Google Working with each OEM - General Topics

So only one OEM could get the Nexus name, but google will work with each OEM to make their flagship device, so far these have been leaked, and i believe these are their flagship; Imagine flagship releases from Motorola, HTC, and LG with Ice Cream Sandwich available on AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint all at practically the same time… in addition to a Google Nexus handset from Samsung. The summer’s going to be hot, but it looks like the fall might get even hotter. ( http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/27/googl...tured-by-samsung-possibly-dubbed-nexus-prime/ )
LG-LG K: This one is the big daddy. There's no render of the K available yet, but according to Pocketnow it features a "true 720p HD display" and may carry the model number P930. Also said to feature a 4.5-inch display and pixel density similar to that found on the iPhone 4's Retina Display. (http://www.phonedog.com/2011/07/22/...-7-lineup-for-the-second-half-of-2011-leaked/)
Motorola-Details on the Dinara are still light, but so far it's rumored to be packing an "HD" display that's larger than the DROID Bionic's 4.3-incher, Texas Instruments processor, 13-megapixel camera, VGA front-facer, 1GB RAM, a non-removable battery, lock button the right side, and a body that is "identical" to the Bionic but will be both thinner and lighter than the DB. It's said to currently be packing Gingerbread, but it's not clear if it'll come to market with that version of Android or if it'll be bumped up to Ice Cream Sandwich in time for launch. The Dinara is reportedly currently being tested on Verizon, although Droid-Life notes that it could eventually land on multiple carriers. Finally, it's said that the Dinara is slated to launch sometime this winter.(http://www.phonedog.com/2011/07/19/...inter-with-hd-screen-and-13-megapixel-camera/)
Smaung-a monster 720p -resolution display, and we have now confirmed with our source that the screen itself is branded as a “Super AMOLED HD” display. The branding confirms our suspicions that Samsung will indeed be the manufacturer. We have also confirmed that the processor in the upcoming device will be an OMAP4460, just as we originally reported. Hit the jump for more. ( http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/27/googl...tured-by-samsung-possibly-dubbed-nexus-prime/ )
i will update the post with each other i believe, or when others are confirmed

This sounds good.

htc and samsung already been there, it'd be great to see other manufacturers now. motorola and lg, time to prove that you can build a nexus phone

I am interested in seeing what HTC puts out but the Nexus also has my attention. Can't wait to see what all the OEMs have been working on.

Lots of vanilla goodness i hope! Waiting to see what HTC can do with their offering.
Thanks OP!

Always looking forward to what HTC produces!

I'm just hoping Sprint gets some love right off the bat instead of 6 months later like the Nexus S 4G.

The Samsung Nexus Prime 4G. It sounds OK.

samsung, 720p is very attractive

I'd like to see them work with LG, as the Revolution was a solid, excellent piece of hardware, but their developers need to get a clue (and hopefully Google could give them that).
Oh yeah, and LG needs to stop allowing Microsoft in the back door of Google. Bing DOES NOT BELONG on an Android phone! If it weren't for XDA, this marvel of hardware would be lining dumpster bins!

It would be cool if it was HTC but they dont have good screens, so samsung for me

Hm, I don't mind HTC's SLCD screens, they're pretty clean. The old AMOLED screens on the first galaxy S series were OK, but since they were Pentile matrix's, the pixelation sorta annoyed me (not as much as on my current Atrix). The new AMOLED Plus screens are fine though.

Latest Best Phone Poll

I have been using Samsung Omnia i900 for last one year guys. Now i intend to get a new phone but there seem to be alot of options out there and it made me confuse. Everyone has an edge over the other in some regard.
I almost went to get an HD2 , My reason being that it can run BOTH OS, WinMo 6.5 and Thanks to dev at xda it can also run Android almost as well. And i am a freak in tryin all the new stuff related to diff OS, so that gives me an edge for HD2, however its touch screen although capacitative wasnt as impressive as iphone 3gs.
And i m not sure how good android is, would the phone still be upgraded.
Please vote for what you think is going to be overall a better choice to go for now with regards to,
OS
Apps
Hardware
Future Development
Regards
Please do also give ur reasons why u suggest a particular phone
Really need help deciding coz i m confused
I would go with the iPhone 4 simply because front facing camera, hd recording, super amoled screen, great gaming device, sleek new design, and the best new "feature" added.. THE DEATH GRIP!

i agree with ipanda, the hd2 is good but its excessively large screen mixed with the type of lcd it has means the colours are all washed out, the galaxy s has good multi touch and games but the gps is crap, the iphone cant get a signal and the nexus one is just a desire without the optical trackpad and less ram lol
umm Nexus One is also abit cheaper i guess.... Optical trackpad doesnt really matter i guess... but currently its official software doesnt support Multi-TOuch which Sux.
Galaxy doesnt have a Camera FLASH... HOW the hell can Samsung miss that ... LOL
I am tilted for Desire.. But tell me one thing. Is the Android stuff really cutomizable? How about apps like superb 3d games in iphone.. Does android market has similar stuff?
And the MAIN Qs for me...... Whats the future for Desire? I mean new ROMs and New Android OS v3.0 or so will be available for desire or atleast custom roms maybe ?
I heard Android 3.0 is comin after xmas... i really want a device which can be updated with time
Eh... uh.... HTC Desire HD
hey...
and HTC EVO 4G???
my vote is for HD2..
I see I will have to raise my voice a little, HTC DESIRE HD IS GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED 15TH SEPTEMBER, IT WILL HAVE 4X THE POWER OF HTC DESIRE AND 8MPX CAM WITH DUAL LED FLASH. ALSO IT WILL HAVE AN AMAZING 4.3 INCH SCREEN AND ANDROID 2.2
IT WILL BE MOST PROBABLY CHEAPER AND WILL HAVE BETTER BATTERY LIFE. AND AT LAST, HDMI AND KICKSTAND.

Can anyone still answer my Qs that ... Will Desire also receive future updates from Android like 3.0 Gingerbread or so?
Coz i want a phone i can update/modify ... So that excludes iphone frm ma list
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g-review
Hopefully my link worked. If carriers are not a problem, then I think Sprint's Epic 4g is the best phone out right now. From what I have read there is no GPS problem. It also has a larger slide out QWERTY than Droid 2,it has camara flash, and 4g - if your in covrerage area. Lag problems are also gone. There is the ability to cut off touchwiz in favor of android launcher as well. On my Captivate, the camara takes great photos without flash so camara quality is superb. Plus it has about the most capable CPU you can find coupled with the best gpu available. I bought the iphone4 on day 1 and returned it on Captivates release day and have not regretted it. And yes, its very customizable. Just pick a carrier with options because you can always trade it out within 30 days.

Android supports multitouch since 2.0, but the touchscreen sensor on nexus one is too bad to report multitouch.

Completely bull****.
No Evo 4G option? Now that the bugs have been worked out it's tits.
yeah my last phone was a vogue so I don't have much to compare it to, but there are already people saying they took back their epics after having AMOLED burn-in issues, bad buttons, no gps, etc.
Out of those phones, I think the HD2 has the best value considering its around $100 cheaper than the other ones, but with similar hardware specs. However, I've never owned any of those phones, so I could very well be wrong.
On a side note, if you are really into putting on different OS's and would like a change, you could take a look at the n900 (slower processor but could be overclocked) or even upcoming Nokia N9 (Though it seems like Nokia phones don't receive much love in this forum) . They're going to have the Meego OS, and developers have also ported Android 2.2 to run on the N900 aswell.
Seems like competetion here is between HD2 and Galaxy S, But there is a price difference of 200$ between these two phones, WHich is kinda alot
Extra 200$ for AMOLED 16 M screen, i guess thats the only hardware part where Galaxy/Desire are better than HD2. A small diff in RAM too, but otherwise all hardware specs are similar.
HD2 probably gets bad battery life with android and you could run into some weird bugs, they've done a great job with android, its what prolonged my touch diamonds life. Win mobile is dead, haven't looked back since I got my Evo. Best phone I've ever had, no regrets but there's always something new coming out.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
HD2. Got 4 microsd cards, 3 running different builds of android the other running win mo. Depending on my mood or need for a particualr app (sat nav/games etc..) I just boot into whatever suits, HTC & Microsoft pretty much ditched this phone after the US launch yet XDA have given it a fresh start and pushed it back to the top of the smartphone list IMO. If you like playing about with your phone then there is no other option, the others are just phones in comparison
I have been usin WinMo devices for last 2 years or so, but i guess WinMo is kinda dead end now. Even if i get HD2, i will like to use Android on it for a change, So why not just get an Android set with No bugs
Well i am still compiling up my money... got 400$ by now That shud suffice for HD2, but i guess i gotta wait and save some more for Galaxy or Desire.
Why are people voting Galaxy and Not Desire ? I mean its almost the same hardware.... and Desire has a bigger community here i guess.... Htc phones usualy get new updates while i m not sure samsung will keep up the updates for their phones :S

Nexus 2 anyone?

Google and Samsung are at the center of this rumor coming straight out of left field that claims they will be announcing the Nexus Two running Android 2.3 at a press conference on November 8th. If this rumor holds water, then this is truly something that nobody expected. The original Nexus One may have been dubbed the true “Google Phone,” but the fact of the matter is that HTC was the phones manufacturer. The device didn’t sell as expected, as it was only available online. It never reached the retail channels that Google claimed it would eventually. The phone was even slated to hit Sprint and Verizon but was shelved when similar (and more impressive) Android handsets hit the market. If this will be the first Android phone to run on 2.3, then this should be a phone worth some serious attention. This very well could be the software branded Gingerbread, even though other rumors had it as version 2.5 or even 3.0. The rumor also says that the phone will be coming to multiple networks. So to summarize, the Nexus Two is supposedly going to be produced by Samsung. Any of you Galaxy S users out there pissed? I mean, you guys are still on 2.1 at the moment, although 2.2 is surely around the corner. Then again, this is a rumor so it could turn out to be just a crock. But hey, November 8th is only a week and a half away. Tell us what you think down below, and let the rumor mill start churning.

Oh not Samsung. I've had Galaxy S im my hands it is a very good phone (mostly because of the hummingbird processor ) but its all plastic and looks "iphonish", HTC on the other hand have better quality build but cheaper performance. I do hope that Google will dictate what Nexus 2 should look like and that it will not be all plastic!

The best and the only screen SAMOLED is made by Samsung and nor HTC or Motorola have access to it. The biggest problem with Nexus 1 is the crappy thouchscreen, so it would make ALOT of sense to go with Samsung and use its SAMOLED2 (2gen samoled has higher resolution) technology.
A Samsung manufactured NEXUS TWO with an extraordinary processor & a superb AMOLED screen is just way too awesome , If the same is sold in stores instead of the web & that too worldwide instead of just one launch country it could be the most successful android handset ever .
I have a Vibrant, and I'm not pissed because if this is true I'll be selling it and pre-ordering this phone.
I do however, wonder who owns the rights to call the phone a Nexus. I had figured it was named/owned by HTC, but if this is true I guess not.

Nexus s to atrix?

I'm receiving my nexus s on Tuesday. I'm wondering is it a good trade to atrix? My cousin he wants to trade it. My nexus will be brand new. So should i do it or no?
Atrix don't have much development because its bootloader is locked. So I actualy returned my Atrix for inspire 4 g . I would keep nexus s. Go and check out development for both phones.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
no dont do it, i went from atrix to nexus s, the nexus is quicker, motoblur lags the crap out of the atrix
Wow thanks guys so much lol. Ya he told me atrix is better and faster and said he doesn't like motorola so he wants straight trade with my nexus s and so i came here to ask you guys experts.
I hope nexus s is good purchase is made. Can't wait till Tuesday
Keep the nexus s!!
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
ex owner of atrix.
- you cant have roms on it because of its locked bootloader. and the stock roms lags thanks to the moto blur " what a horrible thing "
- still on 2.2 and god knows when it will get updated to 2.3 , even if it does, it wont get the honeycomb while nexus S owners will get it day 1.
- multi touch problem. it doesnt recognize more than 2 fingers. and when it does. you cant keep pressing on the screen for more than 14 seconds. after that, the screen will go funny on you. meaning if you are playing a racing game, you cant keep pressing on the gas and the directional area in the same time for more than 14 seconds. if you do, you will see your car in the game stopped moving and you will be like wtf is going on " this is not a bug with my unit. its with all the atrix "
- Screen is ugly. they say its qHD. but holy crap its ugly. very dull. the colors are no match to the super amoled. while this is a personal taste and its different between one guy to another. i think you will agree with me once you put the phone head to head with your new nexus S.
+ it has dual core processor from Nvidia. meaning if all the negative problems i said above got fixed, then you are in a gaming and emualtors heaven. because this thing is more powerful than the nexus S in terms of GPU and CPU.
but i hardly think ANY of the problems will be fixed. the phone was released in Feb 2011. its been more than 2 months and nothing.
dont let the 2 roms in the atrix development forums fool you. they are not really "roms " . no one touched the karnel. they are mearly an advanced " theme "
all in all. i dont think you shouldnt buy the nexus S even unless you want a pure google experience. because the LG 2Gx is here. the Samsung Galaxy S2 is here and the last is a god gift for the phones " based on a personal hands on "
Wow that was amazing. What you said but the thing is I'm on rogers and live in canada so only 2 choice i have now is either nexus s or xperia arc. Canada sucks with phone updates.

The Resolution is 960x540, compared to Nexus S 800x480. Atrix has Pentile TFT LCD, which is the problem that people have with it. It can produce some odd/washed out colors, but generally is great and needs to be the new standard resolution as far as I'm concerned. Not necessarily with Pentile. The Nexus S has Samsungs nice Super Amoled. You do lose a bit of resolution, but colors are definitely more accurately reproduced.

agreed with the resolution. but then again. my hands on with the super amoled plus on the galaxy S2 is stunning. and its the same resolution as super amoled on Nexus S
honestly. i have never been impressed with a phone as much as i did with the galaxy S2. its a truly a next gen phone by all standards. with the latest HTC and Sony Ericsson offering, its clear that Samsung will be the king of android for this year also.
Wait for the HTC Sensation, it's a worthy competition to the GS2. Seriously, I think the Sense UI wins over touchwiz hands down, the screen is qHD as well versus 800x480 only on the GS2.

1- the Atrix is QhD. it means nothing. i was still able to see the pixels. and the colors are not great compared to the super amoled plus. and i have the SGS2 in my hand. and i used to own the atrix. so i know what i am talking about.
2- dont compare the old touchwiz to the new one as the new one is generations ahead of whats in the first one. PLUS the fact i can play all my movies in the SGS2 without having to convert any video is a + no matter how you look at it.
3- HTC sense. is just a UI. a user interface. nothing more. there are million of others available in the market. and to make it more " fun " htc sense 3.0 is already being ported to many devices including the old samsung galaxy S1. which means 1 month from now, it will be available with fully working performance on galaxy S. never make a user interface a reason to buy a phone.
4- the SGS2 is a higher specd phone. from video card to 2M front facing camera to no scrolling lagg at all while browsing. honestly this thing is a beast
and to make things worst. the engadget hands on with the new HTC is " laggy"
and thats a demo unit that supposed to show off.

[Q] What will HTC deliver after the Sensation this year? HD4 in Q4? Better than SGII?

Hi my question is:
Do you think that HTC will deliver another 'superphone' this year?
Thinking about Q4 2011? Maybe this phone will be better than the Samsung Galaxy SII ?
Maybe it will just be worth waiting!!
Because at the event in London when they presented the HTC Sensation they said more to come this year!!!!
Please leave your opinion here! Thankyou!
Dude relax!
The Sensation is already better than the SGS2, check the upgraded screen resolution...
I am already meditating haha
The point is: The specification is better in the Samsung Galaxy SII but the HTC sense UI is much more attractive and I own the HTC HD2, I really like the HTC's. To bad the specifications are not so good compaired with the SII.
HTC chose not to release the HTC Sensation at the conference in Barcelona this year but couple months later.
Maybe they will bring out the phone that can replace the HD2 ! Because the HTC HD2 was a real NO BRAINER... THE first with a 4.3 inch screen and the best phone for a full year, because the specs of new phones could not compete with the HTC HD2.

Dude, open your eyes! You have just pointed out the only advantage the Sensation has over the SGS2... And all in all, the SGS2 still has the better screen
Dude on a 4.3'' screen it's very important to have this new resolution whatever you have super extra modular amoled plus beta
Both have dual core cpu
Both have 8mp, even dual led for Sensation
Sense 3.0 beat the hell out of touchwiz
I don't care if there are 2% more speed in games lol.
Now I just hope HTC will let us root it and that they upgraded the loudspeaker
Don't get me wrong, I used to be a huge fan of HTC. I currently happily own one. I just think they've lost their touch and are not "innovative" anymore.
Sense 3.0 versus TouchWiz 4.0 is a matter of taste and even though both have dual core CPU and 8MP cameras, Samsung's are significantly better.
The screen may have an improved resolution, but being a pentile matrix it doesn't really make it outstanding. Plus the fact that it's a wider format (16/9) which means less lines of text when reading a web page in landscape mode.
Also the Samsung should have a way better battery life (thanks to the lower consumption screen and CPU).
The dual band Wifi on the Samsung is an interesting point for me as I have dual band routers, and the 5GHz band is faster. The Sensation is single band Wifi, bummer.
Out of the box, there's 16Gb of storage on the Samsung versus 1Gb on the HTC. The Samsung includes all sorts of codecs for audio and video, including mkv. Hello HTC, are we in 2011?
HSPA+ is 21Mbps for the Samsung versus 14.4Mbps for the HTC.
USB host is nowhere to be found in the HTC, is supported by the Samsung.
Audio output quality will be presumably better in the Samsung (wolfson chip).
Should I go on? I have only listed the advantages that are really quantifiables, not just "okay it's 2% faster"...
Sorry dude, HTC is no longer the leader of high-end smartphones it used to be...
So you don't believe HTC will launch a super hot phone in Q4 2011?
I really hope so! Although my plan is finished in August. I am still breaking my head which phone to take? HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy SII.
At this moment I am wondering if there is better to come this year, Worth waiting...
Or should I make a choice? Don't forget I am still owning a HD2 with Android NAND.
Can't wait for both to come to the market and then hear what people say about the phones!!!
Samsung Galaxy S II is already out in UK mate, you can check feedbacks at GSII forums. From what first owners says, it seems perfect really. It's almost fishy as it ticks all boxes.
I have pre-ordered it and will get my hands on it in a week or so, I'll also give the HTC Sensation a shot on may 12th as I'm due to an upgrade so I might give you some feedbacks then
Well apparently there will be a better super hot phone in 2011, according to Eldar Murtazin (Mobile Review) the Samsung Galaxy S III should be released in autumn and is the mother of all phones (iPhone5 competitor).
Don't expect anything but minor improvements/variants from HTC this year as compared to the Sensation.
So if you're not in a hurry, wait for the Galaxy S III. Otherwise just get the Galaxy S II now (it's released in UK and South Korea, other countries to follow shortly)
Thanks for the info. HTC should be the one to bring out the follow up phone for the HD2. They not really did that yet and they know that HD2 was a big succes. The HD Desire is still oldskool. The next generation phones are all with dual core!! I must say: I really hope HTC brings news about some asesome phone coming this Q4 2011.
I really believe in this.
Samsung Galaxy II is already great... can't see III coming soon.
HTC is letting me down at the moment, My girlfriend has the galaxy s, I still prefere HTC though... what to do?

Should I go on? I have only listed the advantages that are really quantifiables, not just "okay it's 2% faster"...
Sorry dude, HTC is no longer the leader of high-end smartphones it used to be...

Yep......I couldn't have said that better myself
So I should forget about HTC and HTC SENSE...?
I think touchwizz 4.0 is not so cool as sense 3.0.
HTC is so good in simplicity. They bring their product and the phone is really made to suit you. See all the videos they made for HTC sensation!
HD2 is not a device like other, it's really a computer!
Do you know any phone that can dual boot wm7 and Android?
They could even put ios it wouldn't shock me
HD2 was originally dedicated for wm6.5 only, so if HTC want to launch an HD3 it will be officially for wm7.
I think you mean you want a replacement for the DHD
I want a super android phone!!!! But I don't think their will be better phones this year!
I still thinking, what should I do? My heart says buy the sensation but my brains say buy the SII.... So what to do?
well I think HTC "gave" us the phones for this year.. maybe in the end they will have something new, but what'll be better? maybe 1GB Ram and w/e.. I mean, even the heaviest games to Android dont really need 1GB to work really good.. just keep your phone clean and 768MB and great Sense will do the work.
Also in my opinion, the SGS II is ugly compared to HTC . (Some of the phones of HTC.. like the Desire and Sensation).
I agree for the design, the sgs2 is a pale copy of the old iphone while HTC have their own design and more specially I love the rubber feel at the back
The pro and the cons... between the 2: Samsung wins.
But I just have to wait to see what people say about those phones!
I think I would still go for the HTC Sensation, but if I don't like the design in real life well then it will be the SII.
Htc France did confirm that an Gsm version of the Evo 3d would be available but gave no dates. Hopefully it will arrive Q4! Fingers crossed

As I said earlier you can check feedback about GSII from now. For Sense UI it is better than touchwizz and if it is the only thing that makes you do a compromise when considering the GSII then well a little birdie told me that there may be a solution to fix that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzhtziHD7IY (it is an alpha and it is already running smoother than any HTC to date because of the better hardware of the GS)
SII still beats the EVO 3D. So it suppose to be a new phone from HTC. I need a leak!! Hahaha somewhere it must be clear what kind of phone they will bring out in Q4 2011.

Samsung confirms Galaxy S II with upgraded specs

Wow !!!!! If this is what Sprint and ATT are getting next month, holy cow, this will be the BEST Droid out until the Nexus-Prime, and history shows the Nexus series is just based off the current galaxy series. So this updated Galaxy S2.5 for the U.S. will be the one phone to rule them all.
Samsung confirms Galaxy S II LTE with upgraded specs - Sammy Hub
The new Galaxy S II will come with a big 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 8MP camera with flash and a 1850mAh battery.
1,5ghz? same processor w/ turbomode or different?
Just found this page today, not sure if this is a joke or not ?
Buy Google Nexus Prime SmartPhone - Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Says the Google Nexus-Prime is coming in November to all four U.S. carriers.
So the resolution is still 480x800 though (isn't that the res for SAMOLD plus?)? Man that's lame, still a dealbreaker for me. The processor upgrade sure is nice though...but 4.5 inches on that low of a resolution? There's no way that looks good even a little bit

That I would call a fake. The picture shows a nexus one with a froyo at the top then the bottom left shows the leaked pictures with what looks a Sammy with a different version.
Plus if you look in the blog there is no new rumors that we havent heard before

haha they really need to move that thanks button further away from the quote button!
One of my co-workers has an Infuse. It has a 4.5" screen thats a Super AMOLED and it looks amazing. Put it up next to a 3D or Photon and the Infuse wins hands down IMO.

Really? Man I just find it hard to wrap my head around that! I guess I'm just all hyped up on the 720p phones that are supposed to be coming...not that AT&T will be getting any, but I'm hoping there will be one by next spring, come upgrade time. Doubt it though...
PS, thanks for the thanks. I returned the favor just for fun

Maybe it was just me but I thought the Infuse had an amazing screen. QHD would make it look a heck of a lot better I would imagine.
I also cant tell a big difference between a pentile display against a full RGB either.
You might want to go check one out and see if you like it. I know I thought it looked better.
