Google teaming with samsung - fail?

I believe that new Nexus S will let the google down. I had many issues with samsung products in the past, and I saw glitching stock vibrants. What you guys personally think about it?

I think Samsung wants to screw over their current customers. Then again, I am assuming they are doing this because of the leaks.

Yay, lets mix freedom and complete control and see what we get.... It's retarded and the nexus name is forever tarnished.

I would have loved to see the Nexus line stay with HTC but let's face it, they didn't do a great job with the Nexus One. Crappy digitizer and failing power buttons...

Nexus supposed to be the Android of all androids... But with samsung it will drown. I think dead buttons is nothing compare to a brick, which Nexus S will turn for sure.
Galaxy S phones failed big time. Lagging like hell and freezing. Not to mention previous samsung phones.
I could be wrong too. Lets see how Nexus S will go. Maybe samsung learned the lesson.

Do any of you guys have the phone? Did you create a thread just to bash something you haven't used? I have mine OCed to 1.4 GHz, running stable with CM7. Everything is blazing fast, as lag free as reasonably possible, and I have quadrant scoring at 3700+. Let me know when you can beat that.

Used one for 3 days before wishing the world was flat so I could throw it off the edge. Even with the "new version" the fragmentation compared to the first version of windows phone 7 is just awful. After playing with it I cant find much if any difference from 2.2. If I wanted to throw money away like that I'd buy a vibrant on craigslist for 150, add a front facing camera, then use it as toilet paper that being the most practical use for galaxy S garbage.

Actually I heard somewhere that the Nexus line is suppose to represent "pushing the Android line and what to expect from future Android phones."

Nope, happy with WP7, boy it's great to not lag on the homescreen

The Nexus S is a Samsung product that actually works. They've actually put a lot more effort in the Nexus S than they have the Galaxy S, which is sad to see on many levels. With the build of the Nexus S, and the power of hummingbird, the Nexus S is what all Galaxy S phones should have been. My Moment was a brick in terms of build, dropped it all the time but nothing went wrong with it. But the fact that it had no real hardware support for openGL, was built on 1.5 even though 1.5 didn't support CDMA, and the network issues were so far up there, I'd have to reset my phone 3 times a day! I had to send it back 2 more times and the same thing over and over! Rooting wouldn't help either! So they try to pawn the Intercept off to me as an "upgrade." A smaller resolution that most apps don't support, a slower network, and no Amoled screen? That's not an upgrade. When I had my Epic, the build quality was okay, nothing close to what my Evo is though. But I was tired of waiting for an update that should have come stock on the phone! With a phone like the Galaxy S there is no reason is should have shipped with 2.1! I'm glad Google is the one supporting the Nexus S and not Samsung, because then the Nexus S would have been stuck on 2.3 for half a year after the next Android comes out. I wouldn't mind the Nexus S, but that would be the only Samsung phone I would buy now. After 2 that had terrible support from Samsung, yeah right.

Disagree with you a little bit there. I've got a Samsung TV, and Bluray player and both are amazing. It's their phone products that aren't too great. The Nexus S like I said, is what the Galaxy S should have been.

Samsung's hardware is amazing in my opinion.. Their tv's are the best,, and we saw it on our samoled screens.. I show my phone's picture to people and they are wowed... My vibrant is nice rooted on froyo.. But stock.... It's a piece of...
Thank xda for awesome developers.
samsung's software (touch wiz) sucks..
they don't release updates or keep their word.. They piss enough people off. But people keep coming back..
The nexus is saved by google. but honestly.. The nexus one set new standards on upcoming android phones. We didn't see much competition.. The nexus s came out.. With the same hardware we saw two seasons ago.. New standards? Na I don't think so.. instead we are looking forward to dual core phones.. 4g capable phones.. And to me the nexus isnt much of a difference from what we already had.. Cmon samsung! You should have surprised us with new shzz!
Still love my Vibrant though.. Just wish it was officially on froyo, had an FFC, perhaps some 4g capability... Psh.. I WISH! -__-"

Here I agree. I have samsung tv myself, and it is good. I also had their portable audio players, but they were bad. Nexus S has no sd card slot, 16 gb isnt bad, but what about powerusers? No 3G + support, full 4G coverage is still in the far future. Processor is still the same as in previous phones. No gig of ram. Its like a tiny upgrade of nexus one, not counting 4G and front camera. Oh wait, isnt back camera is 5 megapixels?
They should stop making dozens of models, and create 1 master phone, that kicks asses.

That's sort of what they do now. They have two basis for their major phones.
Hummingbird
or
Samsung S3C6410
They've used Hummingbird in all of their high end phones, and the S3 in their mid-low end phones, and their older flagships like the Spica, the Moment. It's used now in another Galaxy phone I know(Not sure which one), I believe the Behold II has the cpu just not clocked as high, the Transform uses it, and the Intercept uses it.

I have sold my Wave S8500 and Galaxy I5800...I have learned my lesson.....No more Samsung produtcs for me.
Bad quality hardware and bad software support (updates, etc.) and bad customer service.
Google is making a huge mistake here!!

put simply...samsung hardware rocks, but samsung software blows. they really need to dump touchwiz and start from scratch...but imagine htc sense running on a galaxy s...epic win

I own both a Nexus one and a Nexus S. The NS is by far the better phone. Sure the N1 has metal and looks great it is in no way comparable to the NS. No android phone out right now compares with the NS.

How Are The Sales of The Infuse?

Does anyone know how well the Infuse is selling?

Yep its selling great I wotk for a authorized retailer and I can tell you when people get smart they will drop that iphone and get a real device

sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...

I think with the Samsung Attain coming to AT&T pretty soon, as well as the iPhone 5 dropping in another 3-4 months (as per oft-repeated rumours) , ppl are holding out on buying this gem. I know a few captivate owners who're happy with their phones, and most ppl on iPhone 3g/3gs are waiting for the 5.
For me, the 4.5 inch screen, good battery life and sleekness of the device were an easy sell to ditch my iPhone 4 and get this. But I haven't seen many ppl with the Infuse at work, or when I'm wandering around in the city or on public transportation.

I think this may very well be the best time to get the Infuse. Mine is on its way from AMZ where it's priced the same as the local Costco ($129) which is incidently the lowest I've paid for a phone in years.
I contemplated waiting to see what Jobs have to offer this week at their conference as well as whether ATT will bring in the Infuse older bro. But at what cost and whether it would make a difference in my usage?
Now if only the stars line up in that (a) ATT won't prevent me from grandfathering in my unlimited data plan (esp since I did not upgrade in their store) and (b) the rooted or not Infuse allows me to do what I'm used to doing with my IP4 (tethering, Outlook sync, notes, CNBC streaming quotes, Stanza, A2DP e.g.) I'm good to go.

We have to think about the upgrade plans. I have both the Cappy and the Infuse just because my girlfriend changed her plan I was able to get it. Else, I think I would just wait for the Attain, but who cares, hopefully this time next year, quad core phones come out!.....
But loving every peace of the infuse than cappy. Wayyy better battery life, screen I think is about the same, camera, sleekness, and build quality I think is better than the cappy though...

The screen is certainly not the same as Captivate. The 4.5" screen is by far the best feature of the phone and the main reason I upgraded to it from the Captivate's 4".
I decided against the SGS II on this upgrade because of issues with headphone sound not being that great and a 4.3" screen ( I wanted a big screen upgrade from Captivate 4").
Apparently, Samsung decided to change the sound hardware in the SGS II and a reason why we will not see Voodoo Sound on it. Also, I see no reason for a dual core phone right now (at least for me) as there are no real apps that take advantage of it yet. In addition, Samsung will be releasing SGS III early next year.

Yeah I hear they're selling really well....but I haven't seen one around. The only one I've seen is the one my GF just got. I'm thinking about it myself.

Usually sales are for a week or two. I got my Infuse for $199 then they lowered it to $149 so I went back for the difference lol...they still have it for $149, but I'm gonna return it before my 30 days and most likely get it again the following week. Hopefully for the $99!!

I just took another glance at the ad. It says all prices and offers are good from June 19-25. So you have one week! Get on it!

Just a tribute to the Captivate...

I can't believe I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to the Galaxy S2. The Cappy has been such a good experience as a phone and it's still able to do whatever I need it to do. When the Fuze came out I couldn't help but be there the first day to pick one up. I was compelled to have the latest and greatest, and the abilities a new smartphone would allow. The same happened the release day of the Captivate.
Sure, it's had its issues (GPS and capped data speeds come to mind) but between the performance of hardware and the constant ROM updates from the dev community, I just don't feel that compulsion to move on from the Captivate. For me it's been a great phone and it's made me a big fan of Samsung's products. Oh I'll get a Galaxy S2 here in a month or two when the price comes down a bit. But I'm still happy with my Captivate and I'll keep it around as a backup.

ditto
i will likely wait until december unless the deal is too good to pass up.
Want to see what develops with the nexus prime.
Some info claims it will be a Verizon Exclusive but i am skeptical. I think that it is more likely we will see it launch exclusively on verizon with a 30-60 window before other carriers get it....so i am not giving up on the prime....the solid metal body construction alone will be worth the wait...just hope ATT gets it.

That is what has my attention as well...Galaxy Note.

I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Captivate either. Its a weird feeling, I use to be such a phone whore, now I look at new phones and feel they can't do a whole lot for me (personally, I know the phones are actually huge upgrades) that my Captivate can't do.
I HATE how ALL of the new phones being announced are so huge! 4.3" isn't TOO bad, but I do prefer my 4" screen. They're just getting bigger too, I want the Nexus Prime so badly, but there's no way I'm getting it with a 4.65" screen. My upgrade isn't until May 2012 and I'm questioning if there will even be a phone out there I like by then.

I'm with you guys. Once the GS II finally came out, I am not as excited. The last ROM I put on is great and until that note comes out, paying 200 for the GS2 isn't so alluring.
Especially with LTE on horizon and the Note, which will be awesome.
It's like an old friend, even knowing something is better out there, I'm not ready to trade in my old worn in shoes

The article says 4.6". It may not be so bad since that probably includes the buttons at the bottom, I'll just have to see it in person, but I still think it will be a very large device.

I'm a captivate owner and I really love it. I will not change it in a while..

The only two things that I don't really like in Captivate are very bad sensitive buttons (well, I replaced screen after it was broken, and than buttons were like that) and very bad battery life, especially with MIUI
But speed and functionality are just grear. And still love the screen with maximum brightness. I think I will buy Galaxy Note or Nexus Prime, will see...

I'm with you guys, but not by choice. I have a contract to fulfil.

I'll also be waiting for the Note.

I just looked up the Galaxy Note. Wow...! That thing looks amazing. It might be just a bit too big but I'm really considering jumping on that.

I'm with you guys. There is no real reason to upgrade just yet. With a good custom ROM (Cog5), it does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly. The screen is just amazing, and only the SAMOLED Plus beats it, if you ask me. Since I'm not on contract, I can switch when I want, but I see nothing out there I just gotta have. The Prime may change that, but if it is CDMA, then I'm out. Big Red is too expensive for my blood.

I was in the same scenario.

sold my captivate and got a free iphone 4 from my company. I dont miss the phone bills but i can honestly say the Cappy ****s on the Iphone. ****ing hate this thing

Nexus S

My thoughts after picking up a Nexus S on Friday
I have been trying figure out what phone to get next after the Captivate for a few months now. Cappy is a great phone however considering all the stuff we had to do to it just to get the phone working right it has sometimes been a love hate relationship. Lag, GPS, lack of updates etc...
When the SGSII came out I saw just about everybody abandon the Cappy even those that swore that they would never buy another Samsung phone again after all the issues with the early Cappy builds. SGS2 is an incredible phone with no major issues and it tempted me greatly but I did not want to deal with getting updates from Samsung and AT&T anymore. The new Nexus Galaxy is the phone to get but at the price they will be asking it just doesn't appeal to me along with the size of the phone. I am not a big gamer, nor do I watch movies on my phone so having a gigantic phone is not very practical since it's my work phone too.
That lead me to the Nexus S which I had always wanted and they are so cheap now that they are a steal.
Gingerbread 2.3.4 right out of the box and about an hour after I had everything set up I rec'd a notice on my phone that the ota update to 2.3.6 was ready to flash. Now that's how updates should work. Smooth, fast and everything works without any tweaking and battery life is great so far. I don't feel the need to do anything beyond rooting at the moment and Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner.
Yeah, blah blah blah, no 720P native playback or recording but why watch movies on my phone when I have a 60" big screen.
Cappy relegated to backup status for now!

I agree fully with the update thing.

I have a Galaxy Nexus, and it's great! It's for Verizon tho' (Payment for flashings an Evo 3D to boost). I mainly use it as a Gaming system. It's amazing, the screen size makes up for a lot. I have Parinoid android on it, and SlideMe keyboard. Makes it perfect. Plus! You'll never have to worry about updates, or ROMs. Offical updates from Google are quick, and let's say there isn't a lack of ROMs.

I would go for the Nexus if you like flashing ROMs. The design is also notably superior.
However, the camera pales in comparison to ours, especially in lowlight.

It's not a bad camera. I just think ours is better.
It doesn't sound like you really need the Mytouch 4G Slide, so I would recommend selling and buying if you have your heart set on a Nexus.
I believe I read something about Google releasing new devices around November. Regardless, it might be better to wait for the next Nexus phone.

A week before he was executed my father passed away, and a few days later my grandmother passed away. Also in 2008 my brother died of an aneurysm right in front of me. Needless to say, I needed something good to happen, and it finally did.

Thinking about selling my mt4gs and getting a galaxy nexus. Should I do this?

I have both phones in my house. I have a MT4GS picked up off eBay and I bought a Galaxy Nexus for my wife, just so she'd quit complaining about her iPhone 3GS's data issues on T-Mobile.
MT4GS
I want to start by saying that the physical keyboard wasn't a big selling point. I was shopping for a cheap phone with higher end hardware. The MT4GS fit the bill nicely, I have less than $150 in mine.​
I still running the stock ROM and I just unlocked my MT4GS yesterday, still in S-ON mode. I am planning to try a couple of ROM soon.
I love the camera app, available memory (especially compared to the Garminfone and MT3GS I've previously owned).
I'm ok with the stock clock widget with integrated weather.
I hate the dialer app, why HTC / T-Mobile decided to switch from offering Favorites to offering Group Texting is beyond me.
Galaxy Nexus
I love the cleanliness of the stock Android experience, but I'm still not thrilled with the dialer app.
I've already added another calendar app to mimic the iPhone's month view with agenda below.
I love that this phone is running 4.1 before most manufacturers have pushed 4.0 to their phones.
I miss the Sense like clocks, I'll probably install Sense Analog Glass Clock at some point...
I worry about the robustness of the design. It's just soo thin and light. Which may be ok in my wife's purse, but my phone is usually in my back pocket.

This is exactly the kind of info I wanted to know, thank you. To the op, sorry for hijacking your thread for a minute there.
