I don't have it yet but I'll be coming from the at&t GS2. To me dev support is extremely important. So what better phone to have than the nexus.

I currently still have the s2 as well, I kept it just incase I changed my mind, but never use it now, just love this phone!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Ditto , I kept my s2 thinking I might want to go back to it but I love the GN so have decided to sell my s2.

Both amazing devices, but the nexus is in incredible. Go nexus.

Yeh still got my gs2 but to me I brows the internet and watch videos a lot so screen Res was a major thing for me, also honestly the s2 looked a little like the ip4 also had that, would pic the gn over the ip4 and the gs2 any day, I also notice less issues on the forums with this phone with the gs2 it was full of buggs lucky I just had some battery drain but that was it. Get the gn its a great phone.

I have no regrets whatsoever getting the Nexus.
The higher screen resolution is a plus for me...as I like to pick the smallest fonts possible to put more info on screen.
The Nexus feels better in hand probably due to the slight curve in design.

K before the store opens I know you guys think I jumped the gun and made my decision on one comment but it seems likea war between s2 lovers vs prime lovers and you hear so many good answers just so hard to tell who is telling the truth or they are just making up ****. also wanna say is that Im not that good with phones meaning that I I'm not going to root or put custom roms on it also is it also true that the nexus won't sync up with computer but it syncs everything automatically to a cloud kinda like icloud if? I like how easy the s2 works please help I'm messed up
Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk

meaning is the s2 easier to use than the nexus cause I payed 600 for the s2 and only have tool pay an extra 50 to get the nexus

GTA 3 now $1 in the Play Store

I know it's not G Nex specific, but good info for someone who has not been wanting to pay $5 for the app.
They are having a Memorial Day sale. The price goes back up to $5 on Monday.

Thanks for posting it.
I'm torn about this game though. The virtual control is terrible and I could never play through the game enjoyably with that. I could connect a PS3 controller to it, but in that case I might as well just play the PS2 version on a bigger screen.
I could see this being worthwhile if you don't have a PS2/PS3 and your primary gaming device is your phone connected by MHL... but otherwise...

For a buck i think i will grab it

Got it a few hours ago and have downloaded all the files. I'll play it when I get home though.

Just got it. Seems to run smooth on galaxy nexus

Thanks! Just got it.

I downloaded, it's a memory oinker. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but I noticed once it starts it doesn't want to stop.

I can't get it too run with the latest cm9 nightly and Franco's nightly 165.

I really enjoy it on my HP TouchPad. I think the controls might be a little difficult to use on smaller devices, as it was with my Nexus S, but the galaxy is about as small of of device as I'd want to use.

Definitely worth $1. Seems to run very well.

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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

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

The best game you will ever play

Hey guys I just want to share a game that ITS completely worth the money, its by far the best game I ever played on my Android device ( and Ive played a lots of them ).
Im not promoting it or anything like that becouse I didnt create it, I just want to let you know that its a great and adictive game, it runs perfectly on the nexus and the graphics are beautiful indeed.
Its called Rayman Jungle Run

NBA 2K13. but its a bit laggy for gnex :/
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

That game didn't work on my Gnex
I would download the required files through the app and nothing

Just got rayman jungle run, noticed its number 1 on new paid game list, so its quite popular at the moment, like it so far but like most mobile games it only offers minimal levels an short gameplay but good otherwise, android games certainly won't replace your psvita or 3ds handheld just yet.

hey Sonic is that you ? :laugh:

Im just sharing my opinion about what I think its the best game I ever play since its really simple but absolutely challenging at the same time besides the beautiful graphics as well. Dont take it to serious folks

Its an awesome game and uns perfectly on my galaxy nexus, no lags at all,'
running on stock

Great Little War Game and Great Big War Game. You can easily spend hours playing. A bit of a battery hog though.

I have to admit I am addicted to Rayman Jungle Run. It is way to much fun and adds a lot of replay value trying to get every sprite-esque thing and its way to easy to control. In addition, Jetpack Joy Ride, Bad Piggies, and Granny Smith are all equally addicting.

Jet pack Joyride by: half brick. It's free, fast and fun.

I play uplink on my Acer Iconia A500 but can't install it on my Galaxy Nexus and would like too. It's for Tablet only and I'm using Paranoid Android and would like a hint to bypass the tablet only feature and install it on my Gnex at least to try it even if it might be too small.
Thanks everyone.

Better keep your money for next new nexus model. Not much different.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

keep ur money and wait for the new one.

Not much of an upgrade....save your money for the NX5/Moto X
The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries

If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.
It even features the custom roms:

I've had the GalNex for about a year and I recently jumped to the N4. I can tell you that you WILL notice a performance jump. I'm not sure why but GN lags when it's running 4.2.
If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.
