Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I hear what you are saying, but there is always gonna be a bigger better phone. I guess you just have to pick one and stick with it.

As an addendum to my last post, I removed the sim card and put it back in and now I am getting some 4G inside and getting some strong 4G outside. So I guess I can live with that since I absolutely love the phone.

My buddy who works with Sprint said its normal for a phone to go in and out of 4G at this point.

The only thing that I find strange is that when its in 3G its not getting any bars. My X consistently got 3 bars in my house. Weird.

Honestly, I hardly ever use 4G. It's just too much of a battery killer. Until they start including higher capcity batteries, I won't use it regularly.

Still love my Atrix.

We'll have to wait for Quad Core 2GB Ram 1080p for upgrade to be worth it.

Ended up taking the Nexus back unfortunately. Loved the phone, but couldn't deal with no 3G signal in my house. I picked up the Razr and am getting 4 3G bars consistently now.

I really hope it gets the ICS update soon.

Google Chrome released for Andriod!

It is great. If you are a regular user of Chrome, you will love it even more. It syncs all your bookmarks, etc.

Took a while, but love it.

Nice. I'll have to check this out.

Just got done installing it and it's pretty cool.

Thanks.

Clarify, must be running Android 4.0.0 and up. I'm rooted and running 4.0.3.

Anyway, here are the feature list.

Features:
- Browse fast with accelerated page loading, scrolling, and zooming
- Search and navigate directly from the omnibox
- Open and switch between unlimited tabs in an easy-to-view stack
- Sign in to Chrome to sync your bookmarks and view tabs you have open on your computer
- Send pages from desktop Chrome to your smartphone or tablet with one click and read them on the go, even if you’re offline
- Browse privately in Incognito mode

Incognito is cool but had that on a rooted browser before. I definitely like the way the tabs are done, though. Also, there are plans to have much more implemented through Sync.

It's still in beta too so hopefully they are able to lower the specs so phones when <4.0 can handle it.

I'm surprised it took them this long to compile their own browser for their OS.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Well I really regret trading my Rezound for the Nexus....The Nexus has huge issues with 4G and I am live in a 4G heavy area. The Rezound never left 4G even at my job. With the Nexus I am lucky to get 4g constant and usually it is 3G or 1x

The phone is great but I cant deal with not being able to have 4G on a consistent basis when the Rezound did..

Didn't the android browser in ICS do most of this already?

EDIT - Actually, looking at my phone i guess not. I could already do incognito on the tablet but not phone.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Any word on when ICS might be released for phones like the SGII?

Should be right around the corner. If you root, I believe it is available already.

I have it on my phone, although it won't be officially released for another month or so.

EDIT: If you have HTC, HTC will receive by end of March.
