Giving up on nexus

Tried two and that's when I knew I better get out now before my 15 days was over. I must say , the galaxy nexus was the coolest phone I've ever used. Ics is amazing as is the beautiful screen on the nexus.
The dropped calls, bad battery life, below average camera, missed calls, texts that never were, pitiful LTE reception, and defective screen are all a few of the problems I couldn't live with anymore.

Bummer. Good luck with your next phone.

The poorly executed Verizon LTE model of this phone is really giving it a bad name.

Sorry to hear you have had such a bad experience. I just got mine today and am very impressed with ICS and the display of the phone. I turned off 4G right away as I would rather save on battery life.

Sounds like you got a bad batch of the GN.

Welcome to the HTC rezound and the best ics experience to date. We have incredible reception on LTE.. awesome batttery life, and the screen has a higher pixel density than the nexus could ever hope to achieve.
You will be in heaven, welcome

100%. Oh what's that...you are not going to use the phone we all have? Thanks for sharing.....
As for everyone else...9 Android devices in a year...not because I am unhappy with them but because I LOVE phones and new technology. My only gripes are how annoying MTP is and the lack of an SD card slot. A kick stand could be cool, but overall.....10/10.
I'm not a fanboy, I just feel like fro the first time in a long time I got exactly what I paid for. No issues here at all.

I would love to see stats comparing failure rates, scratched screens and bugs between the GSM and LTE version. Going on Reddit, XDA and a few other sources the LTE device seems to be far more problematic.

I was going to write a longer reply to this thread, but I'm to busy posting in forums for phones I don't own.

I just don't understand the point (if there is any) of threads like this one. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but what do they expect out of these threads? Do they think people will notice or even care that they didn't stick with a phone or whatever it may be? No offense OP, I just can't understand these threads.

That may be true, but theres clearly an overall higher count of LTE users on XDA here. The international crowd (and US importers) are the minority of the "general user" type conversing here.

My screen has "grain" and the mini popping speaker sound. Plus no warranty and this is still the best Android phone to date IMO

Yea, I'm sure OP would appreciate the 5 minute battery life, the small lcd screen, and of course the amazing Scorpion chip that is based on 3 year old architecture

My screen had "grain" when I got it, and what looked to be burn in, but those have gone now, and have to say screen is almost perfect.
As for Rezound... I will personally, never use an LCD again unless they stop making LED screens.

Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.
However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?
I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.
The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.
And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).

Ya, the 3 corners + a round one looks conceptualike. (Notta word)
The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?
FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.

I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8

When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.

Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

Nah, it didn't cost that much time though. Just went on that server to socialize here and there, you'll attain some resources over time and then you try to build with it. As you see, everything is built with very cheap materials like sand and wood.
You just need a plan on what you want to build, and if you have the idea and don't need to remove or rebuild parts, a giant building will be finished in 2 hours.

I fear that is the case already. I am not seeing a lot of movement on the 4.4 ROMs out there, the threads are not that active, and it appears that hardware (GPU) is blocking real progress in allowing 4.4 to be stable on the GNex. I rolled back to CM 10.1.3 which has been rock-stable with good battery life and strong signal for now, and am under contract until June before I can upgrade without penalty.

Point taken, but my comment wasn't about patience, it was about volume. The traffic just appears to be less than in the heady days of JB, for instance. Fewer posts IMHO means more people moving to other devices. I hope I'm wrong!

While KitKat is said to be able to run on lower-spec devices, this doesn't mean every phone ever made will begin to receive updates, nexus or otherwise. Will the HTC Hero receive KitKat? What about the Evo 4G? It has 512mb ram, and should run it just fine. This update was created to get rid of Gingerbread from the entry level devices being sold in developing countries.
