No shit, I wonder if it actually kinda fades out towards the edges like that. 
I feel like we've approached the technological singularity. Laptops and tablets are becoming so irrelevant.
Yesterday I was playing with the 4S and was shocked to find out it didn't have a download manager. What if you need to download something? What the hell?

Am i right in thinking there is still no zoom in the gmail app? In the conference when they said they had added the most requested feature to gmail i thought it was going to be that but no, they gave us bloody 30 day offline mails.
For reference can you pinch zoom in the gmail app on honeycomb?

The menu buttons fade to just a shadow in certain apps. :]

http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/19/in...axy-nexus-and-ice-cream-sandwich-android-4-0/
Throughout this video there are a few occasions where the phone shits the bed a little, but the most obvious was starting at 13:50 near the end, when he opens the app drawer and then when he goes to close it, the phone chugs pretty hard and the icons are stuck on the screen for a second (in their giant, zoom-in state). For a second it looked like he launched "Car Mode" or something, then I realized what it actually was heh.
As others have noted it's an old build, so I pray things like this are fixed. I really really do
Maybe I'm missing some seconds on that video but I don't see any second of lag there. All I see is him missing the button twice and activates it on the third try with a flash of big icons for a frame or two until it's closed? Seems like more of a display bug than UI lag to me.
Unless he's activating the button on the first try and it doesn't process until the third press, that would be some huge lag.
Currently an iOS user so I don't really know what I'm supposed to be looking for.

Attachments open up in the gallery, otherwise I think it's just scaled to total width of everything, I don't recall ever panning through an email.

Guys hits home twice in succession, launcher bugs out for 1.2 seconds, and you see the icons really up close.
That's literally the lag people are talking about. It's ridiculous people are pointing that out.
unrenowned said:
I'm not sure about whether the first second or third button press was the one that registered, I was assuming it was the third. Either way the "zoom out" animation for the app drawer clearly got choked up and could only manage to show a frame or two of it before it disappeared.
Anyways I don't want to nitpick, my post was mainly to demonstrate there is some persistence of the UI lag that people were complaining about, the severity of which is hard to determine.

Yeah, the death of the physical keyboard is indeed sad. But all these new features and UI changes are a good tradeoff.

Ok so there's supposed to be a closing animation when pressing the home button. In that case I really understand the complaints.
It's basically a lack of smoothness/fluidity compared to iOS/WP7 in transitional effects?

if it's not on the Apple App Store, you don't need to download it.Jtwo said:No shit, I wonder if it actually kinda fades out towards the edges like that.

oh man, at that exact same point, I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING!!!JonnyBrad said:

yeah, that and the headphone jack... wtf guys!?sneaky77 said:
and did anyone find out if it had MHL?
Ugh you had to ask? I saw it somewhere today when they were talking about ICS updates. A quick Google search shows some GB updates for Galaxy S phones in other territories, as well as one for the TMO Galaxy S 4G here:jayb said:

They sorta had to throw everything down there to get all skinnified up top. I approve. The thickest part of this phone is the same thickness as the thinnest part of the Nexus S.
It better have MHL, I swear to Zeus if it doesnt..... I guess I won't be using MHL.
(MHL allows usb to hdmi connection)

But Windows installs off the same disc onto any hardware. I don't really get it either to be honest.Gwanatu T said:

Hrm any news on the enhanced HTML5 capabilities of the browser?
Stock browser on 2.3/3.0 is the pits for web developers.

The Browser application adds the following features to support web applications:
Updated V8 JavaScript compiler for faster performance
Plus other notable enhancements carried over from Android 3.0 are now available for handsets:
Support for fixed position elements on all pages
HTML media capture
Device orientation events
CSS 3D transformations
Ah ok, it does make you wonder how long it would take a company to bring the newest OS version to their device if they were totally dedicated rather than skinning their shit over the top. Surely that would be a selling point in itself no?Copernicus said:
Has there been any picture samples posted from the Nexus Prime yet?
It usually takes CM about four weeks to PORT over all their additions get a super stable beta out, and then like two more weaks to finalized, and they do that as a hobby.
People usually build a vanilla version of the rom within days of open source btw.
These companies should be putting this shit out alot faster, especially since they actually have access to early code.

So nothing new for the browser in the 9 months since HC's release. Fantastic.
You and me both. I've never understood that inconsistency. One of the weirder things was the last big GMail update took away the option to make the notification sounds different than whatever you have set for system notifications, so now I have no idea audibly if I'm receiving an email or a text.The Faceless Master said:

I'd say proper support for fixed-position elements is a pretty big deal. The jquery mobile team has worked their asses off to work around android's janky ass support for fixed pos elements, and it STILL sucked.
It'll make emulating native apps much easier (top + bottom toolbars). Jquery's current solution was to auto-hide fixed position elements while scrolling, and then fade them back in when scrolling stops (so they can recalculate top/bottom positions).
I'm so torn.
Opinions on what I should do?
Facts:
-I can only use AT&T (plan is up)
-I will only get a phone if it subsidized
-Currently have an Iphone 3gs
-4g isn't available in my area
-I plan to root the phone if I got android
So do I get a Galaxy S2, wait for Galaxy Nexus in hopes it's subsidized by AT&T and decent price, or get a Iphone 4s?

It isn't sad, its downright fucking stupid. Im enjoying my Droid 3 because the keyboard is fantastic... but this phone literally has the market cornered, you don't have any choice if you want a competent smartphone with a real keyboard. It boggles my mind that it has no competition.Jtwo said:
