Things i noticed about the 4.0.4 update " GSM GALAXY NEXUS " - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I made this thread to mention the noticed changes of this update.
1. In the setting app you will find " Dock " option which is new !
2. the rotation speed is very much better as far
3. camera seems to be better ! " better quality " and faster .
4. no animation lag in the system app! <-- i hated that lag on 4.0.2
5. Am not sure about the battery , I'll test it today ! ( and it depends on the user )
6. I noticed that when you record a full HD video it runs slow !!? is that normal , even the 720p is the same.. the soind is so clear but the video looks laggy ! <--- have you guys noticed that ?

By all users here :
7. You can no longer press the volume rocker and tap the icon to put it in vibrate.
8. Holding the power button brings up power off, airplane mode and a volume toggle consisting of silent, vibrate and sound on
9. Gtalk icon has changed.
10. On the Messaging app the unread message counter is now smaller and the colour changed to white, instead of being ics-blue.
11. The browser is incredibly faster on rendering.
12. Now is possible to access the bookmarks from the quick controls on the browser.

Two bugs that annoyed me are fixed:
Calendar widget didn't show all-day items.
When a legacy app (with ... in bottom right corner) was open, it would also show (and unlock) on the lock screen.
14. Auto brightness is better than it was
and Screenshot sound is LOUD! (I have media volume pretty low, normally; and ring volume at max. It now uses ring volume.) Very
annoying.
15. One bug is not fixed: with language set to “English (United Kingdom)”, the date is almost everywhere correctly shown as “3 April”, except in the notification bar, where
it (incorrectly) shows “April 3, 2012”.
16. video recording issues hd video is lagging a lot. inconsistent speed and also sound
17. phone is much, much slower to start charging through the POGO pins.
18. You can now hold the shutter button to focus and release to capture a photo. This was present in 4.0.1 but removed in 4.0.2 and now back again.
19. we can now take a photo while shooting a video in 1080p mode. just like the ONE X Claims to be able to do because of it's dedicated image chip . just tap on the screen while recording.
20. that the voice-to-type has changed .. now u can choose ur language or add more languages from the keyboard and no need to go to the setting app also Arabic voice
detection is present and working not as Google as the English one but still it is a good thing to have ..
21. The stock calendar widget now shows a colour square for each calendar entry, and the calender entries have been reduced in size to fit more entries on screen.
22. A whole stack of new ringtones, a few of them are pretty loud too.
If anyone noticed another things please mention it here

Holding the power button brings up power off, airplane mode and a volume toggle consisting of silent, vibrate and sound on. I've gotten quite accustomed to using that one very quickly.

About the video recording issue, anyone noticed that, guys ?

Yeah, this really needed a whole new thread.

I have no problems doing this. If i press the volume rocker, i can slide the bar all the way left, or tap at the left and it goes on vibrate just fine.
Is that what you mean?

I too used to hit the volume rocker and then touch the icon of the phone to immediately mute. The benefit of this was that one touch of the volume up button again cancelled the mute and put the phone back to the original volume.
Yes you can touch the 0% point on the slider or slide it all the way to the bottom, but then "up" on the volume rocker only adds one notch to volume rather than restoring the original volume.
Seems an odd thing to remove from 4.0.2...

My observations:
Definitely feels a lot snappier.

Increase your SGS speed by just changing Settings

Go to Settings > Display > Animation > No animation
I found this tweak at anandtech. My SGS is now flying. It's amazing. Your SGS performance will at least double after setting no animation.
Turning off animation disables the fading effect when opening and closing apps.
Works on all SGS firmwares. It may not work if you are using the default TouchWiz home.
Cheers
To me this only seems to affect the settings windows, doesn't change the app draw fade, or homescreens. What else does it turn off?

WOW! This really does make a huge difference (didn't think it would),
Nice find.
This is true makes most things snappier. The animation reminds me of my old iphone anyway, don't wasn't that now do we! Its enough that samsung copied the design of the enclosure...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
this works great on the interface make it feel really snappy.
It stops the fading effect of moving from one screen to another screen or pop ups. So, now you don't have to wait.
is the graphics driver at fault?
if the animations are not smooth and thats causing the delay, maybe the graphics driver is at fault.
This makes my phone well fast. Running doc's rom and ryan za's lag fix. Thanks man. I like the speed

Perhaps, as overlays/transparencies might not be working as intended, any app that uses any kind of transparency/overlay/fade over TouchWiz seems to go to hell.
To see this, checkout vizBattery, when the screen with the 2 select buttons pops up and its semi transparent if you have a live wallpaper going you can see the frame rate drop to 5 fps.
I still can't see any other windows that this turns effects off for??? What are you all on about
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It might be faster because it takes less cpu/gpu to use your phone but your cpu/gpu is not always on full charge so I think that it seems faster only because you don't have the animation delay that's all
It's the same as disabling all the fancy FX in win 7 ( or any other OS ), but I like my FX and I'm happy to wait the microsecond or two extra
I have always been bothered with the slow animation on the front screen. It is dead smooth in launcherpro. But disabling the animation do makes for a better experience.
Although zooming and scrolling in the app-drawer is dead slow still.
Is this really a Development section topic....?
This is nothing special or specific to the SGS. Same settings on my EVO 4G and Nexus One exist(ed), and have the same impact on the "feel" of the phone.
If you get Spare Parts you can speed it up, which has the same effect without destroying the prettiness.
Hey, this works really well. And I don't think it destroys the prettiness, windows open too fast for destroying it
These are one of the things I do everytime after flashing a new rom.
1) Disable animation
2) Change the Mobile networks to 'GSM Only' (We have no 3G yet in India on major n/w)
3) Brightness to Zero
4) Haptic Sensitivity to just a bare minimum
5) Date & Time to 12-hour format
6) USB Debugging - Enabled
7) Privacy - Use my Location
8) Wifi-Settings - Disable network notification
9) Disable SD Card notifications
10) Disable Power saving Mode
11) Set the APN & Login to Google!!
I wish there was a way to automate the above steps
What exactly does the powersaving mode do?
You could probably write a script for sl4a that adjusts many of those.

My findings

I've been using my SGN now about a week.
Excellent phone with only a few issues that I can find.
I had the ghost volume yesterday but I turned on and off and not had it since.
I seem to be missing my return button(next line) in my text message service, could be me missing something but when I send a text I don't get the large arrow at the bottom right. Its there on all other input methods.
Keep picking the phone up upside down.
I can't use the phone without a case really really slippy.
Other than that the phone is lightening fast responsive and the screen is too die for.
Get one , I love mine......
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Great to see a well written post of your thoughts.
Thank you
My findings are the same as yours apart from the Vol issue, I havnt had it (im on Orange)
Phone is slippy
I too kept picking it up upside down but after now 3 days im instinctivly feeling for the hump on the back to orientate that to the bottom to get it the right way up.
I too dont have an enter key for texting, wtf?
In general use like browsing, the back round the camera gets really hot.
Phone is lightning fast but ive had far too many lock ups already, half a dozen ish. I hope the issues get resolved, I'll keep forwarding error reports. Im sure its just teething probs with the new OS. I hope its not the phone, im not exactly sold on Samsung quality.
Got my Samsung Galaxy Nexus last 18th of November and these are my comments
The Bad
- had that volume bug - awaiting for the update
- can not make video call, even with skype front cam not working (pls update)
- mp3 songs can not be set as ringtone
- some of my apps not working, like viber, currency converter
- no flash support - awaiting for it
- silent button needed in the power widget
- low volume, can't really hear it if phone is in my pocket
The good: http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
- super fast
- nice panoramic mode in the camera
- camera is fast, not a problem with 5 mpx
- lovely screen res
- unique face unlock (but face not detected in low light/dark areas/at night time)
- battery lasted for 13 hours (depends on the user)
http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif i love this phone

MP3 can be set as ringtones, BUT they need to be in the ringtones directory. Workable idea is to use Ringdroid (or similar) to crop the portion of the MP3 you want from your Music directory and save it separately in Ringtones.
Plenty of widgets to control volume/profiles. Audiomanager Pro lets you create profile widgets. I use Extended Controls which lets you build your own widget with exactly the controls you want on it. It's not perfect (as it hasn't been updated for ICS yet) - GPS toggle and APN toggle take you into the settings menus - but it has been (and will be once updated) a top notch widget.
Volume - Try Volume+.
My findings:
Pro:
- Great screen, however, I really dont think it's a big leap in quality over my old Galaxy S, let alone the S2.
- Great speed, hasnt slowed down once, nice and fast and no crashing.
- Good interface. Love ICS
- Good reception and call quality
Cons:
- Low ringer volume and notification sounds
- LED notifications only flash once, would be nice for it to keep flashing intermittenly so you know you've got a notification, rather than having to turn it on.
- The pull down notification bar does not have quick access to the power bar (as per Galaxy S). That was really useful, so if you're in an app you can turn on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS etc, rather than having to go to the home page and doing it from there. Very annoying!
- No native video player to recognise .avi, .mkv files. Had to buy Dice Player.
- No Swype!!!
- No return key when texting
- No external storage
- Annoying browser experience. If you want to go to a bookmark, you have to press a button to go to the tabs, then another button to go to favourites, then another to select the favourite! Very poor process.
- Poor widgets for the homescreen (I want a nice looking clock). Wont pick up my location automatically, either, for weather updates.
- Poor camera application.
I realise the phone is in it's infancy, with many updates to come, but coming from a very accomplished phone, it's taking some getting used to, and some things which are a step backwards!

Android has never had a carriage return button on the stock keyboard for text messages. Manufacturer modifications to Android may have this feature, but that would be down to the specific variant (HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz, etc).

This was true with Nexus S too. The solution is to create a folder "/media/audio/ringtones/" and copy your mp3s there. The other option is to use an app.
Hope this helps...

ICS 4.0 & All the Little Things! [undocumented features]

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:
Reserved........
I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.
No affiliation with apple. Or siri.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion
Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.
When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android
Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.
When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!
This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions

If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?
Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

ICS - my wishes for next updates

Yet some might say root or use diff launcher or..., I hope this might be considered in next ICS updates:
Launcher: ability to hide app icons in drawer if I want to.
Data usage: ability to prevent app from using wifi beside mobile data foreground & background if needed (firewall).
Gallery editor: frames effects.
Email (not Gmail): more refresh options such as every 2 hours & from time to time....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Only one atm : Reduce lag in scrolling on some occasions
1) Reboot option when holding the power on/off button
2) Easier way to mass text people
3) Ability mass select individual text messages (in each thread) and then delete them
4) Better stats on what is using the battery
5) When saving panoramic phots, do it quicker and don't delete the picture if the phone locks before the picture is saved
Increased video recording frame rate and enhanced stabilization, reboot option, faster unlock time from the lockscreen to the camera app, enhanced UI responsiveness, built in memo app and voice recorder app, photo editing app kinda like the one on the GS2 and battery saving tweaks

Make the back button relevant when multitasking. Right now, if I hit back after switching from one app to another, I go to the home screen instead back to the previous app.

the gallery should be able to open jpg files that are in a .nomedia directory and go to previous or next pic like it where a normal picture...
this worked that way on old android version
since ICS if i open a picture in filemanager that is in a .nomedia directory, the galery does not known how to open it...
its ok that it is not shown in the gallery app by default, but if i open it from filemanager it should open ...
Mine would be sort the browser out :
Permanent desktop option ( like browser+ has)
Smoother scrolling
Rewrap text as an option
And i hate the way when tap in and then out it has rerender it , kida reminds me of checkers
Still think its the best browser iv used but fixing these is a must
I'd like to see a higher res and flash for the front camera.
Consistent ui!

I just want an update lol.
I would like.
*full manual camera setting ISO , shutter speed, manual focus.
*wakelock display in battery stats to show what apps are miss misbehaving so we can report them.
*fix the lag that came with 4.0.2
*fix the wifi drop outs.
*put the toggle wifi GPS ect in the drop down bar along with settings or make it customisable.
*customisable notifications like light flow app.
*fix the all alarm app, when you launch it just launch it straight to the set alarms not a date and time screen.
Everything else is sweet.

Minor things about 4.3

While the majority of this update brings smoothness and (possibly) better battery life for all, there are a few things that can make life more difficult for the power user. Here I'll list what I found, and I'll try to add people's replies as they come in.
Superuser is kinda broken
None of the 4.3 superuser hacks have been 100% successful, many parts don't work. For example, restoring apps with TB or RTP result in only the apps being restored, but data is left behind. Tested with Chainfire's SuperSU for the S4 (which also works on any AOSP 4.3 ROM)
Secure Settings Helper can't toggle airplane mode anymore
This one is particularly bad for Tasker users, as many of their profiles that depend on Secure Settings toggling airplane mode for them will now have to do it by hand until someone finds a new way.
USB OTG slightly broken
Mounting with StickMount on my Galaxy Nexus is fine, but after unmounting, sdcard disappears and shows content from root directory. Sure, everything is safe and sound in /data/media, the mount points just get a little messed up. Perhaps this is due with the root issue?
Slight stutters
Slight stutters have been noticed in the following areas: when pressing the recent apps button, switching from notification to quick settings, and CRT off. I don't get these often except for the recent apps, which seems to be persistent. All the others, at least for me, come and go.
Feel free to post whatever thing you notice in 4.3 that seems off!

CRT animation
The CRT animation when you turn off the screen of the device is still laggy like in 4.2
Quick-settings panel
The animation that make appears the quick-settings panel is not always "60fps smooth" like in 4.1/4.2.
Nav-bar buttons animation
The "glow" animation of the virtual button is not smooth (mostly on the multitasking button, when you are in the home screen)
"App"
"Applications" is now replaced from "App" everywhere in the phone (Settings, multitasking screen if empty). Just REALLY ugly.
Fow now, this. If i discover more, I'll update the post

"Applications" is now replaced from "App" everywhere in the phone (Settings, multitasking screen if empty). Just REALLY ugly.
Fow now, this. If i discover more, I'll update the post

It means you are trying hard to find something wrong, and the only things wrong are very minor.

Nope.
I'm just saying what was perfect in 4.2/4.2 and is made worse in 4.3 (or in 4.2 from 4.1).

CRT animation
The CRT animation when you turn off the screen of the device is still laggy like in 4.2
Quick-settings panel
The animation that make appears the quick-settings panel is not always "60fps smooth" like in 4.1/4.2.
Nav-bar buttons animation

Could it be that you have problems with that? Same like the guy before has a laggy dialer, and you don't ... In my case, the CRT animation is a lot better, smoother than it was before ... Nav-bar button glow is working smoother than ever here ...
my gnex after 4.3 is running like butter on silk. it's that smooth. 4.2.2 was more laggy than 4.3

I only get the recent button lag which doesn't bother me at all, and the quick settings lag which does bother me

Have you tried the Lagfix app from the playstore? Maybe you emmc needs some trimming.
Fixed the recents button lag for me. You need root though.

i doubt it has to be with that...
About quick settings frame drop I think it happens only when there is any notification. If I swipe all then the transition is smoother

Same for me here!
I have experienced a better battery usage. But i have made a clean isntall, so I dont know if the better battery usage is due to the 4.3 itself or the clean install.
For this first day, no issues.

Here I have the lag every time i make appear or disappear the quick-settings panel, except the first time from when I pull down the notification bar.
Independently of having or not having notifications.

its really hard to notice for me if there is any difference between the first time and the rest...seems like the same, only difference is when there's a notification.
Another minor lag: Google Now
If I press and hold home button, the Google 'circle' shows up normally, but if I do it swiping the finger from the bottom instead of pressing and holding home, the Google 'circle' animation showing up is laggy.
Mostly importat to see if they fixed the problem with eMMC speed.
