Screen capturing & volume issues

[DieAnne]

I, like everyone, have been waiting for the nexus. I haven't gotten it yet because I wanted to see what people were saying.

I am especially concerned about the volume, some peole have said its not so good. I wear hearing aids in both ears and I am worried the nexus won't be loud enough. I'm still using the droid x with the volume set on obnoxious (by most peoples standards), but it works for me.

I was also wondering if this version (ICS) is able to do screen captures. Does anyone know?

Please and thank you.

Screen Captures - It does and real easy. Just press the volume down and the power button at the same time for about 2 seconds...... instant screenshots.

I think the volume is fine. I have a little high end hearing loss. I think it is a little less than my Droid X, but not too much. You might want to head to a Verizon Store to see a display model and try out the volume to see if it meets your needs

AWESOME!! Thank you

I have the Galaxy Nexus and the max speaker volume on mine is very weak too.  There are loads of complaints about this on the various forums.  I is definately a defect.  I'm hoping there is a software fix.  If not, I'm afraid I'll have to return it.  It's a great phone, but this serious defect in a basic function will cause many to pass on it.

From what I have read the up coming updates are suppose to address the volume issue....  At this point it seems to be a high priority so I would think a fix will be shortly...

ironically...

Both Versions of the Galaxy Nexus makes my bluetooth rediculously loud.  I have to turn it on BEFORE putting it in my ear.  As for the volume coming from the rear speaking I never bother with them with all my devices.  I like to keep what I am doing in the hush

I've only been able to execute a screen capture once, and that was more or less by accident.  Otherwise, every time I push both buttons I get one function or the other - usually the volume control.  That's a little frustrating.

Oh I so hope there is a fix in the works. I have been reading and dreaming about that phone. I can wait though. I can't use a blue tooth, but I do have an adapter for my car so that I can hear through the speakers. I wonder if the volume issue is a problem in that case....although someone did say about volume adjusting (or coming and going) during music play.

Does anyone know how the volume is when connected to external speakers?

I have no idea on that part, but it seems rather loud when using Bluetooth.  My other Android devices don't get that loud at full volume as the Nexus does at 1/2 volume.  I would assume it would be "louder" but until you actually try it then no one can really say.

I asked the question about screen captures because I had read on some tech review that the nexus could do it. I explored all the options for my droid x but could never do it. I don't have the nexus yet (and the volume issue may be a deal breaker for me, still have to get to a store to try it in person)... So I can't help with the "how".

The screen cap would be awesome though. Anybody ever read damnyouautocorrect.com? Thats the funniest website in the history of the world, ever, of all time

Funnier than peopleofwalmart.com?  I might have to check that out.

For screenshots, press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time.  When I had trouble with it, it was because I wasn't holding the two buttons in long enough.

Hmm..  Perhaps there's something wrong with my phone, then.  I've attempted well over a hundred times, and I've gotten 5 or 6 screen shots.  My timing can't be THAT bad

Peopleofwalmart is very funny, absolutely. Damnyouautocorrect will get tears rolling from laughing. I just warn you, read it in a place where you can laugh freely, unlike me who has difficulty laughing quietly (like at work).
