I have an incredible and fascinate right here. Any questions?

I always see a lot of threads popping up, "incredible or fascinate?" so I thought I would create this thread to answer any questions. I can do whatever you guys want, compare camera quality, answer any questions. Shoot away.

Battery life?

when you done.
Sell me you Incredible...
My got stolen, then later retrieved not it's broke..

Fascinate slightly better.
Same usage, at 12PM the fascinate is at 50% and incredible is at 50-55%, but the incredible dies much faster when it goes below 50%.
I will be getting the HTC evo battery soon, so not sure how much it will improve the life.

It works, better screen because the whites are actually white and not blue, etc.
The fascinate has TERRIBLE reception...just terrible. Apparently the galaxy s phones have a very weak antenna. I got tired of it jumping from 1x to 3g all day long. My incredible holds 3-4 bars of 3g all day and I haven't even seen 1x on it yet.
Basically, the fascinate is a 3g phone without 3g speeds. With both phones sitting right next to each other, the incredible will get over 2mbps while the fascinate struggles to get 0.50mpbs

Yeah I messed with the Fascinate at my local carrier.. omfg.. the phone IMO feels like junk compared to the Dinc.
Well it was worth a shot.

haha yeah I've noticed that with a lot of samsung phones so no surprise there
They all feel like they're cheaply made

I had the Samsung Omnia 2 with the AMOLED, and that seemed to work well. It had good signal strength as I recall, and it didn't feel cheap in your hands. But the OS (Windows 6.5) wasn't so great. By the way you describe the Fascinate, it sounds like Samsung has taken a step backwards in quality.

If they're both bluetooth paired to each other, which one connects first?

Going with Incredible. Hands down better than Fascinate and more dev support with rom such as CyanongenMod

[Q] poor wifi/cellular reception

just picked up my galaxy nexus today and i've noticed that the wifi/cellular reception is much worse than my old iphone. sometimes the wifi will even cut out entirely when my iphone still has 2/3 bars of wifi.
my phone is currently running 4.0.1 on XXKK1 with build ITL41F. i've already rooted/unlocked/installed CWM recovery on it.
will upgrading to newer firmwares, kernels, or radios improve my reception? if so, which ones do you recommend?
thanks!

sadly the antenna on this phone is pretty weak. ive tried out all sorts of rom/radio/kernal configurations and nothing really helped. lots of people say there's nothing wrong with it but they are fortunate enough to live in areas where there's strong signal broadcasts. for us that don't live in such areas it sucks. i've found at least that removing the battery door and using a paper clip/insulated wire, you can help the reception slightly. ofcourse it's not a pretty sight.

It is a known...or...beginning to be a well known issue bro. The only thing to want to worry about is..whether this is a software or hardware related problem...I am on my THIRD ONE.
Same issue. Sad times in the nexus world bro

AOKP rom, Franco's Kernel, kk6 radio. Try that. Not much wrong with the reception on the nexus. It's a phone, it cannot help areas with bad signal get better...

If you are in Canada or USA flash ugkk7 radio. Or do a search and find the latest radio for your region. My wifi improved and cellular reception increased greatly. It is not quite Motorola or nokia reception but after flashing the radio I am very happy with it.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

Might be a fluke but today my gnex had 0 bars of reception and my wife's dx2 had 4 full bars. I was pretty pissed. 4.0.3 radios here. AXI0M 2.4 and Franco's nightly 10.

Never heard of the issues that Verizon (admittedly) has with their data / signal I suppose then?
The nexus doesn't have reception issues. There are some radios that are better than the rest, there are areas that have sh*t coverage, yes. There's however nothing wrong with the phone. Head to head comparison with the Atrix shows that the Nexus if anything has BETTER reception. Do some research & build your own opinion before you blindly trust a supplier's sales rep. Of course they never have issues!
P. S. I'm not trying to be a smartass. You will however be reported for being offensive next time. Not to mention that you're not supposed to write in any other language than English. Good day.
Edit: actually, do you even have the Galaxy Nexus or are you telling us about your issues with the nexus s..?

Before my Nexus, I had a Rezound for nearly a month. That thing, no matter where I was, always showed 3 - 4 bars. I never had any issues making Skype calls(data) & transfer speeds were incredibly fast(1GB in roughly 5 minutes). I am now on my 2nd Nexus and both of them had big time signal issues. I get 0 - 2 bars(will even switch to 3G regularly), Skype calls keep sounding robotic'y/cutting out(even disconnecting) and data isn't nearly as fast as before.
Don't get me wrong though, I do like the phone very much(especially the screen size) I just wish there was a fix for the signal. I've already tried out multiple rom/radio/kernal variations and nothing's helped. I've tried with 'data roaming' enabled and disabled also. If they decide to pull an Apple and release some sort of case that will improve signal strength, at this point i'm all for it.

Worth dumping LTE for this?

I've been wanting the Galaxy Nexus since the announcement but never got around to getting it. I ended up getting a GS2 Skyrocket and have fallen in love with LTE.
Do you think it's worth dumping my skyrocket for the GN? What's the current state of ROM development?

I dumped the skyrocket but I don't live in lte market. And I don't load roms. Stock gnex ics > skyrocket touchwiz

Lots of good roms. switch to verizon and get lte too. To be honest if verizon had a GSII I would think twice about my purchase. I love ICS but the camera on this phone drives me nuts. Plus I don't hate Touch Wiz.

For you, maybe. You can't make that blanket statement for everyone... And I'm sure OP is happy with AT&T (and/or locked in with a large ETF if he's got a Skyrocket).

OP asked what I think. I gave him my opinion.

If budget permits, I would say yes, go for the GN. But if I were you at a time like this, I would wait for MWC (Mobile World Congress) where Samsung is allegedly announcing the Galaxy S3 and see what they have to offer in that aspect.

I'm pretty much stuck to AT&T because I get a huge discount off my monthly bill through work
I totally forgot about the Galaxy S3.. hummm

Ummmm... Mobile Hot Spot! Verizon has yet to throttle me on 4G... I use atleast 12-15 GB's / month. That is where it pays off to have Verizon LTE and unlimited data...

Lol again, Verizon is not an option for me. I pay close to $100 a month right now for 4 lines + unlimited data on 3 lines. With Verizon, I'd be paying over $200

Honestly HSPA+ speed are good enough for me in a mobile device. I browse, stream a lot and speeds are good enough. Average around 5Mbps is good for me. Sure I will take lte if there is an option, but it's not a big deal. Finally it comes down personal choice, if you are teethering may be lte speeds are good but for normal usage no big deal.

Fair enough, but the only ones I've seen complaining about their Galaxy Nexus are the ones getting the US carrier-Nexuses. On overall GSM owners seems happier.
Which may or may not be relevant to OP, so it's worth getting out there.
---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
To OP: I don't have LTE, so I have no idea what I would be dumping, but this is my general take on the Galaxy Nexus (from another thread)
Seriously though: I think this phone is the best phone I've ever had. For those returning it, it probably wasn't.
This phone was hyped like nothing I have ever seen, and lots of people probably bought it on the wrong premises. Some people probably bought this phone thinking this would be the Android Jesus-device who would save the souls of Apple-users en-masse by its presence alone. A device which could slay iStore employees by simply taking it out of your pocket. A gadget so shiny, the sun would feel its competition. Etc.
To those people, this device probably didn't deliver. They probably returned it.
To me though this phone is a godsend. Not only is the HW pretty good, it is also 100% open. It's a device whose openness is unprecedented in other types of phones.
I can compile Android from source and flash on this device. Using open tools which I've also built from source. It's not just something I say that you "can" do. I've built the source and deployed on my phone. No hacking or closed drivers or protocols required. Why? Just because I can. It gives you a feeling of actual ownership which is hard to describe or match.
If I want to run nothing but stock but rooted, I can do that without any need to meddle deeply with the phone. In fact, if all I want is a custom recovery to do nandroid backups, I can do that without flashing or modifying the phone in any way.
How? It's easy. I can boot my phone off a boot-image (and hence recovery-image too) hosted outside the phone. I can boot my phone from code hosted outside it. No hacking required. Absolutely none.
This is what a Nexus device is all about. It's all fully open. It does what you ask it. Even if it is retarded. Even if it is singing the Hello Kitty theme song while in the bootloader. Because the device is open. It's yours. It's yours to do exactly what you want with it.
The openness of this thing is amazing. For me, there is absolutely no other phone I would consider. Others might land at some other choice and that is perfectly fine too.
People returning this phone are probably doing it because they followed internet-hype and didn't research what they were actually buying.

If you think that sounds awesome, LTE is probably worth dumping. If you think "that sounds... like something I dont care about at all", then probably not.

Had the Verizon GN. Was surprised to find that I actually had 4g where I lived. Got ~35mbps down and ~7mbps up. With mild use, was finding it difficult to get the battery to last through the day.
Returned it, bought the unlocked GSM version, popped an at&t similar in, and now my battery lasts all day with almost twice as much use and 30% left at night. Pages load at roughly the same speed. Call quality is better (maybe just where I live, but the Verizon version was always a little "glitchy").
Just my experience with LTE and the nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App

I have both phones and love both, skyrocket gives me 2 days in one charge easily, gnex only about 10-14 hours with extended battery but love stock ics.
If you already have the skyrocket then stick with it, its a great phone, if you dont have neither, get the Gnex gsm.

For now, LTE is the future. I carry a spare battery if and when needed. Battery technology will always be playing catch up.

Myth or Reality: GNex Problems

Ok, so the ongoing "on my third replacement" discussions baffle me. Personal experience is nothing but good - bought VZW GNex at launch, upgraded wife's Fascinate a few months ago to a GNex (only 1 sort of valid issue, but not worth a return), and still loving the device. [Side note - not loving Verizon's delay in rolling out JB]
Popular issues that makes folks say this phone is crap:
1. My signal is weak. Welll...check your local network, and try a signal in the open air. Problems inside your home or at work? It's called a building folks, and those wall thingies? Yeah, they tend to block radiowaves with all of that electric, water pipes, and insulation running through them. I had both Nexi side by side recently in the open air, and indeed hardware version 10 had a 6dB worse signal...until I set down my version 9 GNex, and moving the v.10 device 1 inch to the right suddenly shot the signal to a BETTER dB reading than the v.09. AIRWAVES - they move, and phones sitting side by side may have a different dB value simply because of AIRWAVES.
2. I can't hold a 4G signal. Check the threads and the Google issue trackers - it's regional, which implies that it's Verizon's issue, not the phone's.
3. Phone randomly reboots. Valid issue, but software related that was corrected with 4.0.4.
4. Screen has a purple tint. Somewhat valid (only complaint about wife's GNex), however appears software driven as increasing brightness to maximum cures the issue.
5. "I'm suddenly having [name the issue] problems. Oh by the way, I just flashed a custom ROM, didn't follow any directions on the XDA threads, and really didn't know what the heck I was doing." That's not a phone problem, that's a YOU problem.
5 examples, none actually related to bad hardware. The GNex is the best device I've ever owned and is a reliable performer. What many should do is lower their expectations - the Nexus is not the "perfect solution", but a Google Experience Device that gives the user the experience that Google intended without a bunch of manufacturer skins and carrier bloat ware. For those 2 reasons, the Galaxy Nexus is spectacular.

Phones are massed produced. There are bound to be some bad eggs. No device is 100% perfect. I get the frustration as its a pricey piece of equipment, but this is the harsh reality of things. I've had this phone for a week and I absolutely love it. Hell, my Nexus S was a bad egg and I'm glad I'm not using it anymore. And I have also noticed a lot of these network issues only seem to crop up with the CDMA versions.

#4 seems to be the fault of amoled screens. Had it on the 1st gen sgs at low brightness levels too.

I have not experienced any of those issues with my Verizon nexus. Although I'm rooted and am not running stock.

Wifi signal reception is really bad in Nexus?

Hi,
I have a weak Wifi signal here. And we have some gadgets here (few ipads, laptop, galaxy S3 and my Nexus).
All of them work really great except my Nexus Nexus doesn't catch Wifi signal almost at all.
I even installed Fraco kernel and enabled Wi_Fi PM FAST which claims to boost Wifi Signal.
Can anybody confirm that Wifi doesn't work in Nexus so well as it works in other electronic devices.
I can confirm that because I can compare with other devices at this moment.

According to some people here on XDA, such as in this thread, you have a defective unit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107843
However, in the real world where people actually tell the truth, the fact of the matter is that the Galaxy Nexus has a weaker Wifi signal than other smartphones, and you just have to deal with it. I myself have noticed that the Gnex gets the weakest signal out of any phone that has connected to my router, and we're not the only people who have mentioned the Gnex and its weaker Wifi signal.

My g'nex gets decent signal. Right now I have my Zune HD, Galaxy S 4G, PSP, nexus 7, and g'nex connected to a weak WiFi signal and my nexus devices are the only 2 that are loading web pages and such smoothly without random pauses, PSP is close behind, Galaxy is iffy, Zune is basically useless. My iPod touch 3G (which isn't with me at this moment) is also useless on this connection due to constantly losing connection, ps3 also drops connection periodically, laptop works smoothly.
So while I don't doubt there are some phones with better WiFi connectivity, the WiFi isn't bad on my g'nex.

I can second that.
WiFi is not bad. It is decent on my gnex too. I've never had a problem to connect to any network so far. No big difference between nexus and other phones in areas with strong signal. It's actually even better than on my old HTC phones. However as I posted in different thread in areas with very weak signal I noticed that my old galaxy S2 and especially moto droid razr performed slightly better. (one signalbar that made a difference.) Nothing dramatic.

With my current setup I can get about 100 meters away at least, with one wall in between.
