The way we think about our nexus

When a new phone comes we all wonder, man the new htc is what I want and it has better camera, and the gps is amazing and SIRI wannabe, quad core exynos and 1080p super amoled +(this would be too much lol) ... I just want you guys to remember the we live in the best years of our lives and we don't appreciate it sometimes

Now I can say for myself that I still think galaxy nexus is the best phone in the market even tho s voice and quad core is coming out, I don't really needed and I think I won't use it(had Siri for 6 months and didn't use it much ) and I hope this help for people that always think about the next big thing.

You're right... we do live in the best years of our lives.... but its also made us too reliant on technology and a bunch of spoiled brats...
I was around for all those things he spoke of in the Video and can relate... but I guess everything is relative to every generation... Each one more spoiled then the previous.
Guess in 30 years when our cars fly themselves this generation would be like "Damn, we used to drive, uphill, bothways, on a paved road!"
Lol

Lol. This was great.

Louis is amazing, thanks for the post lol
but yeah, people expect so much and are quick to dismiss something great based off one thing they aren't attracted to... kind of sad but that's the way the world works now, its only the few that can appreciate something's significance and the rest just complain that it isn't good enough.
We gotta hand it to the 2nd group of people though, the ones who are never happy are the ones innovating and providing the rest of us with cooler things although I believe everyone should appreciate everything regardless

Great video, I have so many people I must show it to.
It also makes me feel great about just ordering a GNexus and not feeling bad about missing out on the SIII.

I stopped into the att store today and played around with the one x they had in there. Man it was beautiful in white and in grey. The fit and finish is amazing and the screen is gorgeous... looks a bit better than my GSM nexus and the look of the device was nicer as well. Too bad the rest of the experience let me down. I don't know if it was sense or what but it wasn't nearly as snappy. I know its got more muscle but it hangs in spots for some reason and browsing on it sucked! What's the point in all that beauty and horsepower when the function of the phone doesn't respond in kind? I'd love for the next nexus to be a bit more pretty in design but this thing just works. The major failure in android so far is that manufacturer customization so far has mostly detracted from the function of the phone compared to stock. The galaxy nexus, in GSM form at least is still the high bar other android phones need to measure against. I love this phone. For that, I don't think I'll have a real choice in the future between a nexus and any others. Unless a non nexus gets true stock android there will probably be something letting it down. I think the one x or others could be as good or better overall than this phone if they had just included some phone specific apps to differenciate and left everything else stock and unlocked.
Before anyone says to just put on cm or other aosp on those other devices, unless they are unlocked and have drivers available, they tend to have things missing or unstable when going stock android.

It hit me the other day that I've actually had this phone for almost half a year. It still feels brand new to me, and I marvel at how fresh it still feels with minimal maintenance.
My GS1, Desire HD, and Focus never quite ticked all the boxes, and I had to jump through hoops to get them to operate how I wanted then to. My one and only wish is for the next Nexus to be Note-sized (I pretty much only read books on my phone now). That's not happening, so I'm as pleased with the Nexus as I'll ever be with a phone.

People buy these new phones with the intention of rooting and running a vanilla rom. We have it right outta the box. No limitations. Galaxy nexus is sonning all other phones. Screw hardware. That software...ftw

iphone 4 to GNex?

Hi Guys,
Kind of getting sick of the iphone 4 and ios now, want to go back to android . The last android phone I had was a nexus s.
What do you guys think, should I sell on my ip4 and go for the galaxy nexus or another decent android phone?
Really tempted to get a One X, but bad battery life talk puts me off :/
So what do you think? worth the move from ip4 to Gnex?? (or should I wait for ip5) lool.
thanks

eww apple crap got nothing to offer... there's many options out there... Nexus its good phone I'd only change it for the next Nexus.. nothing compares to getting the last os the next minute Google releases it...
like I said.. gnote/sgs3/sgs2/nexus/htcox all good phones... they all need some work but that's why xda its here for us..

Was moving from my 4S to the nexus today but my device has horrible banding issues so its back to the 4S for the moment.

I had an iPhone 4(okay phone, iOS is just to stagnant for me), then went to a droid charge(terrible phone). I am now on the galaxy nexus and it has been the best experience.
I would say go for it!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The Nexus is easily comparable to the iPhone, I choose to use both (iPhone 4s for personal, and a GNex for work), and I find myself using the Nexus more for music, and games than the iPhone.
It's a good upgrade, but you should find a phone that works for what YOU need it for.

The only thing I envy about the iPhone 4S is build quality.
I wish Samsung and Google somehow came up with a metal and glass design that is unique and different from crapple's iPhone.
But at LEAST the Nexus doesn't shatter into a million pieces when dropped just once.

My last phone was a iPhone4 its a kids phone easy to pick up and use.
Best thing i ever did changing for a Gnex. Apple is over priced and boring
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I love my Gnex. Compared to the Iphone 4, its way lighter and i love the curved front. I just wish it had gorilla glass as I've heard the screen is really susceptible to cracking with only minor drops.

anyone think why I should stay wth the 4? lol just for arguments sake. ...? Its not too late with getting the nexus is it? with the new nexus's to be released end of this year...

Not too late but if you want iPhone opinions i recommend staying out of the Gnex xda forums because everyone here loves android and most dislike if not hate apple

Its possible that the new Nexus will not be released at the end of the year for a few reasons which have been outlined in a thread I made previously:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747121
And I think what it boils down to is that if you want a phone that you just want to pick up and use to its full potential, stick with the iPhone. If you want something that you are prepared to put a bit of work into to attain a much better device go for Android.

Be careful when getting a nexus, you dont want one with a dodgy screen like mine.

I would recommend the GNex to the IP4
Bigger screen, more customization, lighter, less common (in my country)
I would say though IP4 gets more accessories (cases, power packs, docking stations etc.)

A boring layout
Non configurable settings
No choice on what you want to do with your device
No customization

The one thing apple has with iOS is its always upgraded to all devices. Not fragmented like android. We still don't have jelly bean. Also build quality. I'm getting tired of plastic $600 phones. At least apple uses quality materials. Also the iPhone has created a culture and had captured peoples hearts. its why they will always be on top.

Yeah that makes sense since the Android market share is already above 50% and iOS is still around 30%. I guess with those percentages Apple is most definitely still on top. LOL
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Apple is on top as far as one phone model outselling any android model. I know the s3 recently outsold the 4s but what do you expect when everyone knows that it is very likely that a new phone would soon come out. New phone coming out means that better hardware will soon be available as well as the current hardware should be cheaper.
Android is on top as far as market value goes though by obviously having the largest share of the smart phone market.
I hate when people compare the fragmentation of android and apple. It is not conceivable to have every android device being kept with the latest android OS simply because it would be far too costly to do so. There are thousands of different models of android phones which have different hardware which further requires different software and drivers to operate their phones. How can someone compare keeping less than 10 devices up to date with the latest OS versus keeping thousands of devices up to date with the latest os?

What you call fragmentation is really called choice, which is better for the consumer. In an anticompetitive market consumers lose out. Apple’s anticompetitive market also contributes greatly to a lack of innovation. iOS is basically the same crap it has been since the first iteration.
It is surprising that you are on XDA forums and you haven't discovered Black Jelly.

I was an iPhone user for four years before I jumped to the atrix and now the galaxy 3. I would never go back but I can honestly say the most intriguing feature of the iphone 5 is the graphics capability. It is definitely unmatched in its class. But its never enough to get me back. Ive been sober for two years now with no urge to go back.

I agree with you about Apple's build quality - - it is very good. However, I'm perfectly happy with the build quality of my S3 as well. As for fragmentation, I have to laugh. Just because different gen iPhones run the same iOS version doesn't mean Apple enables all features for all phones. iOS is becoming very fragmented, they just disguise it better than Android.
And even the new iPhone has a tiny screen. My wife will get the new iPhone, but I'd never consider switching back after having used Android for the last 18 months.

While we cannot get Windows Phone 8 on this device, we can make your phone look like Windows Phone 8. Check out Launcher 7 or Windows Phone 8 launcher. I think there is one for Windows 8 also.

Friends and their Smartphones

I just wanted to ask, if you face the daily problems like me.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I bought it because it has the pure Android.
In my private life there are those who have an s2 and are happy with it and do not want to get a new android version because "then everything is new and I don't want to explore my smartphone"
Then there are the Applers. I do not think I have to add informations about them.
And last but not least there are those who always buy a new Samsung and think they are the best now because they have the best smartphone on market.
And every group tells me, that I am stupid because I tell them valid arguments to prove that their smartphones are just not as "cool" or "that much of a intelligent piece of work" as they think and that they are facing several security lags if they don't listen to me. But ....

Haha I kind of know what you mean. A lot of people think the iPhone is the best phone out there, probably because its name is basically "Phone" and subliminally says "perfection". Would you rather buy something called iPhone or Ace or Thunderbolt or Nexus?
And it doesn't help that "everyone" has an iPhone, and because they just got it they have to show it off or put it in some $100 case. I remember a time where owning an iPhone meant you were on the wealthy side, but now it seems everyone and their poorer brother has one. Actually, both on and off contract the Galaxy Nexus costs more than the iPhone 4. Used the Galaxy Nexus fetches about $200, more pre Nexus 4. I got a used-but-crackless iPhone 4 in late November for $180. And we all I know iPhone 4 has been free on contract for a while now whereas the Nexus was I think $50 before Verizon ditched it, not sure about other carriers.

Yeah, but to argue with iPhone owners is like talking to a wall. They know you're right and in the depth of their hearts they see your point, but iPhone isn't just a Phone. If you buy an iPhone you're a part of something big. It's like a religion. They doesn't care if you prove them points. It's a matter of believing something or not.

Stop trying to prove or explain them arguments. The lack of a non Nexus phone will show up anyway and then you can put a smirk on your face.

I quite enjoy being part of the relitely exclusive 'nexus club' iv seen a few in the wild which random people own but none of my mates have one. I must admit being part of xda does make me take more notice of what people own. Those closest to me own, 2 sgs 2, 1 iphone, 2 sgs 3, 1 dhd. I had the first android out of all of them and they saw it was a superior OS and the dhd came next followed by the 2 sgs2 (both still on ginger bread even now lol) then the iPhone and then the 2 sgs 3. None of which are rooted etc but I know owning a nexus is special where as the rest don't really give two ****s and are happy as they are

Actually my Apple fanboy friends are nice and are not always saying Apple is the best (for example they use PCs instead of Macs, And most of them just have old gen iPods). Here in Portugal not many people have a phone as good has the Nexus (most of those have a stable life and job). When my friends saw the Nexus for the first time they asked "is that a s3?" And I just say no and have the secret wish of killing them .

It's always funny when my friends are bragging about their new Samsung Galaxy S3 (Some of them not running Jelly Bean yet)
And then I show them my Galaxy Nexus, the first they as is, what brand is your phone? And I answer "Samsung and Google", check the battery cover. LOL. They don't understand a **** because they bought the SG3 as the holy grial.
And then I show them photosphere (It always work) and my android version 4.2.1

Correction: The Next Big Thing

Now you get a story of my daily life to show you why it's a pain in the a**.
A friend of mine asked me a couple of month(around end of September/October) ago which phone she should buy. I told her to buy the Nexus 4, because it is stand of art and she would get the updates earlier than nearly all other androidusers and so the security is much higher (one of her strongest wishes for a new phone). She just answered "but it's from LG. I don't buy phones from LG."
I told her that LG produced it but Google designed and developed it.
Her answer "Yeah but on the cover there is the LG- Logo. What will the people think about me? "
After that I just got my head explode and asked why she is interested in the opinion about others. Further I explained:" If the others don't know that your phone is the best on the market, then they are the stupid ones. So f*** on their opinion "
Friend: " Yeah but they do not know that it is the best one. So where is the point in buying it?"
I told her to never ask me again.....

But aren't you sort of doing the same thing she did by getting upset because she didn't understand your point of view? Enjoy your phone and let her enjoy what she ultimately ends up getting. You don't have a phone for the same purpose she does. Besides, if it weren't for Apple, there wouldn't be the drive from Google to make a better phone and you wouldn't have a nexus to be proud of.

I wouldn't buy the lg n4 either as its no better than the galaxy nexus other than better performance with a handful of games an yes so what if it gets quicker updates so does the gnex an I hardly use stock anyway.
