Thanks a lot. You too Faceless. So I'm guessing these are considered to better than the -oid emulators?

My X used to lag when I ran anything that modified the launcher, the lockscreen, or a live wallpaper. That's one thing I don't miss at all on my Tuna.
Using widgetlocker on cm7 was pretty damn flawless for me. Of course, i completely replaced the default locker, and only had a single widget for time. I should post a pic, it was pretty.
The videos aren't compressed on Verizon. The buffering times are insanely short on LTE too.

We're allowed to talk emulators but not roms?
I'm just asking cause I'm looking for compatible roms for these emulators that were posted so...

Feels good man, my first Google Wallet experience was pretty mindblowing too.

Thanks! I missed Swype so much and had no idea because the ICS keyboard is still really good.
Any thoughts as to Swype's voice dictation v ICS's version?

Oh shit yes. Have been waiting to try out Swype. Never used it before but I like the idea and was slightly heartbroken to find out it doesn't work on the GN.
Edit: Hmm, can't seem to download languages. It just stops at "Queued for download..."
Sometimes there's a progress bar appearing, but it stays on 0 and reverts back to Queued sooner rather than later. It this build incompatible with downloading languages?
Edit 2: Ah, it seems the Swype download servers are down regardless of build. Will try again later!

does SwiftKey work on the GNEX!?
Wondering this as well. I cant find any way to shut that off.

Ok, so, I'm having a pretty huge problem with my Galaxy Nexus right now. What happens is that when I'm playing games (Sonic CD, any emulators, whatever - it's the same regardless of what game/emu it is) the multitouch sometimes just... stops working or something? Like, playing a game usually works perfectly, but suddenly when I boot one up, it refuses to respond to simultaneous d-pad + button presses. Meaning I can't jump and move sideways at the same time, rendering most games nigh-unplayable.
I'm thinking this goes for any multitouch inputs on my phone when it reaches this state, it's just that games are the only instances where it's actually noticable. It seems to have something to do with the buttons being in the corners of the screen, I think. Could just be my imagination but yeah. Has anyone had similar experiences or have any clue what could be causing this? Sometimes it helps when I reboot the phone, sometimes it doesn't.

Theres a video (maybe a few by now) on YouTube of that exact problem. Usually happens, as you said, near the corners. I'm sure there's a fix on the way.
there are some people reporting this on XDA. Does your phone get warm in those areas? Most of the people on XDA say a simple sleep and unsleep fixes it, if you have to reboot to MAYBE fix the problem I would return it.

Everything else is working perfectly so I doubt it's a hardware fault worth returning the phone over really. It does get hot in the upper right corner (portrait mode) but nowhere else. I'm not actually pushing buttons in that region though.
Edit: Okay, so, turning the screen on/off DOES seem to help even in my case. Shit's weird. Really hoping for a fix though.
On another note, does anyone know if the iControlPad universal clamp tingy works with the Galaxy Nexus, or is it too big? I know the new Gametel allegedly does fit it, but that one has no analog sticks

Yes. That has always been the rule on GAF since emulators aren't necessarily used for piracy.
Don't know if this will help, but that happens on my phone (not a NEXUS). On my phone, it was due to lockscreen apps.

For the most part "yes", but in some apps (like using the NeoGaf SecondApps site in the stock browser) the predictive text doesn't work.

This phone is amazing..
Soo much better than my old htc hero.
But one problem is my mobile number (which was imported from g+) is wrong and I can't change it..

Auto-brightness setting is a bit dark, but you can adjust, of course.

On max brightness the screen is absolutely gorgeous. Too bad the battery dies so fast when its set that way though.
I do think it's plenty bright at 40%. Battery life is decent there too. Works for me, I just charge at night.

Can we just close this thread and move onto the Android OT yet?
5-6 hours of screen time with the extended battery.

Bloody hell, are you telling me that the Galaxy Nexus has a fudged touchscreen like the Nexus One? How can we be sure it's a software issue and not a hardware one?
How do I get Swype to work? I have it inatalled but my keyboard is the same
You want to rub it into peoples faces that you have a Nexus running ICS? I think it's a bit unfair when most phones don't have the OS update. Plus people are here discussing Galaxy Nexus specific issues too.
This is a nice article:

I don't know but just letting the screen enter sleep mode seems to fix it without fail for me, now that I found that trick. Just a minor annoyance now.
Keep your pentile discussions contained to this thread please.
Fixed.

If we are going to wait for any other Android phone to get ICS, the threads will never converge.

you can talk about how to dump your own roms from your own legally owned games.
If you have a Galaxy Nexus specific issues, where do you think someone is more likely to respond/agree/or provide a solution?
I believe Galaxy Nexus issues should stay here. Specially now that so many more people will probably be using this line of phones (due to it being on Big Red, unlike other Nexus devices).
But that's just me.
Settings > Language and Input. Under "Keyboard and Input Methods", click Default and change that to Swype. Also, under that same section, make sure the box next to Swype is checked.
Wondering this too.
I also hate shitty looking app icons. I replaced the stock browser icon (which is pretty) witht he Dolphin Browser HD one and it just looks like poopy.
if they have a g+ profile it is high res.
Is the 5-6 hours of screen time all using LTE? The big reason is to make sure i can get into the unlimited trick, otherwise i'd wait for a better LTE phone, but i'm jumping ship to VZW at some point, may as well get it over with now if i can get into it

Woot, the unlimited trick worked for me as well! Does this mean I actually have a reason to root now? As in, doing so will allow me to tether as much as I damn well please??

Just found something for pulling high res photos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404947
Someone check that option out and let us know.
Well, it was yesterday for me and I used 3G the entire day because VZW's LTE was down. And keep in mind it was my first day with the phone. I was also texting a bunch over GVoice.

Having some people on Google+ helps. Those pictures are synced in High Res.
The few close friends and relatives I have outside of that (on FB) I just find a picture either in my Picasa web albums or via the Facebook app (set picture as option).
I can never get my hair that spiky.
Worth it. Great app. Someone be sure to include it in the new Android apps thread.
