First of all Hello to all of ya Nexus'ers , How are ya's?
As the title says ,i've just ordered my 16GB Nexus 4 and its on its way to my place XD Expecting it in 3-5 business days (According to Play Store)
And i must admit...i really cant wait...this is gonna be me first real Top-Notch smartphone (As you can see in my signature, my earlier models werent exactly gutsy).
I've always been a Xperia user so im pretty much used to how that phone worked (Rooting,Recovery,CWM etc) but judging by a few posts i've seen around the N4 is going to be a whole new diferent world me.
Any of ya's got any tips for me to use my phone efficiently and get the most out of it ? (Or avoid doing something for w/e reason?)
Yeah it sounds like quite a newbye question (Which i dont think i am) but sometimes very few small tips avoid future major issues or damage.
Thanks in advance chaps ,
Respect.
EDIT : Tips so far from all of the awesome N4 users around :
-Buy : Case + Protector
-Mod : Unlock BL + Root + Flash ROMs or Kernels.
-Possible Issues : Rear Glass is very sensible.
The nexus 4 is my 7th android phone. I rooted and rom'd every one of them until now. For me, it is just that rock solid. I may eventually root for the permissions. But I haven't been tempted to replace the ROM. My suggestion is to just enjoy the stock android goodness!

First of all thanks for the tips!
Yeah i've been looking around and i could see that besides benchmark scores...the diference between the diferent ROMs around isnt significant ,mostly just styling. So yeah i am thinking of just keeping the stock ROM not only for the Warranty but also the fact that i've always been fighting to get a stock AOKP/AOSP feel in my Xperias...and here it just comes by default XD.
Btw,can this phone be rooted without unlocking the bootloader ? And also will Rooting void the Warranty?
What about Hardware stuff ? As in...something i should know about the phone casing or interior issues?
Respect
You need to unlock bootloader to root.
More tips: this phone has a /sdcard partition. It won't get wiped when you factoy reset. It's a good thing to know.
don't RMA for stupid reasons.
@aba Oh alright ,hmm thats making me think if i should unlock the bootloader or not.
@m4r0v3r No worries mate, unless there is a important and/or noticeable issues ,i'm not planning to RMA it.

good stuff, I guess unlock, root, and flash another kernel on is the first thing to do, personally I prefer Matrixes kernel and trickster mod to tame the beast. Roms wise I've used Paranoid Android and CM10.1, really it was all for the PIE feature and I prefer the one on CM10.1. Your choice really, but that's the only reason am not on stock rom because that thing is pretty damn good.
Like someone suggested, unlock and root, then play with stock for a while. It will be a similar to your past cm10.1 experience. But just see how it works for you. Then, go ahead and flash away.
I've had cm on mine for months, but then I had to flash the factory image to fix the storage issue and I've stayed with it for the last week.
No matter what, enjoy it!

Unlock the bootloader so if you decide to root or flash custom roms you can do so without fully wiping your device allowing you to back up your data before

Get a case, and screen protector.
I like Cruzerlite. The back of the phone is glass. I would set up some cloud apps if you already haven't. Adrive and box gave me 50gb each. I stayed with stock for some time, but I didn't know what I was missing out on. I stayed stock for so long, because my last phone only had cm9.I wanted to feel jelly bean. I couldn't stand the bottom three buttons and pie control has taken care of that. I use razbeanjelly rom with Franco kernel. With the new kernel my battery life is so much longer.
Look up what your new phone can do and iPhone can't.
Have fun

I agree. Get a case to protect your investment and from accidental falls. So yeah you must be unlock in order to root the device.
And don't ask what rom or kernel is the best. Lol.

Just want to give my experience - better to unlock as soon as you get it, I regret not doing that because I had to do a full wipe after using the phone for a few weeks!
So I'm toying with the idea of getting a new phone. Currently using an SGS3 and I'm getting bored of it. I've gotten really used to using CM10.1, and have been wanting a more native experience that is akin to what I have on my N7. The problem is, on my SGS3 I'm having issues with various roms either not giving me good enough battery life, or there are stability issues (current ROM is actually experiencing both right now).
I've been toying with the idea of going entirely new, either HTC One or SGS4, but the downside to either is that the community for both are infantile, and I don't really want to wait. Both phones have some fantastic qualities, and either would be great. However, going back to what I originally said, I'm really liking the base Android feel, without any junk overlaid (TouchWiz or HTC Sense, though Sense 5 is kind of pretty).
I guess that leads in to a couple of questions. First, would anyone recommend NOT switching from SGS3 to an N4? Would I be prudent to wait for Google I/O before going with an N4 in case they release new hardware revisions? And finally, if given a choice between the 4 devices listed (SGS3, SGS4, HTC One or N4), what would be the pick? I know they have a laundry list of differences, but I'm thinking a more overall picture. The only phone listed that I haven't actually physically used is the SGS4 (for reasonably obvious reasons). I've been really leaning towards an N4, but are there any major downsides that I might want to know about? The biggest thing is whether or not I should go with the brand new or with something that is somewhat more established.
Sorry for the slight hijack.

Between the 4 devices, I would pick the N4, simply for the fact that vanilla Android is just so much prettier than Touchwiz and Sense. Plus, the Nexus looks better that the One and the S4, in my opinion.
To find flaws for the other devices, the One only has a 4mp camera, and, although they say it's still a very good camera, I have my doubts. The SGS4 is the live proof that Samsung has run out of ideas for their phones. Why would anyone need two processors on a phone , running alternatively, just for battery life? They could have done something else with that unused space.

The camera on the One is a big downside for me. I've seen some comparisons and it definitely has visible differences. While I don't take a lot of pictures, when I do, I want them to look good. Fortunately the 8MP camera in my SGS3 has been good, and I don't necessarily think that the N4 would be a whole lot different.
I agree that the vanilla Android look is awesome. It is currently a big reason why I'm looking to get away from my SGS3 like I said. I've been using a CM10.1 based ROM on it, and I can't go back to TouchWiz at all. Obviously my N7 is using vanilla Android as well, and I'm just so used to it now that anything else is bleh. It really feels better, having used a few different interfaces on Android phones (my first was an HTC Desire using some version of Sense, obviously TouchWiz, and I've played with Sense 5, none of them appeal to me any more).
I'm trying to price an N4 right now so that I might just head out tomorrow and get one.
I know there are some threads on it, but how obvious is the heat throttling on the N4? I do play some games that generate heat (for example, the last Kairosoft game I played causing my tablet to become almost uncomfortably warm, and I do play Ingress with tends to make my SGS3 pretty warm as well). If I have any reservations about the N4 aside from lack of expandable storage (easily solved with USB OTG though, which I do with my N7 anyway), its the throttling and battery life.

I haven't had any heat problems with the N4. Those were new android users that thought that a 40 degree Celsius processor is an overheating one
Had mine for like two+ months now. It's my seventh android phone. I rooted it and changed it as soon as I opened the box. I have since played with stock ROMs and while they are nice I don't see the point in not running a faster and smoother ROM with more features. Its what nexus is all about IMO.
Enjoy it. I do.

the htc one goes for $800 on ebay. .the nexus 4 can be had for $300. So if you pay the same price for both, get htc > sell > buy nexus 4 > have leftover cash.
I just ordered 2 nexus 4. here are some issues to look out for.

As some one above mentioned,unlock the bootloader before installing any thing.This would save a lot trouble later if you want to switch to custom ROM.
I would suggest try Paranoid Android or CyanogenMod,they would serve the need of the most.

Ok, so Verizon is doing a hundred off all their 4G smart phones right now. Ive been waiting for a hew phone and this may be the time.
I currently have a D2. I originally looked at, and was ready to buy, the D4 for the keyboard, but the screen was terrible when compared to the other phones and I've honestly been using the keyboad on my D2 less and less.
I've also looked at the Galaxy Nexus, I've tried to like it but I just can. I was very dissapointed by the hardware when it was announced first off and secondly it just doesn't feel like a very well built phone. It feels cheap and plasticky. Ive seen way too many threads about signal issues too. Having a phone you can do anything to doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Also its the most expensive, by a hundred dollars.
I've looked at the Razr and love the screen and speed of the phone. Its got the Moto build quality, Gorilla Glass, kevlar, aluminium etc etc all the other stuff they say it has. Its very light and thin, too much so I think. Also its a bit wide and Im not sure I like the way it feels in the hand. I like the size of the Maxx better actually, but the hundred extra they charge for whats just a bigger battery is a bit asinine. Also its a moto and that means locked down tight. Sure there will be some ROMs for it but not to then extent you have with the Nexus or HTC. I'm kinda used to it coning from the D2 but sometimes it would be nice to have more variety and support. Even though it looks like someone may have figured a way to bypass the bootloader, but who knows how long it'll take to filter to CDMA phones. I also don't know if that would increase support a ton.
I've looked at the Rezound and in my hand that feels the best to me. Its got an unlocked bootloader now so support is going and it should increase. I like the screen. I could really care less about beats, but Its cool it comes with a halfway decent set of headphones I guess. Things that worry me is the build quality, but I think its probably fine and battery life. I've also heard that the call quality is not the best.
So it seems the prices are running 99 for the Razr and Rezound and 199 for the Nexus. I'm leaning towards the Rezound right now, as long as battery life or call quality isn't awful.
Anyone have any opinion or suggestions Id appreciate it? Thanks
if I had to choose right now, I would go with the Galaxy Nexus since it's a plain Google phone with no fluff and built for ICS from the start instead of Gingerbread build and upgrade to ICS (at some point).
I wouldn't trade my VZW Incredible 2 for anything....Yeah, it's a year old or so, but still one of the best phones built. Slap a case on it and it's nearly indestructible, and I've never had a single issue with the stock ROM.
except I'm on T-mobile now so I'm getting an Amaze

Ok, but there are ICS builds for the Rezound, obviously not official ones, so I should be able to use one of them and get the ICS experience on that as well right?
Is there anything that can be or has been done in the dev community to address the battery life and signal issues that Nexus is having?
All I can say is "I love my Nexus". Signal is fine for me. Battery life as well. The determining factor for battery life is really screen time. I can currently get a solid 4 hours screen on time using the stock battery. If I'm not using the screen as much I can get 15 hours easy , although I'm still playing with different kennel settings etc. Using Franco kernel and rooted 4.0.4 ROM at the moment.

Obviously the Nexus is a hundred dollars more then the Rezound at this point. You may not be having signal issues, but a lot of people are. Now the question is is it hardware or software. Software can be fixed and Id be fine dealing with that until it was taken care of. Im going to take it on faith that its software and let just say itll be fixed eventually.
How much can different kernals effect signal and battery life? Im thinking it can be quite a bit.
Does anyone have a battery life comparison of the Nexus to the Rezound? I just need to know if theyre comparable.
Also you can now swap kernals on the Rezound too. Sure it will never have the dev support the Nexus has, but it should have a good bit right?
I just want to know if I do decide on the Nexus that Im actually getting a hundred dollars more phones worth.
One of the things that does make the Nexus attractive though is resale. It will always go for more then most phones just of because of what it is. Once the next big HTC drops the Rezound will take a hit in the resale market.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Having had all Verizon's phones I'm happiest with my nexus razr looked and felt the best but Motorola killed it with blur for me. The rezound gets uncomfortably hott trust me I went thru 3. The hardware is not bad at all on the nexus don't go off of a spec sheet you honestly can't tell the difference. Ics is top notch pure Google experience works this time

I have a friend who is letting me use the upgrade on their line at the end of September to get a phone so I can keep my unlimited. As it sits right now I have a Galaxy Nexus. I love the phone but want something with newer tech. I had a few questions though.
The first being battery life of the phone compared to the GNex. I'm not at all satisfied with the performance of the Nexus regarding the battery. I average under 2 hours screen time and medium usage, and that sort of stinks. Since the S3 has the same size battery as my extended I have now, is the batter life good in those regards?
Secondly there are some good looking phones coming down the line. I'm a picky person when it comes to screens. Is the quality good regarding the screen? I have some burn in on my nexus and I don't know how the S3 is. Also, the nexus has an annoying issue where the screen loses sensitivity after a while. Does that happen on the S3 as well?
Would I be better waiting for the Note 2, RAZR maxx HD, or the HTC device or getting the S3?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Here's my personal opinion;
If you're looking for newer tech, why don't you wait for the new Nexus phone(s) coming around December? The S3 is bound to lag behind upcoming phones because technology is moving really fast.
Since the Galaxy S3 has the same screen as the Galaxy Nexus, it is bound to be affected by screen burns after a year or more. The screen quality is excellent but Super AMOLED screens are prone to burn-ins. The Note 2 has a better screen, in my opinion.
The battery life of the S3 is superb! Really. My friend's Nexus doesn't last long at all whilst my S3 can last for a long time!
Stick with the Nexus for now.
Thanks for the honest responses. I wish more companies would follow HTC and use super LCD2, the screen is awesome and crystal clear. I like the note 2 but I fear it might be just too big.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Just wait a bit for the optimus g or a bit more for the new nexus. The sg3 is great, but there are going to be a few better choises very soon, at least hardware-wise. Then razr maxx hd looks promising, It might be a good bet considering the google acquisition of moto...
I have never been a fan of LG, they always seem to be lacking. I heard a rumor about the new nexus being the 5 inch phablet from HTC. Not sure how I feel about having a super big phone. I'll have to check out the note 2 to figure out if I could handle it.

The razr maxx hd looks nice on videos and articles, but Its a bit thick and has a dual core cpu. Lg makes great hardware, but I've never liked the software and slow updates. There are probably going to be other devices with a s4 pro(quadcore) chip soon I would wait and go for one of those.
SGS3 is awesome... Best phone I ever had (and I had quite a few..).
Battery lasts me all day (just email, browsing & reading newsfeeds), no problem. Screen is nice, no complaints. The S3 is just gorgeous and really speedy. I use mine with a 64GB SD-Card, which is the reason why I passed on the GNex.. I need storage space for movies and music!
Best of all, I hook my S3 up to my 42in flatscreen TV (LG), and the picture is nice and crisp...
Did I already suggest you should get an S3 (Quad core)?
Sure, there will always be better & faster phones coming out, but this one just has everything you (probably) want.
Just one thing I really hate about the S3: the physical 'Home' button. HTC did that better on the Rezound (a crappy phone w/ a nice screen...), even though those morons gave it 4 buttons. - How dumb is that?
I certainly will never get another HTC as long as 'Sense' is around - even though I used to root all my phones and put Custom ROMs (preferably CM) on them anyway...
However, I have to admit that after using Samsung TouchWiz (in JB flavor) for the last 6-8 weeks, I have no desire switching to some always half-broken CM ROM anymore.
With TW, at least, all the features work.. right away!!!

I am having this phone and after using a store model I found it pretty smooth.
i have to honestly say this phone is amazing. not a single fault with it.
its heavily supported by the community, paranoid android is amazing too. etc etc etc.
but as always, just look at what you need. theres never any point looking for the greatest tech, because another this or that will come along in a month and be the new 'best'.
for me, external SD card was a must, removable battery is always nice, etc etc.
either take the dive and get an S3 which will be a really really solid phone for the next 12 months and probably longer, or wait another 6 and get the next big thing, be it nexus, galaxy, HTC <insert name here>... but just make sure it does what you need (and with the number of custom roms out there, this is becoming more and more flexible)

Same here, this phone is great, lots of fun and also needed an SD card and battery I could swap. Nothing worse than arriving somewhere and having to wait for the phone to charge!
I was thinking of jumping from the Sensation 4G with Tmo to the GS3 since they are offering an upgrade 2 months early...I think I will stay with my rooted Sensation a bit longer its awesome anyways but I think Tmo will be getting a new line up before Christmas...Im considering the Note 2 but it may be too big Im not sure yet...just dont wanna waste an upgrade and a month later the lastest and greatest hit the market....

A lot comes down to personal preference.
Like the first reply said why not wait until december.
I had the Galaxy S3 and I hated it.
Found it very uncomfortable to use. Impossible to operate in one had. I would try it out yourself, i wish i did, its not as smooth as everyone makes out. However, i was advised to do lots of things to it which would have made it smooth like rooting etc (i couldn't be bothered with the hassle of that)
Screen is very good but not as good as other phones and its really bad in sunlight. Almost unusable.
Dont know what battery other people have got but its not very good. You wouldn't get through a day with it thats for sure. Android fans had a tough time over the years with battery but this is an improvement.
Also, the device is not very pretty as others seem to think. Again this is personal preference. Its very plasticy and flimsy. One drop and its dead. Poor build quality.
As you can see my post is very negative due to the experience I had with it. Personally, if your an android fan wait til december.

An opinion, that most people do not share. I would just wait for the next Nexus or look at what HTC is brining out. Something tells me the new Nexus phone may be a disappointment, I do hope I'm wrong though

This requires more of an depth response than I currently have time for, I'll post again later tonight. Very quickly, I really like the LGOG, but I just have some niggles that are killing me, and most of them I *think* would be solved on the N4.

I haven't tried the LGOG but they are essentially the same internal components except the LGOG has what I hear is a pretty mediocre 13 megapixel camera. I don't like the LGOG design because it's more square-ish and the rounded look of the Nexus 4 is much better but that is a matter of taste. Stock JB could solve some of your problems if they are software related, from what I hear Motorola's and LG's android skins are not very good.
Havent had the Otimus G but it looks like a very very good phone...But if you switch to the N4 you wont regret it...Development is gonna go crazy for this phone...theres so many Devs that I know that are coming to this phone who are just waiting to get one...this N4 forum is already great with very helpful people and its only gonna get better so if you looking to tweak and rom out...this is the spot...believe me!!!

Stock JB could solve some of your problems if they are software related, from what I hear Motorola's and LG's android skins are not very good.

AT&T LGOG has the 8MP cam, as well as an SD slot, and LTE. I thought the AT&T LGOG looked better than the N4, but I haven't held an N4. LG's Android skin is okay. Not as intrusive as Sense, but not as silly as Touchwiz. I never use the stock launcher on a phone, so with the LG you can't notice it much.
I don't have LTE around here, so that's not an issue. Performance wise the AT&T LGOG is superb for the most part. Even with ICS. Its the smoothest/fastest Android device I've used. (I've used a TON, all the big players except the new DNA)
HUGE deal breaker for me is the notification LED on the AT&T LGOG. Its a small ring around the power button. Can't see it. Ever. Also its not multi-colored. Then you put a case on it, even the Belkin bumper, and its completely covered up. Gone.
My WiFi performance is horrible. The range seems very short, and it never wants to automatically connect. Not just my home network, but several others. Then when I manually try to do something, it usually gets stuck in a half off/half on state, and I have to reboot. This could be a software issue that could very easily get fixed in the future.
A lot of us are having insane battery issues. Myself, if I'm SUPER lucky, I get 10hrs. Android OS is always at the top, by far. The screen isn't ever at the top no matter how much you use it. Some are saying its a 3G fast dormancy issue. I've got LTE disabled. I'm also running a no bloat ROM, with a kernel that's under-volted. Again, software issues that are probably going to be fixed eventually.
Which brings me to my last issue. Dev support. The bootloader is unlocked, and that's awesome. If you look in the dev section, we have ONE rom. If you look in the Original dev section, we have ONE kernel. I have no idea if the AT&T version is going to take off or not, but its off to the slowest start I've ever seen on a new device of this caliber. Also I'm missing JB. I'm really REALLY missing AOKP. Some of the best times I ever had on an Android device was my GNex w/AOKP.
So this is where I'm at. Give up a better looking phone (yes yes, debatable) LTE, (which I don't have anyway) and the SD slot, to gain a MUCH better notification LED, JB 4.2, WAY WAY more dev support, and obviously faster updates. (I've had Nexus phones before, hell I still have an N1)
Thoughts?

Design is a matter of taste, agree there.
I gave up LTE. I had 15-20 Mbps and now I have 3-7 Mbps. I only notice the difference when I try to download big files. I can barely notice the difference when I watch HD videos. My brother has a Nexus 4 on T-mobile and he averages 15-20 Mbps. I am in San Diego BTW.
I got the 8GB version and I don't need more than that. I carry an iPhone 3G as a PMP and I just got a $50 HTC One V that I am switching to. I am trying to move my Music and Videos to the cloud but the slower data is a little bump in the road.
I think LG HAD to make a top of the line phone for AT&T so they came out with the LGOG but knew that it wasn't going to sell too well. I still haven't seen an add for one. I am pretty sure that the average consumer does not go into the store with the knowledge of the LGOG even existing.
The Nexus 4 is probably going to be one of the top 3 phones with dev support, probably only behind the GS3. Since the LGOG from AT&T doesn't even seem to be the same version from other GSM version you can bet there's going to be a VERY small dev support.
They are identical hardware, sans LTE. But in the very beginning the N4 was having throttling issues and low benches for all the reviewers. Not that benches mean anything for real word usage. How's it feel?

Someone said that benches were probably not optimized for the hardware and 4.2, haven't tried myself or seen any new benches.
I like it. The device feels solid. I never owned a Gnex but it felt plasticy just like most Samsung device including my old Note. I am really not concerned about the glass but I take REALLY good care of all my devices. I like the design. I always put a case on my phones but I like this design too much to cover it up so I just got screen protectors for the front and back. I hear people saying it scratches if you put it on a counter but then again doesn't all glass scratch? The software is fast, smooth, snappy, etc... It's stock, it's great. I haven't even found a reason to install a different ROM.
Device feels very great...super fast...no lag at all...Im very happy I decided to go for the N4...I have no complaints at all...

I'm gettting about 6mbps down with the LGOG. As long as the N4 gets close to that, I'm fine. I'm on WiFi most of the day.
You haven't seen the commercial with the guy making the action scene in a movie w/the AT&T LGOG? I've seen it several times. But, NO one around me knows about the LGOG, the SGSIII is the big one right now. ( I had the international version on launch day, great phone) I get asked all the time "why did you get of your SGSIII???" as they look at me like a befuddled puppy.
I would think the N4 should be THE top dev phone, its a Nexus after all? (phone for devs) The GNex dev section was nuts.

Yeah, I stopped using cases awhile back, and started using Ghost Armor. But with this phone I didn't wanna cover it up, so it got nothing. Then I found the Belkin bumper case, and tried that. Not bad, but I wouldn't do it again. Personally I like the glass. Gives it a spiffier, heavier feel. But then again I liked the thin light feel of the SGS2, Gnex, and SGS3. I'm not real picky about style/feel. Although I can't stand HTC's layout. The power button on top makes me want to throw the phone. (I did like the One X though, other than the power button and Sense)
I am however a flash/customization-aholic. I was really banking on the AT&T LGOG dev support taking off more than it has.

I am a big smart phone fan in general but even I didn't know about the LGOG until people started saying that the Nexus 4 was going to be pretty much the same thing as the LGOG. Maybe I did hear about it but I didn't care, I wasn't too happy when I heard LG was making the next Nexus device. LG is just not too good at marketing their products and making customers even consider getting an LG product. If you don't get LTE in your area then I think the Nexus 4 is a no brainer. You may even get faster speeds on HSPA+, some people get about 10-15 Mbps on their Nexus 4. I am in an LTE market so I am screwed, AT&T is not going to develop their HSPA+ network anymore here.
Yeah I'm leaning towards getting the N4. I wish someone who's had both could post. The LED and JB w/dev support alone is enough to convert me. LTE is useless, and I will slightly miss the SD slot.
Any WiFi or battery issues?
I see you can actually order one now, but its 6-7 weeks out!! It will be old news by then!

This is outdated. Starting with the Optimistic G, LG's skin is now in "Not Awful, But Bulky" territory, and Motorola's skin is actually quite good (starting with the Atrix HD and other ICS-based devices), and provides some genuine functional improvement on AOSP without any real downsides.
Is anyone coming to the One from Nexus 4? If so, why?
I went from Nexus 4 to HTC Droid DNA last Saturday (going back today) to this HTC One.
I like this much better. Sound and responsiveness are better to me.

How do you like the Sense compared to the stock N4?
I prefer stock, but the new version of Sense really isn't bad. It does not slow the device down like their previous versions did.
I just got my HTC One from AT&T,coming from a Nexus 4. I have to say this is the only phone I could have switched from. The build is superior, new sense isn't bad although I prefer stock JB. But the keyboard is alsoa pleasant surprise on the One.

My Nexus 4 is going on ebay next week. Most overrated phone. I still have my white GNex so I will still get the updates.
Had my HTC one now since became available, moved from N4, still have N4 but so far not been tempted to go back. New sense is pretty good, would like to turn blink feed off but its not intrusive to be an issue. Sound quality is much better through my head phones over the nexus and camera is better. More storage is a bonus too. Over all a much better phone even better if came with untouched android. Main reason I changed is I'm a tech junky and like HTC kit been waiting for them to bring out something of this quality.
Now a Nexus like this... Yes please!

This will most likely be my plan as well. I actually ordered the 32gb from HTC last night. After selling my N4, I'll be down about $250 which I'll just consider as an upgrade cost. If the N5 follows the same pricing structure as the 4, I should be able to break almost even when selling/buying.
Hi all, I m on N4 right now and I do like it a lot, will probably give KLP a spin then watch if some CM and co are around on the One, then I ll get rid of it.
My question is regarding the battery?
I know, I know, everyone is different, but the personal habits should more or less carry between phones for one individual, right?
So please give me your impressions regarding this?

From what I've read, the battery life is similar to the N4. One of the reviews also said the One has a really good standby (screen off) battery life, but someone who actually has it will have a better opinion.
Given sufficient funds, I would strongly advise to get the One over the N4. I really hated screen responsiveness, camera and the weird feeling of the glass back. And the speaker on the N4 can't even be compared to the ONE. And Sense has really made a big step forward. As all the others, I like a stock experience, but can completely work with Sense 5.0 in a satisfying way.

Well, N4 is also quite good if I don't use it, but as soon as screen is on, the percentages fly away quite quickly. For example I use my N4 to read a lot, which is not very ressources intensive, but really the battery is going fast!
I m not trying to start an argument, I m simply curious

I feel you, I usually have my N4 plugged in when I'm at my desk, or else the battery will drop pretty fast.

I think the speaker will be my favorite change. If the N4 is in my pocket, I can hardly hear the sound, since the little speaker hole is so easy to get covered up. I'm also willing to get Sense a go, worst case I'll just load a launcher.
So guys, I think I will be moving to the Nexus 5 and I water to take your opinions and if you want to change to it...then why?
I have two main reasons, the first would be to simply expand, I would like to test other phones than samsung and starting with a Nexus is the perfect choice. The other and MAIN reason would be Rom and Mod comp ability. What I mean here is that stock nexus devices should and as I know get many Roms, and i love exploring all the great Roms out there, and love tweaking my phone to the MAX. The problem here is that I own an I9500 and as you know that thing has a very low amount of Roms (Thanks to all debs who went through and created Roms for this device) but what I mean is that they are very limited. I remember on my Galaxy S1 how many Roms there were and how many Roms I flashed. Another problem would be that there are no stock android Roms, or stable ones at least, which limits everything. Along side with that Samsung is making it even harder to flash custom Roms (there is a post about this) but anyway it is becoming tougher, and that is kind of the opposite of what I want ( I AM NOT HATIN, I HAVE BEEN A SAMSUNG USER FOR YEARS). One example would be that we can't flash an older firmware, and that made so many problems for people like loosing their IMEI.
So tell me your opinions.
Nexus line will always be the first to get software updates. What you'll lose from moving are the expandable memory, removable battery, better camera, IR feature, perhaps better headphone sound as your version has the Wolfson DAC. Somethings to consider if any of those are important to you. Us i9505 owners have better development, also the ability to flash GPE roms.
I've personally ordered the N5 to give it a try if I don't like it I will return it under the DSR regulations we have in the UK. I do like Nexus products heck I had the N4 before moving to the S4 and have a N7.2 as well so know how development for those products are.
You'll gain instant updates, a plethora of roms and kernels, hassle free unlocking and no lock downs like Knox. A beefier CPU. Etc.

Thanks for your answer. As for my loss, well you will always need to sacrifice something to get something else, but for me the most vital thing would probably be the expandable storage and maybe the headphone sound. As for the IR blaster, camera, and battery they aren't major for me, as I have never had to change batteries, barely used the IR blaster, and don't use my phones camera when taking important photos. So I hope that if I do get the Nexus 5 I would have a great experience.
You sure will have a great experience. Just check the N4 and N7 threads and see how many roms etc there are. With custom roms the experience will get even better. You may find stock Android weird at first but you'll get use to it.

By the way which model of the S4 of you own?
Thanks!
I own a I9505 but I hate the screen and the AOSP bugs so the new Nexus is a logical move for me.
No more waiting for android updates and no more purple smearing issue with the screen.
Can't wait !

I actually never had screen problems (probably because of different model) but I agree.....NO MORE WAITING FOR UPDATES!!!!
I have one on the way. I first reason I bought it so that I could play around with OSs more, not just ROMs. Trying out different ROMs is fun but it is still Android. I hope to see ports of FirefoxOS, Sailfish, and Touch for the Nexus 5.
Second, I've had many Samsung devices and developers have always found a way to get them open for playing with but KNOX is different. It was not meant to be circumvented and Samsung must keep it that way. As people figure out ways around it Samsung will be forced to take more aggressive actions or the whole thing is useless for enterprise and government organizations. Samsung started down the path and will be forced to follow it.
Last reason, I had an LG Optimus G prior to my S4, and I really liked it. It was a great device and instilled confidence in their ability to make nice handsets.
There are a few drawbacks to the change for me. I will miss some of the hardware features like the sd and battery. I will also miss some of the software my carrier provides like navigation.

+1. I am thinking of doing the same. While nothing is perfect. The nexus 5 is as good as it can get in terms of ui and responsiveness. I have yet to read some reviews though from some of the top reviewers specially camera , screen and battery reviews. Just read CNET review and they mentioned that the screen is not as good as the iphone5 and HTC one. Not very bright and under sunlight its less that satisfactory. It also doesn't compare in terms of vibrancy to a gs4 or a note 3. The video sample footage they shot is also pretty ordinary (a little jittery and kind of extremely sharp, almost like playing a video game with AA turned off). So I am still holding my horses but really like this phone otherwise. Only if the bottom bezel (chin) wasn't too big. It feels like a waste of space.

I think we have several Dislike Threads forS4. Why we need this one.? You wanna move on, Then its good for you but please let S4 Users live in Peace.
Well this thread does serve a purpose since people who switched can give a comparison on what is good/bad about the N5 in comparison to the S4.
I for one want a nexus device
Ever since i got into android I always had a samsung, well still have 1 year and 4 months in my contract so i guess my next device is gonna be the N6.
I need a microSD slot and I like having a removable battery, AMOLED and full-sized screen (the navigation bar takes up room). S4 for me.
Staying with S4
Why?
rocking 64GB of sexy stroage
Strong 2800 Battery (also got a 3900mah battery for it)
Octo-Core ( 4 x 4)
Android 4.3
i'll jump to S5 when its out,
Nexus 5 looks like a business phone no sd card cant remove battery and 32GB won't cut it in this day n age wake up people.
