Swt... really can... must pull to the very edge... Anyway, it works just fine. Good. Lol...

Lol... 2hours of it is just screen on, not using.

Now 4hours 48mins. Hand itchy like hell

Normally it's easier to do that... Nexus leave too little area for us (or maybe me...) to pull it to the side. Even when dragging widget from App drawer into homescreen. Sometimes I dragged to the edge it just won't flip to the next page.

If you get what I mean

Even one screen also susah

I think is because of my casing. Hard to pull to really really really really edge

Not really depends on bitrate but the sampling level or the sensitivity of the mic etc. BITRATE just indicates that how many bit is required for each 'second' of audio. Each bit represents an audio level. If it's high quality enough, it has more audio levels, so called sample size if you studied communications or audio related courses. Higher bitrate doesn't mean higher audio level. It just barely means you get more resolution, crisper sound, more original-alike sound, better reproduction of sound as it gives much more details and allows you to reproduce the sound more similar to an analog signal(of course it'll never be as refined as analog). I can produce an audio file, I don't need much details in it, just single pitch and make it loud by amplifying it by few dB yet still low bitrate. It'll be loud but it won't sound good. Maybe you're right but this is what I know based on my knowledge. I just never will relate 'loudness' to 'bitrate'.

Erm... Seriously, it's harder than any other phone. Even our Topic Starter agreed on that. Refer few posts above. I buy a phone that does what I want it to do, not what it wants me to do, so called 'user-friendly'. If you know what I mean. I mentioned casing because my casing is taking up the bezel area on the side leaving 1mm bezel area from the screen. Due to this, it's very hard to drag all the way to the edge. Maybe your hand is small and slim and whatsoever but my hand is huge. Only Galaxy note is the phone I can't hide with my hand.

This has nothing to do with skill level. It's design problem, coding problem, programming problem, casing problem. By the way, do we really need skill for this? Do you need to go through colleges to learn the skill for this? I've used other phones and many of my friend's phones. I can really say that it's harder to get from one screen to another on nexus. There should be an area where when you dragged something into that area, it'll highlight the edge indicating that it will be moved to the next page but the so called 'area' for this phone is really too small IMO.

Actually I'm not talking about the bitrate/software thing. Just the low speaker volume thing. I can definitely understand to get really nice quality sound, one can go for something extreme like tube amp etc that may cost more than a bomb. I'm actually just talking about speaker volume only. I won't expect quality from the speaker volume but it need to be at least a bit louder. I can understand what you say if you're an audiophile.

It's actually quite ok to my ears. Perhaps I should get poweramp trial and try them side by side.

For stock user. Quite useful, max 7 toggle buttons. Can be widget on homescreen and also in notification area.

It's too hard that I don't even notice that it existed. Seriously... I tried few times, do like in Gingerbread but it's just won't work until someone mentioned it should work in the launcher

I got volume+. I tested poweramp. My ear is not trained enough to notice the difference between it and Google music sound quality Tested with real bassy song or it's all bass song (bassotronics), seriously with my noob earphone and noob ears, I can't really see how poweramp does better on low frequency(mentioned by one or two forumers in past few pages) both software gives me almost identical output. I've not tweaked headset settings on Volume+, no equaliser or anything. Only one feature in poweramp that I need. Slide across the album art to change song like Samsung Stock Music player. Not a big deal though

Conclusion: PowerAMP Uninstalled

I guess they implemented the coding into the ROM.

I am wondering... Will those 'Boost' kill our speaker? Samsung really gave it a low power speaker or is actually a high power speaker but get limited by Google/Samsung through stock rom?

Stock rom and stock kernel

Erm... Can you just don't think the negative way? I'm just having a question mark in my head, trying to clear it up. I know the tweak does its job. I'm just wondering whether it's purposely limited by Samsung/Google through their software/rom or the speaker of GNex memang so soft/low powered (hardware) Please la. I'm not quite complaining. It's just a question demanding answer. Provide the answer if you have one. You can choose to be quite when you don't have one

Add-on:
I know I'm bad to write this way but... Seriously... What's this thread for? I got a question, I asked here and you said me complaining. I was like 'WTF' in my mind... Sorry if I offended you or anyone else.

If you refer my post this morning...

Actually 5hours 45mins is around 5% left.
From 100% to 79%... I unplugged at 100%, played word search then too tired and fall asleep. Woke up about 2 hours later the screen still on Check screen on time 2hours 20mins, guess screen on with word search on for 2hours++ Then morning play play play play until now, I'm charging it.

I can't stream HD now. Unifi goes haywire Or maybe my housemate all PPS/BT-ing
I find that in Browser, certain video can stream 1080p lagless. Some will stream but laggy. I mean laggy not buffering thing but the video is not smooth.

Chill

I know the tweaks make things better but that's also why I wondered whether it do any harm to the speaker. But i think samsung won't use so low powered speaker. Should be just software based limitation.

Navi bar... you mean the virtual keys? After that what software you use for navigation? I saw one app name... LMT? or something like that that do the same trick, the circular menu that pop up when you slide in from the side. But the problem is... Its response is too slow. Let me get bored by stock launcher first

I'm on 4.0.4. Got fixed? Before this even lower volume??????? Can't imagine how low is it in 4.0.2

Added on June 25, 2012, 1:03 am"Just got a chance to do a comparison between my S2 and the Galaxy Nexus.

Nexus is clearer overall. Better instrument seperation and detail because of it.
Nexus is punchier not as dull.
Soundstage isn't wider or bigger quite similar in that regard.
Bass amount is similar, just more focused and detailed on the Nexus.
Lower noise floor on the Nexus as well. No noise carried through the head phones from using the screen."

Quoted from head-fi.org

Tmr go try how low is 4.0.2

You're on AOKP? I know AOKP got that feature to hide and show navbar. Since they can make it to toggle the navbar. You try and suggest them to integrate the three buttons into the Power Menu too. Should be even more convenient if you're just going to press Back once or Home once

Loud, yes. Very loud... Not really. My roomate S Advance is insanely loud. Even louder than my N82 with Two Speakers. I wonder why don't Samsung throw that speaker into all their phones. It's really freaking loud

When I got it on stock 4.0.4... It's still too soft Really need Volume+ to get the speaker to at least give some power.

Headphone output is insanely loud especially when driving a 16Ohm 95dB sensitivity IEM. My previous phones I go all the way to max but this one. I leave 3~4 bars to max

Yea... See how I 'slashed' Galaxy W in my signature Galaxy W

Really mild
If not Mild... I should have...

SGS3, SGTab 7.7 to bring around, New iPad to use at home, HTC One X as backup phone, SGNote for its S-Pen(nothing special actually) etc etc etc

Added on June 25, 2012, 5:07 pmOh yeah... Just got myself a TPU casing. Previously using IMAK Hardcare(2 pieces type), a lot thicker than this TPU casing and it's real Plastic+it makes sound when you hold one it+it's not 10000% tight(but if it's, it'll be impossible to remove). After changing to TPU casing. It's so much thinner. Add just like 1mm to the phone. RM10, if anyone interested, look into forum. The finishing is not perfect though. I run it through 'flames' (highlighter and candle) to remove the extra rubber/plastics on the edge. Smoother now.

I got addicted by the price only. Nothing else. No one can affect me that much

Sorry I didn't really go through them. I just got the phone, running stock first. Still satisfy-able on stock. Wait till I got unsatisfied
