is it really as bad as the reviews say?

i am looking for a new phone and i really like the nexus 4g, i am on sprint and i read the reviews on the website and they all generally say bad signal and terrible battery life even with the extended battery.
so..... i would like some people to chime in with their personal experiences with the phone itself.
Thanks,
Boneskid1

I've been happy with it
I've had mine for a few weeks now and am very pleased with my choice. Like any smartphone, the more you do the less battery you get. I'm pretty dependent on mine and get a full day (from when I get up until I go to bed) from it. My GPS is always on, wifi active (when available), and 3G (no LTE in Boise yet). I have many apps gathering info for me, so the data is usually always in use. I did get the free extended battery about a week in and it made it easier to keep it running before charging.

No issues and I have standard battery. Average about 4.5 hours screen on and can go day and half in standby

I've had mine since June, and haven't has any issues with it whatsoever. I'm not in an LTE market (Milwaukee) so I can't comment on that. but 3g, WiFi, and battery, have all been better than I expected. very happy with my decision to go with the galaxy nexus.

Most if not all reviews are outdated.
Search YouTube for the newer reviews because of Jb.
If you do end up with terrible signal or it drops constantly its a hardware issue and needs to be replaced immediately.
I'm using vzw and haven't had any issues of signal.

i have both the gnex and nexus s.. galaxy nexus battery life is much better, and the device is everything the ns is but better

ok. thank you for the input i am defiantly going to get it.
are there any cases you guys would recommend, i am really careful but accidents do happen and this is a more expensive phone than my previous one.
Thanks,

I love the phone. Screen looks weird stock, but using a custom ROM sorts it out.
I live in a LTE market (East Metro Atlanta), with ~70% LTE coverage.
I love it, so fast.
A huge jump up from WiMax, and better than HSPA+

If you are worrying about dropping your phone, go with Otterbox Commuter, Sedio Active or Incipio Silicrilc (I think)

+1 to the otterbox commuter. had it since the day I got my galaxy nexus, and its been great. you can't go wrong with Seidio cases either, IMO.

I gave up on CDMA phones a long time ago.

ok so what would the best rooting option be? the one stickied on the sprint dev page or something else, also when does anyone else think sprint gnex's will get the goodness of jellybean?

I say adb, others will say Toolkit.
Toolkit is a click and root " but problems can occur "
I used Adb and it worked fine, got me use to adb as well if I ever needed to use it.

so would the acs version be considered adb? i dont have the device in my hand yet but i am hoping to have it ordered tomorrow so i just would like to figure what route i am going to take.

Rooting is simple as unlocking bootloader, flash/boot into custom recovery, and flashing SuperSU or SuperUser.
For more info on this, check this thread

The horrible signal is Sprint's fault and Google's device is taking the blame. It's sprints fault.
Battery life, it's fine if your not doing stuff that kills it fast like Pandora or YouTube or GPS.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

I come here and just giggle in amazement at the problems people report (and often cause for themselves).
I have had my International Galaxy Nexus for a month, I'm no expert but rooted it and installed the Google Image of Jelly Bean in no time. The phone is terrific, fast, smooth, easy to use, responsive. The standard battery isn't great so I got a really inexpensive charging dock and that solved that issue.
In that month I haven't seen a single glitch or problem of any sort. Not one!
People whinge about the camera. Oh well my needs are somewhat basic but if you are just facebooking or using it for on screen viewing I found the camera just fine - at least it's really fast.
My son has an S3 and for most uses you just can't tell them apart!

I've had this phone for two weeks now and like the OP, I find new things with it every day. Battery life is great! UI is smooth! I haven't had any issues with it. Only android device I've owned prior to this was a rooted htc hero (sprint). I went to an iPhone for awhile and I'm glad I waited till now to switch back! Once you've got a taste of a big screen. You don't want to go back to anything smaller. :laugh:
Looking forward to rooting this baby and trying out the different roms!
Also, glad to be back in the xda community! :victory:

Agreed that this phone is awesome. It's honestly the best phone I've ever owned by far. The S-Pen is quite cool as well. I'm always finding uses for it.
BTW, if you haven't checked it out yet, check out Samsung's user guide app for it:

I usually root my phones but I don't think I will on this one, at least not for a while. I don't think it's a good idea anyway because I don't want to have any issues when T-Mobile gets around to pushing and OTA update for LTE.

I had a htc hd2 back a few years ago i liked the screen on it but it didnt have android market it had the windows apps... jesus i started missing android quite quickly.. i never rooted a phone when i had the hd2 didnt even know about rooting in the first place... the vibrant changed all that.. I may mess around with kernels but im really happy with what i have in this phone....

I agree, I'm happy with how the phone is running now and don't find a need to root it. Although those roms coming out are looking VERY tempting!

[Q] So how many people on here actually have this phone?

I am just curious, I still have a good 9-10 days to return it and might as well if there is not going to be much dev support because even with this awesome hardware I know LG just plain sucks at software...
We should make a list, if you have one say so just so we can get a count of how many people have them.

I have it...I am not a dev and don't really care to root my phone...just want the Jelly Bean upgrade I'll be happy with this. Dropped my GSIII the other day...the deductible on the insurance was $199....I had an upgrade was going to get a new GSIII but started reading about this phone so I decided to give a shot...LOVE IT...don't regret getting this over another GSIII...as a matter of fact I like it better. Very happy with it.

I have it. My return deadline is this Friday. Might return it for the Nexus 4. Love the device. At&t wont unlock. Still undecided for now.

I'm not counting on att I'm hoping devs figure it out. But if we have to rely on LG jelly bean may never happen and this bloat is ridiculous, I'm pretty sure they never fixed the G2x only the custom roms did.

The bloat you can fix by rooting and using Titanium Backup. I'm fine with the phone, I just need to know that the bootloader will get unlocked, and there will be dev support. The entire xda section for this phone is dead. Not a good sign.

Exactly my worry, this place is a ghost town. And there is something very wrong with our stock OS. The battery usage is ridiculous and this chip should bench higher too.

The battery has been up and down for me. Twice I've had something get stuck that killed the battery, once it was the phone, and I hadn't made any calls that day. It was fine after a reboot. The android OS seems to keep it awake a bit much, and the phone is NEVER in deep sleep as much as other devices. Try eco mode?
Also, this thing is benching fine? Same as the Korean version? I posted a bunch of bench screens in the "show homescreen" thread. The N4 was benching horribly last time I was looking at reviews...

Well I guess my only comparison were the 10k quadrants the qualcomm dev system was putting up with this chip. But yeah I mean it is blazing fast, fastest phone I've ever seen... That's why I'm having such a hard time deciding.

This thing with its stock AT&T ICS rom, stock kernel, stock clocks, is benching about the same as my SGS3 was with a Jelly Bean ROM, kernel, and OCed to 1.7ghz. In some cases, its beating it. My friend has the Sprint SGS3 (krait dual core) and I'm obliterating him in benches. Browsermark is about the only thing he's even with.
As a phone, for normal people, is great. I could easily recommend this to friends. Battery life is the only thing we can debate on. For us? We need XDA dev support. I know for myself, I *have* to get back to Jelly Bean, and some form of AOSP rom. (I'm partial to AOKP)
So I have a week to see what's going to happen. Hopefully with the N4 coming out today, we'll see something. If its still a ghost town with no word by next week, I'm going to have to decided to either return it, and save my upgrade or sell it on XDA.

That dev board shows what the SoC is capable of, but no way will performance be the same on this. This already has thermal throttling issues, so pushing it too much would be crazy.

Exactly what I'm thinking, not because of dev support, but because there are many little issues I can't deal with with this phone. Either the Nexus 4 or the One X+.

Good luck getting a Nexus anytime soon, I tried AT launch this morning. Some members got some, others like myself spent 20 minutes trying over and over, getting lag and errors until the phone was removed from our carts, and is now sold out.
I tried. I have to return the LGOG by Monday... hopefully something happens by then.

This phone is brand new...you can't expect it to be PERFECT..its pretty close though lol. And all I see is people pointing out the bad. Battery life...you have 4 cores! Your phone isn't gonna get the battery life your used to..and benchmarks? Idk what you guys are pulling but I get 7500+. That's plenty fast for me. And LG is hurting. The OG is gonna make or break them. I think you need to have faith in this manufacturer. Its the first of its kind in the US. Its too big of a deal to not update. Mght be a couple months but for those of you who switch because of locked bootloader will regret with what I believe will come in the future. Jellybean will do wonders for the UI..which is not bad at all...I suggest you give this beast a chance..I don't think you will regret it.

Sure sure Mr LG employee! I do agree this phone will be the survival or death of their mobile. But my doubts come from owning prior LG devices, their problems were all software and never fixed by LG. It didn't matter though because we had a decent dev community, looked bootloaders though on an LG phone worry the hell out of me. This phone is a beast I love the build quality but I am still sceptical, I'm going to ride this ship though hopefully we steer clear of icebergs!

I can understand your concerns. I had the same thoughts..I almost considered switching to the one x+, but I would regret it if (and I'm sure it will) upgrade to 4.1 or possibly jb and 4.2. I think this is their changing point.

I was rooting for the nexus 4 but when it came out with no lte and no expandable memory I opted for the next best thing at the time which was LG optimus g hoping developement would be therefore it. And thankfully it seems to be the case so :good:!

I have had this device a little over a week and i love it i get way better battery life than i did oit of my atrix 2 and so far nothing i due can produce lag the phone responds as fast as i can touch the screen i love my device i think build quality is second to none and my city launched lte recently so with 40 mb plus download speeds i think this device is supurb i have rooted and installed custom roms on every device i have owned but so far with the optimus g i see no need to my only complaint is the camera i feel it could be better but hey its still a phone !

I am loving this phone. Its incredibly fast and responsive I have only managed to lag it with Testla LED (oddly Flashlight works fine).

You can turn it off:
Settings -> Backup and Reset -> Collect Diagnostics
Uncheck Allow Diagnostics
Then you won't need a custom ROM. I don't even have root yet *gasp*, just not worth the pain since the software is excellent.
Although you will have to adjust to the size coming from a 3.7"

I'm coming over from the MT4GS as well. Gonna have to get used to this Samsung stuff...

I love my mt4gs but this phone is light years beyond it. I love the size and speed of it. I can get two days of battery life with the stock battery (no anker battery here).

That was another question I had . Is 5.5" really big enough for the device to function effectively as a tablet? Or do you feel it works but still undersized?

Depends on the tablet. This phone effectively replaces my nexus 7, but I dont think it woukd replace a 10" tablet as they kinda serve different purposes. I'd say a 10" is if you want to replicate a laptop experience and size for content consumption, but a 7" is if u want a bigger size but not as large as a 10" because 9/10" tabs are very unweildy

I've seen a couple other guys from MT4GS post here.
My transition will have to happen after my wife's backordered S3 in white gets in stock. Retentions screwed up the order and it sat on a desk for 2 days before it got sent to the warehouse.
Samsung stuff is the little differences in flashing and recovery from the HTC devices. It as hard to screw up a MT4GS. I am reading of people jacking their phones up often enough here. There seems to be a learning curve but there is no way of knowing if these guys are like crimedave...
Good thing is the Note 2 already has a notable dev community starting...

I also came from the gnex and was lucky enough to unlock before VZW killed the tool. Been rooted on stock for a while now, and while I can say that Sense 5 is decent enough, I really missed the stock android feel. And using Nova Launcher just wasn't good enough.
So this morning I flashed it to the CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly. I have to say I feel at home again, aside from a few bugs that aren't necessarily show stoppers. Now using the interface I had before, I have to say I don't miss the gnex all that much.
It's not much bigger, and is a whole lot faster. Gotta admit, though, the reason I picked this over the GS4 was the front facing speakers. EVERY PHONE SHOULD HAVE SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT! The nexus speaker was just sad.

I was a day one purchaser of the GNex. Thought I was the coolest kid in town. Then the battery issues started. And the reception issues. I would have to carry a backup battery to make it thru the day. If that phone didnt have a removable back cover and had that battery, I would have upgraded long ago. I had the standard and extended battery (from Verizon) and both covers started to lose their fit.
I love the premium feel of the One. I'm getting much better reception in my location. LTE speeds are quite improved. And the glorious battery life, it may not be the best, but coming from a GNex, it's worlds better. The screen, hardware, reception, and battery were reasons enough for me to upgrade.
I will miss the multitude of ROMs the GNex had and its openness, excluding the Verizon aspect. Moving from stock to sense will be an adjustment, but one I'm kinda interested in. I'm getting used to the cap keys again. This is my first HTC phone personally, although I have rooted and s-offed some of the older models. I've been around touchwhiz and decided it wasn't for me. Also, the plastic feel of the s4 wasn't very appeasing.
Overall, I'm happy I made the decision to move on the One. The GNex is retiring and heading out to pasture with the OG Droid.
Peace,
:good::good::good:

After reading a few posts, I see that a few people besides myself came from a GNEX. How many of us are there, and how are you liking the One? I love it, but wish we had S-OFF. I know it will be soon though.

I came from the Galaxy Nexus.

I came from the gnex and could not be happier. The only issue I have with the phone is I keep hitting the speaker button with my cheek when I am on the phone.
I LOVE sense 5 I was a huge stock guy before but I pleasently surprised

I also came from the Galaxy Nexus. While I do miss how easy it was to unlock and root, I'd gladly trade it for my One. Especially now that Sonic is going to S-Off my One.
The battery life and reception issues ultimately ended up being a deal breaker for me.

Is your proximity sensor off? My HTC One detects my face being near the phone and shuts the screen off. When I pull the phone away, it comes back on.

Me too
I came from the GNex and love my new One! I miss the GNex in a few ways but I'm s-Off'd, unlocked and rooted on the One. Go Sonic!

I came from the GNex. No looking back even without root.

did the shuffle to get here from the GNexus and am very satisfied. Phone feels, looks and operates great, even with S-ON. I plan on shipping mine out to get it S-OFFd and see if I can't get back to the 'stock" feel.

Wow there really are a lot of GNEX owners that came to this phone. I am extremely satisfied with the One myself.

Came from the GNex and flashed tons of roms and mods. Started with the S4 out of impatience and ended up switching to the One. Definitely enjoy the One far more than the S4 out of the box. S-Offed, unlocked and rooted but have no desire to flash anything right now. I'm sure that'll change at some point but this is the first phone that I haven't wanted to dump the manufacturers skin of android immediately.

Another former Gnex user here! Loved that phone, but it was time to move on. I miss the hacking and massive dev support, but android is so flexible even Verizon can't ruin such a beautiful phone
Going from an hour of screen time to over 4x that some days, Im in love
Can't wait until the hard working devs crack this bad boy open and really allow us to show what its made of!!

Had a GNEX for almost 2 years. Loved it. Did a quick stint with the S3 which I was not all that fond of. The HTC One is by far, the best smart phone I have ever had. Even without unlock and root, still an amazing device.

I came from the nexus too. Got the gnex right on launch day and same with the one. Missed out on the unlock though so I might go back to the gnex for a week if I decide to send the one to sonic.

Also came from the GNex. The speed, battery and radios of the One are definitely in another class compared to the GNex. Hopefully things will open up for the One when 4.3 or 4.4 roll around (Verizon...). Still thinking about sending away for S-off.

I too came from the GNex. I was one of those guys that thought I must have an AOSP based UI, but I have no problem using the Sense UI. Not as ugly and bloated as TouchWiz. I am currently back on my GNex using CyanogenMod 10.2 while my phone is being S'Off'ed. I cannot stand the bloatware that Verizon added to the phone. While back on the GNex, I am plagued with radio problems because of it being on 4.3. I am an extremely happy HTC One owner.

hello

My first Android phone was the OGDroid. After that it was the Incredible 2, then the GNEX, and now the One. I still miss the OGDroid, but obviously I've moved on to bigger and better things.
