its actually two weeks after 4S's announcement, if we assume they would launch in the same time frame, GNex would be at least near the end of December / January. =/

However I don't think that is the case. I'm hoping for it to be available before Christmas.

I am already aware of Tegra 3 since Q4 2010, when most people are still drooling over Tegra 2 phones, some aren't even aware of dual core phones yet, and here I am, counting the days before GNex is in my hands

Simply put, (this is going to sound fanboyish, but that's how I see it) quad core CPU is powerful, no doubt. But if its not in a Nexus phone, why bother?

What practicality does a quad core CPU have over a dual core now? To boast higher benchmarks? If that's your kind of thing, sure go wait for it.

Unless there are apps out there that would fully utilizes the quad core CPU power, there are no reasons you should feel regretful getting this phone now (or any other good dual core phones in fact).


its actually launched late December, but Msia is having it late... even then its almost a full year.

But then again, Nexus phones are not base on 1 year 1 phone, but every time when there's a new version of Android that Google wants to show off with.

its because Facebook doesn't use the proper Android's contact API, so it is disabled until FB update their app.

anyway, tried using Friendcaster? Or SyncMyPic?

for some, that is some hardcore usage

If I could get something like that I'd be happy already

try ES file manager

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

it is a known fact that live wallpaper causes lag in GNex...it could be because LWP aren't optimized for ICS

hence, my reasoning.

have you tried this? Volume+

13.3gb

nope

good luck.

hmm, after some searching, I noticed that steinheil flex is created specifically for the Galaxy Nexus

makes it hard to look for installation video guide

is the SP edge to edge?

4S is both announced and released way earlier (at least 2 weeks gap) than the Galaxy Nexus. Naturally that would be the case in Malaysia too.

how is the revolution HD? Is it stable enough for day to day use? From the feedback it seems pretty good.

lol, is it really needed? Maybe just a FAQ section would suffice?

hmm, I'm not sure about the "supported by AOSP" and "Google/Samsung branded".
Non yakju devices can still flash custom ROM that is built for yakju device, right? Aren't they essentially the same phone?
I mean they're not that different unlike the S2 G and non-G version, right?

hmm, someone managed to restore non-yakju build device back to yakju build by flashing the factory image provided by Google?

I think that should work for all of us, right?

Plus, once rooted and flashed with custom ROM, I doubt it matters that much anymore, like mikeeeee mentioned.
Though this might trouble other users who don't want to go down the flashing route.

but I just feel that this issue has been blown out of proportion.

regardless I have updated FAQ section to reflect this issue. If there is any mistake that I need to correct, please let me know.

hmm, also from that thread, not too sure about this, but I notice people who have problems with Nexus's phone signal, it could very well be due to phone's baseband?

hmm, I guess only time will tell where this "yakju issue" is headed.

awesome! congrats man


that is too long... might just get an AP set in one or two more weeks

its like that, that's how "early bird" pricing is... be glad that you didn't pay 2899 for it, like Lucifer did

link? so that I can update faq section

that's really bad...even for GNex

could it be that you kept playing with the phone, causing the battery to drain so fast?

saw this on XDA forum

the acting is... very bad

like it or not, most website still contains flash content

its better to have the option of using it than to be deprived of it due to the incompetence of the OS maker.

and btw, Google is actually the first to embrace HTML5, not "following Apple's lead"

Youtube being one of the first video site to implement HTML 5 player despite being the most popular video site, shows Google's commitment towards bringing HTML 5 to the end users. NOT by words / simply limit the choice for end users, but by actions, by actually implementing it.

Steve Job can "keep skin" in this regard.
