[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
So, I called Verizon yesterday because I'm a little frustrated with not getting ICS and one of the accessories I want is not made because they EOL the Revo already. They offered to let me get the Galaxy Nexus for $199 even though I'm not due for an upgrade and they will give me $63 for my Revo.

Would you do it?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I warrantied my Revo about 5 times and they sent me a Nexus as a replacement.
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
Not a sinle issue with mine to date.

Biggest complaint is the case and mount I ordered to use on my motorcycle won't work and they company is not going to make one that works for the Revo.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Tell the rep I want one, give me a phone number and a name, and I'll do it today. I'll let you know if it was worth it :D

It's akin to saying: "If someone offered you a Corvette for $30k, and offered $20k for a Kia Rio you owned, would you do it?"

"Only if I wasn't in a coma."

EDIT: I should probably add the disclaimer that Verizon is on the "screw you" campaign for its customers, so you'd need to examine what they were doing with your plan. Would you lose your unlimited data? Would you be forced into two years on a tiered data plan? Are they going to try to chain you to one of their "family shared, everybody wins except you (Stock holders, Verizon, etc.)" plans?

After all, no device is worth your soul...
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
I took the deal and the Nexus should be here Friday.

No changes to my contract as I was already on the 4Gb data plan(The wife has the unlimited data) and my contract date is still December 2013, so not a bad deal. I wish I had a different choice for carriers, but here in Wyoming they are the only one with decent coverage.

The more I read about the Nexus the more I like it. More to follow on Friday.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Its a great phone minus the signal issues. Unlock it root it flash the new radios and throw some CM9 or one of the other roms and you will be fine!!
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
To answer the original question... Yes! with out a second thought. I would trip over myself getting my wallet it out to pay for it.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I'd trip over my own feet running to the store from the joy of being released from this hell pit of a phone! but, yes I'd defiantly take that offer any day. But, what was the accessory that you wanted but they no longer had since they EOL the phone already?
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
I wanted the Kraken AMS from Trident so I could clip the phone to my motorcycle handlebars, but they only made the Kraken II and from the person I talked with on the phone since LG has EOL the Revo they will not produce the Kraken AMS for the Revo.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Time to complain to Verizon that I want the Kraken AMS so they'll give me a new phone :D
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
It was a two part complaint. The other half had to do with no ICS for the Revo.

Go ahead and use it if you want. I'll only charge $5 for the use of this claim to get a different phone.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Oh trust me, I complain about no ICS everyday. If I really tried hard enough I could easily get a Nexus.
[LG Revolution] keynith:
ics is awesome! well on a tablet...if only my revo could get it i would be content for the next year i have this unit...
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
agreed. I have ways out of this phone if I want. I have 2 other lines that are up for renewal, both have regular flip phones with no data plan. I can renew one of those and get a new phone and transfer it to my line. I am a firm believer in paying for your mistakes however, and carrying this phone until upgrade for this line is my pence for impatient and not waiting for 4 months.

I am also very unhappy with Verizon. I have the unlimited data plan and there is no 4G in my area. Verizon promised me 3 different dates but has yet to deliver. Now it looks like I will not get to take advantage of unlimited data on 4G ever because by the time it hits my area (Verizon is now promising by end of 2013) I will have had to update and will have lost unlimited data. It's not like I live in some obscure remote village in the mountains. I live in Ventura California. I'm 40 minutes north of LA. Sprint service and coverage sucks, but right now the unlimited data, selection of phones, and roll over minutes are looking pretty sexy right now.
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
Just got off the phone with Verizon:

Sending back this second Revo (very recently began to Vibraboot again) in exchange for a Razr Maxx, no upcharge.

They offered the straight Razr (pun!) but I mentioned I had an extended battery and needed something with juice. Two minutes on hold and the 'supervisor' said no problem. Should be here Thursday. :)

Edit: fwiw, the Razr ics update is scheduled to start rolling out next week.
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
Great to hear they got you taken care of.

I've had my GN since Friday and I've got it Unlocked, Rooted, and running CWM. Also through in a custom rom and kernal and I'm really loving running ICS.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I am running ICSourcery and loving the ROM. Try that out. They have a new update coming soon supposed to be amazing.
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
Spoke with Vzw yesterday and told tune I was done with my phone. They offered to send me a refurb revo. They wouldn't budge. I guess I'll put up with my refurb until upgrade in Aug
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
How many replacement revos have you had? I went through 4-5 before they let me choose which phone I wanted.
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
I had 0 warranty replacements. I bought the second one used from an individual. Just depends on who ends up on the other end of the line I suppose..

Also, the razr is pretty damn sweet. At least, coming from a revo. ; )
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
This is my 2nd one coming. Is it bad to hope there is something wrong with the replacement so I can send it back as well?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Did they give you a list of which ones you could pick or what?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
They asked which phone I wanted and I told them either the Razr Maxx or the Nexus and they said OK so I went with the Nexus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
I usually don't have this problem, because I splashtop for my computer for all webbrowsing normally. I'm out of the house on wifi and splashtop dies, so I'm unable to connect to my computer :/ Then I pop up the stock browser to browse here, and work on my schoolwork (Which is a badly coded flash site x.x) Stock browser refuses to recognize flash (for whatever reason, I reinstalled and still no.) Thats out. Download Dolphin, flash works but, button 'Start class' (javascript) refuses to work, and the pages glitch and are wonky. That's out. Opera, won't recognize flash, out. Google chrome beta, crashes instantly, out. Firefox normal, no flash out. Firefox beta new, no flash for Tegra 2, out. Maxthon (my old fav from ARHD) Same problems as Dolphin... Broken buttons/page layouts. I feel like I'm trying to browse the web on my lg cosmos 2 dinosaur phone with all these app related problems (ok exaggeration but still...) The only one I got to work was Skyfire, but it's bugging the crap out of me with page layout and speed. Is there a browser that can perform exactly the same as a desktop browser does? Or at least load pages properly? It's extremely annoying that pages don't load or layout/flash doesn't work. Ugh. I use mozilla on my computer and it works amazingly connected through splashtop, but I need a backup...

Are you stock, non-rooted, etc? Running any custom ROMs or kernels?

I love using dolphin for pad it's really good, fast too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patgou.007:
You can try Boat browser
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Dolphin seems to mess up page layout and buttons don't work, but it is the fastest. I don't care about speed.. as much, as having perfectly layed out pages like a desktop browser. I'll check out boat and report back. I'm running Guevor's latest kernel on AOKP b37 euroskank build atm, so yes, rooted rommed cwm whatever's needed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjlim:
I know you said that Chrome Beta crashes instantly on your site, but in general it's my go-to browser when something's displaying not-quite correctly on other browsers, since its rendering is derived from desktop Chrome. It works on my university's sites, which are horrible in all of the other browsers I have tried.

If you have a static (or at least infrequently changing) IP address at home, you could try forwarding a port to use Splashtop from anywhere on the internet (expect a performance hit). I do that with Windows' built in Remote Desktop and "Jump Desktop", super useful.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Thanks for the suggestion! I already have that all set up though :D

It's just kinda slow to use just to quickly look something up, I was hoping that a browser exists that won't super bork webpages.

Hopefully chrome will work in an update :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
I just got my nexus this past week and I'm wondering if I should root. I'm coming from an Optimus V where it was a necessity to root. Are there any roms and kernels that can help save battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Of course :D. I can't live without root. But its really preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigjim1488:
The better question is why should you not root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongostl:
Don't bother rooting.

use the nexus toolbox to unlock and flash a custom recovery, then create a backup in recovery.

Flash aokp b37 and franco nightly 166 kernel, and you'll be amazed at how much smoother, how much better the battery life is, and how much more customizable your phone is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
I wouldn't suggest this. I would read up on how to do things manually and don't rely in toolkits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
+1 this

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maui4x4:
Got mine two days ago and just had to root for a little more performance... let alone my battery life doubled. Do it and you won't regret.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
What ROM and kernel are you using? Battery life is dearly important to me. I would do bad things for battery life... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Anything that is based on 4.0.4, even stock. I don't find custom kernels to make a big difference in saving battery (my opinion).. as concerning whether u should root or not, it depends on what u want to do with ur phone and whether u're satisfied or not with stock. Users' needs and expectations differ, so don't let anyone make that decision for u.

Sorry,but i must call BS on this one, there's no way u could've got a realistic estimate of ur battery in those 2days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
Here is my opinion: Why would anyone buy an Android phone if you don't root it? I hate Apple as a company but even I admit that the iPhone is a great piece of technology that inspired all the Android phones. If you don't want to root your device, just return it and get an iPhone.

If you want bloatware gone (yes GN has it too), more customization, better battery life, and snappier phone, go ahead and root and customize. I did it manually, YMMV. I use AOKP and Franco's kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
I just ran into a problem when rooting. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockworkmod and then pulled the battery to reboot but it didn't wipe the phone so I'm not sure what to do

PS: Sorry for not putting this in the Q&A section but I just realized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maui4x4:
Don't have to say sorry lol, I'll drop screens in this thread way later after I run this charge down. :)

To O.P.:

Check out my sig and I barely use 3g so that helps a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
mate, u have to run a few full cycles of the battery to make an objective analysis, u couldn't have done that in the first 2 days u got the phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
I see no reason not to root. Yes it comes down to personal preference but clearly the OP has experience rooting so it shouldn't be that difficult, especially given that this phone was made to be rooted.

Personally, I'm rooted but barely use it for much. Mostly for free tethering and Root Explorer. I just like knowing I can do whatever I want, when I want and I can't possibly screw up my device...for the most part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
I had root with my infuse, but also use my handset to collect work mail.. They just pushed a policy through the GOOD application that fails compliance if the phone is rooted.

Does anyone have _experience_ with removing root temporarily?

-Thanks, Kevin

OTA Rootkeeper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Did you buy it from Google Play? Some phones they ship out don't wipe when you unlock the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
I don't think that's what he meant. I'm not at all an expert, so call me out if I'm crazy, but couldn't you just remove su.zip (idk what a command for that would be) then just reflash it later?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No. That app will do EXACTLY what he is looking for. Don't let the name fool you. It is not just an app to let you keep root during an OTA update -- it allows you to temporarily "unroot" your build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Ah interesting, thanks! Shoulda clicked...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
Yep I did buy it from Google Play. I ended up just flashing the recovery, superuser, and the AOKP ROM all in one go. Works for now! Hope my recovery is still there when I reboot tho...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
ICS is beautiful enough for me. Probably a long time down the line, I will root but I'm just gonna enjoy stock for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
When I read posts like this, I can help but think that the person has no idea what root actually is.

Root is not something mysterious or magical.

Root does not change your stock ICS.

Root does not make you device different/better/worse than stock.

Root does not mean you are using a custom ROM or custom kernel.

Root does not mean OTA updates will not work -- they will.

You do not root a device (that wording doesn't make sense), you root the ROM you are running.

Root is just a term meaning you have root level access to the files in your build.

Root is just two (yes, that's right, two) files copied to your device. Nothing more.

Root allows you to use apps that you would not otherwise be able. It does not make you use them -- it just gives you the option.

Root allows you to install custom ROMs and kernels -- it does not force you to, just gives you the option.

I am running a fully stock ROM and kernel, but I have root access. I have the exact same ROM and kernel as you who is stock with no root. I just have a few apps that you are not allowed to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corei7qm:
Another senseless Thread:

you can root -> try something out!!

if you think rooting is bull**** -> unroot!!

you are not a baby anymore (I think), who has to asks parents what to do.

Grow up and make you own decissions!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Why not root, even if you stay on stock. Root gives you admin access to your phone. Of course you should root. Then if you want you can load a new rom or just keep stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Stupid question on xda. The whole point of having a nexus is easy root.

Sent from my GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
If you need to ask, the answer is no.

Don't bother rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Don't make me laugh. I've been with Android since inception. I've had a G1, a G2 and an OG Droid. All of them rooted. I just like the GNex as it is right now. I will eventually root at some point. The GNex is a walk in the park compared to my old rooted phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm not trying to make anyone laugh. And I wasn't trying to say that you didn't know anything -- what I was trying to say is that your post made it sound to some (read: n00bs) that by rooting, you will not enjoy stock (quote: "I will root but I'm just gonna enjoy stock for now") when in fact there is no difference between stock and rooted stock (aside from two files).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
My bad. I didn't mean to come across that way. I just meant to say to OP that I wasn't compelled enough yet but I will definitely do it eventually. :)

Here are some tips on what not to do when restoring a nandroid

A. Forgetting to wipe system before restoring a nandroid

B. Forgetting to wipe data, cache, and dalvik at the same time
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
General section, dude ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
Yeah wrong section.

My advice: know which kernel you are on before doing a nandroid backup. Make sure you are on a compatible kernel first, flash the same rom as the nandroid backup just in case.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
You know better
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
Forgetting to run Qkster wipe script.

Sometime renaming the nandroid zip creates trouble.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GoSooners345:
Actually I was referring to when you wipe everything on ics cwm recovery and trying to restore a nandroid
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PVD04:
I've restored nandroids many times and have NEVER wiped anything before doing so without any issues. I'm not sure why you'd worry about wiping everything when it is all overwritten by the restore process.
