[Nexus S General] davados:
I'm waiting for the end of the first quarter to get one of the big daddy's with there dual core processors. The nexus s seems very rushed in build and spec. I've got the feeling Google are trying to cash in on christmas. Even tho I really like the updates coming straight to the phone it's no way worth the money. Just can't wait until the end of the first quarter.
[Nexus S General] tks989:
can't wait for my nexus s

no way would i get the g2 over it
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
Me :)

Nothing is going to hold me back from buying this. And I m getting everything I need from the current generation phones. Will upgrade later if they (next generation phones) really have something good on the table to offer.

16GB enough for me. 720p will come, I m pretty sure. No HSPA+ in my country :p

LED notifications, we are not sure of it! And many other phones dont have a track pad.

Atleast I know whatever this phone has to offer will be "usable to fullest" bcos of good battery life (consider all the pitfalls of DHD) and XDA support :)

Overall should be a flawless phone with whatever is has to offer! If you are fine with its offering go for it. Else wait for another 3-4 months for the next generation phones :)

no led is confirmed. luckily you can use the app noled to get around it.
[Nexus S General] thepoetvd776:
I have a G1 that is also in its last moments so i'm thinking about getting either Nexus S or MT4g.

I'm leaning more toward Nexus S because its vanilla android and will get the updates faster but also because I think that the community will embrace it more.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Same, except my 25% is on the Vibrant that I currently have.
[Nexus S General] PolishDude:
Thinking if this thing will be worth an extra 130 over my mt4g, I bought it from costco so it cost me 400 and I have 90 days to return it. I like the mt4g a lot more then I thought I would, just wish it got some developer love.
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
If u already have mt4g and use/expecting 4G in ur area. I dont see any reason why u shouldn't stick with mt4g. Its an amazing phone sans the loooks. Its ugly !! But technology > looks :)
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
my first smartphone ever was a nexus one. I sold it for $400(worst mistake ever) and purchased a vibrant. I love my vibrant but to be honest the nexus was just a lot more stable all around. I sold my nexus thinking all android phones receive the same software treatment so naturally i went with the best hardware to date. Now the nexus s coming out, which i was hoping wouldve atleast had hspa+ but nonetheless its a vibrant with a ffc and flash but most importantly google supported which sounds like a must have to me. Now my question is this being that the nexus s is the same exact hardware will the vibrant have the same performance as the nexus s when it gets updated to gingerbread? Should i get a Nexus S or wait to see what the new year has in store?
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
plus the nexus s looks so damn sexy
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
Really? I feel the opposite. My Vibrant leaves my Nexus One on the shelf, collecting dust.

Other than that. Nexus S ftw. I was very let-down about the lack of the Orion and the lack of HSPA+ but it's cool.

In all honesty, Nexus S supports up to 7.2mbps. G2 supports up to 14.4mbps.

I have gotten 7.2mbps on my Vibrant and 10mbps on my G2.

If you're getting under 7.2mbps already, HSPA+ doesn't matter. Even then... 7.2 is plenty. The HSPA+ isn't big enough of a jump...yet.

With all this said: I will be at Best Buy on the 16th.
[Nexus S General] backslide311:
I'm still on the fence! I might just wait and see if they can get a "GOOD" port to the Vibrant (my current device). If they can't seem to than I will buy one!
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
I really want the nexus s . bad. But id be extremely upset if 2 things were to happen , first being the vibrant getting 2.3 and performing exactly the same way as the nexus. and 2nd being when the new year arrives a dual core galaxy comes out only 2-3 months after purchasing the nexus s.
[Nexus S General] samven582:
I will be buying the nexus one on day one!
[Nexus S General] neok44:
the performance will not be equal from the vibrant with 2.3 and the nexus s with 2.3

First off, this is assuming the vibrant gets 2.3, which god knows when that will be.

Basically the vibrant will always be running touchwiz software and use samsungs file system instead of the default google. both of these bring down the speed a bit, or a lot in some peoples.

My dad's vibrant runs smooth as can be, but even then there are sometimes where scrolling certain things can bring lag because of touchwiz.

the Nexus S, because it's running stock android, should perform perfectly smooth constantly because google has designed it that way, and the early tests from techcrunch and engadget say that it's the fastest phone they've ever used.
[Nexus S General] vapotrini:
That's not necessarily true at all. There are many vibrant roms where touchwiz has been completely removed. And it's more than likely we'll eventually see a very close port on the Vibrant thanks to the devs here.

Infact, I'd say both of his concerns have an extremely high chance of coming true.
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
yes they did say it was the fastest compared to other android phones. But the reviews and hands on articles all agree that its still not up to par with the iphones responsiveness and overall ui speed. Im not saying its a deal breaker for me but i was expecting the nexus s to be god of the cellphone world. Naturally one would think ,if the nexus s is the fastest android out when it officially arrives, that dual core phones should be nothing short of groundbreaking. (which are apparently scheduled for release as early as February.)
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
i still want the nexus s really bad i just dont want to regret buying a second vibrant.
[Nexus S General] PolishDude:
I have a red one and like the look but hate the lack of developers :(
[Nexus S General] stephenj37826:
When cynagen gets finished I don't think the nexus will be any better.

When kit gets optimized for the nexus it will help the galaxy s as well.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Leave this idea of being a second vibrant way behind my friend....

You may think its the same but its not....

It has a working GPS first off(change in radios)...Also its running stock thats optimized to the exact spec of the hardware. This phone is Google's new baby as the iphone to Apple.
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
The Gps on my Vibrant has always worked since day one but i do agree with you on the nexus s being tailor fitted with android 2.3. so ,in theory ,again shouldn't the vibrant perform the same with the same exact version of ginger?(untainted by carrier or samsung)
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
my only option is to wait it out.
[Nexus S General] TZAR@:
No micro SD slot, no 720p recording, no dual core, no HSPA+, no DLNA or HDMI out, imo this phone doesn't deserve the Nexus name. I'm waiting for something juicy from HTC. Hopefully HTC can get some samoled screens when they ramp up the new screen plant next year or a good equivalent. This is a big disappointment. This phone doesn't offer a big enough leap for me to put down my Nexus One.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
I mean theoretically if you can get stock android on to the Vibrant it should operate the same..

Oh and the Gps issue is less for some like when I used to have one but I guarantee you if you open google sky map your internal compass is going to freakout majorly....so Its the built in compass thats faulty.
[Nexus S General] itrustme:
at this point the only reason id buy the nexus s is for the google support. Makes me regret selling the nexus one even more FFFUUUUUUUUUUU*********....
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
That's basically what buying the Nexus S is coming down to: essentially for the direct and clean Android experience. It's a shame that it comes at a hefty price, and I don't just mean the big $529 price tag. One has to give up HSPA+ support, expandable SD slot, and soon, dual-core processors. Of course, it's up to people's preferences how important those things are.
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
I'm sure the Nexus S will fly. Who needs dual cores in phones anyways honestly. If the Nexus S really is so smooth, it won't matter. Get a dual core in 2 years when they're optimized.

Also if there's anything I regret, it's not getting the Nexus One when it came out. However now I have the option to get a Nexus phone that isn't a downgrade from my Vibrant. I do own a Nexus One now and the Vibrant outdoes it in almost every way except for the fact that the Nexus One is stock android.

Imagine merging a Vibrant and a Nexus One and adding Gingerbread, NFC, and an FFC, and a concave display all in a gorgeous package. Nexus S.

Start from the ground up, take apart some apps, ask friends if they are into Android and possibly find a developer to work with, my buddy Scary Alien and I are building multiple apps and it makes it more fun.

[General Questions and Answers] 513224:
Hi,

I'm very new to Android, so I apologize ahead of time if this is a dumb question. Still, I can't seem to find the answer, so I figure this would be the place to ask (at the risk of sounding really, really silly).

If the Android OS is open-source, and Google regularly releases a new version (I guess we're at Froyo/2.2 now?) is it possible to simply get the source code from the Android developer page and install a totally plain-jane, vanilla, untouched, basic, 'pure' if you will, version of said OS?

I have a Samsung Vibrant, and there's three ROMs available aside from the awful TouchMyWhiz interface-enhanced OEM version. I've tried all three, and each has advantages and disadvantages - great work and kudos to the developers for their efforts - but what if I just wanted an untouched version of Android? Is that possible to do? Would there be any advantage to doing so?

Thanks ahead of time for any insights... :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
I am wondering if there is a way to get the evo to roam on other 4G networks, being that I just read that Sprints long term plans include some LTE and WiMax 4g deployments, and T Moble has LTE and considering adding Wimax I am assuming the signals must work on the same antenna.

Now when I don't have Spirnt signal my phone connects to Verizion, What I would like to see happen, (although I don't think it will yet) is if sprint 4g isn't available for my phone to roam on Verizion 4g. Anyone know a way to accomplish that, Basically I just need to add a few Verizion 4g towers to the tower list (easier said then done is my guess)

IMO it would make sense for all carriers to work together to deploy one 4g and allow roaming (trading Bandwidth) while they build up the technology much like they do now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
Solved!!!

I just finished having My evo use Verizion 4g.

1. Have the Newest Flash 10.2 installed and make sure u have the hulu hexedited so file installed (the one for hulu)

2. Turn your WiFi On

3. Tell your co-worker* that Hulu looks much better now with flash 10.2

4. Your coworker will want to see since hulu dosen't work on his thunderbolt, convience him to turn on his hotspot and use ur wifi to connect

Ch131 plays awesome, so does hulu. Looks like wifi tether is capped at 5 meg that is the best the speed test could do, Sprint needs to get their act together and get 4g rolled out, Now that I got a taste I want more 4g

*Coworker must have Thundebolt and 4g service
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvoisine4:
That's not roaming.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvoisine4:
I use roam control to force roaming and I'm fairly certain that even tho its says 3g it isn't so i doubt it'd work for 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
It was more of a joke, since our phones can't connect to lte, but sprint can upgrade their equipment to lte with software, I think the best we can do is tether off some one else's phone, until wimax comes

Perhaps a logcat? Do you have Swype installed? Any other keyboard modifications already installed?

"LatinIME.apk" in /system/app

Thats it.
