I really love my GN so I might keep it for more than 2 years. I don't like Samsung phones and I've gone off HTC too. The other manufacturers are just crap. GN has been my first Google phone and it is brilliant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
I also hope Verizon carries the next Nexus and it comes with another Super AMOLED HD display. Even so, I'll probably keep this Nexus, even if I get the next one.

Terminators run on Android...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I'm done with HTC for now too. Materials were great, but build quality crap, always a bad/stuck pixel or piece of dust on the screen, this happened to two of my last HTC phones.

Samsung might be more plasticky but build quality is top. If you check spare parts, the screen comes with top part of the case, not as a separate piece, they are factory put together and sold as one. More expensive, yes, but I don't think anyone with high end Samsung phone ever had stupid dust under the screen.

Didn't know this one, LOL :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X-Ter:
Don't know what its like in other countries but in the UK I can't do anything until my contract runs out in 2 years. That's why I had the Hero until a few weeks ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meaple:
Come to think of it, with my Desire I had dust stuck on the screen too. Was annoying me too. Sense also annoys me. Takes up so much battery for no reason.

The thing with Samsung is all the news about whether or not they will update Android versions on their phones. They fart around too much and I guess take forever. Plus I'm not a fan of Touchwiz and I would rather just have a pure stock Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Samsung does not update Nexus devices. Google updates them.

But with the Galaxy Nexus, Google only updates (yakju and toro).

Yakjuxw, etc are all non-Google updates by Samsung but they don't follow any bloat and are pretty much guaranteed. Reverting to yakju is pretty easy.

Not sure how many people have seen this concept, but when something like this comes out, it will definitely be in my possesion:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
Here in the US, you qualify for a device upgrade once you've fulfilled your contract. So, rather then paying a full $600 - $700 for a phone, you pay $300 instead. Lot's of times service providers will grant you "early upgrades" so you can re-do your contract and get a new phone at a discounted price. However, you can buy a phone whenever you want and simply switch them out on your plan. Doing so though would require buying the phone at full retail price or seeing about getting one another way(classifieds, ebay, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
I got is as a free upgrade on T-Mobile in the UK (GSM version). I had been waiting for this for a few months paying month by month on my contract (Don't want to change/lose my contract), but when it arrived I was a little underwhelmed. I ended up going for it as it was the best phone available at the time.

Don't get me wrong, its a great phone, just not as great as expected. I won't go on about it, as its all been discussed to death before - but mainly the CPU, GPU and quality of the screen. The battery is as expected for this size screen so no surprise there.

The CPU and GPU aren't a major issue, but my main two gripes are build quality and screen quality. Yes its the best screen available right now, but pentile is horrible compared to RGB.

Right now its the best phone available, but as soon as there's another one of similar size, same or better build quality, and better screen i'll be switching. I can't see myself keeping this phone for 1 or 2 years and not feeling like its a compromise.

The 'nexus' thing and fast updates is a valid point. However as long as there's a reasonable developer following you can usually get updates ported. Its only when there's a major android release will there be a problem - eg jelly bean, but by then I think it might be time to switch phone again :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
I have had my share of android phones. I've had a G1, Hero, OG Droid, Nexus One, HTC Thunderbolt and I have always been a fan of Sense when many people aren't. But I think its good eye candy for the phone and its useful to keep up with your friends twitter and Facebook feeds. But the open sourceness of a Nexus is something that cannot be compared. My next device will be the next Nexus device Verizon gets or the next major HTC Sense release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
Anyone know when penta-core phones are coming out?

That's when I'll trade.

Quad isn't enough, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BicolXpress:
I'll keep this until gs3 or the when the (nozomi) next high end Sony phone comes out. I used to buy phones every two years but now it's like every 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
Kam I'm due an upgrade on T-Mobile uk. Are they dealing with Gnexus then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2dmaxhtc:
Till the g3 comes out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
I'm wondering what might you be using a penta-core phone for? Calculating the 10^20th decimal digit of the Pi number? Decrypting an RSA code?

Seriously though, in my opinion, phone technology should put more emphasis on how to get more battery capacity in a given limited space so phones can last at least 2-3 days of heavy usage.

Yes, internet browsing is very smooth on smartphones these days, but put it next to a pc and I will browse on the pc any day. Yes there're many high quality games on smartphones but you probably get better gaming experience on a pc. So why use a smartphone? Well, the keyword is mobile. You want to be able to perform tasks that you would otherwise require a pc but you're away from home. High-end smartphones (read: Galaxy Nexus :)) these days can achieve those tasks very fluidly. What it really needs is more juice and maybe more software optimization to make it even more fluid. Putting more cores would be an overkill IMO, especially if you have to sacrifice the up-time. If you want to perform tasks that require very high cpu power, why not use a pc which should be more powerful than any smartphone.

As to answer OP's question, I'll be using this phone for as long as it's still supported by Google or developers, or until there're some breakthrough mobile technology. I don't need more cores, I need more juice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Am thinking well over a year, I can't get a none nexus now I have this baby, I'll look next year at the next nexus and if I get a good price on this then maybe I'll trade it in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Lol I have a bet for $100 saying I'll keep it two years. My buddy doesn't think so since I've had about five phones in the past year
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newparadigm:
Until there's a 4g phone with breakthrough battery life and unlocked bootloader preferably on Verizon (or until they cancel the grandfathered unlimited data).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Ready to move now. Somebody find me a Lumia at a price I like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
No, but you can get an upgrade from carphone warehouse, chitter chatter, buymobilephones.net or mobileshop.com (these last two are the same company - I used mobileshop.com).

They're the only stores i've found that can do a real upgrade without a reconnection so you keep your number and also any legacy tariff. I'm on the F&R discount from way back (not they new one) so really didn't want to lose it :) I got the GN free being on a Flext 35 contract. Funny thing with F&R tho, you can move the tariff up and down when you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i n f a m o u s:
Considering how much I spent just for a phone, this has to last me at least two years until my next Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Till my Gnex breaks. 2-3 Years for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Judging on how good I have found it so far (have only had it about) hours it really wipes the floor with all previous android phones , (sensation/optimus 3D/hero/desire HD/and iPhone 4) this phone is leagues ahead in terms of everything. I have learnt my lesson , pure Google all the way . Only phone I would now consider upgrading to would be next Google handset jelly bean?

J

P.s. this post is relying on the battery lasting at least 8 hours with decent use )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
This.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
As many others have said, I will also upgrade with the next Nexus device. You just can't go wrong. Though I will admit I did not like my Nexus S lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X-Ter:
Who do you guys think will build the next Nexus phone? I assume it will be Motorola. What's their build quality like?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
i really don't think it will be Motorola. Google will own them but I don't think Google will focus on the hardware much at all, I think they will allow Motorola to run as a semi-independent company only using Motorola for patents but will give the next nexus to whichever company bids the highest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Completely up in the air. We'll see how Google handles owning Motorola. Seems like they're really tight with Samsung right now though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cchant:
Unless Samsung changes their policy and begins releasing full source for their non Google phones I will be keeping the Galaxy Nexus until the next nexus comes out.

As powerful as the Galaxy S3 is rumored to be I can't stand to be held down by touch wiz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
Cheers, thanks for the info
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
Enjoying this one too much to think about the future!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devlp1213:
the galaxy s3 will be my only consideration

Sent from my GummyNex LTE, enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I always used to change my phone every 6 months, no expense spared. That was until I bought my HTC HD2 over 2 years ago!! And, boy oh boy, did it keep me entertained? There was no end of excitement and it had nothing to do with its hardware specs. It was to do with the developer action, which is still ongoing! iPhone5? No way!!!

I will only upgrade from the GNex if I see another phone attracting more development in the future.

Although the SG3 and the HTC Edge sound pretty amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
I'll upgrade with the next Nexus device for sure. I actually really missed my Nexus S when I got the Galaxy. It was a good phone, and despite being smaller, I still liked the size of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrayAdjacent:
This phone is fast enough and beautiful enough that I just may hang on to it for a couple years.

I started in on Android with the Droid at the end of '09, then a DX at the end of '10. HATED the bloatware on the DX, and the 2.3 update changed the way some things functioned - unfavorably. It also was getting a bit sluggish. I removed a lot of apps I wasn't using and it got better, but still wasn't great. Still had some sluggishness when unlocking.

Loved the DX form factor, tho. I wish Moto had kept updating it.

Now with the GN, as long as I can get a nice desk dock to use the phone as an alarm clock, and a car dock to use for occasional navigation duty, I'll be happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
In 2011 i had the iPhone 4> Droid X> Thunderbolt> Bionic> Razr> and now the Galaxy Nexus. I like this phone a lot, but I tend to switch it up ever couple of months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Red John:
GS3 needs to be significantly better than GNex for me to get it. Not doing this marginal upgrade again... kinda wish I had just stuck with my GS II at this point, as beautiful as the Nexus is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfman87:
Same, but next Nexus at new 2 yr activation (unless I get a good amount for it on CL or something)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Going from Nexus to Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus tickles my fancy much more than the Nexus S did so I can easily hang onto this phone for a long time without any regret.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smot13:
I can easily sit on this phone for two years. My N1 still works flawlessly. The storage is an issue, but other than that there really isnt anything that I could not do with it. I expect the same with my GN.

The only reason I switched is to get on Verizon and actually have service when I leave the city. Now my N1 is just my handy international travel buddy. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
I’ll probably stay with it until the next one. I certainly won’t be looking over my shoulder to see if the best can be beaten.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Until a GS3...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcsworld:
Previous phone (iphone 2G) i had for over 3 years, saw no reason to upgrade until the Galaxy Nexus

Lets see what the next Nexus brings, will have to be something really cool as im loving the GN right now, can see it lasting just as long as the previous phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
Till a younger girl catches my eye, sorry mean phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I am exactly the same. My next phone will be the next nexus.

I love the pure Google experience.

I might also buy a Nokia Windows Phone just to play with on the side.

I really hope Samsung get the rights to the next nexus. Samsung are my favourite hardware company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
My next phone will be another nexus, if it comes to Verizon. If not, then I'll keep this for the 20 months until I can get another upgrade. I'm not to worried about it though. If I could have taken my Sprint GSII and activated it on Verizon I wouldn't have bought the Galaxy Nexus though. I love that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incredulous:
Exactly the same as what I did :D

I loved my N1 but am so happy with the GN now.

I'm on a 24 month contract now and intend to keep the GN until I can upgrade again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
At least until 8-8-13. So pretty much for the length of my required 2-year contract w/ Verizon. Really do like it though, so having a prison sentence with my contract isn't so bad :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slyydrr:
Same here if even then. After going back to a Nexus device (had GSM Hero > Nexus One > i9100 GS2 > Galaxy Nexus), I can't see myself getting anything but another Nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
I don't know how long I will keep it. For me what matters it is ho wmuch development support it gets. I kept my HTC Glacier from the week it came out until I got the Nexus because the Glacier had Cyanogen support.

That was close to a year which is a record for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TZAR@:
Until the next Nexus comes. Like being able to flash roms & change themes to "my" liking. Love having full control & being able to have my phone be how I want it to be. NEXUS = PHONE FREEDOM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
G1 -> MyTouch 3G -> Nexus One -> Nexus S -> Galaxy Nexus -> Whaever Nexus phone is out next year.

Likely i'll also snag a Nexus tablet as well to replace my WiFi XOOM - if Google delivers on what Eric Schmidt said of course.

Nexus 4 lyfe :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Hopefully 1.5 years
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
How long? Not much longer, buying iPhone 4S today and going back to iPhone. Anybody wants mint GN? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
Probably around 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
I got a mobile device (phone/ tab etc.) addiction but I am planning on keeping the GN as main phone at least a year.

But I am curious about rumours about the SGSIII and revised version of the SGNote.

So far I am extremely happy with the SGN, best phone I have had so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
This is a hard one for me. I have a GS2 (i777) and I have the GN (Unlocked). To be honest the GN is slow in comparison to the GS2 and I'm not too satisfied with its speed. I want to see ICS on other devices to see if its a SW issue or if its just that the GNs processor is craptastic. If the GS3 has a high resolution screen and a second gen Exynos processor then I'll probably get that and get rid of both of these phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyM:
Serious??

I had a Nexus for a little while and also have a 16GB factory unlocked white 4S purchased from the Apple store on release day. Decided to keep the 4S and sell the Nexus. Kinda wish I kept the Nexus now and am looking to sell my 4S for to buy another Nexus.

If you really want to go back to the iphone then we might have solution for both of us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Most likely a year, for the past 6 or so years that has been my rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Until there is a revolutionary Nexus device from Google :)

Especially in terms of battery technology.

Until then, I plan to keep it for a long time.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haranzo:
Ever thought of a pad Without bezel border? Maybe that is why Acer and Apple's pad use such high resolution. They Fill the entire surface screen with Pixels!

The Ideal is to have Virtual bezel that will only go full screen when watching movies or dynamic bezel borders that depends on programs or environment.

just thought of it and think it's a good idea...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
a) where would you put your hand when holding the device?

b) The transformer has a higher resolution than the iPad and >= any tablet that acer produces, so I don't have a clue what you are talking about there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haranzo:
1) still has Bezel in main screen. only when watching movies the bezel will disappear. and u can still hold it, but won't effect it. That is what i mean by Dynamic bezel.

2) the new resolution will be 1920X1200, that is extreme packed density. So bigger area will result better yield in display and a seamless border. Like the new High end LED TV

Just a Thought, and thought it will be Different.

the resolution for the ACER Tergra 3 confirmed to have 1920x1200
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
I believe he's referring to the iPad 3 and Acer's upcoming 2012 tablet (that indeed will have 1920 x 1200 resolution): http://androidcommunity.com/acer-iconia-tab-a700-sends-photos-from-russia-with-love-20111229/

I'm not sure exactly what he wants out of a "virtual" bezel, but I'm pretty confident the trend will be towards smaller bezels.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
I wonder if Tegra3 is powerfull enough for such resolution... The resolution is quite nice though - not need to worry about HDMI output because it's the same as your TV/LCD (apart from more pixels in height) etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ka911:
1) I hope if they can add 2GB RAM to support window$ 8 and higher!

2) 3D screen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] devadvance:
Virtual bezel would be interesting. But it would only work with an AMOLED screen. LCD screens when "black" draw too much power. Edge to edge display that has a 1/2 inch virtual bezel that could be controlled by the user...pretty crazy idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Do not want virtual bezel.

I have large, meaty hands. My pads wrap around the devices I am carrying. Already I have problems with touching the screen when I don't mean to because of this. And I do not want to change the way I grip things because my grip, while very gentle (after 12+ years working with military grade electronics), is quite secure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>where would you put your hand when holding the device?

This is a pet peeve of mine wrt tablets. Why must we grip it with the thumb (on the bezel)? It puts a lot of pressure on the thumb, which means faster hand fatigue. Why not have a built-in (removable) handgrip at the back? Like this below:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] subramanianv:
I am pretty much pleased with Prime's display, dont need it any bigger than current size. Bezel size is also not that big, but the dynamic bezel would be a good innovation, if done right.

What I would really want in next prime is :

- 3g or LTE of some sort

- Wi-fi Direct (I am not sure if it can be enabled by s/w fix)

- Stereo speakers

- IR sensor (I know it is oldschool, but I like this thing on Sony's tablet S)

- Bluetooth 4.0 (I really dont know why I want it)

I am not so worried about USB 3.0, as I believe Wi-Di is the way to go. If future cameras or SD cards comes with built in Wi-Di, it should be able to send the pictures directly to the tablet, for editing and sharing.

Hi all.

I know that the ZTE Racer is a low-end device, but I have seen a bunch of people who want custom roms for their beloved (or not so much beloved) device.

So here, I start this thread to ask what you Racer users would like to see in a CM7 rom that I am modifying. First up, to prevent double-suggestions, I have posted a list of changes below:

- Theme Chooser removed along with other themes (this was done to make sure nothing would distract from the Gingerbread experience, however, I can provide you with a ZIP to flash that will re-install the Theme Chooser).

- Magic Smoke and Visualisation Live wallpapers removed

- Replaced OI File Manager with ASTRO File Manger (Astro is more powerful)

- Included Facebook and Twitter social networking apps

- Updated Android Market to latest version

- Removed excess ringtones and notification tones (list of remaining tones below)

- Changed some UI sounds to original iPhone UI Sounds

- Edited boot animation (Blue Rings and bars)

Any requests? Questions?

PM me... I am on here a lot of the time considering it is my school holidays.
