[Nexus S General] OnlySkills:
Okay I'm not favouring iOS or anything and no I'm not jumping on their wagon, and I am also not hating on Android's customization/community. I've had my Nexus S for almost 1.5 years now and I still believe it's not outdated (great camera, front-facing camera, good screen, good touch sensor)

I appreciate that Android lets its customers customize the phones more than Apple. But what about the 'majority' who don't root or install 3rd party keyboards, etc. and like to run stock? I for one am running stock and native since I believe it should give the best performance as it is made by the manufacturer. But I'm not getting that! There are the red flags going off.

Additionally, when I was referring to iOS, I mean to say mainly iPhone 4 and up. The iPhone 3 was quite bad (although still better than android at that point in time). But with iOS 5/6, sure it takes away user customization, but the majority does not anyway - they just use their phone for their intended purposes and yet experience difficulties? That's a no no. However, ONE thing I do enjoy is widgets over having iOS.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Plenty of people dont run stock as per your definition. Plenty of people use or at least tried different keyboards / launchers / messaging apps etc

Root is not required and installing those apps is no different then installing any other app like Pandora. They are also often editors choice and top selling / top free apps in the play store. People know about them and use them. You don't need a to be a hardcore user to know about and use them.

People actually do change up there apps all the time and on all platforms. Its like saying people with a iPhone shouldn't use instagram because the phone comes with a camera application out the box.

Bottom line is if the user has a option to try different apps they will. Especially if its easy for the average user to install like a normal app. Imagine for a second if winterboard was freely available in the app store and functioned the same way it does on a jail broken device. I'd bet within 24 hrs it would become the most popular app in the app store. Your argument just seems silly to me. People will and do change things are freely and easily changed
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Wonderfully said.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Another tiny bit to add on to my previous point.

The focal point of apples marketing strategy used to be " there is a app for that". Of course this is after they decided to even include a store. Who can forget the air traffic controller getting the weather from his iPhone?

But this doesn't seem to apply to things apple thinks its users shouldn't change.

What are you going to use your nexus to do as you write it has a hard time using jelly bean? - I my self have not got complications - I think I have used jelly bean nearly from when it was free - and I for my part - find it fast and free from lack - it play film - I read a lot news on it - it is very nice to read ebooks - see tv - you name it - ok - I do not use it for play - as all play for me are more or less the same - but ells I injoy jelly bean on my nexus s
[Nexus S General] OnlySkills:
I don't understand, you're going off on apps when I am not talking about customization. I am just talking about the performance of the phone and the bugs it has. Let me be specific - as I unlock my phone, i swipe through home screens = lag. I open my camera, it takes a while at times = lag. I scroll through a list, and it lags on me. Even though it is minuscule Google needs to clean it up, since I never see it on an iOS device which is a fair comparison as it is the leading competitor.

I am not talking about apps or anything, I think we and everyone has already established that it has more customization. I know most users have 'tried' some customizable app that is not available to iOS but that is no excuse for the actual performance bugs it has. I don't play games (like rarely maybe) on the phone and don't have a huge load of apps installed either. Things just aren't nifty..and it is taking them years to get it right but they'd rather focus on other feature additions which also work poorly.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
You are the one who brought up that entire what about the majority of the people out there that don't run third party keyboards etc.

You brought it up. I said it was rubbish.

Android has always been laggy compared to iOS. Apple did a good job with that from the beginning.

The majority of your op is simply not worthy of responding to. Actually I re read it just now and I consider it all entirely flame bait/ trolling. You joined the forum 3 days prior to that as well. Not bothering with that type of silly debate/flaming.

Your 2nd post in the thread actually had something I felt was worth giving a legit response to.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
It can be due to Google not paying enough attention to this device, however, I urge you to try new phones like the Nexus and this upcoming LG Nexus. For me, Jelly Bean have been smooth all the way through. Lag is inevitable on this device due to its old single core cpu.

We are atleast fortunate to retain nearly all the features from the latest Android version, Apple withheld features from old phones on purpose so you have to buy their newest and most expensive device.
[Nexus S General] jk0l:
fruit-phone doesn't lag and doesn't have freezes!?!?

Oh ***** please.

I don't know about the new one, and don't give a bit of a damn about it.

(My hatred toward the fruit has truth and is reasonable. And that's for another thread in another time.)

But the 4 and 4S does freeze from time to time.

If you never experienced it, it means either you're not really using the phone as a smartphone, or the apps you run into are well optimized.

And apps on Android are not well optimized because devs treat Android like a third class citizen.

(If you think devs behave so because fragmentation, check out my other thread.)

And if you have one to play with, try to turn it off completely for a min or so, then turn it back on and go to settings, or swipe to the search page.

Tell me it doesn't lag for a sec or feel a bit jerking.

Besides, NS hardware is dated. In fact, NS is somewhat equivalent to the 3GS level, and Galaxy Nexus is to the 4.

Now tell me how is the 3GS running whatever latest OS version available for it. (Fragmentation!?!? LOL)

In Android world, hardware is very crucial because the OS does a lot of real/complex tasks.

And hardware needs to catch up with the rapid development.

Also, ICS is the beginning of a defined Android that has a focusing direction.

Everything else before kinda feels like a build-up, a sketchy base.

So, in other words, JB is somewhat considered in progress of maturing and polishing.

Damn. I bit the bait of a troll.

[Nexus S General] stevencpoynter:
The winds of change are a blowin

Apple isn't as in control as they would lead everyone to believe. The writing is on the wall and with each new iPhone it is becoming more blatant.

I don't think I need to go any further
[Nexus S General] Felipe Ambrosio:
This guy actually has a point. iDevices DO lag sometimes, and you should only put equivalent devices side by side.

I had hands on an iPod touch 4th generation the other day, running iOS 6 (I know, it's not a phone, bla bla). It's still released after the NS, but there was not much a difference comparing the OS smootheness, iOS being just a bit faster sometimes. It's far from perfection. It did lag most of the times when scrolling to the search screen, that Game Center is the buggiest s**t I've ever seen since my Windows Mobile, I struggled hard to create an Apple ID through the iOS, and it did take a while for the content to appear under the settings app (for example), just like on our Androids. Also, s-amoled > retina imho.

One thing is true: apple makes the OS for people who don't have time to stay in forums writing big posts, and downloading and flashing ROMs and kernels and patches and etc. It has always been like that and probably always will. Me included, so yeah, I'd definately like to have iOS instead of Android.

Also, iOS' apps are usually much much better built than Android's. Take Facebook app for example. It just sucks on Android. I couldn't believe when I firstly tried it on the iPod touch. So fast and smooth. Take a look at the iOS system apps. You don't have to look up and download hundreds of weird and ugly apps to perform simple tasks like playing movies or reading books. They are just there, out of the box, they look great and they perform great. They take care of the details. I know, Android is going for it with the Play Store, but so far, we only have Play Music here in Brazil, and still with not many settings and no cloud support. With the iPod, I just plugged in, synced all my songs in less than 2 hours (better than the 4h my slow usb transfer asked for the NS), and found many more settings.

But wait, there is only one recent device running iOS, and it's more expensive Google's top device, which runs Android with no problems at all.

Congratulations, you just made an arse of yourself. He isn't behaving like a fanboy at all, all points he made are valid. And I mean "all", maybe you should read his post again. All you did is declaring yourself as a fandroid.

yeah i know it.

but look at his join date on xda.

why should he make a new account just to post a thread like this.

if he likes to complaining android at all so he can just buy a new device without android and ..... see you soon.

as simple as that.

i think its google concept to make a largest free community in this smartphone era.

so they do the things that he mention above.

it not easy as building on single device platform.

and that's what xda community are for.

to make this all much more better.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kathees:
Hi Guys,

Every time I tried to understand the android partitions I get more confuse. Let me clear my doubts. These are based on CyanoGenMod 9/10 and Galaxy S I9000 ....

This is how the partition exists in CyanoGenMod.....

We have a very fast NAND which is 512MB. This memory shared between /cache, /system, /datadata, /modem etc.

Then we have a flash memory which is either 8GB or 16 GB. This one partitioned into 2.

2GB for /data

6GB or 14GB for /sdcard

Question 1

So normally all your Apps are installed into the /data partition?

Question 2

In that case can I say MoveToSD means moving the Apps to the /sdcard partion?

Question 3

I noticed that for each application I move to SD I see a entry in "/mnt/asecure" . What's the use of it?

Last week I bought a Galaxy S3 because I thought I need a hardware beast. (I was really enjoying and still enjoying the Galaxy S with Cyanogen) And using "df" commands partitions are as follows....

/dev 896M 84K 896M 4096

/mnt/asec 896M 0K 896M 4096

/mnt/obb 896M 0K 896M 4096

/efs 19M 4M 15M 4096

/cache 1007M 17M 990M 4096

/system 1G 1G 463M 4096

/data 11G 4G 6G 4096

/firmware 199M 45M 154M 4096

/tombstones 251M 18M 233M 4096

/storage/sdcard0 10G 4G 6G 4096

/mnt/asec/ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid-1 4M 2M 1M 4096

/mnt/asec/com.disney.brave_google-1 26M 25M 1M 4096

/mnt/asec/com.touchtype.swiftkey-1 14M 10M 3M 4096

Question 4

Can someone explain this partition? why the /data shows as 11GB. And /sdcard0 is 10GB. I'm not quite sure my phone is 16GB model and it's not possible to have that much memory for /data.

Question 5

In this layout when I install Apps where it will get installed? I haven't root it yet so I cannot test.

Question 6

In this layout what is the meaning of MoveToSd could be? Samsung removed that option but I believe somehow it gets applied. Because I have plenty of Apps installed but some apps have a "mnt/asec" entry similar to Android secure. So is it similar are these apps get moved to /sdcard0 partition.

I'm developing some apps at the same time I'm trying to understand the core concepts with Android. Any guideline will be helpful and I really appreciate the replies. Thanks in advance....
