G2 to Nexus 5 and now back to G2 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having such a dilemma on choosing which one to make my daily driver.
Is kitkat and latest update from Google enough to stay away from N5? I absolutely hate N5 battery. Anyone else in my shoes is thinking about the same?

i returned the g2 to t-mobile when i got the nexus 5,,and guess what nexus 5 is now on ebay
and i went and got another g2..i absolutely hated the battery,the screen and the camera on the nexus 5

I had both but then I sold the n5. It is easier to just turn the g2 into a n5 with a few modifications. The battery life is what helped me decide after a full day and 3 hours of screen time I would still have over 50% left on g2 but n5 would have like 15% left.

Got my nexus a few months ago on a 2 year contract.
I'll be getting the new nexus. I'm actually really excited about it. I know LG had a bad reputation as fat as maintaining and keeping things up to date, but Google will be handling that, so no worries.
Being a Nexus rooting and unlocking should be easy.

I want it! Thinking about it hard! Form factor us a huge issue for me. I feel that the phone will be to big tbh. I miss the perfect size that the current nexus has.

Yes I want it just hope Sprint get it & doesn't take months to sell it or I may get the Note 2 or skip them both & wait for next year phones with 1080p HD screens & arm cortex A-15 CPU I want Exynos 5250 with Mali-T 604 GPU they say this dual core chip is 2x faster than tegra 3!!!

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.

Either that or the optimus g. 13 mp camera sounds nice on the optimus..I love nexus though. I've had no problems really.

Early upgrade available so I'll be all over that. The note 2 was on the cards but the rumours started...... and. The rest is history.

Apparently there will be a black and white model. Which would you get?
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 5 - 4.1.2)
Matrix Kernel (23.5 - CFS)
Ondemmand (Screen On) (800/100)
Ondemmand (Screen Off) (400/100)
Deep Idle (N/A - Deadline)
BLX (N/A - Inverted Apps)
Black Exodus (Stock Voltage)
White sometimes discolours and looks dirty a black one would be my choice

I'll be getting the next Nexus phone (unlocked), but not the one by LG, as they are horrible in supporting/updating their devices (according to my co-worker, who owns an LG G2X).
im going to wait few months untill the price drop down 30% or more

I want something new and I want it to be a nexus so maybe. Both the galaxy nexus and lg nexus look too big for my hands, but something has to give as I push my nexus s too hard. My phone reboots itself once a day or more with both stock JB and CM 10.

Anyone get a Nexus 4 as a secondary device?

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

LG G2 Power Case?

Hey guys.
Does anyone know if the LG G2 is going to come with a power case? The phone has been out for about 2 months so some should be developed soon? Love this phone though!

Im looking for that one either, as I can see at the momment its not available. But im happy with the 2 and a half battery lasting time, just i would buy additional juice .

[Q] Nexus 4 now?

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?

Get a nexus
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
The Nexus 4 will be faster than the Moto G... but mostly depends how you're using it. Battery life is decent, always lasts me the day.

Buying a Nexus 4, What should I know?

Buying a Nexus 4 after sticking with the Samsung Vibrant for so long. Anything I should know about the Nexus before making this upgrade?
You should be the one telling us what you want to know, hehe.
Get the 16gb variant as it doesn't have a micro SD slot and I find 8gb is not sufficient.

Sometimes the battery life SUXX
Today i got 2h 40m screen on time with some 3G and some Wi-Fi.
On wi-fi only i get 5hours max with custom kernel, under-clock to 1.2ghz and under-voltage.
Just get the Nexus 5. The N4 is almost 2 years old.
No SD card slot, its pure android; don't expect fancy ui design. Not a lot of customization like touchwiz or sense; its simple.

Wait really? This is making me very hesitant, as I already hate my battery life. Is this with a ROM or stock?

Stock rom 4.4.2, Xposed module and franco kernel r204
If you don't want to get a cover I recommend getting a screen protector for the front and back. This phone is awfully slippery.
I personally have great battery life from my Nexus 4. Stock, Xposed and Franco just like the previous poster. Had a vibrant long ago. If you're upgrading, you will be very happy. Of course, price would be the only reason to take a Nexus 4 over the 5, but you won't be disappointed with either.

The Sound on N4 is really bad for me, really quiet so first thing to do is to install a sound mod and enjoy

Audio mods is a must for N4. And for battery life it isn't perfect, but still pretty good. I've usually get 3 days with 2.5 SoT (moderate usage).
Just sharing my thoughts between Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus... I'll still prefer the battery life and screen of the Nexus 4..... But the fact that my Nexus 4 had approximity sensor is really unnerving sometimes.
