Stock ICS is the sexiest android has ever been. Froyo and GB were ugly as hell, you are on crack. You probably like the green cuz youre a hippie, sorry they didnt put rainbows in there for you

SarkOzy · 12-17-2011, 03:00 AM

Lol, it's whatever. Gb and froyo were both meh, I only prefer gb for the functionality. I'm not alone in my "wtf why tron blue" thought though. Just because it may look "clean" doesn't mean it's practical. I've tried for the last 3 days to get used to it, and I've only gotten more frustrated anytime I'm outdoors. For the record though:

I havent had any issues seeing the blue while outdoors

SarkOzy · 12-17-2011, 03:11 AM

Lol, to each his own. I have a habit of occasionally glancing at the phone to check signal, etc when I'm walking in the woods to make sure I'm not roaming and killing the battery. I got pissed enough today to just turn the damn thing off because I couldn't see the signal bars. Granted I was also at the beach and in bright sunshine lol.

Honestly I love everything else about ics though. The menus are laid out well and the messaging app is nice since they revised it after the initial builds. Someone just needs to figure out how to theme the OS and make a white or green theme. :p

Theres a white theme for the GNex so its only a matter of time.

Hippie eyes don't like blue?

I think the blue/black is clean, sexy, and easy enough to read, I've had that theme on for quite a while. On MIUI first, then CM7.

Went back to Verizon store this morning. Greeting lady told me I wouldn't be able to get phone, because I ordered it and I would have eligibility pending. She said it wouldn't be able to be changed if I had it ordered already, even tho it hadn't been shipped yet. I had her sign me in so they could double check anyway. Went over to the Gnex, used it to get le # to LetsTalk.com, called them, cancelled my order, talked to sales rep and walked out with a Gnex 10 minutes later.

As for the buttons, they did disappear when I watched a YouTube video at full-screen earlier today.

Ban Mike for "hum-bug" syndrome imo

I think mine has good battery life. I have yet to fully charge the extended battery, but it seemed to do good with it being idle from 11am til 7pm and then I played with it for maybe 30 minutes before the 15% pop-up came up. Take in to consideration I didn't charge it at all from the get go and it was at maybe half battery (can't recall)?

chevyrado14 · 12-17-2011, 01:15 PM

Mine has been decent. Haven't had a good test yet. I was in a sucky area yesterday so it didn't do well today should be better. You would think Aberdeen proving grounds would have good signal. No 3g at all.

One of the ICS builds for DX just got radio and gps working

Everyone who has tried his first build without those things say its fast and sexy. Has a few little bugs but he wanted to get radio and gps going first.

Might flash his second build after he releases it. Probably won't keep it if its buggy but DFW to at least taste le ICS on DX.

SarkOzy · 12-18-2011, 12:23 AM

Flashed a beta miui v4 and holy shit, it's awesome. Aside from the bugs in the port. Compared to stock ics it's not even close performance wise, must be the hardware rendering. It's still a piece of Communist Chinese bullshit but it is pretty.

DFW communist bullshit v4 for DX

SarkOzy · 12-18-2011, 01:30 AM

So, how useful would an ATT nexus s be in an area where there's only Edge coverage? The nearest town with 3G is 40 miles away. I met a guy today that would trade his for my Fascinate. He switched from att to Verizon and has the phone still, just isn't using it. Currently has an Incredible.

dfw NS, dnw edge, especially if that's what you'll be on all the time

MikeH · 12-18-2011, 02:03 AM

Depending on the area ATT edge might be just as fast as VZW 3G.

**stonehenge** · 12-18-2011, 02:06 AM

I don't know from experience but everyone I knew who ever had a smartphone on ATT said edge sucked balls.
