[Nexus S General] pmdisawesome:
I am owning a Galaxy Nexus right now but I decided to keep the Nexus S. It is still super smooth and the screen is beautifulll (I use the Korean Version)

Every Nexus is worth buying, the design is awesome and the software is super smooth. Google still does the job best

So go for it!
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
That's it I'm getting the Nexus 4 :D damned great price :D
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
I don't think I'm going to regret passing up the Galaxy S2 to get the Nexus S. I'm coming from an HTC Liberty, so this will be an upgrade either way. If I sign a new contract and get an S3 (or Nexus 4), I'm going to lose nationwide unlimited data. So I certainly don't mind buying an unlocked phone at $200 to keep that clause in my contract... I just want to make sure it's a decent phone.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
I think I will too after selling off some of my current phones. I never expected the price to be this good. I was thinking $599 to $649, but I can definitely live with some of the short coming at this price. Especially its still pentaband is great news. Looks like they are selling it at a loss.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Not a loss. Cheaper than other phones that have a higher profit margin, but that doesn't mean a loss.

The cost of materials in smart phones is not more than 299 and 349 price tag they are charging.

Expect a smaller profit margin per device but not a loss

[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Can someone please share screenshots of the Nexus 4 page on the Play Store site? Can't view devices in India :/
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:

[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Thanks :) can you post a screen of the Phone's page also?
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
Sort of wished I had waited before pulling the trigger on the eBay auction for the Nexus S at $175... oh well!
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Phone page.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
Well I do know the iPhone5 material is cheaper to produce than the iPhone 4S, which was around $180. Then there is the packaging and distribution, R&D, advertisement, and whatever revenue shared between Google and LG I don't know how that works, and the $15 Microsoft royalty tax, I know not paid directly by Google, but it has to be in there somewhere in the end I think. But again they aren't making hardware, but selling contents, but what's the profit for LG in it? Maybe they can add an option to donate $5 to the chinese slave that put together each phone.
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
Analysts have already said Google is selling this as a "zero" leader - they will break even on units.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Analyst = lame tech bloggers that don't know jack.
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
No - these were business analysts.
[Nexus S General] rj88:
it's a great idea to sell the nexus devices at a cost or at a loss because of all the android devices to compete against. They'll make their money back through all of their play services.
[Nexus S General] wchrisyu:
I'm going to keep my Nexus S until it chokes and splutters like my G1 did on Gingerbread.

Then I'll upgrade to whatever is newest and ride that a few years until it chokes on whatever is released.

If I want gaming, an LCD projector and Xbox are in my living room.

I've enjoyed the "experience" 1.5 through 4.1.2 on just 2 phones.

It's been a lot more exciting and entertaining than watching the iPhone creep along doing it's thing, or the Windows Phone try to decide where it fits as a corporate (no wait FUN) device.

I don't see any real reason to contemplate a Galaxy Nexus or a Nexus 4 until I see the end of what a Nexus S can do.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Just noticed it doesn't have 4G. Doesn't matter here anyways :P
[Nexus S General] qaz2453:
+1 I don't care for 4G :)

Just rolled out in UK and the price plans are STUPIDLY expensive :eek:
[Nexus S General] DeerSteak:
It doesn't have LTE, but it can do up to 21mbit/sec over HSDPA+ which is plenty for me. Where I live, there's no LTE for T-Mobile or ATT, and I only pull around 3mbit/sec as it is. Then again I don't live in a big metropolitan area or in the city.

I'm also thinking that shortly after the Nexus 4 starts shipping that I'll be able to get a great deal on a GNexus.
[Nexus S General] Nurilio:
Nexus 4 looks sweet, and the price is absurd low. A question tough is it possible to order from US google play and ship to Europe when it goes on sale?
[Nexus S General] Cuyi02:
It'll be on sale on November 13th in the US, the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia. If you don't live in one of those 4 European countries, get it from their Play Store instead ;)
[Nexus S General] JavaJunkay:
My question is:

- Sell Nexus S and buy Nexus 4 with that money + some extra

- Keep Nexus S and buy Nexus 7 with that extra budget
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Hehe, I'm in the same "dilemma". If NS gets 4.2 there's not much gain to switch phones - yet.
[Nexus S General] ej8989:
if N4's gonna be compatible with voodoo sound i'll get it.
[Nexus S General] lurtis:
You know I'm wondering the same thing... I see all the other specs except what kind of dac it has... I personally love my nxs for its awesome sound quality (makes my headphones BUMP!) and I hope they continue the awesome sound... The Gnex doesn't even compare
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
The small amount of money you would get for the NS isn't worth selling it.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
At least N10 has it, but no news about N4. Wonder what audio is in LG Optimus G, must be similar.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
+1 my nexus S isnt going anywhere I'll find some use for it that would be more useful than the low price I'll get by selling it.

Oh damn, N10. Nice.

[Nexus S General] eksasol:
You know what I thought I was going to get the LG Nexus on day one release, but after the post by AdamOutler: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nexus-4-battery-shot-reveals-potential-quality-issues/

I might wait for other people to get it and see if there are any issues. Some of the points he mentioned I actually agree it, since I have opened various Samsung devices with design features he mentioned, while he state the LG Nexus lacking them. I know this is over speculation, however, I bought the S3 when it was new and regretted buying it for its poor build quality. People are going crazy selling their Galaxy Nexus for super cheap now, so if the LG Nexus turn out to have issues, I might just repurchase the Galaxy Nexus instead for $200 or something. My last Galaxy Nexus I dropped it a few times without a case and still manage to sell it in mint condition.
[Nexus S General] ubnub82:
Wait till SGS4. Thats what i'm doing since Nexus 4 won't have LTE.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Well regarding the alleged superior NASA quality Galaxy Nexus, I regretfully spent an arm and a leg to import an unlocked Galaxy Nexus when it was released, and less than one month later the screen spider-cracked all over the whole screen after I dropped in from about 3 feet on to tile.

Also, the battery cover on the Galaxy Nexus is far from well designed. I got a friend to convert to Android when the Galaxy Nexus was released, unfortunately he was on Verizon and got that version and has had a lot of issues with it. The most recent being that the phone would turn off by itself when it was in his pocket. It turns out that the battery was moving around because of a poor tolerance or deformed battery cover and he was able to fix it by shoving a piece of tape/paper in between the cover and the battery to hold everything still. The chances of warped parts and parts going out of tolerance over time seems much greater with a removable battery cover. This guys analysis of at least the battery mounting portion seems off.

I do like Samsung but am looking forward to a Nexus manufactured by someone else. Hopefully the Nexus 4 from LG will not disappoint.

[Nexus S General] kwabby:
I am not sure how someone can review the internals of a device from a picture, average users are not going to be servicing their device by themselves, and who cares about LTE (the same people complaining about LTE are the same people who complain when their carrier don't update their software). the greatest thing we have going for us in the Android world is the unlimited choices of devices, this is not same size fits all, get something else and move on.

I for one I'm going to order one from the first day, i like the fact that I can travel all over the world (London and Ghana) and still use my device. I'm not sure why you will want to pay $200 for last year tech whilst you can get this year tech for $100 more. Like I said thank goodness we have choices, now chose!

Thanks

Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4

I saw a rumor about a Galaxy Nexus 2 - with a better camera and a micro SD slot!!

Still - the Nexus 4 8Gig is only $300 - but no removable battery, no micro SD slot :mad:

I currently have a Nexus S, but Jelly Bean is starting to demand too much of this little 1Ghz processor.

What to do.... :confused:
[Nexus S General] yahyoh:
Damn that sucks :(

Even the N4 cam seems so crappy :(

[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
I just got my Nexus S in the mail today ($120 purchase)... and I think it's a decent phone, but it does show it's age (slow on some apps, etc.).

But the Nexus 4 is not the best phone to get right now either.

I'd wait for the next generation Nexus to make the leap.
[Nexus S General] apatal:
Any particular reason you decided against getting a GNex instead of the older Nexus S ?

Posted using xda mobile app
[Nexus S General] Cuyi02:
I got my NS in March. I didn't get a GNex cause I felt it was too big. It's kind of ironic that I'm getting the N4 now lol.
[Nexus S General] kwabby:
I just pick up the Nexus 7 yesterday and this thing is fast, makes my Nexus S looks real slow, I could not believe the lag on our aging beloved phone and the screen looks tiny too; like the saying goes a fish in a pond does not know the ocean!
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
Mostly price - I got a better deal on the Nexus S over the Galaxy. I did some comparisons on size and reported battery life too, and felt the Nexus S was better. I'll use it for the next 8-10 months, and then see what is on the market.

is it that hard to put wolfson DACs inside phones nowadays?

i'll wait for the next nexus with wolfson DAC then. i'm really happy with my NS so far :)
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
That was a rumors based upon a picture if a retailer site that read "Scratch guard for Galaxy Nexus 2". It believe it just meant another type of scratch guard for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
Looks like I'll skip the Nexus4, just bought a GNex for $200. Guess I'll wait for next year when the Nexus4 drop price due to a new Nexus. For now Jelly Bean on dual core is fast enough for all my usages.

Only if its going to be made by Apple or Samsung, guess you'll have to wait for a while. Guess you wont consider a Sony Nexus even if they have good sound quality without Wolfson. But when I think Sony I think proprietary so not likely Google will pair with them.

[Nexus S General] ej8989:
Well i was a walkman guy and imo sound produced by sonys are a bit artificial for my taste.

[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
I only need to tweak a few more things on my Nexus S (I've only had it for under two weeks now, and I need to figure out how to get peak/off-peak email syncing to work!) and I'll be happy with it for a bit longer. No sense going to Nexus 4 - it will have a lot of quirks, being the first LG Nexus device...
[Nexus S General] alpha-niner64:
I've learned that you don't need to have a Wolfson DAC to have good sound: just have to know which mods to look for that isn't always named "Voodoo". That said, I do understand the sentiment that I wouldn't even look at a phone if it doesn't have a good DAC, much less a Wolfson DAC. The headphone amp is really where the magic is.

I hope there's worthy successor to these phones that isn't a Note 2 that can provide the complete package or find out a better way to get better sound from our phones.

Hi all,

There are two lights here....left is my notification light....the right one is a red light which is the second circle or lenses look like thingy to the left of the front camera lense....and can only be seen easily in the dark, but I'm pretty sure it stay lit in the light too.

My question is: is that lense suppose to be lit up with red light the whole time? Is it the approximity sensor? Does it use that red light to work?

SORRY...THIS MIGHT BE A STUPID QUESTION AFTER ALL...BUT I'M A VERY CURIOUS PERSON. :)

Hello

Can someone kindly tell me what difference does enabling GPU UI rendering make? From the name I can understand that the UI will be rendered using the GPU and not the CPU. But what are the advantages/disadvantages of this? What changes can I expect upon enabling it? And how does it, if at all, affect battery life?

Thanks in advance =)
[Galaxy S III General] zykic:
Most of the apps now use GPU rendering (app packages for ICS, etc). Some apps don't(old apps). Force GPU UI rendering switch forces those apps to use GPU.

Pro. much smoother UI in apps that don't enable GPU rendering by default.

Con. Some visual bug may appear on some apps.
[Galaxy S III General] gannjunior:
and what about battery life?
[Galaxy S III General] _delice_doluca_:
Theory 1; since the GPU is having some work right next to CPU it is an additional burden to battery to feed them both

Theory 2; Since they share the load they both can run at lower clocks so this means less voltage needed. Less voltage means less energy consumed.

So I guess there is no exact way to measure but nowadays most of the apps are already using that option default so it must be a good thing. At least the device does not have to run the CPU at max speed and heat up.

"is not compatible with other applications that use the same shared user id"

Before installation did complete cleaning system and internal and external memory of the phone, its corresponding wipes, reinstall the rom on 2 occasions and the problem continues, eh GooglePlay noticed that comes with version 3.5.17 and is not updated, if manually update it tells me there error certificates and replace it with root explorer the problem continues.

Since this problem does not let me access any Google application, that tells me missing authentication permissions

1) you need to remove the stock apk for gmail from either /system/app folder or /data/app folder depending on rom. Use root explorer to get to the file with gmail logo and delete.

2) reboot phone and place the above provided app (gmail2.apk) in the folder where you removed other version(stock gmail apk in step 1)

3) change permission and check all for read on left column and write on the top in the middle column. Uncheck everything else.

4) after permissions have been changed. Click on the gmail2.apk and install.

5)reboot. All set after that.:)
