thing is if sammy does that,
htc might follo,
moto will folo
if all folo, consumers will be forced like how apple did with their products.
hate to say this but hope they rectify that problem or else nfc will never be a dream, but a dream for big corporations to fight with. bunch of babies...

One X will be smooth if they stripped down the Sense UI. Sense UI makes it bloated anyway.

yes, S3 NFC can be used with others NFC, but only certain stuff can beam. As I mentioned earlier, only app link, URL, contacts can be beam with non S3 devices.

Pictures, files and such can't be beam with normal Android beam. Only S-Beam from Samsung can make it happen. But only able to do with S3 to S3 at the moment.

Android beam is the fundamental using NFC technology to transfer small stuffs. S-Beam makes it further... So if future Androids can optimize the NFC like S-Beam, it wouldn't be a problem anymore to transfer stuff seamlessly and fast.

Bought Gnex last friday! Loveee it soooooo muchhh

There are software than can work like s-beam but via bt instead of wifi direct. Try search nfc tapping by file expert. I've successfully transferred files such as movies n songs between 2 nexus with it . Pretty seamless but if course bt will never be as fast as wifi direct. But good poc, it was actually available before s-beam existed:p

Congrats on this lovely phone:D

S-Beam uses NFC to initiate communication, and uses Wifi Direct to send data.Its not really the same thing as Android Beam. Though I'd hope that in the future S Beam gets ported over to Nexus

seriously until now I still have not got tired of it!
Especially now that S3 is out, I am even more happy with this phone. lol

Yes! Never regret of jumping ship from IOS to Android
Yes, S3 are slightly better but the price gap....

finally got my OTG cable from Doomsday, a hot chiq with hot pants




gonna try it out with my HDD

oops forgot to mention, i tried waze on the nexus. it works well, GPS locking quite fast too

Shhhhh... please don't tell anyone that I am a hot chiq

Anyway, this is the code that I mentioned just now that need to be patched in order to unmount the USB drives.



then save it to /etc/vold.fstab

if vold.fstab not exist, just create one then pop the code into it. Then save.

HDD needed external source to power it up. normal 5V from GNex wouldn't able to power it...

night owls you all =p
woah nice price for OTG

for we all sleep at day

ooo thanks for the info man!

i checked and i found this:


haven't try with a pendrive yet tho

I've my Galaxy Nexus on Rascream Bionic ROM(aka Rascream Linaro Based ROM) and Trinity A88 Kernel now...

I am giving this a shot, see if it's better than all those previous ROMs I've been using.

I've it OCed to 1420MHz on CPU and 512MHz on GPU too. I didn't apply V6 SuperCharger, I don't think it's necessary at all in Linaro coded ROMs.

wow, the people really made a v6 charger for the linaro rom?
wonders how the effects if u did charge it

Wonder how you guys manage to get 4 hours+ of screen time on with wifi/3G active 24/7

I 24/7 wifi/3G active only manage get maximum of 2 hours till the battery totally flat.

@.@?
V6 SuperCharger can be applied on any ROM literally which included Linaro coded ROM.
They're ANDROID OS anyway.

I am applying V6 SuperCharger now to test the Rascream Bionic ROM completely.

I'll tell about it sooner or later.

nope, just worry that lina works will not like the charger works..
like serving 2 performance editing soft together..
anyways if that works then kudos~
(preety new to android, still thinking in a PC way..)

Hmmm, I guess so why you guys can achieve 4 hours + of screen time

I have my gmail account and other stuff 24/7 sync even when I am dozed off.

I am using AOKP all the way, with different combo kernels for my flavor.
I show alkt my AOKP M5 with Leankernel combo, he was like WOAHHHH so smooth arrr?? hahha

took me a while to know that name...
