Goodbye sweet Nexus.

You have served me well. One day I shall return to the sweet pastures of a nexus phone, but until then I will be spending time with a Galaxy S II.
Its not that I don't love you, its just that I got an unavoidable deal on a galaxy. I will root it and install ICS on day one in your honor. I know you wouldn't have it any other way but to run stock android roms.
I will remember you my beautiful nexus. Take care.

I went from a Nexus One--> iPhone 4--> Galaxy S--> Galaxy S2--> Galaxy S2 Skyrocket 4G LTE--> Nexus S
Something is weird here... I just like the smaller form factor and stable ICS on the Nexus S. It is slower, but on the plus side the screen & sound are better than anything else with Voodoo on the Nexus S. I also sold the Skyrocket for $500 and bought the Nexus S for $140 = profit!
With some of the profit I picked up a Touchpad which I use for games & anything else that requires a bigger display or faster device.

Gn is the only phone I'd even consider trading for the ns. You just don't appreciate the value of a vibrant development community until you've spent some time in a crappy one. Plus I'd rather not deal with the kids, jackasses, and socially impotent weirdos that you find in your typical non-dev commercial device forums. I think a good community makes for a better atmosphere for development. With all the mods available, this phone is on par with any other devise on the market (in terms of general usability).
I don't consider A larger dual core phone that consumes more power and has less development to be an upgrade. I still have yet to identify one process or task (multi or singular), so hampered by this single core, that made me think omg that was so slow; I need to upgrade. I mean, no process takes more than 1 second for me. I just can't justify spending any amount of money to cut .25 off of 1 second... but enough of my rant... Congrats and enjoy
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...

I'm jumping ship also
I love the Nexus line so I'm be sticking with it
Amazon Wireless and Wirefly both have the Galaxy Nexus for $99 w/ a new 2 year contract. On top of that with a new activation from studentrate.com I should be able to get a 10% reoccurring credit on my bill.
So goodbye Sprint and Nexus S 4G

You'll be back

The atmosphere and development for nexus is by far the greatest plus to me. Although I have most certainly slowed down on my flashing. The gs2 also has slimICS rom - so the same I have now and I probably won't change anytime soon.
The things about the screen are true. The pixles are much bigger in the gs2 then the ns too.
But to brag a bit I'm getting the galaxy brand new unlocked for $200. So I can hold on to both phones and muck around till I make up my mind to decide which to sell. I suppose if I sell the galaxy I could make a profit...
Ultimately the idea was to get new phone to tide me over till the next nexus because I'm actually not the biggest fan of the galaxy nexus. The look plus the screen can be iffy.

http://www.theverge.com/2011/05/30/coming-nexus-s/

I sold my Nexus S and bought the Galaxy Note. I won't be returning to the Nexus series until they stop releasing them in multiple sku's/variants which ended up fragmenting the ICS updates to the Nexus S.
Need an example? Go onto gsmarena.com and in the search box type Galaxy Nexus, immediately 4 variants show up in the results.
In the meantime I'll just enjoy my samsung phablet

See u in galaxy nexus forum

Would you trade for a Note 2?

Would you trade your nexus 4 for a galaxy note 2? Would you be willing to add cash for the trade? What are your guys thoughts on this. Mods please don't close this is just a discussion thread that I'm sure many people have pondered before.

Trade for a non-Nexus phone? Why the hell would I ever even consider that?

I don't need a Goliath screen/phone size, and I find taking notes on a tablet more useful, if you are going to use it for that purpose.

I know some people are not gonna be happy with this decision but there are some useful additional options to the Note 2 which will help me day to day.

I had a Note 2 for a month, and why did I return it because of the screen. AMOLED is nice for blacks and such but having had a One X as my primary phone I'm just in love with IPS display. Much sharper overall, crisp text, natural colours, the N4 screen is on par with the One X. But I think the One X screen edges the N4 slightly. But would be happy with either.
I'm quite liking the N4, using stock Android is different to using a skinned version.
Both are good phones regardless, go for whatever your needs are.

Trade? Yes, add cash? No.
I can easily buy another n4, but am unwilling to shell out $650 for a note 2

1. No selling our trading outside the marketplace. No one would trade his N4 + $$ for a Note 2.
2. A very small percentage of users on the Nexus 4 subforum stick with stock.
3. There are many threads already comparing the Note 2 and the N4. In fact, there's a ton of threads criticizing the N4 and comparing it to pretty much every flagship phone out.
4. You haven't been gentlemanly and if you showed some manners, you'd get a more genial response. Remember that you came into our forum. Everyone here clearly is sticking with their N4.

samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is it worth it?

hi
i am planing on geting a samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 they are now selling them at my walmart here in sonora CAthey started selling them in 2012 i been wanting too get one but is it worth it ? i be uesing this for note takeing playing games and web sufeing but i all so been thinking about geting a ipad 4 this is so hard too pick be come they are both selling at$499

I love mine, and I bought it at best buy and got them to price match amazon at $449 for the 16gb, and I woukd have got the 32gb for $499 if the had it in stock.

am going too go a head and get samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has it seems that this tablet can do way way more then what the ipad can
when i got the $ saved up

Do you want simplicity - Ipad, or the ability to customise how you want - Note 10.1.
It essentially comes down to what you want to use the tablet for, remember this is a forum for note 10.1 and opinions will be biased,
I like the fact that with the note I connect it to the PC and don't need to use any other apps to convert my movie files to a compatible format, the same with music, text and apps.... It has a screen thats fine for viewing and the fact it has phone capabilities (N8000) just takes the cake. Throw in the stylus and it just blitzes the competition.
I know someone will yell at me for this BUT, the ipad has a retina screen and IOS6... I hate the fact they locked down the system so hard. It has not had any major makeovers since it 1st came out. It is a simple system that I find limited and boring, hence I have a note 10.1....
Others will probably disagree and I hope it won't degrade into a Apple vs Samsung war but probably will like all these types of threads do.
I'm not saying the ipad is a useless piece of tech but from personal experience with one, I won't be buying it ever....

We have the IPad 3 and the Note n8000 and if you like to customize your device... the note wins hands down. Browsing is so much better, speakers that you can hear and No iTunes dependency I love the note and don't like using the iPad/iPhone and I was an Apple fan for years.

I must again disagree with those that think the s-pen is the only thing that makes this worthwhile. I barely use it, but still love this tab. As I mentioned in another thread, I just spent 9 days in the hospital and this thing performed flawlessly. I used it constantly because they refused to let me sleep. Not a single lock up. Battery life was great. I was great having the extra memory and never having to worry about manually killing any apps. And the few times I did need the pen, it was there.
Yes, you can buy tablets with better resolution screens. But you can't buy one that performs better.

This pretty much sums it up. The Note's only weakness is its display. Not that it's a bad display; color reproduction, contrast, and brightness are all great. But 147 PPI is a bit behind the times and not the best for text. But given a choice between a higher PPI display or all the Note's features (well beyond inking) I'd choose the latter. I think a lot of folks feel the same way.

For the price I think I'd wait until the next generation. Samsung has been dripping hints that they plan on coming out with some new stuff this year.

There will always be something better just around the corner. You can wait till the Note 10.1 version 2 comes out. But at that point version 3 will be just around the corner.
As of today, this is the best tablet available,IMO. I don't see a version 2 coming for at least another 4 months. More likely it will be more like 6 months. But it's all guess work at this point. If you need or want a tablet now, this is the one to go for.

Want to buy Nexus 4. Still a good device?

Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a Nexus 4 to replace my HTC Sensation. The Sensation has many problems such as huge battery drain and it gets extremely hot during usage. So I thought the Nexus 4 would be a great idea. Pure Android (huge fan of that, was using CM for a long time on my Senny) and Google Support sound good and the price seems to be okay to (I could buy a 16GB variant for about 310€).
Is this phone great? Is it still worth buying considering it's already nearly a year old? Does it have some know problems such as huge battery drain or display problems?
I need this phone for browsing, using the calendar, writing emails/sms and sometimes taking photos. I don't play any games on it except 4 pictures 1 word.
Thanks in advance!

I too came from a Sensation, and it's a fine upgrade, for all the reasons you mention. Perhaps not as durable as HTC's build quality, so be sure to include a decent cover (I use the Diztronic TPU and it looks factory) to protect that beautiful glass. It's a joy to use..you can't go wrong. Cheers!

Honestly, if that is all you use your phone for, you should get the Lumia 1020. But if you want to stay with Android and can wait 4 more months, the 5th Nexus will be out then and should the price be as low as the Nexus4, then it would be better to get that.

The Lumia 1020 would be out of the price range. I'd never pay 400€+ for a phone I only use for work. I probably can't wait till the next release because the Senny really bugs me. I can't use a phone which burns in my hand because it's getting extremely hot while chewing through battery like nothing. My Sensation barely gets through the day with moderate use.

I can't sincerely tell someone to purchase a 7 month old device when knowing a faster device will come for the same price in due time.

Well you can go on buying Nexus 4, everything is a beauty when you compare prices and then it is a google phone so it always have it perks.
If you think you should wait for nexus 5 then its not very much pretty soon bcz this time google launched s4 and htc one as google variant which means next nexus will take time.
Your tasks which u need to perform as you have mentioned would all be performed very well.
Tip I can give even for better battery.
Unlock the bootloader, use custom recovery such as CWM and flash CM 10.1 stable releases which ever is latest.
Find franco kernel and flash that and for better colours use its colour profile.
You will have an outstanding experiance with great display and great battery time.
Best of luck.
NOTE. All decision is urs what ever suits you best.

People will and should buy the device that suits their needs and the price they are willing to pay.
If you want a unlocked / contract free phone the device is a good choice
The entire motion that a new device will be out in a couple months is pointless. He wants a phone now. A couple months is just that. A couple months living with a phone he doesn't want. Then when the next nexus device comes out there will be the next best thing on the horizon.
He a is a basic user that doesn't participate in the stupid I need the lastest and greatest hw spec race.
Sitting around waiting for 4 plus months for a device is just stupid.
Why buy a HTC one now? The plus version is coming? Why by a s4 now? The advanced or whatever version with the 800 is coming in a couple of months.

To each their own, I cannot speak for the needs of TC nor their personal interests. Whether he's comfortable with waiting X months is currently unknown and has not been divulged in this topic, so we can agree to disagree.

He said he probably can't wait for the next release because his phone bugs him.
Even a device like the HTC first would suit him fine hardware and software wise. Not unlocked and cheap of course ( don't even think it launched outside the US or unlocked) but just talking the device itself
There are plenty of users who are not concerned with the I can read the spec sheet pissing matches. Wait for the latest and greatest chip so they can have a higher score in benchmarks etc.

Its definitely still worth buying full price. Its a great device especially if you're a fan of stock android like you said.
Happy phoning.

I really don't need high specs. Benchmarks never intersted me because at the end you probably won't feel any difference between for example the snapdragon 600 and the snapdragon 800 in everyday use. I just want the phone to work well without stuttering and without any hick ups.

If you need a phone now, just go for it. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see what comes up. IMO I usually don't want the first batch of the phone anyway since they are usually the ones with problems.

just buy it
I highly recommend nexus 4.. Believe me it's as smooth as HTC one out even better..
Root and flash cyanogenmod and Franco kernel... That made me a delighted user from a happy user...
Besides it'll have developer support for hell lot of a time to come... Even after people forget about HTC one and s4..

I'm going to buy it at the end of August and I think it is still worth it. However reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259334 scaried me!

Nexus 4 or nexus 5??

I am confused, I had a galaxy note 2 for few months but i recently lost it I am currently using a non smartphone and I know that lots of new phone will be announced next week at IFA berlin 2013 but am not willing to spend a lot on a phone after losing my note 2.
Nexus 4 prices are gone down to clear out the stock for nexus 5 but am not sure if it will be as cheap as nexus 4 was when it first launched. what do you suggest, should i wait till nexus 5 is announced and see if its worth it or get a nexus 4 now?
I also wanted to know if the battery life is good enough to last me a whole day since my note 2 had 3100mah compared to nexus 4 2000mah?
thanks in advance

The battery is good, atleast for me, I can easly get 1 day out of it.
Hmm well PERSONALLY I would buy the N4. But that's because I can't wait when buying something new and because I think that the N4 is already so smooth that you don't some more cores/ghz etc like the N5, because how much faster can it get? The heaviest games are already smooth so...
Maybe only a camera improvement would be nice.
Eitherway it's up to you, these are just my 2 cents.

Get n4 !
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !!

Nexus 4 is indeed an amazing phone with the best pure android experience.
Of course all top branded high end androids will have support community for custom Roms and latest android features.
If you want some more customized UI like touchwiz or sense you can try something else.
But take into consideration that Nexus 4 is a value for money device with high performance which leaves most users satisfied.
It also has a unique design , a nice manufacturer and support both LG and Google.
I would recommend you to give it a try.
( another option for me is Moto X . very nice looks , customizable case , nice features etc. )

Just to reiterate what the other's have said, it's a brilliant value for money device, and recently in the UK at least there has been a 33% price drop from £239 to £159 which is absolutely crazy for a device of this spec. That's like a quarter of the price of the S4 which experiences more lag than the Nexus 4 if kept on touchwiz.
If you're one of those people who gets bored of the phone quite quickly, wait for the N5, I'm sure the price point will be just as good.

Nexus 5 isnt out yet and look at those people coming with their answers to buy n4.
First of all op it would be wise to sit and wait for n5 to come out and compare it on the based reviews with n4.
Then and only then you can say which phone suits you best.
Seriously, you guys sick the **** out of me with your adoration towards n4.

I recently broke my Note 2 and bought a Nexus 4 to replace it, so I feel I should chime in.
1) The Nexus has horrible battery life compared to the Note 2. I wish it wasn't so, but I've recently even gotten a battery pack to recharge it on the go. It lasts maybe 50% as long, and this is with the most recent update (jwr66y). --- EDIT: OP asked if he could use it all day. For me, it's a maybe. With light usage, yes, but not if you use it like you could the Note 2.
2) Switching from the big screen to the small one has been a real challenge. I've caught myself looking at tablets a lot lately, and I never felt I needed one with the Note.
3) While pure android is nice, touchwiz is nice too. I consider them a toss up.
4) The Nexus 4 is a very nice device. It has good build quality, a nice screen, runs fast, and enabling LTE is easy (with T-Mo at least).
Bottom line, I'm seriously considering buying the Note 3 when it releases in the coming weeks, and keeping the Nexus as a backup. It's either that or getting a tablet, but I'd much rather continue to have 1 device.

might as well wait for the nexus 6, itll be even better than the 5 :silly:

It's different when there's maybe a 2 month wait vs. a 14 month wait. I'll be waiting for the 5.

Buy N4 and then sell it off resale value will ofc be good till N5 is released.

The guy with the high post count(sims) clearly missed the whole point.

lol, i think you missed my point, it was an attempt at humor. thats why i included this guy--> :silly:

Well, I have a gnex and a nexus 4, and the nexus 4 is a massive improvement over the gnex, however I'm not sure a nexus 5 phone will be a massive leap over the nexus 4 unless klp is more resource heavy. My n4 is buttery smooth and I even considered buying another one just because there only 200$ now. Go for the nexus 4 and you can probably resell it in a year for 200-300$ still
