Nexus prime needs to drop now!

[conqueror]

i bought a galaxy s2 about a week ago, battery life sucks but i just got juicedefender so hopefully it helps a bit.

are there any 'must have' apps? i am totally new to smartphones.

Nexus prime needs to drop now!

yes. I love my NS, looking forward to seeing what it'll be like. if this teaser shot is realistic, the shape seems pretty wild.

Is the nexus prime and the droid prime the same phones?

[rungo]

I have the G2X, and though my network downloads are a bit sketchy speed wise, its entirely my network (on Wind in Canada). Other than that, its been great, runs pretty much everything well, and the only issue I've had with it, is the proximity light sensor for calls has bugged up a couple of times (twice in three months), fixed with a shutdown and a 5 second battery removal.

Is the nexus prime and the droid prime the same phones?

yes, i believe they are. Droid Prime will be Verizon

[michaelttizzle]

Anybody have an older 4+ in phone that they're looking to get rid of for cheap? Was messing around with my friends Samsung Infuse and I just realized I like the larger screen, thin phone better than my Droid 2.

I assume droid is a name verizon slaps on phones to make it "theirs", but the phone is called nexus prime.

[Oscur]

^ yeah that's what it seems like. anyways it might be released on the 19th now

4.7 @720x1280 lol

dunno why they still have such shitty cams

[OTL]

moto droid razr looks sexy as hell

[percy]

as someone who has only had an iphone but have been looking at other options i wondered how people with the larger screened phones like them. does it make usage nicer? internet browsing etc.

for those who have seen the 'galaxy note' do you think 5.3 inch screen would be too large as an everyday carry?

[NatseOklim]

I have Voodoo on my Galaxy S, going to try and install Cyanogen. Let's see how badly that goes...

[NatseOklim]

^Very badly so far, won't boot out of recovery now and the "stock" rom I've downloaded doesn't seem to want to flash.

[albinolove]

Damn, I actually threw Cyanogen on my Sensation last night. Got scared when it stuck in a boot loop at the CM7 loading screen, but I restarted to HBoot, cleared the cache and then cleared the Dalvik cache, reflashed and it worked fine.

Also the dudes over at the XDA forums are super helpful, I'd hit them up if you haven't already.

[NatseOklim]

I'm going to try and flash it again with a different stock rom in a minute, if that doesn't work then i'll try xda.

[NatseOklim]

Managed to get stock Froyo working on it, phew.

[TruMoo]

I NEED THIS

SFCY24l5djk

[percy]

yes phong! thats the phone i was on about a few days ago, it looks sweet and is being released about now too! my only concern was the size for every day carry. perhaps i will have to buy an 80's carry bag to hold it in.

[gfunkdocta]

best missed call / message reminder?

[NatseOklim]

I use GO Launcher and that has a pretty good SMS program.

Not enjoying having stock Froyo back on my phone, but now I'm scared to try and root/lagfix etc again!

[mike lowrey]

thoughts on the Galaxy Nexus?

seems to be notably bigger than the Nexus S, initially thought about switching just for the hell of it, but I don't think I want anything larger.

[OTL]

I dunno, I just bought GS2 month ago(f'ing us carriers)

loving it so far. BUT I may switch if Galaxy Nexus support ATT LTE.

No SD card, deal breaker for me.

[NatseOklim]

Ahhhh, so glad I decided to risk it again and get voodoo lagfix on my galaxy s. Everything had gone so slow since stock froyo!

Photon 4g on Sprint... only one that would work overseas... wish there was more choices
