Reasons why your still with the Nexus S?

Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone

I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.

Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

+1 This phone is smexy! Plus, I really don't see a significantly better speed increase on my friend's GNex... They do everything at roughly the same speed!

guys, what is a good extended battery that is under $20 or $15 that is good and doesnt need a different battery door?

1. cant afford
2. dont want to leave you guys behind (did that twice to others already)
3. it works!!! isn't that all you need?

It has Matr1x.

I use a galaxy tab for my larger screen fix, so I prefer the smaller size and weight of the NS, not to mention the it's superb performance.

Just buy a spare. Those cheap extended ones aren't really that much better in performance from reports I've seen online. You can't bump up the maHs without increasing the size of the batteries just yet.

1. Awesome development and community support
2. NFC/Wallet. It's cool to pay with your phone.
3. It's beautiful and it works.
4. Contract still not up yet .

The nexus has the best form factor of any phone to date. Its kind of a shame all the manufacturers are moving towards making giant phones.

s3 costs almost 750-800 usd in my country so i rather stick to this

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

:good:

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood

That's a good idea, I actually bought my Epic on Swappa, brand new, for $80 dollars, works great.

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z

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

trading my htc one for nexus 4?

so i originally had the iphone 5 but i traded that for an htc one and i must admit am a phone junkie always wanting to switch things up and now i got an offer for my htc one plus 40 dollars. only thing im sad about is downgrading from 32 gigs to 16 but for some reason i really want to try the nexus 4. would you guys reccomend this? yes or no. i dont think you can go wrong with either phone honestly

You're getting ripped off in my books. HTC one is twice the phone mate.

well the thing is nobody on craigslist is selling one. should i ask for more money? if i honestly deserve more money than $40 plus the trade im sure hed understand and if not i can just keep my htc one. i just kind of like the hardware setup of the htc one as far no hardware keys etc

Is the HTC unlocked? Sell it on eBay and buy the nexus. But honestly, it's not worth it the nexus is somewhat of a downgrade. My bro has a one and the screen and speakers alone are a lot better. Plus, 16gb does suck I have 10 GB of music and I don't like to stream because T-Mobile doesn't have the best signal when I'm driving around town. And if you don't like sense put cm on the phone. The developer edition comes out soon so vanilla Roms should be bug free and updates will be on par with Nexus 4

htc is not unlocked i could sell on craigslist though how much money extra would i be getting if i sold my htc one and bought a nexus 4 from ebay. i would honestly rather just keep my htc one than go through that hassle how much money would be good for a fair trade and how can i explain to him such as we already agreed on 40 but plan on meeting up tomorrow

Sell the one on eBay or clist or swappa. Then buy the nexus off of eBay or the playstore. I think a new nexus is about 350 or so. A HTC one used is about 450 to 500 I'm guessing. The point is that a bad deal on your side. The nexus has been out for about a year and the one for about a month. The nexus can be boght brand new at a cheaper rate then the one.

Oh see I don't know how much you can really sell for since its locked to a certain carrier. My brother got a really good deal when upgrading contract it essentially cost him $50 (paid $150 with a $100 mail in rebate) if I were you I would just keep the HTC. Is there something it lacks for you

Its not in stone. I've backed out of deals just say you did some research and the price difference is not worth the trade. You aren't obligated even if you make a verbal agreement to meet.

honestly i just wanted to try something different and the nexus looks pretty bad ass to me i just like the over all design. i am not all up to date on specs and features so im not going in very educated to this trade thats why i came here i like the htc and all but i really have always sort of had a thing for nexus phones. so just keep the htc is the vibe im getting? what phone WOULD be worth trading the htc one for? im always looking for something new...smh

Nexus 4 has a bad photo camera.
No full LTE support.
No extSD.
but has much better software cos it's vainilla/aosp Android with Google binaries that are supported on AOSP without issues.

The Nexus 4 hardware would be a downgrade. How about you flash your H1 to aosp instead? Then you would have the same software as the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Currently no phone is better in my opinion. This and the gs4 are essentially equal in hardware it depends on preference of amoled over LCD. However, I do think the features touchwiz offers like the hover gestures and stuff are better than things sense has

so say i really really just wanted to trade for some reason, and did the trade plus get $50. i know i have the better phone but atleast im not getting ripped off as bad? or is this still pretty bad?

OP, if you are in such a hurry to try the Nexus 4 that you're willing to allow yourself to be ripped off by a local buyer offering you only $50, you are carazy.
$100 is more like it.

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."
