Just figured I'd share my addiction story amongst my fellow Android kin who would understand. I'm addicted to the Nexus line. I literally own everything ever made that says Nexus on it (other than the Q, but they pulled that pretty quickly).
I always think I'm going to sell a device and move on to the next one, but for some reason I keep hoarding them and never getting rid of them.. I have no idea why. Attached are some pictures.
And yes, I have 2 GNexii, one is for every day stable use and the other one is for discovering new features before they're ready for prime time
Today I bought a Nexus 4, but somehow convinced myself that I don't need Nexus 10 since I'm so happy with my Nexus 7. Whew, dodged that bullet!
I realize this is off-topic and not exactly productive in any way, but I figured who else would understand if not this bunch.
EDIT: I'm sure you all already know this, but just in case: Clockwise from top left - Nexus One, Nexus 7, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus. All carrier unlocked.
At least its not drugs.

I can understand perfectly. The only thing i don't have in your picture is the nexus s. I made a mistake in selling it. Have nexus one, nexus 7, 2 gnex and waiting for nexus 4. It's not an addiction. It's a passion. Hehehe

Ran into an odd situation, if I swap physical phones on my account can I do it while being touted on CM10 or would I have to go back to stock? Thanks on Sprint

Do you mean getting a new phone on the same Google account or..?

Yep I used an upgrade on one of my 5 phones and want to swap devices. Not sure if I need to go stock so when they re provision with numbers things go smoothly

Should be fine as is.
You don't need to be stock to swap plans or move devices around to other lines in your account.
The only time you want to revert to stock is if for a warranty repair through the carrier. A lot of times they don't even care but a rom can introduce weird bugs that can be mistaken for hardware malfunctions.

Someone wants to trade me a T-Mobile Note 2 new condition with $100 and someone else wants to trade me a White IPhone 5 and $70. Which one should I do?? I need the money that's why I'm doing one but I don't know which one I should do. Help me out with some serious opinions on which one please.

IPhone 5 because it will continue to receive support and updates from apple for another 2-3 years, the note 2 will become forgotten about when the note 3 comes out

Definitely the Note 2. And that trade doesn't make sence. it should be more like Note 2 and 100 or iPhone 5 and 125.
So I should get the Note 2? Alright I think I'm going to then
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
note all the way. you couldn't pay me to use an iphone
The Note 2 is the better option. Go for it.

I would also recommend the note 2 but make sure you put your sim in there first to make sure they havent filed an insurance claim.
I would also call tmobile to inform them that you are getting the phone frombthe registered account holder so that once you leave they dont call and claim it was lost or stolen.
This happens all the time especially with craigslist transactions.
Guy sells/trades phone, calls tmobile pays $175 for insurance, gets new phone, buyer gets stuck with a bad imei.
Just a heads up
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
What he said ^^ with the new installment plans if the guys doesnt pay off the phone you will be stuck in a worse situation than u are now. Get the imei and call tmo make sure its paid off
As far as note 2 vs iphone 5... you may want to consider size... I tried the note 2 and gave up after a few months is its definately a niche device... the size of the iphone is way more realistic, but if you're like me and must have android then get the note, if money is an issue im sure you wont have a problem getting an s3 plus 125

IPhone will continue to receive support from apple, like software updates. The screen may be small and iOS may seem dull but give it a shot. The iPhone plus 150 cash is a great deal. 4g lte won't work

Hey guys I'm getting a new device in a few months. And my choice is weather the nexus 4 or the galaxy s4. So I'm wondering would you reccomend the s4 and if possible tell me some of the features you like about it. Even though I'll be building/flashing custom ROMs/kernel on what ever device I get I would still like to know some of the features you guys like so I can decide on which device to get
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
Tough to answer right now, in the next few months a few more new phones should be out. The Note 3, the nexus 5, the Moto X, maybe the LG G2, who knows what else...
Today? If your looking for the most powerful device in TMo's current lineup, price be damned, then the S4. If your on a budget, the Nexus 4 is just fine.
Note 3. I'll be getting it when it comes out and keeping my s4

Price doesn't matter much. Because my dad told me if I get good grade after my first trimester back at school he will buy me any phone I want. Since every one else in my family upgraded and I'm stuck with my olld sgs vibrant. And if the new nexus is out by then than I'll problebly get that bit I've been lookin at the s4 and the n4
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
S4 because it can be a higher powered nexus device if you want it to me. I converted my s4 to a s4 Google play edition and I'm on 4.3 and will get updates just as nexus devices do...

Get the nexus 4 or wait two months and get the 5. I like the s4, but I don't use most of its features. I really love the screen tough.

Depending on provider be careful which S4 you get.... I have the Verizon S4 and the latest OTA has the device locked down like fort Knox.
No custom roms or root at the moment. I would say the Moto X (which I also have) is very similar to your gnex.
You may want to hold out and see what drops in the coming months.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I agree with bajasur. Just wait another month or so and see what's coming out. We might still have hope of the nexus 5 on Verizon. I'm just waiting on the word from Google to see what the plans for the N5 are going to be. If not I would go with the S4 as my next phone. The moto x looks nice and it is close to vanilla android but the camera really disappoints me. I would say check both forums and see what they have going on there.

N5 would be nice on vzw I love the screen on the s4 its phenominal i have a n4 for my work phone and its "ok" im not allowed to root or rom it though.
If the next Nexus doesn't come to big red, I'm going for the Note 3. I love my Gnex and I love the nexus community, but it's starting to get long in the tooth.
Will be a great hand-me-down to my girlfriend, though! Her LG Lucid makes me throw up in my mouth when I use it.
My Galaxy Nexus died, so I opted for the S4 Google Play Edition. It's as close as you can get to a Nexus phone that has a removable battery and microSD card slot. I'm really pleased with the choice. I am keeping it stock, though I've rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed CWM recovery.
If I were in your position, I'd probably wait to see what the Nexus 5 looks like before buying a new phone. But if you want to act now, the S4 GPE is a great phone.

Nexus 5 will be faster than any android devices except for the ones who share the same class of SoC !
Nexus 5 has already been said to out perform the S4 an note 3 plus every other android device so you may want to wait for tha, the S5 will be out early 2014 anyway.
I'm going to grab the Nexus 5. I'd go for the Moto X but it's battery life and CPU won't give it the two year lifespan I need from a phone.
Another vote for Moto X. But I'd wait to see what the next nexus looks like.
