Mine can't even normally play Angry Birds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z_PcEW8Jxs

U complained that ur phone was choppy when u hard booted it and now with angry birds. U need to take ur phone back! I've been playing r-type non-stop and it has no lag or choppiness and that game has more active things on screen at once more then angry birds, it plays so beautifully on this phone!

I haven't tried angry birds yet, but my home button is laggy like that... I haven't hard reset the phone though...

I just tried Angry Birds and it seems to play well. It doesn't have the zip at the beginning of a stage like the other phone had in your example, but it feels normal to me.
The home button "lag" is present on mine but that feels normal as well.
Is anyone using another launcher? Is the lag present with the home button? I'm still using touchwiz.

I'm using Launcher Pro and that is really fast. Still a little lag when opening apps like Gmail and stuff like that but getting around the phone is still really fast. And opening the gallery is really fast too.
Try Launcher pro its fast! Plus you can still use the samsung widgets.
Hope this helps!

Same here I'm running adw ex and I experience virtually no lag

Stock launcher with no lag and angry birds plays fine.

I think this guy works for Apple and is just trying to sabotage sales! Lol.
....

I think most are trolls. I play angry birds fine. I hope people know because it's a different processor they automatically look for problems. The exynos processor is only excels in its gpu department. My rooted my touch 4g on miui doesn't even lag. Launcher pro hasn't been updated since gingerbread causing lag of app drawer and when accessing apps. The reason why home button lags is because samsung set so many combinations for the home button. It was most likely programmed bad.

Bingo! That's why I sold my iPhone 4 last year and bought myTouch 4g... This is what we Apple spies do. We also get ****ed over flawless G2X phones that have no lag and play Angry Birds just fine. And than we wait for October 10th to pre-order an amazing Galaxy S II just for one simple reason: sabotage it!

This is my second phone. The first one was a bit less laggy but was heavily affected by vertical lines. I'm not sure if I want to play this game (think G2X).

I think if you do go in to exchange it again explain the situation and then in store test it out for lag. Better yet if you know anyone that has the phone without this issue bring them along to have backup proof. It shouldn't lag like that, I'm testing out Rio just for you right now and it's smooth and flawless. Is there a way to check the processor speed (actual)? Because I have noticed worse battery life than a lot of other users, maybe it's running at a higher clock speed (or the actual rated one) and yours isn't? I know this sounds crazy but maybe it would be worth it to just check... I'm just trying to help you out

As I mentioned earlier TMo is great at exchanging new phones: no questions asked. It'not about that.

Well I tried angry birds and it's super zippy... MUCH faster than my Desire ever was ; )
After doing some looking it seems the home button lag is due to the phone waiting a bit for a double-tap on the home key to start the voice command app.... so it's working as intended.

I'm still wondering why out of all three carriers this particular version was inside of a plexiglass box during their presentation at the end of August...

Extremely happy with my Galaxy Nexus

Coming from a HTC Sensation here.. Was a bit worried with some of the initial previews and complaints, but damn I'm happy with my GN!
Major pros from my perspective:
- Absolutely stunning screen.
- ICS is the bomb. No need for a Sense-like skin to get a fantastic user experience.
- Pleased with battery life (ALOT better than my sensation)
- Software buttons IMHO are perfect. Not wasting space for HW buttons with basically less functionality. Have to admit tho that when I bad flash the framework I'm a bit crippled but this is a minor disadvantage imo.
- Awesome development already! Even tho ICS is in early release status.
- No crappy/broken & late sourcecode releases
Just a small cry of happiness. Nothing major in this topic. :d

Sweet!

I'm very happy with my GNex as well. Coming from a fascinate it's like having my phone but more solidly built, with 4G, and full google support. I'm really pretty impressed that verizion got 4G out here to my little town and got this phone for us. I'm way more impressed with all the good devs out there that are working on this phone.
I know it's going to be a run ride!

I just wanna say that I'm extremely pleased with my Verizon branded galaxy nexus, I know the battery life is crap, I know the launch was all screwed up, I know it has those vertical lines that everyone seems to Really notice, I know it has a two dollar plastic backing that They feels cheap, I see that it doesn't say Google on the back but verizon 4g lte, I realize that my update my come a week or two later after verizon approves it, I see that the camera is five megs and not eight like everyone else..... Tell me something I don't know.
I love this Phone. Best thus far. Its a benchmark device. No phone that I've seen has these very responsive buttons on the bottom. Love em!! Hey, they just work. Ain't that what they say about their product? Screen makes you wanna google something, don't it? Mostly everything is integrated into the software design of the phone. I understand the problems we are experiencing but cmon, no device is without this or that. Besides it will be fixed very shortly. Patience!! Best phone out. Benchmark Android.!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I couldn't be happier with this phone. I don't see any vertical banding,the phone is very snappy and responsive (then again I had an OG droid and a droid eris). The only issue I have yet to have is maybe not so great LTE connectivity, but the guy at Verizon told me it wasn't too great in this area yet and should leave it in CDMA mode unless I am near philly. When I did get a 4g signal it was great, but not a full signal. I got downloads of 18mbps, 13 mbps, 10mbps and the lowest being 6mbps in no order and at different times and places. The camera take AMAZING pictures outside and with great light, however it becomes slow(blurry) and grainy in low light (this makes sense). The first brand new phone I bought was the first Storm blackberry that actually served me well until it killed itself. What I liked about the storm, or blackberries in general, is how the received email. Neither of my droids did this so well, I would get old mail notifications, it would double up on mail, and mail would come in late to the phone even if I had it to receive every 15mins or less. This phone, however, is great! I receive everything promptly.
In addition, I just got the extended battery... I know its not a lot but it helps. Also, as reported by other users, it makes the phone much nicer to feel in your hand. The added weight and curvature of the backing makes it fit really nice. Since I use the phone quite a bit, i was hoping the battery will help it last through the day (I am not expecting this phone to last me days) but so far it has been much better than my OG droid has been to me. The large screen may eat battery but its hard not to look at .
I am glad many other people seem to like it after listening to a lot of complaints that seem to be largely unfounded anecdotal evidence or from bloated demo phones in stores that probably have had 10 programs open all day at once. (I will agree though that the phone can get hot, but I don't think to the point that I couldn't hold it anymore... just sweaty palms.)
PSS: also, lag??? what lag?

I'm happy as well. However, I came from an OG Droid and almost anything is a step up from that.
I did mess with the Samsung Galaxy S II, Droid RAZR, and a few other high end phones, but the feel of the Galaxy Nexus takes the cake in my opinion.

really love your review. Hope I will be as happy with mine. I am coming from the D1, and I loved it a lot, rooted with GB. I got my GN yesterday, but waiting until Christmas to open it. Gift from the wife, and have to keep her happy. I am making her wait to open her new White, 64gig 3g iPad2
Question: have you got any updates yet? Have read of several problems, one being a bug in the signal strength, and something about the rocker volume.
How is your reception so far. I know that depends on a lot and if you even have 4g. I live in the Washington DC area, so pretty good 4g here. I will report back when I have spend time with my GN. Can't wait!!!
BTW, Verizon has pretty good reviews there. Thanks for sharing, and glad you love yours Thanks!

Add me to the pile of happy customers. I can't seem to put it down and that is what's killing my battery. If I use it under normal circumstances, I expect it will last long enough. I ordered a secondary battery to carry with me for a quick swap.
ICS is very refined in comparison to previous releases. Only feature I miss from HTC Sense is the ability to merge contacts from multiple places (Corporate Email, Facebook, Twitter) into one entry per person. Google Wallet rocks, if only it supported my credit cards.
Viva GNex!

For understanding the Signal Strength I recommend Anandtech's Investigation as a starting point. That being said, I have no complaints about signal strength but I did have an issue with the phone not routing data. It occurred on both Wifi and 4G. Had to reboot the phone to fix it. It showed a signal during the problem.

I was also looking at the Droid RAZR but got the GN instead. glad I did

I'm also extremely happy with my Nexus. Came from a Droid Charge(actually a rent-a-Rezound),and this phone feels like it's in a league of its own. It's super smooth, has an amazing development community, amazing screen, and an amazing OS. Did I mention it's amazing?

Really thinking about getting a Nexus but...

I currently have a g2x still, however it is driving me insane lately. It really chaps my arse paying so much each month for a phone that is just so buggy. My biggest gripe although not huge to alot of people is the gps on the thing. It SUCKS. always has. Anyway that is my question, How is the gps on the nexus. I used to use navigation quite a bit on my phone but since the g2x sucks I can't really use it. I'm sorry if there are many posts about it but I'm on vacation and my internet time is very limited. (wife and kids are napping. lol) Thanks for any advise guys.

GPS works fine.

Not the best but still works awesome. No complaints.
butter and jelly please...

My wife literally locks on within 5 seconds, even when I'm in my house heading out. It was much faster for sure than my G2 (previous phone).

GPS on GN is excelent

The GPS hardware on the GN is really accurate, my complaint is with the way it handles phone calls when you are using navigation. When a call comes in the phone app jumps to the foreground, when the phone call ends the phone app stays up. To add insult to injury the screen then goes blank. I've gone back to my Garmin.

GNEX gps is lightning.
Out of the box it was quicker than any i had used before.
After installing AOKP and radio xxla2 i can lock on to 7-10 satellites (normally 8or9) in well under 10 sec's.
I believe it is a European radio, but I live in New Zealand and was recently in Thailand which locked on to 7/8 satellites in under 10 sec's
I have now installed the JB radio with the same results but a better phone signal.

Thanks for the responses guys. It kinda irks me to buy a phone add old as the nexus... But it's a great deal IMO, and I really need something. This G2x is driving me crazy.

The hardware is oldish and has lower specs than some phones now....
But probably the fist phone to receive 4.1 + 4.1.1
The support for the phone is fantastic and the dev's here at xda are non-stop adding features,stability and speed.
Tools, Roms, Kernels, Radios.... will be developed on this phone first.
Outta the box a good phone, the guys at xda make it a f#%*$n great phone.

I just got mine a month ago. My requirements were AMOLED and 720p screen, and the Nexus is still my choice if I were to buy one now. The only time I'll be feeling the need to upgrade again is when they release a phone with an AMOLED 720p using the RGB sub pixel layout. In the Nexus line anyways, I can't be on the update backburner now after being first in line.
processor/gpu, meh, it's a touchscreen only phone, I don't use it for high end gaming. Otherwise all the high end phones perform pretty damn similar the rest of the time, regardless whether it's quad or dual core.

Ordered it this morning. Now I'll play the waiting game.

With the WiFi issue, he probably had the Sprint Optimizer thing turned on, so it kept trying to use WiFi based on his location. Unless there is a real issue out there, anyone have this problem?

After typing this I realized I did a play-by-play of his review
Is the main complaint he has about this phone really a complaint? I mean he bought the phone knowing that there's no 4G LTE in his area, so how can it be a complaint if he knew this from the get-go? I bought this phone knowing that there isn't 4G LTE in my area so I, for one, don't complain about it.
I also like the build of the phone, I will agree though it does feel slick at times, like it will slip out of your hands like a wet soap bar! I too put a rubberized case on my phone to give it some more grip.
I agree with BWFBezerk, it's not a WiFI bug it's (ah hem, to say it like Apple).. it's a feature... this feature can be turned off without a problem, I disabled it on my phone...
12 to 15 hours battery life with heavy use, SWEET! I don't know what is considered heavy or light use, I use my phone about the whole time I'm at work from 8-5 and when I come home my battery is at 75%, I'm running Sonic FreeS3 0.1.1 and I must admit the battery life is insanely great.. I'm guessing his is stock ROM... I thought he said the battery life is definite "NO" not "GO" haha, my bad
SuperAMOLED is, in my opinion, the best screen ever... this is why I continue to get Samsung phones... from the Samsung Moment, to the Samsung Galaxy S II and now the Samsung Galaxy S III
As far as the speakers go, man I wish we had a front facing speaker for when viewing videos on the phone..
His case is sweet looking, my case has a kickstand on it too and it allows me to prop it up landscape and portrait
I'll have to agree with him, I really like the TouchWiz on this phone too... even thought I have a custom ROM on it, I only have that ROM on because it keeps the phone as stock as possible. One thing I didn't like about the stock TouchWiz though is the fact that the quicksetting automatically scrolled to the right.
Use the power button to get the recently used apps? Did he miss identify the button?
You know that 2 is more than 1, man I like this guy, he's doing a great review... I like how it's raw and uncut... real world as he says... no LINPack and all that...
I might have to hack my home button, I never use S-Voice anyway..
Direct Call is a definite GO!
Tap to Top, thanks for the explanation!
I can never get my screenshot to work swiping my palm from right to left, I can only get it to work from left to right... haha
I use Task Manager daily
This is a really good review, thanks for posting the link!

He has all the iPhones, I don't know if he'll review the iPhone 5. He said it's still too small for him. He only reviews phones he buys himself. Nobody sending the phones to him to review or anything. Check out the review he did for the iPhone 4s. There's 3 parts to that video.

Those getting the new M919 Batches (5/16 & 5/20)

Are you guys experiencing the same issues as release week~ units? or have custom roms eliminated the issue...?
Its $679 for 2 yr Snap 600 or same price for Exynos5 on newegg at the moment...so, choices! I received a broken note 2 and have gone through hell & back again with tmo to put a GS4 Replacement EIP up with remorse because they botched up the first order for the GS4 EIP Replacement so badly.
I doubt there will be many people here with the 5/16 Batch since there werent so many to begin with since it went right into backorder again to point they're shipping as received with no real date anymore.

What issues are you referring to?

If you go into QA & Help and in general theres a multitude of issues many people are experiencing...

Well I've had mine since the 30th, and I think I'm like most in saying I've experienced no real issues. An update came out within a week that improved performance among other things. Every phone as bad copies, and it's luck of the draw if you do get a bad one. Fact is, people are 100x more likely to leave a review of something is wrong verses everything being OK. So I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Nor do I think they've changed their production setup. If anything because of continued global demand, production line employees/suppliers may be under more pressure now and likely to make oversights.

what issues bro ?

i'm getting one from the 5/16 batch. going through exchange via buyers remorse. ordered yesterday morning and will be here monday. my brother got a release day (online) phone and his is perfect. it's become the norm for me to usually have to exchange the first phone...

whats wrong with yours if I may ask.

Lol ... paranoid people find issues in all batches. Have zero issues from the device bought on launch day.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

I was one of the few (many) that got the phone from the original batch on launch day and had problems with the wifi. After much research, attempting every "fix" I could find and my own trial-and-error I determined that it had to be a power-related hardware fault within the Broadcom chip so I sent the phone to Samsung. They either couldn't fix it or didn't even try because they've shipped me a new phone. Hopefully it'll be from the newer batches - I'll know Tuesday and will update with results!

I dipped my entire phone into glitter then pissed on it. And it still works flawlessly.

...

I got my device on launch as well, so far the only thing that has been bugging me is the lag due to getting the T-Mobile My Account app keeps FC'ing. I'm thinking if I should root the phone and get rid of a few stuff or just flash a new rom altogether. Still waiting on when the Google S4 will come into play. I still have time until the Google version comes out that I can return my phone =)

Had mine for less than one week and i have not experience any issues.... no problematic lag or heating... not sure what else was "real" issue?? i am running the new OTA update as well.. so that might have "fixed" some of these problems.
could be a case of a few (maybe very few) phones causing lots of "noise" (problems being reported) ... just my 2cents

the wife had the same issue - i uninstalled the "my account" updates from inside the play store - and then there was no upgrades the next time i went into the play store. works much better with the "factory version"

I have the dlink wifi issue. I tried running a linksys router to one of the dlink port which worked but I have to turn bluetooth off. Really odd. I'm getting another one tomorrow so I'll post if the new batch is any better.

These issues people! Smearing, overheating, lag, wifi, lte connectivity. I won't say all the first batch have these issues, but some of them.

Smearing is for sure in all s4s at the moment. Not 1 s4 I have seen that doesn't smear.
