Multitouch issue or what

Hi guys i was playing with asphalt on my galaxy nexus and after a 30 minute of gameplay. I noticed a problem with the multi touch. When i tried to touch the brake and steer control the game wasnt respondind on both of them. Then i installed the multitouch test app and after some heavyduty job the nexus wasnt able to recognize multitouches but just one at time. After a fresh reboot it was able to identify 10 touches at same time what do you think

This a known problem with the GN. You can watch videos on YouTube discussing this issue.
No need to reboot the phone to fix. Just hit the lock screen button and then unlock. Hopefully an official fix is coming soon.

Has to hit the AOSP first.

Android-Building google group.

hopefully it's rolling out to us all within a few weeks (2 or 3)

One advantage of having a big family is that someone needs a new phone you give them ur galaxy nexus and get urself a nexus 4 to replace it....
But 4.2 is gonna be so good on both phones!!! I just wonder obout battery life cause im rolling on the extended bat for the gnex... i hope battery life will be much improved with the nexus 4 with its updated hardware..

I was just thinking same thing. When is the 4.2 release for our nexus gonna come? Lol.
The new nexus 4 looks nice but I don't like the non removable battery idea. Oh well. I'm happy with my galaxy nexus anyway. Very happy.
Just got it about a month and a half ago.

Sometime after 13 November. Watch for Google to post the binary updates for 4.2 and the yakju/takju rollouts should follow shortly.

When they announced the Nexus 7 back in June....and Jelly bean...I think they released a couple of days later. In theory this should also apply. What do you guys think?

If I recall correctly that's been the norm for most of the android releases. But my memory isn't what it once was so I could be wrong.

I think you are probably right unless they decide they want it under wraps until release..

I'm gonna be still sticking around WFS for some time, but Nexus devices are tempting, because I'm not really a fan of "value added by manufacturer" (read. Sense etc: :laugh

Should I buy the Galaxy Nexus?

Hey guys,
I am looking at getting a new phone and my requirements were:
1GB RAM
4.3+ inch screen
720p display.
The Galaxy Nexus caught my eye as it has all those things. I don't have a huge budget (£150, or €175, $225)But I am slightly concerned. Firstly because it is an old piece of kit. Now, that doesn't bother me if it performs well and gets the latest updates, but that's what I am worried about. Secondly because of Dev Support. I need a phone that will be supported for at least a year.
Please tell me what I should do. I am willing to buy a used device. If you think I should get something else, please let me know as to what device you are thinking.
Thanks!

Don't buy this phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

Extend your budget go for a Nexus 4 or maybe wait for the next Nexus. Galaxy Nexus is a great phone but let's face it, it's been around for a while... And I doubt if it'll get official updates for the coming year
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If you want it, then buy an extended battery with it and IMHO one should also buy the charging port flex board which may stop working anytime.
Whether or not it gets official updates, it will receive the custom ROMs. But then again why would you go for a 2 year old product?
Get the n4 or the n5 when it releases

Get the s4 or wait for new nexus at end of year.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Go for nexus 4.....though I'm not saying that Galaxy Nexus is not good, but it has now become somewhat old and won't get support from Google as Nexus 4 will get. Though you always will have support from the custom ROMs....but not stock ROM from Google itself.....so go for Nexus 4 rather than GN.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

Screw n4 and its iphone-ish glass back

Okay, popular opinion suggests that the N4 is my choice. Is there anywhere I can pick it up within my budget?
Thanks!

The n4 is old as well, considering the new nexus will be out in a few months, the n4 has been a blunder from day one an forgotten about due to its terrible launch an unavailability, so people just decided to boycott it an skip it altogether, lg have even said themselves it wasn't on the list of priorities to get that phone out, I don't think google would bother asking lg a second time to make another nexus with that kind of poor effort or attitude.

So here I am.
I have been watching a load of videos comparing it to Samsung flagships, HTC flagships and some weird devices made by a fruit company. The hardware has EVERYTHING I want for my upgrade. Almost double every spec to my current phone. My only concern is updates. Does this device have 4.2.2 Officially? Will there be 4.3 and 5.0 for it unofficially, if not officially? I need it to last for a year.
If you can answer my questions, I will be extremely grateful. My other option is the Xperia S, but it costs too much, bigger camera then I need and no official 4.1
Thanks Again!

Android 4.2.2 is officialy suported on the galaxy nexus and 4.3 will normally be that too but for 5.0 nobody knows.
And yeah I love the phone and it's getting old but it is still a good phone

I bought mine a few months ago for exactly the same as your budget and I am more than happy with it yes it's old but not everyone can afford to get a nexus 4 and to be honest it's a bit to much like the iPhone with it's glass back the gnex gives you plenty of bang for your buck IMO
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If you don't need the good cam, HDMI and so on, go for a GNex. As far as dev support's concerned there's no need to be worried, even the Google Nexus S (maybe the WFS too?) will get Android 5 (unofficially).

I've had mine for about 6 months and have tried just about every ROM and kernel out there for it and it's been great. I think you would be fine with it for a year or so with the support it has here.

Galaxy Nexus Dual-Core Performance

Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a new android phone. I have to chose between Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Htc SeNSATION.
I want to for Galaxy Nexus. but I'm wondering which will be the best for me.
I will use the phone mostly for gaming.
Which one should I choose ?? S2 has better performance for gaming but there is a big difference between it and GalaxyNexus, should I trade the little performance for the HD Display ?

Out of those three the galaxy nexus performs the best. It is the smoothest of the three.

Google would never abandon their baby. They're practically like a lioness, left the Nexus S to wander and grow on its own and will come back for it when KLP comes out. As for 5.0? Sammy and HTC can kiss updates goodbye, permanently. Those would probably never see the light of it.

GNex for sure
Reason: Its a Nexus device okay?

i'd agree that the Galaxy Nexus is the best choice among those 3, and the only one that will see 5.0/KLP. i will say that the processor is showing its age a little bit, but i'm not the biggest TI fan.

No brainer bro, get the GN! Heck, I'll sell you mine. Just got a brand new one from Verizon cuz my old one's charging point went out (2 years old).

Anyone who claims to have an answer to this is purely speculating. No one knows whether the GNex will see 5.0 or not. I hope yes... but after the Nexus One got abandoned, I'm not so sure the GNex will see 5.0

nexus s was abandoned already with android 4.1 (maybe because of 512 mb ram?)
so we already lucky to get 4.3
I don't have so much expectations to get 5.0..google is focusing a lot on nexus 4 / 7 / 10 ...our gnex is 2 years old, and the gpu is 3 years old, it's not slow, but useless to support..this is my thinking..we will see when 5.0 come out

Hey man, I'm interested in The Gnex, Do you think its still worth buying it? If so, i think youve got alot of knowledge, and im stuck with a galaxy Y, i want to change. Will the nexus be a good choice now? In Mid 2013? And if i get it, how long can it last with me being bored of it?

Gnex is very good. Especially considering that you can get it for less than $200 out of contract on eBay.

It was abandoned because 4.2 introduced the multi-user /0 folders. The Nexus S would need a full wipe (sd included) and they didn't want to push it out due to this. If it wasn't required to full wipe it during the OTA, it would've gotten it officially.

Why are you guys telling the OP that the Gnex will get 5.0? Nexus devices only have 2 years of support.
As far as Google support, the Galaxy Nexus will get 4.3.X and no further. It's up to the community to put 5.0 on it.
