Verizon sucks. that's why I left them after 10+ years. They are like the Apple of cell carriers. Need to control every aspect.

So now they aren't releasing the Gnex cause their 4G LTE is crapping the bed... Seems their LTE service has all kinds of issues with each new phone that is released to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RVDigital:
They may control every aspect, but it sure does pay off for them and their subscribers, doesn't it?

Consumer Reports: Verizon has highest satisfaction rate among major US carriers, AT&T is lowest
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I'm pissed!!! I'm shipping out my G2x Friday and thus wont have a phone until they get off their ass.

The phones are sitting in their stores. Its a little too late.

Verizon usually releases phones on Fridays? So of it misses this Friday, it won't be available until next Friday?

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Do you seriously think Verizon will iron out anything?

Have you used a droid bionic? The phone is total garbage, riddled with bugs, and had plenty of Verizon and Motorola "testing time."

They will release it eventually and it will be full of plenty of bugs they missed. Who knows what the hell they're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Well I will agree on one thing. Their cell reception is the best.

But I can't deal with their arrogance, and pricing. At the time the OG Droid launched (I got mine on first day), they said they were changing their style... going to be more open with regard to their phones. After the OG Droid was a huge success for both Verizon and Android, they pretty much went back to their old ways.

Now they are releasing their 2nd pure google phone. And they are dragging their feet with the release. Probably making google changed certain aspects of it, making it more closed then the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RVDigital:
I'll agree that the pricing is outrageous, but until someone with an equal or better network (see: competition) comes along, Verizon will be the status quo as far as high quality networks are concerned.

I don't think the latest delay has anything to do with the Nexus as much as it has to do with the overall network from a QoS standpoint. As a network technician myself, I can tell you that the issues being described with LTE SIM Card Authentication warrant a "freeze" until the problem is rectified. Why introduce a large amount of new devices onto the network without resolving the problem first?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] termleech:
Was just in a Verizon store buying a case for my GSM nexus. Guy said they had the phones in store but got an email a couple hours ago that it was no longer being released on Friday. Didn't have any details but seems like the article posted was true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Funny I went looking for release dates. Mondays and Thursdays seem pretty common for Verizon. Also funny is the original 11/21 release date (I'm sure it was even earlier then that).

You know I've been on both sides. Push the release date until it's ready and people complain. Release the phone before its ready and people complain. Coming from a LG G2x, I can honestly say releasing the phone before it was ready was good for me but not for the population as a whole. The negative feedback it received as a "faulty device" forever scarred its name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
Motorola isn't exactly known for making phones that aren't riddled with bugs.....

This sounds more like something with Verizon's LTE network and not something to do specifically with the phones themselves.

thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psufan5:
Sigh... its pointless waiting for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I got tired of waiting and of hearing the complaints, so I took matters into my own hands. Bought it online, got the T-Mobile/Walmart data package, and stopped posting on Droidlife, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psufan5:
Ya but some of us want LTE :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Heck, I just wanna know if the Verizon extended battery will fit my GSM version. If so, that's all I need them to release.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Haha, good point. But after the lousy battery life of my Thunderbolt, I think I'll wait until the more efficient next gen LTE chips before I get another LTE phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well at least I have my Transformer to get me buy until Verizon decides which day is the best day to take my money.

Although I could always do the Razr switch-a-roo if things get desperate enough.

*Update*

I think they pushed the release date back because Razr owners are still within their 30 day window for an exchange/return. If they release the Galaxy Nexus this Friday, I bet there would be a lot of people just opting to swap to the Nexus because their Razr are without service. It seems the problem is mostly surrounding the Razrs and their micro-Sims.

They probably want to FIX the issue before releasing the Nexus so they don't have an influx of customers switching over. They probably figure that people are lazy and once service is restored they will continue life as normal.

However the Nexus could be without service too. Hopefully it is a speedy fix and maybe they'll release it Sunday. Wasn't Best Buy supposedly launching it Sunday 12/11?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Don't new smartphones only get a 15 day return period? In either case Verizon extended the return period all the way until January 15th (I believe). Either way this is incredibly frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I guess January 15th is the new release date! j/k
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MFD00M:
I called my local Verizon store in san Diego and got the same info. Said it was scheduled to drop on Friday but that they got an email saying the release is being postponed until further notice. Took my number down and said they'd call me when they get more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cleanerdude:
just stopped by store a couple hours ago. and yeah they are holding back on the friday release. not sure yet. I think this is a network problem with lte phones. im still waiting on my rezound to activate. and im not the only one there was a guy before that it took forever to activate. I did get to play with a working gnex. its fine. it was on the network too. 3g though. i went through almost everything. no serious issues. lots of people coming in with some razr problem today. They already have their stock too, so all they need is the green light. sucks holding the phone in hand and cant take it home. bet its only a couple days. but i gotta use the rezound until. and thats coming from gs2. love the gs2 but hate att
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
I bet it's not just a couple days. It'll be the 15th at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
I walked into the Verizon store down the block from my office on my lunch break and asked them about the GNex. They told me that they received the phones, but were instructed by the management that the release has been pushed back until further notice. The clerk then noticed that I have a Sensation 4G and immediately tried to sell me a Rezound, stating that it's just as good as the GNex.

Upon my return to the office, I pulled the trigger and ordered a European GNex from Negri Electronics. As much as I want LTE, I'm not at all happy with the way Verizon has been handling this, so I'm voting with my wallet (for what it's worth). I guess I'll ride out the remainder of my T-Mobile contract and worry about LTE later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarheadflip:
Wut you talking about razors without service mine works fine. But i am trading for nexus so hope it comes this friday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
There is a huge LTE blackout for the Razrs getting SIM errors. Its all over the interwebs. It's a Verizon network issue. Getting new SIM cards isn't doing anything.

Just sucks.

I'd pull the trigger on the GSM Nexus if work wasn't paying for my Verizon service. The Nexus allows me to get rid of my personal line and use my business line that work pays for. So Verizon Nexus will save me from spending $80 a month... or it would seem Verizon is costing me $80 a month.

I don't mind waiting a few days, but eventually I'm not paying another month of service for a second cell phone. If they don't hurry up with the launch date, I'll be forced to pick a phone and exchange it for the Nexus when it launches. Seems like they will already have a good supply of refurbished Razrs when all this is over.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
there appears to be a 4G LTE outage for Verizon currently.

none of my Enterprise 4G LTE mifi's are able to get a data connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Thanks for the reassurance!

As I've said before, I've been growing increasingly dissatisfied with the drop in data speeds in my neighborhood. However, I am not too sure I would have been satisfied with Verizon, LTE speeds or not. After considering it carefully, I'd rather stay with the devil I know and use the GNex the way Google (not Verizon) intended it.

To those who are considering a European GNex, Negri Electronics is now selling them for $730, and there's a $10 coupon available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azeolus:
If this is a micro SIM issue that is causing the RAZR issue it is more likely they are holding the GNex release because they use the same SIM card and not because they are worried about returns.

This is the most logical explanation I can think of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The razr return window has nothing to do with it.. you have until January 9 to return a phone bought after November 15.

I recieved the OTA volume fix for the Galaxy Nexus. IT asked for a reboot. I agreed and the phone counted down, then shutdown, but didn't startup. I waited and waited, for around 2 minutes. The phone remained powered off. I attempted to switch it on, but the power button would not respond, so I removed the battery, and put it back in. It then started up, but still on the old ITL41D software.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so what do I do now, and will I get another opportunity?

Thank you so much

If yes, I have had the same experience.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienrl:
I have the same problem, but other rooted users are not having the same problem. Does anyone have any insight on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
I'd just flash the updates yourself if your having problems. 41F (volume fix) is already outdated as of yesterday. If you want to stay basically stock and rooted bigxie has the updated ROM(with kernel) that is simply rooted,deodexed, busyboxed.

Download his rom and load it with CWM. ( i clear cache and dalvik before flashing the new rom and everything was smooth). I then flashed the updated bootloader with fastboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] Crofteh:
I'm a bit of noob to all this, so please bear with me.

I was previously running Modaco FR19, when yesterday I decided I'd finally jump to GB and installed CM7 nightly 204 using Paul's kitchen. Everything is working fine, except that my internal SD seemingly isn't being recognised. Any time I try to launch my Gallery or ES File Explorer, it gives me the message "SD Card unmounted or not present". When I go to settings/storage then it shows up normally as '/mnt/emmc' and will let me unmount or erase.

External SD card works normally when I put that in, but I'm used to leaving it out as I never use much storage space.

Another funny detail: when I connect the phone to Windows via USB then I'm not given the option to turn on USB storage, however that option appears if I do it while the external SD card is inserted. In that case, the internal appears as drive H: and the external appears as drive G:.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I didn't look into if CM7 and FR19 have different file systems so I don't know if its to do with that. Or would a wipe help? Would appreciate any help.

Cheers.

edit: With ES File Explorer, I can still browse to the internal memory and it will display all the files as it normally would. Do I need to change a pointer to the default storage location somewhere? As my gallery still won't find my photos.

edit 2: I changed an internal storage setting in CM, and then later moved some of my photos to a different folder, and everything seems to be working ok for the moment. If nothing else is screwed up, then I'm good. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

You could also try using "stock mount fix" for CM7...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341970

I would prefer to install a external SD-card since they aren't really expensive any more...:D

[LG Optimus 2x] Crofteh:
Thats pretty neat, I didn't know about that, thanks. I'll give it a miss for now, as I don't want to risk screwing up my phone even more.

The only reason I haven't been keen on using an external SD card is because mine is only 2gb, compared to the 5gb+ that comes with the phone internally. But looking at prices, I might just go ahead and buy a bigger card to use. :)
