Likely I will get the note 3 with tax return money. My opinion is not going to be popular amongst this thread but I have grown to love touch wiz and the spen along with dual window is awesome.

In regards to ram, no expert but I rarely experienced lag due to low memory on s3/s4 experience very little lag on the gnex but the nexus S is beyond painful. Pretty much bare bones apps, no gmail and greenify everything. Which include deleting many system apps and reinstalling them and as user apps and green that...take that Google music!

Agreed. I'm currently at 21 hours 32 minutes on battery. 5 hours screen on. SO much better than the 7-8 hours I was getting on my 2 year old GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gfropr:
Not true I'm at 99% with 48 minute screen on time! Maxx is a beast. I'm so glad I dont have to camp out next to a charger all day, an carry spare batteries. People are getting close to seven hours screen time on two days without charging. Ridiculous.

Gnexus still doing pretty well even though it's old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
This year's launch of the new nexus would beat down the competition :p .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
Well see. The Note 3 is announced on Sept 4th. I'll make my decision after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Leaked pictures of the new Note are sleek and the whole re-design of the Note III is good looking, like big brother of the older S II with 5.63" of display panel measuring at 1.8mm thickness only ;) with an upgraded Exynos backing with 3Gig's of RAM.

Very promising specs but still it's not a Nexus :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
In all honesty, I'm tired of the spec wars going on right now and carrying around such a huge screen (Note2) all day does get annoying after a while. I'm very interested in the Moto X and may be picking one up next week if the Note 3 doesn't completely blow me away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lscheres:
I'm stuck on verizon, well not stuck, just still have unlimited data so i refuse to switch since everything else sucks in my city. The Gnex is the best phone on VZ still in my opinion , my GF got the S4 yesterday, ehhh its nice and a little faster but not really that much, specially 450 bucks more since a 32gb gnex goes for around 150 these days and i have to buy out of contract. So it looks like i will just stick with the good ole nexus, over clocked and custom rom makes it just fast enough that i'll probably be good for another year. If the S$ gets unlocked i might think about getting one but it would have to have a lot of support because that's one thing the nexus is awesome for, more roms than any phone it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1454:
Imo, the GNex is not nearly as fast as the gs4. I have both. I actually don't hate most of the new tw features either. And if you are going to buy off contract then just get the dev edition, it does have an unlockable bootloader. I'm not saying the gnex isn't a servicable phone, but I couldn't go back. Especially with the memory issues I routinely had with the nex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rempty:
A question.

Who is better on GPU.

HTC ONE S c2(snapdragon s3 adreno 220) or GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
Whelp. At this point I think the Note 3 pretty much destroys all. I was about to jump on the Moto X but I think I may have to stay with the Note series. It seems like Sammy never disappoints with this line of phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbmayg:
So my 2 year contract with Verizon has ended. I will either upgrade to gs4 on Verizon and lock into another two year contract or wait for the nexus 5 and switch to T-Mobile. Honestly, I haven't gotten tired of my GNex yet, but the speed and screen of the gs4 are so tempting. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Edit: Also, I'm afraid that the nexus 5 screen will be too large. Anything over 5 inches is just too big for me.

If the possible leak of the next Nexus in the KitKat statue unveiling video was really a Nexus (Google did take down the video), it's looking like the phone will be the same size as the G2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsr13:
Anyone in the northern nj area care to comment about T-Mobile coverage? I'm pretty sure I can't go back to a non-nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
The next Nexus may have just received approval from the FCC. It's going to be ever so lightly shorter than the Nexus 4 (2mm)

L X W

132 mm x 68 mm - Mystery Phone (LGD820)

134 mm x 69 mm - Nexus 4

136 mm x 68 mm - Galaxy Nexus

The phone has a 5" screen. No details on resolution. I was able to use my GNex one-handed, so this phone should be slightly easier to use one-handed. I plan to pick up the next Nexus. I just hope Google/LG doesn't screw us with lack of official OTG support. Otherwise, I'll just get a LG G2.

My work pays for my cell so I don't have an option.

I'm really OK with my Galaxy Nexus though. Its the longest I've ever owned a phone. As long as there is development for it.

I'm really hoping the nexus 5 or whatever it's called is coming to Verizon (even though I hate them).

So if no nexus 5 for Verizon then what's the next best thing?

Motorola locked boot loader?

What else is there?

My Galaxy Nexus is showing is age.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
The GN3 is definitely a good phone but the exynos 5420 gets beaten by the N5's GPU performance which shares a similar spec sheet of the G2 & better throughput except for the SAMOLED HD panel :rolleyes: .

I believe the new Galaxy F and Flexible phones from samsung are not too far for a release, they would be definitely upgraded by the upcoming Exynos :cool: !

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
I take it you missed all the articles about Samsung's software blowing benchmarks way out of proportion?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
And I guess you missed the one stating that all the other OEMs do it too. And really this all being exaggerated. All it does is activate all cores at full power, essentially showing what the device is fully capable of. So since all the other OEMs are doing it too, we're on a fair playing field again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
I am quite aware of all the OEMs involved in this. The point is that given the amount of time put into your tweaks, it's not a level playing field again. It's been discussed quite a bit on G+ by some well respected guys, and all seem to be an agreement that this type of performance may never be seen in any type of real world use. Benchmarks were a joke before, now they are just flat out irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
I can understand where you're coming from but I just don't understand what the big deal is. Benchmarks were never indicative of real world performance, but rather a method of determining what your device is really capable of. In that case, how is fully activating the processor a bad thing? It seems like that's what all OEMs should have been doing from the get go.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Essentially what they're doing is the equivalent of running a benchmark on a phone with a custom kernel and the governor set to 'performance'.

That review might have cemented it for me. Though the 4g lte has a higher storage capacity, the G-Nex just looks better now. I'm going to sprint friday...I might walk out with one.

im looking foward to the big screen phones comming in, i wish the note would of came to verizon. more people now spend more time looking at their screen, more than talking on it i belive....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
it's a matter of taste, i find both the Note and people who like it funny. just the idea of holding a 5.3" piece of plastic to ur ear is idiotic, it can't fit into a pocket, can't be used with one hand. i agree with samsung's add "is it a phone? is it a tablet?" coz it's neither, it's a plastic piece of crap :D

i really hope the manufacturers stop this big screen madness. for the next nexus, either keep the same screen size, or drop to 4.4-4.5" :rolleyes:

I dont really think Verizon has much of an input other than their name and logo on the battery cover. I think it's all Samsung and considering that all sgs2 look 99% the same across the current providers I'm pretty sure the sgs3 will look like an sgs3 regardless of carrier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doeboy711:
What does everyone think about the new HTC Incredible 4G. I am not trying to start a debate over HTC Sense vs Samsung true ICS, but since reading about it I am wondering which one to get. I love the larger screen and the true ICS and the ease of rooting/moddifing the phone. But, I can't see myself jumping into a 2 yr contract with the Nexus when it's running old tech. The Incredible will run on ICS as well, with the Sense on top of it and is suppose to have pretty good battery life. I have been using Sense since the Hero came out on Sprint a few years back, and have no problems with it. For me the only downside to the Incredible is the 4" screen. I would like to bail now on Sprint so that I can actually talk at and around my house with no problems or worrys of drop calls and no data. I wish the SGS3 would be out ASAP, but it probably won't be out until August+. I was dead set on buying the Galaxy Nexus, but now I am questioning it. Without being biased, what do you guys think about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Sorry dude but other than the processor the Dinc is made from a bunch of old **** laying around and does not even compare to the Gnex on any level. Its a good entry level phone but that's it. Development may be a little iffy too based on the fact that I don't know how many developers are going to want to mess around with a subpar device like that. I mean HTC even under clocked a pretty capable CPU.....as for the Gnex being old tech.....it still far superior tech to most of what is offered in the Dinc....and it easily crushes the Dinc.....with one hand.

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doeboy711:
I am not talking about the dinc2, I am talking about the new one that is coming out. It has the M8960 S4 with the 225 GPU inside of it. Hardware wise, I belive it blow away the Galaxy Nexus. Also, it should be better on battery life because of the smaller processor on the S4. It's basically an small, underclocked version of the HTC Evo 4G LTE, One S style phone. If there is a few developers that migrate over there and help de-bloat the phone and clock it to 1.5 or more depending on the limits of the m8960 processors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Honestly I think it would be a bad idea to get any phone on Verizon or Sprint at this point. GSM unlocked is the way to go if one gets good Att or Tmo coverage in their area. Carriers have too much control when one signs a contract, and they use that control to screw you over.

The Inc4g will not be a One S model phone as HTC has already stated. It may not even get the new camera chip technology. It is a mid range offering from Verizon. It would be a bad decision IMO for anyone to buy it over a Rezound or Unlocked One X. There will be almost no developer support, as most of the developers will stick with the S-Off Rezound or go to the actual unlocked HTC One X.

Plus Verizon doesn't update their phones, they don't run as good as they can because of the way Verizon taints their phones, and you are stuck with bugs unless there is developer support because Verizon won't fix your phone if there are issues...they will keep on sending you refurbs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doeboy711:
I would like to get At&t, but there is a premium for their service. It would cost $40 more a month than what I would pay for Sprint, and the way I am going on Verizon, close to $80 more a month. I would like to be on AT&T because it runs on what the rest of the world runs on! In America we have to wait for the phones to be changed to fit the muliple carriers to support us, but everyone else basically has the same network lol.

I know it's not a One model, but it is it's little brother with the same hardware with different tweaking basically. It's supposed to have most of the same features camera wise from what I have read.

I've been looking to update from the gnex. Phones I've been looking at...g2, n5, note 2, note 3. I want a bigger screen than the gnex say in the note 2 range. From reading about the note 3 it has that pesky Knox and it seems that is a big roadblock in customization. Looks like the gs5 is gonna get it to. The g2 looks good but just wish it was a smidge bigger. The n5 I know will get a crap load of dev support but the small batt and screen ( my opinion) is what makes me shy away. The only phone I have been eyeing with some serious thought is the note 2. Bigger batt and screen, has some good dev support. I know its not new but it has me interested...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rfvreynoso:
What would be my best course of action to get the LG G2? I have line 1 with unl data and line 2 with 4gb of data. Both lines are due for upgrade on end of January. Problem is my Galaxy Nexus on line 1 is on its last leg. Freezing, laggggggging, battery is more horrible than usual (2yr old battery).

I was thinking on bringing mother in law flip phone from cricket to VZ and use the new line pricing on it and then put back a flip phone on it. As far as I know that's a good way of doing it.

Question is Verizon has the lg g2 for $149 on new line while amazon wireless has the lg g2 for $39.99 on new line pricing. The answer is obvious I want to go with amazon wireless. Will I be able to order the lg g2 on new line pricing added to family plan and pay $40 or whatever it is and then once phone comes in the following day switch the phone to line 1 which is my unlimited data line and then put a flip phone on the new line without getting in trouble with amazon ??? I don't know about amazon wireless terms and stuff.

Thanks in advance. Sorry for thread highjacking. Didnt know where to ask. Any help will be appreciated it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1454:
I can understand that. I'm only with them to they finally axe my unlimited data. They are more expensive than about every other carrier.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that breaks amazon's terms and conditions. And from what I have heard they are real sticklers on it. So I would be careful going the Amazon route. Not saying your plan is wrong, just don't do it with amazon from what I've heard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Best Buy had the G2 for $99 plus $50 first card for Verizon.

I came from the GNex on Verizon and the Stock G2 software feels like an AOKP Rom. I'm really impressed.

I would look for deals before trying to get crafty and it probably backfiring.

I don't really see the big deal is about the Amazon deal. Your activating a new line, Verizon is getting a new line. Amazon can't see what phone is put where. They just make sure the line is kept open for like 90 days or something.

Should be ok but if you can get it legitimately then go that route. Phones and tablets I always buy locally. Instant gratification and a place for warranty swaps.

Verizon said they'd give me $40 for my old GNex. Not worth it IMO but good to know if your worried about cash. Also Verizon Store has $50 off coupons for the G2. Just search. Not sure if a Wal-Mart sells these in store but they typically have cheaper prices.

Player,

I think you sir are correct. I'm checking out eBay and craigslist for a flip phone to have ready. As far as I know best buy will price match amazon and even if they don't the sales are better than Verizon. So I think I will go that route.

Hopefully can get a flip phone soon and get my G2 in the next day or two. While the galaxy nexus was an awesome device it has outlive its usefullness due to new devices being so much faster, screen resolution and brightness, battery life, etc etc.

I was thinking on selling gnexus but for $50-60 I could get for it might as well keep it as a backup device just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1454:
Repurpose the device. I use my gnex as a puppy cam, and my rezound as a dash cam. There are many apps out there to do anything you want to with the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtothec:
Hey guys, I might need your help. I have my gnex for 1.5 year now. My battery is really worse, and sadly i did drop it on the floor. I'm looking for a new phone now. (I didn't want to start a new thread since all the phones I might look at are "new phones" compared to the gnex). Now it would be logical in a way to upgrade to a Nexus 5. But I was also considering the look at a Nexus 4 or even a Xiaomi mi2s 32gb. Now since I don't have that much money, i would prefer a nexus 4 (+-220€ 2nd hand 16gb) or mi2s (266€ new +18€shipping) . Im sure that the nexus 4 is a great device, but the mi2s comes with 32gb and (I think) better camera ? Is it worthy to spend that bit more on a new mi2s or should I save money and go safe on a nexus 4 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
I don't know how hard is for you to get some extra money, but I'd wait and go for a nexus 5, you'll get more updates than nexus 4, which is probably near to its EOL, specially seeing what just happened with our GNexus. Thats my opinion. If you can't wait, then I'd go for a nexus 4.

Well I am happy to say that I am the new owner of a LG G2.

Went to best buy and opened a new line and got bb to price match amazon wireless for $39.99. Woo-hoo to me.

Now i just have yo get a flip phone and all good. I called Verizon customer care and the lady told me everything I did was perfect so far. When I get a flip phone to call and add flip phone to line, that will deactivate g2 and then they will activate g2 on my unlimited data line and that will deactivate gnex and all is good.

Thanks everyone. Now the question is otterbox commuter case or incipio feather? Decisions, decisions. Hehehe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I like the Incipio Feather. Very nice. It hides that plastic back but doesn't add too much weight or width. I had a feather on my GNex and now on my G2. Not too much difference in feel. The G2 is only a few MM wider. Feels good.

Rooting is easy, then download TWRP and flash with Flashify.

Then checkout some of the Stock mods. Black nav bar theme. Smaller Nav size. Declutter status bar Mod. Lower DPI to 400.

Coming from AOKP, I really dig modded stock.

Also check out the themes. You can theme Launcher, keyboard, SMS, and lockscreen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
Kinda curious. Before you bought the g2 where you open to any device...meaning did you only want another nexus then this one changed your mind or had you had your eye on this since it dropped . I love my gnex, live how you can throw anything at it and it just keeps going asking for more and the huge amounts of mods and customizations. The g2 has caught my eye for a while now but just worried that development will not be as lengthy ( yrs) as the gnex and oh ... A locked bootloader. I see there are a good amount of ROMs but are there any kernels for it?

On a side note does anyone think the n5 will drop in price...say around the holidays...?;)
