Switching phones? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone here switch phones at all? I have a Galaxy Nexus which I absolutely love, but just recently went back to the Nexus S. Mainly for nostalgia and to try out the new JB ROMs. I still haven't gotten the itch to go back. For being an almost 2 year old phone, the Nexus S can still keep up.

Thanks!

I would def do it.
Do you want a SGSIII?
- If yes, get it.
- If no, keep your Galaxy Nexus.
Why do people constantly open threads like these. Why are you going to base your decision in someone else opinion?
My opinion....doesn't matter! Hell buy an iPhone for all I care.

No.
Simba was moving too slow, so I told him to Mufasa.
Funny cause I just got an S3 for my wife about an hour ago. I haven't really played with it that much beside installing some of her apps. Me personally, I wouldn't be able to switch. There are some really neat features and the 2 gigs of ram is very nice but for me the nexus with jelly bean is still the better device.

The gs3 is an awesome phone no doubt. I won't be buying another non Nexus device for myself though. The Nexus line is exactly what I want in a phone... An awesome development community for bleeding edge features that non Nexus phones won't see for many many months.

Completely agree with this. Ive had an iPhone 4 for a year and before that an HTC Evo 4G. I grew tired of the iPhone so I decided to take a chance with this Nexus. I've got to honestly say as long as this device stays in working condition for the next few yrs, I won't buy another phone until they stop sending OTA updates to this phone. Which might not be for a loong time considering I bought this straight from Google.

totally worth it. do it.
Why you downgrade to an SGS 3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Overall the S3 is underwhelming. AOKP running on both devices, the Nexus perform just the same. The S3 is faster in some tasks like installing apps and gaming, but for the most part its not a noticeable difference. And the Nexus have more up to date software and roms. I like the feel of the Nexus more, the S3 feel very flimsy.
I'm in a dilemma about which device I should sell, I can store more stuff with the S3 and take nicer photos, but for almost anything else I prefer the Nexus.
I do know for a fact that the T-Mobile of version of S3 will probably get Jelly Bean as its last official update, while the Nexus will get plenty more updates from Google in the future.
Also S3 factory firmware is unusable for me, very bloated and slow, I guess once you're spoiled by stock Android everything else feel slow.
Yes, then sell the gs3, buy a new nexus, and pocket the difference.

Why didn't I thought of that?
Yes! Sell it for $450-500, then buy the Play Store GNex for $350. Pocket the difference

Pocketing the difference feels great.
traded my iPhone 4 32GB + $100 for a 4S back in January off craigslist. The dude couldn't wait for jailbreak any longer and valued a bit more cash.
Flipped my iPhone 4S (that I got an AT&T sanctioned unlock for as soon as they started doing that) three days after playing with my GNex for $550.
Pocketed $170. Almost enough to cover iPhone "5" since I'm eligible for an upgrade. Might do that and flip it for Nexus 2 when the time comes.
Either way, in a great spot and happier than I could imagine with my Jelly device

Galaxy Nexus?

So I see that the Galaxy Nexus is free right now on sprint. should I get it? it's got a bigger screen, much faster processor, and the same ram. EDIT: Twice the ram.
The only downside I see to this phone is that there is no memory card slot which is really handy for transferring roms or y'know PORN to the phone from the computer. (or so I think, rather than hooking up a cable and screwing around) (my computer always has a micro sd adapter in it)
Space isn't an issue because I don't store any music on my phone (I use pandora)
I am really wanting the nfc thing because then I can buy a tag and have it turn on my pandora and bluetooth.
The phone I really want is the Note 2, but $300 is really high. Not rich after all.
Final Summation?
Sprint, sprint, sprint. I don't think carrier branded Nexus are worthy...

CDMA Nexii are always the last to receive updates for the Nexus line. Both Sprint, and particularly Verizon, are notorious for holding up releases for these phones.
Plus the Nexus 4 was just released.

If you're an XDA member it's retarded to complain about carrier updates. A Nexus is a Nexus. For one, Sprint got 4.1 out in two months after its release. For two, it can always be compiled from AOSP source. Google even released binaries for the Sprint variant for 4.2. I'm running a perfectly stable, purely AOSP, unaltered 4.2 built from source.
If you don't own the device, don't talk like you know what goes on with it.
It is definitely worth the free upgrade.

If you just wanna emulate a Nexus... try AOKP JB Build 4. Softkeys (superior to ParanoidAndroid's in terms of similarity to Nexii) and even more.
Whatever, I'm on PA 1.5a (ICS) now and it emulates ICS tablets well enough.

Exactly however IMO I feel that if you have an upgrade why would you buy a phone that is already outdated instead of either getting the S3, GN2, or LG Nexus, just saying even a normal consumer would say so as well. As I have an upgrade I messed with gnex and don't see the need when my NS4G is. Getting 4.2 as well, and The S3 and GN2 features and build pretty much wrap it together. I don't understand why you would buy an outdated product that will most likely by end or middle of next year be completely obsolete and not supported. Whereas a GN2 will be supported to atleast 2014.
However if financially you can't afford then yes go right ahead. But the S3 would be more practical as it will drop in price in a few months to probably 149 or even 99.

Because it's still solid hardware and not everyone can afford the price tag of brand new devices. The Galaxy Nexus is free for upgrade and still maintains itself very well against the newest hardware. It will be the most relevant device with software updates thanks to AOSP next to the new Nexus 4. Also, there is no GN2. Not sure what you were meaning to refer to with that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Gnex won't possibly be given up so early will it? After all, Nexus One received Gingerbread all along and CM just stopped support very recently. Considering Gnex's dependable hardware I bet it'll last much longer, maybe to official Android 5.x and CM's Android 7+...

I think I will just wait and get the note 2 or other quad core super amazing phone. Most of what you guys have said is true. The only reason I was thinking to upgrade is because it was pretty much free.

Personally, I love the Gnex. I just upgraded to it from the old school Evo 4 g and even though its not a newly released phone, it is still an amazing device. I'm very glad I took the free upgrade cuz I'm pretty sure I won't "outgrow" this phone for quite a while. I just started getting bored with my Evo a couple months ago, and I got it at first release so I expect this one to last quite a while!

Took the note 2 out for a few weeks, we had a good time but ultimately she just wasn't a nexus.
Glad to be back!

dont get me wrong i love AOSP and the nexus series but if i had the note 2 i wouldnt come back to this phone... the n4 maybe, but defiantly not the gnex.. but to each their own, glad you are happy with the gnex :good:
I would agree i would stay with the note but am saving up to buy the note 3 and keep my unlimited data plan. Thanks Verizon.

The battery life on the note is why I kept it. I like everything else Berger on the gnex but that is worthless if I can't use it. I hung on to the Nexus to for ubuntu. Can't wait to try that out.

Well the Nexus will be around for a while. The Note 2 probably won't see many more updates. So in a year, the Galaxy Nexus would still be hip and cool and hanging in there with the latest features of Android while the Note 2 was left behind.
While the idea of a Note (10") with pen features sound great, every time I go into a store to play with one, it sucks. The Pen feature is pretty far behind the actual stylus and while it works well, it doesn't work as good as it shows in the commercials (what does though). To me, the PEN is awesome even if just for a quick doodle or note once in a while... but the Note is just too small to really utilize the pen to its full potential and limits it to just small notes.
The 10.1" Note is cool but it feels sluggish and laggy for some reason. Perhaps it is loaded down with junk like all displays... or it is just sluggish. Personally a 5" is too small and a 10" is too big. If they had a 7" at an attractive price point, we'd probably be talking.
Usually threads like this make me smh, but since I am very curious about the Note2 (I want one) I went ahead and decided to see what you have to say..
I am disappoint.
What the hell was the point OP?!
I would have stayed with the note 2 until the next nexus comes out end of 2013, note 2 is clearly a better phone compared to the gnex, that would have been the most logical thing to do but each to their own.

Whaaaaaaat? with that amazing battery life and all?
the nexus is cool and all but whats the point of having a sh*tload of features if you can barely use them
with the note 2 thats not a problem but well to each their own i guess
im happy with my nexus but the battery life on the Gnote is to drool for(SPECIALLY compared to the nexus battery)

So you're saying that the Note 2 (which ships with 4.1 in case you forgot) won't get any updates? Let's not forget that the GS3 is coming up on a year old in a few months here and got Jelly Bean recently while the Note 2 was released less than 4 months ago. Both the GS3 and Note 2 are their best selling devices by a long shot, I find it hard to believe that they'd abandon updating it within a year, even with newer devices on the horizon.
Well at least with Verizon you'd be waiting 6 months for updates.

For most consumers I'm sure it's hardly a thought. There's no question that it's not at it's end of updates but even if it is, such a popular device is going to get community support. I mean, the Verizon GNote2 has been out for less than 2 months and it's already got a slew of roms and a good amount of development behind it.
Yes, it will eventually lose official support from Samsung/Verizon much like the Gnex will, but where would XDA be if Android wasn't the masterpiece it is today?
If the Note 2 was cheaper, I'd have it, as long as ROMs are chugging out for it.

Keep note 2 an then just sell it when the next nexus phone comes out an get that, hopefully it will still cover the cost or close to it.

What was going through your mind when you decided to switch back? Sure updates are nice but the last 2 updates have broken features on my nexus. I'd much rather have amazing battery life, quad core processor and a large screen/Spen.

I bought it as a tablet replacement and it is simply too small, so I found myself carrying a tablet and a 5.5in phone which seemed crazy. The battery life will be missed, but a fresh nexus is just as snappy 99% of the time.
I have my Note 2 overclocked to either 1.8 or 1.92 and still get over 48 hours per charge and have had 8 hours screen time more than once even with moderate use over the 48+ hours.
Oh yeah, a little birdie told me Codeworx just ordered his today thanks to some nice people that gave him some healthy donations. Its funny that is the first device where people aren't going crazy waiting for AOKP or a pure AOSP ROM because they don't want to lose features.. that being said, there are some great 3rd party apps to take the place of SPad etc.

Upgrade to GNex or?

Hello Gnex owners!
I've been using my Nexus S for some time now and I believe it's time for upgrade. I was thinking Gnex because it is cheap but I need your opinion. If there are any previous Nexus S users here, you do know that after Jelly Bean arrived, NS became too laggy to support it and it was terrible. People reverted to ICS.
So,
1. How fast is your phone today on 4.2.2, how often does it lag, crash and so on...
2. How fast is it compared to Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?
Selling my Nexus S and adding not a lot of money does get me Galaxy Nexus, so I'm pretty excited. Or get Galaxy S2/Note 1? Thank you!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
1.Phone is as fast as i need it to be. It lags occasionally if i play a game like gta iii, but I'm not a big gamer.. Doesn't ever seem to crash, unless i'm experimenting.
2.As far as side-by-side comparisons, The nexus 4 is only about 4 months old; the galaxy siii is about 11 or twelve months old, and the gnex is about 16 months old; Things change quickly in the phone world. So you have to keep in mind the time frames.
If you're seriously considering a galaxy sii, I'd go for the galaxy nexus. Why haven't you mentioned something like the htc one x, etc.?
All in all, I think I'll be quite happy with this phone for another year or so.
No lags on a daily normal usage for me. Even when there is lag while running a lot of apps it‘s nothing that‘ll make you crazy.
None of the games like NFSMW or GTA III lag or slowdown noticably.
If I were you, coming from the Nexus S I‘d have upgraded to the Nexus 4 than the GSIII or even the Galaxy Nexus.
for the right price def do it!
I made the switch from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus because of the JB lag you mentioned, and I couldn't be happier. I never even considered getting a Nexus 4 because my phone works so well.

Former ns4g user here. I was in the exact same situation as you and made the leap back in December. Speed and smoothness are fine for me (don't play games). I think for the money/android experience, there's no better way to play it than to annually upgrade to 1-gen old nexus devices. I'm generally happy, but must say that I thought the ns was the ideal form factor. I even went back to my ns4g on a slimmed down Rom for a while before finally deciding to sell it. I just use web,email, maps, and a few apps, so the larger screen didn't add much to my user experience. Whatever though, I digress ... if you get the gnex, you'll be happy with 4.2.2

I'll be honest and say that i do miss my Nexus solely for development purposes. You'll always be ahead in the game with the Nexus. I have a S3 now and the only complaints I have are development community, I wish it was bigger. There is a ton of pros and cons though so you have to go with what suits your needs not everyone else's. My main reasons for getting rid of it were camera and no external SD card but I should have kept it around to mess with. All around it was an awesome phone though and if for some reason my S3 broke and that's the only phone I could go for I would be just fine with it.
Sent From My Galaxy SIII
I like the phone so much I just bought an used one for the wife.
personally my opinion is that if you plan to keep the phone for about 2 years or so, spend extra 100 and get a Nexus 4. The reason is that while the Galaxy Nexus is fast enough, with new software update, it can bring it down a little bit. I have used Galaxy Nexus and feel it is a bit slower than the newer Snapdragon S4 based phones due to the CPU. In addition, the Nexus 1GB RAM is fine now but with next round of OS update, it may not be.
It is no doubt that Nexus 4 should support the upcoming Key Lime Pie (or whatever is called) and probably so would the Galaxy Nexus. While Galaxy Nexus will run KLP fine, I think you may possibly ended up feeling that it is a bit too slow once the software hits while the Nexus 4 won't. In addition, with N4, you would also be able to keep it a bit longer and enjoy the future software updates.
if you're on verizon, gnex is a good bet to switch. i was in verizon yesterday and none of the phones they have interested me. if you're looking for a gsm phone, nexus 4. i'm on verizon so nexus 4 is not in my future, but i'm very happy with my gnex being over a year old already.

Verizon has nexus 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I got my phone around November 2012 for free with Verizon. Though a year old I have to say that it is still blazing fast. If your looking for a great looking phone, this is it. There is a bunch of phones that are much faster than the Galaxy Nexus but don't let this deter you. It runs 4.2.2 super smooth under clocked. I'm sure it will run the next update just as fast. The nexus 4 is a great phone but depending on what you do, the extra speed is a little overkill.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Nope, I'm in Europe, so I'm one of those who have to buy unlocked phones, no contracts or anything. Personally, my Nexus S is pretty fast, but after using my sister's S3 for a while the screen became to small, the phone itself became too small. I gave it a thought and I don't think speed will bother me that much on it. I won't play any games except Temple Run or something like that, I use Nexus 7 for high quality games like Real Racing or Deadzone.
I can sell Nexus S for 150€ and get new Galaxy Nexus for 260€. Nexus 4 is only sold by retailers here, and you can imagine how big the price is. At least 400-450€, Note 2 and S3 are cheaper! Evil retailers. Second hand Galaxy Nexus is no more than 220€.
So yes, thank you all for replying!

[Q] If you Had to upgrade right now....

And money wasn't an issue, what would it be and why?
Wait for the Note 3. I like a big ass full HD screen and the specs are gonna be monstreous.
I'm probably going to jump on the Note3, I am due for an upgrade around Sep.

I don't like too big screens for a phone, so I would go for an SGS4, kinda ironic isn't it ?
Iam also due for an upgrade around september, by then, many phones will be released....
If my GNex suddenly died on me, I'd pop my sim in my XPlay. Why?
I hate 5" phones, so that takes care of the S4 and the Xperia Z line (a shame cause I love the Z otherwise). The Note line is even worse for that. The HTC One is a beautiful phone with some great features and a good size..but you know it's locked down like area 51 because it's an HTC. Nexus 4 is tempting, but LCD screen, 720p screen(what with all the 1080 now), and it's LGness steer me away.
So in short, no new bleeding edge phone right now is tempting. Hopefully the X phone, or Nexus 5 or whatever doesn't go all 5 inch on us, and get's a 1080p SAMOLED (4.7" ideally)
My upgrade is also in September and a bunch of new phones will be out by then, but at the moment the only phone I would upgrade to would be the GS4.

I'm leaning towards the DROID dna..
I was actually able to upgrade back in February. There's no phone out right now that I really want to shell out the money for. The Xperia Z looks very nice, but no radios for 4G service here in the US as far as I know. As long as my GNex hangs in there, I'll probably wait at least a few more months before I consider upgrading. Possibly even until the big releases over the holiday season.

No they didn't. An insecure bootloader was leaked.
Note II, there was an exploit to flash an insecure bootloader as well.
As for both phones factory? The S3 came with a signed boot partition. Note II came with locked bootloader though.

if my verizon Gnex died today, i would probably ditch verizon and jump over to a nexus 4. the specs are good enough where i wont have phone envy any time soon. the size is just about right as i think the 5" phones are a little too big for me.
and there is just SOMETHING about stock android that i just love.
today? Nexus 4, specs are awesome for me and the price is just great!
Im planning on staying with Verizon, and I want to upgrade right now lol.
Went to the store today and played with the DNA and S3 and both were amazing. DNA is 200 and S3 is 100 bucks..
I love the way to DNA looks and feels, and i like sense. But currently there isnt any root for it, i don't think.
The S3 has a better camera, dual core, but its not even close to the benchmark scores to the DNA
DNA's benchmark was over 8k, S3 was at 3.k and my nexus, 1.7k.
WHAT DO I DO!?
Wait 2 weeks for s4 but it won't have Aosp. I said I wanted the one but the voice of reason (my brother) knows I love aosp so he is encouraging me to wait for cm.
