I can see why that makes sense but it has not been my experience: I travel between Trinidad and Florida frequently and use my GSM on bmobile, Digicel and AT&T and I only notice dropped calls on AT&T during normal usage. However, when the Trinidad networks are overloaded due to some landline disruption or electricity blackout (causing the bored to feel the need to chat about it), then the cellular networks are problematic. Therefore I suspect the main reason for dropped calls is network-related.

I do not think that the device being manufactured two years ago is relevant as the GSM technology and bands have been developed and successfully implemented (including by Samsung for some time) and used for ~20 years. HSDPA and other data-related advances are of course more recent.

I also flash custom ROMs and have not experienced any unusually and noteworthy higher dropout rates from my other devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
What's the issue?

No complaints with Bell, everything works as it should. I often get trapped into 20 minute calls.. always clear and drop free. Data speeds seem just fine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Touché :P

Yeah I guess I just meant in comparison to the N4 hardware I should have specified. Didn't mean to 'bash' the device or come off as a 'jerk' was just throwing in my input, great information though!

Edit - still prefer this device over my s2.

Just data drops and call fails, I fixed it for a while with a different radio but then switched carriers (from Virgin to rogers, then to wind.) I do experience brutal battery drain when on data and it would make sense with wind, at least where I am located.

the camera coule be a little quicker when I wanna make a quickshot. but I wouldnt call that frustrating :))

other than that, I am very happy with my galaxy nexus. nothing to complain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CheesieOnion:
That it won't connect to my home network when I set Wifi to B/G/N mixed and thus holding the internet speed of my laptop back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sof006:
It gets hot, the touch screen doesn't respond sometimes... It electrocutes me on occasion. It sometimes reboots itself (no matter which kernel/ROM I use).

Can't wait to get my new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] margaretiak:
Have to trimm after few days to get back my lovely speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSprinkles:
The fact that it's a POS and built VERY poorly. Never should have upgraded from my S2. After replacement 9 for me and 8 for my fiancee, VZW is sending a couple S3's. Hopefully they're built better. Considering this was THE device to get and somehow pretty much still is, I was extremely disappointed. She just isn't cutting it :(

affirmative....!!!!

Iphone has always been keen with its look. Gnex designers should have designed it more attractive using glass or metal finish. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] txesin:
1) gorilla glass

2) external sd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Metal finish like iPhone 5 on the back, best thing apple did was to get rid of the glass backing that iPhone 4 an 4S had, an its heaps lighter, I hope to god the next nexus isn't plastic an has a better loud speaker and is capable to use both 3g an 4g networks like iPhone 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
the screen is starting to show its age. i have had the phone for about 14 months now. so i get the burn in from the nav/status bar. also the "grainey-ness" of the screen is bothering me.

it is a little slow opening up apps lately....not sure why, but like Youtube and Google Now take a good 5 seconds to load....even on strong LTE signals.

battery life. its better than it was, but still not great. thankfully i LIVE next to chargers pretty much all day so its no biggie for me...but for others i could see the problems there.

anything else is just great. love the phone still. i just think it is getting old. it is about 4 generations of processors behind and the 1GB ram isn't helping either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I feel more or less the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
My biggest annoyance is that it just barely has enough memory for Chrome. Whenever I use more than a couple tabs in my browser the launcher and many other things need to restart when I switch back to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
That it gets laggy after sometime of being on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordache16:
Same here. I started to notice this maybe a month or two ago where after the phone has been on for a while it will sometimes start to lag really bad, almost like it is constantly doing something in the background, making the whole thing slow down. Usually when this happens the phone gets hot, even when on a charger. Restarting the phone usually fixes things and brings it back to life but the lag and having to restart the phone is a bit of an annoyance. This only happens maybe a couple times a week but I would say this is the only thing that truly frustrates me about this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adamus-Prime:
how properly the signal, 2g, lte tiles and how to properly use them... (when i had my mobile data engaged along side the 2g tile engaged and Pow!!! I was getting 4g late. Could someone clear this up a bit for me?

Sprint toroplus - atom v13 - skl200

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lbenkw03:
1. 5MP Camera is really bad, bad, bad...... (a common problem in the nexus series? :lol )

2. the super amoled screen is getting worse with time,... ( burn-in...)

3. Super draining battery life!!!!!!

4. laggy during scrolling and transition after turning on the gnex for a long time....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
download tasker or something similar and set up a reboot profile. i have mine reboot every night at 3am. i know what you are talking abou though....its the reason i created the profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
The bloody screen..... I've had 4 different gnex phones and all the screens either have burn in issues or have a bad yellow tint
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Some ROMS started to adress to this! CM found out it's a systemUI memory leak ... And they made a fix for it already ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Nope. The low fps scrolling is not caused by system ui mem leak and this fix simply doesn't work. Every 4.2.2 based rom suffers of that lag, and there's no fix to that so far. Sooner of later lag comes back.

Except horizontal banding and shadows....I must mention constant wifi problems when screen is off. It's extremely annoying especially when you download big files. It doesn't matter if you set keep wifi always on or uncheck wifi optimizing...wifi performance remains utterly poor on standby. I noticed the same even on 4.1.2. In such situations I am really grateful for custom kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] budmannxx:
battery life, even with the extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimb9:
the lack of oem accessories is probably the one that annoys me the most. coming from a droid incredible which had no accessory support from htc thought this would be a bit better. of course its a problem with all nexus devices and more so with the verizon version of the nexus. its all good though, was atleast able to get a landscape dock with pogos and did the lighter trick with it... works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncinerate:
Well, lets see...

Most annoying things about my gnex:

1: It's 3g operates slower than other phones on the same network (my wife's iphone 5 surfs -significantly- faster). I'm in an area without 4g lte, so I'm stuck with 3g. I might fiddle with radios to see if I can solve this but everything I hear is the galaxy nexus's 3g radios are just plain ****ty no matter what you do. 3g works, it just doesn't work nearly as well as it should, confirmed by EVERY phone I put next to it (same carrier, significantly faster browsing). Various different OS installs haven't changed this fact. Since my phone is largely a wifi hotspot for my tablet/laptop the majority of the time, this is a big deal. It's also my fault. I let someone talk me into sticking with Sprint as a couple 4g towers came online near me. It was glorious, for about a month. When it died on the vine and they shut those towers back down with a "we don't know when we'll get 4g in your area", I was left with empty promises and ****ty service. I'd be far less unhappy if the 3g worked as well as it should. Ahh well.

2: Crappy speakerphone.

3: Crappy camera/video camera.

And the things I like:

1: Hacked palm touchstone charger setup (I never plug in my phone, and I like that - just plop it down at home or the office and I'm golden). Between this and 2x battery I've never had any issues keeping her charged up and running.

2: Screen (I must have gotten a good one, it still looks quite beautiful and it's big-enough once I went to PIE and got rid of the stupid software buttons).

Honestly though, the likes are almost all due to things I've done, and the negatives are starting to seriously weigh on me. I get the feeling a new phone with a carrier that actually offers a 4g connection in my area is in my pretty immediate future.

Outside of the connection though, it's pretty much all good. I don't feel like the phone really lacks in capability or speed at running any app I throw at it. It's been an OK phone, but nowhere near a "dream" device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
I was talking about a kind of lag where, when you press your back button it usually registers like ... 5 secs afterwards, oppening apps takes like 5 - 10 secs, and those sorts of things ..: THAT is systemUI memory leak ... And it's being fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Then forgive misunderstanding :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tydy:
I was upset about the battery until I bought extras now carrying something smaller than a wallet fits anywhere is like nothing for me.

But my biggest frustration is lack of external SD card. I love having lots of stuff on my phone and my space is about to be full.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VR6slammage:
Easily the battery life and radio performance. My Bionic easily bested this phone in both categories.. It obviously loses in the fun category though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Febryan_Uchiha:
1. Screen, got yellow tint and burn-in in statusbar and navbar

2. No sd card slot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Speaker is pathetic, horrible design an grey plastic, 16gb storage is ok for apps an custom roms but don't even think about using it to store music,movies or large games as it doesn't have the storage space unless you just stream everything from online servers, camera is painfully slow when taking multiple still shots, i still prefer the galaxy s2 to the gnex, only good thing about gnex is the official updates from google an large selection of custom roms an kernels but really there's only 2 types aosp or cm based roms an they are all basically identical with a different name or boot animation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snsnselaoyeye:
+1 agree with that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drmxmyt:
Bad battery life, low audio volume and low wifi signal.

audio can fix with some tweaks but wifi is really piss me off. how is your wifi strenghts guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omricn:
Camera is horribly slow, and the screen lock animation annoys the hell out of me since JB.. used to turn the screen off instantly, now a whole second will pass until the phone is locked, didn't see this behavior in any other phone. (and yeah I know it's because of the nexus 4).

Battery and damn battery... the only thing that's complete garbage.

On heavy days I drain a 1750 and 2000 OEM battery no problem (and I also use a Nexus 7)

It would have been nice if it had something a little bit faster than an Omap 4, and had DC-HSPA+ radios (I don't care about LTE yet, give it a year or two)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
Damn small length wifi antenna and low sound quality. Even mods can't fix that... Besides taht everything is awesome, I wish there was a case (even if bigger) that cured these problems!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
When I had it, definitely the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Slooooooow gps lock (5 agonizing seconds after it already acquired 7 or 8 sats... Frustrating). It's embarrassing next to my wifes razer hd...obviously a newer phone, but come on, it's gps. Even my old fassy locked faster. I have to plan ahead getting lost (face palm).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androo45:
Sound quality isn't that bad. Ok it's not Nexus S / Galaxy S level but with High Performance audio enable it comes pretty close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tagilso:
1)The radios.

GPS is worse than s2, the wifi strength is ridicolous. Network signal is similar but roaming management is horrible.

2) The screen.

Well known amoled craziness here and there.

Touch sensitivity is not uniform, and it's worse on the lower half where the screen is thicker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I must unfortunately confirm everything you posted. I've totally dropped signal at my gym several times using gnexus. That never happened on my old S2 (i9100). Horizontal banding is getting more and more visible. It's aging pretty badly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qazibasit:
Ya thats why i opt my galaxy note instead of g nex at that time. My device is still as good as young. U people should just atleast trust samsung. Not because of their software but because of their hardware. They reall6 are good at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaliTilt:
For me the most important item is the radio. As you know radio effect battery life.

Second item is the lack of external SD storage. My GNEX is 32 GB but is not enough for music and videos. I have a 15 hour flight later this week and don't have enough space for videos to last me the trip.

Third is the batter life. Currently using a bulky extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The problem your going to face on your 15 hour flight is battery mainly. The battery will barely last for 3 movies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MR H3LLMAN:

Most frustrating thing - bu***t OLED Pentile screen compared to LCD HIPS. But I'm not too upset, i needed extremely low black brightness, because often use phone in the dark.

if they remade this exact same phone with

1. snapdragon 600

2. 2gb of ram

3. a higher resolution camera although im more than happy with the 5mp

other than that the phone is perfect

looking through this thread i see a lot of people having problems that can easily be fixed through software which to me isnt something to complain about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
If they were to remake this phone they should include a 3100mAh battery and call it a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tagilso:
Imho that is not the point. I will stick with same hardware as now but they should remake this phone with a decent ips display, a decent antenna and a decent incall/external speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exnor:
The Oled screen... The tech is not as good as Ips lcd yet... Too fragile and easy to burn the oleds...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannb:
I have two things. One is the display. It's beautiful 720p, but I had terrible burn in after just a couple months of use! I don't think I'll ever go for an AMOLED display again. Second is probably my fault, but my microphone stopped working and now I have to take all my calls on speakerphone. Not sure whether I should just get a Nexus 4 now or see if they announce another phone at I/O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoro33:
1. Battery

2. Camera quality

3. Display
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msg04:
For the most part, I would say the battery is the most frustrating thing.

I can't blame the device itself as I noticed it's Verizon's 4G thats draining the hell out of my battery.

I took off 4G LTE and stuck to 3G for an entire day and only had 40% drained by the end of the day with normal usage.

I'm not sure if its the chip on the device or Verizon's service that could be draining the battery, but I hope they could figure out a better solution in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Welcome to December 2011. It's well known that the LTE chip in the Nexus is an early power hog model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Yep, the sgs3 has much better better drain on LTE than the Galaxy Nexus because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadtrabulsi:
for me,the screen\cover joint....I mean the design of cover that is making a space between cover and screen ,its making small materials to stuck on it.and also its make the cover more sensitive when crashing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
The radio's... Definitely the radio's. At time it makes me want to see how far I can throw this thing... Especially when my wife sits next to me with her iPhone 5 and has reception and mine has nothing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Exactly my problem, at that exact time when I have no signal, I watch my battery drop like a rock....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkclove:
Battery life, sometimes only 1.5 hrs screen on time. Extended battery make it look ugly IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WitchMX:
I Love my Nexus.... I would keep it if I could only update screen. I think it is an awesome phone and the developer community behind it is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LVracerGT:
The only thing that frustrates me about my Nexus is the screen. I noticed I've been getting phantom scratches and recently learned it wasn't built with gorilla glass. Really disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigfoot1942:
Most annoying: how I accidentally activate the screen and by moving i hear the emergency call mode dialing a number, or I notice the Phone running hot, and find out it switched to camera mode. Also, just having the lockscreen activated is annoying since it drains the Phone. Lastly I hate it when I get the Phone out of my pocket to see who's calling only to find out in getting the Phone I answered the call...

And lastly how update 4.2.2 RUINED my bluetooth connection with my car, and how it worked flawlessly on 4.2.1 while everybody else was complaining...

Everything else (quick updates, tweaks etc, screen resolution) about the Phone is great, and taking the price into account it was absolutely a steal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alohaitsdonovan:
I'm curious ,was it 4.2.2 that caused bad battery problems ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
It was 4.2 in general...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alohaitsdonovan:
I just hope they fix it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cnhamm532:
Battery life. No matter how i tweak the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d0ge01:
Battery too

I think the most frustrating thing about my nex is battery life 4.2....

With 4.1.*, in the past i arrive at night with 30% and 3-4 hours screen on

with 4.2.2 now, i arrive at afternoon with 10% with 1-2 hours screen on

After alot of personal test i saw:

GPU switch to ma alot more to max than 4.1

Kernel is more optimized, high freq is set to 700000 and this is perfect, but kernel go to 1200000 too much

Google Apps will more data, and keep alive too much device, Gallery now use more battery than google+ and maps merged!

Mediaserver keep alive our devices for hours and hours due corrupted file and loop bug
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juggaknot77:
This!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Reading through the thread, I was shocked to see so many users complaining about screen banding and tint. Is this still an issue on the GNex? I recently sold mine due to getting frustrated with the poor quality screen. I suffered from the grainy lines, almost like patchwork, over the whole screen. Any solid white/grey background, so basically the whole web, was ruined by this screen defect. I just assumed it was an issue with the early batches, as I got my Nexus on launch day back in 2011.

Anyway, the horrible screen was my biggest frustration, coupled with the poor performance on 4.2. I also had the burn in issue, the bright strips at the top and bottom of the screen from the status and navigation bars. As much as people blame this on AMOLED tech, my launch day Nexus One (January 2010) is perfect, my old S2 is fine and now my Galaxy S3 is also showing no signs of burn in and/or degradation. The GNex was the worst implementation of AMOLED I experienced.

Regards.

More seriously: screen burn in bugs the hell outta me. Looks lame when trying cool stuff like Pies or watching YouTube etc. (and really a justification for my "need" for something new eheh)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartianCeo:
Nothing? I don't have problems with my gnex except that it isn't a N4. I don't have huge battery issues or screen burn issues. Most of the complaints listed here are odd. I almost want to ask did you buy a knock of gnex from craigslist or something.

My phone works fine, it freaks out sometimes due to ROM problems or wrong kernel settings but I cannot blame my phone for user error.

To each their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stead2120:
Me too, I reverted back to 4.0.4 but my main reason was getting my wif hotspot back. I really love this phone and plan on keeping it until a Galaxy Nexus 5G Smartphone comes out on Verizon.
