You should try the electronic cigarettes. Everyone that I know that has tried them has eventually quit.

Congrats on your VZW Nexus device. What is your first initial impression on the phone? How does it feel in the hand? Screen? OS buttery smooth? Did you and ur bus account rep discuss a release date for the general public?
can you tell us if any of the GSM hacks don't work on the Verizon GN?

Love the phone! Honestly needs extended battery bad!
When I first got the phone had problems with my exchange email. Had to update cert on server side for it to work very odd.
I start the day off at 6 am I do use my phone a lot for work. Had to put this bad boy on the charger right after lunch 1pm. I had rezound with extend battery lasted all day!
OS is super fantastic ! Running 4.0.1. Just got Facebook update same Facebook look as iPhone (gf has iPhone)loved rezound syncing pics with Facebook.nexus does no have this feature as of yet. I'm using an app to sync them for now.
tried face unlock today! It sucked camera on front has no light so its very hard to read your face at least it was for me. Have to be in a well lit room for it to work.
Got it yesterday morning so only two days using it. To bad 4g LTE is no workie workie .

Well when I first got it I did the GSM unlock boot loader worked perfect! Oh make sure you download the right USB drivers took me a little to find the one that worked.
Next did the root worked perfect!
Next tried the GSM hack / mod for percentage battery showing increments on 1% that's when everything with south. Notification bar disappeared and a lot of fc! Good thing I did a backup!

Congrats on getting your hands on a CMDA Nexus.
Did you have any trouble buying it or getting it activated before Verizon has officially announced it? Seems like they are trying to keep this phone locked down pretty tight.

My guess is that the poor battery is due to the 4G outage. My TB battery life is usually pretty decent, but since 4G went down it's been dropping like a rock.
Can you tell us if the sim card is indeed a Micro-SIM?
Do you have 16gb or 32gb?

I changed this into a my progress thread. I have verizon and insurance.
I tested everything on the phone over a 24hr period. And here is progress.
Still using phone 2 as of now.
Phone 1 - random reboots.
Phone 2 - proximity sensor failure, vertical banding
Phone 3 - 2-3 screen purple, loses full signal and data then comes back. Few times a day. Basically like a ping out. Timeout. Whatever.
Phone 4 - coming tomorrow 8-15 maybe this one will be good!
Phone four is good so far! No data drops. Good screen. Korean model.

okay so i have verizon, i went back stock to warranty my phone locked it back up and everything, called verizon and they are sending a refurb to my house overnight.
question is, i'm ocd about my phones, they say its a refurb and they don't know if its been used and has gone over a 100 point inspection. but has the screen ever been touched and such? scratched etc.??
im sending back because i have issues with proximity sensor in the phone and defect screen.
this is going to be my third replacement, my second however i did within the 14 days of buying the phone so they gave me a new one off the shelf.

I've had 14 replacements. I've had only one that didn't look brand new and that was due to the protectors shifting when it shipped. They are pristine when you get them.

I got my phone replaced once for screen ghosting. I'm almost certain this "refurb" is BRAND NEW. They even re-apply the oliophobic coat. I'm very pleased with Verizons return department and I'm pretty sure the lemons people got weren't verizons fault.

whats this coat your talking about?
my first replacement was within the 14 day period, my phone was randomly rebooting every day.
this is going to be my third nexus, this time proximity sensor doesn't function even after recalibration and such.
i'm just worried that i'm going to get a phone worse off then my current. since there are so many bad ones out there, and i've heard of horror stories of refurb nexus's on youtube and such.
I would trust a refurb from Verizon over a new unit. They're all tested thoroughly and any parts replaced are new...
You would think that however there are tons of people who go through more then four replacements trying to get a good one from Verizon. There are videos of un boxing and having issues from first power on.

Got my first replacement today everything is working as intended so far.
Edit. Only thing I can find is sometimes radio timeout. I'm on jelly bean. And it'll say full service and 4G or whatever and then ill try to do something with Internet and ill lose service completely timeout and it'll reconnect.
Is this normal? Gonna test it for another day before I return.

when one reports to Verizon about a fault in the phone and they send you a refurb/recertified phone, do I send them my current phone first or I can just sit on it and ask for a replacement and just walk to a verizon store and return there?

You have 5 days or so to ship the faulty phone back upon receiving your new phone. They pay for the shipping both ways. If it is faulty just tell them you have already wiped data etc....battery pull blah blah blah so they don't make u do it and you aren't tied up on the phone. So glad I pay the $6.99 for TEC from asurion on both my lines. This process the few times I have had to do it is relatively painless.

90% of warranty exchanges are garbage.
Just got it and it looks like a stuck pixel. It sure is tiny. Would you guys exchange it? My wife says I'm crazy.
If you're going to notice it all the time, then I'd say to go for it. You don't want it to keep bothering you when you're outside of the return period.

I had a dead red pixel in the middle of the screen when I first got mine. I figured if it's going to bug me might as well get it replaced. No issues going through Google and Samsung to get a new one, which is dead pixel free. This was within the first 14 days.

what phone should I get? I was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus or the S3. and the new Photon 4 G L T E is definitely out of the question since they lock that down tight! I'm kind of leaning towards S3. I would like to get to peoples thoughts and opinions on this before I make the decision. since I don't have any of these phones.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.

All Note 2's are made in a more or less same way. How many times did you have to Exchange Your Note 2 with a new one as a result of manufacturing defects?
If you had to exchange (replace), explain.
Thanks
Once. I received a white one when I requested gray. After 2 weeks with the white, I returned it and requested the gray.
I have returned a few for quality issues with the bezel.
Had 1 return for the center button real loose and unresponsive. This one is perfect!

I haven't exchanged mine, but I've noticed that my home button has gotten really "clicky" lately. It still works fine, but it makes a sporadic clicking noise now & its kind of wiggly. If it gets any worse, I may have to exchange it. I hope I don't have to though, after the nightmare I went through with my Transformer I'm sick of exchanging electronics. *fingers crossed*
I had to do an exchange once for a screen quality issue. But so far this new one is good.
the only time i exchanged a phone in recent years was with the Galaxy S1 because of it's crappy GPS. Ofcourse changing it didn't help.
Those that did an exchange; what was your experience like? Was it with TMobile over the phone or store?
Never.

Yea I guess you're right . out of 5 million sold I saw maybe 2-3 on here and even a couple of those were rooted roms
I have not had any issues as of yet. The only thing is a piece of the plastic chrome by the power button has come off. Not sure if its worth replacement. I also do not know if I could still do an instore exchange as ive had the phone for almost 2 mos now. Maybe it would be worth looking into as its just the one spot and the rest of the phone seems to be flawless. Id just be nervous about getting a refurb back.
I am also not happy thatthey did not have screen protectors when I got mine, so I have scratches on the top of the screen, but hidden by my current screen protector
Original one had a blue color kinda burt into screen about half an inch long.
Exchanged mine 12 timea
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
Lol, Merry Christmas.
I must say there are definitely some quality variations between the carrier-branded Note 2's and international Note 2's. I wonder why...
