[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
Just use tango or Skype and there are no cell data restrictions like with face time. My wife and I use tango because our kids love these little screen animations that you can invoke during a chat.

To the OP:

I'm right there with you, I was an apple fan boy bad... All the iphones up through the 4s, macbooks, apple TVs, ect... Until my wife's iPhone broke out of warranty and we didn't what to dish out the cash for a new one. So I got her a vivid and she loved it. I started playing with it and though I wasn't a fan of sense, I liked it more than iOS, so I made the switch too. Rooted the *****, got rid of sense and it's great. Bought a N7 and now have a N4 on order!

I just got tired of being locked in jail with apple... It was a nice and comfortable jail, but still jail...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrondroid:
I had the iPhone 4 for 2 years before purchasing an S3 which i recently sold for the N4.

First of all iOS is not a true mulitasking operating system which was a deal breaker for me in terms of getting a 4S or waiting for the iphone 5. I decided Android was the way to go and I haven't looked back. In fact now when I attempt to use an iphone it is incredibly frustrating. Just changing the screen brightness is damn frustrating not to mention all the widgets I use constantly that simply don't exist. iPhones are just a waste of time.

The S3 had a lot of postitives going for it but the multitasking "hold the home button" for 2 seconds thing drove me crazy. A single design flaw that drove me to sell it. I couldn't be happier with my Nexus 4. I average about the same in terms of battery life and vanilla JB 4.2 is nice and clean / easy to use.

You won't regret it pal!

This is wrong. You do not lose access to the AppStore, and your security is no more compromised than a rooted android device. Jailbreaking is easier than rooting, simply because of the hardware being so similar across all iOS devices. I looking to root my Nexus 4 now, and have to relearn a few things and read a lot of posts to make certain I'm doing the right thing (coming from an SGS2). Stability is exactly the same, it will only get worse if you install new themes or winterboard etc., similar to Android when you install hacky roms.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argenist:
Not even close...

Not everyone that uses an Android Phone has GTalk activate or has it to push to their phones. I have far more friends with iPhones so iMessages worked flawlessly out of the box. iMessages works off of your current phone number so no switching no having to create accounts or any of that. This is the one main benefit to iMessages.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1111:
So its similar to viber, whatsapp, and facebook messenger except that it is limited to iOS users?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argenist:
No it's not.. every program you mentioned requires you to download the app and have it installed, including facebook.

iMessages works off the phone's internal messaging app, so all your txts are pushed to one place and to actual phone numbers not an online screen name that you either have to sign into or sign up for.

So if I text you at xxx-xxx-xxxx and they have an iphone then it will automatically be passed through either cellular or wifi. if you're on an android then the iphone will simply treat it as a text message. no downloading and running a separate app.

This is what makes iMessages far better than any downloadable app for Android. And I'm not a fanboy either, as I have an N4 but to date I have not found anything remotely close to iMessages in how it can push to a cellular phone number via the native messaging application. And trust me I've looked. No I am not going to try and grab my number of ATT to try and register it as a google number. This is far too much hassle as I am under contract.

I don't want to run 3-4 different apps that either x doesn't have or y doesn't want to download..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morejaylesswar:
I'm with you on that. I love iMessaging. I send a lot of group messages to my friends regarding things that involve our studio business. It's nice to have all of them reply in one message (because they all have iPhones, well most of them do.) I have one Android user in my group and he says that he gets all of the messages separate, so he can't really participate in the conversation. I'm certain that annoys him.

iMessage is a godsend, but not enough to keep me with iOS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The simplest way to put this is that Android was made with developers in mind as to where IOS was made with simple users in mind.

I wont come back to iOS again (but I like mac :D)

I jailbreak,root,apply custom roms to every phone that I have.

I love jailbreaking(NOT REDUCE PHONE QUALITY) but its much better to use android.

---NOW I AM FULLY STEPPED UP TO ANDROID---

But I prefer iOS5.1.1(best iOS ever) over android 1.5-3.2

I prefer android 4.0-4.2.1 Over iOS 5.1.1

EDiT:do you know that android 1.5-3.2 is laggy than ios because other os is performing hardware>>software>>user

But android hardware>>virtual machine>>software>>user

So it take time to proscess anything

And 2nd reason is android can recive input from anything{touch,hw keyboard,trackpad and moree)

So android is 3X laggy than usual

Thats why iOS that use only 1GHz single core faster than 1.5GHz android dual core

When project butter came that haeven!! 3X faster than 4.0 so now it spec by spec not spec by1/3 spec.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big samm:
I had all the iphones except for the first one... I hated android with a passion until i got my hands on the Galaxy Nexus, that really was the first android phone that wow me... I had the captivate, the milestone, note 1, hated them all because of the skins the manufacturer put on their devices. The Nexus line is pure and i fell in love with it. With project butter , jelly bean, google now, i can say google really stepped their game up. I still have my 4s and 5 but i always come back to my nexus devices. The nexus 4 is on par with the iphone, i don't think you'll regret it. Its a awesome device and i love it!! Hope you do to!

Here is what I miss on Nexus/Android:

1.) No direct device backup/restore option to computer.

2.) Lack of necessary features in Email client...

a.) Can't edit quoted text in replies OR forwards.

b.) Can't change outgoing account in replies and forwards.

c.) Speech commands to email someone defaults to initial Gmail account (with no way to change it).

3.) Handsfree dialing over bluetooth is horribly broken.

4.) Garageband, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, Bento, iMovie. Simply no good alternatives for these apps on Android.

5.) Airplay mirroring.

6.) While Jelly Bean is for the most part very stable, I miss how smoothly everything worked on iOS. I run into too many rough edges on Android (the latest ones are some bluetooth connectivity issues that sometimes require rebooting the phone, and just finding out the app for editing videos on the phone is unusably buggy).

Note that you did not ask about what Android does better (and there is plenty of that as well), so I won't go into that.

HTH
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
i used an iphone from 07-00 and was hesitant to leave as i waited for android to play catch up. the iphone is just played out, and does less and cost more. everyone in this thread complaining about little things here and there should just go back to your iphone. your arguements are not valid, you are asking one OS to be more like another, and that is just not the case.

lack of necessary features in email client, like edit quoted text? can't change outgoing account when replying for a single account? complaining that speech commands default to gmail? handsfree dialing over bluetooth? and a handful of garbageband apps that i would never use on a daily.

for anyone that has used android for the past 3-4 years understands what we have in our hands. this device is hands down the best phone on the market. i have iphones at home, i have ipads, i have a nexus4/nexus7 and they are the only two devices i use. my ipad went to the gf to play pandora, my iphones went to my mom/dad/12yr old little brother. anyone i know that is smart enough to use a real smartphone, gets the nexus 4, everyone else who can't handle a phone that is to smart for them, gets the iphone. case closed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_GTR1:
i love the nexus 4's OS but after a week of owning it i gotta say the hardware used on this phone is pretty crappy mainly refering to the 'phone' part of it, the earpiece audio levels are either too high or too low, i have a constant buzz noise on the earpiece even when not on a call, the back speaker placement is horrendous seriously WTF were they thinking did google rush the phone out this fast that they didnt notice if u place it on a table u cant hear ****, the cameras pretty bad specially video recording, and lastly the phone takes forever to charge im talking 3 hours+ on the stock charger (and the charger sounds like its going to explode when its plugged in w/o the phone connected to it). i know the phone cost 350$ but come on, this is the only phone we can buy that gets day 1 updates which is what enticed me to get it over the SG3 and im sure that phone doesnt have any of these problems. /end rant :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argenist:
-Audio level on my phone, while lower than my iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5, has stayed consistent... sounds like a defect on your phone.

-I have no constant buzzing on call or not.... sounds like a defect on your phone.

-Did you not know about the back speaker BEFORE you bought the phone? lol.. it's bad placement but you still bought it haha.

-I do agree that the iPhone 5 does charge significantly faster than the N4. Wall charging is pretty quick though on the N4

-Charging noise... sounds like a defect on your phone.

I would suggest you return your phone and get a new one. More than half of your issues sounds like a defect.

I read about all the CONS about android and how it is available on iPhones.

That's what is so great on Android. Everything can be implemented to that platform and any app can be developed even if it has the word "apple" in it :D

Is there something you miss? You're probably not alone and somebody is probably working on it.

But is there anything on Android that you might miss when moving to iOS? Well, tons.

I'm currently an iphone user and I can't stand it. My Nexus 4 should be here any minute though :good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
I moved from iOS to android 3yrs ago, I've regretted it up until the N4, the N4 is the best android device out right now. Stock jelly bean + good hardware = what google was promising me 3yrs ago.

That being said I'll still be switching to an iphone 5, eventually, I have an ipad right now and I don't in any way feel limited by the OS when compared to my N4 and while I like widgets it isn't the end of the world if I don't have them. My biggest issue with android is it is still late to the game on apps, even today's instagram update is half baked for android, it gets annoying to have [insert new/cool app] on iOS but it either isn't on android or the android version is pared down. Also the camera, I like the HDR feature and it makes low light shots a lot better, but overall it is a poor camera which will hopefully get better through software.

I don't think that is accurate, developers seem to love iOS.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acuity:
I never owned an iPhone, but my day job puts me in an Apple environment. I've worked with thousands of iMacs (and previously eMacs), iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads, MacBooks, etc.

Most of the people who ask me what phone they should get all get pointed to the iPhone. If someone needs to ask, they probably need something very simple that just works, and the iPhone is that device. This isn't to say that it's for simple people only, but it's very user friendly when used exclusively in the Apple ecosystem. There are some other benefits such as call quality, which I think is superior to that of any Android device. But then again, the Phone app on my Nexus is currently one of my most useless apps.

Just about everything else about the iPhone is outdated. The design is outdated, iOS hasn't changed very much since day one and iPhone users are missing out on things such as inductive charging and NFC. Well, not everyone is missing out on those features (most don't even know they exist), but power users are. Android is more of a power user phone for people seeking cutting edge technology. Nexus specifically is for people that want to support a pro-consumer (no contract), open device, open access movement.

I don't think you'll have any issues adapting to Android. Spend a day with it and you'll know the thing inside and out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
I don't think it is fair or accurate to say iOS is outdated. It has changed quite a bit and is still the more elegant code and developer environment between the two. I would agree that it's user interface hasn't changed much, but think that is by design.

I also agree the openness of Nexus is a strong reason to own one, but the power user remark (for most people) is more about having to find workarounds for things that do not work than it is about "cutting edge technology".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
For me the biggest thing I miss from iOS is the notification pull down. Having weather, stock and having social networks status update buttons. if android has these in my opinion. It be my "perfect" OS. There are apps that does it. But its doesn't seem integrated. Seems like someone just slap it there. If you know i mean.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swordstrength:
Having used the iPhone 4 for two years, I know all the way around one. I loved it when I got it. Hell I even help my parents with theirs any time they need it. But just as my second year rolled around, I saw the commercial for the galaxy note. I had to have it, iPhones were beginning to get stale to me and I wanted something more. I was afraid, though, that I would hate it.

When I purchased it, I outright loved it. I rooted it and dove straight into all of the customization options. I was astounded by what I had been missing. I thought it was insane to even be able to control the CPU frequency and governor! I have never looked back to an iPhone since then.

I've now been a phone junkie and have been through the Note, HOX, GNex, and now N4. My last nexus really changed my outlook on android as well. I will never deviate from vanilla android ever again. I love the lack of a manufacturer's custom "skin." Google themselves do it best. The best way for an iPhone user to enjoy android is through a nexus phone.

Not sure what you mean, but I think the N4/JB beats the i4/i5/iOS in terms of notifications.

When I get email my phone flashes a white LED notifying me that I've gotten an email. Blue if I have a FB status notification.. and I don't even have to turn the display on. When I do there's a listing of all the current activity such as what emails came in and who wrote on my wall. Best of all these are instantly pushed, not like mail app where I either have to go into the program or set the refresh to some stupid amount.

I have weather on the lock screen so I don't need another one on the notification bar.

There is nothing I miss about the iOS notification center. In fact I hated how you couldn't control what programs were allowed to notify you of anything. The stocks thing was useless to me, may be useful for you or others though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
Like that. I personally like that setup better, "Tap to tweet/post" is super cool. If such thing can be incorporated into the "quick toggles" page(notifications) on 4.2.1 that be amazing.

But I definitely say that Nexus with the led notification light beats the iOS notifications hands down.

But I guess you can't always have what you want lol.

don't kid yourself buddy. my statement is fair and true. just because apple fanboys don't know what to compare their devices to doesn't mean us android fans don't know what we are talking about. i had an iphone for a long long time, i never even bought a 3gs/4/4s/5 because it was the same thing every year, slightly faster. that's pathetic. when my mom asked me what kind of phone my little brother at age 12 should get, i said the iphone. yes i could have mentioned the N4 as i feel its pretty stupid proof, but the iphone just works and won't confuse him. hence the reason i said, anyone i know that is smart enough for a real smart phone, gets an android. my parents? iphones.. if knowing what device is for what person in my family regardless of it being an iphone/android makes me a android fanboy that is the reason android didn't get better sooner, then so be it.
