S3 owner..new to nexus - Nexus S General

Hello. I currently own an s3 i love it but my fiancee didnt want to spend the dough and buy one... I recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus from Wirefly.com $50 dollars for a renewal upgrade figured it was an awesome deal..used a prmo code for a free bluetooth... anyways the wifey need a new phone (still using a samsung epic) and it worked out.. I was Very suprised to see 32gb internal no sd card but great for her and games lol
anybody have a recommendation on the best rom for her to use (bug free)? I know theres always a handful to choose from I was just hoping one might have a preference. . thanks

This is the Nexus "S" forums. You should take a look in the GNexus area.

My bad I just saw nexus in the forum list on tapatalk. Anyway a moderator could switch it for me?

I'm sure they probably will when they see it. It's a common mistake really. Sorry I couldn't be of help. I'm actually holding out till to see what the 1st of the year holds for us in the land of Android.

There are roms that are available for both the ns and the gnex...
I am using black bean which is inverted and similar to aokp!
Slim Rom is also pretty good if she likes stock-ish roms!

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

Goodbye NS community! :'(

Hey all!
I sold my Nexus S today, and the buyer is coming to take it tomorrow.
I wanted to keep it but yeah, money is tight .. its Heartbreaking to leave here..
I wanted to say thanks to mathkid95 for his awesome kernel, androiduser110001, cybergr, bedalus, simms22, morfic, shark on land(for his awesome troll threads ) and everyone that i have missed.
The 8 months that I had my nexus s were the most pleasant months that I have expierienced, thanks to the devs, and other users that made ma laugh . I also learned a lot more!
I decided to upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus, so Im buying that asap. (july/september). I have some tests now and school goes first.
I will see some of you in the GN forums (mixtapes , simms22, tjackbjorn)
Goodbye!
PS: I may be still be around

new galaxy note

hello people...im currently using a galaxy mini...im going to start working in a month and i am about to get a brand new galaxy note come june end...do you guys think its worth it?i mean i have read about it EXTENSIVELY, watched many videos, but have never really come face to face with it...
my usage will be for calling, texting, emails , news , games, presentations and other basic stuff like that...im going for the note coz i LOVE BIG SCREENS...im almost six feet tall and have really big hands...
and oh yeah i really dont mind how weird i might look talking over the note
so with all this in mind can i buy it?
It is an amazing phone, I've had it for 2 weeks, different roms have different battery lives, but the stock one is still very good by default.
So, go for it and come tell us about it!

Before I got my Note I was juggling between the Note and a S2 but went for the Note and I'm so happy that I chose the Note over the S2.
Go for Note. Or if you think screen is a bit big then S3 is to be released soon. That would be my next choice.

I have 40Gb+ of data on my SGS3, and that isnt counting apps.
32GB internal + 32GB external is easy to fill up, if you dont want to work your phone from the cloud for everything.
A limit of 32GB internal wouldnt cut it, IMO

Alright guys,
I'll be due for upgrade in next month. I wanted to discuss it with you.
Which phone are you going for after this adorable phone. Being honest will easily and comfortably serve another year.
I would be enticed to get the s4 but the lack of full sources from Samsung seems going to repeat itself again.
I dropped this thread hear as people will biased towards their phones in the respected forums.
Many thanks

I'd wait for at least the next Nexus it's not really worth "upgrading". Whatever you're gonna "upgrade" to except Nexus or Samsung, you'll wait forever for the next Android version, unlike the S3 users.

Read the S4 forums in detail, there are a couple of dealbreakers for me, at the moment.
Screen seems to have issues, smearing and red pixels not turning completely off on black images. Hopefully they are software related (wouldn't surprise anyone) but they could be defects.
It seems the S4 is a greatly rushed product, what a shame...
Thank you guys for your replies, people seems to mention the s4 only. What about the new handsome HTC ONE guys?

Same here, will wait till the 32gb version, if they release one.. But fear we will never see one..
Didn't Sammy promise a 32gb S3..?
I might just wait otherwise until the S5, the S3 is still a great phone and I'm tied for another year on contract.
Once the ports come for 4.2 and eventually 5.0 this will make my phone seem like a new one anyway..
I don't know what are you talking about, i have 32GB S3 model for almost 8 months... o.0

and why would you want to wait rather buying an sd card on the top of the 16g model?

I already have a 64gb mem card thanks.. but all programs get installed to the internal memory and I have some bigs games and i'm getting fed up of making space.. Also you only get to use 11gb, not 16gb
Because I need my mem card to be formatted FAT32 so my laptop can read it I can't save files bigger than 4gb on it, therefore no HD films which i have to download to internal mem, which as that stands I don't have a 4gb spare anyway..
Using directory bind there is absolutely no need for bigger internal space

It looks nice, but the camera isn't great, battery life is hit and miss, I hate the button layout (why put the power button on the top left, yuck) and no room for extra memory.
none of the gpu s out there is enough for 1080p atm so ill stick with s3 better game performance than new phones and really very little difference on browser performance doesnt worth for upgrading atm.
HTC one also has no removable back cover/battery, so there's another negative. I don't like the trend towards 'apple'-fying new phones, having expandable memory & removable battery are very important for me!
I will keep my S3 32GB GT-9300I at least until S5, and who knows maybe untill S6 if i don't have problems with it.
it's perfect for me.

Hell yes!!! If I wanted an Apple iphone I'd buy one, not an I-clone from a company who's credibilty just went down 1000 points because it jumped on the Apple bandwagon....
Leave us our expandible memory and removable battery...

Better game performance than other phones? Is this true?
