Fastest smoothest Android phone I've ever owned... smooth as butter... no catching up on scroll lists, no lag period. 4.0.4 is an amazing software upgrade. All bugs of 4.0.2 have been fixed. No auto brightness problems, screen rotation fast and smooth. Bluetooth is awesome, wifi is awesome, 3G/4G radio is awesome.
And best of all... I'm getting 40-50% more battery power... I feel like I'm in looove with my Galaxy nexus all over again...
4.0.4 is the update that Galaxy Nexus should have shipped with. Congrats to everyone at Google who had a part in bringing us this awesome software update... Congrats!
Forgot to say that the camera software on the 4.0.4 update has been improved 1000x over the one from 4.0.2... what an amazing update. Kudos to Google engineers.
My Galaxy Nexus which is stock O2 UK came up last night saying 4.0.4 was available. It dowloaded the 37MB and restarted but never installed the update. Any idea's?
I agree, Google did an amazing job with this OTA, I am also in love again with my Nexus

I must be one of the few that doesn't like it. My battery life is worse, the device has a slight lag and the touch sensitivity is off. And my GPS won't work any more after hammering for the OTA. I really need to do a full wipe and clean but I've got too much on the device at the moment.

Ya something went wrong. Save your things and factory reset or even reflash that thing.
I found the signal on 4.0.4 to be VASTLY better than 4.0.2.
One issue I found was something weird with scrolling. Sometimes it feels mushy, and I have to press down harder/move my finger longer.
Yes. 4.0.4 is quite good. The overall experience can be described as smooth. Loving it!
Yes... it is amazing... faster... one little lagg when change between calls, contacts and recent calls, but nothing compares with the previous version...
I'm loving it!!!
Yes, to me it is waaay better than 4.0.2. Everything is smooth and working well. Battery life is amazing.
for me it is also amazing. battery life amazing improvement on standby. snappy as well.. looking forward for a year full of such improvements!

Grabbed my brothers computer and did a complete wipe. So far so good. I still don't feel like it's super great, my 4.02 ran very, very well. Much testing in order.
I haven't noticed any difference.
The only thing I notice is that every Live Wallpaper except Phase Beam still lags...

Then you are not very attentive.
I've never understood the obsession of folks with their live wallpaper. History has shown that on most devices they suck. They suck battery bigtime, because fools are too busy looking at their live walls and going WOOOOOOOOOOOO.....! that their screen kills the battery.
Live wallpapers suck on this device. Get over it, nobody cares anymore.
Love everything about the ota except the color. Anyone else notice a color change? My phone got very beige whites after ota and auto brightness seems less responsive. Its like the gamma was messed up. Couldn't see well in bright sunlight anymore. Once I flashed one of morfics color corrected kernels it was better but I thought my phone was messed up. All white backgrounds were flat beige.

Not that I've seen
Actually the only thing I noticed after the upgrade is that I did not need to install Volume+ since the ringer became loud enough.
I have a couple questions. Stil havnt received my ota update. I used the clear cache trick which worked but when updating, I get a Droid with a red exclamation mark.
1) Is the lag over with lwp?
2) did they fix the keyboard auto correction for other languages , ie I am Dutch and when pressing on a Dutch word I get English corrections.
3) did they improve the stock browser which I like better than chrome because of in browser flash

Heya guys,
I've got the ever present upgrade itch that everyone here must know about......
I'm really looking into a good phone camera that has decent battery life as well since I can't always bring me DSLR with me around all the time.
How development and everything for the One X? Battery life? I'm looking specifically at the international version.
Thanks
Development is great. Some solid roms for this device within the first month. Can't imagine what it will be like in half a year or when there's an s-off exploit found. Obviously the phone has some great attraction for some of the features it carries and the design.
On ARHD rom right now I get about 18-22 hours of battery life moderate usage, light usage a couple of days, and heavy usage about 10 hours. I'm very satisfied with this phone. Some other people can drop there comments and let you know; also, there's an official reviews thread you should probably check out.

whats the screen time like when you use it heavily (as according to above 10hrs phone on but how long for screen?)
hmmm
any major bugs? I'd like to try sense out as the only HTC phone that I've used was my mum's Desire Z that I automatically flashed CM7 on back when she had it.
I've "heard" that there are some screen flickering issues and launcher reloading.....
any comments would be greatly appreciated
I've had my One X for 1.5 weeks now and zero problems whatsoever I get about 12-13hrs from the battery with 3-4h screentime

Here's some info on battery life. It's better than the GN. But the GN has the option of extended and replacable batteries which the One X doesn't.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25725630&postcount=25
As for the camera, I don't think it's finished yet. There's been discussion about noise and compression. Some of the pics I've taken in iffy light haven't been that great. The h/w's there I think the s/w needs some tweaking. If you could live with the camera on the GN the One X will be a step up.

Watch reviews and videos about the s3 vs One x phones..then make your decision. I would say One X. Good phone solid great specs and if you are a gamer you will be happy with the Tegra 3 chip...Battery life is solid so far no complaints. Development i am sure it will pick up...So its down to you my friend

I'm definitely let down by the S3....its seems so similar in many ways to the GNexus that I wouldn't consider it as an "upgrade". I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people without smartphones though.
the HTCOX screams of something desirable to me.......still hesitant though right now
keep those comments flowing in please

The 10 hours probably around 5-6 hours of continuous screen display running videos, games, and other tasks. No sense issues at all except for it uses a lot more battery than pure ics. The screen flickering is unconfirmed as to what is the underlying issue (software or hardware) related. HTC is looking into the screen flickering right now, and launcher reloading I've never had.
I'd say wait 1 month.
QC issues iron over time. S-OFF is not ready as yet. The lack of such 'freedom' will be shocking to a GN user.
Custom ROMs for this device are excellent both in quality and quantity. This is a very popular handset, thus community support is very high.
Battery life is really good. Depending on screen usage you can get 1.5 days usage easy. Heavy usage will obviously reduce that by a lot.

OK so I have a galaxy nexus and got it on launch back in november. I picked up a one x because I really liked the look of it, but so far I can't decide which phone to keep.
The One X is great because it’s lovely to hold, has a fantastic screen and a very decent camera. But the software lets it down – and that’s not some lazy complaint. I’ve owned the phone for two weeks. Whilst Sense 4.0 is a big improvement over previous versions, I still struggle to find any part of it where it’s better than stock ICS, except perhaps the lockscreen which allows multiple targets. But that functionality is common in custom ICS ROMs anyway.
Stock ICS is, I feel, about as good as Android could be at the moment. This makes having to put up with the unnecessary ‘embellishments’ and changes on the One X is frustrating. HTC’s launcher is also considerably laggier than the stock Android 4.0 launcher, and whilst installing Nova launcher helps, I’m not sure why HTC felt the need to use their own anyway.
I must say I totally agree with The Verge’s conclusion on the One X – with stock ICS, it could be the best Android phone ever. Until then… Im just not sure which phone to keep!

I'm in the same position, I'm really not sure which one to keep either - I suspect I will still be saying the same in two months time though!
HTC should have gone out on a limb and developed a dual boot - let the users decide whether they want to run sense or stock.

Yeah I've had the phone nearly a month and still can't decide! Argh
Someone's developing a CM9 port over at Modaco and it's getting close to finished (just a few bugs left to squash). So if it's good enough, I might just install it and sell the Nexus.

any other comments? battery, camera, screen etc? usability?
I've only used an older version for a few minutes, but on the surface everything works fine. It's mostly just odd bugs they're sorting out now. I'd link the thread, but things are a bit iffy between XDA and the developer at Modaco.
Either way, back on my GNex now and it feels like an old friend. Love this phone.
Hi everyone
I made this discussion to explain why we should update to JB Although we know ICS is better for us
Battery, camera, wifi and 2g is better works on ICS
So, I did not find anything distinctive call me for the update
because ics is and always was a load of poo?

Why do you need to create a thread? It's a waste of space. Use the existing JB thread. Besides, your thesis statement is extremely poor. Sony fixed all the bugs you mentioned with .96 .

Phone is more fluid on JB, enough for me to update.
Also more apps are compatibile in google play (stronger API)
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
it's up to you. if you want to update just update . if you want to stay just stay. everybody have they own opinion.
I've updated to JB because the feature implemented by google, like google now, project butter, etc.
and I don't have problem with battery, camera, wifi, 2g in JB. I can accept battery life and camera quality in JB. wifi is good, and i'm barely touch 2G since i live in the middle of city with a lot of 3G signal.
however, you can try latest JB update from sony (even some custom ROM). but if you are not happy, then you can go back to ICS whenever you want. you're not forced to use JB anyway.

Yes both camera and battery life is superb on JB.....i found problem in video recording which is solved by LG Camera App....check That thread of mine for more info........
Because yes.
Maybe you should stick with GB . And I'm serious here, Bravia Engine works on unlocked bootloaders, it's probably the least memory intensive stock OS you can get, so not as much apps getting closed and camera was also arguably the best on GB roms. I'd never want to use a 3 year old OS, but if full functionality is your deal, maybe that's the way to go.
ICS is one big lagfest. That people are still complaining about the .96 update is because people just like complaining and they forget easily. I haven't seen one proper side-by-side comparison of the ICS vs JB firmware, so what can you base your judgment on? If you think Google Now doesn't negatively affect the battery, you're naive. But luckily you can disable that (it's not even on by default). Your phone is also getting older, it's very possible that your battery performs less good than a year ago, that might cost you 30-60 minutes in battery life by now. If you'd compare battery life under heavy usage between .96 and .55, there probably won't be any difference because the screen drains the most. I couldn't tell you how long the phone lasts if you barely touch it, because I use it too much for that. And any standby battery drain is for me easily worth it because JB is just so much snappier. I also almost never go 4 hours without a plug near me (and that's being hyperbolic, I just charge at night and that suffices).
And about the camera focusing slowly, it has done that on every firmware I've ever had on this phone. I remember reading the reviews before buying my XS, and journalists were complaining about the focusing time, now have it more than 12 months. It's possible that ICS .50 and .55 were a little better but it was never a strong point.
But I barely tried the .96 update since I upgraded to OpenSEMC a day or 2 after the .96 release. Infinite customizing lured me away .

10 hours was not normal at all. You're getting very bad results that noone else is getting. I'd check your apps, maybe do a clean installation. Also the results of the first day don't mean much because the phone is syncing a lot at the beginning. And disable Google Now.

Google Now is a battery nightmare, disable it unless you actively use it.
I want to try android and I can get this phone in a trade. I have a few quick questions.
How is battery life?
Is this phone receiving updates?
Has anyone switched from iOS to this phone how's the experience?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Stock ROM battery life is great, Custom ROM's is hit and miss but for the most they do really well.
The phone is sitting on 4.1.2 and in all honesty it prob. won't get updated any further, however with that said user's are running 4.3 custom ROM's as a daily driver.
I haven't had a iPhone, I do own several ipods ranging from the first to Gen.5 touch, I can say that with the experience of owning those and the experience of owning numerous android devices, I have no desire to own a iPhone.
Good luck with your choice and perhaps we will see you cross over into the dark side...

I don't believe you will see similar battery life to the iPhone on ANY Android phone. They are very different OS's and as such battery drain is understandably different. That said, this phone has very good if not great battery life. It is subject of course to your use and needs. If you have the screen on all day, it's going to drain fast. If you use wifi tether, or leave wifi on when there is no wifi to connect to that's also going to significantly affect battery life. If you want to use Google Now or some other app that runs as a constant process in the background, you may not see great battery life.
That said, I have recently uninstalled some apps I don't use a whole lot, and disabled Google Now (I didn't use it that much) and on a custom ROM I am seeing 12-15 hours battery life with moderate use.
As previous responder stated, don't expect any more updates from LG. They may come, but it's always best to keep expectations low so you can be surprised. If you have plans to root, this community is great and we have had relatively bug-free releases of the most recent versions of Android within a few weeks of their release.

To be really honest, you will have a better experience switching from an Iphone to a Galaxy S3 or S4. The LGOG community is small and even though its solid it can make finding the answers you need a bit difficult. If you are looking to get into the custom rom scene, then i would recommend a more popular phone for your first rodeo.
I had the iPhone 5...went to the gs4 and it sucked....traded it for a lgog and I'm loving it...its a great android device....way better than the iphone 5 and gs4....IMO...
I get 12+ hrs medium usage
Stock setup is awesome
And now carbon ROM is awesome.

Not really answering your questions, but just wanted to say that the build quality is very similar. Feels great in the hand, nice glass back, good weight. Figured that might be a question because iPhones are known for having a good feel.

Battery life is a hit and miss...some days I can get 12+ hours with moderate use. I remember one day it lasted 26 hours. ?. All of my friends with iPhones want my phone for its camera. We may not be getting any OS updates but rooting is easy so you can update it yourself. I highly recommend the LGOG...or you could wait for the LG G2 which is coming out mid-late September.

26 hours in one day! They should put that in their advertisements.
With little use ive gotten 2 days out of one charge and this is on shellnuts cm10.2.
I dunno what an iPhone is like as I've never had one. I do know I can do almost anything with my phone. I build weather monitoring systems for a living and its cooll I don't need a laptop cause I can telnet to the systems with my android. My biggest complaint about any smartphone is why can't I print. We have a WiFi printer at my work and I have to copy and email myself to print info. Stupid...I can stream over HDMI cables but not print?

Hi everyone. I've just gotten the lollipop ota update on my Rogers One m8. I've been wondering, how good is the battery life for the m8 on 5.0.1? Is it worse than 4.4.4 or better? This will determine whether I update or not. Thanks!

Just upgraded to Lollipop yesterday, and I haven't used it long enough to tell. However, my M8 also has the issue of GPS turning on EVERY freaking time it unlocks. Extremely annoying and can't be good for the battery life.

For me battery is same or better than 4.4.4

I'd say, its alteast 20-25% better than what kitkat offered.

How does it convert into screen on time? I'm on 4.4.4, and its not as good as it had been when I bought the phone
Hey guys, I'm planning to buy this beast but I'm coming from an LG g2 and I'm a bit worried about battery life, I know HTC is really optimized and stuffs, but could you guys post a few screens?
Thanks.

There already a thread in the M8 General section, where battery life is discussed ad nauseum, with screenshots galore. I think that thread has all you want, and more.
Battery life is really subjective. It depends a lot on your specific usage patterns, and local cell reception. You mileage can (and will) vary from that reported by other users. So IMO discussion of battery life is fairly pointless.
I agree that battery life is subjective. However, it might be useful to relate that subjective perception. In my case, right after the update, I felt that the battery life was much worse and the device in general became laggy. Since then I did two factory resets and now the battery life is OK, although I still did not reinstall Facebook, which many people claim is a big battery eater on Lollipop. The responsiveness of the device has also improved after the second reset. Somehow during the second reset the nu player got selected and after I disabled it in the developers options the device is running well. Strange that happened like this.
But even with these recent improvements, I still don't see the point in the update. if I could go back in time with what I know now, I would not update. Kit Kat worked well and Lollipop did not bring any significant improvements.

And I've been running Lollipop with Facebook, and battery life is great, and very similar to KitKat. No lag like others report, and while the update is not much of a change, there are some new features, and certainly nothing is "worse".
A very different (even conflicting) experience, and there you start to see where discussions on battery life aren't very useful.
There is already a massive discussion in General HERE
It makes absolute sense to continue there..
