It will cost me and extra 50euro if i want to bring my galaxy nexus back to the shop and swap for the gs3. So if you were in my shoes would you do it or? Please leave your comment on what you think

This is the Galaxy Nexus forum. Of course no one here will say they would take the S³.

For only 50 eurons on top? Yeah, I'd personally go for it.
Hell of an upgrade for that money.
The only reason I would do that - for the better battery time. S3 has a bigger battery and specs are promising a long battery time.

I can only give you the same advice I would give anyone when it comes to choosing a personal device, ROM, kernel, or just about anything for that matter.
Try both, see what fits you best. If you personally like the GS3 better, go for it. If you don't, don't. Do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy.
Hmmm good answers i like the s3 but love the way were getting android 5.0 before anyone else whenever its out

Why you are so excited about early updates? What updates Nexus got first than others which would be worth mentioning? Except the ICS itself?

Galaxy Nexus (GSM) = Android updates as soon as they're available. These updates include new stock Android features, security updates, kernel updates, driver updates, radio updates, etc. Essentially, updates to everything that runs the phone.
Everything else = anywhere from 2-18 months, or never.
Wikipedia, I know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Ice_Cream_Sandwich_4.0.x
Otherwise, to the OP, my previous recommendation still stands. Which device is best for you is something only you can decide, not someone else.

There haven't been any major updates. The nexus will get 4.1 and 5.0 before every other phone.

What's right. But I will repeat my question: list me the updates Nexus got first
None so far.

I love my GNEX. But if I had a chance to swap for an S3 and pay $100 on top, I would.
Hardware is better, community will be big, and the phone is much smoother and overall a lot faster in every way that I can think of.
We Canadians will be getting the 2GB RAM version in a couple weeks. I jumping on it as soon as it comes out.
And I will be keeping the GNEX since it is a very good phone still, even by the end of the year, it will still be a very good phone.

Because there hasn't been any yet. You're using a technicality. When Google finishes the next major update, it will be first on nexus phones. Besides nexus isn't about fast updates, its about having fully open kernel and rom code. That's the point. You'll never get code for touchwiz or sense framework.

4.0.1
4.0.2
4.0.3
4.0.4
And every update for the foreseeable future. Just because there haven't been any MAJOR updates (AKA, Jelly Bean or w/e it will end up being) doesn't mean it hasn't gotten every single Android update before every non-Nexus device on the market. It hasn't gotten that update yet because that update doesn't exist yet. Even so, it will get that update at least 2-∞ months before anything else, except perhaps the Nexus S or the next Nexus device(s). Most Android phones that are coming out with 4.0 are coming out with 4.0.2 or 4.0.3; and although the updates since 4.0.1 have been small, there have been several bug fixes and new small features in every update since. Take, for example, 2.3.4 which enabled video chat on Google Voice. If you didn't (or still don't) have 2.3.4 or newer, you couldn't use it. It just didn't exist as far as your phone was concerned. 4.0.3 made several improvements to ICS in general, including but not limited to graphics improvements, new APIs, new and improved camera functions, bug fixes and accessibility improvements. Not to mention that the updates and Android itself are built with this phone as the hardware reference point and more or less designed from the ground up with this phone in mind. Android 4.0.1 was released October 19, 2011 and it still only makes up 7% of Android handsets 8 months later. If Google continues releasing major Android updates in November/December, that means there are only 5-6 months left for ICS to be current, and it's easily possible we'll see more updates until then that will never appear on other phones.
Take the T-Mobile Galaxy S II for example. That phone was released 12 October 2011, a week before 4.0.1 was released. It received an update from 2.3.5 (released July 25, 2011) to 2.3.6 (released September 2, 2011) just a week or so ago. It will be finally receiving 4.0.x (IIRC the worldwide version currently has 4.0.3, which it received March 13, 3 months after the Nexus) on June 11th according to the press releases the past few days. This is actually one of the better examples of a non-Nexus device getting an update.
This whole 'argument' is ridiculous and is either trolling or an attempt to derail the thread or both. Or not, it's hard to tell sometimes. Either way, it will always be the phone that makes you happiest that is best for you. I'm done.
for another 50 Euro, go for it GS3 is way better than GNexus

That's a serious argument not to love the S3

After screen is broken - it just doesn't work anymore What a shame Samsung..
PS: Me.. I love my GN. But if I could, I would switch to S3. S3 is just a bit better.
PS2: Is it possible to have another launcher (if I don't like Touch Wiz) on S3? Like completely disable TouchWiz and install Apex or any other?
Hi,
Has anybody heard any news about android 4.1.2 update for EE Note 2 LTE (GT-N7105)? Why Samsung takes such a long time to role out updates is beyond me. N-7105 has already been updated in other markets.
Not heard anything as yet.

Thanks, Samsung is very slow on updates for some weird reason.
I see the update is in kies now. Anyone updated yet? Any issues? I'm holding back just incase there's battery drain with it.

Ok updated via kies to 4.1.2 all good so far, even updated the Note 10.1 for good measure.
Not noticed any drain as yet but it's early days, I'll check back in a week If there is any developing issues.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I went ahead and updated at the weekend. Battery seems pretty much on a par with 4.1.1. And that's without doing a factory reset too. So I'm pleased so far.

Anybody have any guesses regarding a possible ETA?
Fall like the end of September by the middle of October release time

Hi
I got my new pixel c last night and what can i say its a wicked device.
My question is do we get the monthly updates like i do for my nexus 6p. The reason is there is no new factory image on tje google site for the pixel c
Thanks
James
We should have .....I don't know the reason for delay.......

No April sec update has been posted yet. One thing though when I first got my Pixel C (A month ago) it would not do any automatic updates. I had to do a factory reset from recovery then it started to work.
To clarify that: today I should already have the april security patch level?
Mine is still from March... Do I have to do a factory reset to get it?
Thx guys!
There is no April update for the Pixel C yet
Sometimes a particular Google device gets its update a little later than the others. I recall two or three months back I think, the Nexus 6P got an update maybe a week later than the others.
Maybe they found a bug in April's Pixel C update that needs fixing before it goes out. Maybe the person that approves Pixel C updates is on vacation.
i got notice of update tonight. i'm rooted though.
I got the april update too today.
SIze of the update ?

Nothing available here in my 64gb 2 xl
Copy that, came through for me yesterday (10/18). No idea what it changed.
Has anyone captured the ota? It sure would be nice if google would post OTA's and factory images for these devices already
I got the ota yesterday. I was wondering if anyone else had any info. It's still the September security update... I thought that was weird
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I got it yesterday, went ahead and took it since mine's an unlocked version. No security update. It said fixes and improvements for features or something like that. It was pretty small too. The update seriously took like 60 seconds lol.

No update for me - wonder why some get it and others don't. Is it geographical ? I
Goode usually does a staged rollout for updates, I haven't gotten it on mine yet either so those of us without it should get it within a few days probably.
You're supposed to be able to pull it now with the check for updates button. I'm on a Google unlocked 2 XL on Verizon. Maybe it's Verizon specific?

This is suppose to be the case but it's not really true. I had a regular Pixel that didn't get the October security update till 4? days after it was released even though I had the latest stable play services, hitting check update did nothing.
That's a bummer
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Doesn't is seem odd that there is no October security update for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL? Wasn't it released in general on October 3? Why aren't the phones shipping with it? And if not, why does it exist for the original Pixel phones but not the Pixel 2/XL?
I am on Verizon and didn't get any update...

That's the version I'm running but as far as I know, that is the version on the phone out of the box.
-- Never mind. I did not get an update and there are no full OTA files posted for the Pixel 2.
