Will next generation of "Nexus" phones have on screen only buttons? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I thought that from ICS/Galaxy Nexus forward, hardware buttons would be phased out but then the One X and SG3 brought them back. Or is this only applicable to Google's Nexus phones?
After having the ability to customize the navigation on screen buttons through rooting, it's going to be hard to go back to a hardware/capacitive type setup.

Can safely assume only Google knows. I doubt they'd switch gears at this point, but that's my personal opinion.

I really don't like speculation posts.

It's a manufacturer thing. I'm sure the next Nexus devices will have software keys only. I dislike hardware keys...

Google is trying to kill physical buttons.
Look at there success with tablets.
Only a matter of time before we see phones following the example.
I hope.

They should patent it just in case

Not sure why you think its a "manufacturer thing". Google tells the Nexus manufacturer what to make. And they'll choose on-screen buttons again.

AWFUL, FAKE render. The chrome parts on the back are really offset. And why in the hell would it have ON SCREEN buttons AND A PHYSICAL button? 0_o

Witch phone to get??

Galaxy note or galaxy nexus. Like them bouth cant decide
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
my experience with google devices was very pleasant, since they all have no bloatware on them like touchwiz. if you're going to use a custom rom than it doesnt matter on the software side, the hardware i. e. camera of the galaxy note is better from my experience and the bigger screen is a +. the touchpen is also cool for draw something if your going to play that the galaxy nexus has also a big screen but the big bottom nav bar with the buttons removes a lot of space and there are very few apps that go fullscreen from my experience. the home button on the galaxy note is for me a little outdated since on screen buttons should be the way to go in the future, i saw many phones with hardware key problems after 2 years i. e. iPhone 3G/3GS Volume and Home Buttons, with on-screen buttons like on the galaxy nexus these defects can not happen.

How to use selection arrows at the edges of the screen

Also, how do you stop Android from ending the selection for you when you haven't finishes making toilet selection? Is there a trick like wiggling your finger twice to the left there times to the right to get the arrow to make it to the edge of the line at the end of the screen? Is there a 3rd party app to substitute this crap built into Android? It's not very finger friendly. What do you guys do? Thanks

Anyone sled use the Android tapatalk app for this forum? If so, have you found you cannot click on and edit/modify your post anymore? Or is it just my phone? Like my last post is empty. I wanted to either add something to it or delete it. Is there anything that works or are we just a bunch of impatient satisfaction hungry slurs that demand solutions to desired right now before you have time to make something properly functional? Excuse me. I don't know how many times I day working on my computer/phone I run into some design flaw in some program that slows me down. I would ha e just stick working with the mobile browsers had I known how crappy these forum apps would be. Hey look all cute and thumb ready with their widgets on your screen but really suck.

You try typing that and then selecting the first letter, but no cheating, select "select word" not "select all"

[Q] ICS Buttons For Note 2

The note 2 is awesome.. ok with that said, do you guys know of a program that will give me ics buttons? I could defintely use a back button thats right by my thumb. Those software buttons would be very handy. Im talkin gabout just the ics back home, multitask buttons Thanks
ps. also as a gs1 user, im used to softly pressing the home, which I tend to do on my note 2 thinking it's software lol. i actually prefer light touches but appreciate the hw button as well
I tried a popular button software from the app store but it was pixelated. (dont remembe rthe name but it was the most popular one with where you pull the ics menu from the left or right side of the screen.) id even pay for it if someone made one thats super clean just like the real thing.

Brush Stylus for Note 10.1 2014?

http://email.cassart.co.uk/c/12MbmBU6TI9bEuKFTseuXNLK8
Cass Art is world famous. Is this stylus fully optimised? Apparently it works with nearly all tablets...our screen deserves better since it is a full blown wacom digitized screen. Anyone tried it yet?

I can't justify paying £20 on it let alone £40, I'm a beginner and have just started attempting to do sketches. I think this brush would be pretty awesome. Maybe when I get good I'll biy one however thats probably not ganna happen anytime soon lol.
It's just a stylus. It's not pressure sensitive nor is it active. They made a squishy nibbed stylus. Big whoop. I don't really see many digital artists using pain stylii. They use active pens. Granted, some art on pen.UP is really cool and done with a stylus or finger, but actual professionals use active pens. They also don't use tablets like is for much more than drafting, though there are a fair number of modestly powerful tools for the hardware.
