First let me say that I am a happy note 2 owner. With that said there is something about the Nexus and pure android that intreges me. Also the price range for an unlocked phone is very good. Anyways I just want to know is there anyone that switches between two phones and how has that been working out for them.

I currently use Iphone 5 as primary and nexus 4 as secondary because I got the iphone 5 for free from work
i was switching from my GS2 to the N4 every other day....i just made the switch to N4....
the N4 for me was hardly ever crashing, true butter experience, had a really good weight and feel.
My GS2 was just too light and felt slippery....
The ROM experience was fun but going to stay stock on the N4 for now
I switch between my GS3 (US LTE version) and my N4. And when I carry both (keeping my S3 in my bag usually) I tether it to my n4 so my N4 can get LTE speeds
Yeah thats what I was think of doing. Like I said I love my note 2 but I am also a tech nut and ha e been resisting th urge to by a Nexus 4 for a couple of weeks lol.

I bought the Nexus 4 as a secondary device, due to the price. I liked it so much, it became my primary device, which surprised me. I tried switching back to one of my other devices, but I'm drawn back to the Nexus 4 every time.
Just out of curiosity what was the other device?

I use a note 2 for my primary personal on Verizon and an N4 for work on AT&T, best of both worlds. then come home to my N10

Hello,
So, topic pretty much says it all.
I would like to buy a Nexus 7, but because I always carry my smartphone with me and it pretty much does everything I need it to, I am afraid of spending the money and not using it enough to justify the cost.
So, what's your case? For what do you use your tablet?
Do you regret buying it?
Cheers

I have always preferred using my phones over my laptop....since I bought the N7 not only have I not even glanced at my laptop I haven't been using my phones that much either...which has been great for their battery life I use the N7 for pretty much everything....paying bills, browsing, texting, etc...which are all the things I did on the phones. If I didn't need the laptop for Odin or kies, I would sell it.

I've carried an iPad with me constantly for the last couple of years, so I knew exactly how I would use my N7. At work for note-taking in meetings, checking email when away from my desk, logging on to my Citrix desktop, listening to music or watching a video when work gets boring In personal time, I watch videos and play music, check email, read (books, magazines), browse the net and play games.
It's never far from my side and gets plenty of use! Justifying the $300 price tag vs. $500-600 for an iPad (I paid more than that for my iPad 1 a couple of years back) is a no-brainer for me.
Don't regret it one bit. My PC is getting far less use at home now (good considering I spend 8 hours a day in front of one at work) and my has been relegated to phone duties.
I don't regret it at all. I use my tablet pretty much every day for most of the day. Like many others have said, I rarely use my laptop for anything anymore unless I have a ton of typing to do.
Not one bit! I haven't been able to put it down since the day I brought it. Sold my laptop and my desktop gets used less and less. I've also been using my Evo LTE as just a phone now lol. Excellent purchase in my book. Trust me you won't be disappointed. If you ever find yourself not using it, you can easily sell it and recoup some of your money.

The thing is I previously had an HTC Sensation as a phone and an HTC flyer as a tablet.
Was using almost always the sensation because the flyer always stayed at home.
Ended up selling both and got a galaxy note to try and have the best of both worlds.
Granted the nexus 7 is a different beast from the flyer, but I fear the same might happen...
Thinking about selling the note and pick a nexus as a smaller phone and a nexus 7.
I am afraid to end up feeling the nexus is too small and the nexus 7 too big to carry around.

I have the GNote and GNex and after using the GNote everything seems small, but the GNex feels like a toy after I've been using the GNote all week. I wish the GNex was a little bigger....even my sgs2 looks bigger next to the GNex, even though it's only 4.5.Hoping they make the next nexus at least 4.8....although "leaks" of specs are rumored to be the same size as the GNex.
Since I got my nexus 7 I don't think I've put it down unless its for charge wile I sleep. Rarely use my xperia s unless I'm out and about. Ive never used my laptop much before anyway. Unless it was for uni. I carry my nexus all over the house. Whether its for readings books, browsing tapatalk or just generally browsing. When I hold my xperia after the n7 it feels so small lol.

Mine has replaced my phone for everything but calling, texting and navigation. Gaming, web, reading ebooks and comics...all more comfortable on the N7.
I'm actually thinking of selling/trading my GNote and getting a Nexus.
I can do everything I did with the SPen just as easily on my N7 with a standard stylus too and my storage needs are happily met with my external drive.
Love the Note but it's usefulness as a phablet isn't there for me anymore.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It all depends on what your current phone is, If it's a SGSIII or other high end device then the Nexus 7 isn't much of a improvement other then having a bigger screen.
I actually still use my SGSIII more then the Nexus 7 as I can do everything and more (like being able to pocket it) on the phone while the Nexus 7 is now just a coffee table family tablet. Games are kind of nice but some of them are very hard to control due to placement of virtual joypads.
I guess I'll either give away the Nexus 7 or figure some other use for it.

There is no comparing a sgs3 to a pure Google tablet. Just no comparison.
Even my GNote at 5.3 is isn't useable as a tablet. Don't know why you think the N7 isn't much of an improvement over a 4.87 ics, touchwiz PHONE.

Really just depends on the battery for me. Two things I don't care for with my current Nexus S 4G is the camera and the small battery. Other than that it's a helluva device. Camera im sure will be better its just the battery im hoping gets a beastly upgrade. Tired of pluging my phone in whenever I want to use it and having to turn off data / jump through hoops or just plain not using my phone to get through a full day.

I'll probably move on either to the Galaxy Nexus or whatever Google's new pure Android offering is; I'm not committing to anything until I see my options in their final release state.
I'm sticking with the Nexus line for sure...
Whatever is available and appealing to me at the time of my upgrade (in April 2013) is what I'll switch to. I imagine there will be another Nexus device out by then, if things go the way I've been reading about. We'll see.
I'm 99.99% sure that I'll be getting the LG Nexus.
Depending in the price for the unlocked ... maybe!!
It looks pretty good.
I'm 99% sure I'll get it, unless they seriously **** it up.

Hi everybody, I want to buy one of this three devices (since I have a very old phone now, the galaxy ace), but I'd like to know which one is the most lagfree. The s4 and the htc one are surely faster (even If I saw some videos in which the n4 with custom rom was faster than an s4 with stock rom), but what about lag? Is the n4 really the smoothest android experience? Thanks in advance!
I have not gotten the chance to try the Galaxy S4 but I have gotten to use an HTC One for a few days, I loved the phone but I still feel my Nexus 4 was a smoother experience. The HTC one is extremely smooth and fast though, no doubt.
Sent from my Nexus 4
I've heard that the s4 has some lag. Either way every android phone I had with oem skin on has gotten more and more slow and laggy, my gnex is almost smoother then my s3 by now.. I have no idea why
Skickat från min Nexus 4 via Tapatalk 2
The S4 is very laggy at the moment. I've had both the AT&T and T-Mobile version both lag during leaving apps. Sometime it lags on the home screen while moving through pages.
HTC one i only got to play with for about 30 mins and it was pretty smooth. I didn't notice lag at all. But the nexus with a custom rom is going to be better until someone makes better use of the HTC one and GS4 power.
And for the record the GS4 lag on a custom rom CM10 and Wicked.
I played with a brand new s4 today, only factory apps installed, and imported contacts, and i definitely noticed some ui lag. Nexus 4 is way smoother imo.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The S4 is stupidly laggy for something with such amazing hardware. From videos that I've seen the One seems pretty much as lag-free as the N4, right now the One is definitely the best phone on the market IMO.
Ok guys, thanks for the help! I want the nexus 4 so badly!

I had a play wit ha S4 yesterday. Its almost unrecognizable as an android device. Samsung has done their best to bloat touchwiz up so bad, it almost wont run. Shame for a phone with such awesome hardware to have stuttering and lag like that .
S4 is too much laggy (exynos octa version) because it doesnt have a govenor and I/O scheduler sufficiently smart to manage the low-power and and performance cores.
If you wanna add a wildcard how about the s4 Google edition, all the nexus experience with the Sammy hardware. Unlocked bootloader out of the box. Should be a contender.

I've got a Nexus 4. Zero lag. Very smooth. I've gone into a few different AT&T stores to check out the HTC One and the S4. Every time I tried the S4, the first thing I noticed was lag. I was really surprised. Even a little jittery when swiping the home screen. It's not terrible, don't get me wrong, but it's there. Didn't notice it with the HTC One.
My thoughts are that the HTC One has the highest build quality of the three. There's no doubt, it's the most "premium" and for that reason it makes me want one. It also has the best screen in my opinion. However, there's also no doubt that the Nexus 4 has the best software (both HTC and Samsung ruined their phones with all the unnecessary changes they made) and there's also obviously no doubt that it will get Android updates the quickest and longest into the future, so for that reason I'd stick with my Nexus 4. I also hate that both HTC and Samsung removed the dedicated app switcher button (which I use all the time). The Nexus 4 battery life is a little disappointing coming from an iPhone 4S, but it blows the iPhone away in almost every other way in my opinion.
The best phone "in the world" would be an HTC One that was a Nexus and had the app-switcher button. But, it doesn't exist. So, Nexus 4 is my vote instead.

So basically i bought a tablet with 4g thinking i would be able to carry around and use as a phone but i was totally wrong. Am in the market looking for a new smartphone. My main concerns are battery life, web browsing like youtube mostly and nfc. I like the nexus 4 and moto g, there are various versions of nexus 4 though like samsung and then lg google. I am confused as to get moto g or nexus 4. Moto g has no Nfc though :/ So which one should i get? any other options?

There is only one version of nexus 4 made by lg. The previous nexus is made by Samsung called galaxy nexus and the one before that called the nexus s. Nexus 4 is a really good phone but you could probably have an easier time getting the moto g brand new for $200 us

Need your advise, whether swapping with One Plus 3 is a good option?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
no. phone is a downgrade. plus swappa has them going for more than 400 which is insane because of demand.
Nah not a chance.
Better processor and ram but worse speakers, display and camera. I suggest you stick with nexus 6p or if you want to upgrade see what the new nexus phones have to offer
I wouldn't, but if I was to consider it I would want money n the boot also..
