Dropping Sprint (have given them 3yrs to "fix" coverage in my area) and my Note 2. Going to T-Mobile and a Nexus 4. Anyone gone from a note 2 to a nexus 4?
I've went from a N4 to a note 2 and then back to my N4 . Both great devices the note is just to big

I did the same as the guy above. I bought it about a month ago and really didn't like how AMOLED displayed whites. When comparing displays, I thought the nexus was much better.
Also, I didn't find the spen to be all that useful, although came in handy once or twice. The phones are pretty equal in terms of speed. Battery life is much better on the note, camera is much better on the note, and the display size didn't make it stand out IMO. They have the same resolution so it displayed the same amount of stuff.
I figured the note would be out dated around August when the note 3 comes out and the nexus will continue to be updated for a while.

I just traded my note 2 for the N4 I have now. Couldn't be happier. Even with the drop in specs/screen. I love this damn phone.

Agree, for flashing hoolic like me, I prefer Nexxus 4 the awesome device ..
I just feel its so much more comfortable to use. I used the note 2 for a week straight to see if I could get used to it but it just didn't feel right . To me the only thing that's great on the note is the battery life.

I have nevered used a Note before but I'd like to try it. The batter battery life and camera are huge attractions to me. It's just the size that I feel will be too big for me as I have a Nexus 7 already.

Once you go Note, you can't go back. I miss the size of the Note 1's screen and still not used to the Nexus 4 (had it since Dec). The Note 2 basically fixes all the problems of the Note 1, but costs $700. I didn't want to spend that much so I "settled" for a Nexus 4. For the price, the Nexus 4 is worth it, but I would have bought a Note for the same price.
I have had both. I don't understand how someone can say the note 2 has a better camera.
Only pros of note 2 : better battery. S-pen , Case options . Bigger screen & features 'if' that is for you.
Other than that, that's it.

Nothing quite like some guy with an otterbox defender on a note 2, holding the phone to his ear. It's one of the most ridiculous things to witness. It's kinda like me holding my N7 to my face like I'm making a call. Hilarious.
I used Note 2 for six months and I loved it then sold it and got N4. I miss the Note 2's camera and big screen but N4 is much better looking phone with much professional built quality. I will keep N4 for a while.
I went from a note 1 to an n4 after 3 months. Just couldn't get used to the size of the note. The n4 works much better for me.

Hi my nexus 10 is on route from the play store uk as I can't get it in Ireland. I have to say i am really excited but all these light bleeding issues really have me worried. How big a problem is it. i can put up with a bit though. But for me sending it back to the uk is my worst nightmare I would love to hear something official from Samsung, on another note when I saw the new tegra processor video demo from ces I gulped tell me I have made the right decision. I really hope it's a big step up from my nexus 7

Difference between tegra 4 and nexus 10 will be minimal and you will get faster updates with nexus 10 so enjoy having features arrive to you first c:
Edit: also note that in the demo it's chrome browser vs stock browser. Stock browser is known to be generally about 50% faster

Some people just get over excited about light bleed. Only noticeable in a dark room looking at a black background ... I barely notice it. And just remember tegra 4 just came out it will b a while for a device with it to come out. And then a new processor will come out....

I like this phone more than my gnex except for not having a removable battery. It's much faster than both of my last 2 phones.

Yeah, I am perfectly happy with the Nexus 4 as well.
Initially didnt intend to upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus, but then that one died a painful, painful death on a Bar Counter.
Couldn't be happier, it feels extremely solid and is fast as hell. With the custom kernels out there you get the battery to get you through the day, I dont need anything else.
I have had the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and now the N4. Hands down it is a better device. It feels like a premium device, rock solid with no squeaks etc.
You can keep holding out for better devices, but then you will never buy one! Bigger and better phones are always around the corner.
Besides, the differences now are so small, it really doesn't make sense to wait.

yeah definetely.
had the Galaxy Nexus, and altough I really liked, it doesnt feel like the N4.. and once you have the N4. the GN with that plastic back starts to look like a cheap cell
Im using my gnex while my N4 is charging and yes the N4 feels superior than my gnex, way faster too... The N4 is the best Nexus to date!

I miss the curved screen on my GNex. Otherwise I'm very happy to have made the upgrade. There isn't anything I have thrown at this phone which it can't handle.
I have owned all of the Nexi except the Nexus S.

I ask because this is the only nexus I've owned and I think I'll only replace it with another nexus. I came from a galaxy s 4g so yes my nexus is much faster, I like the feel of the custom roms the utility of the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Best for me and I always prefer the latest Nexus!
I have actually owned the original Nexus One, Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus, and now the Nexus 4.
My top 2 choices would have to be the HTC One, but the N4 is the best with the Nexus S being 4th place.
I've had every nexus phone and it's my personal favorite and objectively the best all around Nexus device.
I do miss the car dock for the Nexus One though, who do we have to kill to get an inductive charging bluetooth car dock for the N4?
I've owned the nexus one, galaxy nexus and now the N4.
N4 gives me the same feel as the nexus one did when I first go it. Mainly "WOW. THIS IS AMAZING." Something that the GN couldn't do. Perhaps it's my samsung hatred.
But yeah, the N4 is by far the best nexus i've ever had.
Yeah it is. But Nexus One blew my mind when it came out. So to me its the best
This being my 3rd Nexus of course it is :good::good::good::good::good::good:

i use both my n4 and gnex, but keep the sim in the n4.
I loved my GNex but my N4 is leaps and bounds better. I can't think of any reason I'd go back.
Why?

As fan of nexus series can't see any point to return on Gnex (I had it before n4). Just my opinion.

Have both. But N4 is my major, I barely touch my Gnex or Nexus S now
No ways that I am going back
not even in my wildest dreams...hell no
My GNexus died. It was great device, i mean it provided great user experience in spite of really average specs (like very poor GPU). I think optimization in case of ti-omap was relatively more advanced than it is in case of snaprdagon s4 pro maybe due to ti's more open policy. Gnex cannot measure up hardwarewise to N4. It can hardly handle more demanding live wallpapers without lag. Its screen is the biggest flaw -grainy, horrible horizontal banding. But still touch responsiveness and scrolling experience is very smooth. To be honest I preferred stock browser experience on my gnex than the one provided with n4 and chrome. Just pinch to zoom and scroll. Literally, heaven and earth difference. But that's the end of gnex's advantages over n4 I noticed so far. I completely disagree with those criticising our lcd-ips screen. It's awesome! I really don't feel the need for 1080p screen. And... 2 GB of ram + 1,5 GHz x4 krait. Why would I downgrade to Gnex? N4 is all I need

Is it still relevant or a good choice to purchase a nexus 4 from play store I'm got a Galaxy Nexus which is in horrid condition cracked screen broken headphone jack horride battery life but with the "nexus 5" coming up should I hold out
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The Nexus 5 may or may not come but people switch phones anyway so for now I would recommend the Nexus 4.
In fact the battery is just out of this world and standby is even more impressive.
Despite some minor hardware issues such as the speakerphone buzzing sound which you can only hear in a silent place placing your ear to it, it is a really good device.

Like andyabc said and also IMO it's a very good device
However, since the Moto X will be released within two days from now, you should wait a couple of weeks, the Nexus 4's price may hopefully reduce.
I just ordered a new Note 3 from Amazon and it was darned expensive.
I have a note I which I have used consistently for the last year and a half and I have used it daily. There are signs it might be wearing. I even have some small scratches on the screen. I expect to use the 3 the same way. I loved my 1 but thought I should upgrade before it falls apart.
The question is will I see a significant difference in the 1 and the 3? Is the 3 worth the price
I will appricate any thought you have on this subject
Wait until you get the note 3 use it for a few days and decide for yourself amazon is quite relaxed on returns

I'm coming from Note 2 as well, only thing that's better is the screen, some other important things like battery life is worse for me. As well as stupid speaker placement, and KNOX. I'm not doing heavy tasks, so I don't notice any difference with the new CPU, RAM etc.

The battery life isn't much better than My N7100. However it's a 4g phone which up until now should have meant worse battery life than it's 3g counterpart. It's also a much faster processor and the screen has a much higher ppi and is significantly brighter. All these improvements and no sacrifices so far as battery life is concerned are pretty amazing to me.

One think that annoy the hell of of me is that if you try to use pattern or password for lock screen you will lose lock screen widgets, and voice commands.... Those only work with swipe option... Hopefully Sammy will get this fixed ASAP. By enough whining, that's the best phone since Nokia 6310i

If I had a Note1 and wanted to buy a new phone it would be the Note2. Nice specs, no auto-dimming of the screen like on the N3 and better speaker compared to the N3.

if the note2 was the beast, and you're coming from a note1, the note3 is the incredible hulk. my first couple of days, i was kind of like, meh, it's just an incremental upgrade, and honestly it is, but it has a lot going for it and i am liking it more and more and more. this might be the first phone i keep much longer than 12 months. i upgrade once a year, and i am not too enthused about the first generation of 64bit phones that will hit in the near future. between google keeping mum on 64bit android, oem's still keeping hush about their 64bit plans, the initial bugs from android aaaaand the vendors overlays, i wanted a phone that would hold me over. but who am i kidding? i'll probably still get another phone next year.

I'm hating my Note 3 for one reason; the bluetooth music stutter glitch. This is the third device I get, I returned the first 2, and it still has the same problem! I did a factory reset and it didn't help
