forgot to say, in earphone only.

Can you tell me, does Samsung Galaxy Nexus have usb-host? Google says that you can connect keyboards, mouses etc. But not any word about usb flash drives. Does SGN can recognise any flash drives like it can do Galaxy S2?
Thank you in advance.

@tvp I would say the audio is on par with the Galaxy S II for speaker use, Still the single speaker, but I found using headphones the nexus was slightly better than my S II. Plus i use my phone for music through my cars built in 3.5mm jack and ics has an equalizer in the music player meaning you can really get the best out of your music depending on what your using eg headphones, speaker, car etc just by tweaking the EQ

thanks for quick reply, another question.
This is a deal-breaker for me, does the phone support flash?

Can you tell me if the phone dialer works by spelling out a name on the phone dialer screen from your contacts to look up the number?
I have an HTC TB, and the HTC dialer is great.
I hope this phone does this, or i will have to find an app I suppose.

Ok Usb host: I have not been able to try this however it was a feature in android v3 so i dont see it being removed in ICS when i get the chance il try it.
Flash: I have as of yet not been able to get it to work. I have installed flash 11 with no joy I am awaiting confirmation on whats happening with this
And no name dialling it simply displays the number however on ever page of ICS you have a search bar and you just type the name into that and it brings up the contact where you can call straight from there

no flash ??? That's gone be an issue seeing as they are NOT updating flash to support new versions

I know it appears to be an issue since adobe gave up on flash. Im waiting to hear from Samsung regarding this to see if they have any solution as its kind of a major omission esp until everyone starts to use html5
Any other Q ?

Could you show the now playing in the notification and/or music on the lock screen, I'd love to know how it looks
Because one signature isn't enough

Here you go:

Man, no flash?
I might as well just get an iPhone then I reckon.

Thanks for the video, nice and in depth, pity about the frame rate though.

Yes great video, but the frame rate ruins the experience a bit.

I think an alternative (3rd party app) for the HTC dialer would be something like RocketDialer
And Kenneth, first of all I wanted to thank you for the amazing video you posted (also thanked you on the video itself Second, I wanted to ask if you could download the most memory/processor intensive apps that you know of and see if there is any sluggish performance or noticeable lag? (A video would be extremely appreciated) Third, I wanted to know with the multitasking, does it save the last previous state? E.g. for the iphone (as far as I know), when you load a webpage in the browser, exit out of it open some other apps, and then go back into the browser the exact state is saved so it doesn't reload the page when you re-enter the webpage. Finally, I would appreciate it if you could download some free games (e.g. wind up knight, tap tap revenge 4) that require a huge amount of graphics and attempt to play it on the phone. The phone is known to have a really, REALLY, outdated GPU and I wanted to know how it performs.
Sorry if this is too much to ask, and your help is very appreciated

Hey Ken,
Would you be able to find out if OTG usb works? Particularly whether or not the Galaxy Nexus can browse the contents of a usb thumb drive? I have been asking all over the forum and over the internet and as yet still cannot find information, documentation or videos that this is possible.
Thank you very much.

Very interesting, thanks, it's been bugging me about how it looked since it was first announced.

Great vid! Any graphic studdering during games or anything? I don't play many games but alil worried about the lesser gpu.

id ask a question but at this point I'm just waiting until Monday when we're supposed to be getting this phone. I want to see what its like in person & decide then if I want to keep this Rezound or switch up.
I just hope the 32GB model is $299(or possibly on some sale). ill be damned if ill pay that price just for 16GB.

So want all the bloatware from the s3 on your one x ?
Do you even use the gestures in sense ?
Do you use Google Voice search stuff ?
If you answer no to both of those why would you need the s3 stuff because HTC already has something similar.
Whats the point in the phone making a call when you put it to your head ? you can't double check its not calling someone else or even recognized your command correctly.
Are you using sense ? if NO why do you need TW5, most UI overlays slow down phones anyway so why cripple the power of your phone for gimmicks ?
The only good thing the s3 does over the X is when it knows if your looking at it, but TBH i can't ever remember when my screen went off while reading ebooks or browsing on any android device . . .
Hell most people here running custom ROMs ditch all the voice automation stuff extra processes running extra data usage e.c.t

Slowmotion video rec app [high fps] search!

Hi guys,
more than 2 years i search for a slowmotion app like i saw long time ago on the Samsung GT-8500 (Wave 1 with Stock bada).
It worked really well but i searched and test some apps for HTC Desire ...but none worked really well.
Now im using a GT-9300 and hope their should be a cool application ?!
Please give me some tipps or examples!
Using atm ROM:
CM/AOKP based
...dont know if stockrom support this feature on camera app.
Thx Pritti

I am not sure about a specific app but there is a camera app from note 2 with fast and slow recording capabilities.. Search that in this same section..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

But is it really possible to use Stock apps on ASOP Roms? Because some stock features are nice ...but the hole touchwiz concept sucks!

Few apps might work but I guess this Camera app won't work on CM or AOKP.. Sorry, I missed that point..

Noone there who know or want that feature in AOSP Rom?

Try the note 2 camera app..it has a slow and fast motion recording. However, it is for samsung based rom only afaik.
Sent from my GT-I9300

Thx but the note2 stock application already be mentioned!

There is a slow motion app on the market. It is called Controlled Capture. It is available in Lite (free) or Pro (costs $2.99 US). There are some videos on YouTube that were taken with it under the names: "Water Drip Slow-Mo taken with Android Phone" and "Lighter Slow-Mo taken with Android Phone". Sorry can't do outside links due to newbie-ness.

Many questions

Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for few days, and i installed a JB rom on it, and there are some things i really love !
So my questions are these :
-Is there any mod, or anything to activate like on the s2/3 when you are in the messaging app, you just put your phone to your ear, and it call the contact that you are texting with ?
-Is there anyway to get the samsung's keyboard on the galaxy nexus ?
-Maybe is there any possibility to get the lockscreen ?
-And is there any mod or something to get the messaging app ?
My device is the GSM Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), running Cataclysm ROM (4.3)
I can change my rom to get these mods.
Thanks four your replys guys, and i hope you understand my english.

Someone please ?

If you have the S2 you are in the wrong section. This section is for the Galaxy Nexus, although I guess my answers will still work for you.

There is a direct call feature in some of the modded mms apps. Perhaps some market apps have this feature as well.

Searching for these would be your best bet. If you can't find them, they likely haven't been ported. Good chance the lockscreen is a no. There may be alternatives on the market to get the features you want.

So you have an S2 and a Gnex?
So basically you want some Touchwiz on your Pure Google experience...
-No, that's a Touchwiz feature.
-I believe you can sideload the Samsung keyboard apk to your Gnex and install it.
-No, that is also a Touchwiz feature and probably hard as hell to get working/ported.
-Possibly if you sideload the Messaging apk file.

Thanks for your reply, i tried the apk's and it didn't work.
I wanted the most the direct call feature, because we have '' smartphones '' but actually they are pretty dumb. And this feature is a smart feature imo.

to vanish the touchwiz lag, simply stop using touchwiz and use Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher

Yeah no lags on CM

The TouchWiz lag absolutely vanishes on CM. I also wanted to get rid of the Samsung bloat, so CM was great for that as well. I didn't have much use for the Samsung apps and TouchWiz features, and did not consider them value added. I don't miss them, with the sole exception of MultiView.

I agree with everything you said. For MultiWindow on CM, use XHaloFloatingWindow. It works great!

Will have to check that out. Actually looks like better interface than MultiView, as the method of pulling up the MV bar on the right side resulted in me accidentally opening the MV bar a lot, when simply swiping in that area.

You should stay on the beautiful lagfree stock

XHFW is a better interface. The windows can float anywhere, not just two tiled windows. I ran it in stock for awhile with MW disabled.
