I don't have that problem on my Galaxy Nexus, but the Nexus S had that problem. Google "fixed" it beginning with Android 2.3.3 by changing the color temperature on the screen. Stupidest idea they ever had.

Ha ya mine is purple on the menu and when all the way up its purple on the top half

You sure you bought the correct one? did you check display settings?

No problems with mine. Maybe defective display?

So what's everyone's thoughts on the One x and subsequent variants in comparison to the GN? Specifically Evo lte vs sprint GN.
Of course software and development will kill compared to the evo, but is the hardware improvements enough to overcome that?
Sure want to stay in the nexus family from my crespo4g, but that S4 chip is looking mighty fine.

I can not see my self ever getting anything other than the a Nexus ... I'll likely buy a new one every year. Right now I don't see any other phone that makes me want to stray from my decision.

I am finally done looking for the best device.
Now I know the Nexus is the Android for me.

I'm with the Nexus from now on...
I'm with the Nexus from now on. I came from a long list of carrier branded phones and the lack of bloatware and other junk the carriers heap on you was refreshing on the Nexus. Updates direct from Google as soon as available, not after the carrier spends 6 months adding junk. Also, since this is a "developers" phone, the Nexus community is very active and brings more flexibility.

GN all the way if your a flashing zombie no phone will get the dev that a nexus will. Unlocked boot loaders -huge plus-, look at the evo 3d old phone same specs as our new GN. We've almost caught Dev.

+1 for Nexus phones! Couldn't go back to a non-Nexus even though the specs may be better. Firmware > hardware, imo.

Getting galaxy nexus in 10 days, I can't wait for my first nexus device

Personal opinion
I got my nexus 2 months ago. I can tell that I am happy with it specwise, but I am not happy with the updates (yakjuxw, no 4.0.4 yet). From the performance point of view, HTC One X and S beat the SGS3, but all the custom skins make me not want to buy one and for the moment there are no applications that require 4 cores. I acquired the nexus just for vanilla and for not rooting it (my old htc hero was rooted and I tried all the available custom roms on it). So, as a conclusion, I am 90% happy with the Gnex as long as I can play Fifa 2012 and watch sopcast streams on it.

I went for the Gnex over the evo... I don't see any benefit other than the faster processor but much more limited development, a non-removeable battery, and its not a nexus . I get my gnex tomorrow I ordered it today =]

THANK YOU kennyglass123
I was tired of the crazy amount of non-nexus threads cluttering up the Galaxy Nexus forum
So any new "What about the SGS III?" or "Who's changing to the One X?" type threads that pop up outside of this one we should flag so you can lock that particular thread right?

This is how I personally decided to choose between the new S3 and Nexus, the S3 has;
-microSD
-better camera (8v5)
-bigger battery (2100 vs 1750, although latter has extended battery)
-slightly larger screen (4.8 v 4.65)
-faster cpu and gpu
-(eventually it will get CM9 and AOPK as well)
Nexus
-curved body, less ugly (opinion)
-better softwares (stock + updates)
-pentaband
-$340 cheaper (S3 16gb released price $739 VAT included vs Nexus $400, used low as $350)
-(USB OTG can alleviate the needs for microSD)
So choosing between the two weights on whether I want to pay the $340 difference for the hardware improvement, my decision is no. I can live with lower megapixels, 4.65" is fine, S3 hardware is faster but practically Nexus can do all the tasks. So I ended up ordering the Nexus. However, I'm waiting to see how much the S3 prices drop by Christmas. I predict since its a part of a popular flagship series and quadcore is still new, the price won't drop as fast as the Nexus did, which nearly half its price in 6 months. I will more likely wait for the next Nexus device if its announced by then.

I had an evo4g and that development was amazing... from cm7 and to myns to mik, etc it was great and amazing device that actually pull me from iphone... I will never forget my og evo but seems the circumstances with lock boot loader ans s on is a gamble so I'll stick secure with my nexus I got the nexus just 2 weeks ago and coming from an iphone I'm so much happy.. the ICS experience aosp is the beat IMO sure htc makes something look nice for some people but now I think aosp look so much better IMO I will definwtwly get an evo late just to play with it tho because I can't really judge till I have it reall

Thank you VERY much. We need to keep all of these random threads in one place.

No thank you guys for helping out. This was the best compromise I could think of. If it works out and everyone wants it I can turn it into a full blown off-topic sticky.

Nah, some of us are special
IMO, at the moment, none of the competing handsets are that much better than the Nexus to warrant changing but if you were due an upgrade, the likes of the One X or the Galaxy S3 have got to be worthy of consideration.
And the idea that you choose your handset based on firmware strikes me as rather odd. That's pretty much the antithesis of the purpose of XDA, which is that your handset is never limited to the firmware it ships with.
You buy a handset based on the hardware then make the firmware fit your needs.

Nexus physical problems

Hey I would like to order the nexus in the next days. Is the last batches had problems with the screen or any kind of building problems? I know that there is a chance to get a bad device...
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2

I think you may have answered your question, there is always a chance. I got mine long ago and has no issues compared to some people who claim there are flaws. I've yet to experience any.

With every handset if you look and focus on flaws you are bound to find one. Take the leap of faith

I got mine from the Play Store 2 weeks ago and as far as I can tell, its flawless.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I just got mine 2 weeks ago and I was slightly worried. While I have image retention issues and a few grainy spots I have yet to get a full "burn in". The best advice I can say is take the leap, I willingly chose this device over the international SIII due to my want to finally own a Google branded flagship... and I couldn't be happier. I played with an SIII a few days ago, and yes, the Exynos quad is bad ass but I love my Nexus. It is a truly unique, and incredible phone. In the end it is all about what you think you can live with, AMOLED is not a perfect technology, and PenTile displays take getting used to, just keep that in mind and you will do just fine

All I had was the purple screen(ordered a white one directly from amazon) then I flashed aokp and trinity and it went away.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I live in Israel and currently I am visiting the US so I afraid I get a bad device and I won't have much time to replace it.

I have a little purple tinting at low brightness, but honestly wouldn't of noticed if I hadn't read about it being an issue. I would've thought it was supposed to be that color.

[Q] Nexus VS OneS

hey,
just got my Nexus from Amazon today. Also have a One S floating around (my main Phone). Wich phone should I choose?
One S sometimes has graphic errors (due to CM 10 I think) Nexus works great and fast (for me even faster in things like Navigation like One S) but has sh**ty camera and much lower benchmarks Nexus also has NFC while One S has better CPU and Camera but Nexus feels way faster then One S
What do you think I should choose?
Thanks

Benchmarks should never be the reason you choose a phone. So based on everything else you said, the only negative the nexus has over the one s is the camera. The processor doesn't really matter because the nexus is so damn fast anyways.

How's AOSP on the One S?
That'll answer your question.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I also got both phones. I like both of them and have hard time to choose one over the other. The thing I like about Nexus is the larger screen and of course JB. NFC, I do not use that much so I do not care that much but maybe in the future it will be something of a factor.
As for One S, I love the battery life (compare to Nexus it's much better), the processor is great on One S and of course camera. I wish One s screen can be a tad larger but overall,I love One S design.
Overall, I think if I am carry a phone around the whole day, I would probably choose One S due to longer battery life, performance, and its compactness. If I am using for features, then Nexus is probably what I will choose.

fast but slower on some things like Navigation and starting some programs and it has graphic issues (dont know why) and much faster in benchmarks of course! when comparing apps like Google mail its the same speed as Nexus. Angry birds just 1 sec faster or half a sec. Any other app recommendations?

I think you got the right forum, but its possible things may have slowed way down. I am looking at the GT3-10 as well and possibly this keyboard cover http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Ultrathin-Keyboard-10-1-Inch-Samsung/dp/B00F1CRTJM/ but waiting for the price to dip a little more on the tablet. Would like to see tablet+keyboard combo around $300.

It's a tricky one to wait too long in time sensitive market where models are being released in short time span, chances are that the device won't get ongoing upgrades / support for too long. There are already rumors of tab 4 being released.
