For all Nexus 7 owners who would love to use Chrome for Android, but can't stand its laggy /jerky performance and the fact that the iOS is already on v21 & we're stuck on v18:o, there is a giant ray of sunshine!

There is reference to a Milestone '24' for many of the highlighted issues, so hopefully Google will give us a major update around the time Chrome desktop is updated to 24, probably around November, in time for 4.2?

[Nexus 7 General] rockvoid:
hopefully you are right...chrome is quite laggy on nexus 7.

it´s a shame...
[Nexus 7 General] uncisbest:
noob here, but will Chrome ever get Flash on the nexus 7? Havent ran across too many problems with not having it yet. Any other better browsers out there?
[Nexus 7 General] masully84:
No it won't get it

[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
No, Flash for mobile devices has been discontinued by Adobe. So Google dropped official support from Chrome.

For what it's worth guys, I find Chrome to be smooth as butter on the Nexus 7. It totally sucks on other devices though.
[Nexus 7 General] Warren_Orange:
Chrome is OK on my nexus 7 but awful on my nexus s, its literally unusable.
[Nexus 7 General] marmankites:
Chrome is perfect on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus ?
[Nexus 7 General] sahshah:
Sideload stock aosp browser, it s the best browser on N7 imo can play flash flawlessly. Firefox Beta also can play flash but it crashes sometimes.
[Nexus 7 General] Turbotab:
When you compare it to the stock AOSP browser on the N7, it is far less smooth, especially in terms of scrolling.

Javascript performance is slower, according to Sunspider. I expect all these things to be fixed in the next big update.

On Chrome desktop there was a big jump in performance from v18 to v19, like 20% faster javascript rendering in Sunspider, so hopefully these changes will be incorporated into the Android version.

I use the Boat browser on the N7 and Chrome on the S3. Boat has flash, so all good there.

[Nexus 7 General] TECK:
I have zero issues with Chrome, running on a stock ROM.
[Nexus 7 General] Turbotab:
Cool, if you're happy with it now, it can only get better with a major update, however IMO it is far less polished than the current AOSP browser.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
It kills me they removed the option to disable "Open page in overview" in Chrome.. I hate with a passion constantly having to zoom in every time I go to a new page.. Opera is the same way and it's beyond mind boggling why they insist on keeping it this way. AOSP browser > *

Chrome is awful all around IMO.

This is the best android GBA emulator ever so have fun: http://slideme.org/application/gameboid

And the bios here: Well you will have to find it for yourself.

Install the apk and place the bios in your SDcard and when the app asks for it just locate it and the you would be able to play.

Oh and find roms for yourselves and don't as "where can I get roms?".

Total newb question but on the CM10 thread they say:

Instructions:

.... they don't say how to flash if you are upgrading.

Some in the thread say that they just "dirty flash" it.

What exactly is a "dirty flash"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
dirty flash means you didnt wipe data/cache.

most of the time, you can dirty flash newer versions of the same rom over the older version of the rom you have.

HOWEVER, if you have problems, you need to wipe data/cache and reflash the rom completely
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oshax:
Guess I might as well wipe the cache and dalvik even on a dirty flash?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I upgraded from CM10 M1 to M2 with only a wipe of Dalvik cache. Works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oshax:
I finished installing M2 after wiping both the cache and dalvik cache (figured I would do the cache just in case).

Worked great!

Thanks all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacewalk3r:
***what Nexus version do you have?*** i've used the below instructions with GSM GNex***

If you're coming from an AOSP CM9 rom, Do the following :

Download Maguro (or your models ROM+Gappsl).

- boot into recovery.

- Preform NANDroid Backup.

- Wipe Dalvik cache.

- Wipe Factory reset.

- Wipe Cache.

- install zip from SDcard>choose zip from SDcard>ROM.zip (your ROM)

- Flash Gapps.zip

- Flash kernel.zip (if you have one)

- go to Advanced> Fix Permissions

- Reboot system now !

- Enjoy.

***I've used this method for a trillion flashes !***
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
No need to wipe anything when updating nightlies. Like it was said before, wipe data and reflash when you face problems.

Hi all, I have a 2 year contract with Sprint, but I just cant take it anymore, I am planning on cancelling my contract and sign with another company, but I am not sure which one is the best (or less bad) for me in NYC.

Can anyone recommend one with good reception and real data (not the 30kbps 3G sprint has)

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
In NYC i get 2mbps on where ever the subway is above ground

1.5mbls when ever I'm outside

1mbps ish in building

All on 3g

But i would go use Verizon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 30Glock:
I get 2.5 mbps in NYC but that is at 3 am. other wise i get between 1-2 mbps. I am also fed up. TMO has a new unlimited no throttle for about 80 per month..My co-worker speed on tmo is 10-14 mbps....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] livito:
I am starting to think that my phone is broken, because on cloudy days I dont get reception inside buidings, I serious, I am having a bad experience with sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Iphony89:
Been hearing that we should be getting lte soon in NYC, but even then that is probably gonna be spotty at best...I had T-Mobile for a long time and never had any issues speed wise, and its fairly cheap, do some research on their new unlimited plan if you can't wait.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Isn't slightly over 2mbps the max for 3G speeds? If you're getting consistently over 1, I wouldn't complain. There are plenty of people elsewhere getting a fraction of that...like 10% of that.

I'd be thrilled with consistent 1-1.5mbps 3G speeds. I'm around Chicago, so LTE is in a few places which is nice, but I'm excited about when they finally upgrade the backhaul for 3G so the speeds will be better.

As for the OP, I would also try changing modems as well, see if some of them work better. Check with other NYC people and see what they're using. Modem can have a HUGE impact on speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] diazf09:
Usually here that from sprint users. Some seem to conform. Others like me who tried sprint realize that's not the 3G full potential.

So I rather pay less for tmobile And get awesome speeds. IMHO
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Green Ranger:
Mark's ollars

Having tried Att and Sprint....I got pretty $hitty coverage with both and this was living in the Bay Area.

For my previouscontract, I selected ATT based on reading the online reviews about them having absolute the fastest service. What the reviews didnt mention was that I couldnt get ATT service 10% of the time which got annoying real fast.

When it works...ATT and Sprint work great....but the 10% of the time you don't get connection, you'll wish you went with Verizon. They might be a tad slower based on the bandwidth test results online...but at least the coverage is more consistent
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] livito:
I will try changing modems, and see if I can get a better reception, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I don't mean Sprint 3G, I mean the technology limitations themselves. Even if I hop onto Verizon's network with a 3G PRL, I don't ever remember seeing anything over 2mpbs. I have plenty of friends and co-workers who have Verizon and I've never seen anything over that on any of their phones either.

Is it more of a CDMA/GSM 3G thing? Is GSM 3G faster than what you could get on a CDMA network?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Gsm carriers use a backhauled network capable of much faster speeds ....at least on speedtests

Sprint is implementing backhaul tech over the next year or so.

On 3g (hspa+) I have seen as much as 12mbps down but average 3-5 . This is on our att phones.

Funny thing is though side by side we did some comparisons last year and web pages actually loaded slower on attempt s2 vs sprint s2 .. we never really found an explanation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:
Have you considered forcing the phone to roam and having Sprint cancel your contract due to that? They shouldn't charge a ETF for that either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 30Glock:
Great way to get out of this miserable non existing service.. In NYC I can get between 1-3 mbps, this is acceptable to me, however where I live sprint is unusable 12kb D/L up does not exist. I called to complain and their attitude was pay the 350 ETF and you can leave.....Well I'm leaving w/o paying this fee..Thank you Roam Control....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] contradude:
Put a post on the marketplace offering to let another user assume responsibility for the contract. I know i would have considered a cheap s3 that way earlier
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
Sprint is actually getting better. With the softbank deal, Sprint controls a majority of the lte footprint. They are also getting an $8 billion cash infusion that will help them finish building out their lte footprint faster and at a higher quality. I know a few people that work for Sprint corporate. They have big plans and are actually executing those plans

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sabunimwil:
I'm near Baltimore and over the past 11 years have had Verizon, ATT, T-mo, and Sprint. Each provider had pros and cons. I eventually stuck with Sprint (6 years now). They are the most reliable and ever present. Not the fastest but the only time I've been without service is in the Shenandoah mountains south of us where there is no service coverage by anyone. Sprint has addressed every problem I've ever had as long as I was patient with the rep. Oh wait I was patient with the reps from every provider and they bent over backwards to help me. A Sprint rep have my wife an iPhone for $25 during her last upgrade. We presented then with a problem on our bill and they hooked us up with the phone and fixed the bill.

I don't think any service provider is going to be perfect in all situations. I myself would pick reliable over fastest speed.

Just my opinion but stick it out things are changing with Sprint.

Anyone know how I can test the LED to see if it's broken or if it's just disabled from my recent flash to JB RC3?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluGuy:
Which led? The camera leds or the notification led? For the camera download a flashlight app. If it is the notification led then turn off phone and plug it in. If I am not mistaken the rom doesn't control that led when the phone is switched off. Or you can backup your current rom and install another.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocj:
Hm, good point. Didn't think to check while it was plugged in. The notification LED does work while it is plugged in. But again, it doesn't turn on for any message notifications (text, email, calendar, etc).

Many thanks for all your replies. After going to my external memory card and finding the relevant mp3 files and ticking them, I did eventually find the copy button. It was then an easy task to paste them in to my notification folder.

Hello XDA members. I'm in a little bit of a pickle and would like to know what you would do in my situation. I currently have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. The device was emitting that weird popping noise from the speaker (as has been noted in many forums) so i called verizon for a replacement. They offered me the Pebble Blue Galaxy S3 after a bit of negotiating. I do love the Nexus line and am currently a modder (running CM10 nightly at moment) however the S3 Camera and battery life performance has attracted me. Is there any reason i should keep the Nexus and just get a direct replacement instead of S3? (I do plan on getting the next Nexus when it comes out.) Or should i replace it with the S3 Verizon has offered (along with concerns of screen cracking, case cracking but better battery life, camera etc.) I just want some of your guys' great insight. What would you do? Thanks.
