Ok so im home and good to go for any questions you guys have on the phone

audio quality? compare to your recent mp3 player/phone?
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------
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

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.

In-Call Recorder

I know there's been posts about this already and I've tried about 3-4 different apps already attempting to gain this functionality, so far with no success.
My old Tilt2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 had a BUILT-IN ability to record BOTH side of the phone call simply by pressing a menu button and then selecting "Record" DURING the call, which means I could choose exactly when I wanted to record, I didn't have to know in advance and I didn't have to record the whole call. I could go back to that same menu and "Stop Recording" just as easily and then the recording would show up in the Voice Recorder app file list. (they were saved as .amr files)
I have yet to find an application (free or paid) that provides this same functionality (and preferably the same ease of use and simple features) for the Android system, and I've been looking since I first got my Epic 4g back in May with Froyo 2.2 on it. I've got GB on it now, are we ever going to get an app or a build or rom that has this feature in it?
Thank you.

We do need this for our Epics....

Because sometimes you just need to record a call

Background on this topic:
In previous threads on this topic in the Epic forums, it has been stated that it is against the law in some states to record a conversation without notice to & consent of the other party/parties.
That said, in all of those threads since the Epic's release--I've yet to see an app recommendation that panned out for those seeking such functionality.

My old PalmOS Treo had that feature, and it was perfect! Have been looking like you for that would work on the epic with no luck.
It was helpful when recieving important info while driving and not having to pull off to the side of the road and try to write things down with pen and paper!

Wth are people up to that they need to record their calls so badly. Are you guys creepy stalkers? Don't trust your gf/bf? Dump them. Jeez. Are you the damn dept of Homeland Security?

I have only used my recorder on my Treo twice in 2 years. But the times I did use it was when someone gave me super long instructions on something I can't remember, so instead of saying to the caller, call me back when I at home in about an hour (which is an inconvenience to both of us) and when I am by my computer and have a pencil and paper, I simply continued the conversation. Then when I did get home I just wrote that information down at my convenience.
It's like have All Wheel Drive in a car, most of the time you don't need it, but it sure is nice when you have it.
Obviously you have never had a need for anything so mundane, as you are always in the perfect situation, so why the heck do you need a wireless phone? Stick to your corded phone, that's all you need, oh wait, you probably have a wireless phone. You must be one of those creepy guys too!

Not creepy, trying to be SAFE while driving and when someone is giving me instructions, or their address or phone number or when I'm on the phone with HP tech support and at the end of the call they want to give me a really long case number, there are a thousand legitimate reasons to need to have the ability to record portions or the entirety of a conversation while on the phone. When you have a 2hr commute each way to work and back, you spend a lot of time on the phone and frequently get information that needs to be written down, which I can't do while driving...not SAFELY at least.
Why was this so simple for the OLD Windows WM6.5 to accomplish yet the much more improved Android can't? Is it the OS or the phone manufacturer's that are preventing this feature???
~Z

I think it's a built in function in the MIUI ROM. I'm pretty sure on my last call I saw that feature...
Edit: yup, just checked and it's there. It's a stable ROM, you may want too check it out.

I could use this in several aspects my business dealings... I would live to be able to confirm verbal contracts over the phone, create action items during conference calls while in the car & to capture confirmation #'s when paying bills over the phone just to name a few. Essentially, some of u just don't get it & automatically think the worst which shows your train of thought and personality all to well.

Well, I'd say we've confirmed that there's definately a market for such a program on our device, if not others. I guess the trick is, and unfortunately I'm not a phone or android expert, I have to revert back to one of my original questions to see where to go with this. The developers here are pretty damn good and usually fill in whatever requests are out there for apps/mods to satisfy our requests. So is the reason why there isn't already a call recording program then the fault of the phone's themselves? I've heard that some people have had complete success with a program, but only with a specific model of phone. Others say that they get only microphone input...
Is the hardware truly limiting the ability or can we find a really nice and good dev who could get around any hardware limitations (at least on the Epic) and get this ability working finally?

A bit searching and reading and you would have find a lot. There's no rom yet, but who knows. Maybe someone will do it but I don't see a reason why. As I said search and read and you'll be happy for now.

[Q] Nexus live effect on SGS2?

Hi guys, I was looking for a camera that has the features of the Nexus, I mean the live effects; like big eyes, big mouth, however the funny stuff and I couldn't find any so I installed the stock ICS one to see if it works and every time I choose the live effects option, it force closes. I was wondering does anyone here know how to get this to work.

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 ?

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.

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.
