One thing to keep in mind is that when you unlock your bootloader everything is wiped so if you gonna install custom roms go ahead and do it before you have anything set up

Its a nexus brotha what else can we say.... pure sexyness.
G Nexus

Pick up the extended battery if its still on sale for $25, well worth the money.

The best phone I have ever used....and I've had a boatload. My only complaint is that the ringer volume is low (at least on mine). My recommendation is that you unlock the boot loader first thing and root + install wifi tether. Very nice.

Overall, the best phone I've worked with. Doesn't benchmark like my old Epic Touch 4G but the Nexus has not slowed down once for me and the real life, real world performance is top notch.
Honestly, I like this better than the GS2. I wish the stock camera app was better but there is a new app called Camera ICS+ that adds many of the missing features back. Still waiting on wide screen pictures but very nice.
This is a great device and it's only getting better.

Well thanks everybody for the comments, I honestly can't wait to get it and play with some roms and kernels.

+1 for Camera ICS. I've been able to take some great quality shots.

You're just in time for aokp m3! Make sure you do a nandroid backup. I see a lot of people who have bad boot loops.

Strike my earlier complaint re the volume on the nexus, apparently the new 4.04 update addresses this issue.

Ohh **** hey man. Glad to see an old epic 4g user here loved your midnight roms. Will you be developing for this bad boy. To op. Best phone ever. Just got mine 2 days ago (came from nexus s 4g) and I love this phone so much.

Same here. If only the ext speaker was a bit louder! Trying the Galaxy Nexus makes it hard for anyone to go back to anything else, regardless of the cons.
1 complaint: speaker volume.
1 wish: Micro-HDMI instead of MHL.
1 WTF?!: No Micro-SD slot.

I've been an android user for 3 years now and never have I been this satisfied with a device. It is everything I have ever wanted from a phone.
Besides 'it's a NEXUS!' . That should sum it up.

And waiting for the 4.0.4 update to achieve perfection.

It's the best phone on the market but still not that good.

Stock ics working great

Well after a week in pain i got it to work....the freezing stopped after i selected only allow 4 processes at once in developer settings...and uninstalled all the bloat to give me 100mb free rom space
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Why not start from scratch, instead of limiting your phone?

Stock is REALLY good, when comparing to stock roms of other phones. But after I decided to try AOKP (the latest one, it's come a long way), it makes stock look so slow and sluggish. Don't limit yourself. For a stock rom it is very impressive, but compared to other stuff it's not that great.

I did start from scratch...and it doesn't limit...i don't see any difference at all except i now have 200mb free ram instead of 50mb...there's a lot running in the background and this helps...all my apps still work flawlessly and so do my sync accounts...

I really don't want to root this phone because I either plan to exchange it back to T-mobile or sell it. Mostly exchange it because display has been acting very strange.
Only disappointing thing is no LED Notifications. Honestly I notice battery life improved since I updated to ICS could be just the notifications not wasting the battery.

Rooting makes the phone worth more and if you are upgrading then it don't matter...only for warranty and you can easily unroot it if you want

Rooting for others

Lately I've had a few people ask me to root their phones for them. I am not sure if I want to do this or not, it seems there is a lot of liability involved when hacking on a phone that isn't mine. On the other hand these people are offering $$$ for the service, so I guess I am just looking for opinions.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I'd say its cool, your providing a service that they can't do themselves and is realitively safe as long as you know what your doing. Just know that if anything goes wrong with the phone regardless if it has to do with you rooting it, that they'll most likely come back to you with the expectation you have to fix it. Just my opinion.

This is exactly why I won't root friends phones..IMO rooting is easy enough. If someone can't bother to or can't figure out how to root, chances are they will encounter problems down the line which will inevitably be your problems.

Yup. You'll be married to it every time the phone hiccups.

How is the Note II doing?

Planning to upgrade to it in about a month. Are there any issues? Like my Infuse had the silent GPS unit recall and that screwed a lot of people. Any issues yet?

None.
Everything works great!

I came from the infuse, and in comparison the note is unreal.
Hard to believe, but there really is no problems.

Only problem i have is people randomly coming up to me interviewing me about my huge phone

I'm totally pleased with my note. I haven't even felt the need to root it, it's that good out of the box.
The only gripe I have is with the stock keyboard not auto-correcting. It has predictions line swift key has, but auto-correction sucks. The only reason this is an issue is because the stock keyboard is the only one that has handwriting recognition, which is really awesome to have on this phone.
If I'm missing something here regarding the stock keyboard, please let me know, because I'd really love to be able to use handwriting without having to switch keyboards back and forth.

Great so far. Loving it more than my SGS3. I was ready to throw my SGS3 against the wall because I couldnt get the battery to last more than 12 hours. My GN2 lasts 24+ with moderate usage.
Went from iPhone 4 to SGS3 now to the GN2 and loving it. Got the GN2 instead of upgrading my current Nexus 7 to the 3G Nexus 7.

Yeah, I was never a fan of the swiping. But the auto correction works decently if you swipe it out. It's a learning curve for me too. I'm getting better and after just a day I'm about as accurate as I am with the keyboard I was using before. What finally got me to really try was the multi view. Having the keyboard pop up and float makes it much easier than taking up the whole bottom of the screen. Plus I love that number row.
I would like to see an option to enable the auto correct, though.
I keep forgetting how big this phone is. It still catches me off guard when people say it's big, it really doesn't feel big anymore.

Hii,, i'm going to upgrade to N2 also but i'm worry about my app data as I'm using titanium backup app and it's great but i think it's working only with rooted device and i don't wont to root the N2,,
So dose titanium back work with it without root i any one can try it for me.... and if not there it any other app which can transfer app data??

Titanium backup won't work without root. There are some app backup programs that don't need root, but none of them will backup the data. At least none I have found. Why don't you want to root the phone?

Rooting doesn't void your warranty. You can flash back to stock and with triangle away there is no lasting indication you did anything. I don't think there is any real chance of brick from rooting. I haven't seen someone bring a Samsung for a while that wasn't caused by user error flashing something meant for another device. I have seen HTC deny claims due to unlocked Bootloader, but only when dealt with direct, AT&T hasn't been. And I have never seen a report of Samsung denying warranty for something like that.

I heard rooting does void warranty and triangle away does remove flash count but your status in settings is labeled modified instead of normal. Prolly have to re flash.

If you reflash the stock ROM bad then use the USB Jig or triangle away, it will show your phone as completely stock. If you keep it rooted with custom ROM you're definitely gonna be labeled as "customized"

Best phone I've ever owned, couldn't be happier. Upgraded to this from the Galaxy S3, and I see a MAJOR boost in performance and battery life. Highly recommend.

Fantastic phone without a doubt! Every ROM I have tried has been superfast.
My only gripe with the phone (and I didn't notice it at first) is that the plastic back makes all kids of clicking/squeeking type noises. Plastic does that. The back feels very cheap made. I have a replacement back coming tomorrow that is made from aluminum. This will make the device feel so much more solid. I will lose a bit of signal strength, but I can't stand the cheap clicking lol.

So tired of this.

How many of you were trying to use your rooted stock galaxy s3, and when you were using it, it froze, resulting in a battery pull? I am sick of this. Either after writing a long post, message, or status and it freezes and losing it all, or just now, when I was downloading the MOAR ROM (800 mb), it took an hour and thirty mins, and then at 94% it froze. I returned a galaxy s3 STOCK NOT ROOTED for this same problem, and got another and it still does it. How many of you have the same problem? This is one of the few reasons I wish I havent gotten this phone. Do not get me wrong, I love this phone and all its features, but there are these few tiny things that make me really mad that is does it, that makes me regret it too.

My phone froze once. I've had it for 9 months. I'd start looking at things like a badly written app or an issue with the SD card if I were you. BTW, you should be able to force a reboot by just holding the power button for 10 seconds.

My first one over heated bad. Take it to sprint and they can fix it. Helped me. It was my first big smartphone and I thought it was normal.
Sent From My Rooted, S-OFF'd Blackberry Curve using the iOS XDA Application for Android.

Have never once had this problem on my GS3. Day one purchase too. Sorry to hear that.
I've had freezes due to custom kernel overclocking and undervolt testing, but once I found the right settings, I haven't had a single freeze...and it's been months.
Phone has ran its longest at 2 weeks 3 days 16 hours.

Never had this problem. Rooted since 2nd week in July.

No issues here either; rooted and blue-tified not long after getting it 6/21.

My first phone I had was a dud. The screen would flicker and freeze up. The only way it would fix itself was a battery pull. But it would start doing the same thing within a few minutes. I got my replacement and haven't had problems since. Maybe it's possible you got another dud? There worse thing that can happen is you get another bad phone, or you get a good one. If you'd get another bad one you could just see if they'll let you upgrade to a new phone early. Have a buddy who just that same thing, not with a s3 though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Overheating means one of two things.
1. You phone is in an extremely marginal signal location and keeps switching between cells. Lots of radio activity at full power will heat up the phone.
2. An app is using lots of CPU power and/or data and may be "running away".
You should be able to get some clues on this by looking at battery stats to see what's using the most power.

I always thought it was something I did, but I took my first one in and it froze and heated up, now this one just freezes. I don't wanna take the 2nd one in because that is just extra work for sprint and I can deal with it. If my computer worked or I could download the moar rom (or any for that matter) without it freezing or restarting the download I wouldn't have this problem. Oh well. Nothing I can't deal with. Heck, it is a great phone.!

Hard to tell. Perhaps someone here knows a diagnostic to tell which app freezes the phone.
But it's most likely something that runs as a service (under Settings/Apps/Running), probably something you yourself installed. I'd start there first. If you have a quick and reliable way to determine if it will lock up (like running some stress test, maybe a benchmark), perhaps you could "freeze" some of those apps in Titanium Backup and find out which app is responsible.
