upgrading from a galaxy nexus, good idea? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I guess I can't turn back now. I already have sold my Galaxy nexus and waiting for the nexus 4 to come out. I just want your guys' opinion. I sold my nexus for 270$, Do you think that was a solid price? The nexus 4 will cost me about a hundred dollars extra (Canadian tax+shipping). Do you think it was a worth upgrade to spend 100$ on? I am getting the 8GB version by the way which is enough for me.

I did the same thing for the same price. I cant wait for my shiny new 4!

That's a very solid price. I'm selling mine soon and getting less than that..

Well the guy from computer world that reviewed it said to upgrade from the Gnex. I may wait until closer to christmas time (or black friday) to see if there are super quick deals somewhere.

I guarantee if you wait longer, google will release a 32gb Nexus 4 for 349.99 and the 16gb will get dropped down to 299.99 just like what they did with the Nexus 7's.

I'm keeping my gnex. Don't see any major differences between gnex and nexus 4. Also I'm not a big fan of LG, they don't have a good track record with releasing drivers. Maybe LG will improve but want to wait and see.

As this is nexus, LG isn't releasing the software. Google is. so you are waiting for nothing.

Aren't the drivers released by the hardware manufactures?

That's actually a good deal. However you could get 32GB for same price approximately in the near future.

Sell the GN for about $200ish, then spend about $380 (tax+shipping) for the N4.
If you are financially able to drop around an extra $180 for the upgrade to N4, then yeah it's worth it. But if you're breaking your back to spend that $180 or so, then no it's not worth it as the GN is still more than a capable device.
That should pretty much sum it up. Good luck!

What will your next phone be?

Nexus prime?
Galaxy 2 (or Hercules)
Nokia mango phone
Iphone 5
Etc.
Just wanted to know what you guys plan on getting and your reasoning behind it.
I'd get the Galaxy2/hercules but I don't want it to be another throwaway by T-mobile >.>
Otherwise the HTC ruby and nexus prime look good!

Nexus Prime would be my first choice.
Second is Galaxy 2 Hercules
Third is HTC Ruby
No Nokia Mango
No iPhone 5
If the rumor is true about the HTC Ruby and Samsung Hercules getting a October 26 release date and the Samsung Nexus Prime coming out that same month, i'll definitely be getting the Nexus Prime. But the HTC Ruby does look nice, just love htc for good battery life and the notification light. Samsung on the other hand is better and everything else.
I am thinking of just keeping the vibrant for making calls and such and getting a 7" tablet.
I'll probably jump on the nexus, CM working with Sammy to make them more awesome that's going to be his baby its a no brainer!

Cool story bro.
I am telling myself to hold out for the Nexus. The Hercules is tempting, but it seems the Nexus gets so much more attention that you can do so much more with it. The biggest problem with my vibrant is my boredom with it.

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

And so ? Samsung 10.1 tablet can not release normally , there is still no LTE 32GB version in black, original covers for 10.1 tablet...
Theres been rumors of this for a while, looks like internals will be identical, only difference is screen size and it'll probably be more expensive. I'd probably prefer a larger tablet to fit the size of a sheet of paper but i'm not sure if I'd pay extra for it since it'll be close to the size of a laptop screen.

yeah, it's been known for a good bit and even mentioned in one of these threads here. seeing as the 10.1 is $600 i'm sure as hell not gonna spend that much more on an android device that i break a warranty if i want root access. i'll just get a wintab and put what ever os i want. if next year's samsung tablet jumps the $600 price, i'll just have to do with out the spen or just stick with some x64 tablets.

its not an upgrade, its a different model
I believe I will stick with the 10.1 as the screen is currently rounded up to 300 ppi. The 12.2 will have a lower ppi if it has the same resolution, and if it has a higher resolution then the extra processing power will have to accommodate that. The 10.1 is already a little sluggish as it is (hoping for more snappy updates).

Samsung's product releases are already shoddy enough. I'm perfectly content with just getting the friggin 2014 note 10.1, but it's not available yet in Canada despite it being out for 3 weeks and counting in the US. All Samsung Canada has to say is 'sorry we don't know lol'. Anyway if they really want to compete well with Apple, they should really have a shorter wait between announcement and release. Also release simultaneously internationally!
I have half a mind to just go get the damn iPad Air at the time it was announced (which I won't anyway). Apple announced it a month later than the new note and it's going to be coming out sooner here! Hell we don't even have a firm release date for the WiFi version here. Even in the US there's no word about the LTE version. Crappy logistics.

Indeed, it is just like the 8" version that will be announced the coming months. From early tests it appears the 12.2 inch Note has much faster RAM but otherwise is similar. (faster RAM will improve overall performance somewhat)

so you STILL haven't figured how to make one. you were even given a link on how to make your own the last time you started whining about this.

Why don't you post this somewhere more appropriate? It has nothing to do with the 12.2. Developers do what they for fun and have real lives. I am sure some one will get a recovery for this.
They could have announced a 12.2 Version coming later in the fall at launch.

I actually heard about the 12 before I heard about the refreshed 10.1. I debated over waiting for the 12 or getting the 10 and opted for the 10 since I have my 11.6 700t. I can easily dual boot a decent working version of android on it.
Coming soon maybe... I wonder how much it'll cost
