Worth switching over? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Okay so I just dropped my HTC One S and it completely shattered the screen.
I'm getting a replacement and I'm going to sell that replacement.
Question to you is, how is the Galaxy Nexus?
I might get a 4.1 Jelly Bean one for $350 from the Play Store?
I know it's going from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz but I'm not sure here, help?

It's not bad...depends on what you want. Everything except the camera is good on galaxy nexus.

You don't get it...

One S is pretty fast phone, and what I see here is it's going to get JB pretty soon.
Galaxy nexus is pretty laggy on ICS, but very smooth on JB.
So it's the matter of few months for One S and JB, if you want new OS ASAP GN all the way.

They said they're "working on Jellybean". NO SH~T they're working on it. Doesn't mean that its coming soon. Just look at the past... If you think that HTC will update the One series to 4.1 faster than they've done previous updates, you're losing your mind.

I'll explode if I find out HTC is actually taking something seriously(by that I mean actually hauling ass).

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

I thought the one s the was the best phone for tmobile so I bought it coming from the gnex. Looking at the screen I immediately regretted my decision. So I switched back and now with jb I won't consider anything else for awhile

I came from a g note and the nexus is plenty fast, but as is said on here over and over, nexus was never famed to be a hardware monster. It is known for software and dev base

My GNex is hands down the best phone I've had. Camera isn't ideal but still works great to snap quick photos. JB basically made it a whole new phone... no lag at all and fantastic features.

and what does this suppose to do with the fact what I have said?
If you had exynos version you know what I mean.
But don't forget I'm rocking GN on jelly bean and loving it. But that doesn't mean I can't say some bad about it.

2 things to consider if I were you:
1. If you want the pure Google experience, not a hybrid vendor/android phone; definitely the GneX or wait until later in year for the Nexus line.
2. If you prefer a bit more "powerful" hardware right now, the Galaxy S III is the best option in my opinion. Of course you have to deal with Carrier lock and Samsung's TWiz running on top of Android OS.
Both are win win situations, just depends on your preference...

Im in your boat, but i thought about it and its like, what would you go to? Downgrade to a GN with no SDcard slot and crappier camera?
Well eventually get ICS, MAYBE CM9, and when ICS is out some roms based on it. I wont spend hundreds just to get ICS a couple months early on crappier hardware.
I may sell it in the summer for a GSIII depending how that looks, but i wont side/downgrade.
Any reason why you guys didn't post this in his screen fix thread directly? He's still responding to questions over there
I really don't get the whole ICS gig! People act like it's the second coming of christ! I mean WTF! Lol this device is already awesome with outout christ or ICS!

Going from ICS to touchwiz GB has been, less than exciting. Luckily the hardware is so awesome.
+1. So what's going to happen when you get ics and then announce the next version.? You guys will be in the same boat again obsessing and asking when how to get it and where the devs went. I just can't believe people forked out 500+ dollars for this phone only to ubderplay it because of another phone. If you knew that the nexus was coming out why weren't you patient enough to just put your money on that. I love my gs2. Its getting o
Ics one way or another but for the meantime I am perfectly happy with my purchase for what my phone is now.

Understandable, (un)fortunately there really isn't a better option unless its the Exynos version or the GNex, and i like the term "side"-grading because that's really all it is. What's bugging you about it? I think I'm GLAD that I can take a rest from all the flashing and sleepless nights battery calibrating finding the best combinations of roms and kernels (this is my first android, coming off 4 years of Bberry). How will a new device change your user experience/expectations?

Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II got ICS, but nexus ICS is a better version.

Even with Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II with ICS it seems it didn't give them much of an improvement. i'm pretty surprised I guess we really do have the best software. GO GO GO GO! FLAG SHIP GOOGLE PHONE!

Like I said before, why would Google bother releasing 4.0.3 for the Galaxy Nexus ota if the bugfixes are almost nil in it for the Galaxy Nexus?
"Hey, have a new api level and new power menu artwork, we aren't fixing any of your bugs other than formatting nfc tags though."
I think that would make people angrier than now. Of course, newer must be better, so what do I know
Version numbers mean everything though!

Jelly bean

So is anyone excited for this update like i am i know its not a major one but what we do have is great
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT
i think jelly bean is exciting, a massive speedup in terms of the UI, new notifications, new stuff in the play store. awesome speech stuff and new google search... and thats just what i can remember
smh. One whiff (a small one at that) and noses go wide open.

That will never happen. The only way JB is hitting our phone is if we do it.
I'm really thinking of going back to a Google phone. Less of the features I really want, but at least the new toys hit it first and fast.
Oh and yea Galaxy S is getting it!! But Sammy will never push it to our phones, and you all know I'm right.
i think for the most part the new notification is by far what im after camera upgrade to
Offline voice actions will be a huge help to the utility and speed of voice commands. Other than that, meh. Of course I'm excited though, and will flash anything
I'm definitely waiting for the next Nexus for my next phone purchase. It's hard to not get caught up in the GS3 hype, but its such a minor upgrade to our phones' specs......the GS3 will be many, many months before it sees 4.1.
Hope Samsung port it to the S3 fast. So we can use it. I like it really much!
So guys ... keep it rockin' ;-)

I'm guessing because most people wouldn't be toting a tablet around to take pictures of other things besides themselves. With my original galaxy tab, I was surprised how well the back camera did for video but it was too easy to cover the mic with your hand when in landscape mode. Also, the official portfolio case for it covered the rear camera and led.

A little OT but all the laptops that google is using during the google IO are Macs.... LOL
So I didn't have an android phone during the froyo to gingerbread update, which from my understanding is more like this than 2.3 to 4.0. I know we have had lots of trouble with kernel source and all sorts of other issues. Was this due to the fact that it was such a big difference, and so maybe this time it would be easier for our great devs to get this going for us once code drops? Obviously we can't know for sure until then and I'm not trying to offend anyone or seem greedy, I am just curious if this is how android works, or if not.
Thanks.
That is because google banned windows a long time ago from their offices.
So, can anybody think of any good reasons why we couldn't get the new voice search and Google Now on our phones now? I personally don't understand why we would need a new operating system for that. But, I really know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with programming and development, so I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts?

Any users coming from the Galaxy Nexus?

Hey, it's mod, and i was wondering if there is anyone who made the switch from the Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy S III. If so, do you prefer it over the Gnex? Or do you miss AOSP Jellybean/ICS. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Galaxy S III off contract because of an issue my Gnex is having so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I am considering making the switch over. I love the GNex. Maybe I'm just a little bored with it? Though I do get bored with my phones easily.
The camera is making me want S3. And I also wouldn't switch over if there wasn't a good AOKP/CM10 ROM for the phone. I will likely get the S3, and then that same day install AOKP or CM10.
I made the switch from skyrocket...that's totally unrelated but I always used your ROMs M0D! Hope u decide to make the switch

Trying to get back on topic...
I had a Galaxy Nexus for a couple months on Verizon before switching to AT&T and getting the GS3. I figured if I didn't like it I could sell it and buy the GSM Nexus off contract. So far I'm happy with it. The two phones seem to perform about the same for me. The GS3 has a slightly faster processor and more RAM, but I think the difference between stock Android and TouchWiz balances out the better specs. I fully expected to flash an AOSP ROM shortly after getting the phone, but I actually like some of the feature of TouchWiz such as the quick SMS after hanging up from a call (I've always thought voicemail was silly). Battery life has been about the same, possibly a little better on the GS3. I'm assuming the larger battery is balanced out by having more processes running on the phone.
Overall, I'm happy with the decision to switch to the S3 instead of getting another Nexus. I love the inclusion of an SD card slot plus the larger screen. The only thing I don't like is the decision to use a physical home button. I'm fine with going with capacitive buttons instead of the navigation bar, but I don't like having a physical button apart from the power/volume. It's obviously not a big enough issue to make me regret the phone.

You forgot the camera. The difference is huge. There are some things I of course miss from my Nexus. But overall, the GS3 is the better choice for me.
i miss my nexus sometimes but i love my galaxy s3 and the camera is amazing on it compared to the nexus i just wish more ROMS would get released already for s3 thats why i missing my nexus i was a serious crackflasher lol
My S3 should be coming tomorrow. Really excited for it! I'm not a big fan of touchwiz tho and I really enjoy using Google Now and Jelly Bean. Do you think I should go straight to flashing aosp or should I hold off for something more stable?

Depends on if you can go without Bluetooth, and Camera and the other random things that may happen in your experience with it. But the new touch wiz isn't that bad so you may be able to deal until something stable drops.

Google Now on ICS. However, I find it doesnt always work or work very well. Worth a shot though.
Thanks guys! I'll be getting a SGS3 soon and my ROMS are coming with me

Will there be a decent amount of community support?

Lately I've been noticing a lot of developers saying that they are going to quit developing for samsung due to the lack of support they are are offering to the community. Do you think this will affect the releases of ROMs or user fixes to the point of not being worth it to buy this device? Thanks.
The community will try to cook rom for all samsung devices, but when these are not very popular or will become old will be abandoned

Yes, i`am convinced it will be supported well. The GN2 will be even a bigger success as the GN1 i believe. Getting mine in 5 days
I think there will be some type of good support.. I mean it's still pretty early in the release... And I'd still buy it if it's not supported by a lot of roms.. Doesn't take away of how much of a beast the phone is

Exactly. Right now I don't even feel the need to root this thing, it honestly is already perfect to me.
Op where did you hear that more devs are gonna stop developing for Samsung?

He is talking about Codeworkx and the CyanagenMod team, they`re mad that Samsung isn`t helpfull towards dev`s regarding the scources wich come late or not at all.

But what about adblocking, making titanium backups, uninstalling bloatware, installing custom kernel`s and many other perks. I would miss those things to be honest

how does THIS make you feel?
If anyone has the OG Note, even that device doesn't have amazing support. At least we have CM tho...of which I'm running PA 2.17 CM10. However, as long as the GN2 receives CM10, all will be fine. I'm torn with how I feel about CM possibly abandoning Sammy...the GN2 is really all about features, that's what makes it better. CM just neuters spen features anyways.
I personally am excited for just having the GN2

+1 And there is a big chance Mike1986 is going to develop Android Revolution HD roms`s for the GN2. He allready supports the S3 now.
I have played with the idea of getting the Sprint version when it comes out. But, I would still work on my HTC stuff too. Only problem is that I'm not up for an upgrade and I am not buying this thing right out lol so we will see how it goes.

I think you should do it man. I went out of pocket for my s2, but the timing was perfect so now I'm eligible for an upgrade. Plus, I love your work when I had my evo :thumbup:. The Note community could definitely use your mods/roms.
