The new beta works just fine, talk to Samsung about their f'd up kernel and leaks ....it runs great on galaxy nexus
So it's not chrome it's probably Samsung not having full hardware acceleration right in the leaks etc

There have been rumors of such but who knows...yea in az I don't have 4g so didn't matter between wimax and lte, but #1 thing I love is the same recovery all the time no built in kernel junk team win recovery is nice too...that makes it worth it to me and makes it really easier to run aokp , crossbones, cm9 , liquid smooth,miui ....and any kernel works vzw gsm ..no crazy odin el26 & flash or you brick your phone.. I loved the e4gt but it should not be that hard to flash anything

IPhone 5 jump ship or no

Share opinions on why or why not you guys would or would not jump ship to the iPhone 5
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

No. there is no need to even explain.

no lol....because i have a galaxy nexus that had all that stuff almost a year before they "invented" it.

why would anyone jump ship to an iPhone designed for the 2011 market? besides, the Galaxy Nexus has all of the iPhones 5 features, plus more.

And I got a Nexus because its unlocked and I can do with it as I please. WTF would I want a locked down device with a ui designed for kindergardeners??

Lock this.
Cannot wait to see the next Nexus mobile(s) now...

but ... but ... but, you get an extra row of icons!
Think of the innovation that went into this!

Does there even need to be a 5 after iphone? They are all (suck) the same!

Although for once, the new iPhone does look nice.
I'll stick with my awesomely mine Nexus.

Nexus all the way. No reason what so ever to switch over. Well unless you are an apple fanboi.

One thing i like about it is how it looks. I think its the best looking smart phone out. But thats just me

I will give Apple this, it looks like the nicest phone yet by far.
I'm a fan of the brushed metal look (aluminum).
For once, it looks slick.

If under 500 for 64gb off contract, then yes. So in other words, highly unlikely. A 64gb iPhone would be great though to keep all my music with me so I don't have to worry about not having service to play all my music.

Bad choice with the S3?

You guys think the S3 was a bad choice for me? I've always been about pure android, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus. Screen cracked on the Nexus so I "upgraded" to an S3. It's really quick but kinda laggy. Galaxy Nexus was definitely quicker and now there's rumors of the new Nexus coming out around November/December which I'll wanna get. You guys think the S3 was a bad choice getting it at this time? Do you want the new Nexus or like Nexus better?
I could always sell my S3 when it comes out and buy the Nexus, if the S3 is still worth something in December.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2

The s3 will still be worth something in December. I understand your wanting a pure android experience.... But "quick but laggy", which is it?? I've had no complaints but everyone wants different things out of their devices.... If you are not happy with it, sell it and buy the nexus.

What's wrong with aosp?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I honestly don't think an LG Nexus is going to be that amazing. I've never been impressed by any of LGs phones.
Also, just install any AOSP ROM and you days of lag will be no more.

After using Touchwiz for 2 months with ICS, it got boring because it lags. I flashed ParanoidAndroid and it's very fast.

Ya maybe the JB update will fix it. I'll probably get the new Nexus still though. I love pure Google Android.

Own a nexus and it is no way smoother than the gs3. But if you want aosp just install aokp,cm10 or paranoiddroid. All of which work great on the gs3.
Touchwiz does get clunky after adding all my widgets but nova prime on stock with touchwiz icons worked well for me too.. currently though aokp is going solid.

I'm in the same boat with you. I think this device will really shine with jelly bean tho. I'd only switch if the nexus was a crazy camera. I don't game so quad core stuff doesn't sway me much

I used to think TouchWiz should be fast because it's the stock launcher. Nope. Even a few widgets slowed it down; Nova is my default and I am a happy camper again...

Oh, right; sorry I missed that. Yeah, my notification bar lags when I'm watching a YouTube video, too! Never had occasion to bring it down before there....
I think the JB OTA will solidify the GS3. I'm a little hesitant to run custom, too. I mean, they're called nightlies for a reason. If there was ever a bleeding edge, they are it.

Ya the lag isn't to big of a concern cause I think JB will really spice this phone up. I do t wanna run custom, I don't have the time to flash everyday anymore and keep up. And my laptop is broken rn
I'll still probably get the newest nexus though, if it has the rumored update and isn't made by LG.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2

I have both a nexus with custom JB and I have my S3 back to Triune2 ICS. I tested JB roms on the S3 and they ARE noticeably smoother! Also nova Prime is definitely a better experience than stock JB launcher on nexus (especially if you take advantage of the swipe gestures).
If you want to check where the difference in horsepower lies, load a fancy live wallpaper such as ocean HD (it was 25c a few days ago), it runs like butter on the S3 but the nexus struggles with it!

Anyone moved to S3? Why?

If yes, please state your reasons of moving to S3.
Let's share our knowledge.

lol biggest regret ever stick to google for android or gt iphone
most apps and game dnt makke full use of quadcore

I think it's safe to assume most people that have moved from a Nexus to an S3 wouldn't continue to lurk in the Nexus forums. Probably best to ask in the S3 forums :good:
I love my Nexus and will always stay Nexus for the stock Android experience and abundance of ROMs. That said though I did try a S3 4g/LTE model today and was MIGHTY impressed with how snappy it was with Jellybean.

I've been tempted several times. Its the physical buttones that are holding me back.

I recently had the chance to get it myself. But I couldn't do it. I was looking at the aosp development, and from what I'm used to it was weak. I could live with touchwiz but I just don't like it. The physical keys where also a downer. Just something I wouldn't like to give up. And since i already have a quad core tablet there really was nothing besides a better camera and even then the gnex camera is pretty good I don't listen to what others say I know what I've seen it do.

I have both as well (SGS2 being my daily phone) and for me (my own personal preference) both the GNex and SGS3 has their own perks in their respective right. With that being said, if i had to choose, my GNex will come out on top each time. But my SGS3 is a damn good device.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The latest Touchwiz is pretty bad. I had TW ICS on my tab2 and just recently we got TW JB on the tab2. I don't know if the SGS3 will get something similar but this latest version of TW JB on my Tab 2 is slow, the browser force closes and the interface has been changed for the worst. The ICS version of TW was better than this newest version they have released.

The bigger question is did you read what he said? Now re-read what you typed.
He was talking about AOSP. If there was still confusion, he posted specifically that he was talking about AOSP, over an hour before you posted.

For the last time im not on about ****wizzzz im on about pure Google Android like cm10
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I have both and most of the time use my s3 for the battery life. If I want to try something new or interesting I'll usually do it on the nexus. As far as bad aosp goes I'm not sure what you're smoking, we get nightly cm10 builds consistently. I'm currently running the m2 release and it's perfectly suitable for every day use. Prior to this I was running paranoid and it was great. M2 just has better battery life. Also while they do get worse battery life than touch wiz it's still better than my nexus.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

lolno.

Well a lot of people I know have the s3. A lot.
Anyway...I've had a lot of opportunities to play with it. It is very very very fast first and foremost!
I've mostly played with the ICS versions. So smooth and a real joy to use. The nature UX is also very nice. Its one of the best android skin I've used from any OEM I think. They finally moved away from trying to mimic the IOS look and feel with the UI which is good.
I've tried the jellybean version of the s3 just once and to be honest I could not tell a big difference. That's because the s3 is awesome with speed and responsiveness even with ICS.
The screen is excellent also, and the feel and look of the handset in the hand is nice. It looks a lot like the galaxy nexus with buttons.
I would not move to the s3 as a full time replacement for the galaxy nexus however. Simple reason being that I had the galaxy note and waiting for ICS and Jellybean was not my thing.
I'm too comfortable with quick stock updates from my nexus s days. Plus the main reason also...the galaxy nexus is insanely fast and smooth already!
