Do you see any differences between nexus and lg nitro's screen?
let's say under video, web site, some games.
I cant find any demo of both at same time to compare.
Hopefully someone did the comparison on screen.
Hi,
I´ve been toying with the idea of getting the One X and I´m wondering if there are any previous Samsung Galaxy users here. I´ve had the GS1 and presently I have the GS2. I watch A LOT of video with it, so the display and multimedia capabilities are a huge deal for me. The GS2 does stellar on both. It plays any formart/codec you may throw at it natively (no need for special players) and there is no need to go on about its´ the mind blowing gorgeous super amoled screen.
Other than these 2 major concerns I´m wondering if you can really notice the benefits of the quad core processor on day to day activities. I´ve watched several benchmarks where the GS2 was not far behind.
I just came from the gs2.
The gs2 has nothing on the one x, different class.

I came from the 2 and this is much better. Black is black enough without sacrificing other colors. Feel free to compare this with the 3 when it comes but I believe this will beat it if you want accurate colors, and not just darker black.
Thanks, guys. How does it fare format / codec wise?
It plays my flac in the HTC music app but I havent plugged in my sennheisers yet. It's supposed to sound better than the 2 even with beats off. Mkv is same as any other phone...it won't play bluray quality.
Came from the Nexus and the One X pisses all over it. Can't say on codecs as I don't listen to music or watch video on my mobile phone but as a phone it's infinitely better than anything Samsung make
just to add to that audio sound is way much better than i had on my s2. video quality top notch. All round phone as a media experience is gorgeous..good phone and good investment to get
Sold off my galaxy note for this beauty..this is just a different experience altogether in every department..simply blows Sammy away

ok to answer the question about video, the built in codecs are lacking. the specs say it will play divx etc but for some reason it wont play these if they are in avi container.
h264 plays fine.
when you go into the gallery it will give you the option to use another player if the internal one wont work, if you select "always use this player" on the chosen app the videos will play seemlessly in the chosen app.
players like mobo player, dice, rockplayer, etc will sort that out for you easy enough.
i have the galaxy tab as well and that plays everything i throw at it with the internal player.
the one x has a much better screen, if you watch the same movie side by side (which i was able to do in carphone warehouse and a utube clip) you will see how much better and faster it is over the s2.
the s3 maybe a different matter though, time will tell
I come from the Galaxy S, S Plus and S2. Don't see myself going back to Samsung anytime soon. Friend of mine went to the Galaxy Nexus and I've successfully made him regret this decision.
I´ve been reading more and more about the ONE X and it does look like an amazing phone. 2 more doubts:
- How do you guys stick a regular SIM card on the ONE X?
- There are a lot of reviews complaining about the battery life...is this substantiated?

one you need to get either from your carrier a micro sim like the iphone has or watch youtube videos on how to resize it yourself..best get your carrier to send you a new one they should not charge you for it.
two battery life has been ok for me. will get better with custom kernels but for now i can go a day without charging my phone so i am happy.
overall i would say go for this phone but hold off till tomorrow and see what the s3 is like and compare
Yes, I was planing on waiting for the GS3 tomorrow....although I´m thinking it will probably cost around us$800.

then the one x my friend is a good alternative and a gorgeous phone to have even if you do not root. i highly recommend it then as an alternative handset. i have it and i am very happy
I have both of the version of the HTC One X and I have to say that the At&t has a better camera, Images are sharper and I can take really close up shots and on the International version I can't get any close shots with out some blurr. I have played with the settings and I've had no luck. Has anyone else noticed this?
Also the At&t version has a slight yellow tint the lcd doesn't look as sharp as my international version. Battery life rocks on the At&t as the tegra kind of sucks.. The At&t version is a little faster. & I"m not sure which one I want to keep.. if the At&t didn't have a crappier LCD then i woould keep it.
I went to the At&t store and all of their demos looked just as crappy as mine compared to the International.. I freaking love the camera though..ugh..
I just used a application called screen adjuster from the android market to fix the yellow tint. Looks just as good as the international version

Well it depends. If you root or not, if you need a lot of storage, how important battery life is for you. As far as speed goes, the AT&T might be faster at things but the difference isn't that drastic.
Got my HOX recently and I noticed I can't embedded videos properly. Tried a couple other browsers with similar results.
It was perfectly possible on a galaxy Note, the phone I had/have before.
Look at the video I just made and see yourself the huge difference!

Hi all,
Having seen the videos of the Note 2 in action and read loads of reviews singing it's praises i'm almost convinced that it's time for me to part ways with my iPhone 4S and try something different (and better hopefully). So I decided to have a play with the display model in my local O2 store. Annoyingly just swiping between screens seemed quite jittery and slow and I was quite worried by that. Giving the benefit of the doubt I tried another Note 2 but this time in the Three store and that one was as silky smooth as i'd hoped. Does anyone know what O2 have done to theirs to make it feel so bad? Or does it normally still run smoothly even with tons of applications installed? And has anyone else come from an iPhone and have any tips for a smooth transition?
Thanks
No idea what O2 might have done to make their display device run so badly.
I've got a T Mobile Note 2 and it's super smooth - zero jitter or lag and I have quite a few apps installed. Even when running in multi-screen mode with two apps simultaneously displayed it is still 100% responsive
The devices in stores are usually left on for days, are plugged in all the time and have a load of crap installed to it. Not to mention the introduction videos that are constantly playing on them.
Next time you go in a store; give them a reboot

Thanks for reassurance. I'll be grabbing a Note 2 and hopefully it'll live up to my expectations.
I can confirm that O2 firmware on the Note 2 is freaking horrendous. What were they THINKING?! It is indeed slow and jerky. Even the splash screen is an abomination. And why make it so you have a big ugly notification if NFC is on?
I had to go back to it for a whole day from stock as I was returning the handset for a replacement in titanium grey and t almost put me off the phone.
Thank God for the XDA community and the ready availability of stock ROMs.
If anyone out there from the O2 Screwingwithperfectlygoodhandsets Department is listening.....just STOP it. We don't want your crummy little splash screen or a wallpaper with the O2 Arena on it. AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT YOUR SLOW ROMS.
Will admit I only lived with the O2 ROM for about 24 hours before flashing stock, but I didn't notice it being particularly jerky during that time. NFC icon though, you're quite right.
+1 I actually put new rom on within 2hours. Didn't bothered with branded
