Tasks updated kernel has been smooth. I'm running his newest now, flashes it a few hours ago and love it. The devs for the S3 are wonderful. So many more options than other android phones I've had in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dvoraak:
If I'm reading right, OP is disappointed in AOKP and Task's AOKP.... and hasn't tried them yet?

It takes me longer to download a ROM than it does to flash it, restore data and check out all the main features for functionallity..... and you're calling them out by name without trying them?

Gutsy move.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KeeperOfThePizza:
Nothing wrong with AOKP and we have a fantastic aosp community. They seem to be more active then the original development. If anything I'm disappointed with the lack of touchwiz ROMs. All and all. We have a good community and a good group of developers here. /end thread.

3rd party ROMs are always works in progress. its not like anyone here is hiding the fact that these are all "in development". not all ROMs are "for" everyone, but that's the beauty of it, there's a flavor for everyone.

I personally prefer ROMs that are subtle improvements to the stock experience which give me a more enhanced version of what Samsung intended. BUT, there are times I'll think about getting a nexus 4, so I'll run a aosp/cm/aokp based ROM while scratching that itch. or those days I wished I had a note 2, we've got options with multi window and page buddy fully working.

if you don't like it, don't use it... simple as that. I've never critisized a ROM or developer if I don't "get" their work, that just means its not a good fit for me and I move on.

Task and his minions bashing another nice guy stating his appreciation...... Big surprise.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Huh?

1.) Looks as though you forgot something as simple as reading. Read my post again. If you consider any of that one post as bashing then I think you might need to check the emotional state you are in at the time that you read it.

2.) You're definitely not reading the OP. He pretty much stated that he hasn't even tried the ROM before judging it. That right there speaks for itself.

3.) Please do yourself a favor and grow up a little. Stirring up the pot with the highschool antics doesnt accomplish anything.

4.) Gold stars for you dude. Keep on contributing this wasteful drama here in a development site. That makes a ton of sense. ;)

It seems as though you have a lack of understanding of what a development thread is. That's fine. But either way. You should really try your best to show some tact when posting. You're acting really childish for no reason at all other than you either know I'm right, or I hurt you feelings. Please try to control yourself. It will work out better for you if you can do that. :D

When I first started on xda, I did CM roms ONLY! hated tw roms, but for 2 years over and over, it did one thing, they continuously had issues with drop calls, I can put up with bugs on alot of roms, but this one bug was major, and it drove me crazy, wife would blame me for hanging up on her everytime, got tired of that crap and went to TW again, been there since. the nightlies would fix it, and 2 days later...bam it was there again, and this happen on all of them.

My opinion only, let the bashing begin.

For me, it's how if I press a navbar key while an app is lagging, it registers as a long press. Since I have my navbar super modded out with custom long press functions, it causes my phone to do random unintended things!

Wish the camera was quicker in capturing unexpected moments. No matter what ROM is installed, it's just not fast enough. I'm speaking about time from picking up the phone, unlocking it, launching the camera app, and then taking a picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
If you use the stock lock screen, just swipe from right to left. That'll launch the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
I've reverted from the latest 4.2.2 jelly bean ROMs (primarily MMuzzy) back to 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich, because I was getting horrible battery life. Back on ICS I'm getting almost a day of battery life with 2-4 hours onscreen time, and because of that odd backwards switch I lost that ability with the camera. Even then, there was still some lag getting the camera app running, and then it took a while to focus on the subject you were trying to capture.

Good suggestion to anyone who didn't know about that, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Probably the fact that I can't seem to find a good GLASS screen protector for it that will fit with my otterbox commuter case and that won't start to peel up after a few months.

Besides that with the phone itself....the radios. I've owned low end android devices with specs much worse than this phone and I always had better reception.

Oh and the USB port. Just got a insurance replacement and it has USB issues off the bat. Dealing with it as long as I can because I'm hearing asurion no longer offers the 32gb nexus. :(

Waiting for the next one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Let's see, I hate 4.2.2, its buggy and the lock screen widgets are slow. The battery life sucks, the camera sucks in anything but sunlight. Besides that, I guess I'll be able to put up with it for another couple months, already had it for a year and 5 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
It's a 16gb version. That's the only difference. There was a thread somewhere in these forums about it not too long ago. Someone got an asurion replacement and found out it was only 16gb and when he called they said that's what they had now....found it kinda odd because I just got a 32gb version from them maybe 4 days before the thread popped up. If you search you can find it I'm sure, but I'm getting ready to flash a ROM:thumbup: One of my favorite things about having a nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Battery life but I'm sure every android has that problem , except droid RAZR
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcs.computergeek:
Agree the radios are terrible. When going to a different town I have to data toggle once I get to my destination. Which is lame but I've just lived with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Oh yeah I forgot how ****ty the radios are. This goes hand in hand with battery life, my school is practically a dead spot on the lower level with my nexus while other phone have no problem maintaining signal. The crap signal slaughters my battery, literally drops like 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fr4nk1yn:
My biggest frustration was I bought a Droid DNA.

The developers are the same bunch that's been great with the gnex.

Frustration is an understatement. (I'm saving my real rants).

Re: SODs!

Me, too! I consider them SODs, and usually have to pull the battery and reboot. I've been on Purity 4.4 (android 4.2.1) with AK Purity 021 kernel for at least 6 months, and this near-daily SOD behavior just started a few weeks ago. I'm hesitant to move to android 4.2.2. though, for many of the reasons noted in this thread. I do like the GNex very much, though, and I'm going to stick with it for another 8-12 months before seeing what else is available at that time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
I don't think that's the same issue. I have also seen the problem Badger51 is talking about, but it has never required pulling my battery. I've never required more than an additional 1 or 2 pushes to turn on the device. If your phone is not waking up at all that is a much more severe issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icexx7:
the gps

the gps just drives me insane on this phone. my motorola phones all found gps almost immediately. Gnex takes about 10 minutes if even.

After just upgrading my phone to a note2, I can safely say it is battery life. The battery life on the note is marginally better. Other than that, I did like my nexus a decent bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bama17:
Battery life!...by far the worst thing about the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npainter7:
I too just upgraded to the Note 2 from the Gnex. And all I have to say is I am super pleased with the battery life on the Note 2. Its amazing!!!! Before my Note, I never knew what it was like to go a full day without worrying about finding a charger or crap my phone is dying. Its great not feeling that way anymore. The Gnex really, is a great device. But sheesh I was barely pushing just a little over 2 hours screen on time and thats mostly on wifi AND with an Acer 2100 mah extended battery. I know thats not much extra juice but seriously I hated having to constantly look at my battery percentage drop like crazy. My life is much simpler now lol. Thanks to my beast Note 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
Battery life undoubtedly. Its getting to the point where it feels like Samsung just CBA making this phone properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
As it has been said, the battery life is brutal for me aswell. Barely hit 2:20 screen time even with Greenify hibernating pretty much every app... Speaking of battery life, I recently went to a mall where Samsung was advertising the S4. I asked the guy to show me his battery stats from his personal phone and he told me has been on LTE/100% brightness the whole time. He was at 46% battery left with 2:45 screen time. While my nexus was at 31% with 1:25 screen on time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
Well I don't have battery issues, just yesterday I had a little over 3 hours display time after 22 hours on a charge, and since I charge when I sleep I never have problems. Most frustrating thing for me is I couldn't justify getting a nexus 4 while my g'nex is still doing everything I ask of it without a hitch. By the time the next nexus is released I'll of had my g'nex for a year and a half, so I'll be able to upgrade feeling like I got my moneys worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
Yup, same here. The battery is f*cking atrocious on these things. If I forget to plug it in while I'm at my desk in office, it is guaranteed to be dead by bed time. Usually 2-2.5 hours screen on time. Absolutely horrid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plznote:
Battery Life and camera. God. I barely get 2 hours screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangj0:
1. Poor battery life

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haziqmck7:
another thing for my gnex is that the screen has a small blotches...appears only in the dark
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npainter7:
I noticed that too as well on my gnex when I had it. It had a couple weird extra dark blotches that would only show on a dark screen. Kinda weird

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeremysoftbeard:
Battery life for sure. I'm lucky if I still have a phone in the afternoon when I leave for the morning. My original battery is useless.

Next would have to be the radios. I consistently have worse signal than people on the same network in the same spot but with different phones. Even phones that are over a year older than mine.

Lastly would be the build quality. It creaks and squeaks every time I touch it and the screen scratches if I so much as look at it the wrong way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
Battery life for sure and radios, can't get enough signal in places that my friends have no problems.

Luckily, I just sold my gnex today and bought an s3 garnet red to a friend. It's a whole new world, speed and battery are no problems anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djexacto:
Wifi sleep issues for me. If I have the Wifi on and leave my phone for 10 minutes, when I wake it up the Wifi is completely off. Now on my 3rd 4.2.2 ROM and probably 5th kernel, and still have the problem. No combination of Wifi sleep or optimization settings make a difference.

This means I miss push notifications, downloads stop, etc. I have to remember to turn off Wifi every time I'm done using my phone for a few minutes.

This is so frustrating and the number one reason I will be replacing my gnex very soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vigges666:
The most frustrating thing on my GNex is the Display itself.

I like it, but outside while a sunny day, i can't use my Gnex because i can't see very much (with 100% Brightness).

My Batterielife is okay.

I wonder why people are comparing the batterylife with their buyed Note 2's. The battery of it is nearly as big as a Gnex and has more power. So it's just logical that the Batterylife should be better. (i know... it has a bigger screen etc... but still...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Muvolt:
Gesture lag with every launcher... no matter how small the lag it is in some roms...there is signifigant lag when you move your finger to change a screen etc...you can see this if you rapidly move your finger back and forth (for a short distance) at the homescreen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
definetely not a 4.2.2 issue, flash another rom and see how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
GPS fix issues (any ROM or kernel you could imagine), although I would eventually get a lock. Besides that, performance. This phone just started to lag after a while, and ultimately the processor innovations over the last year have produced phones that make the venerable Nexus look, well, ancient (least of all the Nexus 4, which had the benefit of removing the slightly textured whites). Never really had huge battery issues though, and still a great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Just tried my GPS after hearing all these issues. Locks in a matter of a couple seconds on AOKP 4.1.2 Milestone. In fact my GPS is working pretty damn awesome on this rom.

I certainly recall it not working on some roms, but I'll be damned if I could remember which ones.

My biggest issue would have to be the screen. It looks like there is a texture on the whites when the brightness is anything below max. I can deal with the low volumes, and almost every other issue listed here, but the low quality screen and blatant lack of QC on the issue makes it the most frustrating feature.

I was very lucky with my first GNex, but it was plagued by the dreaded signal drop issue (Verizon). The screen was flawless, but dropping all signal (Wi-Fi and cell) caused me to send it in for a replacement and I instantly noticed the difference in quality.

Oh well, I'm waiting for the next Nexus so I can drop Verizon and go GSM. Only 5 more months!
