The way we think about our nexus

When a new phone comes we all wonder, man the new htc is what I want and it has better camera, and the gps is amazing and SIRI wannabe, quad core exynos and 1080p super amoled +(this would be too much lol) ... I just want you guys to remember the we live in the best years of our lives and we don't appreciate it sometimes

Now I can say for myself that I still think galaxy nexus is the best phone in the market even tho s voice and quad core is coming out, I don't really needed and I think I won't use it(had Siri for 6 months and didn't use it much ) and I hope this help for people that always think about the next big thing.

You're right... we do live in the best years of our lives.... but its also made us too reliant on technology and a bunch of spoiled brats...
I was around for all those things he spoke of in the Video and can relate... but I guess everything is relative to every generation... Each one more spoiled then the previous.
Guess in 30 years when our cars fly themselves this generation would be like "Damn, we used to drive, uphill, bothways, on a paved road!"
Lol

Lol. This was great.

Louis is amazing, thanks for the post lol
but yeah, people expect so much and are quick to dismiss something great based off one thing they aren't attracted to... kind of sad but that's the way the world works now, its only the few that can appreciate something's significance and the rest just complain that it isn't good enough.
We gotta hand it to the 2nd group of people though, the ones who are never happy are the ones innovating and providing the rest of us with cooler things although I believe everyone should appreciate everything regardless

That video is how I feel when people say they are busy or stressed after being in the military

Great video, I have so many people I must show it to.
It also makes me feel great about just ordering a GNexus and not feeling bad about missing out on the SIII.

I stopped into the att store today and played around with the one x they had in there. Man it was beautiful in white and in grey. The fit and finish is amazing and the screen is gorgeous... looks a bit better than my GSM nexus and the look of the device was nicer as well. Too bad the rest of the experience let me down. I don't know if it was sense or what but it wasn't nearly as snappy. I know its got more muscle but it hangs in spots for some reason and browsing on it sucked! What's the point in all that beauty and horsepower when the function of the phone doesn't respond in kind? I'd love for the next nexus to be a bit more pretty in design but this thing just works. The major failure in android so far is that manufacturer customization so far has mostly detracted from the function of the phone compared to stock. The galaxy nexus, in GSM form at least is still the high bar other android phones need to measure against. I love this phone. For that, I don't think I'll have a real choice in the future between a nexus and any others. Unless a non nexus gets true stock android there will probably be something letting it down. I think the one x or others could be as good or better overall than this phone if they had just included some phone specific apps to differenciate and left everything else stock and unlocked.
Before anyone says to just put on cm or other aosp on those other devices, unless they are unlocked and have drivers available, they tend to have things missing or unstable when going stock android.

It hit me the other day that I've actually had this phone for almost half a year. It still feels brand new to me, and I marvel at how fresh it still feels with minimal maintenance.
My GS1, Desire HD, and Focus never quite ticked all the boxes, and I had to jump through hoops to get them to operate how I wanted then to. My one and only wish is for the next Nexus to be Note-sized (I pretty much only read books on my phone now). That's not happening, so I'm as pleased with the Nexus as I'll ever be with a phone.

People buy these new phones with the intention of rooting and running a vanilla rom. We have it right outta the box. No limitations. Galaxy nexus is sonning all other phones. Screw hardware. That software...ftw

[Official] Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III Thread (Chat/Pre-Ordering/Information)

Hey everyone, I didn't see an official Sprint thread for the Galaxy S3 here, so I thought I'd make one!
Official Release Date: June 21st
Pre-orders have already begun! (June 5)
Pricing: $199 for 16 GB
$249 for 32 GB
Colors: Pebble Blue or Marble White
Website: http://m.sprint.com/mobile/shop/samsung_galaxy_s_iii.html

I preordered the 16gb Marble White from Best Buy. I'm hoping they have the 32gb in by the time it launches. I got the $50 off deal from them along with some giftcards. That's why I'm not buying from Sprint.

the great thing is that if u pre order, chances are it will arrive before June 21!

All the US carriers are getting the Dual Core, and as far as I've read, they're pretty much on par with each other. Check out some of the threads on the forum, people seem to generally agree (Or, as much as one can agree on the internet) that the differences are minimal.

Also, Preordered my 32GB Pebble Blue to replace my Evo 3D that wasn't all I expected it to be.

Depends on how much 50$ is worth to you.
If you're a poor college kid, go with the 16. If 50$ is "Meh" pocket cash, then go with the 32. Lol... That's how I decided. "How badly will I miss that extra 50$?"
The answer? Not much. Lol

I went with the Marble White 16gb. After reading issues with poor memory management and now issues with the phone bending a bit, I cancelled my wirefly EVO LTE for this. I guess the delay worked out. I love HTC devices but I get a little tired of constantly flashing ROMs to have sense work right.

Anxiously awaiting my 32GB Pebble Blue that I pre-ordered yesterday. Was a bit disappointed that Sprint didn't have any decent case options available yet. I'm sure I'll be able to pick something up by the time I receive it. Can't wait to root and throw an aftermarket ROM on it and see what it can really do!

I'm thinking about getting the SIII. However, I don't really know how the development is with samsungs. I came from the EVO, the photon and now have the nexus. Does anyone know of any developers that will be getting this phone?

I was also about to get the evo lte but this caught my attention, mainly the ability to wake the phone with a physical home button. I plan to root and flash with vanilla ICS.
My only concern is will the 2GB of RAM eat the battery compared to evo's 1GB and the overseas siii quad-core 1GB model.
Thanks

I just pre ordered my 16GB SIII white a few minutes ago. I just have one question: Is it possible that Sprint will deliver the phone 2 days early? I'm leaving for college orientation the night of the 19th, and will be gone until late on the 22nd, and I would like to have my SIII when I'm down in Austin. So is it possible that it will be delivered on the 19th?

iphone 4 to GNex?

Hi Guys,
Kind of getting sick of the iphone 4 and ios now, want to go back to android . The last android phone I had was a nexus s.
What do you guys think, should I sell on my ip4 and go for the galaxy nexus or another decent android phone?
Really tempted to get a One X, but bad battery life talk puts me off :/
So what do you think? worth the move from ip4 to Gnex?? (or should I wait for ip5) lool.
thanks

eww apple crap got nothing to offer... there's many options out there... Nexus its good phone I'd only change it for the next Nexus.. nothing compares to getting the last os the next minute Google releases it...

Was moving from my 4S to the nexus today but my device has horrible banding issues so its back to the 4S for the moment.

I had an iPhone 4(okay phone, iOS is just to stagnant for me), then went to a droid charge(terrible phone). I am now on the galaxy nexus and it has been the best experience.
I would say go for it!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The Nexus is easily comparable to the iPhone, I choose to use both (iPhone 4s for personal, and a GNex for work), and I find myself using the Nexus more for music, and games than the iPhone.
It's a good upgrade, but you should find a phone that works for what YOU need it for.

The only thing I envy about the iPhone 4S is build quality.
I wish Samsung and Google somehow came up with a metal and glass design that is unique and different from crapple's iPhone.
But at LEAST the Nexus doesn't shatter into a million pieces when dropped just once.

My last phone was a iPhone4 its a kids phone easy to pick up and use.
Best thing i ever did changing for a Gnex. Apple is over priced and boring
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I love my Gnex. Compared to the Iphone 4, its way lighter and i love the curved front. I just wish it had gorilla glass as I've heard the screen is really susceptible to cracking with only minor drops.

anyone think why I should stay wth the 4? lol just for arguments sake. ...? Its not too late with getting the nexus is it? with the new nexus's to be released end of this year...

Its possible that the new Nexus will not be released at the end of the year for a few reasons which have been outlined in a thread I made previously:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747121
And I think what it boils down to is that if you want a phone that you just want to pick up and use to its full potential, stick with the iPhone. If you want something that you are prepared to put a bit of work into to attain a much better device go for Android.

Be careful when getting a nexus, you dont want one with a dodgy screen like mine.

I would recommend the GNex to the IP4
Bigger screen, more customization, lighter, less common (in my country)
I would say though IP4 gets more accessories (cases, power packs, docking stations etc.)

While your slide is commendable it isn't entirely true. The only variants of the GN to be updated are the yakju and takju. There are many more variants running 4.0.4 and in the case of Canada's yakjuux variant 4.0.2 and lower. Until there are images or Ota available to upgrade those regional versions my opinion is that the nexus devices themselves are fragmented. I'm not even mentioning the toro models whom are still waiting. At least we have the option though to upgrade to jb easily on our own.

Apple obviously sees android as competition, Google dosent. Showing up another competitor at you'd conference? Nice advertisement apple. #obviouslyscared
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The whole argument about fragmentation revolves around updates. However, if you get a low end Android, the chances are that you don't care about having the latest version of Android. That's one of the key selling points of Android - there's a low end option for those with less desire to keep up with the Jones'.
If you get a high end phone, then it's a completely different story. i(couldcareless)OS typically gets one update a year. I believe the Galaxy Nexus had seen several updates already.
Some may claim that they are just bug fixes, but every update I've seen has had value added changes also...
When you add to that the fact that a number of iOS updates have actually slowed down older versions of the fruit phone, I can't help but think they have a weak argument...

Apple has the same weakness as other manufacturers in that their main source of profits come from people buying new devices. This gives them a strong incentive to withhold features from older devices. We are already seeing this in action in the iPhone 4 which did not get Siri and is not getting turn-by-turn navigation. The original iPad was discontinued in March of 2011. The last update it got was October of 2011. So some owners of the iPad got as little as 7 months of support.
Google, otoh, makes money from online advertising, so they don't care if you buy a new phone or not, as long as you are online. Unlike iPhone 4 owners, Nexus S owners got the full Jelly Bean upgrade.
Apple fans love to throw the "f" word around and brag about their precious iDevice. They don't realize they are living in a glass house.

This is beyond stupid. Fragmentation effects Nexus devices too... look no further than the embarrassingly slow adoption of Holo by apps in the market.

No one it's perfect....just look at windows phone, some guys bought a overpriced nokia lumia with 2010 hardware and they will be stuck on windows phone 7.x .
Most android devices are still with gingerbread because they cant run ics with low level hardware, some because the manufacter sucks....not google, they always deliver speedy updates.
Sent from my Transformer TF101G using xda premium

Of course Apple can have the majority of their devices on the latest OS - strip out the significant new features that you don't want older devices to have and push out the update to those devices. Pickup an iPhone 4s running iOS 5 and you'll have certain features and functionality. Pickup an iPhone 4 running "the same" OS, and you'll have less features and functionality. Pickup an iPhone... THAT'S FRAGMENTATION.

So, someone forced you to buy your current device, and now you're "stuck" with it?

Tell any app developer that fragmentation is a choice, and they are likely to stomp your face into a mud puddle.

Wow, even Apple's pie graphs have a metallic texture to them..

I personally think OP is right. If you don't like fragmentation cm go with Nexus. Even the old Nexus S got the update... of course, you won't get the best of both hardware and software, but let's be honest, Apple hardware is ****ing lousy too... I mean come on! 800mhz processor? Small 3.5 inch screen? It's pathetic compared to galaxy nexus. Yes, the new iPhone probably will be better than galaxy nexus, but Google will probably come up with something much better later on!

Friends and their Smartphones

I just wanted to ask, if you face the daily problems like me.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I bought it because it has the pure Android.
In my private life there are those who have an s2 and are happy with it and do not want to get a new android version because "then everything is new and I don't want to explore my smartphone"
Then there are the Applers. I do not think I have to add informations about them.
And last but not least there are those who always buy a new Samsung and think they are the best now because they have the best smartphone on market.
And every group tells me, that I am stupid because I tell them valid arguments to prove that their smartphones are just not as "cool" or "that much of a intelligent piece of work" as they think and that they are facing several security lags if they don't listen to me. But ....
Do you have friends like me or are my friends the exception?

I don't compare the devices of my friends with mine. They tell me how great theirs is and I just give them QN cooldown by telling that its nothing special or that its a standard for Google since ancient times

You are fortunate that this is one of the biggest problems in your day. Consider yourself lucky and enjoy your device.

Haha I kind of know what you mean. A lot of people think the iPhone is the best phone out there, probably because its name is basically "Phone" and subliminally says "perfection". Would you rather buy something called iPhone or Ace or Thunderbolt or Nexus?
And it doesn't help that "everyone" has an iPhone, and because they just got it they have to show it off or put it in some $100 case. I remember a time where owning an iPhone meant you were on the wealthy side, but now it seems everyone and their poorer brother has one. Actually, both on and off contract the Galaxy Nexus costs more than the iPhone 4. Used the Galaxy Nexus fetches about $200, more pre Nexus 4. I got a used-but-crackless iPhone 4 in late November for $180. And we all I know iPhone 4 has been free on contract for a while now whereas the Nexus was I think $50 before Verizon ditched it, not sure about other carriers.

I have two groups of friends: the ones who have bought Nexus because I told them to and the ones I don't talk about phones with.

Yeah, but to argue with iPhone owners is like talking to a wall. They know you're right and in the depth of their hearts they see your point, but iPhone isn't just a Phone. If you buy an iPhone you're a part of something big. It's like a religion. They doesn't care if you prove them points. It's a matter of believing something or not.

Don't you talk with them because they don't listen to you or did you never tried it?

I just wanted to ask, if you face the daily problems like me.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I bought it because it has the pure Android.
In my private life there are those who have an s2 and are happy with it and do not want to get a new android version because "then everything is new and I don't want to explore my smartphone"
Then there are the Applers. I do not think I have to add informations about them.
And last but not least there are those who always buy a new Samsung and think they are the best now because they have the best smartphone on market.
And every group tells me, that I am stupid because I tell them valid arguments to prove that their smartphones are just not as "cool" or "that much of a intelligent piece of work" as they think and that they are facing several security lags if they don't listen to me. But ....
Do you have friends like me or are my friends the exception?

Stop trying to prove or explain them arguments. The lack of a non Nexus phone will show up anyway and then you can put a smirk on your face. Trying to show off and explain features and **** is similar to an Apple user showing his iDevice. We buy our **** for ourselves anyway and if someone's happy with their device, so be it.

I quite enjoy being part of the relitely exclusive 'nexus club' iv seen a few in the wild which random people own but none of my mates have one. I must admit being part of xda does make me take more notice of what people own. Those closest to me own, 2 sgs 2, 1 iphone, 2 sgs 3, 1 dhd. I had the first android out of all of them and they saw it was a superior OS and the dhd came next followed by the 2 sgs2 (both still on ginger bread even now lol) then the iPhone and then the 2 sgs 3. None of which are rooted etc but I know owning a nexus is special where as the rest don't really give two ****s and are happy as they are

I have these group of friends: the ones that own a bullcrap Android Phone like the gio (of course without custom ROMs), the Apple fanboys and the ones that dont give a f about smartphones. Actually my Apple fanboy friends are nice and are not always saying Apple is the best (for example they use PCs instead of Macs, And most of them just have old gen iPods). Here in Portugal not many people have a phone as good has the Nexus (most of those have a stable life and job). When my friends saw the Nexus for the first time they asked "is that a s3?" And I just say no and have the secret wish of killing them .

It's always funny when my friends are bragging about their new Samsung Galaxy S3 (Some of them not running Jelly Bean yet)
And then I show them my Galaxy Nexus, the first they as is, what brand is your phone? And I answer "Samsung and Google", check the battery cover. LOL. They don't understand a **** because they bought the SG3 as the holy grial.
And then I show them photosphere (It always work) and my android version 4.2.1
They really don't understand what's going on. And when I tell them the price is under 400USD unlocked they go mad.

Correction: The Next Big Thing

Now you get a story of my daily life to show you why it's a pain in the a**.
A friend of mine asked me a couple of month(around end of September/October) ago which phone she should buy. I told her to buy the Nexus 4, because it is stand of art and she would get the updates earlier than nearly all other androidusers and so the security is much higher (one of her strongest wishes for a new phone). She just answered "but it's from LG. I don't buy phones from LG."
I told her that LG produced it but Google designed and developed it.
Her answer "Yeah but on the cover there is the LG- Logo. What will the people think about me? "
After that I just got my head explode and asked why she is interested in the opinion about others. Further I explained:" If the others don't know that your phone is the best on the market, then they are the stupid ones. So f*** on their opinion "
Friend: " Yeah but they do not know that it is the best one. So where is the point in buying it?"
I told her to never ask me again.....

But aren't you sort of doing the same thing she did by getting upset because she didn't understand your point of view? Enjoy your phone and let her enjoy what she ultimately ends up getting. You don't have a phone for the same purpose she does. Besides, if it weren't for Apple, there wouldn't be the drive from Google to make a better phone and you wouldn't have a nexus to be proud of.

I wouldn't buy the lg n4 either as its no better than the galaxy nexus other than better performance with a handful of games an yes so what if it gets quicker updates so does the gnex an I hardly use stock anyway.
