[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Monk4Life:
Read the Verges review. Its the complete opposite. I think some reviewers need to have hearing tests done before they are allowed to review a cell PHONE! Maybe they still have iPhone residue left in their ears from all the positive reviews they give that damn phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier-2Point0:
I think the reason why LG is the manufacturer of the new Nexus is because Samsung do not need Google seal of approval to sell devices. Galaxy SIII, Note 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
It was never about a "seal of approval", Google made devices based on already successful devices (N1 and Desire/Incredible, S based on the Galaxy S, GNex somewhat based on the SII).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hlaalu:
What about Google voice for chatting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whahn1983:
Still uses minutes unless you link it to a VoIP app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
Is anyone concerned about the Nexus 4 being slower than the Galaxy Nexus? I just ran the same tests that anandtech did and the galaxy nexus beat the nexus 4 in all of the web browsing tests. That is north ridiculous and pretty crappy. The Nexus 4 better still be running on non final software Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
Google have all phone manufactures asking to make the next nexus, they choose who to do it by looking at who is trying to advance certain aspects. Like lg have been developing wireless charging which is a pretty cool feature cuz I hate plugging my phone in and gone through loads of USB ports on the phone from pulling the cable

Nothing to do with a seal of approval or whatever it is your yabbering about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I'm not surprised, I don't think I will bother with nexus phones from now after seeing the lg nexus4 I'm not impressed, already saving for galaxy note 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stinky73:
So?? I dropped my Gnex once and all was not good!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
Glass back is horrible IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FastMhz:
If it works with Tzones, yes.

If not, no. Back to Gnex!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ralph78:
No SD card slot means for me no for a new Nexus. Only 16 Gb of storage memory is ridiculous.

No 4g when all other devices have this now.... means this phone is made for China. They cheaped out here folks. Wait for the HTC version in about 3 months called the butterfly. Quad core, 4 g, 12mp camera, 2gb ram.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
I'm sticking with my GN. I bought it in April and like to keep a phone for about two years, to get the most out of the money paid.

The N4 looks like a great phone, for the most part. The downsides for me are the lack of pogo pins, only 16GB of internal memory, non-removable battery, and the glass back. The big upsides are the 2GB of RAM and the LCD screen. The wireless charging is neat and may make up somewhat for the lack of pogo pins. The key to this would be a wireless charging dock that holds the phone at a firm angle like the GN desktop dock does, along with also putting the phone into desktop clock mode. This might be something that could be done via a built-in NFC tag, I would think. Having a car dock using the same techniques would be great, as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chan199151:
Nexus 4 is1 very good,but I don't think it's time to get one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
Why you being ignorant China makes quality products and 12mp doesn't make a good camera 4G is a battery killer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hlaalu:
Just thought of another reason to keep my gnex, I spent $90 on the official pogo desk dock that was only available for Verizon gnex a few months ago lol. I'm locked in for a bit longer. If LG was smart they would have tons of accessories lined up already!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Why is everyone so bothered about LTE what do you do on your phones that needs more than HSPA+'s bandwidth? Its faster than my home broadband !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATMOSF3AR:
Waiting for some good reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uansari1:
I've had every Nexus device to date, and the G1 prior to that, and each one has been better than the last. I'll give you two guesses if I'm getting one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stulzerl:
Give it to me!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
This is what everyone who thinks they need lte is forgetting.

Also, by paying verizon $100+ per month, you are overpaying for cellphone service. A nexus device on a gsm mnvo is the smartest smartphone choice anyone can make.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matrix0683:
I think I will stick to nexus for time being.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amir80:
The Nexus 4 and nexus 10 reviews are all based on unfinished versions of Android 4.2. Some features are missing, like the Multi User on the Nexus 10.

We all should wait to the released version (or to the version with all the fixes a few weeks later...) before our verdict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctowne:
Same reasons for me. The biggest being the super amoled screen. I cant stand the image retention and i like the brightness and natural colors of the ips lcd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pratzgh1:
Nexus 4 would definitely be a good leap. But are the apps going to perform any better than my existing gnex! Nope.

So, why change when user experience will be almost constant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hero_Guy:
I am! Already bought me a Sim card as well and got my paycheck ready. Just waiting for the 13th which is taking forever. Reviews and hands on videos can only hold me over for so long!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] past_pluto:
I would switch but I pay 85 for unlimited everything and 450 minutes. It would be 20% more but I work for a company that gets a discount. Still may buy a N4 and put it on prepaid and if 4g doesn't come to my area completely, maybe I ditch Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowstewie:
The Nexus 4 comes with Chrome preloaded and they did away with the Stock Browser on the Galaxy Nexus. The stock browser does perform better based on a LOT of reviews I've seen everywhere. Google needs to fix Chromes laggy performance. I still use the stock browser because its faster than Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuan209:
i am still debating on whether or not to spring for the N4.

Not really a fan of the glass back and chrome border.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arid711:
consider me switched if it's available today! Patiently waiting for the 13th!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I almost certainly would (love it except the camera doesn't look very good) but I have a year left of my contract. Galaxy Nexus should last until then just fine.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Against my own advice of buying a Nexus I am about to buy a Dinc4G off contract and simply because I broke my Dinc2 screen two times in a row...

How is the Dinc4G? Any issues (software or hardware glitches)? I want to ensure that it is a good phone. I know it has great specs, but that is half the story. The other half is living with it (and I learned from my experience with the Droid X2 and Transformer prime)..

So any issues at all? Or is it smooth sailing?

EDIT: OMG! I bought the phone! :o

Now please god, let me make up some of that cash from the Dinc2 sale.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
i would say smooth sailing, well the sdcard thingy, but the only problem i have had is waiting for root.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] bberryhill0:
I like mine. It's noticeably faster than the Incredible 2. I bought a 64GB SDCard from Amazon for $44.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
I think you'd like it. S off is coming. I liked the og Inc better than my Inc 2 and the 4g reminds me of the first incredible. And you already know the devs are good ones.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

One thing is my first 4g had about 10 dead pixels so I got a new one. The new one has some of the back light bleeding from the bottom bezel though but that's nbd to me
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
the form factor is closer to the og inc than inc2 (though not *That* different)

i have no complaints with mine, and plan on keeping it for a long time...even when the dlx/dna launches (ill just swap sims when i want use one or the other)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Hold on a sec! You said what now about SD cards? I guess it shouldn't be major issue but I'd like to hear moar!

I am about to finalize the deal and I don't wanna over think this. Yes, I was an idiot to drop my Dinc2 and crack the screen for a second time, and it cracked easily since I probably didn't install it properly first time around. And yes, it is gonna be expensive to go off contract, but anywho... i hope the resale value for the Dinc4G is good ones my upgrade comes around.... :/ :confused:

Man, do I know how to waste good money :(. Anyway gang, I will shortly join you and we can continue our crusade of the missing OTA update for Key Lime Pie... (4.2, I guess, ain't it!)

Welcome back to the land of Dix! :D Thanks all! I hope I don't mess up my future phones like this... It is only after you drop and break a phone you realize that you have to treat these devices like babies... Don't Drop Them!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SpyderPride:
Personally, I like mine but the build quality has been questionable. I took my first one back after a day of use because the screen was discolored, used the next one for about a month with a creaky battery cover before a crack started forming at the headphone jack, and finally the one I have now seems acceptable. The only design annoyances I've found are that the camera lens clicks as it focuses (bad for video) and the buttons don't have much feedback. Reception could be better, but it generally works fine.

Other than that, good software, good screen, good battery life.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
the sdcard issue is the internal sd, will not let you transfer apps to the extsd, but root might cure that, not sure. i think all the new phones have this issue as well.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
This. Check out the original thread about the issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754248

I swapped out my DInc4G twice with Best Buy because of the screen discoloration issue. The last phone I received from Best Buy had the same issue and HTC was kind enough to exchange my phone for a new one. I'm currently on my third DInc4G. All was fine until a month ago when the screen discoloration appeared on my current phone. I may contact HTC again but I've been busy and don't feel like going through the hassle of setting up my phone again.

I haven't experienced any other issues with the phone. The battery life is great compared to my OG DInc, and once we get s-off, it will be an even better phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Haha, damn. I just bought it. Anyway, sounds like the screen discoloration issue is primarily due to the glue not having fully cured and all? And I was guessing this has solid build quality. Well, you always have a few bad ones, but I wonder if I activate a Dinc4G on my line and I have issues down the road, can I do a Certified replacement from Verizon? :confused:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
That is an ICS issue, not specific to this phone. I'm hopeful there is a fix once rooted.

No probs with mine and I've had it for a few months now. Accessories are quite limited. Other than that, it's a great phone.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
YEAH! I just got mine and already very happy. The 4G is the first thing to blow my mind! It is better than the WiFi speed I get at my room (though right next to the router, I should get exceptional WiFi)!

Now, get me up to speed, y'all! Is it okay to update to the latest OTA? And do we have root? Or should I just wait till the S-OFF rather than root it now? :cyclops: :fingers-crossed:

Cheers!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
well, we are waiting on a s-off exploit, yes you need the new ota to run the exploit. i would wait for that if i were you, but i don't know how long it will be before it's released. that's about it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Congrats! And welcome!

I see the same thing at home-faster 4G than WiFi. Still have unlimited plan, so I don't worry about it :)

Best way to catch up is to look at the FAQ in the general section, and browse the top posts there and in Q&A. You'll be caught up in no time. Enjoy your new Dinc4g!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eftaxias:
Hi guys, my first post here..

I bought yesterday my nexus and I am completely pleased with this great device and software.

I want to ask you about the strength of this device. I always feel a little insecure for my devices. So I "test" them to find out how durable they are. So, even if the nexus 7 seems very durable and strong, when i bend it, the screen makes some color difference at the edges. Just to notice: not at normal, but when I bend it much...

Is there any problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFAinHD:
You can't be serious. You are bending a $200 tablet, the reason for the discoloration is the fact you are bending the display which causes the liquid crystal to move.

If you don't want to cause permanent damage I recommend you don't purposely bend it anymore.

[Edit] I have a question, in what sensible thought would bending your device be a good way to test its durability? What kind of situation would you be in that you would accidentally bend your tablet?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Well, glass isn't really supposed to bend...

If your device looks fine during normal usage I would say you are OK. If you notice color differences on the edges without bending, you may have an issue.

For the future, with the numerous screen lift issues I would say that the front glass on the Nexus 7 is under a bit more strain than other tablets. So don't bend it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
OMG.. Im very sorry but if i ever run into you stuck and needing to use my phone. Yes because yours has a broken screen from bending it.. I will have to say NO.. Its a tablet not a yoga teacher Do not bend your tablet . If you bend your tablet it will not longer be your friend. Please do not bend your friends...

Sent from Concerned citizens against bending nexus tablets.. Time to hit up congress for a new law ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Tablets aren't made to bend. There is probably enough give to accommodate slightly but those are in cases of an accident. I wouldn't go around intentionally trying to damage my device. The only time I would bend it was if I accidentally sat on it, and the results probably won't be good.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eftaxias:
Ok, clear.. I will stop it :P

To be serious, for the friend asking, no there is no colour problem in normal use. It also seems not to have the usual screen lift problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootbrain:
Yes. The problem is some people shouldn't be allowed around expensive electronics.

[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
they unofficially allow a lot of phones now but for some reason not all. I REALLY want to add one of those ruggedized kyocera jobbies to my dad's account (he beats the crap out of his hardware :)
[Member-Found Deals] jewfish:
Yes a lot of them do, however, as an experienced flasher myself, I have flashed more active Sprint handsets than those with bad esns. It is the same reason why we people requesting a service like that has gone down so much. In the several stores I oversee, people use to come in everyday and ask for their phones to be flashed. But, since the Evo Design and Galaxy S2 released, we see maybe 1 person a week.
[Member-Found Deals] jewfish:
I have a picture of their first round of marketing material for this but it wont let me post pics, so you have to pm me your email and I will send it to you.

[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
what do you mean 2009? will people be able to activate S2 S3 phones or not ? I know both the S2 and S3 are compatible with boost because I use them BOTH on boost (and boost even sells the S2 now)
[Member-Found Deals] jewfish:
So, got more information. They are going to roll it out with 15 current handsets and then progressively migrate the rest of the line up into compatibility with Boost. I am guessing they want to do some kind of soft-rollout to ensure that it goes smoothly. We'll see. As far as the material is concerned, I believe they are going to change the tearpads and window vinyls to reflect more current handsets. As far as specific information on what phones, I havent seen the list yet.
[Member-Found Deals] shabbypenguin:
the flier shows off some old devices, and the tiny text at the bottom says select devices, ergo i dont expect people buying a brand new sgs3 skipping sprint without paying the etf and jumping to boost are gunan be welcomed much.

i never said they could/wouldnt work on there but the advertisement is imply straight out of teh box works and shows phones not many would care to want to use after such a long time.

So today I tried to flash my Xperia S with flashtool.

Downloaded CM10 (FXP144), copied the zip file to the phone. etc etc.

fastboot works, but when I'm in CMW recovery and try to install the zip file (FXP144-cm-10-20121026-unofficial-anzu.zip) it fails..

E:error in /sdcard/...zip (status 7) installation abborted.

This means my phone is completely stuck.

Hello,

Think you should post this in Q and A section. I'm not sure of the codename for the Xperia s. But I'm quite sure it's not 'anzu'. Make sure you download the right zip for the device you're flashing to.

Nozomi maybe?

If you can get into cwm then I presume you can download the right file to a PC, and transfer it to your phone by going to the mounts and storage menu in cwm and mounting mass storage?

You should be able to flash the correct file in cwm?

Look for a stock rom that's a .ftf extension.

Download flashtools.

Reboot in flashboot (Vol down + power)

Flash the ftf file.

Should (hopefully) work?

Edit: Try looking for an ICS rom. The stock ones are kind of every where. GB ones are a lot harder to find.
