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

I just got a note 2 and I love the battery usage I get out of it and it's so much smoother and faster than the s3. No lag or stutter. Game play is awesome on it! Nova 3 is smooth and has the same graphic effect as ipad3 with the autofocus and blurr background, smoke, etc. Modern Combat 3 is super smooth. Haven't really fully utilized the spen yet and havent done the OTA to get dual screen mode. I'm contemplating on going back to s3 due the better size of the s3. I just can't really hold the damn note 2 right (no case yet). Too bad I cant upgrade to bigger hands lol. Just wondering if I'm alone here. Everyone in the note 2 loves the device coming from an s3.

I swapped with a friend for a couple days, because we were both curious about each others phone. I have an S3 and he had a note 2. After using it pretty heavily for two days, I couldnt wait to get my S3 back. I like all of the features and specs more on the note 2, but it ultimately came down to size. I use my phone to listen to music at work and at the gym, all day long; so its always in my pocket. Carrying around a note 2 with a dual armor case, feels like I'm carrying a brick in my pocket. Also, I do a lot of moving and bending at my job and the phone was just really uncomfortable to be lugging around. I'm hoping the S4 is the same size, with only hardware upgrades....

i just sold my note and got another s3 the note 2 was great with all the features but a little to big and also needed so extra cash lol

I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one that prefers the S3. I bought the Note 2 and returned it after only a week. It was just way too heavy in my hand. So happy now to be back with my S3!
I don't know why it takes people to actually get the tablet to realize is too "big".The note 2 is a mini tablet and it just doesn't have that phone feel obviously because is too big. They are both the same phone just the note 2 is a bigger s3

For me when I tried the phone in store it felt fine but again it was on display and had security cable and charging cable attached to it and was holding it with 2 hand so couldn't really get a feel of how it is to pick up off the table or hold it with 1 hand from prolong period. So now that I have it, it's a bit different.

The new LG Optimus G Pro that's about to drop on AT&T will the stock battery out of that fit the Note 2 with the Note 2s stock battery cover?
The Pros battery is a tiny bit bigger in mah and just want to get the biggest battery possible using the stock battery cover on my Note 2.
If it'll fit where can I purchase it? Amazon and eBay don't have it.

You're not gonna find that answer here, you need to wait til it drops and ask their forum the dimensions.

Id have to say it is very unlikley as most phone batteries are custom for each device and it is unlikley that batteries would be transferable except in related devices like the OG galaxy S and the Captivate Fascinate ect

Why don't you just buy a extended battery 6200mah from Amazon eBay. Its your choice were to spend your money!! Instead of worrying about a battery from a different manufacture.

Um, that battery is only 40 mah larger. You are not going to notice the difference between 3100 mah note 2 battery vs the 3140 mah GPro battery to worry about whether it will fit or not.

Why would you even ask this question.

Are we talking a true 40 mah difference here ?
No dis-respect intended OP, but 40 mah would equate to maybe one 2 minute phone call, or perhaps a few mms messages in difference.
Certainly not worth the price, or even the trouble in pulling the battery cover....IMHO
Basic changes in the rom would yield far more than 40 mah in power savings. Even a basic governor change or clock speed change would get you that easily.
The gain with that battery upgrade is pointless really. ...g

Because the dock that I got can also charge a spare battery ..so the next battery I would buy I was looking at the G Pros since its rated a bit higher.

You're a member of community that loves their cellphones and mods it to ****..and you say "Just be happy with stock" Lol seems I'll just have to find out myself with these replies I'm getting.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
That is a good idea. ..
Once the batteries become available, buy one and test it.
And although it will make no appreciable difference in battery life, you will have your answer and can report your findings.
The answers you got are valid, because we don't own LG devices, and because we can't even buy the battery yet anyway.
It looks like you get to be patient zero on this mod.
Happy battery buying. ...g
Edit:
The current note 2 battery is a guarantee for the same money and the same output. ..g

Yes...be happy with it. You can get 7 hours of screen time with the right ROM and kernel now.
How much more will that unproved battery net you?
To me it is not cost effective... and not worth the time to try to get.
Yes...like to mod my phone...but I won't cut off my nose to spite my face.Yes I could do all types of mods to it, but it has to be worth the effort.
The battery we have, if working optimally, which requires you to set up to do,works great right now with out any modding in the intended docks designed for the phone...
If you want to change batteries for craps & grins.... nock your self out.

I agree with all these guys there is no reason to switch batteries with this phone I get 6 hours of screen time at about 21 hours average. If your so worried about needing more juice look into a real extended battery 40mah is not gonna do $hit

Good battery (according to my usage, I had to change battery twice and I had to change the battery once).
More natural white and other color.
Smooth operation (no shutter when watching TV through HD Homerun).
Removable battery (do you see the first line?)
Ample 32GB internal storage.

So far I love everything about the Note 3 (even Touchwiz) but hands down the screen is the best part about this phone. I walked into T-Mobile today and the screen is so vibrant it made every other phone in the store look like garbage.
Everything. Some things amaze me, like the charging time. Unreal how quick it charges.

Everything! And now to add to the list of awesomeness that is the Note 3, I just found out the it's ANT+ compatible. I just tested this successfully by pairing it with a Garmin ANT+ heart rate monitor!

Eeeeeverything. Seriously. This phone is nothing short of amazing.
Or maybe it's because I was in purgatory with an HTC Sensation for 2+ years. The Sensation was so bad, I almost broke down and upgraded to an SGS4 when my contract was up. But I held out for three more months knowing the GN3 would come "soon". Longest three months ever.
But if I had to highlight something great about the GN3, it would be the battery life, performance and screen. Yea ok, those are three things but you really can't just pick one good thing to say about this phone.
The screen for sure. I don't have my Note 3 yet (ordered on Negri Electronics last night) but from playing with it in store that screen outshined my Note 1 screen by a ton, much better color and white balance while having impossibly small pixels. That screen alone seems worth the upgrade.

The screen, obviously, and the IR port. I have been missing having an IR port since my treo days, it's about bloody time that technology made a comeback.
This in my opinion is the best video for those who are undecided about which one to own
