I read someplace (no idea of the validity) that with Samsung devices running TouchWiz that a lot of the freezing can be attributed to the way Samsung did the file system. It isn't standard and therefor can cause problems.

Now, phone freezing in general can be attributed to the cache in many cases. Clearing out the cache on your apps and with some phones the call log as well can speed things up a bit. Sounds contrary to what you would imagine, but it works on plenty of the older phones.

The Nexus should not have the file system that other Samsung devices have had. I think they even changed that for the SGS2 as well.

My Droid Charge is running a ROM (GummyCharged) with the ext4 fs, so I had hoped that the reboots would go away. No such luck. I have noticed that when I use my phone for games, most of the memory get used up and it is more prone to freezing. No games=less freezes.

I really hope since google is in charge of the software for this phone, I won't be nearly annoyed be the freezing. Anyone here had the Nexus one or S. I wonder how those phones did with freezing?

She was jerking your chain. She was asked 20 times about the phone but tells you she did not know what you were talking about.

Probably some sales rep trying to get her phone time up.

I saw that too but wasn't sure if it was just me reading it wrong due to day-quil induced haze or not.

Here's a funny one for you guys. I called Verizon today for something and brought up the Gnex. Not only did she not know what i was talking about. she asked me for a few websites so she could go look at it. I had to give here the specs!!!!!!!

The funny part is, she said "WOW, i'm saving my upgrade for that phone now. I was going to get the 4S".

She loved it.
She also said i was the 20th person to ask her about that phone today.

How had she not heard of it yet if 20 people had asked her about it :rolleyes:

So you called up Verizon, and convinced a CSR rep to buy a phone? Nice

I'm sure it will. There are other factors as well but ICS is definitely the most important. Thank you too!
 
Alright guys I just went and picked up a razr. I know I know I gave in to the temptation. I'm sorry! I was surprised they have literally hundreds at my local wal-mart :eek:. It's really sturdy and smooth, and the rep gave me a free warranty. The battery life is decent and the boot time is practically instantaneous. I attached a picture for you guys...

Now that I got it though I dont understand what all the hype was about :confused:. Stupid tech geeks...

corny joke I know

My first black friday experience was at a best buy with my dad about 8 years ago. It was crazy, the store was brand new and I guess no one knew how to do a black friday sale, it was a disaster. I think over a dozen people were arrested due to a fight as there were no lines cordoned off, and a bunch of people came up about 10 minutes before the store opened and stood in front of the doors clearly intending to cut, while the line wrapped around the building. store ended up opening 20 minutes late, because the manager refused to open the doors to subject his employees to the melee outside.

There is usually a fight that would break out every year at the one I worked at. I remember my first one the best 2 guys wanted an all in one printer/scanner that was on sale and they got in a big fist fight over it. While they where fighting some old lady walked over grabbed it out of their cart and went on her way they didn't even notice to busy fighting. I usually drive around Thursday night look at all the people waiting in the cold for the Black Friday events at various stores. Then I go home fall asleep and wake up around 5am and go hunting. Screw going to the stores that is crazy.

Another one of you? Seem to be a lot in this thread.

I did black friday once - that was it. Now I look at the lines on tv and laugh at them. IF I go out that day it's not till later in the afternoon when the people who are truly bat-sh*t crazy have gone home.

(and I see you're in South Dakota - I've only ever wanted to go there for one reason - Wall Drug :o - Sorry - had to mention it)
 
So I was reading some post about the RAZR and thought to myself what do we do more of in here? Talk about how much we hate the things Verizon does or Talk about/bash the RAZR? Thoughts?

Edit:Not that it's a bad thing just funny... it passes the time i guess.
 
at this point i think we can take all the information into account and determine that we(at least not this particular time) place all of the blame on verizon, as it certainly seems to me that sammy and google and botching this launch big time

Yes, the Charge has an RFS file system vs EXT4 in other android phones.

I would like to see confirmation that this has changed with the GNex.
Click to expand...

Samsung ditched RFS file system from any phone coming with Gingerbread, Nexus S, SGSII and Stratosphere. I believe Charge is the last one that came with RFS and wonder if the imminent GB update will change that. You can rest assured 100% that GNex is not on RFS.
 
I don't do Black Friday. I will happily pay normal prices to avoid demonstrations of all that's ugly in humanity. I honestly wouldn't care if they gave out money, I'd still avoid it.

If the only way to get a GNex is a Black Friday thing, I'll wait until they get more in stock later.

I'm right behind you in that thinking. If it's online ordering starting that day then fine. Otherwise I'll wait. 'People suck' is pretty apropos for Black Friday.

My wife and mother in law go, I always feel sorry for anyone who trys to mess with them, they dont take stupid behavior sitting down. I also wonder which year I will need to bail them out for getting in a fight themselves, haha.

A hot reboot is a reboot of only the graphical shell -- its much faster than actually rebooting the device.

Root app for that is here (or built into some ROMs): Hot Reboot | AppBrain Android Market

And I just pull the battery to keep the phone running smooth -- probably a placebo, but hey to each their own.
Click to expand...

I know this is veering towards even more off topic but when I do a normal reboot or a hot reboot it doesn't seem to be much of a difference. Is that due to ROM build?
