Sprint navigation

I'm running 2. 2 stock and noticed Sprint navigation is now a lite version and for the turn by turn its 9. 99 a month. What's up with that

your wrong, thats what, haha.
IDC if it says its 9.99, subscribe and you will not get charged anyway.
sprint nav glitch's out like that all the time on new phones, new updates and hard resets.

Uhh, why are you using Sprint Navigation? Google's Navigation is, IMO (and the opinioin of EVERYONE I talk to) far superior, and guaranteed free.

Search Google--this problem hit a bunch of people, including me. Suddenly my mac was 2.8 Lite just when I needed traffic (Thu). It's fixed itself since, although it might have the power cycles I did Friday to get USB tether working.
As for why Sprint Nav vs Google-live traffic, better route options.

I think Sprint is better.

Sprint nav has been more accurate for me. I used both to visit a friend in Arlington and noticed the directions were different at the very end to get to his house. I followed google nav directions but it just sent me in a circle. Switched back to Sprint nav and it took me to the house no problems.
Your mileage may vary, and it's probably dependent on location. The subdivision that I went to was fairly new, maybe 6-7 years old.

Thanks for all the feedback, Sprint navigation did go back to normal, not sure why or what triggers the lite version to show up. My wifes Evo and mine did it the same time I found it weird they both did it together. I have tried Google maps its nice and all. But I'm not ready for change i like sprints version and I'm use to it. It took me awhile to like android. I still miss my Windows phone and if Sprint have a phone with 4+ inch screen with Windows 6. 5 id take it. I don't like a lot of change. Although I do love my evo

Best navigation?

Hey I'm very happy with my Google navigation. But there was an issue that I thought I wouldn't have anymore. I lost my data connection due to a rally event deep in PA today. What's the best navigation that doesn't require a data connection? I used to use Co piolet back in the day.

I've been trying to get a good app too. I wish they had tomtom for Android... Hopefully soon....

Well im sure you know google maps is kinda 3 apps mixed in to one but ive seen on cnet . com was apps that you can DL the maps you wanted for offline Nav

Maverick is really good and you can download maps for use offline
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

I love Sygic, stopped trying others long ago, NDrive was nice but pricey, CoPilot had some bad ideas for my hometown (wrong way on one way streets, inaccurate destinations, etc).... however, my testing was over a year ago, and things improve. I bought two licenses on sale previously, use it on my phone and tablet.

Really thinking about getting a Nexus but...

I currently have a g2x still, however it is driving me insane lately. It really chaps my arse paying so much each month for a phone that is just so buggy. My biggest gripe although not huge to alot of people is the gps on the thing. It SUCKS. always has. Anyway that is my question, How is the gps on the nexus. I used to use navigation quite a bit on my phone but since the g2x sucks I can't really use it. I'm sorry if there are many posts about it but I'm on vacation and my internet time is very limited. (wife and kids are napping. lol) Thanks for any advise guys.

GPS works fine.

Not the best but still works awesome. No complaints.
butter and jelly please...

My wife literally locks on within 5 seconds, even when I'm in my house heading out. It was much faster for sure than my G2 (previous phone).

GPS on GN is excelent

The GPS hardware on the GN is really accurate, my complaint is with the way it handles phone calls when you are using navigation. When a call comes in the phone app jumps to the foreground, when the phone call ends the phone app stays up. To add insult to injury the screen then goes blank. I've gone back to my Garmin.

GNEX gps is lightning.
Out of the box it was quicker than any i had used before.
After installing AOKP and radio xxla2 i can lock on to 7-10 satellites (normally 8or9) in well under 10 sec's.
I believe it is a European radio, but I live in New Zealand and was recently in Thailand which locked on to 7/8 satellites in under 10 sec's
I have now installed the JB radio with the same results but a better phone signal.

Thanks for the responses guys. It kinda irks me to buy a phone add old as the nexus... But it's a great deal IMO, and I really need something. This G2x is driving me crazy.

The hardware is oldish and has lower specs than some phones now....
But probably the fist phone to receive 4.1 + 4.1.1
The support for the phone is fantastic and the dev's here at xda are non-stop adding features,stability and speed.
Tools, Roms, Kernels, Radios.... will be developed on this phone first.
Outta the box a good phone, the guys at xda make it a f#%*$n great phone.

I just got mine a month ago. My requirements were AMOLED and 720p screen, and the Nexus is still my choice if I were to buy one now. The only time I'll be feeling the need to upgrade again is when they release a phone with an AMOLED 720p using the RGB sub pixel layout. In the Nexus line anyways, I can't be on the update backburner now after being first in line.
processor/gpu, meh, it's a touchscreen only phone, I don't use it for high end gaming. Otherwise all the high end phones perform pretty damn similar the rest of the time, regardless whether it's quad or dual core.

Ordered it this morning. Now I'll play the waiting game.

This phone's specs have been passed and will be floored by others in the next year, but as a Nexus phone, it'll always be relevant.

What are you doing with your Galaxy Nexus? I'm bored of mine :(

I guess I am creating this thread because, to be honest, I am quite bored of my Galaxy Nexus.
I want to be using my phone all the time, but I guess I just don't know how to do it. What are people doing on their phones these days after they've customized it to their exact preference?
What apps are people using?
Disappointing, but this is about 99% of my GNex's usage.
1) Phone
2) Google Voice to Texting
3) Browsing tech sites, reddit, forums and downloading Movies from RLSLOG
4) No games (only Temple run 2)
5) Emails
6) Pandora for music
7) Watch downloaded movies
8) GPS for navigation
9) Flashed roms
10) Wifi tethering my SmartTV to netflix.
I don't really have much apps. I don't do social media such as twitter or facebook. I don't follow anyone's else lives.
Sometimes I turn on the phone's screen just for the sake of turning the phone's screen on without any real use.
I must either be bored of the GNex, or I am simply not using my phone to it's full potential (which I want to!)
What are people doing these days? Are they taking another language course on their phone? Watching youtube all day?
I am waiting for Ubuntu to release their Android image so my eyes can be glued to my phone again. I wish there was a Windows Phone 8 Port so I can mess with that too. Then there's WebOS port which doesn't seem to have any development anymore.
Please, your tips would be welcomed.

congrtas you are one of the sane ones.

Go outside and look at the snow briefly. Then come back inside.

If you customized it completely to your preference it's time to wipe and flash something new, of course!

I use it similar to the way you use it, but hell if I want my eyes to be glued to my phone all day long. Bored? Find a girlfriend. Or a hobby.

A phone is a tool, it suppose to assist you when you need it. It is not your social life nor is it suppose to replace it.

I actually havent touched it since I got my s3 for dirt cheap :/

Try building a rom for the gnex? I just recently learned how to build from source following one of the how to guides, for cm10 and so next is learning to cherry pick

I think you answered your own question. "When you get your phone to exact preference."
I personally keep chasing the flashing. I have never had a custom ROM setting or kernel perfect. Everyday new updates come out and makes me want to explore other ROMs,kernels,themes,mods etc.
Here's what I did. Flash rasbean jelly with lean, then the new 4.2.1 update came for sprint so I got that, flashed paranoid, went back to stock 4.0.4 and installed the OTAs, then learned adb and flash update manually. I'm completely stock 4.2.1 and I want to go to rasbean because they just updated today. Awesome beats just came out with V4, and next I seen a theme that imitates the Ubuntu os.
I don't think I can ever be happy with my phone again. And when I mean happy that means locked boot loader. Its like crack, once you try it (unlock) you get hooked and keep coming back for more.
Does anyone else feel like this or should I go seek help?

Completely acceptable if you ask me. But almost all my techie stuff (phone, tablet, android sticks, routers, tv-watching box/pvr) is flashed with some kind of Linux, so perhaps I'm not the right person to answer this...
Verstuurd vanaf een Galaxy Nexus met CM10

Using it ? Just broke 310 hours without reboot. Running stock 4.1.2, stock kernel, rooted.
Being 3 years in the scene, I got bored with modifying and basically I did it on previous devices because they were lacking something. GN + JB doesn't.

When i find that im getting bored of my phones i usually fire up the Camera and begin putting the camera through its paces trying to take great pics at awkward angles and all that, lol, or i just start browsing for new HD games to buy.

I have quite a few apps, but honestly they never get used..probably titanium backup and root explorer are my most used one...bored with galaxy? start flashing roms..

I'll be honest, I bought my galaxy nexus by accident (thought I would be outbid on ebay ) and I have been an avid iPhone user. I became interested in the android platform due to the upcoming linux port, and the nexus is starting to warm up on me. I've mainly been using the tethering feature which I was not able to use on my iPhone 5 because of the carrier restrictions.

I'm in the same boat, but I received a beta invite to INGRESS a few weeks ago and it has changes my daily commutes. I've been hacking and attacking portals.
A little warning: Since it's a GPS augmented reality game with 3D effects, it sucks the life out of your battery.

When I get bored with the Twitter's and Facebook, I end up trying different ROMs and/or finding ways to make it work more efficiently (e.g. NFC tags and profiles). However, there's always time for Bejeweled.

I use my phone the way the op describes.
Dropped my gnex and it has a nasty crack in the screen... so I'm giving it a break and using another device in the meantime.
No longer bored with the gnex because I'm not using it . When I get re-bored of my sgs2, it'll be nexus time again.

Who's upgraded from Note 3?

Hi Guys
I know a couple of members have upgraded from the Note 3 but I'm still undecided.
I've become a little bored of the Note now because I've had it since launch but I'm a big fan of carrying spare batteries and the screen size.
Those of you that's upgraded, are you missing anything from the Note? I'm going away on holiday soon and I won't have a tablet so will the M8 suffice to watch a few quick movies etc?
Thanks!
