Hi guys,
Considering moving from my nexus to the one x, has anyone done so and if you have any regrets? Pros / cons?
I'm sorely tempted but have a couple of reservations. Camera lens / battery life
I get 2 days out my gnexus
Thanks

I have a galaxy nexus galaxy s2 and 1x. Battery is pretty poor on the Ox iff you compare it to the gnex but im sure an update will sort it. Whats your concern about cam lens? Is it because it sticks out iff so i just keep mine in a pouch an dont put it in poket with keys just like any other device iv had. The handset other than that is awesome in my eyes
Mod or Die
Yeah it is the protruding lens, does the 1x come with a pouch? I like the nexus but do not like amoled screen that much
Think it is sometimes bad reading about issues

Personally i found the one x to have a MUCH better battery than the G Nexus, even with AOKP and Franco Kernels but hey....
1% drain over 8 hours idle.... My G Nexus couldnt manage that in a million years...
Thanks all
any regrets at all going to the one? All the stories of issues is making me wary
Might head to carphone warehouse at lunch time!

My Galaxy Nexus would drain 1-3% over night and last 2 days by average, One X currently drains much more, but lets wait for an update.
Apart from battery, there is no way I would go back to G Nexus. Just do screen comparison side by side and that's it
One X is faster, plays movies faster (it starts playing instantly), audio quality sounds the same to me, I tend to listen to musing for 6 hours a day by average.
WiFi is working as expected, not slower, not faster, no problems with 5GHz network.
One X is slimmer and fits in the same belt case I was using with G Nexus.
It took me just few hours with One X to know I'm keeping it, selling G Nexus in few days, it's powered off, I won't use it anymore.
Overall One X seems like huge improvement over G Nexus.

It is awesome can't see any yellow on the white boot screen and display is easy better than the nexus IMO, don't have the sim yet need to cut it when I get home
Nexus is acting as wireless hotspot so I can set it up lol
Got to love Android and I'm no fan boy as I have had the rest, and I do mean them all

Keep us posted how you like the One X over the Galaxy Nexus ? I am thinking about possibly buying one.

I was doing the same. I did cut my SIM but it was not compatible, it had too big contacts. If the metal part looks like a globe then you might have problems. Hopefully cut SIM worked in GNexus in an adapter, but didn't work in One X.
Went to O2 store and got replacement, can't get any easier that that, took literally 1 minute to get it.
Anyway, was using GNexus as hotspot for entire day before that sim replacement.
Now GNexus is bagged and there is no way I would go back to it. One X is that great.
Stuff I don't like about One X compared to Nexus: hardware button placements. Buttons should be in exact same positions as on G Nexus. I keep pressing Vol accidentally when plugging in usb cable. Power on top always requires me to reach out with second hand. Nexus had the buttons laid out perfectly.

Hi Zorachus
Vodafone UK sim cut and installed ok, no problems there though it looked close
So far I love it as the screen doesn't have that amoled grubbyness on some colours esp grey.
I don't know if there is some uneven areas but you can find faults on anything if you look hard enough lol
Only one charge 18 hours on battery WiFi on, 1 hour 40 on screen, 60% batttery left
Seen a couple of what was like screen brightness flickers but went away, it was very subtle and I didn't have auto brightness on, weird!
Have grey one and so far very pleased and I prefer the button layout as it is, I'm old school I guess
Bought from carphone warehouse and they have a 14 day return policy should something go wrong, the guy in the shop said they sell out pretty quick and had had no returns
Any questions let me know
Thanks

Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.
I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

What a rip off
I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.
Revolution Case Link---> http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+7+fhd+revolution
Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Dam, for $70 I would need a b...job with it. lol That is way to high for a device under $300. I'm sure it is awesome though.

Nice write up and I'm exited for mine to come in. The pics are a little small but nothing a little pinch zoom can't fix.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

How many dead pixels do you have? Did you return it or live with it?
I have a single dead pixel which isn't that noticible, I feel it unlikely that I will get a perfect display if I return it. I think it's likely that most displays have at least 1 dead pixel, but perhaps this poll can answer that.
Edit: So 2 months later, i've replaced the Nexus 5 times, and all have had dead pixels. I wish I had kept the first one.
I'm surprised there are so many with zero dead pixels. Mine is completely unnoticeable unless I look for it at less than 6 inches from the screen. In fact I can't find it right now. At this PPI the pixels are so tiny.
3, returned.. 0 now that I know of, better stay that way :laugh:

Tried to exchange to staples but they didn't have any 32 GB in stock. Tried to order online for me but online was out of stock.
So I'm stuck with this one for 11 more days lol

1 dead pixel that took me two days to find. Not noticeable unless it is on full brightness on a completely black screen in a dark room, so never.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Some good statistics here. I think I will take a chance for a perfect display and return this to Staples.
None that I know of. No bleed either.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Had 3. None after replacement.
I have one about 4cm in from the top left hand 2cm down from the top on the upper left hand side that is visible except on red. So this basically means unless the screen is black or red you see the pixel every time, clear as day.
It is really driving me nuts so has anyone had any experience with returning devices with Google over a single dead pixel out of the box?
Zero. I have two in the house and both are flawless.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Zero for me as well.

Will the pixel be white or black? I either have a dead pixel or dust under the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The one I got today has one dead pixel. It is very hard to find. I don't think I'm going to replace it though because the screen has very minimal backlight bleed. That and I also got a 32 gb one with a2 year damage warranty for under $300, so I can't complain

One, but it's easily ignored. I love my N7 so far.

0 on my first display but had a bad OTG issue. Returned that one and got one that has 1 dead pixel. It's by the clock in landscape so I basically never see it. I'm keeping my N7...love it!
I just realized that my Nexus 7 has a small but noticeable purple spot on the screen, much more appearant on a black background. It wasn't there last time I used it, I plugged it in to charge it than came to use it hours later to see a purple spot.
I play a lot of Order & Chaos online, could the spot be from prolonged finger use? If I need to return it I'll have to relock the bootloader and flash to stock right?
Thanks,
Branden

If it's still returnable yes, my new one has zero screen spotting. I assume it's an issue with some of them but not all..

Hi,
I bought the phone a week ago. Since then me and a friend are having static shocks on my hand after using the mobile. Using the leather case. I have also read on amazon a comment regarding this. So i am not alone on this. Do you guys ever felt it?
