Another bug, Try locking the phone while you have an active call. As soon as you unlock, the screen shuts off and you can't ever unlock it again until the person on the other end hands up.
Just make sure you test it with a phone you can manually hang up on the other end or you might have to wait till the battery goes flat to end the call lol. Not looking forward to my bill this month!

This is my brothers One X. He said if he can't get a stable Senseless vanilla ROM on it, he's replacing it with the Lumia 900 as soon as it hits Vodafone. Too many bugs and slow updates!

Here's one. If you have the phone set to end calls with the off switch and are using BT, when the screen goes blank there's no way to get it back w/o hanging up on the caller.

I wanted to get the One X but after seeing all the bugs my brother is facing with his, I think my next phone is either the Galaxy S 3 or the Next Nexus.

The grass isn't greener. I had one of the first SGS2's and while the bugs were different there were just as many and they were equally severe. The GN's launch was no walk in the park either. Sadly, we're now the last step in the testing process for all the manufacturers. The best bet is to wait two months from launch so that the phone can finally be "finished."
well there is a CM9 version up and he fixed data now, so it's more or less complete and development is fast.
And today htc released kernel source.

In the past 5 months I've used the Nexus S, Nokia N9, Sensation XE, iPhone 4s and now the GNex and honestly I love it the most! I was stuck on 4.0.1 with Vodafone Australia but I flashed the yakju build right away and received all the updates as soon as they were announced.

By accident?

Just out of interest.
Ddoes it do this with the standard browser?
You are using the ICS+ from the market which is basically generic ICS.
Ha, I knew I wasn't crazy. Had it happen to me once already.

So out of nowhere this weekend my nexus's power button was wacky and only working 70% of the times i pressed it. I sent it out to samsung with an RMA number today, and am using my girl's old droid pro for the time being.
Do you get a new phone with an RMA? How long does it typically take? Is it possible theyll say its not broken you just have to start pressing it harder?
Thanks guys.

Ughhhhh are you sure? Is it at least in perfect shape? I sent mine back flawless, I didnt even bother taking my screen protector off.
Also another question, when I subbed the droid pro i obviously have 3g data and not 4g for now. I still have unlimited data on my line, so when i get the nexus back will i be back on unl data? Thanks again in adv.

Ok so I have an iPhone 4 that I am sick of and I am not eligible for an upgrade until July 2013. The Toro is pretty cheap on ebay and it looks like the Nexus 4 will not be available on Verizon. Should I pull the trigger?
And If I do, will it cost any extra to switch from a 3g phone to 4g?
Any input is appreciated :good:

If u don't like to help others what r u doing here. He/She is only asking for advice. You should learn to be respectful.
If nexus 4 isn't going to Verizon there is no point in waiting to buy another phone. I'm eligible for an upgraded in January and I just bought the gnex. My main reason is that the nexus 4 has 16 GB of memory and no SD card slot. That isn't enough for me. I can use cloud services but since sprint internet speed is the worst in my area that is not an option.

I love helping others to be honest, Been helping for sometime now, but 'm not going to compare resume's with you. It is much better if people learn to form their own opinions than to simply be told what they should do. Yes I come off as strong but it was not intended as an attack on the user. Lets say someone posts what he should do and he does it and is unhappy with the result? All the information he asked for is available easily from the search box with a dozen of these 'should i buy...." threads with plenty of user opinions in them.

Gnex all the way.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Honestly I would just wait for something better. I like my nexus and everything... don't get me wrong. But there are a few other smart phones that can do just the job. I say this because I'm not a big ROM user or mod. I just use stock and hope for the best.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Some people have hinted that there will be a Verizon N4 released in January.
If you like to flash different ROMS and want to have the latest version of Android definitely go for the GNex. If you're mainly use stock Android and don't want to tinker with your phone too much than you should probably wait as there will probably be new phones coming out in the next few months.
You will have to change your plan to go to 4g. If you have unlimited you will lose it

My mom went from her 3G HTC Incredible 2 to the 4G Moto Razr, and she's still on her unlimited data. However, maybe you are working with an incompetent rep (which is always the case when their goal is to kick you off the unlimited plans), so ask before you ask them to do anything in regards to switching over from phone to phone.
Edit: after readin the OP, I don't even know if he has unlimited data. Furthermore, I don't know what the dilemma is. Buy the Gnex or wait for....??? Unicorn Nexus????
If you buy a used nexus, you will not loose your current plan with verizon, i just bought one 2 weeks ago, went from3g phone no change.

How long ago did she do it, though? Round about the time the Droid Razr was their flagship handset, unlimited data was still an option, but is no longer the case. Currently, the only ways to keep unlimited is pay full retail or byod. Buying a subsidized device requires a plan change from unlimited and cannot be overridden by a CSR.

From what I've read the Nexus 4 is never coming to Verizon so waiting gets you nothing. I guess you could hold out for the next VZW Nexus device but who knows when that will be.
I would not hesitate one second to pick up a used Nexus. It's a win all around as they relativity cheap and you don't have to deal with contract extensions. If you can keep your unlimited data then it's a no brainier.
As far as the phone itself goes, the ability to run pure Android, open bootloader, the dev community, and being able to flash the last ASOP as soon as it drops make it the best option out there.

Looking at my list of phones, I've gone back to LG several times. I still have the S5 which I pay monthly for, but it just kind of sits there, which is a shame, but it feels way too cheap and I'm not into the dullness of the AMOLED. I'm probably in the minority in that, but something about that screen and fluidity just doesn't match up to the Nexus 5.
I know the G3 will blow the N5 out of the water here shortly, but it's good enough at this point.
sorry for digging it old post, but this was only question that i find lately with still no answer. so can i flash D851 with other firmware (ex.855)? tnx

LAF (Download mode) won't let other firmwares to install, but we can force to install other variant's firmwares. Phone will boot successfully too, but we can have serious problems like touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and RIL (Radio).
So, don't even think that.
^^ok, thank you sir, i was looking for answer to change radio bands...
I can't post links due to how rarely I post. However, I searched the G4 on LG's open source website and found this:

remove the spaces of course.
The source code for 6.0!! When was this posted?

This can’t be compiled and flashed onto an actual device without an unlocked bootloader, if that’s what you’re asking...

This is sadly why I jumped to the 6P in November. I never realized how nice it was to be able to mod and customize your phone any way you want, and have actual 100% stable stock Android ROMs.

I had the note 3 and was going to get the newest one but the SD card and removable battery were deal breakers for me. And with Verizon handicapping the g4 I hate it. Only problem is I'm stuck on the stupid edge plan and can't afford to pay off the g4 and buy a 6p outright.

It will sometime this year, but Verizon in particular is notoriously slow in pushing major Android updates to their customers. There is a good chance big red will be the last major carrier to push it out.

I just signed up for Project Fi and ordered the 6P with 128GB storage. I'm ditching Verizon AND what they did to the great G4. It's a shame, too. It's such an excellent phone, but it's just so... neutered.
Any possibility for a unlocked bootloder in the future?
