I've given my GN to my son so I could take the new GS3. I have to tell you that I'm pretty shocked that the GS3 routinely (stock or rooted and unlocked bootloader) gets about 24-30 hours of battery life with 4 hours of screen time.
having the same sie battery (2100), why the hell can't we get the same kind of battery life out of the GN? Aren't these 2 phones supposed to be close cousins if not siblings? Any ROM/kernel combo out there that can achieve this good of bettry life? currently on BAMF.
It's the Krait S4 chipset. Much smaller and therefore much more efficient.
Yeah, the Sammy improved on the weaknesses of the gnex w/ the s3, but the s3 has ics. Ics seemed to have better battery life. Jb seems to be more of a battery hog no matter which rom you have. Maybe when jb radios are released battery life might be a little better, but I just got 4 1/2 hrs screen time on codename's rom the other day. If I would have seen this post then, I would have posted a screenie...

NO NO NO, GSM Nexus you are talking about does not have any meaningful LTE technology. If I turn off 4G and go with 3G, I get the same battery life. Where it's at is the GS3 running Unlocked Bootloader and CM10 :laugh:

LTE technology is overpriced and overrated. As long as my GSM nexus with unlocked bootloader and rasbean can do everything my buddies GS3 can do I'll stick with GSM Google phones.

Try downloading a 200mb rom. Once you have LTE speed, you never go back. Don't knock it until you've had it for a few months. With LTE toggle I can get what you have, I just don't want to.

ICS still had terrible battery life on the GNEX. Not much difference between JB. On the 2100mAh battery I averaged 2 hours on screen time with LTE on using ICS and JB. Battery life is terrible on this thing.
Looking at the S3 battery life on LTE, basically we got screwed.

No one is arguing that the Big red is evil and is quite expensive. But they have the best signal, coverage, and speed. No one argues that. If you have a 4g LTE phone, why would you be running anything less? It's a silly argument.
I use google voice for texting, have 1400 min of anytime minutes for 3 phones with 10 friends and family numbers, and unlimited data for all three. My bill icluding taxes and fees is $212 a month. That's pretty reasonable compared to others. The problem, you can't get it as a new customer.

Completely disagree. I just took this screenshot 10 minutes ago on my LTE Nexus (haven't been on WiFi at all today).
I have LTE turned off most of the time unless I want to use it so it's not using it for mundane tasks or syncing, but I use it whenever I want to and it's fine. I used it fairly heavily today. Screen on-time is 1:40.

How is reception, audio, camera, GPS, battery life
Don't do it because its going to take a while for us to get the new software (Jellybean). I'm going to give you a little advice that I learn the hard way. Only buy Google made phones like galaxy nexus. Never buy other parties like Samsung and HTC cause they never update phone and there's not a lot of development. For android only get Google specific manufacturer phone . I can't stress that enough

Reception is a tough one as it depends on so many factors. I live just a few miles from the nearest TMO tower and my job is only 15 miles away so I always have great reception. I'm currently running the Whitehawkx AOKP ROM and have no issues with audio, camera, GPS or battery. Audio is crystal clear on calls and through apps such as Pandora, HBOGo, etc. The camera is what it is, 8mp is capable of quite a bit and if you get a solid HDR app such as HDR Camer+ by Almalence, you'll really get to see the hardware used to its potential.
I don't use maps much so I can't comment a whole lot on GPS other than to say the few times I have needed it, it has worked flawlessly. The battery is of course dependent upon far too many factors that all come from personal usage tendencies but I can say from my experience I get between 15 and 20 hours of battery a day on a full charge.
I'd suggest just checking the phone out in store if possible to get a better feel of what you'd be getting. Yeah, the OS updates are few and far between, and could very well be over at this point, but with all the custom ROM choices and the abilities of the Devs here, I wouldn't be shocked to see more custom choices as we go along.

There isn't a bright future for this phone. Most of the devs are moving away for greater phones. Our aokp dev doesn't have this phone anymore so it's not looking too good for aokp jellybean. I'd figure out a way for an s3 or wait for the nexus to come back (hopefully).
But if you must then this is a good phone with good Rom options at this point in time. Just don't be too hopeful about the future.

If your still in your 14 days why don't u return the one s and cancel the service. Go buy a cheap prepaid phone get on T-Mobile prepaid or another prepaid service. Then when the gs3 becomes available resign up for service thru T-Mobile.

If you're looking for a really good phone but don't want to spend $600.00 then the S2 is for you IMO! I've enjoyed my S2 since I first bought it. I don't know how big you are on rooting, ROMs, and the like, but even if you don't root this phone is great! The only thing that might turn you off is the larger than average screen (the Galaxy S3 is even bigger, but thinner), in that case I would go with a Blaze.

My wife just upgraded to an iPhone5 by signing a 2-year extension, so I've decided to upgrade to another phone to keep our contract terms the same. I have a Galaxy Nexus that I've enjoyed using - mainly for the official updates. But for $10, I can get a refurb One X. I know these phones are pretty similar, but I wanted to list a few gripes about the GNex and see if they are evident in the HOX:
1. GPS hardly works - I've tried some fixes, but I always seem to have to turn off Google location and reboot for a signal to sync.
2. Battery Life - I'm a pretty heavy web surfer and the GNex will typically last 4 - 5 hours (30%). On a typical day, I usually charge once around 1:00pm and before bed.
I love JB, but if it not released for HOX in October, I imagine I can find a ROM with it?

the One X and Nexus are not similar....massively better screen, built and camera, GPU and CPU i don't see the "similar"
just be prepared for a lot of screen off time and less screen on time, Tegra 3 is different from all other phones it gives crazy amount of sleep time thanks to the extra low power core and consumes a lot during actual use, over wifi browsing you can achieve 3.5 hours, don't forget the screen is over 4x brighter so even at 25% you are still brighter than the GNEX, heavy 3d gaming gives around 2.5 to 3 hours on stock ROM
custom ROMs are aplenty and CM10 is fully functional but you loose the benefits of Sense (believe when i say benefits) and you loose the camera abilities like HDR and burst mode
the current 2.17 Android 4.0.4 firmware is almost as smooth as JB
we had the leaked JB alpha test firmware for few weeks, beta is just around the corner and the final OTA is coming in OCTOBER

I am currently on my 2nd rezound and will recieve my third tomorrow. If it does the same thing the first two did then I have to decide on an alternate phone.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
If reception and battery life are your two most important priorities, then you might want to stay clear of nexus. Battery can be overcome with more batteries. You might not want to do that but you should also consider that nexus still uses early generation lte radio. And from what I've read, Verizon nexus had issues with radio. Many people had to get replacements til they got proper reception. Anyways, the gsm version is better overall, minus the lte. Might want to consider a phone with newer generation lte like the Motorola's though I personally don't want to recommend Motorola ATM because of their lack of regards and support with customers.
...
Well those are somewhat important, but I grew tired of the rooting process with the rezound as well. HTC is awful now when it comes to that. The most I got with my rezound, rooted was around 3.5 hrs screen time. Normal usage I could only get around 2.5
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
summing up others experiences, that is approximately what you will get with the nexus. extra batteries are cheap too. i recommend OEM over anything else,so you should be able to double your battery life easy with an extra $25-35 battery. but yeah, if that is all you were getting with the rezound, sell it immediately and get a nexus.
I can make it an entire day with the nexus. And i haven't had reception issues. I am on sprint though.

I'd recommend getting the Nexus, and if you are on Verizon, the extended battery they offer. Then, I'd get a case (I recommend "Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 TPU Case" These), with a nice screen protector. If you live in an urban area, near the east coast where Verizon has most LTE towers, you should be fine with reception. Plus, you will have Jelly Bean and probably one of the most "replay" (talking about ROMs) value I have ever seen with a phone. It's a great experience.

The reception on this phone has been great for me. Battery isn't anything to brag about though. If you want a good phone to root and flash ROMs with, I would say this is it. The galaxy nexus has a huge community and plenty of good ROMs to try out. And the lack of bloatware is nice too.

The GNex is notorious for how quickly the battery drains while the screen is on. There's nothing you can do, realistically, on stock, to fix this...custom ROM users usually have some tricks to increase battery life.

For battery life you could even try a mild underclock. This is will may or not help, depending on what kind of apps (and processor usage) you run on the background.
It's definitely the signal because I experience it first hand when I go back and forth to visit my parent's house. They have atrocious signal reception (One bar for 3G) and battery drains around 3% a minute. It's a lot different when I'm at my place with full 4G signal because I can get 4+ hours on screen time.
It's unfortunate one of Google's flagship phones was designed poorly in signal/battery efficiency. Oh well, what can you do.

It's unfortunate one of Google's flagship phones was designed poorly in signal/battery efficiency. Oh well, what can you do.

Yeah, I got the nexus 4, and it has only slightly better battery life, I usually charge my gnex and nexus 4 2 tines a day each

At least with the Gnex, you can put in an extended battery if desired. You're SOL with the Nexus 4.
Idk, I don't have battery issues. Using the 2100mAh battery.

Sorry..guess my point is that, to me, the OP might simply have a defunct battery. I do nothing special with my phone to increase battery life. No greenify, underclocking, etc..2 email accounts syncing along with weather and a few other apps. If he's using simply as a media device maybe a new battery is all it needs.
