After owning two HTC devices both of which I ended up ripping sense out of it and loading AOSP or a minimal sense rom . Also the number of returns I have had on their phones for issues . I know some Gnex owners have had to do that as well so I guess that cant really be used as a point . I swore from HTC products all togather . At this point in the game now battery life is my biggest selling point . The next future phone I purchase will have a big battery already installed in it . I know some have the luxury of being attached to wifi all day long and so forth . Some of us are not that fortunate and left to be fed to the 4G battery monster . Can I shut the 4G off , yes but where I work 4G is the only real data signal that I can reach .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
That is false. I can't say what happened to you but I can say without doubt that music does not cut off when you leave the screen. You can go browse the web or whatever while the music is on. Or lock the phone and let the music play. The multi tasking works how HTC seems to want it. Some do not like it. A lot also don't even mind it. To each there own. I personally didn't like how web pages had to reload when you went back from the multitasking bar but it was not every app. Some apps did NOT have to reload.

Some have said the LTE One X's long battery life and all other things considered is worth it. I too have seen that the LTE One X does get really good battery life. Impressive from such a thin LTE device. But again, we just have to get what works for us. Pros and Cons to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
I was slightly bothered by this, until I rotated my phone 180 degrees. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Why didnt you flash the CM9 for One X then ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
It is NOT false. I have tested it extensively, as have others on the One X forum. Go do some reading and then come back and tell me that my statement is false. I still have the device laying here and I can duplicate any time I want. I'm talking about streaming music. I can start Slacker on both the One X and Gnex and leave them running. The One X will kill Slacker after a few songs, the Gnex will leave it running indefinitely.

Few apps resume state when you multitask back to them. Most of the games never do. And the few that do will only hold that state very briefly. It's pathetic. My Gnex gets decent battery life with real multitasking. I know the Verizon version had battery issues, but the GSM version is great with battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I'm not interested in putting a custom ROM on my phone and honestly I shouldn't have to. I would have been happy using the One X stock if it worked correctly. I actually wanted some of the Sense enhancements (such as the integrated Facebook and Twitter in contacts), but I didn't realize how royally they had crippled the multitasking until later. Whether intentional or not, HTC seriously hurt the usability of that phone.

All that being said, I actually like the way the Gnex fits in my hand much better. Even with an identical case for both, the Gnex just feels right and the HTC always felt a tad uncomfortable, especially when I tried to power it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
Currently own an AT&T One X (had it about 10 days) and just ordered a Gnex from the Google Play store. Will be returning the One X for the following reasons:

1) Wifi bug. Wifi is really erratic and unstable, and it constantly disconnects/goes to sleep when the phone is in standby mode, even if "sleep policy" is set to "always on."

2) Push email bug. I'm constantly getting logged out of Google Talk, and whenever I get logged out of Google Talk, my push email in the native Gmail app ceases to function. This results in email delays of anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. It seems to be a problem with the phone disconnecting from all google services when the phone is in standby mode. This is by far my biggest issue with the One X. Any reason that I should expect to experience this issue on the Gnex?

3) Multitasking issue. I can confirm that almost all of my apps completely shut down when I switch to a different app. For instance, I'm browsing XDA, and a text message comes in. So I switch over to text messaging, read text, respond, and then switch back to XDA using the multitasking button. Guess what? XDA completely reloads and I have to navigate back to whatever forum I was in and whatever post I was reading. I have not experienced my music shutting down, but even without this, it is extremely annoying for multitasking to completely reload apps constantly.

4) App associations issue. When you click a youtube link, it opens the browser, not the youtube app. When you click a Play store link, it opens the browser, not the Play Store app. Very annoying.

In summary, I think I can deal with some issues. I could deal with the wifi bug if that was the only bug. I could probably deal with app associations and multitasking bug if those were the only bugs. But with all 4 of them, it's just too much to bear. I hope the Gnex is more reliable. I've read a lot about the screen problems with the Gnex. I don't think I'm very picky when it comes to that type of thing, so as long as the screen does not make my eyes bleed, I'll probably be fine with it.

Here's to hoping that I have more success with the Gnex than I had with the One X. My Xperia Ray and my original Droid Incredible worked better than the One X.

As a final note, I have to say the One X does have AWESOME hardware. Screen is beautiful. LTE is speedy. Battery life was solid even with LTE on. Unibody construction was great. Camera amazing. But with so many software bugs, the best hardware in the world can't make up for it.

Just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Well, I asked because most of the stuff you didn't like could be solved with an AOSP ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I agree, but I buy an HTC phone for the Sense enhancements. If I want a stock experience, I'll use the best one available: The Galaxy Nexus, which I'm now using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Always consider purchases for what a phone can do at that time; not what it may be able to do at a later time. Looks to me that is what greyhulk did here. It didn't do what he wanted out of the box, so he moved on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Maybe the problem with the apps closing is cause if sense I have own different sense phones and specially the evo 4g, thunderbolt and the evo 3d and the reason most app would close is because HTC sense takes a lot memory
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
Hardware can only be as good as software is and vice versa. The One X has great hardware but Sense is still buggy and bloated.

The GN has inferior hardware but the software is much more fine tuned than the One X. If/When the one X has more devs attentions/supports, it WILL be better than GN. But for now, GN is still THE best Android experience device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Hehe, true that. I'd buy the One X for it's awesome HW and design, but flash AOSP immediately, since I think it's first Android who's gorgeous and runs great ;]

Agree, but we're power Android users here. We have a choice. It's sad that you have to flash 3rd party software to be satisfied, but that's always been the case with HTC anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Some of us are.

You can tell the ones that aren't, because they complain about official OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheChiller:
I have both the Nexus and the OneX, and i gotta say boys... In my opinion, the HTC is the clear winner.

Materials, design, hardware, software (yeah I like sense ;-)

And even if people don't like sense, with the OneX you can always flash a sense-less rom, but you cant flash a sense rom on the Gnex (yet, if ever).

HTC just made the King of phones hehe.. am I gettin' flamed now???:eek::D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You can run a less-Sense rom, but not a Sense-less rom.

Not yet.

No flames, but the One X appeals to a different demographic. It is a closed device, and HTCDev doesn't truly unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheChiller:
Funny, I have NONE of these issues with my HOX?

1..Wifi never drops.

2.. push also works.

3..multitasking doesnt kill apps, when switching to another app.

4. When clicking a Google Play link or youtube link, phone asks me if I want to open in browser or Google Play/Youtube.( Like its supposed to ;)

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

You're right in both cases :) Guess it all comes down to if people want Sense or Not. I just like the nice big widgets and cool(bloated) graphics on the big screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I didn't have Wifi issues either, but I definitely had the push issues and you're smoking CRACK if you think Multitasking is working correctly, or you're not really using it.

You're one of three people I have seen claim that it's not closing apps in the background and I tend to classify you with those people who still think the Moon landing was fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheChiller:
When switching away from the browser to another app, then back to browser, the page might reload, but is never killed. Btw I do believe we landed on the moon, but I will confess to have smoked a blunt or two in my days ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Why don't you just pocket it upside down? That makes sense to me. Pull out and its right side up. Also having both the power and headphone on the bottom is great for a windshield mount as you don't have wires coming out of the top.

Edit: upside down as in the top if the phone is down and the bottom is up (with the headphone and charging ports facing upward).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I dunno about you, but if I put my phone in my pocket, the top goes to the bottom. The reasoning, I dont want to fumble with the device to turn it around to answer it when I reach in and pull it out when it is ringing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
That is great, but if you are suggesting that these bugs do not exist, open your eyes, there are dozens of threads and hundreds of posts with people reporting these bugs. The fact that you have not experienced them does not mean that they do not exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheChiller:
Yeah you're right.. so if you click a youtube link it automaticly opens in the browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
Yep and same with play store links. Nobody that has the issue has found a way to fix it as far as I know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Wow....the Hox release is turning into the same fiasco the Gnex release was. I am a little taken back by some of the comments in here though.....you guys should have some sympathy for the phone and people who bought them.....I mean who can relate better than you guys?

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
It's much more severe than just the browser. Games states don't save, some music streaming programs close in the background. It's madness. If this was just a browser refresh issue, I'd be annoyed and move on. It's much more than that. Play with your phone more and test it and you'll see. The browser was the first thing i noticed, but it's just the tip of the iceberg here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
I agree. Check these vids :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646409

Multitasking on the one x is really a joke.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Me too, at first I was skeptical about it but once I got the phone it made a lot of sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Audio jack wise, the bottom is slanted. So when you plug in your headphones a few times, you will notice that the surrounding of the jack have a small scratch.

But that's fine with me, not really visible unless you go hunting for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
i actually love that the headphone jack is at the bottom. i insert the phone in a pouch in reverse... then into my pocket in reverse too. that way... i can just peek at the pouch to see if i have any notifications through the LED light thingy.

if the headphone jack is up top... theres no way to peek at the LED without pulling it out completely out of your pocket, pouch, bag, or wherever you store it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
I just returned my GNex for repair and i miss it really bad. The screen had that reverse burn in thing in the top, so i had a blue tint and a square where the battery is and a triangle at the signal indicator. But nothing at the bottom so i were hoping that it was just a faulty screen.

But after seeing the display model at the shop, im pretty dissapointed. It had power connected all the time, so the screen was allways on. The Google text at the search bar at the top of home screens, was clearly burned in really bad.

If it gets really bad over time with regular use, ill switch to an other phone. And its not like i didnt exercise mine. I played a lot of games and watchet a lot of fullscreen video, so that cant be the thing.

I wish there is a never revision of the screen, so it wont happen again, since the rest of the GNex is perfect for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Not only that, but with power at bottom and audio jack at the top, both plugged in, your phone has awkward airplane wings sticking from both ends like 9 inches long making it difficult. With both at bottom its no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
It is false. You think your the only one who has it? You must have a broke device or mine is better than yours. Because mine streamed music with no issue. Even after closing the application.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I think you have no idea what you're talking about, or you don't understand your phone well enough to use it as more than just a feature phone.

It's a well-documented issue and numerous forums and dozens of users reporting the same thing. You're either doing absolutely nothing else after you start streaming music, or you're using the one music streaming app that somehow isn't affected. Try slacker. Install it, start a station and minimize it and walk away. Come back 15-20 minutes later and the music will have stopped.

This is happening with all apps, not just streaming music. And anyone claiming that their phone is working fine and doesn't see what the fuss is about is either not using their phone, or is using it the simplest way possible and would be just as well served with a feature phone or an iPhone 3G with iOS 3.0 on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It is false, for you. Don't asusme you speak for everyone. Certainly not the OP.

http://tinyurl.com/7c653g5

I'd say there are some pissed off users. I found some additional folks with music issues as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
Thanks for the backup, bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
lol. I can't go back to the feature phones. I see the other people having issues. I seen some time ago someone posted a response from HTC. They said something to effect of having three or more apps open in multitasking it will reload the pages (web) when you go to it. It still does not seem like that should be causing people to not hear there music.

I used mainly MOG. Less so Google Music. But for sure MOG played all my music fine. Being that I was driving I couldn't keep messing with it. It played that without me noticing any problem. Repeatedly. I did see and did not like the way web pages had to reload and render when going back to the web page. Using my Galaxy Nexus I seen it does not do that. If you still have the device why don't you return it? I liked it but the way HTC/AT&T locked it down bothers me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I probably will return it. I kept trying to find a reason to keep it and hoping there was a fix, but I don't foresee that happening soon, if at all.

I'm back on my Gnex now and very happy. I never used Mog. It was a built-in app on the One X, so maybe that's why it worked without a hitch. I would hope that HTC would at least give their own apps priority.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
Ok. I will not assume. Nor should you assume. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
I am so tempted to get it...again. My LTE Galaxy Nexus is one of my favorite devices. But I moved to an area with bad Verizon coverage. I actually would trade it for the GSM version (even with it having less storage and no LTE) if I could. So I just use it on WiFi. I think that's a big reason I am tempted to get the One X again. Since AT&T gets great data speeds here. But the LTE One X still has the issues we wrote about. haha. O well. It may be best if we wait for the GS3. Expandable storage will be nice. Plus it shouldn't be as locked down as the LTE One X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0kk0:
yes you did ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TZAR@:
I like that the headphone jack is on the bottom. When I play music in the car it would look really funky if wires were coming from the top and bottom. This way it looks more uniform with the power & headphone jack side by side.

Sent from my Sexii G Nexii 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I haven't assumed a thing. I provided you with links of others having problems. You are the one that said you did not have a problem, therefore the original poster was being false.

I have assumed nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
I see. And still others are not having problems. Because you posted links to people having problems...means other people had problems. OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It means that not everyone's experience is bug free, despite you posting that the OP was not telling the truth by saying his claim was false.

Is this a difficult concept for you to grasp?

Even The Verge picked up on the multitask issue.

I am making no assumptions either way. I don't own the phone to make them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
Haha. I didn't ask you a question. Nor did I ask for some meaning. Thanks for caring enough to offer feedback though.

I also seen another site mention the “multitask issue". Although they didn't see it as an issue. Android Central saw it as customized. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skunk Ape1:
The program association bug has been fixed on the sprint version EVO Lte. (Phil from Android Central reported it in his mini review). As for the task switcher it isn't a bug. It is exactly as HTC intended it to be. You might might not like it but it's not a bug.

The sprint (Evo) version is also not as locked down as the the One is and will probably have as much development as the gnex.

One thing that has plagued just about every Samsung device. Is the crappy radios they use. That and the sorry azzed software buttons are the two things that make me stay away from the gnex. I could probably overlook the crappy radios but can't ever look past the software buttons. The gnex could have a 6 core 3 gHz processor and I would pass it up because of the buttons.

I'm not saying I'm getting the htc evo but I may consider it if there is no announcement by sprint on the gs3 soon.

Just Flash It !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] primetimelive:
I've had a variety of Android devices over the past few years and I must say that the pure Google experience you get through the Nexus phones can't be beat.

Sure I've been seduced by the higher megapixel camera, quad core processor and the sexy polycarbonate body. However the skin... the damn skin really bugs the hell out of me. For some people, Sense is great. I get it. But if it holds back getting software updates for at least a year, then forget it.

I just got the GNex yesterday and I love the phone. I don't get the whole pentile problem that some people have. But I guess I don't see it or I'm not that picky. The screen is gorgeous.

Oh yeah.. and being pentaband can't hurt either. That was the main selling point for me for getting the Gnex ;) When I travel down to the US, it's very convenient for me to just slip in a T-mobile SIM.

My old Nexus S, I gave to my mom. I'm still showing her how to use it, but everytime I hold the Nexus S, I still kind of miss it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
I do believe the HTC one multitasking is flawed or better yet a bad implementation of multitasking. I have seen the reports etc. But in general never use slacker radio to judge multitasking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I agree sense is heavy not matter what they have tone down. And I feel that multitasking on the one X is worse then my iPhone ( compare with friends) kind of annoying I wish OEM would let you choose between AOSP or Custom (sense, touchwiz, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skunk Ape1:
While not all that impressed with pure Google experience. I have the nexus s4g and hate the stock launcher. You can easily have that if you want. They already have the custom pure Google roms.

Yeah many might point out that you have to root to do it. Remember the gnex is also a dev phone and as such it was meant to be rooted. That's just part of your pure google experience you keep reminding us about.

Just Flash It !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
I would like to know who started this "dev phone" bull****, probably a whiny kid whose limited thinking drove him to believe that by rooting his phone he became a developer. But anyways, GNex is the only phone where everything just works, and as such the statement " it's meant to be rooted" just sounds foolish. Yes it gives the possibility to root,unlock bootloader,tweak and mod stuff, but that doesn't make it a "dev phone meant to be rooted".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skunk Ape1:
A lot of people would disagree with you... :D

Just Flash It !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
Actually, I fully agree with him. I'm extremely confident that Samsung didn't build the Nexus to cater only to people who want to mod and hack their phone. Samsung executives don't look for ways to limit their demographic like that.

And given that I work for a company that did some of the advertising for that phone, I can guarantee you that they didn't advertise it for hackers. They wanted end users to buy it.

Samsung didn't build the Nexus to just sell it to an elite group of hackers and modders.

I made a post that cleared up the dev phone confusion somewhere...

I was pretty much sold on getting the One X, but I knew i wouldn't be happy waiting for dev support, so I took the leap on a Gnex. First AOSP device and I can say my only gripe is the camera.

I think my next phone will be another nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I was actually expecting the camera to be horrible and was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely not iPhone 4s quality, but it's not as bad as some reviewers made it out to me. If you use GSMarena's photo compare tool, it looks like a rockstar compared to the One X, which is odd.

My pictures have come out pretty well with good detail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Supposedly the poor multitasking on the One X is due to Sense being a total memory hog. Color me surprised.:rolleyes:
