Android thread V-garychencool finally rooted his phone and got ICS edition - Hardware & Software

Any of you lucky shits ordered a Nexus 4 yet? I want reviews. Reviews of Nexus 4. I wonder if the accessories (namely the original bumper case, and.. well.. the charging dock! :v:) will be available outside the Play Store (they fucking should).

how much of a pain in the arse would it be to downgrade my phone to froyo so i can root it with visionary?

[QUOTE=garychencool;38435496]I've read enough reviews to give you a review on a device I've never even touched before.[/QUOTE] The question is, are you going to say the battery life is terrible or outstanding? :v: Each review says it's the complete opposite of the previous review.

Nexus 4/10 on sale in USA [editline]13th November 2012[/editline] And the 16GB is gone. [editline]a[/editline] And it's back?

[QUOTE=iCole;38435727]The question is, are you going to say the battery life is terrible or outstanding? :v: Each review says it's the complete opposite of the previous review.[/QUOTE] The N4's battery life is outstanding!* *in comparison to a 1.5 year old SGS2 battery experiencing charge retention problems.

That is one sexy looking phone, jesus HTC

also it has 16GB of storage and no microSD

My phone scores 1282 on Quadrant :v:

Well apparently the payment details of my first card of choice were wrong, costing me the 16GB version since it was already out of stock by time I found out, so I had to settle for the 8GB. On the plus side, I guess I'm up $50.

Ordered Nexus 10. Tried for 30 minutes. Didn't get a confirmation email. Hopefully I receive it.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38436144]also it has 16GB of storage and no microSD[/QUOTE] Instant no-buy. It's funny because any apps that run at 1080p are going to be huge in file size, as are videos. 16GB is simply unacceptable.

[QUOTE=Koolguy11;38436328]Ordered Nexus 10. Tried for 30 minutes. Didn't get a confirmation email. Hopefully I receive it.[/QUOTE] I still haven't gotten an order confirmation email either, but [noparse]https://play.google.com/store/thankyou?order=[/noparse]<my order number> and [noparse]https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transaction:[/noparse]<my order number> both show that it went through.

Why they give the One X+ 64GB and their new flagship 16GB is beyond me.

Take the amazing One X screen and add a million pixels. I'm fucking worried about buying the iPhone 5 because even if I wouldn't notice the difference, I'd still know this thing puts my screen to shame.

[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;38436145]My phone scores 1282 on Quadrant :v:[/QUOTE] 2165, almost double, woo (it got even higher on a de-Sensed ROM, but I couldn't use that for daily use)

When I get my One X should I install Cyanogenmod on it? If not, what? I'm thinking of keeping it vanilla for a few days to see if I want to alter it.

[QUOTE=Scot;38436430]When I get my One X should I install Cyanogenmod on it? If not, what? I'm thinking of keeping it vanilla for a few days to see if I want to alter it.[/QUOTE] Your phone isn't vanilla to begin with.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;38436441]Your phone isn't vanilla to begin with.[/QUOTE] You know what I mean.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;38436441]Your phone isn't vanilla to begin with.[/QUOTE] I think he meant vanilla relative to how his phone came out of the box.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;38436441]Your phone isn't vanilla to begin with.[/QUOTE] You just had to be that guy :v:

[QUOTE=Scot;38436374]Why they give the One X+ 64GB and their new flagship 16GB is beyond me.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't really call it a flagship, seeing as it'll only be released on Verizon. The One X+ is still their flagship. But I have no idea why Verizon didn't want more storage on this thing, especially since they were one of the few providers that carried a 32 GB version of the G-Nex.

[img]http://puu.sh/1pOuk[/img] Nothing seems to be happening. How long is it gonna be like this?

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38436144]also it has 16GB of storage and no microSD[/QUOTE] Ew, what was HTC thinking? Nice screen though.

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;38436505][img]http://puu.sh/1pOuk[/img] Nothing seems to be happening.

[editline]13th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=garychencool;38436534]Ew, what was HTC thinking? Nice screen though.[/QUOTE] Problems. Android GPU hardware will not be running games at 1920x1080. More RAM has to be allocated to storing frames in the framebuffer because of the increased resolution(2x the RAM required per frame). No 1080p content will fit like you said. Oh and a GPU not up to the task + Android's lag + HTC Sense bloat. I'm not too excited for how this phone is going to run.

[img]http://puu.sh/1pOEB[/img] Well that didn't work.
