The S3 to S4 is a fairly large upgrade compared to the GNEX to N4. The S4 improved on virtually every aspect of the device and even shrunk the dimensions while increasing the screen size. They improved the screen, battery, camera, processor, GPU, ergonomics and added features. How is that a measly upgrade...?

I find it hard to understand that people want a complete overhaul of the devices looks in order for it be considered an "upgrade".

If they were to radically change up the overall look of the S5 people would make a million threads *****ing about the changes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Look at the YouTube clips with s3 an s4 alongside each other going through their paces, only a slight difference in performance an I'm talking milli seconds faster an if you already own a s3 it simply isn't worth upgrading unless you just buy into everything or want a 13 mp camera that means nothing on a 5 inch screen tbh, I rather the updated HTC one over the s4, I think you should at least watch some realife videos or even hold one an you will soon retract everything you just said, it a minor hardware upgrade an new features you mean samsung app bloatware an updated touchwiz that s3 has as well as its getting the 4.2.2 update like s4, 16gb version actually is only 8gb after they put all the samsung crap on it, an micro SD cards won't let you move apps to them only media on the s4, you will have to wait for the 32gb version to have any decent storage for apps, good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I have used the S4 and overall it felt like a snappy device. You can't realistically expect the S4 to open the browser 5 times faster then the S3, we have reached the point in technology where the outgoing tech is already really capable and the new tech will only be a little bit quicker. The 13Mp camera has nothing to do with the screen, the point is those pictures will look great when I view them on a computer, you can't say the same for the HTC One.

We'll use my nexus as an example, it is running the purest android you can get, with basically no added features(bloat) besides the OS(doesn't even have a voice recorder) and it only has 13gb usable space out of the 16gb. The S4 has a bunch of added features (bloat) and practically every app is different from AOSP meaning it has to take up extra space, so your left with 9.72gb as usable space.

But on the S4 you can store pictures/videos/music on your SD card so now the 9.72gb becomes dedicated strictly too apps.

The HTC One has exactly the same issue, on my dad's 32gb One, he only has 25gb of usable space and once he uses that up, he's done...

I am still holding my breath for N5. But with the official support of S4, are we going to see Nexus 5 this year?

I'm for this new google tactic, give all the new flagship phones the option of being a "nexus edition" their hardware is far superior to what the stock nexus phones have on board. Especially cameras and expandable storage. Imagine a HTC One with OS updates, that is a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
Totally man. All you guys should open your eyes and see the genius behind this move. If they can get all the flagships into this project this means you get to choose stock or skinned for ANY phone. And the greatest thing is . if u buy the stock one you can root it and put in the skinned version because development will be easier. And you'll get official timely updates unskinned. That's best of ALL worlds.

+1 ... You don't want stay only on nexus device to get latest updates from Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The S4 is beautiful in its own rite but just because it has stock android doesn't mean its AOSP compatible. The G2x was stock Android and look how that turned out.

I'm pretty sure Google wouldn't have announced it nor would sell it directly if it wasn't though.

It is NOT a nexus though. Maybe similar but not. The nexus phones are announced in Sept/Nov. That is a long time to wait.

I personally love the S4 and if I was in the market, I would probably pick the stock version.

My question would be if it has all the same hardware specs and if it will all be open source. Hopefully this becomes a trend and hopefully manufactures start making their skins as addons. Would be hard to keep up with though across different updates if it were AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
During the keynote, Google used the term "nexus" quite a bit to describe the stock android S4. Sure it may not be officially called a "nexus" but it will be practically the same as one. You will get "fastboot OEM unlock" and fast updates as well. Not sure how else it will differ from an actual nexus device...?

It's probably better that it isn't called the "Nexus S4" as there is now in my opinion a bad connotation associated with the term "nexus". When people hear nexus they think of a cheap subsidized device from Google. I don't think Samsung wants their devices to be considered "cheap" and "low end".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
Yeah actually i belive this is a move from google to atleast start controlling fragmentation in android. The more devices under the control of google the lesser fragmentation. The more stock android phones the better combatability. Google is as sick of fragmentation as we are. They addressed the problem of fragmentation several times during the IO sessions and keynote.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesp4ul:
But i read somewhere that "nexus" S4 is not AOSP, instead a modified UI so it looks like AOSP device, if it's true then we will not see a fully supported aosp rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I saw the conference live, and the guy said that S4 was running the stock android and would get software updates together with other nexus devices so I think it's not entirely true what you read.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
In fact its entirely untrue. The guy not only said it's stock and will get updates "promptly"(Barra's words) , he used the word nexus waaaay too many times for my liking. Like he knew he wasn't going to be held accountable for it. So its definitely aosp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
If I can't relock my device's bootloader, then "it's not a Nexus".

And I would want a Google/Sony collaboration rather than with Samsung.

As for aosp support, we need ALL the binaries, Google, for a 100%, fully functional build. Camera and GPS are also needed!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
Yeah sure. I mean but what's the point for sammy. The nexus family becomes more and more the obvious choice to people now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Not for average consumers. If you have seen the S4 commercial, you will understand that a nexus can't provide the experience shown in that ad. Consumers will see that ad and will automatically want it. The reason the nexus 4 did relatively well (for a nexus device) was the price factor, People were willing to sacrifice some features/hardware in order to get a smartphone for $350.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferozfero:
well that and the first nexus in some time to feature some pretty good specs. Also the google support. But this move by sammy also confuses the average customer. Two samsung galaxy s4s with total different softwares. They ask which has more features , someone says the samsung official one and noone will even care for the play store one. Except the google fans like me. So im just saying although this move makes lottga sense for google it doesnt make sense for sammy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Until someone get their hands on a set..

If memory serve me right, you can't relock the Nexus One's bootloader, but that's HTC..

Most likely you can relock the S4 GE's bootloader..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
Anyone here having issues playing Real Racing 3 while running JB?? Back when I was on ICS, the game ran smoothly and fast, but now on JB for some reason graphics are messed up and audio aswell... The cars look transparent and most transitions lag alot, aswell as music and overall audio... For the graphics, I managed to download an app called Real Racing 3 Graphics and set graphics to medium and that fixed the graphics issues (so much for project butter... and even though i did not have to do this on ICS since it ran perfectly.....??) As for audio, it skips... A LOT!! To the point that you just don't even enjoy the game anymore... It skips as if the phone was running out of memory and you would expect the game to run terribly if you heard it without looking at the screen, but then again when you do look you notice it runs normally most of the time... Speaking of most of the time, as a side effect of setting the graphics to medium, sometimes the game lags a bit or it just flat out closes on you during loadings or before a race starts... My question is, is someone out there playing RR3 on their Razr/Maxx and having these issues? If you aren't, what Rom are you running? If you did have em but fixed em, how did you do it???? Please help me out, I love this game.... Thanks in advanced!

PS. I flashed Fido Canada 4.1.2 JB firmware through RSD and rooted it, and thats what I'm running now... I also tested on CM10.1 and, even though the graphics issue was not present and the game ran perfectly, the audio still skips terribly... Could this be a Razr JB incompatibility issue? Wierd how it ran better than on my One X while on ICS but runs so terribly on JB....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
yes I did try to play this game too and the result was the same

if you look on google play, it said that the app is not compatible to our razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
well yeah but its not compatible with lots of android phones and on some of them it runs great! take the HTC One XL for example, or the best example yet, our very Razr.. The game ran perfectly on ICS, almost made me wonder why it wasn't officially available to download for Razr, but now on JB.... No go :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
I did not know about ICS. Weird that is not running on JB. Maybe a driver issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bunnsguy:
I bought this Note 2 about a month ago and got unlocked and rooted pretty easy... So I'm Currently on liquid smooth v2.3 4.2.2 vrall4. I was attempting to flash back to stock but each time I connect phone to computer in download I get no "ID:COM" number showing connectivity with the device. My first smartphone was original Samsung Galaxy so I'm slightly familiar with this flash back to stock, too bad there is no one click recovery restore tool but anyways. I'm not sure what I did but I believe I have accidentally deleted a wrong folder. Phone still works perfectly except that it doesn't seem to want to flash ROMs from the Original Android Dev section of this phone's forum... such as Paranoid's 3.5x.

also it will not connect to computer as media device...only as camera. phone notifies me it is connecting as media device, but it does not appear in my computer. it won't even allow me to put zips on the internal storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
I've noticed this problem also after the update. C3 seems to be the culprit. Flash back to a stock rooted 4.1.1 rom and set radios back. Install Kies (again) and then you can keep or uinstall kies. This worked for me. The 4.1.2 update for some reason will not play nice with the drivers. Will only let me connect as camera on both windows and Ubuntu 13.04. Thats what led me to down grade and try again.

Also, it seemed that my phone got "stuck" in PTP for some reason after all that. Once i got it to work again. I was able to connect back to Ubuntu 13.04 in MTP mode using a new 4.1.2 rom. (this for those trying to figure out how to get MTP to work on Linux boxes after update. Use a computer to set phone back to MTP, and Linux will recognize it again.) If windows jogs the phone to PTP, for some reason it will not go back until you fix that on windows. Not a science, just what i've experienced in the last 2 weeks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratsack:
OK, I've recently repaired a Galaxy S II (I9100T) that had a smashed screen but in doing so, I accidentally ripped the volume buttons off the main board. I can enter Download Mode with a USB jig I have but because of no volume buttons, I can't enter recovery. Is there somehow I can enter recovery from Download Mode?

I also used to be able to boot into Android but now it's stuck in a boot loop so I can't even boot at the moment.

I have buttons coming from Ebay and I assume it should be straight forward soldering them onto the board but thought I'd try and get it working before they arrive.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
You can try flashing a stock rom and then flashing a custom kernel with cwm + root.

But without performing a data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe you probably will remain In a bootloop, so I suggest you wait for the buttons to arrive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksjd:
Its better if you perhaps wait for the keys to arrive as these keys are the only way to enter the recovery and download mode.... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olliepooch:
wondering if someone can help me - i have installed SlimBean 4.2.2 build 5 on my Xperia S, it works fine for a little while after boot but then becomes horribly laggy and slow - to the point where the phone is completely unusable. It worked without any issues for the last 24 hours, but just now it's lasted about an hour after boot before becoming unusable. It seems completely random. I've tried reinstalling, made sure I have done a proper wipe of system/data/cache/dalvik etc and redownloaded the ROM to try it again.

I can't figure out what the issue is - it seems to happen randomly even with no apps apart from the basic GApps installed. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies - I tried the steps above, gave it plenty of time to settle and rebooted as you said - but it's still slow to the point of unusable after a period (usually when waking up from idle/sleep). Very weird. Not sure what the issue is, might roll it back to an old ROM.

Seems like the XT926 gives me nothing but trouble recently.

So, I had some market compatibility issues with my Maxx HD, and decided to risk the new root exploit for 4.1.2. (It worked spectacularly, thank you Dan.) I downloaded a root app called LCD Density Modder Pro. It had the option "fix market compatibility issues" so I ran that. It backed up the current market and Gapps and installed a modded version that would show even incompatible apps. I've used it on previous phones and it worked very well. But this time, when I rebooted, Gapps, Gmail, Play Store, and Youtube crashed sequentially over and over again. I went back to the Density Modder and restored the back up of the market and Gapps. Rebooted. Still, ANR pop ups appeared, same as before. Tried everything I could think of from restoring to wiping cache to a FDR: but after the FDR was finished and I did a reboot, after the Motorola logo disappeared, it would bootloop at the black screen immediately before where the usual "DROID" words would appear. I tried Razr Util to fastboot the stock firmware, but it kept giving me 'fail' notifications and claiming I was running 4.0.4 regularly. I even tried updating from the SD Card, FDR, the works. My phone still won't get past the Motorola logo.

Please, someone, help me out. I can't afford another device and I don't have a warranty. How do I get back to stock ANYTHING? If I can get out of the brick, I can fix it from there.
