Galaxy Nexus no longer being released on the 9th in the US?

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/07/galaxy-nexus-no-longer-launching-on-december-9/
sigh... dropping the ball. They dont want this phone on their network.

if it doesnt launch friday ill be buying something else, i'm getting sick of using my cracked thunderbolt and even more sick of waiting

I don't think they ever officially stated a day. I've thought for a while that they would release it with some clause that said no worry free guarantee exchanges for this device since a lot of people are planning on returning their razr or rezound too.. we'll see.

I called Verizon yesterday, the 1800#, and they confirmed the 9th, so this has to be a change if true

I can't wait until this thing is released, not because I want to get it but so these threads will end.
Wait for it or buy online like most people did here

Take a look through this forum. I think VZ would have to iron out all these issues before putting it up for sale. I doubt VZ is going to have thier tech support saying " oh you can just download this app to fix that issue". It's going to have to work 99%, or people will just bring it back in and swap phones. There really isn't anything so magnetic about this phone that will make a regular user say they can't part with it. Imagine 50,000 used phones, cases, screen protectors, cradles etc. I can understand a few issues with a new device, but it looks like there are quite a few.
So I guess we will just wait for the 9th and see.

this is what i know verizon has a **** load of iphone and razrs! wouldn't you try and get the most out of your inventory? i wouldn't want to price cut just to sell if i didn't have to, or at least prolong a long as possible

Verizon sucks. that's why I left them after 10+ years. They are like the Apple of cell carriers. Need to control every aspect.
So now they aren't releasing the Gnex cause their 4G LTE is crapping the bed... Seems their LTE service has all kinds of issues with each new phone that is released to it.

They may control every aspect, but it sure does pay off for them and their subscribers, doesn't it?
Consumer Reports: Verizon has highest satisfaction rate among major US carriers, AT&T is lowest

I'm pissed!!! I'm shipping out my G2x Friday and thus wont have a phone until they get off their ass.
The phones are sitting in their stores. Its a little too late.
Verizon usually releases phones on Fridays? So of it misses this Friday, it won't be available until next Friday?

Do you seriously think Verizon will iron out anything?
Have you used a droid bionic? The phone is total garbage, riddled with bugs, and had plenty of Verizon and Motorola "testing time."
They will release it eventually and it will be full of plenty of bugs they missed. Who knows what the hell they're doing.

Well I will agree on one thing. Their cell reception is the best.
But I can't deal with their arrogance, and pricing. At the time the OG Droid launched (I got mine on first day), they said they were changing their style... going to be more open with regard to their phones. After the OG Droid was a huge success for both Verizon and Android, they pretty much went back to their old ways.
Now they are releasing their 2nd pure google phone. And they are dragging their feet with the release. Probably making google changed certain aspects of it, making it more closed then the GSM version.

I'll agree that the pricing is outrageous, but until someone with an equal or better network (see: competition) comes along, Verizon will be the status quo as far as high quality networks are concerned.
I don't think the latest delay has anything to do with the Nexus as much as it has to do with the overall network from a QoS standpoint. As a network technician myself, I can tell you that the issues being described with LTE SIM Card Authentication warrant a "freeze" until the problem is rectified. Why introduce a large amount of new devices onto the network without resolving the problem first?

Was just in a Verizon store buying a case for my GSM nexus. Guy said they had the phones in store but got an email a couple hours ago that it was no longer being released on Friday. Didn't have any details but seems like the article posted was true.

Funny I went looking for release dates. Mondays and Thursdays seem pretty common for Verizon. Also funny is the original 11/21 release date (I'm sure it was even earlier then that).
You know I've been on both sides. Push the release date until it's ready and people complain. Release the phone before its ready and people complain. Coming from a LG G2x, I can honestly say releasing the phone before it was ready was good for me but not for the population as a whole. The negative feedback it received as a "faulty device" forever scarred its name.

Motorola isn't exactly known for making phones that aren't riddled with bugs.....
This sounds more like something with Verizon's LTE network and not something to do specifically with the phones themselves.

Is the HARDWARE of Galaxy Nexus bugless?

Own a Nexus S. Thinking about upgrade to GN.
In Hong Kong, we got a message that Samsung has stopped the production of GN. Shops are offering final sales at HK$3700 / US$474.
It is a good price to buy. But it is very strange to see that Samsung has stopped the production so early, 5 months after release. GN was just released in November.
Is it possible that GN's hardware is buggy and Google needs to issue a new version?
I tried to look for answers in forums. But no luck. Pls give me some hints. thank you!
Any software bugs don't worry me. I am using CM9. I believe in the power of open source community.

So far, I've been more than happy with my GNex.
I bought mine on release day.
Only issues so far have been software related so I flashed AOKP and have never looked back.

Do you see any screen "burn"?

There are no bugs, the global market version is just dropping everywhere. Its a steal I think. Its a low volume model and they're just trying to sell them.
There are price threads right in this forum talking about it.

Only issues I've had so far have been software-related and nothing related to hardware.

No hardware is perfect. And quality control is a lot worse than you'd like to know. That being said, I highly doubt that Google will quietly "refresh" the hardware. The phones been out too long, they're not doing that and there are no blatant defects.

Does the life cycle of a smart phone become much shorter now? released less than half a year, then stop production.

Carriers will not continue to sell devices if:
1. The contract they have with the OEM does not require it.
And
2. Sales are not doing well. They will not continue to buy devices if they are not selling.
Hardware does not have to be the reason.

Hope I can get one since it was out of stock for the last week. GN is so hot in HK.

#imbussels

If I may contribute:
A few weeks (maybe 6 or 7) after I got the GN, there was a problem with the microUSB connection. It would not charge if it was on, either from a USB port or the wall charger.
To charge it, I had to turn it off or pull the battery several times and connect it while it was still off. Even then, I had to try several times until it finally did charge.
After almost two weeks of that, everything went normal again. To this day, I have no idea whether it was hardware or software related.
Here's a thread with people having a similar issue.

Anyway, Verizon and Sprint's sales does not reflect what is (or is not) happening in China.

The phone is still produced in Brazil as "Galaxy X" (as Nexus brand is already used by another company that did not allow Samsung / Google to use it to promote the phone), and recently has been introduced to Sprint users, so, my guess is that either it won't be produced/sold in your country or someone is misinformed...

[Q] Losing interest in the G3?

Is anyone losing interest in the G3 while waiting for release dates to be announced? Its odd how the phone was announced almost a month ago and still no carrier outside of verizon has a release date. The longer LG waits the more we hear about upcoming flag ships that can lure away potential buyers from the G3. I call T-Mobile and nobody knows of anything, I haven't lost interest yet but my patience is running thin!

They are at least better then OnePlus One

A little bit, for sure. To me, what's worse than taking a while to release a product after announcing it, is not even giving customers a firm idea of when they'll be able to get their hands on the product.
I'll still probably buy it, just because there isn't another phone that offers such a large screen in a relatively small form factor. But this process has definitely sullied my anticipation, for sure.

Shouldn't be that long now right? I mean the UK release is on thursday & Europe isn't much long after that

You know, I was thinking the same thing this weekend. I was really looking forward to the phone, but since the announcement, nothing. And the longer they delay the release, or the longer there is silence, I am thinking I may as well wait a couple months for the galaxy prime/F, galaxy note 4, Motorola X +1, any other phone coming out. LG had my undivided attention in late May. Now, not so much.

I agree I'm growing tired of waiting, the Note 4 sounds nice but I'm not sure about touchwiz anymore so I'm nonchalant with phones as of right now

Count me in, if LG wanted to be a real competitor this go round they should have planned a global release. Getting bored with my Note 3 and TouchWiz looking forward to Sony's upcoming Z phone.

Very much so.
I had 100% expected to pre-order this phone, however since it was announced I've been getting less and less interested in it. A few reasons why:
Shipping with snapdragon 801 rather than the 805
Poor screen in terms of contrast, brightness, over sharpening. While offering only a debatable increase in sharpness
Very, very poor battery life in some aspects (compared with equivalent flagships)
Overheating issues with the screen, and SoC to a lesser extent, but still more than other phones
Each one is only a minor issue, but overall they add up.

The battery life is not poor. I am using one right now and I have to say that its one of the best in terms of battery life.

On its own, it's not that poor. But when you compare it (specifically the screen on time, which is important to me) to the M8/S5/etc then it's far from good.

That's reassuring to hear.
I really want to like the phone. I've got the upgrade itch from my N5, and the G3 sounded great with the larger screen, but not quite being Galaxy Note sized.
I guess I need to wait until they're around and have a play with one, then see if it's something I can justify overall.

Release Date?

Does anyone know when this watch is going to be released? I read somewhere that it might get released at the end of September, but on here it's showing November 2014.

It depends if you mean the US or Europe. Based on this video taken by CNET France, it looks like it's set for early to mid December, but the video said nothing about differing prices overseas, so based on the fact that most watches are being globally released at the same time, it's safe to assume that the date in the video is for both regions.
Also, the video lists the complete specifications which were on display. (Link to specific time here).
Apparently it has a 369 mAh battery. Not the top of the line, but not nearly the lowest, either. considering it has an AMOLED display, the battery life will be severely determined by how much of the screen is covered with completely black pixels. A proper watch face theme to compliment this will greatly increase battery life, as AMOLED means that all black pixels are actually not being powered. The results in the dark are also quite stunningly delicious to look at, by the way. (I own a Moto X that has a AMOLED display. The max hours I've had it running with a set of 400+ apps installed (including system) was 41 hours.
This, of course, took a bit of tweaking with some root apps... but considering the smartwatches don't have much running on them and the feature set on them are dependent on what apps are installed on your phone, rooting will most likely never be necessary for them.

I was speaking in terms of North American release date. Being that I'm in Canada, I'll probably get screwed on the launch date here, usually happens that way.

I heard for release date was to try before Christmas. As they have said try may end up being 2015. Hope it soon this is the one watch I'm looking forward to

I have a Pebble currently, and it's really nice, love the 5-7 day battery life on it. But I want something a little classier, and for a little more than the Pebble Steel I can get this watch.
I think it's really stupid that Samsung and Apple released watches that only work with their phones. Completely cuts off a lot of potential users. Glad Asus didn't do that.

Can be Pre-ordered now...

I find this highly unlikely. Why would they do a large public unveiling, only to make 300 devices?

I spent 3 1/2 hours today driving and calling one Best Buy after another before someone actually was helpful enough to look into it more deeply and tell me that not only did they not have it, they never received any and in fact, no Best Buy store in Southern California had received or sold any.
Went to T-Mobile and bought the Samsung Gear S.

I went to 3 different best buys. nobody had it. i went and bought a casio g-shock instead.

Good job Asus

Getting worse by the minute. Now it's in best buy's system, but they've upped the price to 229.00

still not available anywhere, but you can spend more than they said to not have it now at least. I'll pass. There are plenty of good alternative options, and more in the pipeline.

V30 hints at possible US pricing

According to GSM arena the price is the V30 may be $750 USD. See link:
https://www.google.com/amp/m.gsmare.../lg_v30_will_probably_cost_749-news-27084.php
If so this is good. LG isn't going the Apple Samsung route and asking crazy money for their flagship. A few month down the road you may be able to pick one up for something in the high 500 to mid 600 dollar range.
I will likely pick up V30 in the near future if the price turns out to be reasonable and sooner if there is some kind of deal/offer.

I'm hoping it's around that price. I avoided the 5 and 6 for lg, but still like their phones. I will be getting this and setting the 8+ aside for a while.
I'm also hoping they do some sort of pre-order deal too. Still using the 200gb card from the v20 pre-order.

I had the G6 and fell for the S8 hype and really regret it. I cant have any samsung phones, they always suck for me. Im waiting on the apple event (dont flame me) to make my decision on what i wanna get to replace the S8. But the V30 is a very strong contender.

Same here. Bought the G6, sold it to get the GS8. I have no idea why I keep trying Samsung. Great phones, yeah, but they never work for me (Note 5 is the lone exception). Bixby was a royal pain in the rear. Anyway, after flirting with the OnePlus 3T, I am back to and enjoying the G6. I am seriously considering the V30.
I have just been in heaven with these releases. First the Galaxy Note8, then the V30, with the Iphones, pixels and Mate 10 launches to follow. All fantastic phones. I have no intention of buying the Note, Iphone or pixels, but I love watching and reading about these phones when they are announced.

I do sometimes miss the S pen and the Samsung camera have always been good for me. I traded in my G5, that wasn't being used, for a Note 8 preorder. I will also be getting the V30 as I carry two phone (work & personal). We will see which one become my go to device.

I am waiting on the V30. I have had much better luck with LG devices (G2, G3, G4 and the G6) than Samsung. However, the Note5 and GS3 were devices I loved. If I don't hear much from LG regarding release date for the V30, I may just jump to the Note8 or or give the GS8 Plus a go (now that I know how to inactivate Bixby).

I wish that they would announce the release date for US carriers already

What is there not to know? South Korea gets it September 21. The rest of the world gets it after that. Assume early October for U.S.
The U.S. carrier unlocked will be after that. Currently rumored for "mid-October", but I'm skeptical because normally they give a month or so for carriers to fleece suckers on "contract" before they unveil the good stuff. [emoji14]
Actually I wouldn't mind if LG delayed the V30 another week or two IF it means improving the few quirks that was noticed in the pre-release devices.

I had the G6 and fell for the S8 hype and really regret it. I cant have any samsung phones, they always suck for me. Im waiting on the apple event (dont flame me) to make my decision on what i wanna get to replace the S8. But the V30 is a very strong contender.

You have a right to your opinion, just as anyone else does. I've got the S6/G920A and now that LG has finally gotten away from putting the power and volume controls on the rear of the phone, I'll grab the V30 next week and probably never look at Samsung again for a flagship phone.

I just wish lg would give a ballpark for us when they announce, or at least release shortly after. A month is a ways out when other companies are right around the corner.
Either way, I made up my mind - I'm getting the 30. I miss lg. I wouldn't have left, but the 5 and 6 were failures though. Still miss my g4.

I loved my old G4 But I also hated that it always overheated and throtlled the phone . Hopefully the v30 is good overall

The Power button/finger print scanner is still on the back. Has been that way since G5, as well as the volume buttons on the side. G4 had both on the back. That was a while ago.

I've heard one person mention that the camera in auto mode isn't that impressive again. If true I'll be very sad, it's what bothers me most about the my V20.
I know manual mode can be very good, but I don't always have the time or inclination to fiddle with it to get the shot.
Bodily at least it's improved over the V20 or it's just the pre-release software.

I just read release date is Sept 15 and the phone is priced at $1000 CDN....

I can't open the link, maybe it just my smartphone.
That would be equivalent to 822. 60 to US dollars. I was expecting less, that's still to expensive for me to consider.
Hopefully actual price is less than that. If not I'll just wait, LG prices drop pretty quick usually.

Thank you Milan, I can still live with that configuration. Its the volume controls I really had a problem with on the G4, as well as switching over from Samsung devices.

Just read the price will be 899€ in Europe. Yeah...no, won't buy. WTF are they thinking?!
Now I don't know which one to buy, the LG G6 is stripped down in Europe. I don't want Samsung (bad experience), sony's are shaped like bricks. Will look into huawei.

Yeah if they are going to fallow the Samsung, Apple model in pricing that will really diminish the appeal of this phone.
BUT if you a little patient LG's prices tend to drop fast. I'm ok waiting a few months for prices to become reasonable. My V20 gets the job done and sounds great worth my good portable headphones/ in-ears. I'm not in a hurry.

Especially if you know that the V30 is finally on par with the Samsung S8 in hardware, but that one came out months ago and is now 200€ less + 128gb free sd card.
So @LG, it is not because you bring competitive hardware to the market 6 months after the compention did, that you can price it as the price 6 months ago.
