Swapping hardware - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Ran into an odd situation, if I swap physical phones on my account can I do it while being touted on CM10 or would I have to go back to stock? Thanks on Sprint

Yep I used an upgrade on one of my 5 phones and want to swap devices. Not sure if I need to go stock so when they re provision with numbers things go smoothly

Should be fine as is.

You don't need to be stock to swap plans or move devices around to other lines in your account.
The only time you want to revert to stock is if for a warranty repair through the carrier. A lot of times they don't even care but a rom can introduce weird bugs that can be mistaken for hardware malfunctions.

Why do I get stutter?

Just picked up my nexus today. One for the wifey too. When we both have live wallpapers, my phone stutters moving from page to page but hers doesn't. Also in Quardrant, on the part of the graphics test that has a moon orbiting a planet or whatever, my phone will only do like 5fps and stutter like crazy, whereas hers does about 50fps. She is on AR and I'm on AOKP with franco kernel but got the same results with AR with stock kernel first so its not just the rom or kernel I don't think. I also tried enabling/disabling the forced GPU rendering with no effect.Any ideas?

Do you have the option for a warranty replacement?

Yes, should I do that?

Are you guys using the same live wallpaper?

You don't need a warranty replacement. The live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS and neither is quadrant.

Yes, same one. So is this a hardware issue? What exactly is having trouble? The GPU?

I think it's hard to say for sure. It could be some rogue apps running in the background on your phone that is slowing it down. I think that would be a more likely explanation than a hardware problem.

It's not a hardware issue. I would go with what the person above me said.

How could I identify an app like that? I've already looked at processor times in spare parts and nothing seems out of the ordinary...

Also, I know you guys are saying it's not a hardware issue but I don't know what else it could be when my wife's phone is identical and doesn't have the same issue

i read the whole thread. you hint here, you're flashing rom and kernel. i suggest you reflash whatever you're using, but doing a thorough wipe. or trying another kernel. the phone just came out and even though everybody says this or that kernel is stable and badass, basically they're all experimetal/beta on the fly with the constant updates.

Google chrome

Any have a version of chrome that works?
New beta just crashes upon start. Its a damn shame they have had years to code this abysmal mess.

The new beta works just fine, talk to Samsung about their f'd up kernel and leaks ....it runs great on galaxy nexus
So it's not chrome it's probably Samsung not having full hardware acceleration right in the leaks etc

A galaxy nexus phablet would be nice too lol.
If the s3 isn't a major upgrade I'm not jumping in.

There have been rumors of such but who knows...yea in az I don't have 4g so didn't matter between wimax and lte, but #1 thing I love is the same recovery all the time no built in kernel junk team win recovery is nice too...that makes it worth it to me and makes it really easier to run aokp , crossbones, cm9 , liquid smooth,miui ....and any kernel works vzw gsm ..no crazy odin el26 & flash or you brick your phone.. I loved the e4gt but it should not be that hard to flash anything

Browser Vulnerabilities

Anyone catch the news story on browser vulnerabilities? We may see some kind of factory reset.

Only affects Samsung's TouchWiz browser.

And was patched in August, sadly because of carriers having to approve of updates, many have not seen the fix yet.
Try that link with your android browser and see if your dialer exposes your imei number, if it does nothing then we're ok
Anyway, I think its only for samsung devices running touchwhizzed

This is absolutely WRONG!
I've tested this bug today on 4 devices without TouchWiz, including a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4, and it WORKS!
The only safe device I saw was my Galaxy Nexus with 4.1.1 stock rom. All the rest were vulnerable! Be careful!
This is definitely going to have to be addressed, I'm surprised no one has caught it sooner

Then you should submit your results to Samsung. All of my phones bring up the dialer. That's not the issue. Only my SGS Vibrant on Android 4.0.3 brings up my IMEI as well from the stock browser. That's the issue.
Chrome is unaffected.
Just did it to my ns and gnex and I'm good

Just like project butter, there was a rumor of a Project Roadrunner to optimize battery life. Personally the only things that I looking for is that and a more unified and polished looking OS in terms of design language, colors used etc.
Android is moving in the right direction. They have the momentum. All they need to do is 'dumb' it down a bit and make it 'prettier'. To have some of that 'android is for geeks only' nonsense banished. Maybe have like a BASIC MODE for new users.
I agree that Samsung should not be the company that knows when the release will be available, i think it is Google as they are the developers of Android, so it gets back to Google then not Samsung as they are just a hardware manufacturing partner (one in many, like LG & Sony)
Dont worry about features, Google will come up with surprises, have patience, and enjoy your phone
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's still to early to talk about this..
We'll probably hear about it at Googo I/O in June, with it launching in July with the Nexus 7 2.0.
So, you can expect it to launch for the Note II around December or January/2014.
The only thing I expect from Samsung is to make a iTunes for Android.
However poor might be apple might be in any terms, no one can deny that iTunes is awesome. You can backup easily, restore easily. If these features get unified into kies, I don't think much would be left to complain except for root in Stock rom
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Obviously note 3 will have key lime pie, just very exciting to think of what we will have for the future, and where will the new features be, an example would be the multi screen view, that wasn't even announced at the conference, or the note 2 event, yet it is fantastic,

Depends, if Note 3 is already in the works - obviously they will include 4.2.1 first, as there is no 4.3/5.0 available while the manufacturing process is undergoing. One thing is certain though, both Note 2 and Note will get KLP.

Its rubbish for synchronizing, limited options and lags on older computers. There are far better programs available, I use MobileGo and it works like a charm.

SVDO is the only reason why I'm skipping to the next release, hopefully they'll add it back. But also because it's not that impressive.

You should have waited a little bit longer and got the note 3. I think it might look something like this since it's supposed to have a flexible display.

Has any one developed an add on for S Voice. In the past I had a Iphone 4s and jailbroke it. Then added some files for Siri. When you launched Siri I would say load brain and Siri would be much funnier, and have great comebacks. Is their an android version?

If the GNote 3 looks anything like that I'll be buying one the 1st day it comes out.
The only thing holding me back getting the S4 is USB mass storage. Not sure why Samsung does not allow that.

Rumors say that it's benchmarks are lower Sg s4
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Benchmarks are double that of the S3. Battery is slightly better. My only complaint about the s4 is that sSamsung bloated the software so much that only 8gb is available on a fresh device. After removing bloat I was able to get it to about 9.5gb but that's still not much.
I only got the s4 because my daughter needed a new phone and I wasn't going to pay for another s3 when I can pay a little more for the s4 and pass down the s3 to her. I will still be around the s3 forum as there is 2 of them in the family.
As for the note if I am not wanting something that huge. Might as well carry a laptop or a tablet and put on Skype or something similar
