[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
4 hours? :eek:

I don't know what to say to any of that.

First, I easily get 18-25 hours DAILY depending on how much I use the phone. And I'd like to point on that I am a HEAVY texter (girlfriend :o). Maybe you have the LTE version? I'm sure you would get ****ty battery life on LTE all the time and inside of a hospital with low reception.

Second, this has got to be the the fastest and most "fluid" device I have ever owned. I come from a dualcore Tegra 2 G2x, and the Galaxy Nexus just blows it out of the water. There is no comparison. Needless to say, I've also owned a Nexus One, Samsung Vibrant, and a G2 (The G2 with a processor most closest to your Thunderbolt).

Third, the phone vibrates just fine in my experience. If you're having troubles with it, put your incoming call ringtone on silent and raise your notification ringtone volume. That way you don't have to worry about a random call disturbing the peace.

Fourth, you must remember this is a Google Nexus device. Most games come optimized for Nexus devices. Give it time, your favorite games will be updated. In the mean time, there are plenty of other games you could play (Age of Zombies? :D)

Fifth, are you really going to complain about the focusing? The Galaxy Nexus has an instant shutter speed. If you want a better focus, how about you hold onto the shutter button before releasing it instantly?

I don't know about changing the input method via long press since the stock keyboard is the best I've ever used on an android device.

If you really do need a "hardware" search button, just apply a mod. If not, then just press home and it's there right at the top. Seems pretty convenient to me ;)

I'd just like to point out to you that most of these "issues" will never be fixed as they are UPGRADES from the previous versions of android. Sorry :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I am indeed an LTE user on Verizon. The battery problem seems to be real, as documented on this forum and elsewhere.

Good to hear you are doing so well, implying that there is some kind of drain issue isolated to the verizon LTE launch.

I am coming from a Thunderbolt, and while the device isn't slow, the rooted/modded bolt was significantly faster at launching gmail, yahoo mail, go sms texting, facebook etc... I suspect that this too will be fixed, but its frustrating that a more powerful device on paper is actually performing worse than an almost year old device.

Any other Thunderbolt users notice the lag on the nexus that I am referring to?

The vibrate feature is perhaps a matter of personal preference. What is fine for you, may not be nearly enough for others. I will try your suggestions though and appreciate it. I prefer to have my device in my pocket, and need to feel the vibrations as they are often emergent pages. Again, the vibration issue seems to be a real problem documented hear and elsewhere on the web.

The camera issue isn't about the speed, which is impressive. The problem is too many photos don't focus properly. The bolt took terrific pictures in comparison albeit at a slower pace. Flash photography indoors is not even passable in my opinion. Perhaps this latter problem can be or has been fixed in 3rd party camera applications. I am just not aware of any at the moment.

The gaming issue concerns me the least. I agree that this will likely be fixed with updated games quickly. I only raised it because my number one favorite game was affected!

Assigning voice capabilities to a long press is a real convenience on the bolt. I don't even have to look at the screen to make it text, email, call, find directions, do a google search, or launch an application. While you may find an alternative "easy" isn't he whole point about android the UI and being able to customize it to your hearts content. I am 100% confident that this will be addressed in some modification or add on program, but it is not easily done now.

Thanks for your kind thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chocoyo00:
I'm coming from a Thunderbolt and I noticed the slow responsiveness when calling on some apps in the Nexus right away. I guess my expectations were pretty high from the get go. I'll give it some time, The developers put a lot of work into the Tbolt to get it to perform fast, I'm sure the same will happen with the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb02:
The problem is you came from a device that had development optimization for almost 10 months to a brand new development phone. If you were running a stock Thunderbolt the whole time, you would more notice the difference between the two phones. I also came from a thunderbolt running MIUI ICS and Eternity ROMS, I can tell that this phone is significantly better in every respect but the camera. But, as a phone, I don't expect the camera to be awesome. The vibrate is more elegant on this phone compared to TBs brutal shock of a vibrate, I still feel it just fine.

Your other annoyances sound more like trivial irritations rather than actual device problems, aside from the battery in which case I would say turn off LTE and it would last longer. Changing the hardware buttons wasnt a stock feature on any android phone, that was part of development. People forget that these devices take a dew days to a week for battery to run properly and once development takes off, this phone will be a monster in a month's time when everything is better optimized and features are added.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I was really surprised because the responsiveness of this device has been one of the big selling features. I agree that this will likely be corrected with OTA updates and modded devices, but out of the box I was expecting it to be faster than my nearly one year old Thunderbolt, and was disappointed it wasn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I agree that many of these issues can be corrected. When I bought my bolt, battery life was dreadful. After a quick root and cyanogen install, it was resolved. But out of the box, it still was a more polished experience than this device is.

These may be "trivial irritations" to you, but they are significant to me. I am looking for the most complete and polished smartphone experience. The nexus promised everything, and has not delivered as of yet in my experience. In fact there is really very little it has lived up to judging by the hype.

Clearly there are others with similar problems. I hope and expect many/most to be fixed.

This may be germane to those of us coming from an optimized Bolt, which is still a very worthy piece of hardware. I cant speak for other devices, as the only other android device I have extensive experience is the original droid incredible, which ironically is still fantastic and faster in many ways to the new Nexus in my experience.

At this point, very little of the promised features and experience have lived up to expectations. Perhaps the hype was too great, but I am hopeful this all will be fixed with software updates.

I hope people don't take this as a personal attack on the device, as I know many feel passionate about such things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
well, hardware wise the Nexus is superior to the Thunderbolt and almost as good as the Rezound. I think the main issue right now is ICS. i notice its still very buggy and lots of apps i used to use either dont support ICS or have issues running on ICS. its just a matter of time before everything is running properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worm-:
Brand new Operating System, on a brand new phone. You have had the phone all of 4 days and expect it to be perfect already. I think you need to give it some time. You already said yourseld you modded your TB. Expect the same with this phone. And when and on a new OS you can not expect every app to work immediately. Looks like you should of waited a month to get the phone, or go back to the TB for another month and hold onto the Nexus. I currently have a TB myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I suspect you are correct. I was just surprised that virtually nothing that was promised on this device has been realized at launch. I am used to new phones being buggy, but virtually every aspect of this device has fallen short at launch and not consistent with the reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I never said I expected it to be perfect. That is an unreasonable expectation of any device, even one that has matured and polished over time.

I do expect a flagship device to deliver on some of what was promised. This device has delivered on very few promises at launch. So far disappointed, but very hopeful it will be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
makes me appreciate my hspa th even more
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
But there are bugs with any device, especially on a new OS. Look at apple, they know how to bring new devices to market, but at launch iOS 5 was plagued with bugs, most notable was the battery drain.

But what promises hasn't the Nexus kept? I'm a little curious. Because to me, the Nexus line promises to bring the best hardware and software in terms of functionality, and to me the phone doesn't fall short of any expectations.

To each his own, right? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luigi90210:
you cant compare a rooted device with a custom rom and kernel to one that is just rooted stock, its like comparing my old droid 1 to the galaxy nexus, your not comparing apples to apples

now maybe it could be that i came from the droid x(rooted and running cm7) but this phone is just amazing compared to my droid x and my og droid

sure i lost some features like longpress to search but i gained so many new ones(face unlock, 4g, google wallet, ect.) that i see they weigh out the loss of that feature, just my $0.02 though

battery on the other hand though is really bad, i will get about 5-6 hours at most(im a heavy user though) i just reset my battery stats for the first time though so im gonna hope that fixes it, have you though about getting the extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ugapug:
I put the extended battery in yesterday and made my way home from my best friend's place (a 3 hour drive). I listened to music via Poweramp over the car stereo for 2 hours and 15 minutes of the drive and then took a 45 minute phone call. Checked the battery after all that and the Gnex was at 71% battery. My guess is those of you with issues have some rogue app blowing your battery up. And comparisons with the Thunderbolt? My friend's brother in law had a loaner Thunderbolt he got from VZW whilst waiting for a new phone to come in as warranty replacement. It was running the stock ROM. The Nexus is crazily significantly faster than a stock TB. Reiterating the point of others, just wait til the devs get 10 months of development time on the Nexus - hell, give them 2 weeks and come to us and tell us how the phone is versus the TB. I had a Rezound. Great phone, but lack of S-Off (root) and dev support is why I jumped ship back to the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhazard451:
I just sold my Thunderbolt, and I don't have any speed issues with the device whatsoever. It is much, much quicker than the Thunderbolt.

My launch TB had horrific battery life. I guarantee yours did too. Only after significant modding and kernel work for months was the TB acceptable with battery life. While I agree battery life stinks right now, it will get much better, and much quicker than the TB did.

One of your programs isn't compatible with ICS and it is sucking up your battery by running all the time. Try to find out what it is.

Games/apps need to be rewritten to be compatible with ICS. Give it time.

After a month or two, this phone is going to be twice as good than it is now. We already have Google Wallet available after 3 days! It is just going to get better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arma47:
Download "Camera ZOOM Fx" and your photos will be a lot more detailed and colorful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
I agree that the battery life on the original Bolt was terrible. The starting point of the Nexus in my opinion is many leagues worse. Today I had to recharge my device 4 times. The last time was after it drained in just over 49 minutes!!

The device has been wiped and factory default, so anything that is sucking up the juice, came with the phone. Its incomprehensible that Google would launch a device with a built in program using this much juice.

Given the comments in this thread, I just spent the past half hour testing an unrooted Bolt, bought the exam same day, from the exact same store as mine. The device was quicker than my Nexus in virtually every regard. Launching gmail, yahoo mail, browser, go sms texting, scrolling, opening settings... You get the point.

I agree the device will get better. It cant get much worse in this regard.

I will be quick to root and install cyanogen.

I am very disappointed at this time, but look forward to brighter future for the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
45 minutes? something is wrong with your phone or you are on the edge of LTE signal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
My GN is on order and I currently have a modded Thunderbolt. I can't stand that phone at all, and I have been rooted and running Team BAMF ROM for a while. It lags horribly even with overclock, and while on 3G I barely get 7-8 hours. I hate it.

I'm hoping your problems don't translate to mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sephtin:
Regardless.. you're doing something wrong with your phone.

Before I went out and got the extended battery (for 1/2 price, I might add, since VZW currently has a deal on it), I had the phone off the charger for just under 8 hours, and was at 63% battery. That was moderate usage on the standard battery.

If you're draining that much battery, you're doing something wrong. You have apps, settings, ??, maybe a hardware issue, but SOMETHING is wrong.

I have had ZERO issues with battery on the GNex (VZW LTE version).

Saw previous suggestions, but a few things you might try, and some I've seen on this and other forums (sorry if some are completely obvious):

--What ROM/mods/?? are you using. Try something else, and compare. If another ROM does same thing, it's likely apps, settings, or you.

--Make sure you don't have any task killers, or mods that are supposed to improve performance and/or battery life (overclocking, undervolting, etc.) Once the issue is solved, try re-adding them, and see how it affects phone.

--Turn off 4g when not in use (can't wait for a widget that can easily toggle this). Especially when in poor signal areas, buildings, etc.

--Turn off stuff that sync's data regularly, like: auto data sync services (Like G+ auto photo sync, and/or picassa sync), VZBackup Assistant, other apps/widgets that regularly check for data.

--Turn off Settings -> Sound: touch sounds, Screen lock sound

--Turn off GPS when not using (widget or otherwise)

Stupid stuff.. ya. Probably not your issue... but get it to where it's acceptable, and then start adding stuff back... see when it starts getting really bad again.

I'm running almost everything that I had on my DroidX, and I get around double the battery life now with my GNex.

To OP: As for your other "Issues".. If you were so happy with the TBolt... why did you change phones? I'm sure you could always find someone with a TBolt that would trade you, perhaps you'd be happy then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
I think you got a defective phone. Exchange it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priapos:
Greetings,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions.

I want to reemphasize that these problems were on a brand new device without any software/apps installed. I replicated the problem on a second device after exchanging the first.

I also want to remind everyone I am on Verizon with LTE. This is not a GSM phone.

All of your suggestions may help with battery life a bit, but the problem I have detailed is real, documented on this and many other forums.

I was not "happy" with the Bolt, it had issues too, hence the reason for the upgrade to a device with much fanfare. The disappointment stems from it not living up to any of the promise, at least out of the box.

I expect many of these problems to be resolved. I don't believe I have a defective device, as I have reproduced this on two separate units so far. I will try for a third and report back with my success or failure.

The GNote is the Android device with worst latency issues in the system itself ive used at release. So to pick the GNote with the firsts builds against the iPhone 4 is one of the few ways to make the iPhone win.

The KAA and KL3 builds dont have this issue (not for me atleast) and are newer builds than what was shipped with the phone at the release.

Done the same thing with my GNote and recorded with the piano app. And i got faster response than the iPhone 4 using the KL3 software on the GNote.

Hello, I do not believe in what you say, the latency problem is inherents in Android. I am also in KKA. How can you defend this? By doing so you encourage the immobility of Google. You can make a video of what you say ?

Go to stores to compare some Android tablets against the iPad 2. The latency is very marked.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.0, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

I haven't been able to find a good answer on miui.us nor have I gotten a reply from any of the devs who have successfully ported to an unsupported device. I have searched for answers as much as possible, and I haven't been able to find out where miui devs get started. Are they compiling from source(I haven't found any source)? I plan on asking the same question there, but I have always gotten the best answers from the XDA community..

I'm waiting for my amaze 4g to come in the mail, the device doesn't have many devs, and while the main dev is working on ICS I figured I'd try to get into development(that is why I finally bought a new device) to see if I can offer the community something while we wait for ICS to get done/stable. If anyone can point me in the direction of where these devs go to get started, I would greatly appreciate it!
