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.

GS2 is not even out and GS3 coming in fall?? wtf...

http://www.itproportal.com/2011/04/27/samsung-galaxy-s3-challenge-iphone-5-autumn/
If true thats ridiculous....the GS2 isn't even out yet! Can we wait at least a year and a half for a successor?? I'd imagine many wont be pleased is thats true...
I want to get a new phone but its crazy how so may phones come out so quickly and out-dating the other...I feel like just getting the Iphone 5 and stick with that, at least there wont be a million choices like with android and get tempted to keep switching back and forth, I swear with android its like a new phone thats better comes out shortly after one phone comes out.
Anyone think they know what IP5 might have? Dual Core, better screen, different design, better Camera?

Note how that article says samsung is thinking of a 2ghz device sometime next year, NOT this year, then there is speculation that the device is the SGS3, and then there is someone doing even further speculation that it could come out this fall, even though we know this is impossible partly because the SGS2 variant for verizon probably won't be out until a couple months before then at best based on current news. This is just overspeculation leading to insane predictions. SGS3 in Jan or Feb next year is possible though if Tegra 3 is out by then though, as samsung will want to compete, but that's just my own speculation and have no factual data backing it as well.

Meh, I like having the highest tiered phone as much as the next guy so something new/awesome coming out right after I got the past top tier phone is a little irritating, however having new things out is always great.
I can't see me needing anything stronger than the Galaxy S 2; I would love a 4.5 inch screen but 4.3 and the specs it has is great.

The Wonders of competition I'd rather they were doing this than have technology move very slowly, Just pick a phone you like, Not slow, looks good, nice screen, decent camera and then stick with it

Agreed. You can drive yourself insane waiting for the perfect device. Pick whatever suits you best when you need a new phone and stick with it for a year or two or until you genuinely need more power.
I stuck with my mt3g as long as I could. Now I have the mt4g and love it! I don't anticipate outgrowing it any time soon.

It is pretty frustrating :S Especially for Canadians, we get locked in 3 year contracts, not 2

Well you're not alone. It's not like software/graphics wise, it's keeping up with the hardware. I don't really see any game that's pushing the tegra devices to their limit, or even power vr sgx540.
So point being, even if hardware improves dramatically next year, last year's phones will still keep up with what today demands.

sgs2 is already out, just not in north america yet.

Lulzy.
I don't see a problem with SGS the Third coming out next year... one solid leap forward every year sounds perfectly legitimate to me so long as the tech and improvements are keeping pace.

Yeah. I'm a little knicked that I got a great phone (HTC HD2) released here in the US a little over a year ago, then the next thing I know it's EVO with Android, no Android for the HD2 (still the best hardware out there) and no Windows Phone 7 upgrade for the HD2 either from TMO. Now I'm trolling XDA and trying to put together the info and ability (and trying to work up the balls) to set up my HD2 on a dual boot with Android on SD and WinMo 6.5 NAND.

It gets old.

wth!!! how look that? i think really better than GS2

On TMo, what phone is the next best thing?

I have 90 days to return my phone at Costco so I'm wondering what the next best phone will be and will it be out within my 90 day window?

You can wait for the G2X to come in stock at which point hopefully all of its issues will be resolved. As for almost 90 days from now..I'm sure you'll have more options.

Check this out.

I'd get as close to the 90 days as possible and get a Hercules personally.

If ya can wait till the end of summer, the Hercules will be the most powerful, feature rich device TMo will release in 2011(most likely). That's if all goes well with production. You also need to like holding tablet to your face.... It's a 4.5" beast. Good thing about the Hercules is that it is reported to have AT&T radios, so you'd covered when TMo get swallowed up.
Keep in mind though, pretty much every early review of the Sensation 4G said it was compatible with At&T...only later to be dismissed as false.
Only bad thing, imo, is that's it's made by Sammy. They use way too much plastic in their cell phones for my personal taste. I've never held a Samsung phone that felt like high quality in hand. That will still not prevent me from checking it out and possible making the purchase. AMOLED is nice but for me is too colorized.
I like big screens, but one would think 4.5" or maybe 4.7" will eventually be the acceptable limit for cell phones...but who knows...It'll probably hit 5" eventually. If it has a 16:9 aspect ratio like the Sensation, then it won't be too wide at least.

I'm assuming you've never held a Samsung Captivate. at&t's variant of the SGS was by far the best. I've never had a higher build-quality phone except my trusty Nokia 3390 Gold (the first AIM phone) that took a dive in a swimming pool and still worked when I pulled the battery out and let it dry for 5 days. Its all about how much the carrier is willing to invest in the making of the phone and how much they will actually subsidize. It's not Samsung's fault the carriers are cheap LOL

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

they lost me at 4.5" screen with only 480 x 800 resolution... S AMOLED + screen or not.
Samsung needs to bump that up.
rest of the specs look good.

I do not have the sensation quite yet but I have had quite a few phones including the Verizon variant of the SGS. I said I would never buy another samsung device because of extremely slow upgrades and lack of developer support for the Samsung devices.
That being said it seems that has completely changed. Samsung is moving fast to catch up with upgrades and since HTC is locking bootloaders developers are moving to the platforms that are more open.
So if i was to give my opinions. HTC has been my favorite manufacturer for quite sometime but the Fascinate (Verizon SGS) was one of the best android devices i've ever owned. Good battery life, good performance, fantastic screen, Crappy interface(Touchwiz 4.0 is much better), and super thin and light.
I know i didn't answer your question directly but hopefully my convoluted answer is of some help lol..

Isn't that the Million Dollar Question? The specs on the Hercules showed it not having an Exynos Chipset, and instead using the same Qualcomm that's in our Sensation. It should look almost identical to the ATT Inspire with a 4.5 SAMOLED+/480x800 screen. After using my thunderbolt with a 480 x 800 4.3 inch screen and my Sensation with a qHD display it now seems silly for devices with giant screens to not at least be qHD. All it does is make the icons and text larger. Maybe it's cool for old people, but I now love the extra usable real estate on my screen.

So true.... That 4.5in screen deserves nope demands a qHD display
Such a shame... I would have killed for it. Oh well maybe in another six months
Mobile industry is running out of stuff to upgrade every two months.

The fact is you can always make more room on any rom, on any device by editing the build.prop
Stock is usually 240, on builds for HD2 I always edited them to have either 200 or 180.

I seriously think that the G2x is the best phone in the T-Mobile line up.
Unlocked bootloader
Vanilla Android
Super Snappy
HDMI port
Tegra 2 processor
Great build quality
Great GPS
Great data reception
8mp camera
Tegra Games
Cyanogen and many others developing for it.
And is just 2.2 Froyo, This phone will be even better when 2.3 comes out.
Despites the issues people have been having with the G2x which most if not all are software, I do believe that there isn't a better phone in the T-Mobile lineup as of now.
Sensation is a good phone but not just as good as the G2x.

Anyone else find it curios LG release two gb phones...

LG releases two new gb phones of the "optimus" line.
http://tinyurl.com/65lt3sd
What bothers me here is how they do something like this for some ghetto phones but didn't do this for a flagship phone? or instead of devoting putting more manpower towards the issues with our phone we put people to work putting 2 new gb devices out. Feels like the whole Samsung debacle all over again.

You answered your own question. The company makes money selling new phones. We have already purchased our phones. Samsung did it, most other manufacturers do it, it's just how they roll. If they can make money pushing a new product before they update current devices they will put current on the back burner. Money money money.

Yea your right and I know it....doesn't make me feel any better about it. Pisses me off actually. Samsung damaged their rep badly...you would think LG wouldn't make the same mistake. If they took care of us we would be repeat customers and would use word of mouth to spread LG glory. Instead the reverse will happen. Its bad business.

They damaged their rep with heavy users, but the majority of people don't give a **** about upgrades and all that. I completely agree with you, it sucks. But from a manufacturer standpoint, the major players are doing very well. I mean look at the success of the SGSII and the hype for the Hercules. Technology is moving so fast and new products out all the time for people to really mean it when they say #neveragain to Samsung.

Samsung always has a Nexus phone based on their previous model. Why can't the Nexus phone BE the next big model like the Nexus One was? Nexus Phones should be the flagship of Android devices that all other phones should model after.... why has this gone?

I do tend to agree. The nexus s was not a major step forward in tech when it dropped. However if the timed the new nexus right they could make it a big deal. Give it things we want combined into one phone. Quad bands,radio, samoled, if timed right triple core,10x cam front and rear flash,HD front and rear record and playbaçk, I mean the list goes on and on and peoples desires vary but who ever makes it needs to listen to the consumer and do it right.
Success is based off consumer purchases and satisfactory after purchase. Not how much your beta tester goes ooooh its purdy.

What you are saying is not "listen to the consumer/do it right."
I can understand Quad 3G bands. But just ask yourself: triple core? REALLY? What apps you need triple core?
I assume 10x you mean 10x digital zoom. REALLY? How many of you ACTUALLY used zoom when taking pictures?
HD front camera? REALLY? You can tell the differences of a downsized (to 800x480 or qHD) 1080i/p video?
Lets get real here.

Realistically I would love for the next generation Nexus phone to at least have 1ghz-1.2ghz dual core processor, Super Amoled Plus screen or SLCD with higher resolution than the traditional 480x800, 1080p video recording, 1.3 front facing camera, 8 megapixel camera, NFC chip, 5 inch screen without any capacitive or hardware buttons, 1800 mah battery and posibly dual stereo speakers. I think that would definitely be more than good enough and is more realistic to build. We honestly do not need anything bigger than dual core for these phones. 1ghz single core still gets the job done without lag as long as the software is built well.

I love this phone but I think next will iether be somthing from htc or nexus. This my first lg phone they gona have to really impress me to buy another phone from them

do you guys think it would be a good idea to get a nexus prime?

Yes

So finally a phone you guys think is worth switching to?

Only if T-Mobile isn't cut out of the loop again and that curve on the screen isn't so insanely exaggerated as the teaser makes it appear to be.

Nexus 1 and the Nexus S launched with T-Mobile and AWS before anyone else, not sure how they got "cut out of the loop"

The Nexus S 4G (which wasn't really different), so I did do a bit of keyboard-in-mouth, for a minute there I did forget the Nexus S came out on T-Mobile first. Tired.

I came from the Nexus One, bought the G2x off-contract, specically to be able to pick up the Nexus Prime at a discount.
I just hope the nexus prime won't disappoint. Rumors on specs are mixed. The qualcomm chips in the Tmo SG2 and Amaze are meh. Also 5mp camera is meh.... other specs say it'll have the Exynos chipset and 8mp cam. Some say Verizon will get it first others say T-Mobile. Verizon has the Droid Prime with similar specs already and aren't ones to keep it clean with Android.
Either way, if the specs are worthwhile over the G2x, I'll grab it.
Best solution for me personally would be Verizon with sweet specs as my old work blackberry needs upgraded and I set up our new exchange to work properly so my company is allowing Android sets now... meaning I can kill my $70 personal T-Mobile line, sell my G2x and profit.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

I honestly don't think it's that much of an upgrade of our G2x's. Our phone is still up to par with alot of the phones out there now.. Once we get ICS on this thing, we should be fine.

Will it work on at&t?

Yeah. I think it'll get more development support and the devs won't have to worry about nvidia giving up the source codes.

The Prime looks nice but I plan on holding onto my G2x until the phone hits at least the one year mark if not more to see what's coming next spring and summer. Quad core phones anyone?

I know everyone wants the latest and greatest, but sometimes it's a bit overkill. Unless you have a good job with 500+ bucks to throw I don't see why we should be running to get the Prime when you already have a Tegra 2 Dual core device. Nothing can even tough this device yet.
It'd be hard for me to dump my dual core device for another dual core. At this point might as well wait for whatever the next gen quads come out next year. And once that happens, I don't even know what we'd do with a quad core lol.

Well... We'd buy more batteries, of course.

Lol, I seriously think they should just take a break on the progression of processors, screens, GPU's, etc. and use that time and man power in advancing the technology of battery's... That's literally the only Achilles heel that even the best smartphone's have these days.
At this point, I'd rather have the creation of a 5,000 mAH battery with out changing it's size than a quad core processor.

Agreed ten fold. I'm waiting til the Nexus Double Prime before I plan to upgrade. This phone is doing just fine, and has a very nice set of developers working on it for us.
If they did make quad core phones, I bet the battery life would be at least 20% worse than now. When I'm not even getting super amazing battery life to begin with, it might be a problem.

Yeah, main difference between the two will be updates. Something the G2X will probably never officially see. After the half ass 2.3 update we got I'm pretty much over it.
....

I really don't see the point of quad core phones; unless Google does something unbelievable with Jelly Bean that needs an insane amount of processing, nothing a smartphone does needs that much. Hell, dual core isn't even that necessary unless you run a lot of 3D stuff.
There is such a thing as overkill people. I'd like to see phone manufactorers declare the smartphone as it exists now finished and start working on some new innovations that would make better hardware necessary. 3D screen ala Nintendo 3DS with FFC capable of eye-tracking to orient the 3D so you see it at any angle?

While I agree that the G2x can hold its own, I do miss owning a nexus device. My friend still has his Nexus One and running official software we can only get via custom roms.
My reasoning to grabbing the Nexus Prime IF if launches on Verizon is so my work can pay for it. Unfortunately I heard Verizon is launching the Galaxy Prime.... which is similar but not the nexus prime backed by Google.
Well just have to wait until Tuesday. All the rumors running around its hard to make any reasonable decision.
If Verizon gets gimped on Google support then I'll keep my G2x for a long while.

Agreed. My work is on sprint and I am waiting to see if it launches on sprint. If it does, I'll pick it up. If not, either sii or stay on g2x. It looks to me that the prime is going to launch on everyone but sprint.
