To solve the Camera Issue, I use Camera Zoom FX and setup Burst Mode, it works pretty quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muhammadbimo1:
The heat. i don't know why but this thing really hot when used for browsing and facebook. Getting 50-55 Degrees. and some reason it keeps switching to 3G even when i'm and tethering.

I'm on replacement number 3 due to burn in issues... Had no problems with my S2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Erratic touchscreen sensitivity issues. When everything is working it's smooth as butter. When it decides to act up it can be a real pill. Seems like an isolated incident though, as I have never seen any other GNex owners mention the problem here on XDA or any of the other forums. Definitely not ROM related because it was present straight out of the box and has been there from 4.1.1. Other than that it's a great phone. No banding or burn in, ridiculously easy to root and a fantastic selection of ROMs. Beats my OG Evo hands down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
After a few days of use. The battery life. But that may come cause the gnex is used and still has the original battery so maybe I should buy a new/bigger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Battery life has been bad from the start, I'm at the point of charging my phone twice a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srsparky32:
I'm not understanding all the problems you guys are having. I'm on purity rom 4.2.2 running rubix kernel. the screen is awesome, the whites dont have a yellowish tint to them and the blacks and colors are deeper and richer. radios..nothing bad about them, battery life is great.

are you guys even flashing kernels to give better battery life, or flashing new radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The thing with the galaxy nexus is it does fine when you have nothing to compare it too. Once you have a comparison, the galaxy nexuses flaws begin to stick out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srsparky32:
you didnt notice my signature then. i'm comparing it to my Droid DNA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
Well I've only got mine a few days ago so I meant this is the only thing I noticed so far. No burn in on my unit. :) and yeah I gotta charge twice a day as well but do have really heavy usage. (Bluetooth headset + music streaming via Wi-Fi/3G + loads of screen on time)

Haven't flashed a new radio so far gonna look into that. Have flashed Franco kernel may need to try another one as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srsparky32:
try rubix kernel and defiently flash the latest radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
Just flashed the kernel, gonna look into the radio's tomorrow, its the most risky thing as far as i can see, and im half asleep so dont really wanna take any chances :P thanks for the tips :) just one more question, can i flash the flashable CWM zips with TWRP as well? Or should i flash CWM first for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srsparky32:
flashing radios is as simple as flashing the zip and rebooting, unless the process has changed since the last time i did it

I would honestly just use the latest version of CWM touch for your phone. TWRP has problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
Okay :), damn this is confusing, i have no idea which radio to pick XD. Any ideas? :$
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
I came to XDA to complain about GNex performance lately, I think this thread is a fine place to put it. Basically, the GNex nowadays is running like crap. 4.2.2, completely stock. Chrome is slow. Chrome is so bloated that when I quit, my home screen ALWAYS redraws. This means a 2-3 second delay after pressing home before even seeing the blank home screen, and then another delay while the icons and widgets reload. Google Hangouts is awful - if I load >1 app after using Hangouts, it will be kicked from memory and have to reload when I get back to it, which takes about FIVE seconds. It's awful. The phone feels like it's 5 years old - it's only 1 year old.

What can I do? I've enjoyed being completely stock for the past year, but at this point I'm open to anything, I want to use and enjoy this phone until the next Nexus comes out. Will CM10.1 alone help? Or do I need custom kernels, etc? Anything to speed up Chrome and other app load times and reduce home screen redraw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
I'm on XXLJ1 ATM BTW. So if anyone knows which one to flash for better battery life but same performance as for Bluetooth and signal (which are great on my phone now) I'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
No offense but if your struggling to see the differences between the nexus and DNA then something must be wrong. The DNA has an LCD screen while the nexus is AMOLED. If you don't see the difference in the reproduction of white colors on the nexus vs. DNA you are either blinded by your passion for the nexus or you're color blind. I prefer the AMOLED screen but whites are more accurate on LCD screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cesc2210:
My proximity sensor bug is very frustrating, on the all call i have press lock button :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
My Nexus never has to redraw the homescreen, not after Chrome or any other app. AOKP 4.2.2 M1 Franco Kernel.

The only Android device I have that has to redraw the homescreen after heavy apps is my watch because it only has 256mb of ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Pathetic battery life on gnex unless you turn data connection off completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Scrolling lag, Bluetooth audio, radio, battery life, uncomfortable to hold, yellowish whites, fragile USB port, that smell behind the battery, low volume...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sendhiloo7:
Low volume and yellowish white :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
That can't be healthy for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronagis:
I have no complaints. Only thing that I dislike about my Gnex is that after 9 months, my USB port is loose and sometimes transferring files and charging doesn't work. I'm also very careful with it. Seems like this happens with every android phone I have ever had except my evo 3D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mephikun:
The smell behind the battery door for sure...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P30SiNa:
Battery is fine for me.

For me, the problem is only with 4.2.2.

I have wifi disconnection problem since 4.2 update. but it was ok on 4.1. I did everything and tried lots of roms and kernel.

and the lags on 4.2.2

I hope they fix everything in 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
Interesting, how many widgets do you have? I have redraw after almost every use of Chrome. Can anyone else speak to their experiences with this? I'm unsure if what I'm experiencing is typical for a stock GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
The junk usb port. On my third Nexus due to failed/broken usb ports. Yeah bending the tongue up sometimes fixes it, but its usually not long after that it completely fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alangrig:
More widgets you have more frequent launcher will redraw. I've 5 pages filled up with widgets and system lags. Especially after returning to homescreen from heavy apps or browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blown 89:
Bluetooth after the last update doesn't pair half the time and the miserable speeds on AT&T (1/2 to 1/3 the speed of Tmobile)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
That's weird, I'm having no issues at all with my USB port and I've had my phone since Dec. 2011. Are you using a different USB cable or the one provided by Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boiker:
A day doesn't go by without my phone getting exceptionally hot. At first, it would get hot while streaming music--data intensive stuff. Now it just gets hot all the time. Performance is TERRIBLE when it gets hot.

This too blah I have to prop my chargers with a marker :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Quite a few, about 10 or so different ones (14 or so if you count repeats). I use TSF shell for my launcher, which some would call bloated, but I've never had issues. I also use live wallpapers and have a call blocker app that runs in the background.

I can open Chrome, G+, Gmail and a few others apps, switch between them, go back to chrome, open a tab and browse to another page, then press home and still no redraw. And no lag while doing any of it. My phone runs just as it should, pain free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
The signal. I have the Verizon LTE version, and even going back to 4.0.4 radios doesn't help. It's mainly an aesthetic thing because even though it may appear that I have "zero bars" I can still make calls, and send SMS. I just wish there was a way to mod the actual antenna to match the signal of an HTC, or Apple phone/device.

Its the last Nexus that Verizon will get, so I need to make this one last forever :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Badger51:
Lag on Waking up Phone

For some time, perhaps since 4.2.2...I have a great deal of difficulty in waking up the phone when the screen is off...I commonly have to press the button several times or for long periods.

It seems to be better when I first update the rom, but after several days, the problem returns.

My phone is rooted and I've tried several different ROMS and kernels without success.:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
I noticed that to, it's annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
Well, I checked running apps under Settings and there was only like 30 MB of RAM free. I rebooted the phone and all of a sudden it's a night and day difference, everything's smooth and fast and no redraws. Wish I did it a long time ago. Free RAM's now somewhere between 250-350 MB. So something had really slowed it down and eaten up some resources for some reason that didn't get cleared until a reboot. I wish I knew what it was or why it happened. How often do you reboot your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Ahh, that might be the difference. I turn my phone off every night, so it essentially gets rebooted daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mephikun:
I don't get your problem... My phone has been on for almost 2 weeks and I have 228 MBs free.

Blueetooth audio for me - crackles like hell so it's virtually unusable. Grr!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
No problems here and use it multiple hours a day with my Bluetooth headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
So much lag, so much unexplained battery drain.

Generally I get 4 or 5 hours with 2 hours screen time, no other services come close to the amount of CPU time used by my screen. I really hope 4.3 fixes both of these problems once and for all.

Oh, by the way this is on Verizon with the OEM extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rennerwin:
Lag and battery life

:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tekanina:
Damn that's terrible. I got around 12-15 with 3 hours ost I have the sprint variant with stock extended. Are you on stock android?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
Same story with stock, CM10.1, and Paranoid Android. I'm sure any other custom roms would be the same. Patiently hoping 4.3 is better than 4.2.2 is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVOSerb:
Battery life and signal including Wi-Fi signal. In my house I am literally 20 feet away from the router and I get barely one bar on Wi-Fi icon thingy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
1. Battery life

2. Reception

3. Camera quality

4. Speaker phone (volume and echo for person on the other end)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherlock:
No micro SD card slot :(

And battery life is a little less
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgreen123:
the only problem make me frustraing is battery life, almost every android device like this ,even htc one which i hold now,.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mulhiny:
I've only just switched to the gnex from an Evo lte and my only complaint is a common one in this thread...battery. It sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelyoder:
Dat battery life...

Most definitely my biggest annoyance!

Another issue I've been having is when I try to switch apps, sometimes it will open a random app instead of the one I pressed. Not always even one that's currently running! :eek:

Am I the only one with this issue?

EDIT: Oh - and the wifi reception could use a major boost!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leffer:
battery battery battery battery.

This is 90% of my complaints about this phone...

I really love the thing, the extended battery (official, not one of the crazy monster ones) only really lasts about 2/3s of a day for me...

Otherwise, it can get laggy, especially with some of the newer apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChristianDude20:
I'm generally tolerant of the battery life I get, as long as I'm on wifi. My problem is the 4g battery drain, it's bad enough to make any grown man cry.

I've had this happen also. It's pretty rare, but it never really seams to go away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxina:
The only sad thing about all the Android devices I've owned is, is that Android never had the smoothness of the iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Probably because you've been able to use it on different devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] havig:
:);):D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vermelo:
Horrible sound quality when recording video. When to a concert and compared the video to my friend's iPhone and the iPhone's video sounded so clear with no distortion at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
If you really have a problem with the smoothness of 4.1+ you need to get a hobby. I mean, do you sit there looking for dropped frames here and there? I can't friggin tell the difference between the two anymore, they both look smooth to me, and they both stutter occasionally. Fortunately I have enough going on in my life that I don't keep track of how many times my device dropped a frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxina:
i dont count frames, nor do i use benchmark ****, i see what i see and what i see is that android is laggy as hell compared to iOS.

hopefully ubuntu touch will ready soon, so i can flash that over android.

also, i'd rather count frames than attack innocent people for their opinion ;)

you look quite stupid from my point of view now, dearie :3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Not trying to attack you, just trying to see why people say things like this

Am I blessed with an Android phone handed to me by God? Why does mine seem so perfectly fine to me? I've used various iOS devices, don't tell me they don't lag cause they do, I've seen it plenty. I've even had long time iPhone owners tell me my GNex is really smooth. So why do people say things like this, why??

Luckily I have no reason to care what you think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxina:
Apology denied. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
No offense to anybody, but just because you think something is perfect doesn't mean everybody else must share your opinion. We're all here to share our own thoughts. If somebody thinks it's laggy to him/her...it's his /her personal experience and not yours.

I don't want to start this mindless discussion about smoothness over and over again. I think everybody knows the answer where this difference between two devices/OS comes from. However, I've seen iphones stuttering when running third party apps as well. I don't care much about little choppiness on my gnex when it comes to third party apps but the small thing... I find it really ridiculous and unacceptable with choppy application drawer - I can tell you exactly where it stutters when I swipe (it's especially evident under widget tab). It can be even seen on N4. None will convince me that stutterfree application drawer is something google cannot achieve (it looked best on cm10, cna 3.8.0).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UltimHero:
[MENTION=5179086]forever_lol[/MENTION] did you try Nova launcher ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Yes of course I am actually using it right now. I was mainly talking about stock. My experiences so far: nothing beats scrolling between homescreens on stock launcher - 4.1.2. It's just flawless (compared even it with iphone5). I love this stock fluidity. However If it comes to application drawer the very first swipe is laggy everywhere (but still it looks best on odexed stock). The same choppiness can be noticed on last application screen (i really don't know why it happens exactly there) and under wigdet tab. I must admit it feels better on Nova but even on trebuchet (on cm10 - it looked almost perfect). It's not like I cannot sleep because of that but seriously the stock launcher is the firmware's face - something that should be just perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UltimHero:
[MENTION=5179086]forever_lol[/MENTION] - I agree with you . i have the same issue bit since im using a galaxy s2 the best experience i can get is nova and i hardly ever see frames droped when transition from apps to widgets tab ! And i hate trebuchet it lags a lot ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Hehe I was actually going to mention my previous S2 running GB (as a positive example). Trebuchet was imho much more fluid on CM10 than it is on CM10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Nothing frustrates me about my GN. I don't have any of the lag issues so many people talk about. I use CM10.1 nightly with Nova Launcher and latest Lean kernel. Of course certain apps can cause lag and I experienced that a few times but that is not to blame Android. And the fix is easy: simply stop using the app.

Samsung and Google could have put some more storage space inside. Standby time is great with over 2 days. But when I actually start using the device more actively this becomes a whole different story. Maybe one day I get the official extended battery. Until now my mobile charger is a nice workaround, and I can use it to charge other devices too.

I think Google and Samsung produced a very nice device. After a year my screen is still in perfect condition so no oled issues for me. I love my Nexus as it's the best smartphone I've had so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ovu85:
The deffective screen (the horizontal lines in the low light) beaside this, i find it a great device!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
No offense taken, was just trying to get an answer more than "it's laggy as hell"

Don't think Android is perfect, just don't see what the big deal is, what exactly is so laggy about android 4.1+?

Maybe it's because I solely use TSF Shell so I'm completely unaware of app drawer lag. Every other part of the OS seems to run smooth. The new Play store has some stutters I've noticed actually, but nothing unbearable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
For now I think ram is the most annoying issue.

I wish it had more than one GB. It's starting to annoy me when I navigate away from a game for example just to check a message and I come back and the game has to reload from start again. It's not staying active in memory and instead shutting down.

Also when using chrome which eats too much ram. If I open 2 or 3 tabs and then go to the home screen, I am left with the launcher reloading all my home screens again. The widgets and apps all have to be reloaded. I'm using holo HD launcher.

So yep. I wish we had more ram. There are barely 690 MB of ram available to the user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
This, the weak Wifi and the 1GB of RAM are my only issues. I will probably get a Nexus 5 anyway so I can deal with it in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comp625:
My biggest frustration with the (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been with the "mic mute" issue. I love that I have a mini-computer in my pocket, but I hate that it stinks as an actual telephone. The issue is random despite the numerous ROMs (including CM10) and Radio's that I've tried. No one seems to know if it's a Google coding issue or a Carrier issue.

If folks are not sure about what I am referring to, here are some links:

XDA Thread

Google Code thread

Other than that crippling issue, my other frustrations are all minor (in the big scheme of things).

Voice Recognition doesn't work when connected to Bluetooth

Phone seems "slow" when transitioning between apps, but that could be due to the smaller amount of memory (compared to more updated phones like the SIII or SIV) and/or speed of the eMMC memory

Reception could be a little better, but I can live with this if they actually fixed the mic mute issue! :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpl912:
I'm new to this Galaxy Note device and a bit confused about some requirements i read about flashing roms.

Several makes mention about that it works only for a specific kernel. How do I find out which kernel I have?

The phone currently is on paranoandroid 4.2.2 custom rom. Since it's a bit lagging, i want to flash it to a new better rom.

I'm unsure if I can simply download any custom rom and flash it or should I flash a specific kernel prior?

Also if you have any recommended rom with stock s-pen functionality would be great.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
you can download any rom of you choice and flash as its on a good kernel. for Spen you will need to stick with TW custom roms or stock roms
[Asus Transformer TF700] dady613:
what is the difference between a Online Nandroid backup and a titanium backup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
nanodroid backup referred to a full backup (kernel, rom, all apps, all settings) a completed backup of the entire OS.

Titanium backup is only used for application backup (included all the system apps, user download apps and all settings belong to the apps).

Both can be backup to local storage like internal memory or external sdcard and/or Online backup meaning to the cloud storage like Sugar sync, Asus cloud storage, Samsung cloud storage, dropbox...etc.. The advantage of Online backup is you can copy the backup down to your device from the cloud anywhere that have access to the internet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dady613:
thanks a lot buhohitr for the great and fast answer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] quietseb:
Usually nandroid backups are made through (a custom) recovery, which implies you need to reboot into recovery mode to perform the operation.

The one error in buhohitr's answer is that in this case, online means you don't have to reboot, the backup is performed while your android system is live and running. Less time spent offline (and on a phone, no missed calls...)

I was not aware this had been turned into an app, I knew only a version of the onandroid script. Will try that (on my unlocked phone, not my locked tablet).
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You're correct if you referred to "Online" as a name of an app :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HighVoltage_:
Hi there.

I am going to make a media center runned from my xperia s.

And I am going to make a stand for it.

My plan is this:

HDMI cable to flatscreen

Audio from 3,5 jack to my amplifier and therefore my speakers.

I just flashed custom rom (XTZexperience 2) wich allows navigation bar because it is gonna be controlled with my mouse and keyboard.

Emulators etc. will be installed and controlled with DualShock 3.

Followings are still question marks:

Wich is best way to connect bluetooth keyboard and mouse? USB or is it possible to connect them straigt to phone without any bluetooth receivers plugged to USB because if so how I can charge at the same time?

And will any bluetooth keyboard and mouse do?

And is it possible that clicking them wakes and unlocks the screen?

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Will update soon!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
You need a dock to connect keyboard and mouse in the same time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HighVoltage_:
What does that mean? Why?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Phone won't give you so much voltage as dock. But if you want to connect it with bt you also need dock to recognize your keyboard, mouse and HDMI in the same time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HighVoltage_:
I am littlebit dumb but why do I need Møre voltage if I am using Bluetooth. Nothing is connected to USB.
