1) Is there a facetime feature
2) folders/ widgets?

4) overheating or its just too warm
5) plastic case good?
6) downloading apps takes long
PLEASEEE HELP IT WOULD BE NICEE :D
Cuzz I'm very confused :S
Thank Youu
A. 1) Is there a facetime feature
I think NO, facetime is an IOS application only.
2) folders/ widgets?
If you change your Launcher to others like Go Launcher you can make folders, it has widget stored.
3)Battery life is dying fast
try downloading Battery Dr. and watch your settings, ( less brightness, Turn off Bluetooth/wifi when not in use,kill running applications that are not in use too.
4) overheating or its just too warm
maybe its the battery because of many running applications.
5) plastic case good?
its good but you remove it during charging of battery.
6) downloading apps takes long
Verizon Samsung Galaxy Stellar Vs Galaxy Nexus?
Q. Okay, so this will be my first smartphone. I'm 16 years old and will be paying for the initial price (50$ for Nexus or FREE for Stellar) plus the upgrade fee ($30) and giving $10 a month to my dad for the extra data. I have money from my summer job plus I do odd jobs for extra cash. I am sorta lost on which one to buy since they both sort of seem like the same. The Nexus however is a bit more appealing due to the better camera, updated OS, and scratch-resistant screen. Please do not say "get an iPhone" as I can't afford $200+ for a phone alone. I am in need of a phone ASAP because my basic feature phone that is three years old is on its last legs. Which phone is better and why? Ten points to best answer!
PS- I will be getting bare minimum for data (I believe 1 gigabyte), do both phones have wifi, and if you use wifi instead of 4G is it free? Lol first smartphone.

A. Hey Tyde, welcome to the smartphone world! I would advise getting the Nexus for multiple reasons. First, the camera is definitely better. From what I saw on CNET, the stellar doesn't even ave a flash. While the Nexus doesn't have the top of the line camera it is at least serviceable for most uses.
Second, the nexus runs stock Android. On pretty much any android phone not named nexus, the manufacturer and carrier add other apps and "features" on top of what they get from Google. For the most part, these do not add anything fruitful and in most cases hinder the user experience. It's kind of like when you get a computer from hp or dell and you get all this software on it you never asked for or wanted.
There are great benefits to this. The biggest one is getting android updates quicker. Even the Verizon version, which is updated 8-10 weeks after the AT&T/t-mobile one, got androids newest version, 4.1 jelly bean, ahead of any other android device. Also, if you decide you want to tinker around with it down the road, a ton of developers work off of the nes and give users easy ways to root the device. However, as you are new to smartphones, I would advise agains rooting for awhile.
Finally, you asked about wifi. They both ave wifi, and yes, when you are connected to wifi, it will not be using your data. Also, connecting via wifi will also save your battery. Hope this helps!
Samsung galaxy s2 or galaxy nexus ?
Q. do you think the galaxy s2 with the ics will be better than the nexus ?
A. Design:
While both handsets are manufactured by Samsung, they have taken very different paths in terms of their appearance. On one hand we have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is somewhat larger, compared to the S II, which is to be expected with its bigger screen. However, it's interesting to note that there's almost no difference in the width of the devices. The most important difference as far as dimensions go is in the height, as the Nexus is 0.4â higher (almost 1 cm). Finally, examining the thickness of these two phones is an interesting endeavor, as the Nexus is actually thinner in its upper part, and thicker in its lower part. Love it or hate it â such is the case with the Samsung design. Overall though, the Galaxy S II definitely feels like the more compact phone of the two.

Sadly, neither the Galaxy Nexus, nor the Galaxy S II utilize any premium materials in their construction. Both are made from plastic, and have incredibly flimsy back covers. In our opinion, the Nexus has a slight edge here when it comes to build quality, but unfortunately, it's not able to separate itself much.

The screen is one of the very strong points of the new Google phone, and it should come as no surprise that it's able to trump the Galaxy S II with ease in this respect. What makes the Nexus' display so good is its HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution, which allows it to have this spectacular 316 ppi pixel density, while the Galaxy S II simply can't compete with that, due to its significantly lower 218 ppi. In terms of color quality, both are using the Super AMOLED technology, which means you'll enjoy very jolly, saturated colors, as well as deep contrast levels. Of course, the Nexus' screen is a bit bigger at 4.65â, compared to the 4.3â panel of the S II. Currently, the benefit in this isn't very big, since most apps (like games, for example) aren't optimized to hide the on-screen navigational keys and use all of those 4.65 inches, but we guess that with time developers will take advantage of this.
