Galaxy Nexus Goodbye Thread!

Well guys, this may be it. I'm probably going to buy a G-Nex tonight, if not, sometime this week. I've had a great experience here. My first android phone was the DINC and it will be remembered....as my new MP3 player... Sad yet great day! Thanks to all the Devs! Hope to see some of you over at the G-Nex LTE forums!!!
Also, everyone else feel free to use this as a home for your goodbyes!

Same here! I loved my Inc, got it on launch day shipped.
Also same here - I'm thinking of passing it on to my son, who is too young for a phone but loves to game on it. Anyone know of a ROM that is specifically designed to turn it into a sort of aPod?

How would you be able to get one tonight? It releases tomorrow. I'm getting one too probably tomorrow.

Excellent - thanks!

Goodbye DINC forums, I've been such a fan for so long. Thank you so much to all the Devs who made the DINC so awesome to have that I kept it way past my upgradability timeframe. I'm off to Galaxy Nexus land but I'll still be around since I now have 3 DINCs I have no idea what I'm going to do with.

I got it! Best phone ever.

Picked up my Nexus last night too. Thanks for all the help, guys hope to see some of you over in the Galaxy Nexus forums.

Got one as well! Hopefully some of our great devs migrate over with us!

Ah DInc, you were a great phone, and because of that I've met a ton of great people in the community. My DInc will be my glorified MP3 player for my car.
I've learned a lot here, since it was my first Android device. I'll miss it here, but you can find me in the Galaxy Nexus / HTC Flyer / Xoom forums.
I'll stop back from time to time, see how things are going!
Mr Skyraider, Jermaine, McD, 'Stang, Newtoroot, and all the devs and others, thanks for doing what you do. See you on the Nexus forums or in future endeavors!

Not good enough
I went into Verizon yesterday to look at the Galaxy Nexus and I just wasn't impressed enough to spend the money. Oh well, maybe the next big phone release will be too irresistible. The whole game playing with the release date changing so much just left a bad taste in my mouth too.

I too, am joining the Galaxy Nexus crowd! It's been a great year and half everyone, hope to see all of you around GN forums!

Goodbye Galaxy Nexus
Well,
After 26 days of owning not one, but 3 Galaxy Nexus phones, I have returned mine as the problems I had with the call quality/signal strength and the phone constantly muting itself during calls, have made me not want it anymore. Yes it was a beautiful device, had great speed, an awesome screen, and a lot of other things, but it didn't live up to what a phone is meant to be, a PHONE!. I know that there are software updates coming out to all of the folks with this phone and I hope that you get your issues resolved by it, but I simply couldn't justify keeping it for what I paid. So now back to an old phone for me until something works out!

Former Inc owner with a Nexus now. Unlocking and rooting the phone was easy. Haven't had a chance to flash anything on it yet but the roms look great. I dunno making the switch was easy for me.

same for me,digging my rezound

I have a rezound, an OG Droid and just picked upa Dinc for the hellovit from a cousin...I cant tell you how impressed I am at the speed and feel of the dinc. I had a tbolt too for a while and the dinc feeps way faster and battery life is magnificent with an evo 2000mah battery in it. May activate the dinc one day just for $h1ts and giggles....

How is the Rezound? I'm not up for an upgrade till April, but I'm between the Rezound and GNex... I'm leaning for for the gnex due to the problems they've had rooting the Rezound

New and proud owner of Note

Hi, everyone
Been looking around this forum for weeks and finally got the Note. We have a great forum here and everyone are very helpful. Came from Atrix forum and it was rough over there .
I got it rooted and had clockworkmod loaded. I got the unlocked international version, even though ATT version is just around the corner. I got constant download speed of 1.5-2.00 mb on ATT HSPA+. Im so glad it has a physical home button. It really help.
When I first held the phone, I thought I got scam and got a fake phone . I was thinking it cannot be this big and light. It took me about 5 minutes to get use to the size. I will never go back to any screen less then 5" again. Love this phone!!!
Anyway, just like to give a little feedback and how great this forum is.

Welcome! I'm a fairly new Note owner too. And I agree with everything you said about the Note. Cheers!

Welcome and don't worry about people asking "does it fit in your jeans?", "wow is that huge", "is this a mobilephone?", "why do you carry a callbox with you?"
It's normal and it's the best smartphone i've ever seen and had in my hands/jeans

I am new too =) welcome

I just updated from a Dell streak, after waiting for like eternity to get a good enough deal on my local network, in the end settled for a unbranded one from Ebay and am quite chuffed as couldn't wait any longer hehe

GALAxy NOTE Gets a LOT of ATTENTION!!!!

I love my galaxy note and everytime i go to some public place people ask me what it is and you get to know a lot of people. Its awesome. All the people that saw my note said they were gonna buy it no lie.

Here in India, Samsung is going bonkers with advertising campaign for note. You see it every day on almost all satellite channels. It has reached the point where people have actually started to recognise the phone in public. Everyone knows its Note.
Kinda feel bad as its not something rare or unknown beast that surprises people anymore.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.

My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..

Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.

Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!
And guess what? I already made new friends because of it LOL

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.

I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...

Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Although possible, I doubt that by Christmas it will be 10 million. A good portion of the 5 million sales figure probably incorporates Samsung's distributors, carriers, and retailers. Nonetheless, this does project likely high sales, but again, I doubt 10 million. Regardless, I love this phone and I should be getting mine Monday! I'm extremely excited.

The Note 2 is without a doubt the best phone i ever had (and had a lot ). It`s fast, rockstable and can do about anything, allready out of the box.

+10000000 on this. More OEM's should focus on features like this on their flagships. Cough HTC cough cough lg cough Microsoft cough cough apple. Just kidding about apple. But between apple and Samsung maybe other OEMS will figure it out before they lose more face. SMDH high end phones would still have sub par sound when at the very least loudspeaker could benefit from it, not to mention the audio codecs supported natively and then output in general. Did you all also know that noise cancelation benefits battery savings also? Thank Samsung for the high end noise canceling, audience chip, which makes for higher quality calls and doesn't have to transmit extraneous noise from the background so the person you're talking to enjoys a nice clear audio quality.

Got mine a month back amazing phone! the display size is perfect for me (my hands are a little big) and its consistently fast! im not going to root it at all cause it's awesome just the way it is! can't wait for the official android 4.2 update! and as for battery life..7h48m at 20% aint such a bad thing right?

its a beast no doubt abt that coming from a iphone 5 was waste of resources !!!!

This phone is WAYY better than my nexus 5.

Absolutely loved my nexus 5. Was a great phone but I wanted a bigger screen. I really thought about the OPO for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Two days in and in couldn't be happier. Battery life is insane, camera is so much better, feels way lighter, double the storage, and I got it for the same price I sold my nexus for.
Only cons I see so far is 3rd party accessories are lacking big time and doesn't seem to be as many ROMs but stock rooted is working great for me anyways. So glad I went this route.

Just be patient. Due to the whole invite system, these phones are not that popular at the moment. Once they will become easily available for everyone, I'm sure the accessories market will explode.
As to the "slim offer" of ROMS you're refering to... You should have another look really, as there are quite allot of them.

i hope so, cause the nexus 5 is couple years old.

I cant wait to get mine in the mail. I am currently using a Nexus 5 so this is great to hear.

Feels way lighter though its 30grams heavier? Wow... that's a huge difference for a phone.

Ya feels lighter to me at least. Maybe because its not so compact.. I don't know. Don't care if there's already a thread either. Lol. My voice must be heard.

Came from a Nexus 5 myself which is in my opinion one of the greatest smartphones ever made, so I had high hopes for this and it hasn't let me down. Although I did love the feel and size of the N5, the OPO simply outclasses it in every category. I may even keep this phone as my backup when the Nexus 6 drops instead of selling it towards the purchase cost. Although I love my OPO I'm definitely getting that ish, I've been dreaming of a Moto-made Nexus for years. And if I don't I still have the next best thing
