Return SGS2 - Wait for Nexus?

I am debating returning my sgs II, while I still have 15 days left to return it to wait for the Galaxy Nexus. I love the hercules, and im not returning it because of problems, I just want ICS and I feel like even though its a top rated phone, it will take forever to get ICs on it. I also think the Galaxy Nexus GSM version will be available around the same time as verizon version. Anyone have any input?

I think you will be waiting atleast a couple of months after it released on verizon before you see the GSM version. Plus there are quite a few devices either identicle or very similar to ours. So I think once one gets ics the porting will be much easier.

Yeah its a hard decision because I really like this phone....just don't wanna pass up the time I am able to return it for full price, and then regret not returning it. You really think it will be a couple months for a gsm version? Why do you say that?

return it, cancel it, and get another SGS2 from another store
then you auto extent to another 15 days

Be careful with this. Took my Tmobile gs2 back because of the screen issues and rebooting. Got a new one with minimal line issues and it seems snappier, but the guy told me it was the last exchange in the store. Me thinking I had 10 more days. Apparently since I returned an amaze and bought a BRAND NEW phone, the 14 days did not reset for me. I was always told anytime I had a new device it would reset the return period.

Well, I bought outright, so i actually get 30 days to return Its only 15 days if you buy with contract at a discounted price. And I have thought of that also...i still have til the 15th so ill give it a few more days and see if we get any news about the nexus I guess.... i dunno

Galaxy Nexus comes mid November 17 to 28 according to the fans in the GN forum.
personally i'm not excited at all about the GN, it's like a side-upgrade compared to SGS2
if you want a HD 720 device that is as best as you can get for Tmobile
otherwise SGS2 is the top of the hill at the moment spec wise

Considering how long it took for the Galaxy S2X to show up on Telus doorstep I wouldn't hold my breath for any upgrades.
It sucks as two good phones will be out but you'll have to decide of which two has the more important features and myself I love the screen on the Galaxy S2X

its verizon exclusive as most people have said so u will be waiting a while

They did. But you will still will be waiting 3-4 months for a gsm version also keep in mind importing it might be more money then just waiting for the release. It is suppose to be released on Verizon right after black Friday. It was stated by various android sites recently. I wouldn't upgrade to it. If we get cm support or miui we will probably get ics within weeks after source drops.

Hopefully...either way maybe we will be auprised and the GSM nexus will be offered at the same time at best buy or something like that. I just wish they would tell us SOMETHING

im keeping mine ,the leaked speculation for the next galaxy phone are incredible...5mp camera and no sd slot ,that imo is going backward .i know the resolution is there and so is ICS but i can wait for it and if the next galaxy phone is anything close to being as planned then i would think it would be the right decision to keep the phone....unless you just got a bunch of money to blow then go for it

stick with the GalaxyS2 boss! like someone said earlier in this thread - we'll get ICS support fairly quickly with a ROM after source hits. specs are better on our phone and the lack of microsd card was a bit of a deal killer for us.

i'm getting galaxy nexus with 1280x720 resolutions! that is like putting your home desktop monitor in your pocket! haha
and 4.65 screen which the GS2 can never give me!

I'm debating doing the same. FWIW, I think the int'l GSM version of the GN will be available perhaps even before the Verizon version. If you're willing to pay full retail, it's an attractive option.

Hopefully..I'm leaning towards keeping it..using my nexus s right now. I unrooted and restored my gs2 today and packed it back in the box..maybe I'll go unpack it tonight lol. I'm using ics port right now btw. It's nice, that's why I want ics..I should stop teasing myself

[Q] Buy SGN or HTC One X

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to be coming to Sprint on April 15 but the HTC One X is also rumored to becoming to Sprint in Q2.
The One X is better in over all performance (PCMAG)
What do you guys think? Should I wait till Q2?

Well Q2 starts in 10 days. So you don't have long to wait
But seriously, this is a personal call. What do you think the people in the Galaxy Nexus Forum are going to tell you to get? You won't get a straight answer here lol. Same goes for the One X Forum. You have to decide whether having a Nexus is more important, or having better hardware specs is more important. Most people come to the Nexus for stock ICS and/or great hack-ability. They come here to get away from Sense. They won't want the One X to begin with.

You bring up very good points. I have had CM7 and now CM9-beta on the photon4g I'm using to replace my evo3d that got "lost" and I forgot how fast non-sense roms are. I miss it. I miss my Nexus One and CM on my Evo4g and Evo3d lol. I miss how smooth and fast it was and how I was able to customize everything to my liking. That's like +3 for the SGN. lol
Don't you think CM will come to the One series?

Ok, jokes aside, you are not helping yourself by simply asking which phone to get. We don't know you; we don't know what you like and we don't know what you want your phone to do.

lol, did y'all see the press release on engadget. the HTC One X might be revealed on April 4th.
I dunno, I could see myself picking the One X for processing power alone (im a bit of a heavy user) but at the same time I could see the slimness of the ICS stock on the SGN being so fast. But that won't even matter sooner or later with all these more powerful devices coming out.
I don't know.

Doesn't the U.S. version of the onex only have a duel core in it? If I'm right I don't see it beeping any better then the gn.

Something like that. Probably don't want to buy from AT&T.

SGN will always be the first to get updates from Google. So if you want a phone that will always be on top as far as software updates, the SGN is the obvious choice. Although hardware wise, the HTC One X is the s**t

one x its just a beast, but i never liked htc phones, lame soft support compared to a nexus.

The antutu bench doesn't seem right. one x is getting 6900 and im getting 6600 with stock values and 7000 with 1350mhz oc. is too low it should be over 10000.

I was ONE click away from the One X but...

I chose the galaxy nexus. And I'm very very very excited. At the end of the day you just have to be happy with your purchase. When the galaxy nexus first came out, I was like wow I want this phone so bad but I couldn't justify buying it since I had a galaxy s 2. Then I wanted a galaxy note but deep inside I really wanted a nexus but went for the note. Loved it a lot! Then sold it to get the One X buy deep in side again the nexus man I'm telling you I had to have it and I was one click away to buy the one x but then I went with my gut feeling and bought the nexus. I think I'm destined to have this phone after all this time. I'm so excited, I could care less about specs right now. I'm planning on getting the Galaxy s 3 when it comes out also and I'll keep both but I think the nexus is a must have. Very excited to say the least. WINNING!!!!!!!!!!! Splash!

nice, however if i was you i would have bought the one X today. sure the Gnex is awesome but its about 6 months old already and the one x would have been a better purchase

Well it is newer, and it is better. I would rather have the One X, as long as it's unlockable/rootable and I could put stock ICS on it. Then it would be a very awesome phone. As we've seen from the Galaxy S (and even the Galaxy Nexus actually), having a Nexus phone doesn't even mean you get updates first and/or in a timely fashion anymore.

Except that when Jelly Bean comes out...we will have it and it will not.
Most people upgrade their devices to get the latest OSes. HTC devices are stagnant.
So that point is moot.

Having to jump through loops to unlock/root it and not having a pure stock ICS ROM available for download is a pretty big point not making it better in my book.
Sure it looks nice, build quality seems very good, too. Quadcore is probably not yet the wisest choice for a smartphone, as it is not really necessary and eats a LOT of battery.
Just because we had to wait a few months for the update this time also doesn't mean it will be always like this in the future.

First gen dual cores blew.
First gen anything has issues. Time will tell with quads, but it will not even remotely shock me if issues show up.

And then the devs struggle to figure out how to get AOSP to work on the phone while they wait for manufacturer's source: the months of waiting for AOSP to be (fully) functional on a non-Nexus device are enough to turn me off "upgrading" no matter how good a phone looks. The fluke/perfect storm of getting AOSP to run so easily on the SGS likely will never happen again.

And it wasn't easy at all for the Fascinate. jt1134 had hell with that device. I know you were speaking of GSM devices, but I figured I would toss that in there because anything CDMA or LTE is going to be 50-100% longer than it takes the GSM counterpart.

Has ICS officially been rolled out to the I9100/can you buy an I9100 with ICS loaded? There are official Samsung ICS builds, but I doubt anyone has gotten an OTA update yet. The worst part is these official builds look exactly like GB Touchwiz.

Well, Just bought myself a Galaxy Nexus

Finally. I ordered a Galaxy from EBay and now I have to wait 5-6 days for it to come. So I was wondering what has happened in the Galaxy Nexus community.
Oh I got the Sprint Galaxy Nexus (Toroplus I believe)
Also I was wondering if there were any good fast and stable Jellybean Roms.
So glad to become part of the Nexus Family.

Make the switch, you won't regret it. The specs on the Nexus are not only better (aside from camera and lack of sd slot) but development is light years ahead of the Amaze. There will of course be a new Nexus in the next 3-4 months, but it won't be $350 that's for sure. I came from an Amaze, and a T-Mo S2 and don't regret it one bit.

im not surprised with what you just said..
ugggghhh its just so irritating. they release phones with awesome specs but then you cant developed for it....
i hate it when people say "oh we'll get the latest update from cyanogen xx.xx...."
which is BULL****... considering half the time cyanogen wont ever be as refined or close to being complete on said device considering the lack of kernel source/lack of support from the manufacture... people buying non nexus devices are just being delusional. i have come to that conclusion. maybe manufacturers need to beef up the specs of their nexus device in the upcoming years
i believe the only non nexus device that i believed had a blossoming of development is the T-mobile G2\htc vision (i personally had that phone and had lots of fond moments flashing roms in)
other than that nexus all the way. i just wish htc makes the next nexus or there would be 5 of them in the future

HTC is becoming like Apple at the moment... Their One S .. non removable battery and no SD card slot.. and They won't release their damn Kernel Sources.. they discontinue any device and take a whole lot to update them. Not to mention that if you ask and tell them that there is something wrong with your device they say "Hello we are sorry to hear. If you want to try to stay up to date and see if your phone will be able to be fixed join our completely ****ty Twitter or Facebook, because we don't give a **** about you guys, you gave us money , we don't care and we just want to get more popular."
Their support is ****.

Have to disagree with you on the "blossoming of development" part.
Have had the captivate. Which to this day. Is still going strong. And had a jellybean port before the gs3.
I had the epic touch 4g and the att gs2. Which are both still amazing phones going strong. And I am now onto the gs3 which isn't even 2 months old. (U.S release) and the number of ROMs and support for it is overwhelming.

You guys are making me inpatient. My Galaxy Nexus won't be here until 5-6 days. So all this reading is making me happy and impatient. I really want the Galaxy nexus :'3

I actually am getting a nexus on Tuesday, coming from a Droid Incredible which has working ports of - Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 4.
Its a device that won't die with great devs still, sense 3.5 roms were last developed by Newt/Joelz/Wildstang/Puremotive.
We had an amazing dev and community spot, its dying down as others are upgrading.

High development and seems to be a great and strong community plus the nexus will be my second android phone.
I don't wanna say the nexus is the pinnacle of android phones per-say but its the one fellow nerd lovers and rioters alike will rejoice in a happy community thanks to Google and Samsung.
I honestly cannot wait to start enjoying this phone! Its big enough for my hands, my 3'7 incredible.. my hand swallows this phone and I needed a big phone.
Ahh I'm ecstatic!!!

+1 on that bro, I can't wait for it to be here. And for fun's sake I even spent all night watching an Unboxing video. The only time I have ever touched the Galaxy nexus was in a Sprint store. I looked at the Gnex Screen, then back at mine. Mine looked ****ty compared to the Galaxy Nexus' Gorgeous Screen Resolution. It looked so beautiful. Messed with the UI and felt so smooth. And that was ICS. They say Jellybean is 5x Better than ICS. The moment I get the phone I'll root it and install a good JB Rom.

I just got a nexus today the unlocked version. I'm debating whether I should root it since I have the stock jelly bean. I came from an iPhone 4s. This will be my second android phone though . My first was a skyrocket. I'm liking what I see so far though.

Of course you should root! The development is astounding I personally have spent many hours molding and tweaking mine and loved every minute of it. We have some of the best and most generous devs in the world

I must say this HTC One X+ looks pretty awesome

With all of these phones like this and the Note 2 coming soon I'm curious about the new Nexus phone to be revealed at the end of this month.

Also kind of on this topic I feel that at&t gets the best phones out of all the U.S. carriers.

I wonder how good a phone google wants to build. It has to be tough trying to balance "We need to not step on the toes of those that use our OS" with "We need better hardware, but we need someone else to build it." We have seen the rumors before about Samsung wanting to split off and use its own OS, if google comes up with a nexus phone that's too good this only fuels that fire. I swear they do a nexus phone just for something to do.

I agree with you. I feel that google releases a "nexus" or "google" phone every year just to say that they have there own phone. Honestly is sammy tried there own OS, i have a a feeling it would successful as long as updates don't take as long as they usually do with android updates...

Yeah it does look nice. I might switch back to ATT just because of the One X+. But hopefully it lands on Sprint as well

Just never liked the fact that ATT locked the boot loader of the original One X

This phone is supposed to be exclusive to at&t. There has been some very interesting and exciting rumors about the future of Nexus devices today that have me pretty excited. Google will be putting out rules and specs for any phone developer to make a Nexus certified device that's controlled by Google. The phones will also have a customization option for things like touch wiz or sense if you prefer the look and feel compared to pure Google. This sounds pretty darn awesome. The first or next Nexus device is supposed to be the LG Optimus G. Or read here for the full breakdown.
