On which? The GNex or GNote? on GNex I left it running, it is clever enough to swap around the apps with the available system resources to not require me to do so. On GNote, I have to.

Stringfellow... can u make a comparison on audio quality for music listening between your iPhone n GNex as I tested it just now, and found the audio quality is not really good compared with my trusted iPod Touch using 2 different ultimate ears earphones. Even the Poweramp apps was not fully supported as there was sound interference when the screen was off. But the build in Music apps worked OK. Straightaway deleted all songs in my GNex and putting back my iPod touch in my bag again.

I used "3" by RockOn for my music player. And used the built in iPod Player on my iPhone 4S. On pure analog via the standard headphone jacks using my walk-around headphones the Beyerdynamics DT1350, it sounds the same when plugged into the iPhone 4S. Both devices are more apparent on the treble side, listening to "The Look of Love" by Diana Krall at 320kbps. This is when both are set at stock DSP config.

They sound relatively the same as well, when I switched to the Denon AH-2000, although the iPhone has the slight advantage when it comes to clarity and "fullness" of the sound.

I don't use IEMs as I don't feel comfortable using them. I ditched standard earbuds long time ago.

Of course, when you switch to external DAC, the iDevice wins hands down. I have the Headamp Pico external amp/DAC and connected via ALO LOD from the dock connector from the iPhone/iPod for pure unaltered digital transmission to the Pico, post-processed there and then fed to a proper headphones, that is the ultimate portable configuration I can find without adding more bulk. Only applicable to those who have their audio collections at high enough bitrate or uncompressed. Which is why, to me, the ultimate combo is still my iPod Classic 160GB + Headamp Pico + ALO LOD + DT1350(portable)/AH-2000(listening at home). IF you go analog like from headphone jack on the phone/device to headphones, it's gonna sounds relatively the same to me, when you compare between same-class listening equipment.

I can't comment much on IEMs, so I have no idea how it sounds on that when paired with the GNex. With my DT1350, it sounds as lovely as it is on my iPhone 4S.

This is the Beyerdynamics DT1350, my top choice for the portable headphones:-

will try 3 apps for GNex. Off course its hard to get the same audio quality if i pair it with my Linearossa external AMP/Dac with my iPod but the audio quality testing was made through standard headphone jacks. Thanks for the details reply.

Hello guys,

I bought my Gnex few days ago, from directd in subang.
And I guess it's my purchase that allow directd to drop it to 2499.
I bought it when he is just changing it to 2699. And when their staff asked, I said "I know the price one lar, 2899 ma."
But in real time if I care to checked his post, it would be 2699, stupid me.
But nonetheless, no regrets. I've been waiting for this, and I wouldn't mind it.

Review:
Experience: HTC Desire, Desire Z, Flyer, Aria, Samsung Tab P1000, S2 non g.
Stock Launcher is smooth as baby skin.
Root it at the first chance I have, which is 2 hours after purchase.
Fully charged it, flash with android revolution HD.
Bought battery monitor widget, follow web recommendation, chrarge full, drain full, rinse and repeat.
I'm now at 3rd cycle, and I believe I can accurately say this, Super AMOLED Sucks.
The phone is perfect for me, no question to that. But the screen sucks battery like water.
This phone, in my opinion, is just like Gnote's gsmarena battery test.
Without screen on, eg. on standby, on phonecall is good
With screen on, Web browsing, game, facebook, work (mine is gmil, excel, ftp, camera), it plain sucks battery.
Maybe it's dualcore, maybe it's Super AMOLED ( G2 non g shares the same thing, but I only played with it 2 days before handing it to my gf)
My other phone, Desire (AMOLED) , Desire Z (Super LCD),  Aria (Cheapo LCD?), battery drain doesn't gimme the feel of sucking, literaly.
But the battery issue is there, definitely.
I have 2 choix charger, one 2700, one 5000 on standby just for this phone.
Go figure~~

Your review justify my experience that the battery wont last long...
By the wway the GNex had restarted by itself.... for the first time due the bad signal ... i guess they havent really fixed the problem of low telcos signal ....

The good thing of battery problem here ... is I do believe the promotion for an official launching of GNex by SEP here will come with an extra free battery just like in Taiwan....

hmm, how do you know its due to bad signal?  hmm.gif

Because once it restarted ... I received the sms notification for a missed call ... I believe I wasnt aware that the signal was bad only after the sms notification .... when the call was directly sent to my voice mail even when my phone was still on ... by verifying the time of missed call ...

The download live wallpaper OR the pre-installed live wallpaper OR both.??   o_O

Even the pre installed live wallpaper will cause a slight lag.. but I dont really bother about it as I do not use it at all.

Really? Where did it say that it is a known fact? Link?

I've been using "Phase Beam" live wallpaper, with TV Fav stack widgets, Pulse widget, Palmary Weather Pro widget, Twitter widget  and apps shortcuts on the phone and I don't see any lag.

A short video I recorded while on the GNex and "Phase Beam" wallpaper,......what lag?

Phase Beam live wallpaper seems like the only 1 is not affected - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20036572

Just got back from sg, they don't have screen protecter yet, searched only in sim lim.
And I'm using digi roaming with starhub 3g, mobile data status on, but no connection almost 50% of the time, maybe it's a starhub thing?
when I'm using maps in sg town, with all the 3d building, I notice some graphic artifacts, phone is in charging state, screen on all the while, map running, and battery temp reach 50 celcius. CPU orGraphic chipset overheat issue?

And my internet mobile roaming couldn't get connected at all with Singtel while my GNote had np and got connected all the time! This GNex giving me lots of headache and thinking to give it to my staff as part as lucky draw for my Co's Annual Dinner... sigh

It is only a month away ; potential buyers will be happy probably with a lower price versus present AP prices

Thinking on getting the 32GB model if it is released officially here. Hope they will carry out the promotion for an extra battery too
