Lol I was hoping for a different answer instead of ' I couldn't wait '...

But yeah - bad move. :<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidkid311:
You will regret it lol!! :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhatzinyourphonE:
Its an lg. And I'm not taking anything away from them. Them making phone is like OK but I don't see them as a true "phone" maker or at least the ones we like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
And for that reason you chose to buy a phone that's a year old instead? Even though the Nexus 4 is getting great reviews from the people who have used it?

Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Jesus Christ guys. Its his money, if he wants to get the GN then congratulate him and move on.

Enjoy the phone man, it may be a year old but its still awesome. Hope you like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daveyglow:
Welcome :)

Geez I'm surprised to see people pushing their opinions on others. Don't listen, Gnex is a great device!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
it would have been better to wait for the n4 imo.. but the gnex is a awesome phone with alot of development so i am sure you will like it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashzoomerintrack:
Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modgadgets:
Perfect decision :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasonsf:
Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..

ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDioxide:
I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djluis48:
Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

I was like you before the GS2. I had an Atrix 4G trapped on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanDroidian:
Very poor decision. I would love the hear some other decisions you've made in your life. What where you thinking?

:facepalm:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarok12:
You should've waited a week. You're getting an old and much less powerful model for the same price. If you can, I would try to return it ASAP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDioxide:
on amazon i saw it for 30 bucks with a contract the other day? if money is a problem, its not a terrible decision right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
the crap posts on here are funny....

The gnex is plenty powerful and wont have any issues running anything for a long time to come.

Amoled is fantastic imo, lcd looks so washed out.

glass back? I cant wait until all the people with shattered phones start whining
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
If only its greatness surpassed its upcoming obsolescence.

Why would anyone buy one now, just a week away from its replacement?

I plan on using my gnex till it breaks, but I purchased it months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Italianguy:
Hey everyone!! I have done the same thing and I've just jumped ship from the HTC Thunderbolt. I have unlimited on Verizon and I want to hold onto that, so I'll be skipping nexus 4 and hopefully grabbing the nexus 5 if it has LTE.

I too found a great deal on eBay! The 32GB model usually goes for $300 but if you keep your eye on the listings you can grab one for around $200 brand new! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
obsolete in what regard?

It will still be getting updates for quite some time, and will it just suddenly stop being able to run anything lol?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanDroidian:
I'm only saying it was a very stupid decision because his reason was "I can't wait."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Its already a year old. Obsolescence is only another few months away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
You jumped over my question...

obsolete in what regard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Good decision I think. Congrats. I also just got mine about a month and a half ago now. Absolutely love it...best handset I've had. I was on the galaxy note gtn700 which was very good also, but it did not have jellybean!

The nexus 4 looks nice and I was tempted a little but then I read an interesting article about the build quality and specifically the internals the other day that put me off really bad. The article is located on the main page of xda I believe. Check it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buddyfriendo:
Meh, LG. No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
google supports it for another year..and devs will support it even after that so in terms of development it wont be obsolete, the hardware is another matter and personal preference i might add..some ppl dont care about the specs as long as the phone has good development

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

if i were you i would delete this useless post ASAP.. she wanted a gnex she got it.. ppl if you think its a bad move to get the gnex fine but dont try to force your views on others :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanDroidian:
No, she wanted a Nexus4, but settled on an old Nexus because she "couldn't wait."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_b0sss:
Dude why did you not tell me you gonna buy a gnex. Bought mine about 3 months ago for £360 it looks like completely brand new. now listed on eBay had to pull off by fake id coz the final bid was £190

:( I could've sold to you for a very reasonable price. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarok12:
If money is a problem, I wouldn't sign yourself into another contract as most are much more expensive in the long run. I also wouldn't be thinking about buying a new phone if $100 is going to be making your wallet hurt :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDioxide:
I guess you're right. No new phone for me. :( hopes up for nexus 5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djluis48:
In my case, i will sell my GS2 to fund this phone. On my country, i can get about US$250 for my GS2, so i have $250 to spend on a phone. Anything more than that, its out of the question. Found a deal on a brand new Gnex for US$232, so i pulled the trigger and bought the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nighthawk626:
seriously what the hell guys. i swear every idiot is about how big the next phone is gonna be. the galaxy still have tons of life left in it. its not a phone to be bored with anytime soon. ill be sticking with it till tmobile rolls out their lte network. welcome and hope you have fun, this phone gives you lots of roms to work with and mods left and right. enjoy yours like those of us who are proud galaxy nexus owners.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
I will personally never support LG after the 2X disaster even if the Nexus 4 is great. I'm a man with principles! The phone was bad. Their support was even worse. They lied to their customers. Nexus 4 will be absolutely OK though as LG can't touch the software. Still won't get one. It can't do anything for me that my current Nexus can't.

Also. If you have noticed... the Nexus 4 has LCD which is a big disadvantage for me. I can't go back to washed out blacks and terrible contrast from angles after using Amoled for so long. Even if it's sharper.

Nexus camera might be crap in some regards. But it's abolutely fine for Facebook posts which is what I am using it for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmins77:
Classy move.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenith84:
I think the Galaxy Nexus is still a viable phone for people to get at the moment, as long as you can get it significantly cheaper then they are selling the Nexus 4. Its a great phone and I haven't decided if I'm gonna upgrade to the 4 yet. I'll wait and see what peoples opinions are and how much i like 4.2 on the Galaxy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwhead24:
Glass back = replacement

You made the right right decisions.. Don't listen to the trolls :good:

Can't wait for the "Going back to GNEX after purchasing the Nexus 4 threads"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blacks10:
You should have gotten the gs3!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewdrew:
Hmm I just received my nexus yesterday(replacing hd2).... after using it loving it so far. :)

But in hindsight I should have read this thread. Doh! >_<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firewalker551:
Welcome on board my friend. GNexus still a great device over a year. All those guys who've told you about your "failed" decision,because N4 has more cores and blah-blah-blah,nothing more like a hardware geeks. They cannot see a beautiful design of GNexus. Galaxy Nexus is still a very sexy and powerful player at the market right now. And I'm sure it will kick assess until 2014 as minimum. One more time , congratulations and welcome on board.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexcinci:
I got mine a week ago. :)

Came from nexus S. Loving it

N4 is king of difficult to get here in Brasil :( they saying that possibly LG might bring ... there is an issue with nexus name down here. Gnex
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
Well, I'm coming from the note 1 and the difference is like night and day! Aside from the beastly specs, the feel is just so incredible! ! But this isnt a thread about all the things you love about the phone, it's about what you don't. I'll start.

PLEASE DONT MENTION MULTIWINDOW. I'M PISSED OFF TO.

Not a fan of the amount of time it takes to turn on when you press the power button, meaning wake up time...

I'M OUT!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eccoodamo:
My biggest issue with the Note 2 is that it keeps me from doing real work or wanting to see my family or shave or take a bath or sleep. I should be sleeping now but guess what i am doing, tweaking the layout, testing apps that never really worked on older phones. Aahhhhhhh, see my frustration?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
;) Which apps do you mean if you dont mind my asking?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshgnex:
lol interesting thread - i've had my note for a total of 2.5 hours so far (side by side with my S3) and i've got to say (having used the original note) the overall feel is nice, very rounded, a bit slippery perhaps (nothing a skin cant fix)

the pen still feels lighter than i'd like and the button is a bit more recessed than i'd like

the home button is awesome and much more responsive than my stock s3

a similar complaint to my s3 but when grabbing the device from the bottom edge, i have a tendency to tap the menu / back buttons on accident, a bit annoying when not using a case

the glass is nice, the feel of the pen on the screen is much more controlled than the original

nfc, yay! google wallet downloaded, would message ' not compatible' on open and shut itself down... boo..

the volume and home button have a nice confident click and feel compared to the s3 and original note...

i posted my grey'd positive comments in your other thread...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
Man... youre right about the home and volume buttons... i forgot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jyveafk:
Google Wallet not working.

Lack of multi windows.

The pen feels a bit cheap still (loved the feel of the Palm Tungsten metal ones that were telescopic). Though fixable as I think I'll get a dual use pen/pointer to keep in pocket/briefcase, I'm a fairly large bloke too, so having that larger pen will help too, this current one isn't really of a decent size/thickness/weight to use for long periods of time, I think my hand would 'claw' up.

Lack of cases for a while (the official 'flap' one is good, got it at last but was making me twitchy not having it protected. Wish there was a good/cheap pouch type case to slide it in for extra protection). And/or the 'flap' phone case, the front of it, the actual flap, is wonderful to touch, but the back is the same uber slippery plastic that the default one is. Can NFC not be done through a very slightly thicker case with a built in rubberised coasting, as the Nexus7 has? This thing is still very, very slick, and I can see with slightly sweaty hands, I'll need to be extra careful.

The built in Samsung Keyboard (that is SO incredibly good with the Swype/cool T9 like swype functionalty/left/right handed), but doesn't scale to other resolutions if you tweak the lcd dpi. REALLY a great keyboard, please make it scale! No, best keyboard I've ever used, and it's keeping me from tweaking the dpi.

The knowledge that when I do inevitably flash CM on this, I'll probably end up losing TMobile wifi calling, that for me, is working wonderfully.

Touch wiz is mildly... odd. But not as bad as seen before, JB's ability to disable things is really helping. But what annoys me somewhat is the different functionality for no other reason than to do it different it appears, and needing a few extra apps (like the photo editor) downloaded when built in apps rely on it.

Oh, no 32mb NII's in TMobile, and so much of the 16GB filled with Bloatware (steady Cyanogenmod, steady... your day will come).

So, all pretty minor (hopefully constructive) criticisms. Overall, still mad impressed with this phone. All phones should have the option to have it work with a stylus as well integrated as this.

If I had the chance to order things to be fixed;

Wifi Calling for Tmobile as an installable app so I'd be less twitchy about flashing with other roms.

Rubberised back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
My personal gripe, is about how much my GN2 looks and feels like an iPhone. In everyway, from the straight lines, to the rounded corners, and don't get me started with the app drawer. The smoothness of page transitions, Google Now.

OK.. I was just kidding guys! LOL.

My real gripes -

1 the on/off button on the exact opposite side of the device as the volume rocker. They should have put it up on top.

2 No dedicated camera button.

3 I always loved scrollable wallpaper, which I feel I shouldn't need to root, and re-rom for it.

4 No auto spell correct from the stock Samsung keyboard.

5 Oh yeah, NO F@#$KING MULTI-SCREEN. - sorry, had to get that one in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xpprofessional1:
you made my morning hahahahahaha.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfpack612:
yea i wish the power button was on top too but i rarely use it.

dedicated camera button would've been cool.

having a hard time buying a case/cover, don't want it looking too enormous.

either way loving my note 2'
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psn1819:
The fact that we cant flash n7100 roms lol...its crazy that it so similar to the t889 yet be so polar!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kawaisa:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidchunks:
Only gripe is the call volume being a bit on the low side even when maxed. Speaker is loud enough though.

I'm sure they're apks to tweak it a bit but I'm too busy enjoying the phone so i'll search for a fix later. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakebake:
Somerhing for me is the screen keeps timing our evn with the option checked to see my eyes... also when it goes out and I press home button it goes home instead of waking up to the app I was on. Everyother phone did not do this. Is this just me or is there a setting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
I came from the S3, and love everything about my Note 2. I can't say one bad thing about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jawang26:
Size once in a while, I'm 5'7 so I guess that means I have smaller hands? For the most part I dont have an issue but some times my hand gets fatigued from using it too much...Not complaining but sometimes I wish they kept the 5.3 and made it narrower it'd be perfect for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jerry D:
I don't like that we can't use our S-Pen on our soft keys. It would be great to be able to hit the menu and back buttons with the pen and have them respond.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] FIREONHIGH:
i dont like the physical home button,but not enough to keep me from buying it, i think next year it will be all cap.buttons.oh well i'll get it when its available:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bbobarino:
What do you guys mean when u say no multi windows ? I have a gs3 and really weighing if is worth getting the note 2 or sticking with the gs3 or the nexus 4 but thats another story

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] washjayb:
New to T-Mobile. The splash and down animations installed stock are embarrassing.

Also pissed that the baddest phone out has no accessories in stores.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] turtle13:
I am really starting to dislike how the stock music player behaves even streaming through Bluetooth. All of the "artist/album" buttons disappear, and am left with all tracks listed in alphabetical order.

Of course if I use a different media player, my car still defaults connection to the stock player...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] playaction:
Love this phone!!!

I don't like the placement of the volume buttons. When holding the phone in landscape really gets in the way.

Also, as someone else said - don't like not being able to use s pen on back and menu soft keys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] diego1985:
Yeah really mad at the fact otterbox has a case for the ipad mini that came out after the n2 and our phone is still saying coming soon.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psn1819:
Touchwiz or nature is ok in small doses but its getting a little tired
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:
Somewhat agree.

The only think I don't like about the device really are two features that made me want to buy the device is missing currently.

Multi-Window(coming soon), and screen recorder(no one knows).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] egorre:
Well at first I really hate the wake up feature when home button is pressed. But with my new wallet/case, i insta loved it. And I'm sure you can turn that feature off somewhere right?

Last thing is the multi window feature. WHERE. IS. IT?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Physical home button. Not that it's easy to use this phone one handed, but when you try to it's virtually impossible to be able to press the home button without having to adjust your grip on the phone to avoid dropping it. Even when using two hand, I'm used to the simply and soft touch of the capacitive buttons that when I press the home button I need to press it twice as the first touch isn't hard enough.

Length. It's slightly, slightly too long for me. I have this neat holder in my car that stores phones in landscape, and the Note 2 is just a few mm to o long, it's also slightly too wide to fit in the cupholder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
yeah i have problems like these as im also used to the gs1's soft touch buttons. loved it. I hope to fix that once I buy the bodyglove skin as it should help with the grip issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmathis:
I wish that the menu and back buttons would work with the S pen. I'd say that so far, that's the only thing that I really don't like about it.

Oh yeah, the OBNOXIOUS T-mobile startup and shutdown jingles are the absolutely most horrendous sounds on the planet. You'd think that after hearing the same BAD jingle for all this time I'd be used to it, but hearing it again just reminds me of the initial reason that I rooted my last phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamtimmah:
Let me start by saying that I love this phone. But here are my gripes:

When I pull out the S-Pen, I don't want my phone to unlock. With my Spen out already, I like being able to double tap to write a quick note, and would rather do it on the lock screen.

Slow wake up. Sure its a second, but this phone should be able to unlock with just me thinking about it.

Also it keeps turning the screen on for no reason. I have no idea why, but it's becoming a battery killer.

I miss the quick gestures from the first note. A simple swipe to the left to go back, etc.

I also miss the extra button on the Spen. I used a note app that would allow me to press the second button for the eraser. And now the app doesn't work at all with the Note 2.

I also miss S-Memo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rahilkalim:
Same here. Just got used to using the gestures using the S-Pen for menu and back. there is a tutorial on using the S-pen gestures in settings > S Pen > S Pen Help > Gestures. (really quite useful.)

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

The gestures still exist for the note 2. Just slightly changed. Hold the S Pen button down and make the less than symbol "<" to go back, and the "^" symbol for menu.

As posted above, there is a tutorial on using the S-pen gestures in settings > S Pen > S Pen Help > Gesture

Hope this helps.

Lots of talk about a dedicated camera button.

Wish there was a way to make the power button a dedicated camera button if the device is off. Push that and it foes to camera. Or in Camera it becomes a dedicated button, but only in camera

Anyone know how to do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamtimmah:
I'm being stubborn and refusing to use the new gesutres. They're less convenient than the old ones, and pressing the button on the new spen is a pain. It's recessed to the point of annoyance when trying to use it.
