How do you turn off animations on the Google Nexus? Is that only for rooted phones?
Check this out guys!!
True Nexus freedom!! I want them to re-think this!!
But they are not going to piss off their net neutrality buddies (Verizon).

I agree with the concept, but that article and specifically the title are misleading.
They estimated 'unlimited' users would use about 15MB per month. Most of us use that much overnight while our phones are sleeping.
Brought more in today's terms, though, I agree completely with the idea.
Wasn't the 15 Mb per month an estimate of how much data users would use between the phone and Google's own services. I mean we are talking about G1 days here, when the iPhone was on EDGE only.
Oh god, I really want this phone but $399 is a stretch =/ Damn you ATT! Not really phone knowledgeable and this is probably a little off topic but what phones are comparable to the Galaxy Nexus that are available/coming out on ATT? Been sitting with my 3GS and was kinda waiting on the iPhone 5 but I'm yearning for something different from iOS.
HTC One X yo!

For us Canucks.
Expansys is matching Google with $399.00 for Nexus. Ships to Canada too. $440 with tax shipping. Exchange rate right now: 1 CAD = 1.0175 USD

has calmed down a bit.
Has anyone's Google Play GNEX order shipped? Damn, I was hoping to have it by this weekend, but it hasn't shipped yet. 
You can disable transition animations on damn near every unrooted android device running Froyo and higher.
For the GN, go to settings then developer options. Go to the transition and window animation scale at the bottom and set them to off.

Awesome, thanks!
there's a lot of variance in the screens unfortunately. Unmodded GS2s had green tints, so I'm not really sure which is worse.
Do your grays look purple at low brightness?
If I turn brightness all the way down it looks purple.
Yes. Especially a gray screen. Unfortunately. you don't really notice it most times. Going to the market you do.

I'll be amused if the GSIII's screen is also PenTile.
There are at least 2 very different GN screens. Everyone I know that has one besides me (4) has a more washed out, lighter screen with more purple. I can only assume that's the more common screen.
i doubt you're the only person who doesnt have an issue, I think its more likely you just dont notice it
Tell me about it.
Google should have never worked with Verizon if shit was gonna be like this.
I dont really have any other problem with the phone right now besides this freaking disaster
I knew that there was no way that Verizon wouldn't fuck anything up. Seriously, why is it that them and Comcast are the only two companies that annoy the hell out of me. I'm only sticking with them since we have a family plan. As soon as I work full time, I'm seriously going to consider leaving and going the GSM route despite not having their LTE and "reliable" service.
you're not going to get much better unless you only buy unlocked GSM.
I actually switched to Verizon because i work at comcast, and with the what is basically a merger but not a merger between them and VZW i figured my bill would lower dramatically shortly.

there are variations in the screens and they don't all turn purple at low brightness. There's a picture on the Internet showing 3 GNs side by side at the same brightness and all 3 screens have different colors of grays. Some kind of flaw with the green sub pixels but I wish I knew the reason they were affected.
Do you have a link to this?
NM found a big thread on xda.
So I ended up rooting my phone in order to install the 4.0.4 update without wiping the phone. However, I lost root after the update(expected that), but now SuperUser app is still lodged in the /system/ directory, but I don't actually have root. How do I get out of this? =(
Anybody using an MHL adapter? Netflix seems to ouput at only like 480i through the MHL, but still displays 720p on the phone itself. What the hell dudes?
The other day I plugged my phone into my projector, connected my bluetooth zeemote, and boom I was playing 100" Tetrisphere through my Phone. Modular computing...mmmm so good.

Of course I don't think I'm the only one. I can definitely notice the difference, I'll post a picture tonight.
Sounds like a trouble maker if you ask me.
Indeed. Welcome back.
Is there a way to get Google music to recognize your album art?
Thanks. I think if you embed it in the mp3 before uploading it should show up in Google Music.

You can add it after the upload too in Google Music on a computer browser.
i've seen 5 Gnex's, one GSM and 4 LTE, none had the purple hue. All have banding with gray backgrounds, that's just pentile. I've never seen the comparison pictures, but since it seems EVERYONE has the purple hue i just can't see it
Mine may still have a purple hue, but the 4 others I have access to are definitely worse along with more washed out overall. You'll notice in the pictures that are soon to come, I'm sure.

There was actually an apk floating around from the Razr that output the HD signal. That worked until they updated it on the Play store, and now movies don't play until you update the app. =*(
It's ridiculous since the TI chipsets were the first to get Netflix DRM approval.

e: Oh yea, I was planning on selling my GN for a little less than I paid. Thanks alot Google for undercutting me. >=|
What if the songs are just local on my phone?
Ohhh, sorry. I'm not sure about that. Is it not recognizing any of your album art? I know it can since my cousin uses Google Music that way, even though his album art is all messed up from bTunes, but that's another thing.
I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for CM to go RC. I really want to get rid of the onscreen keys.
I think JB will be more geared toward adaptability of devices, like APIs for screens/input devices/external devices. Especially with intel getting in the scene.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Easy answer to any sort of these issues: Don't install upgrades without wiping.
Yea, I used album art grabber from the store to get all my album art. Google Music still shows no artwork for most of my stuff though. Will keep playing around with it.
As promised
Mine on right, GF's on left; same brightness setting.

Sorry, couldn't get a good focus. As I said, all 4 other GNs I've seen have the same screen as my GF's on the left.
edit: And yes, the settings screen and dark room makes the difference more apparent, it is still noticeable in normal use but I wanted to make sure no one could deny there are different screens on the GN out there
