[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
You're gonna regret that.

I have a gnex, bought an S3 thinking it was the sh*t, now I'm selling it and going back to the gnex and bought myself a nexus 7.

I never should have left the nexus community.

Project butter doesn't work on the S3, Samsung won't release sources for the exynos processor so the cm team can't get project butter to work on cm either.

Codeworx is leaving, gokhanmoral is leaving and more.

Great devs leaving because Sammy are dicks.

Anyone else thinking of leaving for the S3 my advice is don't bother.

International version, should have said that earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
ive used the gs3 plenty, not an upgrade imo. maybe if it was as wide open and available as the nexus it could be. its potential is there tho, hopefully it gets reached
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
So I guess we'll see you in about 2mths after the nexuses are released ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You'll be back.... for the LG Nexus.

yyz71 pretty much said what I said.

Don't understand why OP did that but oh well, he'll regret it. His decision, GL with the S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I understand that Nexus people are going to love Nexuses. But if you look at it from my perspective, it makes sense. First of all, there's still tons of developers like incubus, morfic, imo, etc. I like Nature UX. The VZW S3 does not use an Exynos Processor. AOSP ROMs are nearing completion, TW is stable. Battery life is fantastic, along with performance, same with the screen. I'm sorry, but you can't convince me that it isn't an upgrade. The LG Nexus is awesome looking, except if Google has half a brain, they won't let VZW get their hands on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
None of the US S3 use exynos, so for once we can't blame VZW, and it makes the comment difficult to comprehend.

That said, sgs3 is a nice phone, but I much prefer TW over CMIX or CMX.

By far.

An upgrade over the nexus prime? Big time. For gamers maybe even more than me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think he was saying it doesn't use Exynos, so AOSP is near completion.

Thats what I took from it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
If AOSP ROMs were completed and I felt development could be at least 3/4 what it is here, I might have considered a switch, but nah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
I had the chance to get it upgrade price... couldn't do it. Touchwiz is just glitter and butterflies. Sorry. Its crap. Your only hope is for Frankenstein'd aosp ROMs which is alright... but its not the same experience as on the nexus.

Anyways to the OP have fun enjoy the phone I hope you like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
TW makes me cry.

It'd be hard to leave this phone behind anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
Why downgrade from Galaxy Nexus to SGS 3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ieatnoobs:
Bye.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
I did the switch from the GNex to the GSiii and I honestly don't regret it. In love my screen size and it looks beautiful. The home button isn't such a big deal. I'm able to turn off the menu and back button so you can't eben tell they're there. I really fast running PsranoidAndroid with lean kernel. I've had this phone since sept 5 and I've loved it. Oh yea, my data speeds are a lot better too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:
Thats were the problem lies, if i buy something that is on paper newer and better, and then i have to tweak the hell out of it to make it acceptable, well maybe i can just hang on to my nexus until a newer and better nexus comes along. Enjoy your s3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mediocrates:

Do you think the SGS 3 is better than the Galaxy Nexus? I certainly don't.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piscesjoey:
Had a chance to grab a GS3 using my upgrade, but after using a Evo 3D & E4GT for the past year, my patience has worn short with these OEM's & how they can take their time to push out updates & make you go out & buy their latest & greatest if you want the latest update, so I got me a GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Its camera alone makes me say yes. That camera is great this camera... is so so. Their processor is outstanding... this one blows. The battery life on that phone is much greater than this one. On full brightness... 6Hs of web browsing that's ridiculous. Not 6Hrs of looking at a white page... that's active browsing. Would I choose that phone over this one... of course not. But I'm not naive enough to say my phone is better.. because let's face it .. its not. Doesnt mean I don't love my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Amen to that:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
the kid probably never owned a nexus before and just got all of us to go into a s3 vs nexus bashing thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
Indeed.

I've got a GNex and my GF has an SGS3.

There is no denying whatsoever that the SGS3 hardware is better in every conceivable way, except for maybe the appearance of the thing (I do prefer the Gnex to look at).

However, the software on the GNex is what makes it my favorite of the two. But I just don't like TouchWiz. Don't get me wrong, its not bad, but its just the appearance of it, so ugly, no refinement at all. I also happen to think phones should at least roughly comply with Google's software button layout; I don't like the lack of dedicated task switching button on the S3, or the iPhone esque home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Only the most jaded Nexians can say the GS3 hardware isn't superior. There is simply no doubt that it is. My point of never upgrading is that it wasn't a big enough step forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
I don't know why everyone thinks our processor is so bad
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think the SoC overall is fail, but the processor itself isn't.that.bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
I have both S3 and GNex and I like both, but S3 can play .flv and memory card support gains me a bit more favor while GNex does not have "IQ".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You must have a Sprint GS3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
So far they dont look to impressive IMO. Hard to beat what we already have. I wont be switching from the current Nexus anytime soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I think the OMAP SoCS are the best out of last generation.

I really want to see an OMAP5 in a phone soon.

However, the hardware is what makes the S3 so nice and future proof, not software.

AOSP on the S3 will never be as nice as ours based on other devices' history of AOSP ROMs being ported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
In the end, the GSIII has far superior hardware, but when a new version of Android comes out I will have it right away compared to 2 or 3 months later. That's what matters to me.

Continue on everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'am afraid it's never gonna happen, TI withdrew from cell phone market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:
Better hardware comes out almost daily, just not that earth shattering anymore. Better software released to support that hardware properly? I think we know the proper direction, don't we?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
The mobile SoC improves at such a rate it is astounding.

On the desktop we have Intel and its yearly tick tock. Look at how much performance goes up per year since c2d came out. Mobile just crushes it in comparison.

The SoC on the gnex has a ancient GPU. Same GPU as the galaxy s one, That is its issue. That's why the s4 pro is so good. Its GPU. Yes it has four krait cores but its the new adreno that is the key.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
S4 Krait is too much said. Mali 400 in Galaxy S2 outperforms clearly PowerVR SGX540. GPU on OMAP 4460 was considered kinda obsolete even in 2011.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Yet, I still haven't found a game that doesn't run beautifully on it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I believe you, I don't play games almost at all. TIOMAP is enough for me. Although I find it quite irritating sometimes when I cannot apply LWP cos it lags as hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lsv-1:
I had a GS3 before my GNex, yes the hardware is better, but the pure google experience is a totally different story, I wouldn't change my GNex for a thousand GS3s, GNex runs waaay smoother compared with my old GS3, project butter ruleeeees!

Sent from my Nexus Prime JB 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Which actually isn't the GPU. The epic 4G doesn't lag on live wallpapers... the same ones the gnex lags on. Same GPU... and the epic is at 200mhz not 307 and still handles LWP better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lsv-1:
Not everybody uses the phone for games, in my opinion the gpu of the gnex performs good. We are talking about the nexus experience here.

If you want to play, use a PSVita :)

Sent from my Nexus Prime JB 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
So where is the problem (I am not trying to challenge you, I just want to hear your opinion)? It's definitely not a software (we have the best aosp experience ever, the lightest stock rom on the android phones market), it's not a screen resolution, 1gb ram. OMAP 4 even if it's not considered the best it's still pretty decent piece of hw, why does it lag so badly on LWP then?

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Who said I use it for games? If I used it for games i would definitely go for exynos or s4 krait. Please read my next post, so we can avoid such misunderstandings in future. I don't play games at all. Just because I wrote that Mali 400 outperforms PowerVR it doesn't mean that I think that the latter sucks. U don't have to remind me about Nexus experience. I know exactly what I traded my S2 for :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Indirectly it is the GPU, due to the resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Yeah that just clicked... :o it is the GPU because of the resolution sorry. That slipped my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The problem with the S3 and others is happening right now. We are already at 4.1.2 and the other guys are struggling to catch up. Even when you get a successful port, it will never run as well as on a Nexus device without the help of the manufacture updating stuff on their end.

When the S3 came out it really seemed like a good competitor with the GNex but a few months roll by and we just keep on going. Same thing happens with KeyLimePie when we're strolling pretty while they continue to struggle getting it to boot.

The Nexus One was my first personal Android phone, followed by the LG G2x and Galaxy Nexus. I'm not saying staying at the same OS version forever is a bad thing, but I feel that ANYONE visiting XDA is here for a specific reason and you don't really get that with other phones. My buddy absolutely loves the Galaxy Line and currently has the S3. He loves it and it is a super nice phone. I probably would hate it since I like to flash and tinker so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NaterTots:
I've the Evo 4G lte. I think its a great phone. Superb battery life but aosp still doesn't run without bugs. The developers work incredibly hard and its truly appreciated.

but my Gnex has no issues. I prefer to use it and look forward to klp.

Heck even my wife is running jb on her nexus s. It goes fairly well too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
at first I thought you were trolling....

Then I saw that. Well yeah, that all makes sense now. Of course you hate your Nexus. You're on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
With the CM team apparently leaving the Exynos line it makes me wonder
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I have a 3rd party micro usb cable, it's 6 ft. For the most part it works good except in 2 apps, namely Bad Piggies HD and Modern Combat 3, when I play them while plugged in with this cable I slowly start to lose battery. Like after playing for 10 or perhaps 15 minutes, the battery drains a few percent, but it has been "charging" the whole time.

When I realized this on MC3, I tried plugging in the [short] Asus Micro USB cable, and it no longer drained any battery.

So my question is, are these 3rd party cables just cheap, and can't transmit the 2A over the +/- 5V wires? Is it transmitting something like 1.x amps, and that's why the battery will slowly drain?

Next, what about extension cables? I bought a 6 foot USB 3.0 extension back when I had an Asus Transformer because that short was terribly short. [I got 3.0 because the charger needs the extra 3.0 pins because the transformer grounds a certain pin, and it knows to give it 12V instead of 5V]

When I used my 3.0 extension cable + Asus micro cable, it didn't seem to drop any battery so I'm assuming that the 3.0 cable worked because of the better quality wires.

The problem though is that the 3.0 cable is extremely fat, maybe it's just the cable I bought, or maybe USB 3.0 are just fatter than 2.0? I sure hope not..

But the extra fatness weighs the cord down, so that it's heavier, and I don't want the heavier cord.

I want to be able to use a usb 2.0 extension cable, because I need an extension cord because I want to enable OTG + charging with a micro usb OTG and a USB Y cable, but a standard Y cable is not long enough so that I need a extension cord, but the 3.0 extension I have now is fat [and thus heavier].

So the bottom line: Can I use a 2.0 extension cable to correctly deliver 2A to my N7 to charge correctly?

And if it can, is it only specific brands [name brand cables?] or did I just get bad luck with the 2.0 extension cord I have now [that slowly loses battery while "charging" and using demanding apps]? Or was it too long? I think it also is 6 feet.. I almost need the 6 feet, because 3 feet is usually too short.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Google recently announced an Android event for October 29th. What do you guys expect to see? LG's long-awaited Nexus phone, a Sony nexus, upgraded version of Google Now, a 32 GB version of the Nexus 7, or the Nexus 10?

Don't know what else to write. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
I hope to see all of the above in the bajillion threads already dedicated to them =D I can forgive you if you post some credible leaks on said devices though, especially the Sony Nexus.
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
It's the slogan they released the Nexus 7 with so probably nothing "new". Maybe a 32gb model and price drop for the 16 and 8gb.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MisterEdF:
I'm lookimg for that as well. The "unofficial leaked" Samsung rom has that feature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I could possibly create an app for this. If you change the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to read only, they stay on. But when you shut the screen off the lights shut off, but when you turn the screen back on, they stay off and never come on. So if i created an app to right a value of 1 to the brightness file then change the permission to read only after receiving the screen on broadcast, it should work.

Only issue is, i just reinstalled windows. NOTHING is set up yet other than basic drivers so it might take some time unless someone else has the ability to create it.

That sounds great. No real hurry its more of a quality of life improvement for me. If you or anyone wants to definitely let me know I and I'm sure many others, would greatly appreciate it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rub504:
I got this phone 3 weeks ago and loving it so far. This replaced my x10. Well we're half ways through the month and I have used 2.44 gigs of internet out of my 3 gb a month plan. What the heck is going on. I haven't been using it heavily. Just watch couple of Youtube videos but not 2.44 gb worth. Does ICS OS really use this much bandwith? I had upgraded my 2 gb a month to a 3 gb and it is bs. I hardly went over the 2 gb I had on my x10.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rub504:
I wish ATT had unlimited internet. My phone doesn't have Pandora so it can't be that. I do watch Youtube videos on HD but I used to watch HD videos on my x10 and hardly went over. Auto updating is off for the apps. I did turn off my everything off under Location services. Maybe it was that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
From Sept 18 to Oct 18 ive used less then one of 3 gigs just streaming Pandora everyday like 2-4 hours a day
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marine417:
i still have my unlimited data from att from almost a decade ago. which really isn't unlimited because they throttle the hell out of me when i hit the "cap" they throttle my data to like low end dsl speed... like 25kb down and less than half of that up... not fun... with a 3g phone the cap is at 3gb and with lte the cap is bumped up to 5gb. my billing cycle ends in a few days and im averaging like 4.25 and 4.5gb since i got my ion. cutting it close but i have like everything turned on that uses data at the fastest intervals and i always watch youtube videos in hd.

but, i would suggest turning off those auto update apps. weather widgets, facebook, email... basically any app which you can control the updates with and select manual so that it only updates when you select it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panicc.co:
It must be your location services and GPS . Or facebook ,g+, Twitter.

All of these constantly update via internet or send data. I would suggest turning off data when you are not using it to prevent apps updating while they are not in Use.

I has this problem with my arc, I went through 5.5 GIGS in a week this was due to facebook, Timescape, chatr. This is the original reason I started modding and development ony arc was to either stop this or delete the apps responsilble for it.

Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coogrrr94:
This is a link to a youtube video (my first) I just posted. I think it's a pretty cool feature of my S3. A member of AVS Forums shared an app with me called Samsung Smart View, it wasn't available in the Play Store at the time and I still don't think it is. In July I purchased a Samsung PN60E7000 and got the S3 on launch day. I was looking for an app that would mirror the phone on the TV screen like the Allshare Cast Dongle but it wasn't available at the time. This does the mirroring in reverse, shows TV content on the phone instead and allows the phone to be used as a remote for the tv.

Anyway, thought I would share. If this is old news, sorry.
