yes.. that would piss me off.

Like the Article says. This industry is moving so fast forward that every week there will be handsets with better hardware out, so we don't have any reason to be "mad" on Google/Samsung for improving the phones.
The same thing happened to my first android, the HTC Magic. It later came out a improved version (MyTouch3G), and for my second handset the SGS (Samsung Galaxy S Plus).
Technology is a ugly ***** that seems to be on your side for one week, then bite you in the ass the next week.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.

It is kind of annoying, you pay 'X' amount for a phone, or upgrade for a price and then so-and-so gets more RAM (T-MOUS, HD2) or more storage in the case of the Nexus Prime.
I think the only time it's worked in reverse, that I know of, was the early HTC Desires had AMOLED screens and latter versions had LCD.
I can see why people go for iPhones, at least they are only moving the goal posts once a year!

Only thing that would bother me is if they use displays and radios that don't have all these issues.
Yeah I would love the faster cpu and graphics, but having a display and radio that works is #1 priority.
My guess if true is new model coming out for sprint, I don't think that coming out until June so sounds about right by then ours would have been 7 months old.

well my radio personally seems to be fine, only going by what i see in tons of other threads.
My display sucks...I have hade 4 nexus, each one has a different display issues, so even though I keep exchanging, I keep getting one with a different issue.
First one was vertical bands, second all this purple all over, third purple greys and blue tint, and finally my last one is perfect except a line down the middle of my screen on any sort of grey/white background

I've only recently come across people with screen issues. Aside from white backgrounds looking a little like linen when using very low screen brightness, not that the linen-type pattern bothers me at all. I've been pretty impressed with the SAMOLED HD screens.
I've avoided Samsung phones for a long time as I didn't like the look or build quality of past devices, but so far so good for me...
*touches wood*

This won't happen because the whole point of a Nexus phone is to have a stable platform for each new OS. This having a new SoC, and this long after the official Nexus release means it's probably a false rumour. 99% false I would say. All Nexus phones so far have ALL been on 1 standard SoC, just how Google wants it to be.
BUT, if they DO release such a phone, the original Galaxy Nexus owners would be so royally pissed~

This is the most sensible comment I've seen yet regarding this stupid rumor. If Google and Samsung released a Sprint Galaxy Nexus with a different SoC, they'd have to maintain two different sets of updates.
This is just some joker who fooled nenamark by using a build.prop hack.

Maybe not a joke,but a tester who needed a working market fingerprint for 4.0.3. For all we know, its a tablet.

This would almost be like taking the Nexus line and making it a carrier exclusive to like Verizon or something..
Not what Nexus is about.

I must have worst luck in world then.
If I keep screen at 100% brightness then it is not noticeable and I can live with it. But there goes my battery life. I like to keep it at auto brightness..oh well think going to call verizon and tell them to send me an extended battery for free least they can do.

I think you're replying in the wrong thread dude..

I'm leaning heavily toward bogus rumor but it is not a totally different soc. So who knows. Would make a lot of people happy and a lot more passed off that already purchased a nexus. I'm in the boat that would keep mine and be happy with what I got unless the "upgraded" nexus mysteriously has same or better battery life.
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.

Samsung/Google won't do it without a model change. This would be unprecedented in the Nexus world. I really doubt it would happen. The only other change to hardware like this would be the Nexus One moving to S-LCD, but lets face it, that was out of necessity.

Yeah, it really is totally out there. This is all based on a benchmark score that read the device from the build.prop. Zero evidence to back it up anywhere else.

I made the leap - pretty sweet so far. the widget bar is kinda buggy. when i installed the widgets, they all showed up in one spot so i can't choose which one i would like to add.

few other things i noticed:
-only default theme is available (not surprised here)
-very VERY smooth with neat animations
-takes a little to get used to (i keep tying to swipe left and right on the main launcher screen to change screens - that's not the case anymore)
-for the weather it says i'm in a city 20 minutes away
-hitting menu brings up: add, manage apps wallpaper, themes, tsf homepage (brings up browser), and system settings
-cool animations, kinda like what one would expect in golauncher
-after downloading new app, the app shows fire on it like advertised - however, the fire doesn't animate while in the launcher unless you switch screens. not too worried about this lol.
-doesn't look exactly like the one on the video they provided months ago. not a good or bad thing as the changes are only minor.
-giant button at bottom right is cutting off one the bottom-left-most app. can't see the whole thing.
kinda like spb shell (from what i've read), there aren't many settings like other launchers.

Well I couldnt hold back, I bought it for the 15 min refund time and well, I refunded it. It was extremely smooth. Loved the animations, hated the price. Way too much for something that doesnt give you a lite version to get used to before making the leap.

They are smoking crack asking that much for a launcher when you have Go and other launchers for free.

[Q][discussion]Cool software features of GS3 ported to our Nexi

A couple of things that I would like to see on custom ROMS
SVoice. First of all I really don't care about SVoice. But I find pretty cool that when alarm rings you can just say "snooze" instead of wondering in the dark where is your phone.
Eye tracking to keep screen on
Direct call
Auto tagging of photos
Is this possible for the ROM developers? I mean the hardware is there, right?

There are a few random threads about some of these features. Basically if what I read in them are correct we will need a port of the new TouchWiz. And it hasn't been released yet so its not available to port.

Eye tracking is going to be such a battery drain, LOL.
Running a big screen and FFC together throughout the day is going to be a killer.

I was afraid for something like that...I don't like AOSPless interfaces but I am open to the new TouchWiz. If I find a ported ROM, I will definitely try it. I guess we have to wait a month+ to see something though.

I had a 3M one for my Incredible, it was PERFECT! Did exactly what I needed to, to stop nearby lookers peaking at my screen! All my friends would always comment "how are you able to look at your screen because its so dark!", and I'd show them and they'd be amazed. Sensitivity was never an issue, and the protector was very smooth, not like the other cheap brands you see on eBay and Amazon.
Def well worth it, I'm just waiting for them to release it too. I actually emailed them today asking when they'll be available for purchase. Hopefully soon. Will keep ya updated.

why diminish the screen quality with this. im sure 99.9% of the populating wouldn't give a crap what you are doing on your phone. lol..

[POLL] does our Nexus really have a defective display? TRY THIS WALLPAPER and VOTE!

hi all.
i think my display is defective. i've read many thread about it but i haven't found anyone describing the same exact issue, very noticeable horizontal lines.
however, since i've also read that someone who sent the phone to samsung, received it back with another defective screen, i'm asking your help.
is this problem, exactly this one, so widespread and i have to live with it or i'm just one of the few and, since it's still under warranty, i should send it to samsung immediatly!? :fingers-crossed:
there are 2 attachments, the wallpaper i ask you to try (it is more noticeable with red, but it appears with most solid colors) and a photo showing how mine looks like, screenshots don't reveal it.
do you see the same effect?
this is not a rom issue, i've experienced it with all the roms i've tryed.
thanks a lot for your help!

Go for it, but that's if Samsung actually won't charge you for it, I feel like they'd claim you damaged it, being the assholes they are, and then charge like $200, in which case you may want to either get a new phone or buy another GalNex from eBay.
Good luck, warranty claim sucks lol

no lines on mine

OMG!! Its a defect?? I thought this is how gnex is....

Sent from my defective Nexus.

Actually this is Samsung screen. I used to have it on my Galaxy S and when screen broke and I got new screen, it was the same like this.Galaxy S3 of my dad has it. my Gnex has it. But not that much. But the lines should be vertical. Your screen is probably messed up because even that is normal, you really have to focus to see this with naked eye. Those lines also appear rarely.

Wow, mine is perfect. I'm awesome (jk)

I could barely see any lines but I do have the horizontal lines. Mine are most noticeable on white backgrounds and stuff, mostly the browser. It bugs me but it doesn't, it's not too bad and it goes away completely with more brightness and gets worse when the screen is really dim.

thank you guys for having shared your experiences... thanks a lot!
let's see if we can increase our significative sample...
