no go. I wiped, wiped, and flashed couple of different roms but still no go.

Wondering if it is a hardware issue? Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
might sound like a silly question, but did you turn off auto-rotate? Look through your various settings, it's in different (and sometimes multiple) places depending on your ROM.

If that's not turned off, and you've tried reflashing, it might be hardware; time for a warranty return
[T-Mobile LG G2x] saotua:
Yeah.. I've tried turn on /off so many times plus reset prior flashing new roms. Since this is a replacement phone so I don't have proof of purchase. Warranty replacement is not an opinion ATM:(
