Develop Bugs

Thinking about getting one.

What's you honest opinion? Is it getting CM9? Should I get the Galaxy S2?

had mine for about 2 weeks and it is a love hate. love the screen, hate the battery. love the possibility (development/ics), hate the current reality.
my wife got skyrocket and comparing the two, nitro screen wins hands down! clear crisp and realistic colors. sgs2sr is much smoother software wise and battery is what you qould expect, full day with lite use. nitro get 8 hours lite use.
after a few days i was ready to switch to skyrocket... but i am going to hang with it. the negatives are not great enough to give up this screen. plus skyrocket does not feel as good in the hand.
that probably doesnt help much... if you can go look at both.

No one knows yet as it is still waiting for the CWM to be built, if you feel you can wait for the custom ROMs, CWM etc then get one if you wish, or if you need something right away then the SGSII is the other road to travel. There are several posts about your question, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390399

I needed a new phone after my Atrix 4G bluetooth/wifi chip broke down. The real choices were really iPhone 4S, Skyrocket, HTC Vivid and LG Nitro. One look at iPhone screen and it was out. It almost seems like a kid toy. I had Skyrocket for a week and I returned for few reasons. I read a lot and the screen was washed out in comparison to the original S2 that my wife has. I have a little kid and I take a lot of pics. Skyrocket camera always produced pics that were a little out of focus. The third strike was that Skyrocket audio produced a lot of hissing through the headphones. Fourth, I was not so convinced that xda scene would embrace Skyrocket like they did with the European ver of S2. This phone was released in the US 6 months too late. Vivid was out just simply it felt like holding a soap box. Now Nitro HD. Screen for reading is simply amazing. After rooting, hard reset, GO Launcher I can get to the performance and look I need. I like how the phone is feels in my hand. The battery is a problem and I would not chose this phone if I was still travelling too much but with a combination of a spare battery and a car charger I focus more on enjoying the phone without busting a sweat. The baterry life still seems better than EVO 4G. If you need to stick with this phone for the next two years I would wait for something like 4.5 inch 720p quad core Tegra 3, 2 gb RAM, LTE, 2.2f dual flash 12mp marvel that will come out closer to the mid year. If you need a phone for 6-9 months this phone will hold you over just fine. Just dont expect a lot of mods. If this phone will get a support it will be closer to the level of Atrix.

Lastly Skyrocket doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Nitro HD does.

Cool. I've read horrible reviews about the battery. How has it been for you? The different between the 2 screens doesn't bother me.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I have been getting about 12 hours with moderate use now. The battery has improved over the course of first 2 weeks of owner ship with repeated charges. I am talking about LTE, GPS, BT on all the time. When I say moderate probably 30 min calls, 20 sms, 1 hour of screen time browsing and stuff.
This is honestly the best phone I have used. Screen is a beauty. Everything just works. I used GPS on a recent west coast trip which involved at least 5 hours of GPS use. It was dead on. I can lock in the middle of a grocery store. Unfortunately the battery life isn't great. I rate it as mediocre. When I expect to be out for a long time, I switch to my Inspire 4G.
Also there is a stigma associated with LG brand.
The dev support is to be determined. Good thing is that this is a flagship model and there are different international versions available to broaden the hopes of more international dev support.
If you were to pick between the current AT&T LTE lineup, I would definitely recommend Nitro HD. I think if you wait another month or so, the Samsung Galaxy Note or the Sony's rumored 720p phone may get released. Again just speculations.

I agree this is probably the fastest GPS lock that I have ever seen.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this device to anyone looking for a flagship smartphone. Maybe not ideal for the road warrior running around searching for an LTE signal with the screen on playing an HD game but that is more about the battery than the phone.
And unfortunately, any leading-edge phone like this is going to have battery issues simply because battery tech has not kept up with the blistering pace these devices are moving forward. Now if these devices ran on petrol, WOW!
it's going to be a few years before batteries catch up to these devices. So it will be much much worse with the new quad-core smartphones that are poised on the horizon.

With a very heavy use, screen on 100%, browsing, LTE about 4.5 hours.

Sorry, but ouch....good luck with that.

Wait! The galaxy note is coming..... The phone of many dreams lol. Its 5.3in of pure samoled goodness ahhh. I would get this too but the note has everything.... Including a booming development. Wish this phone luck, its a great one. Use your one month trade in for that! It is way better then that skyrocket.

We don't know when it's coming, could be March, could be April, maybe even later.
Edit: Just to add...Yeah, the Note is a beast of a device, but it's going to be released around the same time the new quad core device(s) are released. So that's something to think about as well.

Too big...
I'm sticking with my Nitro. Since bringing it back from the dead, I've grown quite attached

Yes to clairify... I would highly recommend this device, especially over skyrocket. Put the two screens side by side and you will be 100% sold! After watching 720p movies/anime I am so in love with this screen. LTE is incredible too. Yesterday I was getting 14Mbps up AND down! I have hit 20s and 30s consistently.
A little laggy, yes. Battery hog, hell yes. My hope is both of those are addressed by ICS and/or the XDA Dev community !
And yes, the battery life does sucks! Worst I have ever seen since I ran Android from my SD card on my HD2. Charger at desk and charger in car is required - or one of those portable chargers... something cuz you will not make it thru the day.

Actually as oppose to original gs2, skyrocket is unable to play mkv smoothly. There is a lot of threads about that in the divx forum.
Nitro HD on the other hand handles them very well through the stock player.

What he said.
Only downpoint i can see is: not gorilla glass (prone to scratches), bluetooth a little buggy. Which is very minor points in the overall picture.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

I'd give it an 8.5
Definitely the best phone I've had so far but..
Screen does indeed scratch rather easily
Lack of SD card let it down a little too I think ( only 16GB version available in my area)
Signal on the phone not great compared to others
My GF has a new SG3 and she can get signal on hers in places where I have none ...
Other than that all good

His next thread will be rate your favorite rom and why
good day.

9-/10
Nexus being released at the end of last year should rather have quad core and better gfx hardware. Plus it could be even better if the softkeys had their own dedicated screen space so we could enjoy the whole 1280x720.
But the design of the phone plus the ui smoothness wins for me.

There is only one niggle I've had with the phone that I haven't been able to fix with a hack or app, that's the storage space. But I don't use my device for music and I can handle only having a handful 720p episodes of whatever I'm watching at the time.
I've had more fun with hacks ROMs and kernels on this phone than any other I've owned, and I can't say I'd swap it for anything newer. I may well be a Nexus convert.

Yes, I have installed several tactical nukes, chain guns, and an RPG on it.

For me it's either 8.5 or 9 out of 10. I'm on Verizon and have no issues. It's incredibly smooth and the UI and general aesthetics are futuristic and sleek. Only thing that ever makes me somewhat sad is that I absolutely love 4g, but 3+ hours of screen time and 16 hrs standby is max for this phone for me (even with the 2100 extended battery). So that's my only beef, which is quite a small one since it still lasts me the whole day on a single charge (barely though...).

10/10 for me. this phone does everything I need, and it does it very very well. perfect in my eyes.

For me it's 10/10....because of the updates, customization and the variety of ROMs to choose from...and the screen, oh it's just gorgeous!!!!
All my friends uses high end smartphones, and believe me all of those envy my phone just because of it's sexy look and eye catching display...and to add more of their envy, it's gonna get 4.1 Jelly Bean in a month's time, while my friend using Galaxy R is still stuck on Gingerbread...lol!!!!

I have 4 Android smartphones, and the Galaxy Nexus is by far the best.
The HD screen looks great to me, and the phone is fast, works well, and I have had no problems.
I have 2 extended batteries with a wall charger, so virtually no downtime, a rugged case, if I drop it, and there is great community support with lots of roms and kernels to choose from.
Some of the other new phones look great, especially their screens, but they don't seem to have as much community support as the Galaxy Nexus.

Finally a phone that gets it right

I bought the Epic 4G on launch day about two years ago. At the time I was unaware of the huge quality control issues that phones (even highly hyped ones) often encounter. After two years of dealing with that POS, instead of telling you where that phone went wrong, I'm here to tell you what the Galaxy S3 does right:
- Great in-hand feel. Also feels great against my face during phone calls.
- GPS actually works!
- Battery life is great, even with 4G LTE turned on.
- No wakelock problems. The awake time graph matches the screen-on graph perfectly.
- Browsing the Internet is a joy due to the large hires screen.
I've also switched from Sprint to AT&T and couldn't be happier. Even though I've lost unlimited data, I can't help but feel that it was Sprint that was ripping me off with modem-level speeds.
So yeah, thrilled with the phone so far!

Hmm, I bought the Epic 4G the day after launch, and I loved it. I had CyanogenMod 9 on it, and I had no issues. I hated to give up the keyboard, but I am a techie, and needed the upgrade.
Don't get me wrong, the GS3 is much better, but the Epic 4G was a great phone as well.

I think at least some of my issues stemmed from the unit itself, but there are other problems that have been widely confirmed (horrible GPS, poor reception). CM9 is the only reason I was able to hold onto my sanity while using that phone. It was the only ROM that caused my Epic to behave predictably. Many thanks to the CM team, can't wait to see what they can do with this one.

Ok phone not stellar wish it had 4.5 inch screen thus screen feels a little to big to use one handed. But happy with phone otherwise.

Look into a product called "Flygrip". Makes one-handed phone operation a breeze. Can also double as a kickstand. I intend to get one!

I too love that this phone seems to handle Android properly in the regard that there aren't random wakelocks everywhere.
My old Droid 2 Global, regardless of ROM, and with a virtually identical app configuration would get lots of random wakelocks.

I had the original Epic 4G, then purchased the Epic Touch and now switched to Verizon and purchased the GSIII but I loved every phone. I actually at times miss my Epic Touch , mostly due to having a easier platform for modification (verizon sucks for locking the bootloader) but otherwise the GS3 is definitely the best of the 3 so far and I am sure in due time the bootloader will be cracked,

How awful is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus experience?

When I went to leave early from to Verizon from sprint in early december (long story not my choice) I was coming from a nexus s. So in my mind it was like no brainer, Galaxy nexus. Went into Best Buy mobile told them I wanted a Galaxy Nexus, they gave me ****. "It's not reliable, we always have returns, it's overrated, not worth the money, we'd have to backorder it, look at something else." These are people I know on a first name basis who I'm comfortable with so they wouldn't shaft me. I told them I wanted it because custom software and freedom excites me. Long story short I ended up with a RAZR M. Great phone I love it amazing build and formfactor. But it's like dating a girl who's slightly younger the more I'm with it the more little flaws I see. Virtually no dev support, no google wallet even sideloading, small internal memory ( 8 gigs). So it always leaves me wondering; I know the verizon GNEX is botched, but is it bad enough to pass on and look elsewhere? Share your opinion.

I love my nexus I've never had issues with it since i bought it last February. Just recently i had issues with the screen. Took it to best buy mobile they ordered me a new one and i got a good phone again. No issues at all. I don't know what people keep saying its a bad phone cuz its not.

Agreed, it is a good phone and I too don't understand what everyone keeps whining about. If people really hate the phone that much then just shutup and get something else. But personally the only thing I've noticed is that it doesn't get as good of a signal as my friends do who have Motorola phones. Other than that I really have no complaints.

I love mine too. Last August had to get a new a few days later due a signal issue, but after that its the best android I've had. What bugs me is the lack of info from Verizon and Samsung about software. Both are quit like clams

Now, Verizon is always gonna be a Verizon. They are gonna do the same stuff no matter what phone you have ( slow updates, tiered plans, no customer loyalty, uninhibited greed....the usual stuff)
But this is a solid phone. The dev community is strong. No complaints here!

Like everyone says, it's an awesome phone. You'll fall in love customizing it. Only thing about the CDMA version is that the battery life is terrible. 1-1.5 screen time and roughly 10-12 hours of life. I'm a moderate user.

I've had the galaxy nexus for about 3 months now. My previous phones were the HTC G1, the thunderbolt and the rezound. As far as the android experience goes this is the best phone I've had. As far as a "phone" goes this is the worst phone I had. Sometimes I lose signal but the phones shows full bars and reports a good signal. I can't make or receive calls or get internet. I thought the solution was to have it on 3g only but even though its more reliable as a phone it still loses signal without any warning. And that is a bit dangerous. From researching I am not the only one, and some people say they have to go thru 6 to get 1 good one. I bought mine on eBay so that's not an option for me. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it or get a different phone.
BTW I have flashed multiple combination of radios, kernels, and ROMs. No dice.

I've been very happy with my VZW Gnex. In fact, I have now owned it longer than any other phone before, and that includes my OG droid.
I am unhappy with Verizon themselves tho, and will be leaving when my contract expires in a few weeks.

I made the move from Sprint to VZW in August 2012, and this is the first and only phone I've had since being on the network. Additionally, this is the first phone I've had since the old WinMo days that I haven't had an incessant itch to switch to something new. I even got my flashing addiction down to 1x/month on average!
Good phone, good network, good experience thus far.

I get lots of reception issues with this phone. It isn't about bars or anything. It often disappoints even running Speedtest,net app. My XOOM has LTE also but gets significantly faster download and upload speeds. The 4.1.2 update makes it smoother, but it's performance as a phone is pretty weak. My Droid 1 is the best experience I've had with a smartphone. The Droid 2 was OK but had too much crap on it. This is a significant interface and capability improvement over those phones but it's performance is so lackluster, I might have been better off with another LTE model.
The clean stock experience is nice but I'd rather have it perform better as a phone. My husband's Galaxy Nexus acts the same way. It's not a bad phone if you can get it cheap.

Personally, I love it. I wouldn't be on Verizon if they didn't have a Nexus. Battery life on any LTE devices sucks. I took care of it with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C8XRJY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

Just chiming in here.... I'm kinda new to the GNexus on Verizon... As you see my daily driver is still the razr maxx... And I'm comparing the two... Motorola bugs me so much. If it wasn't for the 24hr battery life is would easily jump ship. I just rooted the nexus, put Google wallet on it and can't wait to go to McDonalds to buy a cup of coffee lol.. But I had the incD before and loved roming.. I still do but I hate locked boot loader and low dev. Community.

Its not a bad phone at all. Most people's biggest gripe is that its not a "true nexus device" because updates have to go through Verizon first and don't come directly from Google.

I've had the toro / VzW Galaxy Nexus since it was first released by Verizon -- must be about 13 or 14 months now. A bit flakey on initial release, but updates came quickly, and since I unlocked and rooted I've tried several ROMs. Overall - it's been the best phone I've used since buying my first cell phone about 21 years ago. Sure, there are a few points I'd like to see improved, but that doesn't stop this being a spectacular device overall. Since using ROMs like XenonHD, Codename Android and Nexus Evolution, the phone has been generally spectacular, with my only annoyance being battery life. For the past year I sported a 2000 mah OEM "extended" battery, but as GNex owners know, these don't go that far. I finally opted for a 3800 mah battery from Hyperion a couple of days ago, along with a couple of matching cases that I can switch between -- a one piece TPU case, and a Seidio convert combo. With a full charge, battery life is excellent now -- I've been on battery for about 10 hours today with 2 hours screen time so far, and still have 70% left -- and this should improve after I've fully cycled the battery a few times. At this point - the phone is immaculate, looks like new, works beautifully and is just about 100% customizable with a big selection of ROMs, mods and themes. All in all, this is a fantastic phone.

The phone itself is great as long as you get one without any of the hardware flaws. The battery life is sub-par, especially compared to the GSM version, but if you can keep a charger nearby it lasts well enough you don't really have too much to worry about.
Verizon is really the only problem I have with it. They really treat their customers like trash. Their prices are astronomical and they want to figure out how to charge more. Flagrant anti-consumerism with the blocking Google Wallet because it competes with ISIS. The big kicker is that their coverage isn't really much better than others these days. Blahblah I could ramble on all day about why I'm leaving VZW when my contract is up, I'll shut up now.

Sounds like a mixed bag so far. But the positives outway the negatives. I like my Razr M alot, but I do miss nexus customization a lot. I feel like if Verizon weren't so ridiculous with their policies I wouldn't be as bothered by my choice. Hardware wise I'm liking the RAZR m a bit more but the software freedom is a bit of a letdown. Having Stock is a plus though. I was set if it wasn't a nexus it would be flashable or stock.O yea, and as far as I'm concerned LTE is nullified and a big marketing ploy as long as caps are around.

If the salemen you spoke to aren't related to you by blood, then they lied to you. Aren't you curious why you ended up with a Razr as opposed to the well supported GNex? It's not a coincidence that every corporate Verizon store has a dedicated Razr section. They are pushing for sales of Razrs, because they have better control over their software. You won't find any Verizon bloatware on a Gnex (b/c Google won't allow it), thus they lose on advertising and endorsement dollars.
Personally, I've had a pleasant experience with my Verizon GNex. Sure, I don't get phenomenal battery life, but I still have access to a charger throughout most of my day (as most people would). Reception could be improved, but I don't have high expectations when it comes to Samsung's radio hardware. The camera though... isn't something I would show off. And you can't beat the dev scene; this phone will be up to date even when the next Nexus comes out.

Is everyone with problems using the 16gb?

I bought a 32gb Nexus 7 (flo) from a guy off Kijiji 2 days ago. Honesty i was worried this tablet was a piece of ****, based on all the issues people are having.
-my gps has tested working perfectly
-battery life is great
-have yet to have a single reboot or freeze
-was a breeze to unlock and root
-sound is perfect
I am actually shocked at how well this thing performs overall. Guess i should be thankful based on all the posts about problems...

16 gig here working perfect.

I had a 16 GB. It appeared to have major touch screen issues (middle third of the screen wasn't responding). After 4 factory resets and some resting time, that issue seemed to have disappeared. It had no dead pixels. I didn't mess with gps. I probably didn't have it long enough to experience reboot issues. I actually ended up believing it was a pretty good one (first run d60, June). I returned it because it just wasn't that much better than my original N7.

Yeah, agree with you on the "not a big difference between the two". My brothers N7 from last year is pretty damn simaler performance wise. But, for a budget tab, i haven't seen anything better. Was torn between this and the Note 8.0... Still am as i got hooked on the s-pen lol.
In all reality however, i dont recall seeing a thread with so many "something doesn't work" posts in a long time...

If I didn't already have the original, I would be very happy with the flo model. VERY HAPPY! just didn't see $245. (Tax) worth difference.

Nope, have to agree with you on that. As well i dont remember (might be wrong) the power and volume buttons being so awkwardly positioned on the original. These things are hard to hit... But i ordered this case yesterday, hopefully it will guide the fingers a bit better.

The buttons. Yes, very difficult for me to use on the flo model because, like the original, they are tucked "around the bend," but they do not extend out much at all--and are quite soft. Others may prefer the new type, though.

I got mine from a guy on Craig list. I was nervous but I got it brand new and saved $50. Jesus was on my said because so far no problems I never had a tablet before I'm most impressed on battery life )

I bought a 32gb Nexus 7 (flo) from a guy off Kijiji 2 days ago. Honesty i was worried this tablet was a piece of ****, based on all the issues people are having.
-my gps has tested working perfectly
-battery life is great
-have yet to have a single reboot or freeze
-was a breeze to unlock and root
-sound is perfect
I am actually shocked at how well this thing performs overall. Guess i should be thankful based on all the posts about problems...

I have a 16GB that has some of the touch (not registering when grounded issues) and multitouch (when crossing axis) issues. Both are very minor, and less apparent when the screen protector is removed (which might be for good once I find a case I like).
But I did try a 32GB at two different stores, and two different build months (06/2013 and 07/2013) and both had the issues. On all models I have tested the issues is there, you just have to be precise in testing for it (test on different surfaces, with and without screen protector, etc).
So either the issue is extremely widespread, or I have incredibly bad luck
Keeping the 16GB for now because it was actually the best of the three.

No issues at all with my 16g

I got a damn near perfect 16gb.
>^.^< Sent from meow HTC One which is like catnip to me atm

16 GB here, got it 2 days before the 'official' launch from Walmart, it's a 0585 model.
Wife also has a 16GB model that we got from Walmart a few days ago.. 0585 model as well, and her experience mirrors mine.
Quick rundown of issue people are claiming:
1.) Zero Light bleed. None, zero, zilch... in fact, this is my first tablet where I have zero light bleed issues.. impressed so far.
2.) Zero GPS issues. Before some tool comes in and claims I'm not using it enough: I drove to Colorado (Eagle Area) from St Louis and back using it as navigation, via Waze. When I was on location, I used Google earth to track my location off the main paths, and used Google maps to find the hotel and a couple of restaurants while we were out there. So if you're going to claim I'm not using it enough to experience the GPS issues, please inform me how you've used yours over 2000 miles over multiple states, and programs... Only time GPS dropped out, is through the tunnels in the mountains. (Sorry for the slight rant, getting sick of some people claiming every one of these units has a problem, and when people show theirs is working fine.. they're told they're not using it enough to see the issues)
3.) Zero Screen color issues. As a photographer, color and the appearance of my photos are important. The screen color accuracy is pretty spot on, with a very slight hint on the warm side.
4.) Zero Multitouch issues... aside from when you put 10 fingers on the display.. and then the problem is that there's not enough space to accurately use 10 fingers
5.) Wifi - On par with my laptop's 6200 series for signal strength... no weirdness.
6.) Bluetooth - Aside from the quirky issues 4.3 has with *some* BT devices in general, this unit seems to perform as well as any other BT device I have.
7.) Reboots - Truth is, I've seen this once, and so has my wife. (Just once per device) On mine, I was using Living Social to see if we had any local deals to where we were at, and after scrolling the app for a few mins, the device rebooted. Since I've only seen this happen one time, I'm chalking it up to a software/app issue. The wife's happened while we were on location in Colorado.. we were reviewing a few shots on both tablets, and she had her tablet sort of wedged into a standing up (landscape) position in the car.. she claims the unit rebooted on her, but the uptime on the unit states otherwise... I suspect the screen turned off, and she assumed it rebooted.
8.) Battery - Wife's has been on battery for 4 days now (fairly idle since we got back) and is showing approximately 68% available. She's still getting notifications, and has used it to listen to music around the house.. so I don't think this is entirely accurate for idle battery life I've gotten roughly 18 hours of 'active' use out of mine (off and on, obviously) running about 30-50% brightness. As you crank the brightness on this little sucker up, the battery life does suffer. Have ran mine completely dead a few times.. not because of the battery life, really.. but because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to plug it in (even if I'm sitting right next to an outlet) half the time.
9.) Uptime - Lotta people are claiming theirs reboots an awful lot... Can't speak for that here...as of this second, I'm at 81:34:52, mainly due to my previously mentioned problem of being too lazy to charge it
So... to answer the original post question..... Nope.. no problems with 2x 16GB, heavily used, units here.
