[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Well, you know for sure you like the gnex, so why not just get another one? When the new Nexus comes out you can take a look at it and maybe sell the gnex. As for the S3, it has significantly better hardware... screen, camera, processor etc... but it doesn't have the Nexus software advantages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
Can't argue on games on iPhone vs android cause I'm not a gamer.:D

But I would differ on this that s3 or even one x doesn't have more to it than nexus.

Yes nexus gets OS updates fast but when both phones are on same level of OS, which they will in month or so, it will be different.

Example the leaked new build of one x is notably faster than previous, everyone noted that who uses it. And that's 4.04.

Also on s3 you put apex,nova and you get stock look.

Talking about quad s3 here, US users may don't agree.

What troll? Where's the troll?

He likes nexus true

He likes but wont buy S3 or One X for his reasons, which are only good phones apart nexus in my opinion at the moment.

He likes win phone 8 and want to buy when it comes... and than there's iPhone somewhere in between.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Well the screen of my previous Nexus look better than my S3 so it depends on each device and the batch it came from. My Nexus screen didn't have banding problems. I like the higher dpi too.

S3 has a much more powerful quadcore GPU so its one of the best phone for gaming now. Playing psx games it was over 500fps. And the camera is excellent, but I don't think its any better than the S2 or Note.

I trading my S3 to go back to the Nexus, made a big mistake buying any phone but a Nexus. Now that I realized that fact, my phone hobby will become more affordable, especially with Google pricing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsmith6:
i don't like my gnex

My gnex was dropping the signal all the time.

My wife's Droid x has a much better signal reception. My gnex is much faster on the wifi. I got Verizon to send me a replacement and the second one has same problem. But the second one has powered down on me a couple of times now for no reason. The phone was in a case on my side when it happened the few times that it did. I am frustrated now. Verizon said we could talk about a different model

But what do you replace this with. What is most bug free without losing ground?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
You sound like you're into gaming, so right off the bat I'd recommend waiting for the Note II. It sounds like samsung will pack in a lot of power, and once you go bigger you generally can't go back.

Waiting (a bit longer) for the next Nexus is also another possibility. Hopefully it'll come with an OMAP 5 or another A15 chipset. (As a strong soft-key advocate, it's also not likely I could get anything besides a Nexus anytime soon either.)

While I too find WP intriguing, I cannot in good conscience recommend it or iOS due to the limitations they built into the platform. I'm not even talking about limited custom modding (though that's also a big deal to me), but even more basic limitations: no custom launcher, no custom keyboard (no swiftkey or swipe? They must really think their stuff is the end-all-be-all or something), no file manager, no sideloading of apps. Some of this might be mitigated by jailbreaking, but only at a stability cost.

This problem is even worse in WP due to its further limitations; not even WP8, to my knowledge, will allow custom backgrounds in its launcher - my Launcher 7 is practically more advanced than their bloody default start screen. Still, if you do decide on WP, you should definitely wait until the 8 devices come out, or you'd just be buying into a dead end.

Right now the S3 or One X are the obvious choices, but I would recommend waiting. It feels like better stuff is right around the corner (whether the Note, Nexus, or One X+). Unfortunately, I don't think England has the Nexus for $350 deal, or I would definitely recommend that for your father.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wrath90210:
Hey guys. I was editing my build.prop to allow google now to be installed and pushed to my rooted SIII.

Now it hangs before the boot animation. I'm running stock rooted. I changed the ro.build.version.sdk = 16. It was 15 now 16 ha. Then also renamed the googlequicksearchbox.apk to .apk1. Tried to reboot and now I'm stuck. I tried booting into CWM Recovery and that works just fine. Also mounted the /system but I can't adb pull the build.prop. No devices detected, USB debugging was on because that's how I was going to push the google now app. Adb also worked before I edited it.

Thanks for your help! :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wrath90210:
I'll just restore my backup I made haha, but for future reference I would still like to know how to adb during cwm recovery .Thanks guys!
[Droid X General] mikejr83:
I just saw over at droid life that the razr/maxx and possibly the bionic are going to get some custom kernel love using the now popular kexec method. I did a little searching on the Google and didn't see much in the way for DX kexec development. Does anyone know if any devs are pursuing kexec on the DX or is it just not possible or worth it?

While my DX may not be nearly as fast in some tasks as my S3, it still gets a ton of daily use and with CM 7.1 gingerbread kang it feels just as fast doing certain things as the S3.

Hopefully my Google-fu sucks and some awesome dev is already working on porting over CM9 with kexec kernel! I'd love to keep this phone around for a long time. It's just a little difficult jumping back from ICS to GB.

EDIT: looks like someone was working on this a while ago. Found a rootz thread that mentioned dxforums post that said the problem was drivers. Looks like the thread is now closed and was last active last year. Sucks. Anyone know anything else?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Developers worked on kexec for the longest time, and it worked.

But there were issues with drivers that crippled hope to get kernels working through kexec on the Droid X.
[Droid X General] mikejr83:
Thanks for the info. Basically what I found out while searching the web at work today. Sucks.
[Atrix 4G General] ropin1:
hi im a zte blade user but am looking to buy a new phone. ive done research on this phone but wanted to know whether this phone is really worth the upgrade? if anyone can help answer a few question that would be awesome

- is this phone fast, in terms of games, multitasking and just browsing through the screens and app drawer etc

- what is the rom development like for this phone, do you reckon it will get any of the latest updates soon?

- is it worth £130?

thanks in advance if anyone can help
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
- Yes, it is quite snappy. I have yet to find something that will make it unacceptably laggy or slow.

- The latest complete release is Gingerbread. Newer releases (ICS, JB) are in the making and should be just around the corner, it all depends on when will Motorola release their own version so devs can extract proper hardware drivers from it.

- Is that brand new? Then sure, otherwise it can easily be found for significantly less.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
i think this is a pretty good phone.

1) Yes. Very snappy and smooth. And thats on GB. On JB (unofficial CM10), it flies! Totally awesome!

2) Rom development...well, its not that bad, but could be better. We have all the latest roms available, but as of right now, we only have one dev that actually owns an Atrix. Others devs are blind building. Not that they are doing a bad job, in fact, they are doing terrific job blind building, my respect for them.

3) Don't know. Got it for around 170$ used a couple of months back. :P

Offtopic: Lets wait for ATRIX_LOVER to come in, and flame this phone like there is no tomorrow. Lol.
[Atrix 4G General] elbscorp:
If I broke mine I would be searching Ebay for a good deal on another Atrix 4G.The one I have now I got for $162.50
[Atrix 4G General] consolation:
It's a good phone for the money you pay. Very easy to repair, so if you're on a tight budget, broken screens etc are a cheap fix compared to other phones (no glue used etc.) You can get a cheap lapdock, for less than the price of gs2 you can have a pad and a phone.

Performance wise, Tegra 2 benchmarks about the same as a dual core 800MHz chip of the current generation of phones. Not rocket fast, but definitely smooth enough. Games compiled for Tegra 2 perform much better than you would expect as the ulv geforce is a competent GPU. Lack of neon extensions means that apps not optimised for T2 take a performance hit. This will become more of an issue as time goes on; T3 has simd extensions put back in so there's little incentive for developers to keep two code paths. It does have an unlocked bootloader available, a huge bonus for dev support. On the other hand, being a Tegra 2 based phone means it will never reach the popularity of the likes of sg2 or some HTC phones.

We are promised an official ICS ROM within the next couple of months, you can expect good support up to Jelly Bean: after that, not so much.

Imho, it's a bargain for the prices it's sold at, especially if you get a lapdock at the same time. You get a phone and a pad for, essentially, the price of a low/mid range phone.
[Atrix 4G General] debt collector:
It's a good phone. £130 seems like a good deal. I wouldn't pay anything above £160 for it.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
Unless Android's next version still uses ICS drivers.
[Atrix 4G General] ropin1:
thanks for all the replies,

i can get the phone used for £130, which is on its own (no lapdock) i think that is a good price and within my budget.

i cant seem to find any other phone with similar or better specs at this price unless someone could point me in the right direction?

thanks again :)
[Atrix 4G General] debt collector:
You might be able to pick up an LG optimus 2x for slightly cheaper than the atrix. It has the same tegra processor as the atrix. Even has hdmi. Main difference is that it has 512mb ram whereas atrix has double that.

I've used both and there's no noticeable difference in performance when running the cm7 roms.

If it's possible you might want to wait and see if either phone is getting official ics. The LG owners are in a similar position as us regarding updates :(
[Atrix 4G General] Cris123:
For a little more you could get an HTC Sensation. I'd say that the Sensation is harder to unlock and has pluses and minuses from the Atrix. Personally I prefer the Atrix but the Sensation might be a better bet forthe future given the liklihood of ongoing support/development.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kotyaer:
Can't post a link to the site, but it's on the Motorola website, on the Bionic product page...

Read carefully.... below the image, under the features tab....

"ANDROID 4.0 (ICS) UPGRADEABLE: WE ALL SCREAM!

Ice cream is cool. Ice Cream Sandwich is HOT. Needless to say, DROID RAZR is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) upgradeable. You can find all the latest software upgrade news in our Motorola Support Forums."

Might just be a mistake... but maybe a hint that ICS is coming soon?

Really wish we'd get JB after this, but the bionic feels like the redheaded middle stepchild of the Motorola family. No matter how awesome it is, it's still ignored at best.

Just wondering how many people actively use power saving mod on Verizon. Do you find it that you save battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twolfekc:
I actually does save battery life. It underclocks it to I think 1.1 ghz or something around there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
I use it and my battery drains like crazy but that could also be that I have little to no service at work where I use it most.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Well I should ask how much battery does it actually save you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
I tried it for a day or two. Then I rooted and flashed synergy 1.3 and I will never need it again. I didn't think it actually did that great of a job and I'd rather not limit my phone to get better battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
I use it and it seems to work. While at work I stream music on my walks during lunch a good half hour to 45 minutes on LTE. By the end of day I'm at about 60% when I get home. That includes checking Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and emails throughout.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgorrell:
Haven't logged it, but my impression is my battery lasts noticeably longer with power saving on. On a typical day I end up with around 60% left after work if I had it on vs. maybe 40% with it off. There are exceptions though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geneing:
I use it and it saves a bit. However I got the most improvement by setting wifi to off when the screen is off (in advanced wifi settings)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
I don't use it mainly bc I love the snappiness that dual core gives it.

When u enable power saver it kills one of the cores which greatly effects performance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fivecent:
Power saver drops the processor down to 1.35ghz and does save a bunch of battery. I used to have a problem with losing a little bit of snappiness in my launcher, but now that Imo's 12.2 kernel is up and running everywhere that performance drop becomes negligible. I do make sure to only have the CPU throttling running and sometimes the email / internet modifier. The other stuff is more of a pain than it's worth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Does anyone use the option to analyze images and adjust screen tones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Laramie1997:
Tried it on the factory touchwiz after the first day of not really messing with the phone and have 20% of battery left after 8 hours but quickly realized that I wasn't going to be happy with the phone underclocked as it were. I'm going to guess it clocks the phone down quite a bit more than you guys realize too.

Install CPU Spy on your phone and let it monitor where it sets the clock rates.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
Incorrect. It reduces the maximum clock speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pclever1:
Power Saving Mode

If you read the description of what power save mode is, you will understand that it does almost nothing with little to no use but when you are playing a game it will restrict the processor from using too much power and the phone will change the color tone of white so the screen uses less power. So unless you are playing games all day with a white background (doodle jump) you shouldn't see a big battery saving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mizlabel:
smasung galaxy s3 verizon-power saving mode

I use it as well and think it helps. Also, if you go to advanced wi-fi settings and put "keep wifi on during sleep" and change it to "never", that saves battery as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrehob:
Don't use it, but I'd like to be able to configure it to enter power saving mode around 15%. Maybe I can..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Not true.

I used it yesterday without playing a single game. It dropped my max clock speed, as CpuSPY confirmed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twolfekc:
Pretty good in my opinion. Been on wifi for about 3 hours and lte the rest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
So is that with or without power saving mode? because if thats the case I tend to get that without 0_0. I guess the main reason I asked was because when I first got the phone I was easily able to hit 4 hours of on screen time and now im down to 3 hours =/ thats still plenty battery but I was thinking that maybe id get the extra hour back with power saving mode. Ive tried to keep it back on lately but i still get roughly the same amount of battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twolfekc:
That's with it on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
Which would consume more battery: an excellent WiFi signal or a good 4G signal? (I would assume the 4G)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twolfekc:
4g by far

Hey guys, just found a little bug and wanted to collect a little more data before contacting anyone about it.

After fully wiping and updating to a new Rom my XDA app has been misbehaving. Under the "participated" tab of the "latest" section my app just shows "No topics". Even more strange is that when I click on my own username and select view all posts, it says "this user has no posts". I have since made a couple posts and these messages still say no posts.

I have tried logging out of the app, clearing data, and restoring a backup from when the app worked. None work.

I am running Xi40 + Beastmode kernel.

Anyone else having a similar issue? If so, what Rom and are you using a custom kernel? Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matty67:
I've never had any problems with my Nexus S until my battery took a hit with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1 it's being a total pain in the ass.

For reasons I cannot figure out Exchange goes nuts. I turned sync off and didn't even check email yesterday but my battery had 10% left after 5 hours. With Gingerbread my screen was almost always the #1 battery user but since then others have taken away the crown. Exchange or Mediaserver with Android OS being runner up if not finishing first on occasion. I've been consciously trying to not use my phone for much because using it for much of anything means I'm down to like 3 hours on a charge. The phone never goes to sleep, the "Awake" bar is solid or a very intense bar code while the screen is more black space than anything by a large margin.

I am also finding that sms notifications aren't notifying me like they should be. Like I received a text 30 mins ago that I didn't know about until I went in and checked and seen one there waiting. Notifications are enabled. But I don't get the sound or the notification in the notification bar.

I am here to share my experience to get 18 (around 5-8 hours screen time depend on your usage) hours normal usage, browsing chatting, facebook and calls.

2 days if you are not touching your phone at all, standby.

follow my guide, I think it's all about the Kernel but I shared the rom I used too just in case.

this guide is for GSM, might work on others just download the proper rom and kernel.

Optional, you can underclock to 1ghz but I didn't and got 18 means more if you underclock it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
point 1: when you go to 1GHz , it's called underclocking. undervolting is when you lower the voltage for the corresponding processor frequencies.

point 2: 18h , but what about screen ON ? how much is the "normal usage" equivalent to, in terms of screen ON and the stuff that you're running on your phone.

it's nice to see you trying to contribute and thumbs up for the effort, and i really don't want to sound like an a-hole, but this is not a guide. flashing a custom rom + kernel, and letting the battery go through a few cycles cannot be considered as a guide with battery saving tips. Cheers mate.
