How's the Nexus since mid April? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I had the Nexus back in April, and I got the razr back after trade after trade, and I can get another Nexus. Anyways had it improved? I had probably 8 hours of battery if I was lucky, 2-2.5 hours screen on. I was running gummy 1.2.0 and Franco m2. I miss the screen a lot, but I like the the thinnest of the razr, but I'd rather have the Nexus screen.

The one thing that I feel comfortable talking about is battery life (I've had my Gnex for 2+ weeks), but I get usually about 16 hours of battery life, with 3.5 hours of scree on time.
Coming from the Evo family of phones, I'm delighted with that.
Btw, this is a completely stock, unrooted phone.

You misunderstood. I said "trade after trade I got a RAZR" I traded my Nexus for a ps3 ($200) mw3 ($50) and the elite subscription ($50) and a HTC rezound ($250) I thought that was a pretty good deal, took it traded it for a Droid 4 traded that for a razr, now I can trade the razr for another Nexus.

Oh, well. It's still an amazing phone. New kernels and new ROMs makes the user experience buttery smooth and fast.
Can't beat tablet mode, by the way.

I might screw around with the tablet mode, but I don't think I'd like it, I absolutely hate landscape, unless I'm watching a video.

No worries, the UI has portrait and landscape capabilities.
But tablet mode isn't the only reason to get the Nexus. Being the first to get future updates is also a big reason for me.

I just got the nexus two days ago but I've been lurking for a month and a half. I'm running AOKP but PA has gotten huge. Franco is solid. Haven't read anything about gummy in awhile...maybe if I can get Paranoid flashed I'll update this post.

I am very happy with this phone

Today being Christmas I am thankful for this smartphone. Yeah there is always something better coming around the corner, but not to be greedy lets be happy with this awesome device.
Being rooted with a great ROM and cool ICS theme this phone is warp speed fast, with great battery life, and looks so damn cool.
Even compared to my buddies new Nexus, I honestly like this phone a bit better, for numerous reasons.
Merry Christmas

The thing I am so amazed at, is how far Android has come along in such a short time.
My first Android was the MyTouch 3G, which was very clunky and choppy, and just a couple years later I am holding this awesome Galaxy SII with 4.5" AMOLED screen that is razor thin and very lightweight.
Wow Android has come a long long way compared to those first year devices.

Definitely a great phone. Cant wait for what the future of android and the galaxy line holds. But a family member had his Nexus and I feel so much better. I already knew it was not worth jumping through hoops to get. But now I have no jealousy at all. Only things it has is ICS in pure form. It also feels a bit more solid.

My brother recently got an iPhone 4S and I got to play with it for a bit, and it made me really appreciate the GS2 that I have so much more. It's an amazing phone and I'm perfectly happy with the phone I have, finally.
I'm very happy with this phone. I haven't even rooted it yet and I'm not sure I have a reason to. Yet? lol
My only gripe is the slipperyness of the back cover. I have a case on order so I hope that will help it.

Just pre-ordered mine $199 + $50 google wallet credit so $150 total not bad. The EVO has a bigger screen but the sealed battery is a deal breaker. I hate the TWiz stuff so I don't think the SGS3 will be too much better, if at all. It will have a better Camera I'm sure.
Nah... I'll have to pass. I always wanted a Nexus device, but this one is just way too inferior for me to invest in. I'll definitely wait for the SG3 when that comes out.

I was just about the post the $50 credit for Google Wallet. I wonder if Sprint will allow me to push an early upgrade out of it? I may just have to buy it from someone else with my E4GT and some cash, but overall, I really want it. lol
So my line with the e4gt is ready for a upgrade and my wife line that she said I can have her upgrade will be ready in august. So I'm thinking about trading my e4gt for the nexus due to more rom support, then use my wife upgrade for the sg3.
Don't know what to do!
im getting one too!!! using my girls upgrade to her the evo one, and gonna buy a sgs3 at launch

The good ol' hand me downs. If you're really that adamant on getting the SGS3, you may aswel hold out for it, so you're not stuck with a phone for 2 years. There will be another phone in the next year you'll want, and you'll be out of upgrades if you use them both this year.

i dont know if you're joking, trolling, or stupid. sgs3 will be better than the nexus in every aspect. seriously, touchwiz means nothing because it can be removed anyways, and the stock rom can be replaced with AOSP too.

I miss my Galaxy Nexus :(

So I had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean and today I sold my nexus and bought the SIII. I never realized how much software matters over hardware! Sure the SIII has more ram and a slightly better camera but I will tell you while I miss my nexus!!!!!
1. Stock OS - I hate the fact why on my SIII I cant organize my apps into other app folders. I feel like I am running android 2.4 and not 4.04!
2. Jelly Bean- I love project butter (even though the Siii is still smooth) and I way prefer googles voice assistant alot more
3. Build- I think I am one of the few that prefer the the size and material of the nexus. Even though the nexus is close in size, I still feel the
S3 is just too big. Not to mention I prefer the rubberized feel on the nexus.
4. On screen menu keys. Just have not got used to the S3 and dont know if I ever will.
5. Ability to swap roms. Being that verizon has a locked bootloader on the S3 and there are no working Jelly bean roms, I feel by the time
Verizon upgrades to Jelly Bean I will be counting down the days till the Galaxy Nexus 4 comes out!!!!
*****Thinking about selling my S3, but dont want to waste an upgrade on a new phone so just may give it to family and buy my nexus back***
Bottom line.... I miss my nexus
That's why I did not buy it

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
even though you can slap a cyanogen onto a non-nexus device, it will took longer than on nexus. On Nexus, Google update new version, the longest you have to wait is one week before a build is surfacing. But nowadays our dev are super so it only took few hours lolz, and with pretty much everything working most importantly.
With non-nexus, NO~~ it took ages to wait for this driver, that source code wtf wtf bla bla bla~~ I've been there with SGS2 and One X, regretted my choice. and you cant enjoy the true feeling of AOSP too. you'll notice you need TW or Sense for a better hardware experience like the camera, etc etc.
oh as asdfasd2 said, yes i agree. Samsung does sucks with their source codes. CM was long enough on SGS2 and still, after they release the codes, devs are having headaches fixing what were supposed to be fixed. Luckily Nexus S and Gnexus are handled by Google, not them.
i must confess i was feeling a little tempted myself but ever since the nexus 7 release i cant take the damn table off my mind just waiting a couple of weeks to see if a nexus 10 is gonna be release but i cant wait a lo more

G-NEX coming soon!

I just order a new galaxy nexus from Verizon and should have it Wednesday. I have a Droid 3 right now and compared to the G-NEX, there is an over flow of roms, mods, kernels, tutorials and so on for the nexus.
What I am getting at is, where do you all believe I should begin, as far as roms and kernels?
Thanks for all the input.

Your experience with the Nexus will be amazing. BUT it'll be even better once you flash Android 4.1.1 jelly bean, that's a promise.

Its an amazing phone. Recommended. It feels so good in your hand , the curve makes it a sexy phone.If coming from a phone with menu buttons you'll be HOW DO I USE THIS BABY!?. but you'll get used to it, in 1 day you'll be used to the Soft keys. Best part is ... CUSTOMIZABLE SOFT KEYS!!! WOOOOOO!!!
I recommend Team Bamf. Its stable and fast and nice. but if you are a person that doesn't care about bugs and just cares about the amount of features I recommend a Nightly. They aren't buggy but may have a few quirks here and there. Jellybro is the best CM10 rom out there in my opinion.
Don't be a dumbsh*t like me and hold the phone upside down the first time you get it.

really? it gets that good of battery life completely stock?dang but yea definitely look at reviews and specs and you should be able to figure out which one you want. Also the Nexus 4 is built by lg.

Yeah I know.... But the lg Optimus g has some killer specs. And on the other side, the nexus 4 is pure 4.2 android and also has some great specs.

Yup its this great on stock unrooted. I really havent had a reason to root yet and Samsung actually nailed it with the stock touchwiz launcher and the features and s-pen is really great but battery was the big thing that made me jump on to this phone I really got tired of carrying my charger or extra batteries around to me its just stupid and if your going on a trip there's a 8500mah battery witg a nice looking door that doesn't make the phone look to bulky lol one person showed a pic there in the forums getting like 3 to almost 4 days without charging.

Another vote for the GNII from a previous E4GT owner, even though it's not being considered by OP. Have fun getting updates from LG if you decide to go with the Optimus G.

yea I thought about getting the note 2 but its a little to big. that's why I want the GS3. but between the nexus and optimus I would go with nexus for pure 4.2 and I assume it has a big support community.
Thought the bootloader on the Opt G is locked...?
Anyhow, whichever you decide - can I make a suggestion?
I'm in support of the idea of getting Agat another E4GT for kernel work.
If you're willing to that would be IMHO a great use for the phone.
(Assuming you're not handing it down to someone else, of course...)
I would go for the nexus 4 just for stock android. And lte doesn't matter for me because I get around 13mbps down here
