There is absolutely nothing I can complain about, as I come from a Nexus One. :p I'm not even entitled to complain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norazi:
- pentile... i can see the pixels very easily on my gnex compared to an iphone4... i still prefer AMOLED though

- frontlit CMOS camera

- no cheap pogo-pin charger

everything else about this phone is pretty much perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The screen is totally clear as pentile isn't so noticeable at such a high resolution. Not sure where you heard that.

And the build quality is actually superb, super solid and no creaking at all. Its very impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I hear a slight creaking from the "lid".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Razer(x):
Low ringtone audio
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronak47:
volume+ will sort that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runal:
- lack of microSD card

Not an issue for me

- camera is decent but not as good as it could've been

I really wish the camera was better, this is my biggest gripe.

- although the screen is gorgeous, the pentile display doesn't allow it to be as clear and crisp as it should be

Not an issue, love the screen

- build quality of the phone leaves much to be desired

Not an issue, I like the back-plate, curved design and weight off the phone is spread out so it feels optimum light

I was using AKOP and now stock 4.0.4, I sometimes experience data drops, all of a sudden bars turn gray, I just reboot the phone. I'm sure it'll be fixed at some point.

Overall fantastic phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
My biggest gripe is that I can't think of a gripe. I like being pensive, angry, bitter, despondent, even aggressively violent, but this phone has turned me into a lovable cute like a puppy type cuddle bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
This deserves a thank you. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Biggest gripe? Not being able to make a reliable phone call with this device. My device suffers from what's known as the "audio reboot" or "one-way audio" issue. Not every device has this issue so if you buy Nexus, it's a crap shoot. Or, if you enjoy installing custom ROMs you may also not suffer from this issue. And finally, while I haven't found 100% definitive proof of this, it seems that it's only the Verizon/CDMA version that suffers from this... I don't think anyone with the AT&T/GSM version has this problem.

The next update, which was scheduled for "sometime in March" then "early April" - both which came and went and still no update - is supposed to fix this issue. If it does not, I'm going with another device. I need my phone to function as a phone and right now, it does not do that on a reliable basis.

Honestly, other than that one (but very important) issue, the device is flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
No SD card is my only gripe but I knew that going in. So I can't complain all that much. Just gotta manage data more often and can't keep backups on phone as aggressively.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TZAR@:
My complaints are more so concerning the Os as opposed to the phone itself. Sometimes my widgets stop working, Beautiful Home the time stays stuck and I have to reboot. And often times the YouTube widget will not load. I'm using ADW Launcher EX, don't know if that has anything to do with it but it happens. I have screen burn in too. Where the navigation bar is and the virtual buttons on the bottom of the phone. Whenever I watch a full screen video or movie it's noticeable, and it's hard to ignore once you notice it. I wish they would have put in a better GPU and not one that is 2 years old too because the longer I use the phone the more it lags don't know if it's the ram or GPU but it lags from time to time. And the reason Google hasn't fixed whatever needs to be fixed so it can be as smooth as Crapples IOs is beyond me. But it's better than the Nexus One. So I'm good until the Quad Core Nexus is released.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Nova launcher prime.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backspacr:
I only wish that there was universal mass storage or sd card support so the thing would work with my car stereo. Going from stereo integration to aux cable was kind of a buzz kill.

And the camera is ok but I wish it were better too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
The phone is so slick you'll likely drop it and the screen may break. Better get a protective case for it. My Diztronic Rev3 case was inexpensive and adds needed grip. Great phone, otherwise IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babymatteo:
I too came from an Amaze 4g...and man do I miss the camera. I was running bulletproof...but still doesn't come close to how smooth the Gnexus is. If you were looking to upgrade, id say go for it...but if your coming from a sense device, you might wanna check out the HTC one s or X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adslee:
I thought I saw your name around the Amaze 4G forums before :D

I'm sure I'll miss the camera too, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make for an overall better phone, plus I never really liked Sense anyway since it has way too much overhead on the OS

Thanks so much for input people, much appreciated!

One thing I forgot to mention was the screen burn-ins, I've heard that they get pretty noticeable after 6 months or so... can anyone provide some insight on this and if there's a possible solution/prevention?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezcats:
what i hate is the sound whenever i set it on a table or something...it rattles (i know its the autofocus on the camera...its waaaaaay to loose on this phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeytusa:
Yeah not a lot of gripes from his phone. I highly recommend running OhHeyItsLou's Redemption ROM with this phone... and his latest kernel. Works like a champ -- just Google it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Low in a public place? I'm amazed by how loud the ringer is on this phone. It's loud from across the house . Are you using stock ringtones or custom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saturn1217:
I was curious if anyone else knows (or at least strongly believes) that this is a Verizon specific issue?

I am still really considering getting the Gnex but I would be getting the unlocked gsm version. The one thing that really scares me is the reports of really bad radio/signal with this phone but I can never tell if this is just the verizon/cdma version or an issue with all Gnex phones. That would be a deal breaker for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbrownla:
Only gripe is Google turning its back on CDMA and Verizon not jumping down their throats on the subject. Other than that, you are in for a treat because this phone is a pleasure to own.

The lack of expandable memory is negligible. The camera is great! It really is. I don't have any creaking issues and it does feel sturdier than I thought it would.

I am a proud papa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Surprised you can see anything on a tiny 3.4" screen. The Super Amoled HD is crisper then the Galaxy S II and that says something.

Memory card isn't a problem but actually a plus. Most high end phones have 16gb internal plus expandable. The CDMA has 32gb built in so everything is in one place vs getting spread in each storage location. The downfall is that it's faster to copy files to a memory card via a SD card reader then through the phone. Thus I don't even use the USB tether anymore. I use WiFi Tether which lets you use a browser to access your phone's storage to copy, move, install, manage files remotely. This also helps when mobile as I can WiFi Tether my phone and Transfomer without wires or a router.

I've been around the block with roms and just found LiquidRom last night and hands down amazing. It has the most customizable options and the fastest rom I've used. FYI.

I'm running the Verizon Nexus with Extended battery and Ringke Slim Metallic case... phone looks and feels amazing. NFC is awesome and Google has bought numerous trips to McDonalds via the free $15 card.

I can't think of anything I'd do differently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
It is a Verizon specific issue. My phone suffers from this. Really annoying because I never know when its going to happen. I've had it do 3 calls back to back to back but now I haven't had it happen in a few weeks. Strangely I'm having my bars turn gray and I've never had this happen before. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidOnRoids:
My main gripe is how the powering of the Super Amoled HD Display is the main cause for our batteries to suck pure butt.

I used to have a Motorola Droid X (Thank the heavens I don't have a Moto device anymore) and I think it was some kind of LED Display, but anyways, I could go 12 FULL HOURS of on-screen time on that baby.

I feel like I'm using an upgraded Dual-Core HTC Thunderbolt - that's how bad our batteries on the Nexus is haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
Two main gripes:

1. Sub par camera. Many people argue it's phone camera after all, but it simply is inferior compared to most top line phones, which is rather disappointing.

2. Poor battery life. The stock battery performance is definitely not enough for power or even average users. Unless you really use the phone lightly and leave it idle, you will need a spare battery or charger to keep it up for a whole day. But then that defeats the whole point of having a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Only the Verizon one has this issue. The GSM version is normal like other phones with no call bug or signal issues. So no worries.

Yes the biggest marketing scam is how amoled screens are more power efficient than lcd. No way they are. Sure they're more beautiful, but I think lcd gets better battery results due to its constant draw. Amoled spikes extremely high.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Motorola atrix had badass transfer speeds to micro SD card through USB. My transcend card averaged about 8 MB/s and a lexar 16gb card I got later consistently did 15 MB/s+. I miss not being able to use that card. And things were very easy to manage and transfer back and forth.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
LCD does better on whites, which is what most people are viewing IE: web pages etc....that's why for the most part, SAMOLED isn't as good. SAMOLED will destory LCD on blacks and darks. On another note, I still manage to get some great battery life. You need to find a good combination, though I've currently been updating and switching around.

Here's Gummy 1.0 with Imoseyon 3.2.2, updating to Gummy 1.0.1 tonight. Can definitely do 5+ hours with regular day usage, and not a bunch of standby like when I tested. Stock 1750mah battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
wifi direct

I miss wifi direct, that currently doesn't work. You can only enable/disable it, but not configure it. So if you have 2nd Nexus, you won't connect to him.

BTW, I don't have a problem with 1750mAh battery - normal usage = 2days, 3.5+ screen time.

Currently I am testing how long does the battery last with light usage ( little or no browsing, just emails, SMS, some camera, phone calls ) and power save features like only 2g (3G only when needed), data sync 1h interval, custom auto brightness, 1CPU off while screen off, airplane mode at night and now I run 5th day with 12% battery left. Yes, I have a custom ROM and kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Ics still hiccups now and then. The app switcher can take anywhere from 3-6 seconds to load which is frustrating because for all androids ability to multitask versus iOS , I can still switch apps faster on an iPhone. Typing can sometimes still be a sore spot. The keyboard is improving vastly; its time they added custom auto corrections (aka shortcuts on iOS). Sometimes returning to the home screen causes all the icons to reload. this is especially true after browsing the web. Very frustrating and disappointing to see this happen.

And other things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wow. I don't have any of those problems. Not even close. Almost sounds like you get an iPhone.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
Biggest issues for me are screen burn in and ghosting, Low speaker sound and Vibration intensity, iffy camera, and Lag, especially when coming out of the app drawer and attempting to scroll the screen left and right. It won't stop lagging till you give it half a second before you scroll screen left and right when coming out of the app drawer. That's on pretty much every ROM and every launcher i've tried barring ADW.

I think if the screen wasn't so bloody amazing, i'd of thrown the phone out the window by now lol :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrCapcom:
Nothing I can say bad about the Phone it does everything I want.

And as far as pictures with filters etc you can kinda trick the eye to see better photos. But come on most photos are put up on social networks you don't need super high res photos.

Build Qauilty is surprisingly good imo.

Internal Storage Is a good size even when I had my thunderbolt and bionic with 32gb/16gb on board or sd card I never filled it up. I use Google Music all the time so all my stuff stored in cloud.

I brought a Transformer Prime so I put all my Vidoes there or stream to my phone using Skifta.

I have no issues with the Screen

Maybe make it last like 3 days as far as battery on heavy use lol but im happy with my 2100 mah it gets me through a day of work and chillin and snappin pics of my kids till its time to go to bed and I always keep chargers around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TZAR@:
Took your advice and put Nova Launcher Prime on my Galaxy Nexus. The widgets are working a lot better than with ADW Launcher EX and it even reacts better to touch. SwiftKey keyboard used to lag a bit now it's back to normal. Everything is faster like when I first bought the phone. I can't thank you enough for your advice! Love XDA and Nova Launcher Prime. Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
2 gripes from me..

-no native theming.

-no memory expansion or micro sd slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I've owned the GNEX since it became available in the Netherlands (December 2011). About the gripes:

- lack of microSD card slot: not an issue for me. I've installed around ~100 apps which take almost 2GB of space, music takes up 1.8 GB and pictures 1.5. At this moment I have 7.6GB left. More than enough. And it's nice not having to worry about internal memory vs sd card free space.

- camera: yes, it's not as good as it should be for a phone costing €500+. The camera of my previous Samsung phone (Ace, cost price less than half of the price of the GNEX) was just as good. Is it terrible? No, certainly not. With good light it takes nice pictures. Shutter is very very fast. Movie quality is OK.

-screen: I love it. I apparently do not have microscopic eyes unlike other GNEX owner who can spot a pentile from a mile away during heavy fog. No burn ins, colors are amazingly vivid. Black is almost real black. White... could be more white. That's the only drawback I can think of, but the term drawback is actually an exaggeration.

- build quality: excellent. I don't use a screen protector, always have the phone in my pocket (no keys in the same pocket of course) and still not a single scratch. Phone is lightweight yet feels sturdy. Dropped it two times from couch height to the floor (hard wood): no problem.

So your concerns are not my gripes. I've had 2 gripes though, only one remains:

1) phone was registering input while I wasn't touching it. -> Fixed after the OTA to 4.0.2.

2) transferring files using the MTP protocol sucks monkey balls. It's slow, unreliable and locks up my file manager often (DOPUS). Seems a bit better in 4.0.4, but still not impressive. I use ADB for creating backups now, but I prefer to be able to sync my /sdcard with a program such as SyncbackSE.

Bottom line: I really like my GNEX. I can live with just one gripe which isn't a dealbreaker (I know that every phone has them, so switching will simply result in exchanging gripes).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kg4zxk:
Overall I have no complaints. I have 32GB storage. I just keep my eye on it. Pics and stuff I make sure to remove after a few days. I use Google + to backup my pics and vids. Or you can use dropbox and they will upload your photos, etc...

Overall I am pleased. I would suggest getting a higher capacity battery. It comes with 1800 and I went with a 2100 that Verizon sells and it's much better. I usually get around 9 hours before I have to put it on the charger. I'm trying to tweak my settings to improve.

ICS works great! Best version of the OS by far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johdaxx:
My gripes -

1. Camera quality could be better.

2. Couldn't get the VPN support working on an IPSec VPN

3. I actually find the bulge and 3.5mm jack on the bottom, and the screen-on button on the side a little odd. Sometimes sorting that all out when it's in my pocket is a little of a pain...I'll be clicking away on the volume button trying to get the thing to turn on...just an artifact of its size.

But really, after having one from work for about 6 weeks and having to give it back, I went out and bought one with my own cash- ~$460 unlocked right now, this is a super phone, screen fantastic, battery life excellent, speed on ATT outstanding...haven't even had a need to mess with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrch:
What other smartphone did you have ?

Maybe it's because you're previous phone was also a Samsung that you think the GN's screen is amazing.

I've had a GN for 2 days, and I can swear that grainy screen really piss me off.

And I can't understand AT ALL why every one say AMOLED screens beat LCDs.

I have a HTC Desire Z and believe me, its screen is WAY better than the GN's.

And having ICS on it too, I was like WTH is that grainy background on every thing ?

Same with overall definition, my DZ is 252 ppi (3.7" screen 480x800px) whereas GN is like 316 ppi, I can definitely see that pixel edge on GN while I can't on the DZ.

I just don't know if I should send it back while I still can, and either stick to my DZ or think about the One X, or keep it.

Moreover, the 3 pin sounded really nice, but it seems like you can't find any dock that use those connectors.

Darn, my DZ beats 'em all >_<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crubbish:
Having an almost perfect eye-sight I can't see any 'grain' with my GN at all. In fact I believe GN has the best display available on the market atm. Glad you're in love with your DZ, it's quite obvious you should stick with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kg4zxk:
Bad thing about quad core will be battery. Slim phones will die. Battery technology needs a major boost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrch:
Seriously ? Are you that lucky dude who recieved the perfect GN while some got their fifth because of the lame screen ?

I have exactly the same thing as the first 2 pictures of this thread.

Let me know if you don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adslee:
Forgive me for my ignorance, but what's this MTP protocol thing I keep seeing people mention?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I think its media transfer protocol. Its how you interface and transfer data. Some people are bugged about it because the support for it isn't very good thus issues arise. A lot of people don't understand that the system is mounted on the internal storage and you can't mount it to your computer. USB mass storage isn't possible because there is no SD card. Mass storage can be faked by making a partition tricking USB that there is external storage. But that is a whole other issue. Mtp works fine if you have the right driver setup. It is slower overall than USB though.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
For people with amazing screens and those that complain there are differences in screens. I've found this to be the case with LCD too though. My first nexus, that I gave to my wife has a very bright screen that is pretty grainy. The resolution is nice but it is grainy and has some banding in low light. My second galaxy nexus is a bit dimmer but much sharper colors and no grain at all. No banding either. The only flaw is that one spot on the screen... where the left half of the keyboard in portrait view, is a little more yellow than the rest of the screen. A very minor detail. Other than that it is perfect. I think if you are considering buying this phone, that you buy now. Its an amazing phone and I think newer ones have less defects. No phone is perfect but the galaxy nexus is by far the best I've ever owned. I have a Korean made GSM yakju version by the way. Will only buy nexus line phones. My first android was the g1 which I had for over 2 years. After that I had the mytouch slide, Samsung vibrant, my touch 4g, nexus s (awesome phone too) and then finally the galaxy nexus. I bought the galaxy nexus after owning an ics equipped Nexus s and having my dad buy the Verizon galaxy nexus. He has bad vision and loves the big, high resolution screen. After seeing the screen, I had to get one for myself... albeit a GSM version. eventually I bought the wife one, and she loves it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Oh forgot to mention battery life. With stock I averaged around 5 hours screen time and over a day off charger. With trinity kernel and 404, I get between 5 and 6 hours screen on time with the OEM 2000mah battery. This is great considering it is a high resolution samoled screen. The nexus s by comparison gets at least an hour less screen on time for me. Long live nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daTranquil:
My GN is my second GN where the first one was unable to get a stable and accurate GPS fix.

The second one is much better but can not beat my NexusOne. GPS is really bad on GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
there are better phone out there.

photo look washed out.

poor battery life

the browser..... use opera. chrome beta still need a lot more work to be my daily browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
I can't understand why people are saying bad about the build quality! It seems fine to me. Atleast the weight it perfectly for a phone of its size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
My biggest issue is with the display, it is in my opinion pure crap. Sure it is high resolution but tilting the device causes colors to change, and it can't produce uniform light colors in any setting.

My second biggest issue might have to be the camera along with the somewhat cheap feeling body compared to devices such as the iPhone 4/4s or Nokia Lumia 800/900.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
I have an un-rooted flyer running regular OTA version of HoneyComb.

I have it installed in my cars dash, so I need the on-screen menu buttons.

The GPS is F'ed with HC.

So Im looking into downgrading back to GB. So I can have functional GPS again.

But with GB the home, back, menu buttons are on the bezel which is covered by my dash trim. So I cant really use the tablet

Is there anyway to get them onscreen in GB like they are in HC?

Or does anyone know what rom out there will have the on-screen menu and the GPS works well on?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Do you really think its a good idea yo create 5 new threads to ask the same questions? If you want help I think its not a very good idea.

there are button apps in the market, "Button Saver" comes to mind. I 'm sure there are others. Most or all will require root.
