SOUND QUALITY (when compared with devices equipped with the Wolfson DAC )

I am probably going for the Note, but I will be testing the sound of the GNexus, the minute it hits the showrooms here in Holland.....and if its sound is as good as or even better than my sgs's (wolfson dac) ....that could change my mind....
Anyway, for those who already own a Galaxy nexus AND have experience with phones equipped with the Wolfson DAC, like the sgs, i-phone and more, how is the GNexus's sound in comparison?
Thanks

Probably going to have to wait for the audiophile or music freaks to get a satisfactory answer to that. A lot of us are still waiting for that answer.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Is this thing already being sold or not?
Here in Holland , if I order now, it will take 4 weeks

I pre-ordered mine @ expansys.nl and they deliver on December 3rd. Supercurio inspected the sound hardware already and it looks quite ok. its up to google how they impanted it into the OS, But im not worried cuz im sure things get tweaked and optimised overtime.

If you read better, it says expected December 3rd. That's slightly different.
Mine is expected at the end of November. Bottom line is that they simply don't know when The Phone will be delivered.

I tried to find the Supercurio info that you mentioned regarding the sound hardware for Galaxy Nexus but searching Google I did not find anything. Do you have a link?
BTW. I just looked at the expansys UK site and they have the 32GB model (for others looking for this version of the phone), but no price listed yet:
www expansys com/google-galaxy-nexus-32gb-black-224348/
Sorry, I don't have enough posts to make a proper link.

I already knew Supercurio thoughts....
I was hoping that there enough users out there with that thing in hands, already testing...
I guess the selling still have to warm up
I buy my decices always on belsimpel.nl . they have good prices, good service and an office here in Groningen, where I can pick it up...
GNexus 560 Euros...
Tje price of the Note went down to 546 euros

Yeah the speaker on my HTC Incredible blew out during the first week of owning it.

Freaking Asurion...

So last week on Monday morning i cracked my HTC Sensation screen while
getting out from my car as it was on my lap and i completely forgot about it.
I have done this before and not a single scratch, but this time i guess it just
fell at the wrong spot. What ever all good, that's why i have insurance right?
So i go and file a claim with Asurion for them to just tell me that there is no
available Sensation phones and that they can just replace it with the SG2.
Sure why not i said, might as well get a new different phone to play around
with. So they shipped it out on Monday telling me that by Tuesday it should
be there... Nope came on Wednesday.(Most likely Fedex problem...). So like
a little child i'm all excited and start ripping apart the box to get my phone .
I open it up and start looking at all the peaces and realize right off the bat
that their is no freaking battery. How the hell am i supposed to turn this thing
on with no battery. Even tried to just put in the usb charger but it just vibrates.
(probably meaning that there is no freaking battery). So i'm completely pissed
of at this point and am about to start raging. I call up Asurion customer service
to tell them what happened. (One thing is, Asurion got some really nice
customer service people right in america i mean it was just like talking to
a friend and they where really nice and just flat out nice lol. All 6 people that i
called!. VERY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!) So they tell me that i can go into
my local store and just buy a battery and they will refund me $39.99. So i hang
up and goto the store to find out they are selling that battery for 49.99. So i
call Asurion back again to tell them this and they said they will ONLY be able to
refund me $39.99 and what ever else is upto me. I tell them forget it and ship
me a new battery. The lady tells me that they don't ship battery's by fedex
but by regular mail, and that i wont get my battery until 5-7 days... So i was
kind of pissed and ended up speaking to a super visor and apparently his super
visor and nothing can be done about this. What ever i said just freaking send
it and get this over with. SO figure it like this. They say 5-7 business days for
the package to arrive by regular mail. Regular mail has a 6 day business work
week Monday-Saturday. Today is now Thursday so that would mean that this
was the last day that it should have came on. To my surprise i get home a few
hours ago and there is no freaking battery in the mailbox.... GRRRRR
Back to calling Asurion. Again i tell them the problem and again they tell me that
they will send me another battery by regular mail. Now i wasn't having any of
this. I have 14 days to return my old phone. Now i am on day 8 of this 14 day
return policy. What the hell am i going to do? They told me they can contact
t-mobile and tell them the problem and not to expect the package for 30 days.
I told them NO because i cant even use the damn phone so it doesn't matter.
( I was ling cause i'm using it right now lol). I started screaming at this poor
lady and then just asked for a super visor again. After about 20minutes of being
on hold 4 times, she comes back on the line and says that they have come to
a solution.
The solution:
They are going to send me a package with a new phone WITH BATTERY and
send it via fedex so i can get it tomorrow. They have a very strict policy
on shipping anything other then phones via fedex express.
I just now have to send back 2 phones...
This is what i have been going thru for the past 8 days..
I hope it comes in tomorrow with a battery and i also hope that the battery that
they sent in via regular mail also come sin so that i can now have a spare battery.
So that is my Asurion ordeal for the past week and a half.
Fun times ehh.

Wow! Hope it all comes together for ya from here on out

Yea, thanks a lot. I really hope it comes in tomorrow with everything functioning and intact.

they are sapose to send a new phone in sealed box when replacing your phone with a different phone. Thats weird they would do that either somebody messed up or they have some bull$**T new policies. I don't know seems like T-mobile and what not was real cool when they were about to merge but now they got real greedy.

Yep, same thing Asurion and T-mobile told me. They are both different company's that don't have to much to do with each other other then insurance. When i send back the phone's they get sent to T-mobile and not Asurion. At least that's what Asurion told me. Also i didn't get it in a sealed box. It was sent in some cheap ass regular white box.. Meh

If u need a battery real fast you can go to your local Verizon store now and get the Samsung 2100mah Galaxy Nexus Extended battery for 24.99 (currently 50% off 49.99). I just bought mine yesterday and it fits perfectly. Our stock battery is 1850mah. Call before you go because some stores are sold out.

Thanks for the tip. I love my Sensation but the battery life is just HORRIBLE. I mean it was so bad that only making a few phone calls and checking xda for 30minutes tops during work, i'd be at like 15-10% by 5pm after a full work day. Hope the sg2 handles battery life much better.

They send me vibrant with no memory card in it ; result there was no avatar movie. Which pissed me alot.

Sadly, After having had my GSII past the 14 day return window, I'm kinda wanting my Sensation back. The T989's only advantage is the 16GB onboard memory and 256MB more RAM.
Factor in that Sensation has several ICS ROMs and we have none and there are non on the horizon, I'd rather go with the Sensation, even though I had a ton of issues with my 4 that i went through. The T989 just doesn't impress me enough to justify the cost over upgrading from the Sensation. The only thing keeping me from selling the GSII and getting another Sensation is the crap luck i had with them.

You could of just got the galaxy nexus extended battery for 25.99+tax from the Verizon store.

Callers say phone sounds like im in a tunnel

I just got two:
Samsung Galaxy S II - Titanium from T-mobile (SGH-T989)
Not rooted, etc...But stock, as they come from t-mobile.
Voice quality is pretty bad on those two units. I can hear the other party muffed. I thought they are on speakerphone or talking thru a headset. Then the person with the other S G II noticed the same issue. I am having hard time understanding the other party in every call. I really got to focus on the conversation
Low voice volume when rocker is on max. It is hard to hear people in street noisy environment.
I talked to T-mo rep and they said that probably the phone is like this, and suggested to go to t-mo store and try one of their units. I wonder if it's the entire batch or the phones are like this.
I am coming from Google Nexus One. I wonder if Ice Cream will solve this issue or cyanogen mod 9. Is it hardware or software issue? Anyone else with similar thoughts?

Honestly, coming from a Sensation, this phone has incredible sound quality and speaker volume.
I think you should warranty both handsets.

I came from the MyTouch 4G... And the SGS2 has such better sound quality than I had with my MyTouch, and I liked the MyTouch... I think you got a bad phone... Two bad phones, if that's possible... Haha

I have the same problem. Sounds like crap. I returned my first one after about 2 days. Got another one and it worked fine for a month or so, yhen the same thing happened. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do now. I can't Stand it.

Yeah i have notice as well

i've been using it for 2+ month now, it's loud and clear
you guys must have got some duds
the other day another user asked me about the Mic, and after using compressed air to clear it out, is fine now
if you put the phone in your pants or jacket pockets often it might be stuffed

Thank you for your input.
I have no problem with my mic. The other party has no problem either, since I talk to different people, and I still have the same result. I have problem with the speaker, or the sound chip. The phones are brand new so no lint/dust in the speaker, or the mic.
I think Samsung does some changes with every different batch. This one is probably just like this. Nothing can be done. The series I am talking is: Samsung Galaxy S II – Titanium for T-Mobile, manufactured in December 2011 (no headphones in the box).
I am sure a lot of other SG2 s are fine.
The volume is on max, when I call someone (before the other party answers) ringing in the speaker is not clear or crisp, since the volume is on max.
I talked to Samsung today 12/21 and they have not hear of the issue. I talked to t-mobile on 12/20 and they have no solution either.
I guess it’s going on craigslist. Probably this will be normal voice quality for other users, and I will downgrade to Nexus S (hardware wise) until some other nexus appears at the end of the next year.

That's what it is. Talk on my phone you'll clearly see the difference. My old Sensation had horrible call quality until I ran the volume + app but then my battery started dying quickly
So I got rid of it & haven't looked back since.
This is someone coming from an unlocked iphone 4 in white (best call quality besides the Galaxy S2)
My GS2 is so clear and loud I never have to worry about hearing other callers no matter where I am. Take both phones back and have the reps at the store exchange them for you.
If they give you grief, have them make calls from your 2 handsets. Make sure they grab a demo phone to compare yours to

same
I have the same exact issue. Just got my phone a few days ago, enjoying Pandora in the car with the AUX input jack...
A call comes in, I answer, and I can't heard a damn thing! I make sure the In Call volume is set to max, still can barely hear the caller. I turn up my stereo...finish the call...then BAM! Pandora is blasting my ears off!
Incredibly frustrating!
sharko, wondering if you were able to get this resolved via exchange...?

My job just got me a new phone SGSIII! Way better than the on call Blackberry

Came in today to find a SGS3 on my desk woot! I like ICS wish it had Jelly bean, but it's great so far. I gotta get this an xoskin right after work, woot for a company card. I have had a Blackberry Bold for an on call phone and I guess my complaints didnt fall on deaf ears. The thing had issues, I dont even know where they got it. The sticker on the back says property of research in motion limited. It was like some demo blackberry haha. Just waiting for exchange to sync, then I will customize it. What average battery life should I expect? I had like 3 spare batteries on my old evo, as long as I can get 8 hours I should be good.

My work gave me an iPhone 4s

You can get jellybean, there's a couple good stable ROMs. I'm using baked black bean 5 right now and it does well, you can use team venum's jellybean ROM because its touchwiz, although I really don't like touchwiz(thought it was great until I tried normal android without it)oh and jellybean would require root unless you wait for the official update which is supposed to be this month.

I'm on stock unrooted(for now at least) and I can go from 7 am to 10 pm with about 6 or 7 hours of screen on time and still have around 20 percent left.

Aftermarket headphones with mics don't work for making calls on the GSIII?

Hey Guys, I am VERY frustrated with this phone.
I have 2 pairs of awesome aftermarket phones that I have used for years on various phones to make and receive calls: Klipsch s4is and Bose E2s, which have worked on: iphone 4, iphone 4s, nexus one, LG G2x.
I just sold my 4s to get a GS3, and now, the headphones are not recognized by the phone app. WHen I dial out, I cant hear anything, and the mic doesn't register my sounds. There is no option for wired headset in the phone sources section of the phone app (which has a bluetooth option, and a speaker option, but not a wired headset option).
Is there any solution to this? If not, I'm immediately selling. I can't imagine that this is the most popular android device. I'm already dealing with the stock mail app not showing or syncing Exchange sub-folders, which is very, very annoying. Combine that with the headphone issue, and I'm already ready to bail. Please help!

Loyalty? What are you talking about. I'm about quality and features, not loyalty. In fact, to be loyal to a phone sounds completely wacko to me.
I'll repeat for everyone: I just called Samsung tech support. They have confirmed that aftermarket headsets DO NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE.
The also confirmed that: exchange sub-folders DO NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE.
You're telling me that is acceptable on their premier device? That is a joke. I will most definitely be selling this phone for one that supports the most basic, basic functionality.
BTW, I tested the phones on 5 different phones at the ATT and TMO stores and the Samsung kiosk at the mall. The headphones work on none of them. The 2nd tier customer support at Samsung has zero helpful information, and no date to fix. This is pathetic. I'll be getting rid of this phone now. If anyone wants a brand new white 32gb GS3 for TMO with an elago case and screen protector, let me know.

Her advice was also to buy a third party exchange app.

Have you tried them using a non touchwiz rom? That might be a solution

I have the same problem, but it only happens on "3 buttons" headset. If you use "one button" headset, it works fine with S3.
Example: I have Bose MIE2 (universal) and MIE2i (dedicated volume buttons for iPhone).
MIE2 (one button) does not disconnect when making calls, but MIE2i gets disconnected everytime when making call and I have to re-plug to make it work again.

My brother has piece of sh it headphones from Walmart with a built in answer button and mic. It works just fine...

I feel your pain. The first time I realized that my headsets didn't work with the S3 I was baffled. And it sucks that every time I'm listening to music with my earphones and I get a call, I have to pull the phone out and answer the call using the earpiece and mic on the phone. Totally stupid and frustrating. I hope it gets fixed soon. It's also really funny how the buttons work (one, not 3 on 3-button headsets like mine) to pause and skip tracks but the mic doesn't. Stupid.
On the Exchange Folders front, all folders do show up. The way I access them (I have multiple exchange accounts set up) is to hit the account drop down and then tap on show all folders. So the Samsung support person you talked to was wrong on that front.

Secondly, bluetooth? i don't use bluetooth. i use high grade wired earphones with mic: Klipsch and Bose. THE DEVICE DOESN'T SUPPORT THEM.

My original Android wired headphones (that came with the Nexus One) work perfectly with the T-Mobile SGSIII to play music and make/receive calls. The call comes in, the music pauses and I answer the call, talk to the caller, hear them perfectly and end the call using the headset button. There something wrong with either your headset (I'm leaning in this direction) or your phone.

Maybe the headphones you are using are only for iphone?

Have you tried them using a non touchwiz rom? That might be a solution

I have used wired and BT headphones from 3 different companies and I can listen to music and make calls with all of them.

I have klipsch 4S Androids and they work fantastic on my SGS3. Personally, I love the headset and the Mic on it works great. I know klipsch say the iPhone ones don't work on android. But I agree, you should buy a different phone. You must like what you buy when you spend on a top of the line phone.
